Taft for Waterways.

President Taft during his trip down
the Mississippi has taken occasion to
declare himself in favor of compre-
hensive system of waterways as a part
Of the national policy of conservation
of the streams, the lands adjoining
them and the forests at their sources.
He served notice, however, that While
he was in favor of these systematic
improvements; he did not propose that
money set aside for this purpose should
become a fund to be used in particular
sections He made it clear that his
support was to be given only to sys-
tenn which had for it's purpose the i'm
proyement of the waterways OF the
whole country.
The President said at st. Louis:
1--WE should take up every COM
nrehensiye project on its merits
and determine whether the country
where the project is to be carried
out has so far developed as to JUS
tisy the enormous expenditure OF
money, and if it will be useful when
done. When we decide III favor OF
a project ] believe in issuing bonds
to carry it to completion as rapidly
as possible.
ut has been proposed that we
issue bonds for $500, 100000 or S1,OO0,-
OOO.GGO and cut it up and parcel the
money out in this and that section
of the country. l am opposed to
any such proposition because it not
only smells of the pork barrel
but would be a pork barrel
With such an assurance as this much
of the opposition to an expenditure OF
many millions for waterway improve
ments will doubtless be promptly with

An Incomplete Navy

The first American battle ship of the
Dreadnought type, the Delaware, has
been tested off the coast of Maine and
found to exceed the speed require
ments of the Navy Department. The
Delaware is twenty-five per cent.
stronger on offence and defence than
is any other ship af1oat She is not on
ly far in the lead of Great Britains
first Dreadnought but she outclasses
the latest British representatives of
that type. England, however, has a
vessel under construction which will
exceed the Delaware in the item of
tonnage by $50 tons, the Delaware hav-
ing a normal displacement of 10000,
and new British ship, the Neptune,
displacement of 20.250 tons. To match
this giant there are now building the
Utah, and Arkansas which will surpass
the Neptune having a tonnage of q, 500
each. The Delaware exceeds in horse
power and also has thus far developed
Tie greatest Sipeeus DUH the bTltlSn
and American ships carry - inch guns
arranged to be fired in one broadside,
and in that feature they are equal, but
the American ships carry subsidiary
batteries which give her a lead over
her sisters in the British Navy. 1t is
| also interesting to note that naval de-
signers at Washington are testing IA

the first of many of that type They
will be used on the largest and most
powerful vessel under design, so far as
is now known. 1t will leave displace-
ment of 10000 tons. There are no dry
docks to accommodate one of this size
and none are under construction, but
there are two, one at Puget Sound and
ore in the Hawaiin Islands that could
be extended. The battery of IA inch
equipped to meet vessel equipped
with II inch guns and hold at her mer-
CIV and keep out of the range of the
latter, craftsmanship being equal.
The building of the Delaware and the
projecting of even larger vessels Is
keeping America in the front ranks In
naval equipment. If the government
can be made to see the advantages of
an intelligent system of ship subsidies,
so that there will be a merchant ma
rine available as auXiliares and col
liers, there is no reason why the Unit
ed States should not be able to guaran-
tee peace for some years to come. The
best navy in the world is poweress
without sufficient coal carrying aux
iliaries, however, and unless some such
aid is provided the Delaware and her
sister ships will only represent the USE
less expenditure of vast sum Of
money. If we are to have navy we
must have the merchant marine to
support it. There is no doubt in the
minds of thinking people that we need
both.
