INLAND WATERWAY IMPROVE
MENT IN ACUTE STAGE.

The question Of inland waterway
Improvement is now in its acute stage.
Like all great public questions involv-
| ing the expenditure Of money from
The national treasury the principal
object i'm view had been overlooked
| in the discussion of the question. of
cost. Today. thanks to an awakened
public sentiment in and among public
officials no less than the great
body Of citizenship, the question of
cost has become secondary because of
the demonstration of the benefits that
would ensue to all classes of trade and
commerce and, inevitably, to the great
body Of consumers.
If there has been delay in the
awakening Of public sentiment on the
question OF inland waterway improve
ment, and if there has been delay in
the awakening of the official mind. il
Is none the less true that when the
American people finally decide on the
doing Of any great work. the work is
as good as done. The recent trip of
President Taft down the Mississippi
showed, as no other object lesson could
show. the determination to formulate
a policy and to pursue that policy
without halting-with the pork barrel
for all time eliminated and with pro-
iects determined on their merfts. and
not on extraneous influences and car
ried on to completion for the public
good and the advancement Of the trade
and commerce of the whole country.
That feature Of the new policy, which
has grown TO proportions Of active life
and perfect strength through the ac-
tivity and persistence of the national
rivers and harbors congress. was made
plain by the president i'm his address
at ST. Louis. II is a policy in which
all who favor inland waterway i'm
provement for the general good will
unite with the utmost heartlness.
Another showing Of the demand for
Improvement Of the inland waterways
OF the country is i'm "a recent exceed
ingly well timed editorial i'm the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal I'm which that
paper. from the banks of the Missls-
sippi demands the Improvement OF
the Ohio river to a nine-foot stage not
for the benefit Of the people OF the

A Vienna merchant who had spent
the summer vacation at Altenberg af-
ter reaching his home sent an oil
painting of the Madonna to the au-
thorities of the vacation resort with
the request that it be placed i'm the

priest be requested to officiate when
the painting was unveiled. Father

to carry out the request, but sent

THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR.

Its money makes the old mare CO.
Get it, by fair means if you cam
If not, we'll try another plan;
The needful thing in life's brief span
Is money; get it, fellow-man.
Get it in silver or in gold,
In stock or bonds, both new and old,
In oil, in railroads, houses, land
Grab anything that comes to hand
Get money, fairly, if you can,
But get it, somehow, greedy man.
Cash in your politics, your friends,
Make your religion serve your ends;
You cheat the church, you're smart
and sly,
You whited wall! you living lie
Get money, in any way you can,
Gold is your god-idolatrous man!
Heed not the hard pressed poor mans
prayer,

The bitter cry you must not reck,
Though heel be grinding another5

Get money, by any infamous plan,
Though the blood sweat starts on your

OF ill-won wealth you have a store,
And still are reaching out for more,
When a grewsome guest (unbidden

With chilling touch, says Come with

LEWIS HAS TRIUMPH IN
Fight ON BLACK ROOT
Seed Produced In Sumter
Resistant

Atlanta ia Ga, Sept. 25.-Resistant
varieties of cotton which will throw
off the dread disease of black root
and anthracnose, so prevalent in this
state, have been successfully grown
in Georgia this year and it now seems
only question of time before these
two menaces to the cotton crop will
be entirely eradicated.
Prof. A. G. Lewis of the State De-
partment of Entomology, in charge of
cotton culture, has spent the entire
week in South Georgia picking the
cotton which has stood the tests with
the view to securing the seed for
more widespread dissemination next
season.
In two score of the most afflicted
points in South Georgia the resistant
varieties were planted by him this
spring and this fall the splendid re-
suits are shown by good stand and
multiplicity of well developed bolls
devoid of any disease.
The seed from this cotton will be
brought to Atlanta and from this
point distributed to infected sections
of the state, in small quantities, next
spring so that these resistant varie-
ties may be grown and thereafter
generally used.
1t is recalled that at the recent ses-
sion of the legislature $4,000 was ap-
propriated for the purpose of fight
ing the black root, which is costing
Georgia hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually. Since then various
counties have been organized to be-
gin the crusade against these diseases.
The use of these resistant varie-
ties will be one of the methods used.

THE MIDDLE WEST.


In commenting on President Taft:
reply to the recent appeal of Gov
Johnson of Minnesota for the West tt
organize against the East, the New
Orleans Picayune says:
There is no danger of any seri-
GUS controversy between the east
ern and western divisions of the
Union, because there are no such
radical differences of condition
that can create any such conflict.
What is going to happen, however,
and that is enevitable, is that the
Mississippi valley is going, by
reason of its preponderating pop
ulation and its immense agricul-
tural and industrial Importance.
to rule the country The time is
not far away when Chicago in
population will equal the Eastern
metropolis, while New Orleans
will have a population as great as
that of Chicago today; ST. Louis
will soon have millions, while
Memphis, ST. Paul, Minneapolis.
Louisville, Cincinnati Indianapolis
and Wheeling will have each a
million, and Pittsburg will be one
of the worlds most wonderful
hives of industry.
The mighty heart of the country
will control it, and the sections of
North and South will be obliterat-
ed, while those of the extreme
East and far West will have no
reason to quarrel. The richest
and most productive and populous
part of the country will hold con-
troll, and that is all of it.
This prediction of the future of the
Mississippi valley is glowing, but hard
ly overdrawn. The Mississippi valley
can support a population equal that Of
the whole country at present, and it is
developing race. that through its
energy and business capacity viii

years, with the exception of CLEVELAND

from the East. 1t is true that Mr.
Arthur served as such for nearly foul

Out.

New York, Sept 25.-Col. Roose-

in British East Africa which begins in
the October number of Scribner's Mag
azine, is entitled African Game
Trails" The writer has set down his
impressions of the region while they
were still fresh. He speaks of the
pioneers of the British colony, and
contrasts them with those he knew in
his early days on the Western praries
He tells of his hunts and the wild ami
NAL life as he catches glimpses of it
on his journey.
His ride up country on the cow
catcher of Gov. Jackson's special train
is described thus:
Next morning we were in the game
country, and as we sat on the seat over
the cowcatcher it was literally like
passing through vast geological gar
den. Indeed no such railway journey
