President Airs Views on Water

OPPOSES BIG BOND ISSUE
Any Plan Adopted Must Benefit
the Whole Country.

st. Louis, Oct 26.--Miliions of
bonds for inland waterway improve

barrel was the new slogan enacted by
President Taft on the eve of his de-
parture down the Mississippi to look
into the proposition for a lake-to-gulf
Improvement.
About 200 United States senators
and congressman, including Speaker
Cannon himself, sat on the platform
Of the coliseum when the president
made his declaration. The immense
audience, filling every quarter of the
big auditorium, cheered it's approval.
There is a project now on foot"
cried the president, for his voice was
almost gone and he was speaking with
great effort, 'that involves the issue
of $500, 100000 or $1,000,0oO,Ooo in
bonds for the improvement of the
Mississippi, the improvements to be
distributed between various sections
of the Mississippi valley, part to the
Atlantic, part to Missouri and so on
am opposed to it. am opposed to
it, not only because it smells of the
pork barrel, but it will be the pork
barrel"
Elsewhere the president declared:
Every measure that is to be taken
up and adopted must be on the ground
that it is useful to the country at
large, and not on the ground that it
is going to send certain congressman
back to congress or on the ground
that it is going to gives certain part
of the country during the expenditure
of that money prosperity. If that is
The principle, and cne which I depre
cate, that is to obtain, am in favor

Governor EberhaTt May Summon
Conservation Congress.
MANY Ns.TTERs TO CONSIDER
demonstration, Drainage and Wa
terWays Most Important.

Governor Eberhart expects to sum.
mon 81 state conservation congress next
winter and as soon as he returns from
the deep waterways congress in New
Orle ans will give tie subject earnest
attention.
In MS Crookston address recently
he dwelt at some length on the agri-
cultural resources of Minnesota, and
while he gave high praise to the re-
suits attained by the farmers of the
state, he did not fail to make it plain
that there is more work for them.
While agriculture in his opinion al.
ways will remain the lnainstay of the
nation, there remains much to be
done in other directions.
To supply material for lumber, the
vast stretches of barren cut-cver lands
must be reforested The federal gov
ernment has entered upon the work;
the state has made a beginning, but
must do much more to make the move
ment of material value. The prob
lem of transportation calls for the
development of waterways and good
roads as supplementary adjuncts to
the railroads. To obtain cheap and
constant power the streams must be
harnessed and utilized. While the
people are waiting for the forests to
grow, fuel must be provided, and all
that is N sight as substitute for
wood and coal are the immense peat
bogs covering millions of acres.
To reclaim thousands upon thou
sands of acres of swamp lands for the
benefit of the husbandman and the
state calls for a general system of
drainage en- plan which will embrace
the entire state.
In brief, the conservation CT farm
lands, reforestration of cut-oyer lands,
development of Waterrower, Inaugural
tion of artificial waterways, scientific
drainage, utilization of peat beds, and
extension of good roads. are some of
the problems Governor Eberhart would
have referred to a congress of the
people Such a body might also con-
slider the question of protecting fish
and game.

That the shortage of A. A. Kremer,

the latest report reaching st. Paul

New York Ave-, N. W., City.


Query-Up to January last / had
been receiving pension of $14 per
month for injury to right leg, resulting
in varicose veins. applied for pen
sion under the age act of February 6,
1907, and obtained 1t. This injury was
incurred in service and line of duty.
The original pension was allowed at
two dollars per month, and increased
until S14 per month was allowed. The
allowance has never been commen-
surate with the disability. My last
claim for increase of pension was re-
jected on the ground that 1 was draw
ing the full amount to which l was en-
titled for said disability. The same
disability has prevented me from OBJ
tanning position at an increased
salary on account of my inability to
stand on my feet sufficiently to per-
form the work in which l am engaged.
Would it be advisable for me to make
application for renewal and increase
of pension under the general law, and
do you think that the medical exam
liners would recommend an increase Of
pension because my disability pre-
vents me from obtaining an increase
in salary as stated?-E. G.
Answer-The recommendation of
the board of examining surgeons
would be in accordance with the de-
gree, you are, in their opinion, disabled
from the performance of manual labor
by reason of disability for which you
were pensioned under the general law.
In reference to making application for
increase and renewal of pension under
the general law, you must determine
whether the disability for which you
were pensioned under said general law
has increased materially since you
were last examined by board of ex
amining surgeons. The application for
increase and renewal of pension under
the general law must be accompanied
by the affidavit of a physician corrobo
rating your allegations.

min F. Trueblood, secretary of the
American Peace Society," on "The Pres.
ent Position of the Peace Movement"
What Has Been Accomplished.
Dr. Trueblood said in part:
Let me sketch in the barest out
lines what has already been accom-
care of itself.
II The men and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their diff
ferences, are now thoroughly organ
ized. A hundred years ago there was
not society in existence organized
to promote appeal to the forum of
reason and right in the adjustment of
international controversies. To-day
there are more than 500, nearly
every important nation having
its group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens of
thousands, from every rank and class
In -philanthropists, men of
trade and commerce, educators and
jurists, workingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.
The organized peace party has its
International Peace bureau at Berne,
Switzerland, binding all its sections
into one world body. 1t has its Inter
national Peace congress which has
held II meetings in 20 years-con
crosses over which statesmen now feel
1t an honor to preside and which are
welcomed by kings and presidents
with warmth of interest and gen
erousness of hospitality scarcely ac
corded to any other organizations. II
has its great national congresses In
many countries, like this present one
and that in Carnegie hall, New York
two years ago; and its special confer
ence like that at Mohonk lake. 1t has
its unsurpassed banquets and festi
yals, like that given to the Seven
teenth International Peace congress!
by the British government in Londoi
last July. and those recently given b!
the Peace society Of the city OF New
York.

no One Wants to Do It, But Soma
Paint viii Wear No Longer.

When you have job of painting
done you don't expect to have it done
over again very soon. But to make
a lasting job, several things must be
taken into consideration-the proper
time to paint-the condition of the sur.
face-the kind of materials to use, etc.
All these matters are fully covered in
the specifications which can be had free
by writing National Lead Company,
1902 Trinity Building, New York,
and asking for Houseowners Paint
ing Outfit No. 40. The outfit also in.
cludes a book of color schemes for
both interior and exterior painting,
and simple instrument for detecting
adulteration in the paint materials.
The outfit will solve many painting
problems for every houseowner.
Meantime while buying paint see that
every white lead keg bears the famous
Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which
is an absolute guarantee of purity and
quality. If your paint dealer cannot
supply you National Lead Company
will see that some one else will.

interest.
Say" he observed, "is The Wings

"One darned long story" he replied,
throwing his whole soul into the
words.

GREAT CONGRESS OF PEACE
WORKERS HELD in CHICAGO
Thousands of the Opponents of Warfare Including Many
Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Chicago.-Every civilized country on
the globe was represented in the sec
ond National Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of its kind ever held
In America, and brought to Chicago
some $4,000 persons who are Jealous
workers in the cause of worldwide
peace. Among these we're eminent
statesmen and diplomats of this and
other nations. Unfortunately, official
duties prevented both President Taft
the honorary president, and Secretary
of War Dickinson, the president of the
congress, from being present.
On Sunday there were special serv-
Ices in most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices of
socialist and labor organizations, and
large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
zones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi
cago.
Welcome to the Congress.
Orchestra hall was filled to the
limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele
gates, and most of them had re-

The Chalfonte, Atlantic City, N. G.
Query-Please inform me whether a
Spanish war soldier can ever receive
a pension higher than SIS per month.
l see that the leper, in Washington,
d. c., receives but $72 per month. Is
there any way a soldier who served in
the war with Spain can get pension
of 500 per month ?-Henry T. P.
Answer-A soldier or sailor who
served in the war with Spain can re-
ceive $10O per month pension under
the general law for the loss of both
eyes or the loss of both hands or the
loss of both feet, provided the same is
due to service and line of duty. The
leper to whom you refer receives $72
per month pension, because the pen
sion bureau has decided that he is dis
abled by reason of disability due to
service and line of duty to such an eX-
tent as to necessitate the regular aid
and attendance of another person.
