DEEP WATERWAYS.

President Taft appears to be con-
WINGED that steps of an important char
acter toward the development of sys-
tenn of deep waterways in the country
will be taken at the present session of
congress. This was a matter which he
did not mention in his annual message
to congress He undoubtedly considers
it as a part Of the movement for the
conservation of the natural resources of
the nation, which vast subject is to be
the topic of special message to con-
gress in the near future. But in his ad-
dress at the recent convention in Wash
ington of the National Rivers and Har-
bors congress, he spoke in a most
optimistic frame of mind on the sub
ject- To delegations attending this con-
vention he gave almost positive assur-
ance that. congress would action on
this important subject. Particularly
strong were his assurances to the dele
gates representing the Ohio Valley I'm
provemc-- association hat he would
bring what influence he could in favor
of the Improvement of the Ohio river.
Similar assurances were given to other
delegations representing other individ-
ual projects.
This rather conveys the idea that
there is going to be something of a
scramble in congress, if it shows dis
position to go into this deep waterways
business at all, as to which particular
part Of the waterway improvement

work will be undertaken first And this
would appear to be going into the mat
ter with the cart hitched before the
horse. It is conceded. of course. that
the improvements needed on all the
waterways of the country, if they are
to be developed to their full value, can
not be started at one and the same
time. That would be too gigantic a
proposition for even a nation of the
wealth and resources Of the United
States to start in on. But it would be
possible, and would seem to be essen
TALLY necessary, that plans should first
be decided upon for the entire schenls
of waterways '----ovement before any
particular part of 1 work is under
taken. That is, complete system Of
deep waterways taking in, say. all of
the rivers that may be made navigable
in the great central section OF the
country and extending from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf with their tributaries
running to the East and West, should
be developed and adopted before any
one part of the work is begun, no mat
ter how important any one piece of this
work appears to be to the locality which
will be mos benefited by it.
If such a plan is not adopted and
carried out the chances are that the
work of improving the waterways will
be carried on in the future in the same
hodge-podge sort of fashion that 1t
has been in the past, only on larger
and a more expensive scale, but not
with much better results.

GOOD ROADS, CONVENTION.

Conventions a-plenty have been held
lin Topeka and many more are sched-
uled for the future but none of them
has been or will be more welcome
than that which assembled here today
The National Good Roads association.
There IS good reason for this. Its de-
liberations pertain to a matter of. SUI
preme Importance to the people of the
entire United States. IF there is any
enc proposition that means much for
the further development Of each and
every part of the country, and par
ticularly those portions Of it which are
devoted to the pursuits of agriculture.
it is improved highways. The better
they are, the freer and stronger will
flow the tide of business between the
larger and smaller communities and
the rural districts surrounding them.
And such business constitutes the life
blood of the nation.
For number of years now
an agitation has been carried on for
good roads. 1t is only within the
ra:t two or three years, though. that
much fruit has been borne of it. That
harvest has¬ been extensive as yet,
nothing like what it should be, in this
section of the country. In several OF
the eastern states. and in some of the
states of the south comprehensive plans
have been developed and adopted for
the improvement of the roads and steps
have been taken for the expenditures OF
millions of dollars in the aggregate for
the contamination of these plans. But
in Kansas and the states hereabouts,
action in this respect has not been
.1@+1 md
of her sister states in the immediate
vicinity have all kinds of good roads"
laws on their statute books. but not
much advantage has been taken OF
any of them. The reason appears to be
q simple one. For the most part these
laws leave it to the caprices OF local
communities to act in the premises.
Something towards the creation of bet
ter highways can be accomplished under
these legislative enactments, and pro-
badly considerable work will be done
along those lines in the near future. But
It is useless to expect that any ade-
ouate systenl of improved highways Will
be worked out in Kansas, or any other
state, unless a plan for. them of state
wide scope q is adopted by the leg1sla-
ture and its PRONUNCIATION placed IN
the hands of a state engineering de-
partment which will be an institution
of that sort in something besides name.
1t is gatherings Of the sort of the
National Good Roads association, now
in convention here. which help to point
the way to the development of the plans
r.eeded for the building of good roads
in every state, and which is so essen
TALLY necessary to urge the national
government to take hand In the
good roacs' - movement. That's why
the present convention here is so i'm
portant. And that's why Topeka takes
such a sincere delight in extending the
hand OF welcome to the many distin-
guished and enthusiastic delegates who
are attending the convention and like
wise to the visitors who are here to
attend the convention who may not
be delegates to it.

ORR LOST INDIVIDUALITY.

Individuality in the sense of a
mans distinct personality, in the ma
terial domain is becoming an increas-
ingly rare phenomenon writes Loren
H. B. Knox in the December Atlantic.
1--WE are forced to a common stand
ard. Even those of us who have not
material objectives can not be nom
conformers. For the few are power
less to escape the brand of eighty
millions. We are socialized into an
average. This brand of the multitude
is a mental trademark. There can be
little deviation from its grading.
Granted people of utilitarian aims,
who must conform to established
financial, commercial, and industrial
systems of completely dominating pow
er, and it is clear that their intellectual
type must be persistent. The more in
tent they become on wealth, the more
material-or uniform-minded they
grow The dead level of intellectual
ity widens.
-FOUR effort in competing for success
over the same long, difficult, foreor-
dained courses gives us all similar
mental caste. Prosperous times, with
their elation, hard times with their
despair, equally engrave the mark of
tribe. Extingulshment of individuali-
ty is the tendency of our business sys-
tenn as surely as it is that of the Ger
man army system. In our world of
affairs, intellectual individuality, if
such it may be called, is shown in the
degree, not the differentiation, of our
mental powers. The best fitted win dis

mems of the same mental Species

REFLECTIONS OF A BAcHE1.oI

IFrom the New York Press.l
The thing that makes man most con-
ceited about himself is for a girl to tell
him he doesn't seem so.
A mans idea of a bad temper is a wife
who won't be scolded without scolding
back.
The reason girl can get so much out of
her father by wheeling him is she can
make him believe nobody could do it to
him.
There is ever SO much more steady de-
pendable fun in content than in happi-
ness.
The man who wears the ties his wife
picks out for him has the greatest con-
tempt for the man who parts his hair
the way his wife makes him.
