OUR WATER HIGHWAYS

The National Rivers and Harbors
congress has adopted resolutions favor
ing:
l. A bond issue of $500, 900, 900 for
the improvement Of our water high
ways;
?. Immediate prosecution of work
already begun and the beginning of
important new work;
3. Liberal appropriations for cur,
rent contracts.
Speaker Cannon, the head of the
group of men who control legislation
in the house tells the congress that be
does not favor the present issue of
bonds. lie objects on the score Of
economy. He wishes to do nothing
hasty.
A well matured plan might we'll
precede the voting of bonds. Yet Mr..
Cannon cannot have failed to notice
that Canada is spending upon new
waterways IA sum far greater in pro
portion to her resources than that
proposed, and partly by so doing is
diverting our Atlantic grain export
trade to Montreal; that Prussia is
spending on canals and rivers sums
proportionally greater; that New York
unaided is spending $1OI, 900, 600 and
probably much more on canals with
popular approval.
German administration, the most
scientific in the world, uses connecting
waterways as the haudmaids of rail
ways, helping with their heavier work.
Our ablest railIoad men. like Mr.. Hill,
recognize the relation. 1t is i'm
possible for our railroads to furnish
within the next few years. the inoreas-
ed facilities the country needs.

annual interest is little moro than the

THE JURY SYSTEM.

Hung juries, compromise verdicts,
verdiots adverse to public clamor and
verdicts apparently inconsistent with
the facts upon which they are based
excite criticism against a system,
which like all human institutions is
hampered by imperfections. To con-
| denim the system from the verdict of
a particular jury is like condemning
righteous life from some careless or
lnadvertent act or remark. Verdicts
rendered by ju1ies throughout the
country, in the great aggregate, are in
accordance with Justice and right.
Human conduct is incapable of being
measured by moral yard stick. Acts
under a given state of circumstances
may not be crime in the code of
morals or the statutes of law. In law
as it applies to conduct, in ethics and
in the affairs of man a mathematical
precision is not obtainable. In this
life, there are other things than pure
reason, and they are the most potent
of all. Love among families, senti,
ment among friends and patriotic i'm
pulses which impel men to heroic
deeds are not explained in pure reason.
Logic and law part company with SEN
tlment. The law may point to YER
dict of guilty, but sentiment, without
law, without logic and without reason,
returns a verdict in accordance with
intuitive justice. The unwritten law
Is an inherent perception that springs
from sentiment which can not be
circumsoribed in words or incorporated
in statute. And SO it is with verdicts
of juries. The Inexplicable, without
consciousness of jurors, leads them to
verdict not contemplated in law.
And yet. this is Justice, founded on the
in expressible and based on the inher-
ent perception of things. In the inter
probation of law, human impulse is not
considered, while in the deliEeration
of a jury it fashions their verdict.
The tie which binds families, and to a
less extent binds man to man is a po-
tent factor, not only in the jury room,
but where ever men may meet-Ex-
change.

THE FAITHFUL DOG"

(From an argument made by George
Graham Vest, date and place unknown,
before Missouri jury in a dog oase.)
Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend man has in this world may
turn against him and become his
enemy. His son or daughter that be
! has feared with loving care may prove
ungrateful. Those who are nearest
and dearest to US, those whom we trust
with our happiness and our good
name, may become traitors to their
faith. The money that a man has be
may lose. 1t flies away from him,
perhaps when be needs it most. A
mans reputation may be sacrificed in
moment of i'll considered action.
The people who are prone to fall on
theit knees to do US honor when success
Is with us may be the first to throw
the stone of malice when failure set
ties its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolute. unselfsh friend that man
can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proves ungratetul or treacherous,
is his dog.
Gentlemen of the jury, mans dog
stands by him in prosperity and in
poverty, in health and in sickness.
He will sleep on the cold ground,
where the wintry winds blow and the
snow drives fleroely, if only he can be
near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to offer,
he will lick the wounds and sores that
come in encounter with the roughness
of the world. He guards the sleep of
his pauper master as if he were a
prince. When all other friends desert
he remains. When riches take wings
and reputation falls to pieces he is as
constant in his love as the sun in its
journey through the heavens If for
tune drives the master forth an outoast
i'll the world, triendless and homeless.
the faithful dog asks no higher priv
lege than that of accompanying him
to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies; and when the
last scene Of all comes. and death
takes the master in its mbraco and his
body Is laid away in the cold ground.
no matter if all other friends pursaa
their way, there by his grayesgde w..
the noble dog be found, his bead ...

They must have had a hilariously
good time of it over in Grant county.
The Canyon City Blue Mountain Eagle
says: 1t was proven Christmas eve in
various portions of the county beyond
a peradventure OF a doubt that booz-
ing and waltzing mix Just about as
harmoniously as cats and dogs. No
body has any objection to boozing and
nobody has any objection to waltzing,
but not until the spider and the fly
become chums and the lion chooses the
lamb for his side kicker can these two
incompatible elements make a peace
full union. Waiting is all right in
its place, boozing is all right in its
place, torch is all right in its place,
and giant powder is all right in It's
plaue; but when you come to put the
torch and the powder together you
get about the same result that you get
when boozing and waltzing arc mixed.
Two-s stepping aud hooaing are not so
bad. as they go nicely together like
water and oil. but the waltz is insoI-
uble in booze and they always mix like
bis Satanic Nots and the Decalogue.

Monthly at First.

The authoritative announcement
was made today that the American
Bridge company, about whose plans
there has been much speculation, will
start at once on the erection of its
mammoth plant at Gary.
This is no idle rumor. The Of
fcials of the company have ordered
work to begin right away and to
be rushed to completion.
The initial capacity of the plant
is to be 10000 tons of structural steel
monthly and plans are already being
made for the future extension of the
giant industry to capacity of TO-
600 tons of steel monthly.
The working capacity of the plant
at first will be 1000 men. The plant
is to be built now to accommodate
that number.
This is the best news that Gary has
had in many months. It will, COM

source, be received with acclaim by the
people of Gary.
