have been spent on the improvement
Of waterways in the past.

Instead of working toward a great

money had been spent in piecemeaI

the limitations of the home clamOT

president said, only piecemeal work
can be expected. The matter should

view and the whole subject of i'm
provement should be considered with
reference to their necessity, their
practicability and the common good Of
the country. When approved from
these points Of view, bonds should be
issued and the work carried through
with a rush.
CONTROL RAILROADS.
While improved waterways are the
best method Of controlling railroad
rates, the president said. they were
not the only means and that the inter
state commerce laws should be
amended so as TO make them effective.
The president said he did not believe
in radical laws that would cripple
railroads and he thought all wise peo-
pie should agree that the best policy
is a square deal to the railroad, that
they should be allowed rates which
they ought to have and that popular
prejudice should not be permitted to
deprive them of a reasonable profit.
I'VE are funny people" remarked
the president. Before the railroad
comes everybody is in favor of 1T. A
month after it comes you can't find
anybody in the country in favor of it
unless it be a local council"
The president arrived at eleven
o'clock this morning and after a short
automobile ride was taken to the wa
terways convention. He returned to
Gregory this afternoon, leaving to
night for Houston and Dallas.

Blackpool, Eng, Oct. 22.-The capa-

Of a daring pilot were exemplified
here today when Hubert Latham, the
French aviator, gave an exhibition
that first entertained and then terri
fed the spectators. In a monopIane
Latham battled against a gale that
was blowing 80 miles an hour and he
twice circled the course. AS the ma
chine struggled in the teeth of the
gale it appeared at times to stand
still in the air. When, however, La
than came about in the wind, the
monoplane was driven at a rate esti-
mated TO be between 80 and 100
miles an hour. At one time he bare

aviator to come down. When Latham
did alight he was not permitted to at

Such fairs are necessary to build up

ties of our state are.
