ABLE ADDRESS BY
 GOVERNOR COMER Speaks At Meeting Of Govern
 DTS In Washington ARGUES FOR WATERWAYS Says Development of Tennessee River
Says Development of Tennessee River Is Matter of National Importance. Makes Brief Reference
 To Prohibition.

Wasi ington, January Especial )--In addressing the meeting of governors to- day Gov. B. B. Conner of Alabama said: Mr. Chairman, Associate Governors and
 Members of the Conference:
 The discussions at our meeting last year were along the lines of the natural resources of our country; their develop ment conservation and protection The relatoin Of the general government to these questions was incidentally touched upon and there was an evident tendency toward national control and s!ate sub ordination
 At that time 1 endeavored to snow that Alabama stands second 10 none in the extent of yellow pine and hardwood for ests, and that we have made some pro- gress toward the protection Of this prop erty. l also attempted to show that in mineral resources-lime rock. cement rock. coal and iron ore-we stand among the first. The Birmingham district |. rich in all these deposits both as to quantity and to quality and their de- Nelopment for domestic and commercial purposes has been found easy and prof. table. Coke for combustion lime rock for flushing and iron ore for smelt- ing are contiguous and make the manu- fracture of. iron cheap. It was shown that our pig Iron in quality. quantity, cheapnes and economy Of manufacture has not only met the markets of Amer ica but has gone in competition with the world. It has gone to New Castle, dem- onstrating that our district is not entire ly dependent upon home consumption or the tariff. It was also shown that steel rails made from the iron of this dis triet by the basic process excel in esl- during qualities and reliability the fa- mn cfa ,..fl-

Regarding Port of Mobile.


 The Alabama, the Tombigbee, and the Warrior, reach a commerce which could and should be developed in an unstint- ed measure. If the channel at the port of Mobile was made 20 feet deep and if the same amount of money was ex- pended on these rivers and the branches of the Warrior were made into canals and locks as has been done in the Pitts burg district, SO as to reach and serve the Birmingham district, then that sec ton would furnish a life and tonnage that would startel not only America, but the world. As to its possibilities I would suggest to you the statement made by the Queen of sheba to King Solomon.
 Mir Roosevelt, a great President, who was the leading spirit in our former con- ference thought, as l understood that the undeveloped power of our waterways should belong to the national govern ment and that the government should maintain a lease-hold in their develop- ment In this differ with him, as I be- lieve that the government has an ease ment in our waterways respecting nayi- gable qualities and rights, but the power in those waterways is riparian and should belong to the landlord. If, however ownership in the undeveloped waterpower belongs to the government, then I say that the government should develop the water when it is in a section where 1t can and will be used in an economic and industrial way and should sell or lease it to consumers In other words, in- stead of, as now claimed, leasing the right to develop the power of our rivers, the government should develop and lease or sell that power in the same manner as the government now develops the arid lands and leases and sells irrisa- ion This would be more economic and instead of retarding would accelerate de- velopment. The government. when build ing dams and locks for navigation. could construct. a dam for developing power This kind of construction would be bet ter and more economic than leasing the power to individuals who would neces- sarly have to construct an additional dam for power development with refer ence to locks and navigation. If the states integrity or sovereignty does not extend to the power in the stream, such an arrangement would maintain the in- tegrity of the power fin the government and secure the use of the power for the citizens and not lock 1t up in a trust. For instance, in the Tennessee river we lava the famous Mussel and Colbert

Alabama's Splendid Rivers.

IL was further shown that our water ways-the rivers connecting with the gulf at the port of Mobile and those which flow into the Apala chicola and Ghoetowatchee bays, and all of which extend back into and throughout our whole state-are mere in number and quantity of water than these of any other state with the possible exception of the state of Louisiana. We lack only one thing-channel; we have the water. At our meeting last year l recommend ed and do now in the most earnest man. ner urge that our congressman and sen ators and that you and your congress men and senators should favor most lib- eral appropriations for opening these channels that our waterways may be developed and made useful not only to our own state but to yours For ages, beyond the time of the Pilgrim fathers. these rivers, unused and undeveloped, have run down their courses. In a hap hazard way the government has hereto fore triggered with the job spending quite a sum on Mobile harbor-on the Alabama and the Warrior rivers, Come s6oOo,000 or s7,000,000 has been expended in developing the Tennessee river and yet we have an obstruction in the Muscle and Colbert Shoals. If some consistent, economic work were done on this river the navigation of which commences at Knoxville, Tenn, the commerce of it's whole length could be easily and readily distributed throughout the world The Tennessee river with the Cumberland and Ohio make great tributary of the Mis- sissipp at Cairo. The Tennessee has as much water as the Cumberland and Ohio put together and is never choked with ice If as many million dollars were con- servatlvely- spent on this river as on the Ohio we would have queen cities at more places than one long its banks. This river connects with that great stream. the Mississippi which President Taft, in a recent address. lkened unto a magnificent woman of uncertain dispo- sition. Upon this river 1t has been rec commended that work and money of the government should be put to make it always navigable and freight carrying from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexico. The Tennessee thus binds with it's long reach and strong waters a great section of our country and if developed could reach thousands of miles and could msterial- ly effect the commercial centers of the world. The full extent of its possibilities reminds me of the story of a certain great missionary bishop to Africa, who, making a return journey to see his peo- pie, became fatally sick at sea. On his death bed he was asked if he desired to be buried back at homo among the peo- pie he loved so well and he replied. "No, bury me at sea so that the waves from my body may reach every shore" To the government I say. develop this great river that its commerce may reach every 1fa

Mrs. BOwser pursued the subject no
farther. She felt piqued over the
money question, and began wondering

about midnight. Mr.. Bowser saunter-
ed out and called on the butcher,
grocer and druggist, and exhibited his
gun and told what he was prepared
for, and in each case he was patted on
the back and complimented. Hints
were thrown out that If the city had

to be carried out. Ten minutes after

to be sound asleep. Mr.. Bowser got

hour he was in the land of Nod. A
long hour afterwards, when the house
had become so still that the mice
could be heard trailing over the floor,
he was given the elbow and a voice
whispered in his ear:

And Bowser He Turns Out to Be a
Hero.

There had been two burglaries on
Mr.. Bowsers block and the detectives
who had been sent to investigate had
said to him that his turn would prob
ably come next, and that he had better
be prepared for it. They had in fact,
put on for time.-In answer, Mr..
Bowser had swelled out his chest
and said:
Gentlemen, 1 only hope that bur-
glar may come. 1 would not scare
him away for nothing. He will come
to his doom, 1 shall not spare him.

will have a dead man to sit on the

Mrs. Bowser he provided himself with
a revolver. The night he brought it
home she noticed the way he was
sailing around and examining doors
and windows, and queried:
you don't think we shall be visited
by burglars, do you?"
1T certainly do. Why shouldn't we?
They have visited other houses on the

DOOM

Mr.. Bowser, empty gun in hand, ad-
mitted everybody and took them to
the rear of the family room and
showed them where the wire screen to
one of the windows had been burst
through. They peered out and saw the
shed beneath the window. They
peered further and saw an old Billy
goat standing in the next yard and
looking up at them in a puzzled way.
They looked and grinned and nodded
and went away. The goat had jumped
to the fence-thence to the shed
thence through the screen, but even
the policeman didn't give it away. He
had six of Mr.. Bowser's cigars in his
pocket when he said:
Desperate criminal, and / hope
you winged him. Better look for
blood stains in the morning. I'll bet
we don't have any more burglaries on
this block for a year to come"
And when the house was finally
cleared of strangers, Mrs. Bowser
said:
Now, then, tell me all about it,
