RIVERS AND HARBORS
CONGRESS WILL MEET
Special bv United Press Wire.

Special BY United Press Wire.
Washington, Nov. 21:-President
Taft, Judson Harmon, General W.
H. Bixby, chief of engineers of the
army; Col. Williams Seton, chair
man of Conservation of the Cana
dian government; Ambassador De la
Barra, of Mexico, and many other
prominent speakers will address the
Seventh Convention of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress which
will be held in this city December z,
8 and 8.
No more impressive an array of
distinguished public men has ever
been gathered together to preach
the gospel of inland waterways. At
the last convention there were more
than four thousand delegates in at
tendance. It is expected that this
number will be surpassed this year.
President Taft lie expected to
boom the work Of the Congress, the
by-word of which, according to Sec
rotary J. r. Ellison, who opened his
headquarters today is "A waterway
policy not a waterway project" In
his opening address to the delegates
in Chicago last year he said that re-
course to the waterways Of the Uni
ted States was the only solution of
the problem of transportation,-the
great problem OF the hour.
General Bixby's appearance Is also
an innovation. Heretofore chiefs Of
the corps of army engineers have re-
Trained from addressing the con-
vention on the ground that because
re khnir {xottraafA nanr.MotsAo Nth Az
work on rivers and harbors their
utterances might be miscpnstrued.
General Bixby. by reason Of his ex-
tensive experience, Is c~onyersant
with all phases of the waterway
question.
Judson Harmon is put forward by
the officials OF the Congress as the
advocate of the federal idea in the
development of waterways. In op-
position to the plan advocated In the
Congress at It's meeting in Cincin-
natl seven years ago of assessing diff
ferent states for their prorata share
in developing interstate waterways,
he Insisted that jurisdiction belong
ed entirely to the federal govern
ment and development should be
under it's direction.
Other speakers who win address
the Congress are Champ Clark, of
Missouri; Walter S. Dickey, of Kan
sas. chief promoter of the Missouri
River steamboat line; F. w. Gran
dali, of the Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION; Robert J. MscFarIand, OF
Brooklyn, and Mrs. Boyle Tomkins.

mans National Rivers and Harbors'

HAVE STRONG
CASE AGAINST
MRS. SCHENCK

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. 21.-From
the grand Jurors who indicted Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenck on the
charge of administering poison to her
husband, John o. Schenek, the mil
l~ionaire pork packer, has been learned
the character of the evidence that was
submitted to them. There We're only
three witnesses-Dr. Frank lie Moyne
Hupp, the attending physician; Miss
Evans, a nurse, and Miss Kline, the
detective nurse.
Miss Kline testified she first told
Mrs. Schenck her husband might die
at any time, and the latter instructed
her that when he did to make a rush
for his trousers the first thing and get
the bunch of keys which unlocked, the
safety deposit vault containing his
stocks and bonds, because if her hus-
bands brothers got it she would get
nothing. Mrs. Schenck also told her
that nothing would please her more
than If her husband did die.
The detective nurse suggested that
Mrs. Schenck give her husband
Knockout drops" She asked $4,000.
Mrs. Schenck said she did not have
that much, but agreed to pay her
$1,000 and to see she would v
want If she administered the pill.

A Church That is Free.

Cedar Rapids Republican: It would
not be great loss to the Catholic
church If it was separated from the
state in both Spain and Portugal. 1t
may seem hard to embark on the in
dependent career, but In time the
church would be stronger for it. The
Catholic church in the United States
supports itself and 1t is the best
part of the universal Catholic church.
In this country it is a growing insti.
tuition. 1t has vitality and faith
that 1t does not have in either Spain
or Portugal. 1t is pulsating, acniev-
ing moral organization as well as a
religious body. 1t is strong because 1t
stands Independent Of the state and
it is virile and courageous because 1t
Is self supporting and self propagat-
ing. There is nothing SO baneful as a
church hitched up with a govern
ment 1t hampers the state and 1t
cripples the church. In England also
they have relic of the past in the
form of state church, but the es-
tablished church Of England is with
out the virility that is manifest In
the Independent congregations in
that country. In all countries, in due
time the churches will be indepen.
dent from the states. We have tried
this experiment in America and 1t has
worked out so well that we can rec
ommend it to all other peoples

CONCERNING CANADA.

George Fitch, of the Peoria Herald
Transcript, recently visited Canada
and gives some of his Impressions of
the country in a series of paragraphs
in that paper. Among other things,
he says that Toronto looks like an
American city, only more So; that
north of Lake Erie the stone crop
sometimes averages one pyramid per
acre: that Lake Ontario is so beau
tiful that it is difficult to stay on
| board the trains which meander along
| its shore; that the Canadians use q
silver fiye-cent piece which istSa pity

look at all capable of accomplishing
the work done by an American nickel
Yet it carries one just as far on the
street car. works as many slot ma
chimes and buys as large a schooner
| of thirst queller as the American
nickel; that, on the other hand, the
Canadian penny is ridiculously over
grown coin. 1t can, be used for paying
postage on souvenir cards, but is more
effective as a paper weight; that Can
ada has the week end" habit.
good way to take the population oil
Ontario would be to count the passen
gers on the Saturday trains; that the
French restaurants in Montreal are

American breakfast food; that there

Montreal, and when 1t was being drag

that 1t would be foolish waste

| statute are so in conflict with the
act of congress concerning the pay
ment of the tax and the issuance OF
the receipt as to amount TO direct
burden upon the constitutional pow
er of congress to tax. In this con-
nection the decision says:
The propositions, which are in sub
stance one and the same, we think
are we'll founded Upon the con-
struction placed upon the statute by
the court below we see no escape from
the conclusion that it Immediately
and directly places burden upon the
lawful taxing power of the United
States, or, what is equivalent there
to. places a burden upon the person
who pays the United States tax, sole
ly because of the payment OF such
tax, and wholly without reference to
the doing by the person of any act
within the state which is subject to
the regulating authority of the state.
That the attempted exertion of such
a power is repugnant to the consti-
tuition of the United States is so ele-
mentary as to require nothing but
statement.
But If the mere form in which the
burdens imposed by the statute be dis
regarded and their essence be con-
sidered, nevertheless we are of the
opinion that the statute must be held
repugnant to the constitution of the
United States. This follows, because
it is clear that, in principle, state
may not SO exert It's police power as
to directly hamper or destroy law
full authority Of the government of the
United States. Here, again, the doc
trine is elementary, and finds clear
and consistent expression in the cases
previously cited.'
After discussing the matter in all
its phases and aspects and meeting all
possible arguments and objections the
court concludes that the act in ques-
ton is directly antagonistic to the
legislation of congress concerning the
subject with which the state statute
deals, since that statute adds numer-
Gus burdens and conditions in addi-
ton to those for which the act of con-
eress provides. and which burdens
are, therefore, inconsistent with the
paramount right of congress to exert.
within the limits of the constitution,
an untrammeled power of taxation.
The language of the decision is clear,
positive and conclusive. 1t admits of
no misunderstanding and affords no
opportunity for evasion. Mr. Ham
mond would do well to forego all eff
fort along the line he has in mind.

Kennedy Will Win.

Donnellson Review: 1t is really
amusing to read some of the Demo
cratic papers of this section of the
state in their predictions of how Con-
gresham Kennedy is going to be laid
on the shelf this fall. The Burlington
Gazette has it all figured out that
Pollard will be the next congressman
from the First district. It's easy for
man possessed of strong Demo-
cratic tendencies and vivid imagin-
alton to sit in his office chair and
see things coming his way, but Just
come downs into this Democratic
county of Lee and take ride over
our $500 an acre farm lands and
talk to these men who own the earth
down this way, and you will probably
be somewhat surprised when you
discover that regardless of political
utilization the voters of Lee county
are going to cast their ballots this
fall for C. A. Kennedy to succeed
himself as congressman from the
First district
And If this Democratic county OF
Lee can. on Mr. Kennedy's past rec
ord. again give him it's vote, by
what order OF reasoning do you de-
nriye him OF the support Of the Re
publican counties of the district?
1t has been said that "a prophe'
was not without honor save in his
own country" but Kennedy seems
to be an exception to that rule, for
the better you know him the more
Won are impressed with his sterling
integrity and his peculiar fitness for
the office he now holds. And when
man stands well among people
who have known him for lifetime
it's a pretty safe proposition to cast
your vote for him.

railroad and postal bank bills: ne
could as consislsatly claim credit for
the Iowa corn CROP.
We are no. So tlind as to insist
THAT the first d 'ast OF any administra-
ton measure however carefully
drawn; of the far reaching impor
lance, and multiplied legal and COM
mercial complications that are en-
bodied in either OF these bills Is
necessarily perfect because OF such
authorship. and 1t Is no reflection on
the wisdom OF the author that the
greatest legislative body in the world
should be able to so amend 1t as to
make 1t acceptable to the President,
but we do insist that the Democratic
senators, and not the insurgents, are
entitled to the credit for such better
ment. All the wisdom OF the United
States senate is not pre-empted by
either party.
The insurgents In quest for mater.
ial and assistance to embarrass thu
administration are forced to appeal
to the Democratic senators and it Is
by their position as the minority par
ty, and the helplessness Of the little
band of insurgents, without their aid
that these amendments were made.
II these bills as passed are better
than the original draft, then our
President, W. H. Taft, is big enough
to be glad of 1t. There is no creGit
due the insurgents for voting for
these two bills with the tariff com
mission appropriation bill on final
passage, because the Democrats had
forced them into a position which
compelled them to do so. The Repub-
lican majority could have enacted
either of these bills without insur-
gent votes. as they did the tariff bill
which most of them voted against.
Mr.. Insurgent Senators, you have
butted into game which when the
last card is played will spell Eek, as
prefix to your present title, but
when the votes are counted, do not
imagine that the minus quantity rep
resents loss to the Republican party
of Iowa. They have simply suspend
ed operations, or are employing their
energies to make 1t possible for a
Democratic legislature to perform a
very important duty on the senatorial
question, two and four years hence.
When you are gone, and that old War
Horse, Peters Hepburn, is chairman OF
the convention, there will be no hiss
/ ing, but we will all sing When John
ny Comes Marching Home Again
