GOOD FOR COUNTRY
IMPROVEMENT OF WATERWAYS
WILL DEVELOP RESOURCES
OF EVERY SECTION.
FREIGHT CARRIED CHEAPLY
Make Direct Saving In Cost Of Trans-
portation by tho Water Routes, and
Indirectly Serve to Lower Railway
Carrying Rates.

Indirectly Serve to Lower Railway
Carrying Rates.
The claim has been made in previ-
GUS art1cles-and facts and figures
given to support the claim-that wa
terways carry freight more cheaply
than the railways do or can, and that
they compel the railways to carry
freight more cheaply than they other
wise would, making q saving Of hun
dreds of millions Of dollars year, even
under present conditions, and indicat-
ing vast increase In that saving II all
waterways should be improved. And
made that the surest way to enlarge
the business and Increase the profits
of the railroads Of the United States
is to improve the waterways OF the
United States. The best guide to the
future is the experience of the past,
pened to railways when waterways
have been improved.
That the improvements in the chan
nels and harbors of the lakes have
been of great benefit, both to the rail-
ways which parallel their shores and
to those which run from lake cities to
the interior, Is q fact so plain that
1t needs no argument to support It,
There are no more prosperous and
profitable roads In the country than
those that serve the region tributary
to the lakes. But no one questions
the wisdom of continuing the improve
ment Of the lakes, or Of our ocean
harbors. The real question is as to
the improvement Of our rivers, and If
we wish to study the effect Of river
improvement. either on railway reve-
nues or national development, we
must go to Europe.
Results In Bohemia.
During the fifteen years that i'm
provements were under way on the
Elbe river, in Bohemia, the river traf-
fic, as a natural result of the better
channel, increased f1vefold. But traf-
f1c on the competing railways In
creased still more largely and the div
idends on the main line, from Teplitz
to Auss1g, rose to 16 per cent. per
annum
Similar results followed the canali-
zation Of the River Main, from May
ence, on the Rhine, to Frankfort,
which was finished in the latter part
of 1886. The river traffic, which
amounted to only $4,000 tons in that
year, began to grow and has kept on
growing, being 1,273,ooo tons in 1902
There are two railroads between
Frankfort and Mayence, one on each
side of the river. What happened to
them? Did their business show a Sc
rious falling Off? Or were they forced
into the hands Of a receiver On tho
contrary their traflc. which was Gill;
900 tons In 1886, also began to grow,
and by 1902 had reached 1905, 600
tons, or more than double what 1t was
when the railroads had a practical
monopoly of the business of Frank
fort.
The mere statement of the in
creased tonnage does not tell the
whole truth of the matter, for the
tonnage was not only more than
doubled in quantity, but greatly
raised in grade, so that 1t could pay,
and did pay, much higher rate per
ton per mile.

Elmo German Waterways.

Practically all tho railways of Ger
many are state owned and state oper-
ated. Out Of total of $4,000 miles,
in round numbers, only about $500
miles are operated by private COM
panies. Germany also has one Of tho
finest systems Of waterways In tho
world, and a study Of tho balance
sheet Of the German railway system
shows that the results which followed
the improvement Of the River Main
are not an exception, a mere coinci-
dence, but are the natural outworking
Of principle Of general application.
In the calendar year 1907, after paying
for operation, maintenance, repairs,
renewals, new equipment, interest on
bonds, contribution to the sinking
fund, and every other item which tho
most careful bookkeeping required to
be charged up, the German railways
turned $1s4,o0o,o0o Of absolutely net
revenues into the treasures Of the
various states. This was 5000 per
mile of line operated, while the CORE
spending figure on United States rail-
ways for the fiscal year 1907 was
only $780, little over one-third as
much.
Much the greater part Of the total
revenue Of the German states Is de-
rived from their railways, II cents out
of every dollar received by Prussia in
1907 being 80 obtained. Yet German
statesmen keep on, year after year,
spending money earned by their rail-
ways In building and improving water
ways to compete with those same rail-
ways, on which they depend as the
principal source OF national income
In the light Of the facts given above
1t will not do to say that these Ger
man statesmen do not know what they
are about. On the contrary, they are
acting, as has been well said, "in fur
therance OF a policy tho wisdom of
which time and experience have fully
confirmed"
Always and everywhere tho result
is the same-the improvement of
waterway is benefit to competing
railways. For this result. as fer any
other, there is q good and sufncient
reason, but 1t must be left for another
time te tell what that reason t.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
 was born in Aras in 1775. He began life as e baker and early became the terror of his companions by his athletic frame and violent disposition. At the same time he was notorious thief, and after many disgraceful adventures he enlisted in the army. In 179e he re
 turned to Paris with some money, which, however, he soon sQuandered, Next he was sentenced at Lille to eight years hard labor for forgery, but re- peatedly escaped. and in 1908 he be- came connected with the Paris police as detective. His previous career enabled hin. to render important serv. ices, and he was appointed chief of the safety brigade. chiefly composed of re- prfeved convicts, which purged Paris of the many dangerous classes. In 1918 he received full pardon, and his connection with this service lasted un- til about 1928, when he settled at St Mande as paper manufacturer. Soon after the revolution of 1880 he became political detective, but with little success. In 1S48 he was again em. ployed under the republican govern. ment. but he died penniless in 1857.

Prince, the horse, went on without any trouble whatever, but Jack-that was the name of the donkey-could neither be coaxed nor driven out before the footlights. We finally had to go on with the perform ance with the donkey left out. After the show was over we got together and tried to find out what had been the matter. Nobody could offer an ex- planation until one of the stage hands happened to pick up a program. which showed that Princes name was print ed in the same kind of type we used for Jack.

Moroccan Red Tape.

Official correspondence in Morocco ls couched in very dowery and fam boyant style. It is interspersed with variety of meaningless adulatory phrases that tend to confound the real meaning of the epistle. For example, an order to the minister of finance to contract loan begins thus:
 "1n our present letter God increase his power and make the glorious sun and his moon glitter in the Armament of his felicity we have authorized our incorruptible servant (hexe follows name) to contract in the name and on the behoof of the treasury (heaven fu it loan of --,- etc.
 Considering that the 'incorruptible servant" is filching as much as he pos. sible can from the treasury it is cer. tainly necessary to pray that "heaven fill it."--London Graphic.
