ADEQUATE appropriations for waterway
Improvement. He has repeatedly stat
ed, in speeches and in print, that IL
would cost railroads something like
S50O,OO0,O00 a year for twenty years
to extend and equip themselves TO
keep pace with transportation de-
mands on railroads, if commercial de-
velopment continues for the next
twenty years as rapidly as in the past
twenty years. Waterway students or
the highest order declare that 81 ,OoO,-
100000 Zone thousand millions) sys-
tematically expended will place the
waterways and connecting canals in
the condition they should be in. In
other words, the lump sum needed for
federal expenditure in rivers and mar
bors and connecting canals is only
what the railroads would have to
spend in two years if they attempted
to keep pace with commercial de-
mandS.
Line of ActicH.
Mr.. Hill does not care particularly
about any point on the east gulf coast,
nor does Mr.. Cannon, nor does the
Lakes-to-the-Guf Waterway Associa-
ton. But Mr.. Hill says waterway de-
velopment is absolutely necessary TO
protect the good reputation of rail-
roads by relieving them of certain
classes of freight, which pay relative
ly small freights and require extensive
and costly equipment. Mr.. Cannon is
very much interested in the attitude
of his party toward a question that IS
agitating the minds of all men who
study transportation matters. The
Lakes to-the-Gulf people, the Atlantic
Deeper Waterway people, and the men
who are building the coastal canals
laong Texas and Louisiana, are very
much interested in completing the link
between the Atlantic ocean and the
1t is this community of interest,
Mississippi river. Boston wants to
compete with Chicago at Pensacola
by barge loads. Chicago wants barges
TO have a route to Pensacola as well
as to New Orleans. 1t means better
rates from Chicago to the gulf.
this interdependence of each or the
waterway projects on the territory OF
other projects, that makes each heIp
the other.
Local interests.
1t is for this reason that the best
chances of each locality lie within the
association advocating the general
project. Neither Morgan nor Taylor
could get an appropriation to connect
Mobile and Pensacola bays. 1t IS not
likely that either St. Andrews or the
Chattahoochee valley could have at
this time secured appropriations to

bylaws. They have not even charged
them to the organization.
On the small revenues shown, the
association in its first seven months of
existence secured an appropriation to
survey from the Mississippi river to
the Atlantic ocean. In the next year,
congress actually ordered the begin
ming of work on one of the sections
surveyed.
Local Liberty of Action.
The scope of the association and
what it stands for are set forth dis
tinctly in the name. The association
leaves to the engineers and to con-
gress details of route in every section.
At the same time, each section is free
to advocate any particular route that
it prefers. 1t is assumed that each
locality can best advise the engineers
as to commercial preference as be-
tween routes in that locality. The en-
gineers and the Pensacola-Mobile Sec
ton being satisfied, the association
cares not whether Perdido bay is con-
nected with Grand Lagoon or Big
Bayou. But it wants Mobile, Perdido
and Pensacola bays connected.
Next Convention Here.
When the association was organ
lZeu, tnere were LWenLy-SeVen persons
present. At the first convention, at
Columbus, Ga, there were between
eighty and ninety visiting delegates.
year later, at Jacksonville, there
were between $50 and 100 visiting
delegates. At Pensacola, this coming
November, the size of the convention
will depend on how much work the
association is able to do in the mean
time.
If 500 visiting delegates attend, and
if Pensacola contributes $4,000 toward
getting them here, it would cost Pen
sacola 81 per delegate to get them
here. Pensacola, as community,
will make money at that rate. AN at
tendance of 500 would give an enor-
nous stimulus to the project The
convention alone is worth to Pensa-
cola all that Pensacola is asked to
contribute, to say nothing of the value
of the movement itself, if successful,
and the excellent outlook for early
success.

The Neatly Dressed Woman.

There is an exquisite charm about
a neatly dressed woman. She does
not wear her hair loose. as if it is just
about to fall on her shoulders. Her
gloves are not ripped at the seams
nor any buttons missing from her
boots. Her veil does not reveal a
hole over the chin, nor does the bind
ing of her skirt show ragged in places.
Not many women show their tidi-
ness in these details, but the well
groomed woman considers that neg
lect in these little things is full OF
shame to womankind: Note the well
dressed tailor built woman. Hell
cloth gown fits her without a crease,
and there is neither speck nor spot on
it. Her linen collar and cuffs are
snowy white. and remain properly
fixed in their places. Her gloves DO
not wrinkls but button smoothly over
her wrists. Her shoes are dainty and
polished. Her bonnet or hat is pinned
on straight, and her hair is neatness

finish and wholesome order. 'Woul1

How to Make and Keep Friends.

Some natures are more capable OF

many acquaintancescan never become
anything else. the balance Of friend

The best way to retain Il friend is
to never interfere in family or bust

or affection to impose on your friends
time or arrangements. Always give

ably as disagreeable to your friend as
his or hers are to YOU. Endure them

Choosing Ones Work.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet. Many, men do
not find their spheres Of greatest use
fulness until middle age, while others
never find them. Education ought
to help one to find his true sphere.
The great difficulty with so many
young people is they show an adapta-
bility to too many things; they be-
come what their fellows or instruc-
tors call versatile. The versatile man
sometimes is the worst handicapped
man. He can do a dozen things fairly
we'll and he spends his time between
them, scattering his fire, instead. OF
concentrating on one object a single
and learning to do that in
the aggregate better than he could do
each of the eleven. The mar who,
with a bent for music, can play half
a dozen instruments, is not nearly so
likely to play as we'll as the man who
becomes expert in the use of but one.
The versatile man is seldom more
than an amateur, being kept out of
the professional class simply because
he has never learned to concentrate
his full powers on one thing. Young
men and women must look out for
these pitfalls. The only talent that
ever accomplishes anything worth
while is that trained along a certain
definite, fixed line.-Omaha Bee.

over the preserves.
Suddenly Lord Arthur, a big, bur.

tolerant laugh.

Antiquity Of Shorthand.

Shorthand is apt to be looked upon
as an essentially modern art. The
predecessors of Pitman. Byron, in the
eighteenth century; Mason, in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which it seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
to his freedman, T. Tullius Trio and
was inconsoIable when temporarily
deprived of his services. He COM
planned in a letter to a friend that
while Trio takes down whole phrases
in a few signs, Spintharus (his pro-
v%isional substituted only writes in syl-
tables" We need not, however, sup
pose that the "notae Tironianae"
were actually invented by the freed
man in question. AS M. Guenin points
out. the Romans created very few of
the arts of peace. c%ontenting them

wide white bands of stitching; others
are stitched with the color. even the

Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, Colonel Roosevelt again showed nS
preference for the motor a in general and the White cars in particular
when he. Cornelius Vanderbilt and Collector Loeb transferred rom their

After uncheon at Mr.. Robinson's house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered the White cars and were driven TO Long

The supremacy of the White cars with the Roosevelt party was again

novelist, was addressing a group of
beautiful girl graduates in New York.

to find out the why and wherefore Of

most of the girl graduates attempts
to discover why's and ~wherefores will

them again, and again reason with
them, and dismiss them as before. IT
they continued obstinate. After
three months more, he should cali
them before him and reason with
them for the last time. If they per-
sisted in spite Of everything, he should
marry them, and let them take the
consequences. But if these conse-
uuences were too dire, I would not
forbid them the hope of relief. I
haven't thought the matter out very
clearly yet, but there are one or two
causes for divorce which I would ad-
