and automobile have equal rights
and not like the railroad con
trOlled by corporation. OF
course we need ali three modes
of transportation, as they differ
largely in their purpose, each
one is supreme and different.
The distinguishing characteristic
of the roadway may be called
availibility-a cart or a pack
mule can go where railroad is
a commercial, if not an engineer
ing impossibility-and the rail
way can go where no river ex-
lists and a canal would be too
costly. The distinguishing fea.
ture of a railway is speed, while
that of the waterway is economy.
the great business builder. II
is said that a horse, or it's me-
chanical equivalent, u horsepower,
can move two tons at the rate OF
three miles an hour in a wagon
on fairly level road, fifteen tons
in car on a railway and ninety
to one hundred tons in boat OF
proper shape on waterway of
width and depth adapted to its
nse. Taking this for a basis as
a business builder the waterway
surpasseS the railway as far as
railways exceed the highways
whose essential function is the
carrying of small loads over
short distances, that of water
ways heavy loads for any dis
lance and the railway occupies
only an intermediate position.
In exact correspondence with
these physical facts we find that
the estimated cost of wagon
transportation on the average
road in the United States is 20
cents per ton mile, which might
be reduced to 10 cents on a first
class road; the average rate re.
ceived by the railroads is about
8 mills per ton mile and the aver
age charge on goods carried into
and out of Lake Superior about
S-l0ths of one mill and army
engineers say that when work
now under way on the Ohio river
is completed, transportation
thereon can be conducted for
about one-half mill per ton mile.
Search where you will through
out the civilized world and you
will find that the largest cities,
the densest population, the
greatest development of industry
and commerce are to be found
where transportation facilities
are the best, especially water
ways. Supremacy in commerce
is not merely coincident with,
but consequent upon, economy
of transportation.
There are three ways which
lead TO the growth of cities, the
development of the State, the
prosperity of nations; the high
ways, the railways and the water
ways-and the greatest OF all is
the waterway.
Start Commercial Club and
look after your waterway. The
balance will come unsolicited.

At the Casino-VaudeviIIc.

In bringing to Washington this week
the world-famous pItheCanthropoid AL
fred the Great the Casino Theater chal-
lenges the past performances here OF
Consul and Peter, the educated monkeys,
which have been seen in town on several
occasions.
Alfred is advertised to perform the
regular routine that is followed by all
Of the well-knOwn monkey humans and
then some. The some" portion Of the
act promises TO be the most entertain
ing, for Alfred has up his sleeve a num-
Der OF stunts that are said to be abso-
lutely without parallel. While he rides
all manner OF bicycles. he performs on a
high stilt cycle. a feat that no other
ape-man or educated monkey has under
taken. He roller skates in a fashion that
is distinctly original.
While in Washington Alfred will live
at leading hotel and will have an auto
mobile at his disposal all week He will
dine in all Of the leading cafes, will visit
the public schools. will give several re-
ceptions. and will behave in every respect
like the man he tries to be.
Supporting the pitheCanthropoid will be
an array of hgh-Class vaudeville fea-
tures that will make up another bill OF
Casino standard. All RipOn, the Scotch
ventriloquist is going to be a riot for
fun. His comedy is eXcruciatingly funny.

aCter Cf the Passer-by, as portrayed by
Forbes Robertson, is symboliCal.
The first act Characterizes the cast as

daughter hussy, her lover a coward,
with a snob. a satyr, rogue. and a cad.

out to the fullest extent Of their ma

and insight could effectively embody the
