groom Mr.. Carter for manager OF the
campaign Of 1912 (assuming that
Taft is renominated) he could not do
better than to make him postmaster

Mr.. Carter would be brought into
contact with Republican leaders Ia
all parts OF the United States; he
would have the last say as to appoint

Athletes entering a race over a long
course frequently run on the first part
of the course at top speed in order to
take the heart out of their opponents.
Later, If they can hold out the speed
all well and good, if not, they have a
safe lead in which to loaf a little and
catch their breath before the other run
ner comes up.
This is the system some of the con-
testants for The Washington Herald s
tour contest have adopted. Apparently
their motto is: Take the heart out of
the other fellow If you possibly can,
otherwise the chances are they will try

big contests are won In an eleventh hour
finish. A few thousand votes is a mere
bagatelle. They can be won In half days
canvassing. II you have to start late
you can still go up to the lead II you
work hard. Better start late than not
start at all.
There were many subscriptions taken
for six months each along toward the
beginning Of the contest, which are pros

RANSDELL COMES
BACK AT WILLARD
Waterways DO Not IDjure
Railways, He Says.

The warning which President Daniel
Willard, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, gave to the Western governors in
Baltimore Friday night that the next
period of great industrial activity might
find the railroads, because Of lack Of
equipment and new mileage, utterly I'M
able to carry the greatly augmented
burden imposed upon them, is the strong
est possible argument for improving the
waterways OF the United States, in the
opinion OF Representative Joseph E.
RansdelI president Of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress.
THE return of the disastrous condi-
tons of 1867, which seems to me alb
solutely certain If We depend solely on
the railways to carry our freights, is
one of the main reasons why We are
urging the improvement of waterways"
said Mr.. RansdeII before leaving for
Louisiana to take up again his campaign
for nomination to the United States SEN
ate in place of Senator Foster
The fleet of barges on the Ohio and
MISSISSIPPI rivers carry coal from Pitts
burg to New Orleans in quantities and at

powers Of the railways. The DEVELOPMENT
of the country is being hIndered by the
inadequacy of it's transportation facili-
a
speed until our railways are supplement-
ed by great connected system Of water
ways.
Mr.. Willard appeals for a better un-
Outstanding between the railways and
the people. l suggest that one thing that
would help toward this end would be for
railway men to stop their opposition to
the improvement of waterways II there
was any one thing plainly manifest at
the great convention of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress just closed
1t waP growing Impotence on the part
of the business men of the country with
the attitude of railways upon this uues-
ton. Waterways existed before rail-
ways were heard of, and the charters
granted to railways were never meant to
give them monopoly of all transporta-
ton All experience shows that water
ways do not injure railways, but that
they share fully in the prosperity which
create"

ART EXHIBITION
AT CORCORAN GALLERY
Former Senator Clark Again Donates $4,000 to Be
Given in Prize Awards

Announcement has just been made that
former Senator William A. Clark, of
Montana, has again generously offered to
donate the sum of 5000 to be given in
prize awards for paintings to be shown
at the fourth exhibition Of contemporary
American oil paintings, which viii be
held next winter at the Corcoran Gallery
of Art in Washington. These exhibitions
held biennially at the National Capital,
rank as an American salon, and THE
William A. Clark Prizes" are offered by
the donor In open competition to all
American artists.
This is now the third time that Sena-
tor Clark has donated these awards to
be made at the Corcoran exhibitions as
an encouragement and an incentive to
the American artists. The awards are
determined by a jury Of artists The
Corcoran exhibitions usually contain from
800 to 400 paintings selected by the jury
from work submitted. The exact date
for the opening of the exhibition has not

mysterious loss of cash reported by the
banks the previous week was explained
by saying that gold engaged for export
to Canada had been subtracted from the
cash in advance on the same principle
that when a check is certified the certi-
fication is subtracted from the account
against which 1t is drawn.
President TaftS message was favorably
received by the street particularly so by
insiders Of the American Tobacco Com
pany. The Presidents description of the
settlement of the Tobacco case as the
best possible was heartily concurred in
by the Tobacco people.
Company Needs Cash.
Winslow 8. Pierce was made chairman
of the reorganization committee for the
Wabash road, and the Equitable Trust
Company, as trustee of the mortgage, ex-
ercised its privilege of appointing a ma
jority Of the board of directors. The
company is understood to need $4,000, =
900 spot cash. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are
interested in the reorganization plans.
While the most conservative people in
the street look for a further decline In
the stock market, they attach great i'm
portance to the fact that there have
been heavy rains and SHOWS recently
al! over the country. The government
reports n slightly smaller planting of
winter wheat but the dry weather pre-
vented or discouraged farmers from put
ting in their usual acreage. This, how
ever, will be made up with spring wheat
and other crops. and the heavy rains,
if they continue, will within three
months wash out all trace of panic from
business and the stock market. BY that
time the radicals in Congress will have
disclosed their worst intentions and the
conservatives will have had an oDDor-
tunity to show what they can do in the
way of settling the trust problem so as
to encourage the resumption of bust
ness.

New York, Dec. 9-Short coverings
held the market firm to-day causing
some further advances. Dealings were
almost entirely professional. At the
close of the session the steel corpora
ton announced an increase of 447,627
tons in the volume of untitled orders on
its books at the end of November as
compared with the end of October. This
is double what the street expected. The
banks showed a gain of so, $50 in &C
tual surplus at the close of business
Friday night. Deposits are reduced $685.
81, 900 and loans reduced S45, $4,000. Great
Northern Ore certificates and Wabash
were the weak features.
Stocks have been disturbed the past
week by plans for recognizing Wabash
and Allis-ChGlmers. The disturbance
was not caused so much by the impor-
lance OF these reorganizations as by the
fact that they come at a time when
business failures in general are so nu-
merous as to be startling. The Novem-
Der failures are about the worst since
1897. and December failures promise to
be fully as bad both in number of firms
and in the volume of capital.
