to the conclusion that some policy must
be adopted with reference to the devel-
opment of those instrumentalities which
nature has furnished for the transporta-
ton of goods and for controlling the
railroad rates"
In this particular vicinity Baltimore and,
in less degree, Washington are greatly
interested in the Atlantic inner water
way project During Mr.. Roosevelt's ad-
ministration Congress authorized a sur-
vey to determine the most practicable
route for a ship canal connecting the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays, and the
recommendations of a committee ap-
pointed for that purpose were laid be-
fore the last Congress. The next session
of that body will be furnished with in
formation and presentations of the most
feasible routes for a waterway along
the Atlantic coast, and the Richmond
meeting has the assurance that the East
ern inner route is progressing toward
practical realization.

Automobiling in a New Light.

1t is pleasant to note that the partici-
pants in the GIidden tour are receiving
a most cordial welcome in their trip
through Virginia. At Staunton they
were the recipients of military demon
stration, while the inhabitants of the
city accorded them a formal reception.
As they proceeded farther South they
were showered with flowers by chill
dren perched upon the roadside fences,
while printed signs extended greeting.
At Roanoke many social functions were
on the programme.
These facts are stated because they
throw a new light upon automobiling,
The Glidden tourists include nearly 200
persons, who represent many States,
and who are on a pleasure journey
through the South to Florida. The de-
lightful incidents of their trip create a
most pleasant impression, and they are
sure to carry away with them a vivid
memory of Virginia hospitality. The
people of the State, on the other hand,
do wisely in gaining the good will OF
visitors to the Commonwealth. Their
conduct is not only properly hospitable,
but it is a good business proposition,
because the participants in the tour are
persons whose friendship has a prac-
teal value, even from the point of view
of dollars and cents.
With the increased use OF automo-
biles the prejudice that formerly existed
against the appearance of the machines
upon the public highways has passed
away. The motor car tourist is now a
valuable asset in any country possessed
of good roads, picturesque scenery, and
attractive hotels. In the case of the
GIidden tour it is quite evident that
this is a fully appreciated fact

To Avert a Suit,

The determination OF the United
States Steel Corporation to cancel its
Great Northern lease of ore properties,
and its decision to reduce the freight
rates upon its ore-carrying roads can
have only one meaning. The corpora
ton is desirous to avoid being brought
into court by the agents of the govern
ment for violating the Sherman anti
trust law.
The investigation by the Bureau Of
Corporations into the operations of the
steel trust criticised the two features
which the trust is now anxious to
abolish. 1t is apparent, therefore, that
if the trust voluntarily removes the
only factors which are thought to be
illegal, it will avert threatened litiga-
ton. In taking this action it will save
itself the expense of long and costly
experience with the courts, and will also
protect its securities against the depress-
ing effect which would be certain to
accompany Federal prosecution.
There has been no great public out
cry against the holding of the ore lands,
and it is by no means certain that the
government would win its case. The
investments of the steel corporation.
however, are so extensive, and its prod
uct is such an important factor in the
development of the country, that it has
acted wisely in endeavoring to keep
values from being unsettled by comply
ing with every suggestion that will bring
it fully within the most literal interpre-
tation of the law.

The Inland Waterway.

The particular object that the Atlantic
Deep Waterways Association, now in
session at Richmond, is endeavoring to
promote is the linking of the inland
waterways from Boston to Galveston,
along the Atlantic coast.
Were it necessary to build ship canals
to establish a land-locked waterway of
some 5000 miles, the cost would be
almost a billion dollars. 1t is fortu-
nate, however. that at least 80 to 90 per
cent of such a route has been provided
by nature, and where canals would have
10 be cut through dry land, low and
level territory exists. It is contended
hat the projected inner navigation route
would entail less cost upon the Federal
government than the advocated project
for developing the Mississippi Riyer and
It's tributaries, while the commerce that
will be affected by the inner Atlantic
coast way is said to be double that
which would be drained by a river sys-
tenn in the Middle West
I Mr.. Taft has been outspoken in ad-
vocacy of policy of developing inner
navigation routes. He said at the OPEN
ing of the National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress that Representatives in
Congress recognize it as a subject that
calls for action, and that they have come

Municipal Ownership.

The long step forward which the Dis
trict Commissioners have taken toward
municipal ownership by recommending
city asphalt and garbage reduction plants
has evidently inspired the Federation Of
Citizens Associations to activity along
the same line. At the meeting which is
to be held Saturday night proposition
for the municipal ownership of one OF
the public utilities is to be considered.
The federation is not, of course, the
last word in the matter. No radical
change, such as is contemplated, can
take effect without legislation by Con-
gress, and it is certain that no law will
be passed until there has been a thor
ough investigation. 1t must not be for
gotten that municipal ownership of pub
lie utilities has not been everywhere an
unmixed blessing or an unqualified sue
cess.
While there is a tendency in all mu-
inequalities toward larger control of pub
lie utilities, experience has demonstrated
that much OF the dissatisfaction with pri-
vate ownership can reasonably be eN-
pected TO be obviated by the creation Of
public utilities commissions. The best
thought at the present day in these mat
tiers tends to determine upon private
ownership and operation under the regu-
the ideal condition for all concerned.

The Los Angeles Jury.

The great care taken in the court at
Los Angeles to secure an unbiased jury
for the Mcnamara trial is not misplaced.
1t is of the highest public Importance
that the jury not only shall be absolutely
impartial, but that it shall be so ac-
knowledged by everybody-that is, so
far as the inner workings of the human
mind can be made manifest in advance.
The jury system is not discredited
or endangered because, up to the pres
ent time, it has been impossible to find
in Los Angeles twelve men who admit
that they can approach with unbiased
minds the question of the guilt or inno-
cence of the accused. AS a matter of
fact, it is not surprising that in a case
which has received so much publicity
and discussion a vast majority of the
members of an intelligent community
should have formed an opinion upon the
accounts which have been published.
There will, therefore, be some difficulty
in securing the panel Nevertheless, any
expenditure of time and money is worth
while which results in assembling jury
against which no accusation of prejudice
can in any way be sustained.

CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY.

WASHINGTON A WEALTHY
MAN

Gen. washington would accept
no pay for his services in the
Revolutionary war. This was
very noble OF him, yet It was
not as much of a sacrifice for him
as it would have been for his
fellow officers. He was a very
wealthy man for his day. His
will. dated July .. 1893. was ac-
companied by a schedule of his
property, with valuations IN de-
tail, all prepared by his own
hand. According to this sched-
ule he was the owner Of more
than 10000 acres OF land IN va
rious parts of the country, be-
sides numerous city and town
lots. considerable personal prop
erty and some hank stock. OF
course. much of the land was not
very valuable at the time, yet
according to his estimate his es-
tate was worth $53O,OOO. This
probably was considerably below
its real value. He came near be-
ing a Notwithstanding rare
in those days.
