The passage of the river
and harbor appropriation
bill at the last session of the
last Congress is another
epochmark in the promotion
of waterway improvement.
1t is an unmistakable recog-
milton of the policy of the
National Rivers and Harbors
Congress that in order to
meet and cope with the ever
present and ever-pressing
need for continuous care for
the navigation of our water
ways, Congress shall make
annual appropriations, and
having once started upon
that policy adhere to it per
manently. While rains fall
and waters flow navigation
will be sensitive to their DO
tentiality and the commerce
of the country will proper
tionately be affected. There
is in this consideration. ac-
cording to the doctrine of the
founders and militant mem
bership, of the Rivers and
Harbors Congress no possible
room for vexing about any
project; for it is the policy
of annual appropriations to
meet the broadest general
need Of navigation which are
never absent and which eX-
perience has demonstrated
beyond preadventure of doubt
has seriously suffered every
time there has been a gap of
a year or more in river and
harbor appropriations.

The fourteen Democrats of
the new Ways and Means
Committee which has been
holding daily sessions since
the adjournment of the last
Congress are finding, besides
the great task of accomplish
ing tariff reform a large and
vexing job in the perform
ance Of their new duties as a
committee on committees,
charged with the selection of
all the committees of the
House. These fourteen Dem
ocrats have not yet decided
what should be done with re-
spect to the manner in which
the Republican minority rep
resentation on the committees
shall be chosen. But for an
apprehension that a majority
of the minority would be dis
posed to practice reprisals
upon the so-called insurgent
element of Republican, the
Democrats, it is said, have
decided to leave the method
OF selection wholly to the Re
publicans, allowing them to
settle their differences in their
own way.
