Queror of the terrors of the land OF
the midnight sun.
After Il brief Introductory state

step by step the trip 10 the pole, the
instrumenialities used in making the
journey. the men who helped him. the

of transportation should cause the
poor of the city to go lacking for
proper food when the grower had
products decaying in the field for lack
or economical methods OF marketing
his product. He declared. amid great
applause, that this question of af-
fording more economical transpor-
tation was worthy the attention of
the highest craftsmanship, and made
a plea for the project from a hui
manitarian standpoint Mr.. Cattell
was given, most liberal applause as
he took his seat.
One of the most interesting features
of the morning session was paper
by Commodore J. w. Miller on The
Progress of the Cape Cod Canal"
vice-president of the Cape Cod Con-
struction Company. Commodore Mil
Ter was an officer OF one of the early
Panama surveys and referred In glow
ing terms to the quiet man who does
things at the head of the work, Col
onel Goethals. Commodore Miller told
of the need of the Cape Cod Canal.
which. he said, had been recognized
by President Washington and earnest
~ advocated by him. He said the
canal would be completed in 1913. lie
explained that one reason which is
ciates in putting their money into the
canal is, frankly, because they know
1t will pay. Twenty-Five millions of
annual tonnage are to-day subject to
the storms and danger of the Cape
Cod route. eleven millions tons of
which is Virginia coal. Mr.. Miller
explained that the new cana! will
save seventy miles between the Ches-
apeake and Boston. beside doing away
with the risk of Cape Cod navigation.
which has claimed over 5000 ships
and a thousand lives the past half
century. Commodore Miller is an en-
thusastic waterway man and his talk
teemed with practical information,
being as the presiding officer said,
full of meat although all water"
The credentials committee then
made its report. stating that there
/ had Seen registered 5s4 delegates,
/ besides which theer We're some local
delegates who had failed TO register.
] In addition to the delegates there
were about $50 ladies in attendance
upon the convention. The commit
tee reported that the attendance
showed a gratifying increase over the
4 convention held last year in Provi-
dence.

of which Or. Hiram Burton. Of Della

In our great transportation system
without efficient railroads and i'm
proved highways. The improvement
of our wagon roads, railroads and
waterways should, therefore, move
forward together"
The present bad condition OF our
public roads and the neglected de-
velopment of our inland waterways are
an economic misfortune. We have
about 100000 miles OF railroads in the
United States, while we have only
$4,000 miles Of improved wagon roads.
and 1t is estimated that we have be-
tween $1,000 and 10000 miles of water
ways. of which only about one half is
now naWgable. In other words, we
have only seven-tenths of mile of
improved wagon road for each mile
OF railroad, and ABOUT six miles of
improved road for every mile of navi-
gable waterway"
Mr.. Page submitted interesting sta
tistics showing that reduction In the
cost Of handling freight could not be
expected from the railroads of the
country, but that the people must turn
to improving their highways and
waterways. He advanced the opinion
that improved roads would save the
country four hundred millions of dol
he 81, u,in -. s.a,, 81 l., - .,
six years we would save enough on
the cost of hauling alone to improve
twenty per cent. of all the roads in
the United States at the rate of $1,000
per mile"

II. y. Wheeler, editor of the Quincy
journal, prints in his paper the fol-
lowing pen picture of Roger Sullivan
OF Chicago, democratic national com
mitteeman from Illinois, Mr. Wheeler
having been prompted TO write his
story by the recent meeting Of Hearst
Harrison democrats at Springfield. a
gathering called for the purpose of de-
committeeman:
Reader, wouldn't you rather know
the truth about Roger Sullivan than a
lot Of foolish falsehoods concerning
him? Wouldn't you rather have a true
picture Of the man than coarse carl
cature of him? Wouldn't YOU rather
know him as he is, than as he isn't?
OF course you would. The truth. at
last, is what all fair men wish. Well,
then, read on.
To begin with. Roger Sullivan is the
head Of an interesting family. He has
a wife and five children; and his
meanest enemy has never intimated
that he is not a true husband and
good father Doesn't this count for
something? | think IL does, Don't you?
Mrs. Sullivan looks TO me like a
good and true. wholesome and mother
~ woman. a woman that has
brought forth five children. and ten
DERBY mothered them along well into
life, has done something for the
world, hasn't she? | think she has.
Don't you? And this American mother
and her children are entitled 70
some consideration. even at the hands
CT selfish politicians. Don't YOU think
So ! do. Even the wolves would uesi-
itate 70 attacE such a mother and her
brood. Are humans worse than wolves?
Roger Sullivan, in all the private af-
fairs OF life, stands fOur-square 20 all
the world The tongue of SANDER
has never touched his private life
