this benefit will be small in COMPARE
son to the effect on the commerce of
the entire country, resulting from
standardizing the waterways by con-
Meeting them. Hence the initial cost
should not only be considered from a
local standpoint, but also from its re-

Cost of the Canal.
In order that we may view the Flor
ida canal project with its relationship
to the national transportation bust
ness let US consider in part, the mag
nitude of that business.
The per capita contributions to the
revenues of the United States govern
ment, from 1894 to 1908, were from
IS to $10-to the United States rail-
ways, SIC to $50. For this period, the
total receipts Of the government were

370,590.
The cost of rail transportation on
the United States railways in 1867
was $2,s75, sss,52o.
The cost of water transportation in
1906 was about $3.50, 000, 900, including
inland and coastwise and excluding

LELAND J. HENDERSON MAKES
IMPRESSIVE SHOWING BEFORE
BOARD or ARMY ENGINEERS
AT JAcKsoNVILLE-IT is THE
ESSENTIAL LINK.

One Of the interesting visitors to
Jacksonville yesterday was Leland J..
Henderson of Apalachicola, secretary
of the Mississippi-to-Atla Inland
Waterways Association, Of which
United States Senator Fletcher is pres
ident, says the Jacksonville Times
Mr.. Henderson came to the city in
company with other prominent Florid-
ians to boost for the Florida ship
canal, which was under final consid-
GRAFTON by the board Of engineers OF
the war department. He was one of
the speakers before the board in the
forenoon and delivered a thoughtful
plea for the construction Of the water
way.
1t is Mr.. Henderson's idea that upon
the completion Of the Panama canal
the machinery which is still service
able and the main canal organization
could be transferred to Florida and
begin at once cutting the cross state
canal. He believes that the complies
ton of the project would be obtained
much quicker in this way
More than thousand delegates have
been appointed Off the annual con-
vention of the Mississippi to- Atlantic
Inland Waterways convention at
Montgomery, November 1922, and
Secretary Henderson thinks that be-
tween ESQ and 500 will attend. the
sessions of the convention will be held
in the auditorium of the Exchange
hotel. Among the prominent speakers
who will be present are Herbert Knox
Smith, commissioner of navigation of
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor; Joe Chappell, editor Of the Ma
tional Magazine; Lieut. Col Lansing
H. Beach and John Howe Peyton. as
sistant to the president of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad; Mayor
Goodwin of Montgomery, and Gov
O'Neal Of Alabama. Senator Fletcher
who is engaged in the Lorimer inves-
tigation at Chicago at this time, will
provide over the convention.

that He was the one man. of the times
who was able to diagnose the situation
and that He foresaw more clearly than
anyone else just what was going to
happen in the future. He presents the
aristocracy Of those times in a ques-
tionable light, leaving the inference
that it has not changed much in mod
ern times. He says the Roman En-
pire was the welding together into a
gigantic federation of the wealth and
society Of the times. for the oppres-
sion Of the poor and the taxation Of
those of the middle classes who would
stand for it.
Christ, he says, was not the humble
lamb like man He is so often pictured,
but a big personality and a fighter Of
great sagacity and power. Physically
He was not a robust man. Mr.. White
argues, drawing this conclusion from
the fact that He was on the cross only
six hours, a punishment which scarce
ly would have been sufficient to kill a
robust man. He declares Christ was
not crucified by the Hebrews alone
He contends that the Hebrews as a
race loved Christ and adored Him as
leader. It was only the aristocrats
whose oppression of the poor had
brought them into the limelight of the
day, had sought His life.
Caiaphas and Annas, the high
priests, represented capital, he says
Herod. the king Of the Jews. was only
half Hebrew, while Plate, the official
representative of the Roman Empire
and the man who could haved saved
Christ, was a Roman citizen. Mathe-
matically he declares Christ's cruel
fiers were f1ve-eights Hebrews and
three eighths Romans or Gentiles

gigantic sum of $4,000, 600, 900 ex-
pended for the railroads?
The people were and are not mig

roads. According to ]. Hill, they pay
interest on $4,000, o0o,o 900 the value
Of one-half Of the railroad mileage
In the world.
In addition, the people have given
over 100000, 900 acres of land to the
railroads. and the country has f1oated
$1,000, 0o0,oo In bonds and issued
1000, ooo, 900 stock to build the rail-
roads.
Transportation is Of greater impor-
lance to the people. than tariff as a
means Of revenue to the government,
for during the years 1894 to 1908, the
revenues of the government, from all
sources, city, country, state and ma
tfonal, were about $4,000, 900, 900; the
gross earnings and increase of the rail-
ways alone was over $3.50 ,000, 0o0
Therefore, whatever tends to reduce
cost Of transportation, affects the most
important problem Of the country.
The value Of the lands given to the
railroads to encourage the develop
ment Of transportation and the coun-
try, at SO per acre, amounted to
81, o0o, 0oo, geo, paid by the people. and

immaculate conception he describes
as nothing more than a determination
on the part of Mary, when she saw
the drift of the times and the grow

the lower classes. With this in mind
she instilled into him from the day OF
his birth the principle of the brother

The fact that Christ preached only
three years, he declares, is the best
proof of the great personality OF the
man. In that short time His doc

that day. Christ knew, he said, that
He was a marked man, just as manv

flashing OF Omcial whip.

One of the two or three mouth
pieces of West virginia's Democratic
United States senator is laying the
lash on some of the Democratic edi-
tors of this state without mercy and
with vengeance indicative Of the
anger that ranks in the senatorial
bosom. The pIolic may now expect
theg Internal war Of the party toi6e
waged with a ferceness that will
soon destroy the last yestige Of the
Democratic party in the state.
1t is the privilege OF the Telegram
to give its readers few samples of
the lashings that one OF the official
newspaper whips is laying on as fol-
lows:
There are few Democratic edi-
tors Of country newspapers who are
dissatisfied with the men whom the
Democratic members of the legisla-
ture elected to the United States
Senate. This was not unexpected.
The Democratic party in West vir-
GINA is unhappily SO constituted
that it has in 1t several men whose
views are so Independent that they
are usually dissatisfied III they can't
have their own way about all party
men and party measures. These
men are not the strength, but
rather the weakness of the party,
Because In the conceit Of the infalli-
billy Of their own judgment they per-
petually SOW disco-d where harmony
should prevail. AS rule they are
not efficient party workers even
where everybody agrees to let them
nave their own way. They contrib
ute nothing but a grow or a whine
whatever may Ibe the policy or who
ever may he the leaders of the party
in any given campaign. 1t was not
therefore to be expected that they
would be satisfied with the work Of
the legislature" q"
These pharisaical country editors
know much better than these men
what they ought to have done and
do not hesitate to impeach their in
tegrity and honor because they did
not accept their candidates for the
United States Senate. They let the
Republican press discover a mares
nest for them, and then roll it as a
sweet morsel under their tongues
to embarrass as far as they can
their party organization and dis
credit as far as they can the duly
elected party leaders. We do not
believe that these men are capable
of doing any harm except to them
selves. ! vs. G5Rt
