RIVER TRANSPORTATION

W c. Tiffany is the American Review of
Reviews.
The antiquated and expensive methods
of loading freight at our inland ports are
to give place to the labor saving devices
in use on European rivers.
There municipalities and private cor
porations have built modern terminals at
the river towns and cities, equipped with
every device for expediting and cheapen-
ing the handling of freight. Such ter
minals are now maintained at New Or
leans, where the handling charges approx
innate Is cents a ton, and, being publicly
owned, they invite competition in river
traffic. At Davenport, Rock Island, Bur-
ington, Muscatine, and other Mississippi
river ports such terminals are now prac-
tically assured and will also undoubtedly
be established at Minneapolis. The old
style Mississippi river steamboat will be
discarded and the freight carried as on
continental waterways, in fleets of barges,
of about 1900 tons burden each, propelled
by power boat.
In few years. therefore, it is not i'm
probable that part of the commerce of the
Great Lakes will be diverted to a new
channel and that the upper Mississippi,
now only occasionally Travelled by some
old side-wheeler will be alive with mod
ern transports bearing the wheat of the
prairies and the products OF the mills to
the south and the coal of Illinois to the
Twin Cities

PEAS AND THE PARCEL POST

II the peas on the other hand are in
tended for the concoction of pea soup, the
postage will be IA cents. If the peas are
sent to a friend nearly thousand mics
away, the postage will still be 80 cents
for the peas to be planted, but " cents for
the peas to be eaten. If the peas are
sent from coast to coast, the postage on
the to-be-planted peas will still be 50
cents; the postage on the to-be-made-into-
soup peas will be s1.20
If the sender does not know What his
friend intends to use the peas for, a very
pretty problem will present itself to the
posman and the farmer. IL the farmer
is shrewd and knows the fntricac:es uf
the law he will probably assume that his
friend near by prefers soup now to the
green reas which he may expect from The
vines next summer If the peas are plant
ed. What would happen IL the peas, hav-
ing been mailed at the to-be-eaten rate,
were diverted by the changeabe recipient
TO planting purposes? one may imagine
a- suspicious postoffice inspector. with
furtive step and melodrnmatic disguise,
spying upon the innocent citizen. who
had thought in March that he wanted pea
soup, as he blithely drops the once-to-he-
eaten-now-to- be-planted peas into the furs
row.

WHERE pERGsoN STANDS

Charles Johnston, in Harper WeeNS'
Bergson holds and proves that pure
memory is immaterial, that it is not IN
the brain, though it Yorks through the
brain. and that the whole sum of our
memories persists and is preserved
Practical life brings to the front oil our
consciousness only those memories whlch
bear on our present actions and heip 10
illumine them by bringing up pictures Oh
similar past actions with their results
But all other memories are equally per-
sstent, though not within the fieid oil
our present consciousness. From birth,
or, rather, from the moment when we
come to consciousness, they accumulate
and persist until the moment of death;
often evoked wholesale at a moment OF
imminent death, as in cases of partial
drowning or dangerous accidents. The
sum total of memories thus persists en-
tire until death-and probably beyond
death. Bergson adds.
What, then, Is spirit. and whence?
What is its relation to matter. to which
in every characteristic it is opposed? In
general. IL we find two things thus OPP
posed at every point, says Bergson, we
discover that they are not really Isolated
from each other, but that both proceed
from some third thing which has split
itself in two in order to realize two con-
trary possibilities. Spirit and matter,
then, in all likelihood both issue from
one source which we may call God; the
source from which new worlds burst
FORTH which we see us nebulae, gradu-
ally gathering themselves INTO suns In
all these worlds, we may believe, the
drama of life is being played; in all of
them spirit and matter, under whatever
forms. are meeting each other like two
opposing streams; the one, spirit, surg
ing forward the other, matter, flowing
downward

THE TIPS OF THE WORLD

There is an abundance of animal life
in the most northerly polar lands--rein-
deer, polar bear, musk OK, fox, wolf, hare
and land birds; also there are brilliant
flowers.
On the Antarctic continent there Is no
animal or vegetable life, except on the,
fringe where the seal and few species
of sea birds come.
Human life is found 200 miles from thet
north pole. The nearest human life is
2000 miles from the south pole.
Hundreds of men and numerous ships
have been lost in the effort to reach the
north pole. Only one ship and fewer
than dozen men have been lost in south
polar explorations.
Efforts to reach the north pole begsn
400 years ago The first exploration to the
south was only 40 years age.
The discovery of the north pole hap
pened to lead directly TO the discovery of
the south pole Captain Amundsen was
raising money for an Arctic expedition
when news of Peary's discovery of the
pole was received 1t became nearly inl-
possible to raise more funds for northern
exploration at that time So Amrndson
switched to the south pole and reached
his goal.

The States Scandal

The net loss to the state of Alabama
by the defalcation in the convict de-
partment will amount to very little,
perhaps. Governor O'Neal has issued
statement in which he says that the
state will not lose a nickel. He
points out that "every bank in which
the money of the state was deposited
is, under the law, responsible
But whether the loss to Alabama
turns out to be large or small, or, as
the governor believes, nothing what
ever, Alabama has been greatly
scandalzed, and public opinion will
grow stronger and more pronounced
in favor of changing our convict sys-
tenn so as to keep the convicts out of
the mines and employ them on the
public roads.
Governor O'Neal, in taking personal
charge of the investigation of the
convict department and everything
pertaining directly or indirectly to the
situation, has been most vigorous. He
will see to it that every person or in
stitution in any wise responsible for
making Clerk Lacy's defalcation possi-
bic makes good to the state any
and all thefts or shortages, or
suffer the consequences. The gov
ernor has made it plain that he will
spare no one. His reputation is at
stake and no matter how much he
may have been criticised by his
political opponents or his personal
enemies in the past, no one can say
that he has not been absolutely out
spoken and fearless in all his official
acts. The governor is to be com
mended, indeed, for his stern and
business-like course in handling this
ugly matter now uppermost in the
public mind.
The convict department scandal will
be painful memory, but the lesson
of it will not be lost. 1t will result
in the end in more safeguards, more
checks and balances, and in a greater
degree of vigilance on the part of the
officials of the state than has been
known in recent years. And it will
ultimately cause the employment of
the convicts where they properly be-
long-on the highways.

Uncle Sam Needs a Budget

A carefully considered and wisely
planned budget is what the country
needs. said President Wilson IN a let
ter to Senator Tillman. and the extra
session will probably be asked to con-
slider this subject.
Unless this be done there Will be
no central power in the House to keep
receipts and expenditures together.
Some central control over approprla-
ton bills is needed. The Taft plan
may be altogether Objectionable, but
other plans can be selected, for nearly
every other country has budget, and
surely the budget in some of them
would be found free from objections.
The economy commission of the
House will be assembled as soon as
the tariff bill has passed the House,
and then efforts will be made to de-
wise budget plan under which ap-
preparations can be made next win
ter.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee in the House thinks that
all appropriation bills should be sent
his committee, but there are those
who do not agree with Chairman Fitz-
gerald. The latter want special
budget committee comprising the
chairmen of the various committees
that now report appropriation bills.
The subject is one that calls for
deep study in other countries, and the
selection of a plan that will prove
salutary and efficient. This country
should have had budget from the

WYE have the parcel post now and
w We shall never be r,'heu. it
w Already questions are beginning
to raise their heads. For instance, why
should package of blank books weigh
ing four pounds be carried for from to
30 cents within a distance of thousand
miles. while a four pound package of
printed books costs % cents for carriage
regardless of the distance? Why should
the postoffce be able to carry II pounds
of blank books and only four pounds of
printed books? Why should a dozen eggs
go at one rate and book on "IIow to
Make Hens Lay at another? Why
should cook book and a cooking spoon
be treated differently In the assessment
of postage? The parcels containing them
receive exactly the same treatment in
postoffce, mail car, mail wagon and car
rier's bag. As a matter-of fact, a book
is easier to handle tnan, say, pitch
fork.
The distinction between a garden book
and garden tool is curious enough But
a distinction even more fine spun is ~
be found in our postal laws
Let us suppose that farmer. living on
a rural free delivery route wants to send
10 pounds of dried peas by mail to a
friend living in the town from which the
route starts. If the peas are intended
for planting in his friends garden, he
will pay so cents postage on the parcel
