WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-People
who believe that the river and harbor
pork barrel has been permanently
smashed are due for an awakening.
II may be predicted almost certainly
that the coming short session OF con-
gress which convenes In December
will see q pork barrel struggle which
will completely oyershadow the Tight
waged at the present session.
The pork barrel people suffered q
severe reverse. but they are by no
means conquered. The lobby known
as the national rivers and harbors
congress already has planned spe-
cial meeting In Washington In Decem-
Der. After the passage OF the emer-
gency revenue legislation. II will be
plausibly urged In congress and out
that the treasury having been put on
a firm footing. there Ia no reason why
the usual and regular appropria-
tons shall not be made for rivers and
harbors.
However. the opponents OF the pork
barrel principle are prepared to meet
the grabbers with constructive propo-
sails for change In the whole system.
Rep. Frear, Of Wisconsin. who made
the fight In the house, has such pro-
posal. II 10 simple, and strongly re-
sembles the more elaborate plan con
tanned In what Is known as the New
lands river regulation bill. The Frear
plan Ia to create strong advisory
board OF high-class engineers and ex-
perts. including army engineers. civil
engineers and the members Of the
cabinet whose dutiss bring them more
particularly In touch with the water
way problem. This board is to be APP
pointed by the president and to have
general supervision OF all waterway
matters. including not only the navi-
cation question. but allied questions
of irrigation. conservation and water
power development.
"A board OF this character" says
Mr.. Frear, would be opposed by this

affiliated associations. because the use

congress has not been directed toward

toward the accumulation of an annual

ed up to the people would do IT, First
the emergency war tax. That was and
In unnecessary. The 31o60o0, 900 de
crease In duty receipts, on true Do
mocracy theory, should have been met
by decrease Of expenses. The Dem
ocrats were elected to take on not to
put on taxes. Second, the elision Of
the personal prison penalty from the
Clayton antitrust law. Guilt r. per
sonal," said the Democratic platform.
That didn't mean simply . fne for
offenders. But the Republicans don't
make any use Of these facts. Neither
do they point out the failure Of the
emergency currency to help any part
Of the country except the bankers Of
the east. That currency has particu.
larry failed to help the south. Nothing
will save the Democratic party but the
Of President Wilson. That
popularity 10 due to the fact that he
saved the country from plunging into
q war with. or over, Mexico. This will
keep many people from voting to pun
ish the Democrats for hard times. But
the one big fact that stands out prom
inently In the practical political situa-
ton IL that the Republicans have no
leaders, no policy, no organization.
They are a. much Of q chaos - the

utterly demoralized. It u impossible

The Vets Are Not For ''Pat"

Mr.. Pattengill may not make an
awfully large ripple on the political
sea Of Michigan, but this much is
sure. he win have the pleasure Of
knowing that none Of the liquor deal
er's organizations are endorsing him
or voting for him. There are worse
things than being defeated with that
record staring him In the face.
The temperance folks a. usual. will
vote again from present indications
for the same men the vets are sup
porting. The vets know what they
are doing every minute while the
drys do what their political leaders
tell them to do.
That IL why Michigan continues
under the domination OF the liquor
power. That Ii why each recurring
campaign the people try to reform
the state again. evidently not yet
realizing that there can be no reform
so long as the liquor power domi-
mates. as II does now and always has
done.

ON THE JOURNEY OF LIFE
Progress May Well Be Compared With
That Of Man Who Sets Out for
Days Walk.

Human life is the journey of a
day; we rise in the morning of youth,
full of vigor and full of expectation !;
we set forward with spirit and hope,
with gayety and and with diligence,
and travel on a while in the road of
piety toward the mansions of rest.
In a short time we remit our fer
vor and endeavor to find some more
easy means of obtaining the same
end. We then relax our vigor and
enter the bowers of ease and repose
in the shades of obscurity. Here the
heart softens and vigilance subsidies !;
we then turn our eyes upon the gar
dens of pleasure; we enter them,
hoping to pass through them with
out losing the road of virtue, which
we for while keep in sight, and
to which we propose to return.
By degrees we let fall the remem-
brance of our original intention; we
entangle ourselves in business, i'm
merse ourselves in luxury and rove
through the labyrinths of inconsis-
tency till the dizziness of old age in
vades us and disease and anxiety OBJ
struct our path.--Exchange.
