The Rivers and Harbor3 appropri-
ton Bill caring a total of $27,s26.00
has passed both the House and Sen
ate. Although several Senators at
tackled the Bill as pork barrel leg
islation, it was ably defended by Sen
ator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida,
Chairman of the Commerce Com
mittee of the Senate. The Bill passed
after four deys of debate most of the
time being occupied by opponents or
the measure. Numerous amendments
introduced principally by opponents
to the Bill in an effort to limit its
provisions were rejected The bill
provides for the necessary mairten-
ance and improvement of Rivers and
Harbors for the period ending June
80, 1918,
In the course of one OF his speeches
| defending the Bill, Senator Fletcher
said: at must be recognized that
the people of this country rightfully
insist on the improvement by the
Government Of the navigable waters
and harbors over which the Govern
ment has jurisdiction and exercises
control, as instrumentalities of com
merce. This has been our policy fol
a century. 1t is the policy of every
great country. Even now, in the mids
of the most distressing war of al
history, Germany and France con
tinue the work on their waterways
When there is an appalling car short
age, when the very necessities canno
be moved to the markets as needed
when railroads are inadequate t
transport the freights rendered t
them, when there is insistent deman
for the utilization of every availahl
means of transportation IN order tina

producers and consumers may be
served, when ships areneeded and
being sought to carry our products
across the sea and bring to US those
we require from the other lands, we
cannot afford to abandon our water
ways and our harbors. 1t would be
difficult to conceive a course that
would lead to greater injury to the
country and more serious irconven-
ience and harm to thepeople general
~. That is putting it purely on the
commercial feature and saying moth
ing of the necessity for these projects
in this Bill as Military needs and as
National Defence measures"
Referring to the charge that the
Bill was "pork barrel legislation
Senator Fletcher said: "The public
hac been misled by the slander which
certain scribblers started by the term
pork barrel" L. connection with
Rivers and Harbors Legislation,
| Public Building Bills, and the like.
1t was catchy and sensational and
came into such extended use that it
has had the effect of poisoning the
public mind to some extent, and
created a prejudice agaist Bill, the
/ sole purpose of which is to confer the
greatest benefit to the largest num-
Der of citizens. l will not dwell on
that kind of criticism of this Bill
| have neither the time nor patience"
Appropriations carried in the Bill
for maintenance of Florida Projects
already completed amount to
$5O5, 10000; and for continuance Of
Improvement of Florida projects now
in the course of construction $478
00000; and the removal of watel
hyacinth in navigable waters of Flor
: ida $10,000.00.
At the regular session of ongres!
which convenes next December, there
will doubtless be introduced a River
and Harbors Bill having for its OBJ
ject the maintenance, continued i'm
provement and development of othe
projects recommended by the Water
ways Commission.

GUNDERSCHE|MER
OFF To BUY STOCK

Leon Gunderscheimer, general man
ager of the NJ. & o. Clothing Store.
is leaving today for New York and
other Eastern markets. Mr.. Gunder-
scheimer goes to make purchases for
their fall and winter trade and will
be absent from the city about one
month. Due to greatly increased bust
ness for the past year, it was neces-
sary for the Gunderscheimers to in
crease their floor space, having leased
and remodeled the store adjoining the
one they already have, which calls
for larger and greater variety OF
stocks, hence the length of time ir
making selections is greater thar
heretofore.

cord the death Of David, the tcn-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. P. w. G..
Adams, who died on December 18th.
David was a bright and lovely boy.
1t is sad to remember that he is gone

it was the will of our good Lord, and
He knows best. We cannot be with
him any more on earth but we should
bear in mind that we have the privi-

God truly works in mysterious
way, his wonders to perform.
To all the bereaved family we ex-
tend our sincerest sympathy.
