HARVESTING THE RIVERS.

Slowly the United States is making
headway in the movement to put its
inland waterways to better use.
Tho enlarged Erie canal was open
ed for service on May 5. The same
agency of the federal government that
is in control OF the railroads is to OPP
crate boats ON the Erie canal. Such
old barges as were ayailable--about
400 in number-were commandeered
and the construction of new barges
has been undertaken.
A few days ago Charles A. Prouty
OF the division OF public service of the
national railroad administration made
a report to the director general of
railroads. Mn MeAdoo, in which he
recommended TIE construction oil
barges for Mississippi river use and
their operation by the government as
a part OF the transportation system
directed by Air McAdoo.
Presumably the barges would also
be operated on connecting channels
In that event they might be brought
TO Chicago by way OF the Hennepiu
canal and the Chicago drainage canal
The federal government is now en-
gagged in dredging the Illinois and
Michigan canal, purely as a tempo
rary expedient, so as to restore the
old depth OF six feet in that channel.
The work of Harvesting the rivers
of the nation already has been delayed
too long. 1t is we'll that the govern
ment is moving at last to utilize its
inland waterways as a means of re-
lieving traffic congestion on the rail
roads. The developments in this inn
portant field should be OF permanent
benefit.

WALT WHITMAN

Once while / was active in the manage
ment of the Penn Club in Philadelphia
an institution at the corner of Eighth and
Locust streets. started by my friend Whar.
ton Barker. and which has entertained
many distinguished persons, we concluded
to give reception to the good gray poet"
The gentlemen of the city were there,
all in their evening dress. Whitman came
over from Camden in a rough gray suit
intended for the street and considerably
the worse for wear This was permissible
II due to necessity or even to his own con.
venience. A largeframed, muscular man.
he wore a long. heavy beard and gave the
indication of Drawn and muscle. Before
coming he had industriously inserted forty
or fifty pins in the lapel of his coat and
they shone forth conspicuously This, of
course, was pure affectation, throwing
doubt on the suit and giving the appear
ance of humbuggery to the whole per.
formance. 1t has ever seemed to me that
this element ran through all of his so.

JOY FOR THE SPECTATORS

THE days have come when the old-time
l. Prohibitionists can sit back In their
easy chairs and chuckle. Politicians of the
old-line parties who will say in public that
the constitutional amendment should be
rejected are almost as scarce as peach
orchards In midocean
We are now treated to the edifying spec
tacle of one candidate for office insisting
that he is the only simon-pure prohibition
list and that every other candidate who
processes to favor the amendment is insin-
cere and is nothing better than a whited
sepulcher
The exchange of courtesies has pro-
gressed to the point where men are calling
one another liars What they will be say
ing by the time of the primaries no one
can foretell. The capabilities of the Ian.
guage have not yet been exhausted. ana
as the candidates are expert word singers
we may expect much entertainment as the
weeks go by
In the meantime 1t is worth while noting
that the controversy is between candidates
who profess to be for the amendment and
the only issue is whether one is a better
prohibitionist than the other.
This certainly Is not a matter for the
rest of us to get excited about.

PEARY-AMUNDSEN-
SHACKLETON

On the evening of January 16. 1918. at
the Art Club. In Philadelphia, met Robert
r. Peary, who discovered the North Pole;
Road Amundsen, who reached the South
Pole. and Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Eng
lshman, who made a brave attempt to get
to the South Pole, but failed. 1t certainly
was an unusual combination to encounter
at one time. A reception was given them
by the Art Club, at which many distin.
guished Philadelphians we're present. John
Cadwalader escorted me to seat at the
luncheon upstairs. and, being a member
of the club acted as personal host. While
we were chatting, we were interrupted,
however, by gentleman who said he had
been hunting for me, and that the presi.
dent of the club wanted me to dine with
the guests. About twenty persons sat at
the dinner table. 1t gave me the oppor-
tunity Of seeing at closer range the ex-
plorers and saying a few words to them.
Peary I have known and have elsewhere
depicted Amundsen Is a tall, bony man,
with the lines of his face drawn, thin and
tough giving much the impression Of a
Calvinistic Scotchman fed on oatmeal and
the twenty.nne articles of the Covenant.
He was. nevertheless, cordial, and answered
such questions as were put to him with
few but direct words. He indicated a
certain sense Of power, and is probably
made Of sterner stuff than most men.
Shackleton, short, stocky, dark -eycd and
dark-haired Englishman, I pitied. What
could be more uncomfortable than to feel
that you had come near but had not
touched the goal, and then to be shown
in contrast with two men each of whom
had succeeded in the difficult quest.
General Nelson E. Miles, who was one
of the party, came over and sat with me
at the table after the cigars had been
handed around Much of his talk was about
Roosevelt, whom he detested.

GORGAS IS RIGHT

TINE sudden concentration of War De-
= partment and War College influence
against Surgeon General Gorgas in his
effort to advance the rank and widen the
authority of the more important members
of the medical corps is significant of an
ancient principle which were better dis
carded In these crucial days.
Line officers in the army and the navy
are never able to avoid a dim inherited
prejudice in their relations with the tech.
nical men of their service. 1t is cheering,
therefore. to know that President Wilson
u supporting General Gorgas The Presi.
dent usually gets what he desires.
Tho new and unexpected growth of the
army and the whole involved procedure
Of war-making upon an unexampled scale
have put new burdens on the medical corps.
Sanitation is the first factor I'm the vitality
OF armies. Yet no medical officer may
now be sure that his orders will not bo
countermanded or disregarded by some.
body of the line.
And this is only one side of the questicn n.
The new army has been enriched by the
services of some of the best surgeons.
physicians and sanitarians in the country.
These men have given their lives to a
process Of difficult training Their gen.
eral equipment is valuable beyond all cal.
culation. They should not be hampered by
inferior rank for any reason of sentiment
or tradition.

nINING with Charles :. Harrison. the
~ former provost Of the University of
Pennsylvania, on the evening Of September
%, 1914. at his attractive country place, I
sat at the table with Mrs. Harrison, and on
my left was r. T. Stotesbury, the million
aire, who, entering the house of Drexel &
Co years ago as a clerk at a small salary.
is now the head of the establishment A
short. meager man. with much vivacity,
he told me that he had been much opposed
to the nomination of George II. Earle, Jr..
for the mayoralty of the city, but that now,
under the Wilson regime, 100 men had
been discharged by the Baldwin Locomotive
Works and every business in which he
was interested was stagnant. and he hoped
for the return of Penrose to the United
States Senate.
Il have just received a letter from the
head of the firm of Harjes G. Co. In Paris
II Is pitiable. He asks me to be his execu-
tor. He tells me the Germans are near the
city. that he does not know whether he or
his children will be alive a week hence,
that he does not know whether he will
have anything to leave TO them, that no
man can tell what will happen"
Stotesbury was interested in the opera
in Philadelphia.
Il paid Mary Garden" said he. eighteen
hundred dollars a night. and made an en-
gagement to pay her eighty thousand dol.
lars in the course of the winter. The
newspapers accused me of spending too
much time in her dressing room. while. on
the other hand, she described me as such
a timid little man."

CARRYING PHILADELPHIA
SCHOOLS

HOLDING the school rate to six mills
- the limit Of the levying power dele.
EAted to the Board of Education under the
new school code, is a good argument for
introducing the Gary system here. If 1t is
the sole argument of its advocates it lacks
the vitality to validate a complete revolu-
ton in the school system.
Il The Gary plan must have more than a
stabilizing effect on the school tax to war
rant adoption. II its intensive methods
can be applied SO as to reduce the half
time evil keep idle rooms filled with learn
ing children and insure maximum of edu-
cational efficiency at minimum of cost it
viii be boon to Philadelphia. But inno-
walton must wait on certainty. The au-
thorities must be sure they are bettering
the machine, not throwing a monkey
wrench into 1t. The Gary plan worked out
admirably In the small town of its incep.
tion. 1t has not worked so well in New
York. either because of inside" politics
opposing it or lack of adaptability to met
ropolitan needs.
Philadelphia should know which before
acting.
