ARMSTRONG, Acnt No-3 vVater Street, Elizabeth City, N.C. WATERWAY Washington D. C. July 7. Charles M. Pepper, for a number of years head of the Chicago Tribune News Bureau in this city, but for the past four years ' special agent of the De partment of Commerce and Labor, has had abundant opportunity, in his travels about the world, to make a first hand study of the waterways of European countries. Mr. Pepper, af ter leaving active newspaper work, was appointed by President McKinley a Commissioner to the Pan American Congress held In the City of Mexico In 1902. Subsequently he was ap pointed by President Roosevelt to visit the countries of South America and make a report on the Pan Amer ican railway, which report Is one of the most exhaustive ever prepared by an official of the Government. Later Mr. Pepper associated himself with the Department of Commerce and Labor to make reports on trade con ditions in both Southe American and in Europe, and he leaves very shortly for the continent to continue his investigations along these lines. Speaking of the growing import ance and the needs for a comprehen s've policy of waterway development now being most strongly urged by the National Rivers and Harbors Congres, Mr. Pepper said: "On the continent of Europe I ?ot ( money from corporations whose legiti a very decided impression that those mate business is 'threatened and the countries are fully up to date in , city 1)08868 an councilmen who de- .... . . mniar.arro Tha-n. ur(J mand money for themselves or posi- utilizing their waterways. They are hM,hmwi a ho L, not content with what nature has done for them for they do a good deal for themselves in the way of im. provements and of trtificlal water ways. "Three points struck me first, the constant improvements such as tae deepening of the channels; second, the privision made for shipping and terminal facilities in the way of wharves and docks; third, the extent to which the natural waterways are supplemented by canals. "Of course, everyone knows about Holland canals, but I don't think that it is understood how Belgium also supplements her very complete rail road system with canals and ship ping terminal 'facilities. You can go from Belgium to Paris by canal. "Germany, however, seems to be the most advanced of the continental countries. The natural waterways to and from the interior are the Oder, the Elbe, and the Rhine. These water ways are very thoroughly supervised by the Government and t hey are just as thoroughly supplemented by canals. ,( "I spent a good deal of time in the iron and steel district wMch are in Western Germany. The Rhine is the great thoroughfare for transportation 6 wufeuio. c v of coal and ore, and also to some ex- tent for the finished steel products. The Ems canal which runs across from the Erine to the North Sea has a branch that leads down to Dort- , . , . . . mund which is the center of some of the biggest steel works. The coal for this district lies close by, but much of the output of the Westpha lian coal mines is transported to other iron and steel) centers. , "You get an idea of this inland navigation at Duisburg-Ruhort which is the greatest inland port in Europe.

( The first step in effecting a mutual understanding between the -public and the utilities companies is to eliminate the middlemen the legislators who introduce strike bills in order to extort . of mntiniT trannhi- nu necessary to these companies to con duct or extend their business for the public welfare: These men are not, as they claim, representatives of the peo ple, but traitors to the people, for ev ery dollar which they wring from cor porations comes ultimately from the pockets of the people. These men per form no useful service. They are mere ly leeches, fattening on the mutual needs of the people and the corpora tions. There's a Reason. Municipally governed plants do not have the close supervision that is giv en to a plant conducted by a corpora tion or private company. The officers in charge of a municipal plant are usually satisfied if the books balance up at the end of their term. They have no interest in the institution beyond the time of their term of of fice. "I.t the next administration take care of that problem," is the usual reply when future troubles are anticipated. And that is the reason why the "next administration" is of ten compelled to make municipal own ership appear as a failure. May wood (111.) Herald-Recorder. Where Ignorance Is BMss.
