"Savoyard," the Washington corres pondentIn tit laat of bla syndicate letter, which we find in the Charlotte Observer lwt an Interesting ac count of, the work of Congressman Stanley, of Kentucky, In behalf of the portion of the lock and dan system on the Ohio River which affects his district It may be observed, however, while we Join fully with "Savoyard" in praising Mr. Stanley's activity and loy alty, that he did not have his mind distracted and his time consumed by having to earn his lMng; nor his ef forts to earn his living and pay his expenses at Washington opposed by the establishment of a hostile Con gressman in his i. District : to share or reduce his income and thereby to weaken his ef forts in behalf of the public. On the contrary, he received, during all this time, his 17,500 per year, plus the ser vices of his secretary and stenograph er, making about S10.000 a year, and his printing, mailing, stationery, and many other things, free, that cost the unofficial worker hard earned dollars. Here Is the letter referred, to, which wlU give an Insight into the way things are worked at Washington both by the "worker" himself, and by the correspondent whose favor he has been able to secure: ( j The Ohle River. The Panama canal will cost $500, 000,000 before it is finished, and as an artery of commerce It will be worth to the American people less than one-tenth the benefit they would derive from the expenditure of 163, 000,000 to improve the Ohio river upon the plan laid down by the hoard of engineers of the army. Bnt the isthmian canal will be invaluable in that It will afford a means to rein force ear fleets In the - PaeUto -with war craft drafter from the Atlantic fleets. If war should come with Japan after the canal is finished it may pay for itself In few weeks, I never dreamed of the stupendous industrial and commercial possibili ties of the great valley drained by the Ohio river and its tributaries un til I read a speech of A. O. Stanley, member of Congress from the second Kentucky district, delivered ' before the "Ohio Valley Improvement As sociation," at Cincinnati last autumn. The remarks of Mr. 8tanler were a little more ornate than John O. Car lisle or Nelson W. . Aldrtch would liave made them; but that to excus able in a successor la Congress oi Joan Toting Brown and James A. what he said, and that is the main thing in a speech, and he startled his hearers, as well aa bis readers, by the extent and thoroughness of his knowl edge of the subject As I read and read I could but marvel at the gift tne man has for research, the patient industry, the seat for pursuit the long possession of a single train of thought What a lawyer, he would make if he should lose his love for politics, which he won't The Ohio river has numerous tri butaries, the Allegheny, the Mononga hela, the Kanawha, the Muskingum, ue Kentucky, the Green, the Cum berland, the Tennessee and the Wa bash representing navigable waters 3.500 miles in extent bearing freights aggregating 7,500,000 tons per an num, it is proposed to canalise the Ohio, which would give a nine-foot channel every day in the year, and coeapen rates on freight to 18.000. 000 of our population. At present the Ohio has an' eight and one-half foot channel only 70 days in the year. And thus when the tributaries empty their 7,500,000 tons of freight upon aer bosom it must remain there to await a rise in the waters. And thus again the millions spent In the Improvement of the lesser streams are practically useless . some , ten months in the year. , - Speaking of freight rates on the unto, Mr. Stanley said: "When you propose transporting your flushed product do yoq .know that the freight rates upon the,' Ohio river when you have . river are cheaper than anywhere - else in the world T Why, the water rates upon the Older are about I.3S mills per ton-mile;' on the Elbe, IJ& mills, and on the Rhine, 1 J mills. On the great lakes and through the Saulte Ste. Marie the canal rate is .01 of one mill per mile. Coal is carried from Pittsburg to Cairo for less than half mill per ton-mile, or, according to the official llgures. 0.0447 cents per ton-mue; tnat is. a ton of eoal Is car ried from Pittsburg to Cairo for 4U5 cents." - '-. - And he supplements that statement with the declaration that more com merce Is borne upon the bosom of the Ohio than upon any other nnlm- proveo river on earth. When the Ohio river is properly Unproved and a nine-foot -channel vcurea me year round irora ruia burg to Cairo, it will create another Pittsburg at Kvansville and vicinity, and Owensboro and Henderson on the south side of the river will be the "vicinity." Pittsburg depends on Iron, steel, glass and coal. The new rntitom. already the first hardwood trifiitnfacturmg center in America, it nnt in lbs world, will have cotton mills, flour mills, tobacco factories, live stock yards, whisky distilleries mid In addition, steel, iron, coal and plans. For commercial and financial purposes, the three cities, Evansvllle, Owensboro and Henderson will be one, and if Evansvllle shall be the l iif-fRt of the three, it will be due to the fact that it is directly opposite V mi eonlluence of the Ohio and Green i s on the south bank of the Ohio. And that brings me to say some s 3 of Green river that I have 3 ii from childhood. For the i o of water It discharges, it is ,-i --it river In the world, and h fuo r-!on of the "Penny ' of Kentucky, unsurpassed : in y nis i inn Ivnk'd In versatility of in nil the world. The Is fi i d the torn . f"d It Is I i at one ' of the r v.i Croon The products that come out of Green river are as varied as tbey are abundant coal, lumber, including walnut oak, hickory, ash, gum, beech elm and poplar, tobacco, corn, wheat oats, potatoes, all the vegetables, cat tle, mules, hogs, sheep, staves, hubs, rims, spokes, poultry, eggs, and fruit, amounting in all to one million tons per annum. As soon as this merchandise em erges from Green river, it runs np against a sandbar about three hun dred days In the year, and that la why it amounts to only about one tenth of the entire commerce of the Ohio. If there were a dam at Hen derson, there Is no question that the traffic on the Green river would soon be doubled. There are folk who look coolly upon river and harbor im provement because they hold it tends to, cripple our railroads. There never was yet a . more mistaken notion. Cheap rates make business, and ft Is Impossible for the river to be swarm .ng with craft laden with merchan dise - without Its making - additional trains on the railroads laden with freight James J. Hill, as good au thority on the subject as any man now . living, welcomes river improve ments if judicially directed, and his opinion Is that the more commerce floated on our rivers and lakes, the more ears the railroads will need to carry the additional freight the water traffic la certain to make for them. It is a fact that an additional ex penditure of a billion on our rivers, lakea and harbors to facilitate trans portation would not give to our wa terways half the efficiency of those of France, which Is expending large sums to widen and deepen her rivers and canals. Of course when Congress embraced the policy of canalising the Ohio, the work had to begin at Pittsburg and make Its way down, though that waa a mistaken notion.' It would hare been worth many times the cost of the whole thing had bonds been sold and all the fifty four dams constructed at once.. By this time the thing would have been completed, and hun dreds of millions aaved In the con- merce of the Ohio and its tributaries; but they would not have it so, and it will be many , years before the work is completed. . The moat - important dam of " the whole lot la that at Henderson, to conserve the commerce of the Green river and lend immense advantages o the triple cities of Henderson, Owensboro and Evansvllle. Congress man Stanley has worked for this end without eeaaolng ever since he has been In Congress, and Just before the recent holiday recess of Congress he prevailed on the rivers and harbors committee In the House to give him a day in court, and they granted him V hearing January t, 1S1- - He scampered home and aroused his constituents. ' At Owensboro it waa after night and the night of the bilsxard at that But six men com posed his audience, later swollen tc some sixteen. In the biting cold he )poke to. them, and raised $125 to Help defray the expenses of a delega tion to Washington to appear before the committee. At his home town of Henderson, he raised 1800, and at Evansvllle they put np $900. Then Owensboro reinforced her contribu tion, and January 8 there waa a large delegation of business men from the three cities. They championed the cause as only business men could and the committee was simply as tounded at the resources and possl irflitles of that region. I hope the Henderson dam win be ordered and appropriated for. 8uch seal and energy as Mtanley's deserve .iuccesa, and the delegations he head- ad from Evansvllle, Owensboro and Henderson were aa fine speclmlns oi jplendld citizenship as the Union can show. - . ..: THE SRITI8H CRISIS, AS SEEN BY A RICH LONDONER. .The tact to little understood In this country that "protection" in Great Brt tain means protection for the product (wheat) of the lands of the landowners, and, consequently, of .the tenants who till them. A landowner, or "owner of the soil" there, is very different from American landowners. His holdings of land are usually enormous, and his life Is one of splendor and often' of high service aa well. The American plutocrat is the protected one in this country, and the American landowner suffers under the tariff burden which has made the plutocrat rich at the ex pense of others. ' j; ' With this explanation the reader will better understand what a rich Londoner, Mr. Joseph Fela, said to the Washington Star on Thursday last Says the Star: ;V !',''' .:'V.; Wrongs of Britons Oppression ' of Landowners Explained by Rich Low doner UndervsM&tion of Soil A s .. sessed at Worth Estimated In 1688, Regardless of Improvements Com j Mons Misappropriated Joseph Fels ' Predicts New Doomsday Book Ex pects Great Liberal Victory. - "Work for the unemployed. Hope for the toller. The burden for the back of him who Is best able to bear it" These are the slogans cl the admin istration In the electorial contest now being waged in Great Britain against the action of the house of lords In re jecting the financial budget of the gov ernment says Joseph Pels, the million aire manufacturer of London and Phi ladelphia, In an interview with a Star reporter today. "It Is not an attack upon the boose of lords as an Institution," said Mr. Fels. "It is an appeal to the country to know if rank Injustice and mono poly, which for upward of three hun dred years nave served to make the rich richer and the poor poorer, shall continue uncurbed. ... "Not since 1688 has there been a valuation or, aa you call It here, an assessment of land In Great Britain. The value placed upon the great source of all wealth, the soil, tnree hundred snd twelve years ago is the value now employed upon which to base taxes. Improvements Not Taxed. "Nor Is there any separation in val uation of land and the Improvements put upon It, such as you have here. If a broad park of hundreds of acres was . assessed In those remote times at a valuation of 10, or $100 of Amer ican money, that Is today the valuation upon which Is based the tax required of its owner, although, in the interim, millions of dollars' worth of improve ments may have been placed upon it, "The 78,000,000 acres of land that comprise the soil of Great Britain Is owned by 12,000 people. Think of it! Think, too, of the revenue they pay as land taxes into the government cof fers and compare it with the millions that must be wrung from the people in other ways! "It is the provisions of the rejected budget providing for a revaluation of the land and tax of a half penny to the pound, g well tin a tax on the In crement of land values amounting to 20 per cent of the profits realised In the sale of land, that are the dominant features of that budget and the prize for which those who supported it are i contending. Two-Thirds of land Useless. Not over one-third of the land of Great Britain la put to its best use. The remainder la held out for sporting and amusement purposes or for spec ulation. "In London alone there are 10,000 acres of unused land which, it has been said, has never known a spade In the memory of man. Many landowners are absentees, without local interest other than aa it affects the value and the rental of their property. - The agricultural lands that are hot used are not taxed at all. No taxes are levied while farm la idle. Su burban and urban land la also free from taxation practically while not In use, xcept In the matter of water rents and the like, Land la a sacred thing In the eyes of the land owner of the British em pire. So city and county officials have experienced the grea.est difficulty in getting the land actually needed for public Improvements. The right of eminent domain, such as is employed in ttils country, exists, but is aeldom ever exercised In Great Britain. 'Not only la the landowner not con tent with what he has, but for years he has been encroaching upon the com mon lands of the people, the pasture lands along the roadsides and the public commons, which are an insti tution not generally known in this eoutry. In numberless instances It has been found that the owners of the land contiguous to these lands of the common people have advanced their fences and taken them into their own inclosures.. - Commons are 8tolen. 'Twenty yearn' continuous nosses- slon of land thus dishonestly obtained vests a title in the man who has ap propriated it One may find all through tngiano. wnere this has been done, and jee where the old fence lines were and where the new ones hawe added acres dishonestly to those who built them. 'So great waa this evil that an or ganisation was formed, called the In aosures Association, which undertook the duty of prosecuting landowners no aid tola, in many instances, as 1 result the people's lands have been restored to them. "But when the framers of the recent judget undertook' to provide for the evaluation of all land and to shift he burdens from the shoulders of the people by a fair and reasonable tax upon the value of tne land the how, entup.; . u.;....r.T...,.

To the Editor of the Observer: Raleigh, January, 22, 1910. As has already been announced, the Board of Agriculture at its December meeting. appropriated, $500 for prem iums to Boys' Corn Club contestants. The contestants are to be between the ages of 13 and 17 years. Any boy becoming it years old by June first is eligible, and any boy . who Is now 17 but will be 18 not later than August tirst will be eligible to -enter the con test - The rules governing the contest will be about aa they were last year, except that any boy will be permitted to get any person to break his land for him. I do this because the younger boys are not heavy enough to handle a large two-horse plow In heavy land but after the land to broken each boy must do the remainder of the work nlmself. It It to known that any boy permits another person to do the work or to help in the work after the land Is broken until all cultivation la finish ed, he will be ruled out of the con test ' Only $10 worth of commercial fertilizers may be used on each acre. The plat of land must be a full acre. Less than an acre will not he consid ered. The plat of land must not be less than a half acre In width. Square plats nre- preferred." Only' boys living pn the farm can compete for these prixes. The plat of land must be a part of some regular field on the farm, and not a garden spot, a town lot or plat belonging to some city or other corporation. The contestant may use all the home raised manure he can get Cotton seed, cotton-seed meal, city garbage, fish or fish scrap will be considered as commercial fertilizers. . The State haa keen divided into ten districts, and prizes aggregating $50 win be given to the winners in each district First prize, $25; second prise, $15;" third prize. 10. vf Application blanks and other litera ture will be ready in a few weeks, but the boys can begin work now and send in their, application blanks later.

' Have w. eally emerged from the practices' ol the dark ages of the world. Our at , entlon waa called to this question very recently. A little child was sev erely burned a few days ago, and the sympathy of the entire community was aroused, as perhaps no other cir cumstance would have done. Ever one volunteered their services , for ail they were worth, the old woman' of traditional faith and praotice coaxing the Ore to come out of the scalded flesh of the' tender babe, as the dev ils were coaxed to depart from Mary Magdelene. - The family physician ar rived with his salves for every sore, looking wiser than seven Solomons, got offended at the Ignorance and su perstition of the faith cure, gave ven. -o h s disgust in hard offensive word tf denunciation. We waited in bus tense, our sympathy going out exclu ively In behalf of the sweet little babe -no time for dissention. Relieve tht .uttering by all means unity of action y saint and sinner waa our motto, nd to defer discussion of means ap plied Until some leasure hour we had tad of miracles performed by Jesus Christ and his disciples. " How he told -hem that If they had faith sufficient ney could do even greater things than ie had done In their presence, and how those curious people saw snakes bit ng the Apostle Paul, and expected to -ee him fall down dead, and yet they aw no harm come to him; and we emembered how the modern practice Of medicine and surgery claimed to lave improved upon anciont rules of practice and we wondered If It was vhe object of the modern practice to deny the faith. It seemed to us that there was some dlsientloa v.slble. The itone throwers were required to be ree from sin, before they became exe--ntionors of the law..
