]Manufacturers' Association. Con-
' ' in Hill declared that New Ens-
as losing its industrial suprem-

distance from raw materials
and markets, and that the manufac-
’ tiring cities of the Middle West were
blunting by railroad rates lower than
those exacted here.
.MT- Hill quoted from a speech de-
,"iivel'sd by Congressman Moore eIPhil-
adolphia, in which he declared that
‘ "the problem of New England in a
j problem of advancement, or retardal.
‘ with all their drawbacks and
itstlonI or of insistence upon the
. , , Pal. unrestricted, (Tod givan meth-
- oils of communication which provide
'lieL‘which afford competition, and
which encourage the development of
. . ad's." This statement was endorsed
1 by Mr. Hill as “right. " for situated as
. we are. hundreds of miles from raw'
7 materials and from the center of the
V sniirkot for finished products the prob-
lem of transportation is the one which
vitally aflects our future."
Mgresaman Moore may be called
the leading ilgure in the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association, the
,, prominent advocate of an inland
waterway from Maine to Florida.
This association will hold its third
annual convention at Providence. R.
1., on August 31. Sept. 1. 2 and a. the
expectation being that it will awaken
New England to a realisation of its
pressing need of the accomplishment
.«of the organization's object, as such
need has been voiced by Congressmen
Hill and Moore. The projected inland
waterway includes [long island sound.
upon which Bridgeport is. as yet. a
port but with sadly restricted faclll
tics.
In Mr. Moore's speech upon this sub-
‘ dost before the House on June if. he
bald:
“'Grave and serious questions which
._~ than any of the other seaboard states.
’ It was because of these conditions that
the distinguished governor of Rhoda
island. the Hon. Aram .l Pothler,
gested the Providence meeting and
he pad to arouse his compatriots of the
New England states. Governor Poth-
icr realised the vast significance of
. New England's industrial activity, but
~ he also knew that without sdeouatte
transportation facilities New England
stood in danger of losing its high place

"it has frequently been observed that
New England with all its boasted

New England spirit of indepsnd

Moisture also quoted from the roll.
I adopted at the last conven-
cdf the Atlantic Deeper Water

P0? .
his city on the Atlantic coast is more
greatly interested that the manufac-
turing city of Bridgeport in the inland
waterway outlined above. “New lint
land needs" says in. Moore. ."inr
prayed communication with the South
and West: it ought to have 'an anchor
to the windward' in transportation."
And, Bridgeptlrt is a part of New Eur
land.
Local manufacturers and business
men should evince s lively interest in
the coming convention at Providence.
It will be a notable gathering. Presi-
dent Taft. cabinet members, govern-
ors, U. 8. senators and representatives
are to hemaent and heard from. The
convention will afford an excellent on
portunlty for Bridgeporters to evince
repentance for past lethargy. or worse
——for having aided railroad bottling-up
of Bridgeport harbor at a time when.
more than ever before. harbor facili.
ties should have been increased rath-
or than diminished.
The establishment of the proposed
inner waterway along the Atlantic
coast is a certainty of the future, per-
haps of the near future. As may be
noted in the abovequoted resolutions.
it is already in process of construction
in the South. .
As Congressman llill says. "the prob-
lem of transportation is the one which
vitally affects our future;" as Con-
gressman Moore says, the problem for
New England is insistence upon the
natural methods of communcstlon
"which proivde relief. which afford
competition, and which encourage the
development of trade."

According to a special dospatch to
the New York Times.,a Hutchinson.
Kansas. new-dealer is a prise. Because
of an article by Theodore Roosevelt in
The Outlook, the‘lateat issue of that
magazine is regarded by a bookseller
there as omciaily barred from sale in
Hutchinsomlie believes it to come un-
der the ban of a recent ordinance
which prohibited the exhibition of
prise light pictures and the sale of
newspapers or ntagaslnes printing
such pictures or printing stories of
prize fights.
Of course. it was never intended that
the ordinance should place The Out-
look in this class. but under a strict
interpretation of the, ordinance any
magaline which prints matter relating
to prise lighting can be barred.
The latest issue of The Outlook cont
talus comment by Mr. ltcoseevlt on
‘he Jeffriesdohnaon light, so it canto
under the provisions of the ordinance.
even if the uncle did condemn prise
lighting.
No particular attention was paid to
the matter until yesterday, when Mr.
Oswald. a city commissioner, wont to
a bookstore to buy a copy of The Out-
look.
“Csn‘t sell it.“ the dealer said. ”ii

Theodore Roosevelt. and i would be
breaking the new ordinance."
When the despatcli was shown to
Colonel ltooacvolt yesterday he laugh-
ed long and loud.
"According to their arrangement.

must not be circulated." exploded the
colonel.
