—Waterway Project is
Again Kndorsed.
■T. TV. Stelnhart of Nebraska City
Tvas elected president of the Nebraska
Marfufacturers association at the as
sociation convention in Hotel font
enelle yesterday.
The association commended "l he
courage of President Harding in ve
toing the soldiers’ bonus anil the pen*
sion bills, for the excellent reasons set
forth in his messages, since we be
lieve that this is not the time for in
creased burdens of taxation."
"However,” continues . this same
resolution, "we see no objection to the
conversion of the foreign debt to
America for the benefit of World
War veterans as may he provided by
congress."
Favor Waterway Project.
The association reaffirmed its pre
vious stand in favor of the St. Law
rence Waterway project and expres
sed a hope that necessary governmen
tal action will not long bo delayed.
Hope is expressed in another reso
lution that those charged with mak
ing and administering of law will
forget political expediency and give
proper consideration to the economic
principles upon which fair and equit
able taxation must bo based.
Other resolutions express the as
soc. .1 linn's confidence in the industrial
outlook; commend tlie good work of
the Nebraska state’ board for voca
tional education; hold for the need of
an adequate merchant marine; com
plain that the present immigration
laws aro wholly inadequate to meet
today's conditions and that "the re
strictive measures aro wrong in prin
cipal and Injurious to America’s best
interests;’’ protest against the enact
ment of the Hull bill.

Progress that Is being made toward
a realization of the Great Lakes-St.
Lawrence tidewater project, was out
lined in a short talk by Victor B.
Smith, managing editor of The Omaha
Bee. Mr. Smith urged members of
th>> association, which, on two occa
sions has endorsed the project to "en
list and battle to put the thing over.”
Smith Is Optimisin'.
Although New York interests have
been rather sucessful in fighting the
waterway project, a tendency in Wash
ington to lend a more attentive ear
to demands of the west, gives en
couragement to those supporting it,
Mr. Smith said. lie predicted that
western Canadian provinces will in
the near future force the 'Canadian
Jtarliuinent to take favorable action on
the proposed water route.
It was pointed out in the discussion
which followed Mr. Smith's talk, that
ihe waterway, when completed, will
not only save time and transportation
enlarges for Nebraska, interests, hut
will be a remedy for car shortages
which have in the past embarrassed
grain shippers of the state.
Favor Irrigation Plait.
('. W. McConaughy of Holdrege, !
speaking on the proposed irrigation !
and power project which is being fos
tered by tlm Central Nebraska Sup
plometal Water association, explained
that the plan calls for the building
of two dams in the Plum Creek val
lcy; one four miles north of Elvvood,
and the other 12 miles down the val
ley. When completed, the project will
irrigate 2.000,000 acres of setniarhj
and arid land, Mr. McConaughy said.
It also would generate power to fur
nish light, power and heat for 12
counties, according to Mr. McOon
ntiglty, who said the moisture furnish
ed the land would be cuulvalent to
3'i inches of rainfall, and would assure
the fertility of the soil.
The association endorsed the proj
ect. .1. W. Steinhart of Nebraska City
was made chairman of a commit
tee to present the plan to the state
legislature.
In an informal discussion. President
A. K. Kinney declared that if he were
picking a man for general manager of
bis business, he would select one who
had taken a classical course, rather
than a technical one at the universi
ty. He also spoke highly of gradu
ates of the University of Nebraska.

District Judge Sears
Writes Another Poem
District Judge Sears, who was
elected to congress at the recent elec
tion and who is the poet of the courts
buildng, continues to write poetry.
The following poem Mr. Sears wrote
while deliberating over a decision in a
divorce lawsuit. He stated that he
intended to write poetry, although he
w ill occupy a seat in congress next '
March.
The title of his poem is,’ “A New '
Year’s Thought.”
Again a cycling year ha* come and gone.
Anti you end I have stood and watched
it pa**,
A panorama turned for ui alone
Upon the screen of time. A seething
mass
Of human* holding out their hands to us.
Or else their fingers sunk In throats of
men.
Oh aha 11 it he forever thus.
They rend and tear as tigers do, and
then
Leave quivering flesh and seek for further
prey.
Stilling the promptings of the inner eelf,
Continue Night through hours that should
be Pay
For nothing but a love for gre*d and
pelf?
Or shall we not the New Year t*ke the
hands
Held out to us. and comfort all the lands?
