1HE large quantity of shipping injured and
destroyed at ST. Louis by the recent ice break
and the injury done to boats and barges every
season, by insufficient protection, is attract
ing attention 10 the points on the river where
boats would find secure harbors. The Quincy
Wig urges the superior advantages of the
bay at Tat place for this purpose. Itsays:
Last season some seventeen boats. large
and small, were laid up in winter quarters in
the bay; there are now but two, the Lucy
Bertram and Florence. The cost of repai. I'M
the keokuk packets alone at this point last
year amounted, we believe, to oser twenty
thousand dollars. This work contributed
largely ITO keep up appearances on the
leyee. The lower part of the bay was really
converted into one grand carpenter shop,
where the sound of the hammer and the saw
were heard from morning until night. Now
all is silence and comparative barrenness.
AS we intimated in the outset. no harbor on
the whole length of the Mississippi river of.
fers such complete protection to shipping
against damage by ice rs our bay. There is
also abundant room for thousand boats to
lie securely under the shelterine willows of
the island, shielded IN great measure from
the storms OF winter, and protected beyond
the possibility of disaster from the breaking up
of the ice in the Spring. We think it would
be good policy for the different lines running
above St Louis, to make sure of getting their
boats into winter quarters here, even at the
expense of losing a few trips during the last
days of navigation. Two hundred thousand
dollars might have already been saved this
season by stopping three days sooner, and
housing the boats in our commodous harbor.
instead of allowing them to be caught at St.
Louis without protection, to be crushed as a
cookie she'll by the mighty masses of moving
ice that played such sad havoc with the ship
ping there week before last We think the
lesson will be improved upon.

Pay YorR DEBrs-A writer in The Riqht
bog quotes the saying of a witty New Yorker
in 1907, that property was returning to its
owners. and says, 'the sevens have so far
been years of settlement. 1917. 81, 81. A.,
and 81 will be remembered by all. From
present appearances 1867 viii belong TO the
same category. The Secretary of the Treas
ury cannot prevent such catastrophe. He
is merely a borrower. But the people can
prevent it, by getting ont Of debt and keeping
out Of debt. One dollar will go as far now in
paying debt as ever, and perhaps as far as
two when the crash comes The sum OF
financial wisdom is lowe no man anything -
to which should be added the principle of re-
ligious wisdom, ''but love one another

HIS WEALTH CURsE.-Mr. Benjamin W.
Greene, the principal in the horrible tragedy
at Hartford, Conn, Is about sixty-six years
of age, and quite wealthy, his resources prob
ably amounting to $4,000, and his yearly
income to about $4,000. notwithstanding
this, he has for some months past seemed to
be in o state Of mental arrangement, and had
a constant fear of poverty. His mind has
been in . troubled, worried state, so that his
physicians have told him that he must travel
or 60 to the retreat. He has refused to travel
because he could not afford it. He has been
harsh and tyrannical in his family for some
years, and has upbraided his wife and daugh-
tiers for what he called their extravaganza
though they simply lived in style betting
his means and their social position He
wanted to sell his fine house, saying he could
not afford TO live in it. His wife has told him
that if it was true that they were poor, she
would consent to the sale of the house. bat it
was not true, and she and other friends have
tried to dispel the poverty mouomania with
which he has been afflicted. In fact. though
worried with the fear of poverty, he has every
year added considerably to his large fortune
To all efforts of his friends to induce him TO
travel, he replied that he was too poor.
