RELIEF FOR THE FLOOD-STRICKEN.

The Presidents Message was not merely
timely. 1t was necessitous and urgent IN the
highest degree The lower Mississippi Valley
is flooded as never before. Thousands Of square
miles of country. including hundreds Of thou
sands Of acres of growing crops, and scores Of
towns and villages are under water. Tens Of
thousands of people are destitute, ard will be
for some time TO come. Every day the food Is
rising, every day the suffering is growing more
widespread and more intense Immediate and
generous relief Is mperatively needed. On that
elemental ground alone the Presidents Message
IS to be approved and the prompt action by
Congress In accordance with its suggestions to
be commended But there are other grounds.
AS the President points out :bere are prece-
dents for the appropriation OF Federal funds
for such works of relief, and for the granting
of even larger sums than that now asked for
Moreover. since the Federal Government has
control of the navigable rivers, to regulate com
merce upon them, and to improve their channels
as public highways. 1t is only logical and just
that It should take hand in restraining their
unrullness and in succOring those who suffer
therefrom.
It IS. of course to be assumed that the States
and municipalities directly affected are doing
and will continue to do all in their power to the
same end. The President intimates that such
Is the case and that It Is only to supplement
their work that Federal assistance Is asked. No
doubt, too. private individuals and organizations
of various kinds all over the country will hasten
10 contribute TO the relief fund. No such appeal
as the present has ever been made TO the Amer-
can people in vain. But it may be tomorrow,
or II NAV be next week. before such sources Of
aid become available and relief is needed to-
day. The prompt benefaction Of the Federal
Government will meet the immediate crisis as
nothing else can do. That passed the States
and the people will attend to all else.

THE REV MAITLAND ALEXANDER CALLED.
A UNANIMOUS INVITATION TO ASSUME THE PAS
TORATE OF THE HARLEM PRESBY
TERRAIN CHURCH

business meeting OF the congregation OF the
Harlem Presbyterian Church, One-hundred-and-
twenty -ffth-st and Madison-ave., held last
evening TO consider the report OF committee OF
ten appointed last January to select candidate for
pastor of the church in place OF the Rev. DR..
James s. Ramsay, who resigned about seven
months ago after having held the pastorate for
nearly twenty-five years. Sas a. Brush was
chairman and A. G. Tuy, secretary of the com
mittee. The Rev. DR. George ". +. Birch, pastor
Of Bethany Presbyterian Church. East One-hun-
dred-and-thirty -seventh-st.. asted as moderator.
having been appointed by the Presbytery to serve
in that capacity till the church should
pastor.
The report stated that the committee had con-
sidered the merits of fifty clergymen. OF whom one
came from Ireland and the others lived In twelve
different States OF the Union. The committee
unanimously recommended that call be extended
to the Rev. Maitland Alexander. pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of Long Branch, y. J.
There was some opposition to the report on the
ground that Mr. Alexander had never preached in
the church. and thereby given the congregation
chance to hear him It was stated that Mr.
the church on March Is. but had preached in the
Scotch Presbyteria Church. in West Ninety-ffth-
ST. where he had been heard by the committee,
and might also have been heard by those OF the
congregation who had seen III to avail themselves
OF the opportunity.
After prolonged discussion the committees
recommendation adopted by vote of S. to IA.
Dr. Birch then euogized Mr.. Alexander highly and
appealed to the minority to make the vote unani-
nous. which was done

CONTROLLING THE WESTERN FPESHETS.

Lamentabe as are the effects Of high water in
the lower Mississippi Valley at present, and seri-
as is the outlook for the next few weeks, it
would be a mistake TO pronounce our present sys-
TEN of dealing with such floods a failure. A care
full survey OF the situation shows that this is an
exceptional season in some respects. The amount
of water discharged by the Ohio is usually quite
as great as that from the upper Mississippi and
the Missouri combined. But as a rule, the thaws
which carry off the snow from the region in
which the aforementioned stream takes its rise
are operative about two or three months before
similar effects are observed up in Minnesota the
Dakotas and Montana This year however. the
second freshet period OF the basin has set in
earlier than 1t does ordinarily The crisis at
Cincinnati may be said TO have passed for this
season. but the Ohio is still very full. and down
Cairo Is being kept at high level by the
Cumberland and Tennessee. Thus, the two foods
overlap, instead Of remaining quite distinct as is
their habit.
There are two general ways OF controlling the
waters Of such stream as the Mississippi. One
is 10 convert the river into a canal by straighten-
ing its channel. walling up the sides and putting
in locks and dams This would be an exceedingly
costly undertaking. though effcctual; but as yet
the necessity for adopting such an expedient has
not been demonstra ted The other method Is to
leave an open course, but to curb eccentrcites
Such plan admits OF the use OF several different
measures With that aim. at least three diff
ferent classes OF work are now being done along
the lower Mississippi. Low shores are being
guarded by bikes. or levees. These artificial en-
bankments are built higher and more securely
now than formerly. and are kept under closer
