which must be left 10 men wno have been
educated TO wrestle with such subjects.
The Mississippi river commission (now
In session In New York, ! believe,) would
seem to be the proper parties to consider

bility. T.

was written, the Mississippi river COM

lection sought should, II would secm cause
this commission to investigate thoroughly

Mississippi, two levce districts alone have

the last fifty years. Congressman Lane of
Mississippi. a member Of the commission,
declares that one fifth of the original value
OF the lands OF that State have been de-
stroyed by floods.
The fact Of the matter Is, that the whole
theory or controlling the waters OF the
Mississippi by the means OF lcyees is wrong
they have not heretofore been a success,
and. In my humble opinion. they never Will
