tion of connecting link between

ing a direct Des Moines connection with
the gulf. Part Of the link is COM

fering minds, and press repre-
senting the minutest divergences

fronted nation.

perhaps, but he is wise enough to
know that he is making history,

recognize any glazing mistake

hand asserting that mistakes have
already been made. The very
magnitude of the responsibility
that rests upon him, and which
doubtless dictated a policy of re
