There is no doubt in my mind" said
the Senator, that the government has
got to undertake some day a scheme Of
Internal improvements which will give
work to the unemployed. There Is no
considerable number of men out Of
work now-that is, of those who want
employment-but during the three
years OF depression l have no doubt
there was an average OF million men
out of employment. Labor leaders at
times estimated the number at 2.00O.-
coo and at 100000. / believe 1t would
have been better for the great mass Of
the people II the government had found
employment for these men. The COM
munity had to support them In some
way. Every idle man Is n tax on the
man who is working. And lack Of work
creates discomfort, which stirs up n rev.
dictionary feeling.
"The scheme OF improvements,
think. will take the form of a system Of
waterways which will cheaper trans
portatlon and keep the rates of the rail-
roads down to reasonable figure. The
canals of New York have done n won
derful work in the regulation of trans
pOrtation rates In that State. When
the HennepIn Canal project was last
discussed It was shown that on roads
running east from Chicago In compe-
tition with the water routes the freight
rates were only one-half the rates on
roads running northwest which had no
water competition. OF course, the
enormous traffic of the east-bound
roads accounted for this In part. but

we cannot fail to entertain a high sense
of the advantage to be derived from
the facility which may be afforded In
the intercourse between them by means
OF good roads and canals. Never did q
country of such vast extent offer equal
inducements to improvement OF this
kind nor ever were consequences Of
such magnitude involved In them"
The consequences" at the present
time Mr.. Thurston estimates at $780,
600, 900 to $4O0.0OO.O00 year-that is,
possibly two-ffths Of the present cost
OF running the whole government.
The Hennepln Canal project received
serious consideration several times at
the hands OF Congress. More than ten
years ago the State Of Illinois offered
to the government the 100000 State
canal between Lake Michigan and the
Illinois River on condition that 1t
way OF the Illinois River with the Mis-
sissIpi. The distance from Hennepin
TO the Mississippi by the proposed canal
was sixty-four miles, while by way of
the mouth OF the Illinois the same poirt
on the Mississippi was 46S miles away
But Congress. after having elaborate
surveys and estimates made, let the
project go by default. One point OF
difference was the choice of a Western
terminus for the canal, and that diff
ference would arise again. Three
routes were proposed. The cheapest
and most satisfactory, from an engi
n6ering point Of view, was the Marais
d'Osier or Meredosla route, terminating
at Albany. seven miles above Rock Isl
and. Another route terminated at Wa
tertown, twenty-one miles above Al
bany, and the third ut Rock Island
Gen. Newton and Secretary Endicot
favored the Rock Island route, largely
on account Of the arsenal there and tn,

century. Mr.. Thurston wants n canal
from the Mississippi River deep enough
and wide enough to accommodate a
ship-of-war. He wants the river and
canal channels east Of Hennepin made
equally wide and deep, and he wants a
ship canal opened from Lake Erie to
the Atlantic, either by the widening OF
the Erie Canal or by the opening Of a
canal to cross Lake Champlain on the
line surveyed year ago by a govern
ment commission.
The use of this canal would be the

BLACK AND BLUE.

Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor in any season.
They hold their own and will not wash out.
They are pretty solid colors, and but for the
misery of wearing them, might become
fashionable. Some men take pride in wear
ing them as tokens Of their profession, as
soldiers do their scars. But bruises, black
OF blue, OF both, ought to have immediate
attention, for under them may be nerve
hurt OF muscle badly wrenched. A black
and blue bruise is a bad thing, not only
from its tender soreness but the confused
blood is prevention Of regular circulation.
While sore spots like these will not wash
out, there is something that will rub them
out in no time, and that is st. Jacobs Oil.
