The big drainage canal recently
opened at Chicago, is one OF the
most extensive engineering feats o.
the day. 1t taps lake Michigan, car.
ries the water through the Illinois
and Des splaines rivers to the Miss is
sippi and on to the gulf and ocean.
1t was designed originally to sim
ply carry off the sewage OF Chicago,
but the enterprise was extepded sui
ficiently to also make it ship
canal, connecting Lake Michigan
with the Mississippi. This might be
sufficiently important water way
some time for Uncle Sam to take
hold of and enlarge. The canal cost
$33, ,OOO,O 900 and has taken seven
years to complete the work.

Our friends of opposite political
faith have had great deal to say
abont "McKinley's inhuman war"
in the Philippines, and sticking our
nose into affairs over there. Under
the conditions by which this country
became responsible for the Phillip
pines, of course there is no merit TO
such criticism. 1t is merely po litical
opposition. But the absurdity OF
the "aunty" position in this matter
is so cleverly pointed out by the
democratic Sioux City Tribune, that
any one will readily recognize it:
"The humor and the absurdity OF
the doings OF the Sioux Falls 'Ameri-
can league can hardly escape the
public. The league is against the
Philippine war, against expansion,
and wants to haul down the flag.
After resolving in this line the league
calls on the government to intercede
i'm the South Africa war. Get out OF
the Philippines and get into Africa
Get out where we haye business and
get in where we have none"
