We have almost reached the conclu- sion that the reason those censors re- fuse to give Poe place in their Hall of Fame Is that they know he would stand above any other name that is or win be there. They simply don't want his literary superiority to be made so prominent on the waiiss although it is above all others in the judgment of impartial judges.

Referring to the proposition to form one State out of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, The Manchl7ter Union de- State increases the inequality and con- sequent injustice of the representation in the national Senate. as fixed by com promise in the constitution. State government is unwieldly and difficult of administration where cities and area. Increase in population serves only to make the matter worse, since territorial areas remain unchanged. If Oklahoma and Indian Territory are ad- mitted to Statehood, the rational meth cd would seem to be to admit each as a to the list of immense and unjustly represented bodies politic."
 This Is one of the anomalies of our system. brought about through the dissensions and compromises of the original Constitutional Convention. Texas is about one hundred and thirty times as large as Delaware and has more than sixteen times the popula- tion; New York Is forty times as large as Rhode Island with seventeen times the population, yet these States ali have the same influence and weight in the Senate of the United States when 1t comes to voting. There are other in- capabilities nearly as great and now they are trying to ring in still another by consolidating two large territories into a single State. It begins to look as If that will be done. or that there will be no new State there, but 1t will be hard to prove that it is just and right.

In the early days there was rcgu-
lar line Of packets between st. Louis
and st. Joseph, all side wheelers, and
the average round trip occupied eight
DAYS. A boat left St. Louis every day
Tor the Missouri river, and as there
were, fourteen boats in the line each
boat made round trip once every two
weeks during the season. During the
winter the boats ran between st. Louis
and New Orleans.
Coming up the river the boats ran
Ill night, but in going down they al.
ways laid up as soon as darkness set
IN. In going down the river the boats
ususfly left st. Joseph early in the
afternoon and laid up for the night at
Weston, where there was always lot
OF freight to load. The next day they
went to Lexington. the next to Boon
Vile and the next to st. Louis. Occa-
sionally during high water boat
would leave Lexington MT daylight and
reach st. Louis In time for breakfast
the next morning.
Tie boats Carried from 200 to 400
passengers on the trip up the river,
counting the immigrants on the deck,
but going back they only had cabin
passengers The cabin fare from st.
Louis to st. Joseph ranged from $40
to SIS, which Included meals and state
room. The boats were all supplied
with fine cooks, and the passengers
live,l on the best that money could
buy,
Tie average boat carried 500 to 600
tons Of freight in addition to passenr
GERS During low water freight that
now costs 20 cents hundred cost $3.50

trip from st. Louis to st. Joseph, in
GLIDING loading and unloading, was es
timated at $4,000, and the income from
cos: to $1,000. Each boat carried a
CREW of from 50 to 100 men, The aver
age value Of the boats In the line was
probably $4,000 each.
The boats were often on sand bars,
where they sometimes remained for a
day and night, but altogether the time
wal, made surprisingly we'll. A pilot
wh., had reputation for keeping his
boat of the bars commanded as high

vided with two pilots, and this expense
usually amounted to from 5000 to ST.,
600 month. All river pilot saved

tell high priced pilot by the size Of

rafting good first mate who knew how
to handle a boat after it struck a bar
received $3.50 q month.

ment, and 1t was not an uncommon
sight to see eight or ten games going
at the same time In the main cabin Of

fed that Jones wrote letters to a man
