A MATTER OF TONGUE

MATTER OF TONGUE
Our English Is 9 funny tongue, rs any
one can see;
Now listen as I quote you these-why
should such things be?
You tako swim in creek or sea; then
properly you've swum;
But when you trim your finger nails, you
can't say that they're trum.
A top you spin If you're boy. and then
the top Is spun;
But II you skin an animal you may not
call Il skun.
If something you should cen forget, It
clearly Is forgotten;
But If you place a little bet, the money
is not botten.
The sentence that you speak 'tis right to
say It has been spoken;
But If you soak your winter coat, that
coat is never soaken.
No more, though what you seek you say
correctly 1t is sought;
If you some ones proboscis tweak you
never say tits Wrought.
No house we let is lotten, nor is upset
eer upsotten;
Yet with me you must fain agree this
talk of ours is rotten!

FROM CHICAGO BY WATER

People of Southern California, par
ticularly shippers and merchants are
reading with considerable interest the
accounts of a movement on the part OF
Mississippi valley states to deepen the
great river from Chicago to New Or
leans. so that there may be a service
able waterway from the lakes south
ward to the gulf.
1t is a mighty enterprise, wholly de-
serving Of all the effort and all the
money that can be exerted and pro-
cured i'm its behalf. 1t has been n
dream of statesmen and commercial In.
terests for half century, and the time
seems to be approaching when 1t can
be realized. Since the days when Father
Marquette, Pierre Laclede and the
French voyageurs discovered the path
way across the Illinois territory to St.
Louis, there has existed a growing hope
in the minds of valley people that some
day the products of the valley could he
shipped all the way by water to the
seaboards. Since the Civil War this
hope has been gradually expanding,
buoyed on by the construction of the
Hennopin canal out of Chicago, and
the occasional running of war vessels
up the river from New Orleans to St.
Louis
In November last memorable water
ways convention was held in st. Louis,
at which the motto of fourteen feet
through the valley" was adopted, and
the government for recognition of the
plan to deepen the river. AS a result of
that convention the valley congress-
men are beseiging congress to appro-
pirate funds for the beginning of the
enterprise Unfortunately the move
ment has encountered a powerful enemy
in the person of Congressman Burton
of Ohio, who happens to be chairman of
the committee on rivers and harbors
and in position to postpone for years
any forward movement of the plan.
Mr. Burton declares the slogan of
fourteen feet through the valley" to
be senseless and chimerical. 1t evil
IDENTIFY reminds him of the days when
"Silver Dick" Bland was appealing to
Sunset" CoX-then chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee-to allow
an appropriation for the Missouri river,
and Cox made his now famous answer:
Il will agree to an appropriation for
the Missouri river if YOU will agree
that the money shall be applied to
macadamizing that stream"
Mr.. Burton SHES at fourteen feet in
the Mississippi and yet allows millions
of money for thirty feet at Philadelphia
and even forty feet out of New York
harbor. He has allowed millions for
the Improvement of little jerkwater
streams in Maine, Massachusetts and
Ohio, but when it comes to making
navigable for ships the greatest river
in the world, so that it may carry the
products and commerce of the greatest
grain valley in the world, it seems too
gigantic an enterprise for his mind to
grasp.
Time has been when California re
ceived it's supplies around the Horn.
With the opening of the Panama canal
and the deepening of the Mississippi
river, ships could ply between Chicago
and Los Angeles, or st. Louis and Los
Angeles, and save millions of money tc
producers, shippers and merchants
Once get headway on these great under
takings and the backbone of the rail-
road trusts and mergers would be for
ever broken.
