River Navigation.

A government census report on the
vessels exceeding five tons on the Mis-
sissippi river and its tributaries, cover
ing last year, makes the total 9,69S
without including fishing craft. These
vessels, with an aggregate tonnage or
100000, are valued at $23,5OO,OOO,
handled 20,000,000 tons of freight, car
ried 10000 passengers and had in
come for the year ended with last De
cember OF $17,600,000. These figures
are a sufficient answer to the charge
that there is nothing doing on the wa
ters of the Mississippi valley. lonely
stretch on some river where neglect
has demoraIized water traffic is mis-
leading basis on which to form a gen.
eral Judgment That the waterways
have been sighted is true, but that
commerce has deserted or condemned
them is a wholly erroneous notion.
What the western rivers need, adds
the st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat, are chan
nels open the year round and boats
best adapted to the economies of trans
portation. Until the permanent chan
.nels are assured the boats will not be
built. 1t does not pay to tie up boat:
on account of low water discharge the
crews, and be subject to the heavy
losses of delay. The cause on such
fatal Interruptions to business can be
removed by river Improvement, and
the American people have resolved
that the obstruction shall be ended
Although the depth of water in the Mis-
sissippi and its branches is but little
different from that originally provided
by nature, nearly 10000 craft manage
to pick up living. The river trade is
not dead, though waiting for the time
when it will have a chance to be thor
oughly alive. It's magnitude then vii
surprise the world when the census de
partment presents the facts.

Direct Primary Law Needed.

Candidates for Office and their po-
litical lieutenants take some rather
interesting views of the knockout by
the supreme court decision of the Hi
nois primary law enacted by the last
legislature. The law was makeshift
and was anything but satisfactory TO
the people.
What Illinois wants says the Spring
field Register and what this state
should have is an absolutely direct
primary law, placing nominations en-
tirely in the hands of the people.
The democracy of Illinois has fought
in vain for such law, and now tina
the makeshift law has been knocked
out, the legislature should, at the ap
preaching of the deep waterway ses
sion, enact direct primary law.
What the politicians want SHOULD
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1907-10-07

not govern. But with this republican
legislature, made up largely of republi-
can professional politicians, it is very
probable that the demands of the poll
ticians will be given greater attention
than the demands of the people.
Governor Deneen should, and per.
haps will, send a special message to
the legislature on this subject, demand
ing the enactment of the right kind
of law The legislature should re
spond by enacting law that is com
plete and comprehensive and that can
stand the scrutiny of the court.
The democrats of Illinois stood with
the people in the matter of a direct
primary law, and the democratic mem
bers of the legislature stood almost
solidly in opposition to the unconsti
tutiona. unreasonable and ineffective
law which has been knocked out when
it was up for passage in the legisla
ture
Now let the legislature take thI
democrats into their counsel, and lei
law be enacted that will meet the
demands of the people.

the road to Ventura and Santa Barba-

been completed over the Piru ford Is
one of the few bridges in the world
expressly built for automobile traffic
There is another like it at Torrance

be the only ones in America. 1t con.
sists really of two tracks across the
stream. each wide enough to carry an
automobile wheel with plenty of mar.
gin for bad steering. For safety the
sides of the track are built up so that
wheel cannot slip off. The tracks
are wide enough for passage by people
but no wagons can go over. Perhaps
the best feature of bridge of this
kind is that cattle cannot use it.

MOONLIGHT IN MUSIC.
Story of How Beethoven Created His
Wonderful Sonata.

BeethOven'S famous composition, the
moonlight Sonata" is said to have
been composed under the following cir
cumstanceS:
One evening as Beethoven and a
friend We're hurryinS through the
streets of Bonn they heard the famil-
lar notes of the sonata In T." Some
thing in the musicians touch attracted
the attention of Beethoven, and he
stopped and listened. Suddenly the
music stopped, and the despairing
words of the musician came to them
through the open window, 'Oh. if l
could but hear some really good mu-
stefan play this wonderful piece" and
the words ended in Il sob.
Let lis go in." said Beethoven. They
entered and found the player Il young
girl, poor and blind. Beethoven sat
down at the old harpsichord and play
ed as he had never played before. His
listeners We're spellbound. Tell u.s.
they begged, "who are you?" For an
swer he played the opening bars in the
Sonata In F." 1T is Beethoven
they exclaimed in awe and admiration
Suddenly the candle fiickered and
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
and bowed his head upon his hand
His friend threw open the shutters. A
flood of beautiful moonlight entered
the room. Its transtiguring light touch
ed up the poor old instrument and rest
ed upon the noble figure bowed before
it. The profound silence was broken
at last by the musician, who said: Lis
ten. / will improvise sonata to the
moonlight, Then was created this won
derful sonata, beginning i'll n sad, ten
der movement. the embodiment In
sound of the gentle moonlight transfig
uring and clarifying the dark earth.
Suddenly the music ceased, and witt
a brief farewell Beethoven hurried
home to put upon paper this famous
composition.

Antiouitv of Tennis.

Among all the popular games of to
day none perhaps is of greater an
tiquity than tennis, for it is said tc
have originated in the ball games of
the ancient Greeks and Romans. In
the first place the ball was struck by
the hand, later on heavy gloves were
worn or cords strapped round the palm
and the racket was contrived during
the fifteenth century. in France, where
