Ii was with no little disappoint-

Of Vicksburg read of the withdrawal
of the Greenville boat, Belle of the
Bends, from the river trade, and in
the midst OF the shipping season.
The more they reflect upon the situ-
alton thus cheated the less agreeable
it appeared The dissatisfaction
thus created has finally eliminated

highway of the Atlantic ocean is open
between these two points it is rather
hard TO see what profit there could
be in running ships between the main
land and the sand pits that skirt the
coast instead of on the high sea.
Compared to the Mississippi pro-
ject the idea becomes ridiculous. 1t is
to be seriously urged upon congress
however, apparently as sort of
protest of the East against the CON
struction of the proposed (and per-
haps practicable) Mississippi canal.
AS an example of the far-fe4ched and
fantastical objections which will be
brought against the lakes-to-t the gulf
project it is gravely stated that one
of the oldest treaties with Great Brit
ain restricts the construction of war

Canadian seaports would become an
easy prey to American war vessels

uation would be created the moment
the first keel plows through the pro-
posed waterway into the lakes This
is trivial, of course, but is representa-
tive of the spirit in which the canal
is regarded in the seaport centre of
the Atlantic coast The fact seems to
be that that section of the country IS
under the impression that there is
nothing OF importance West of the
Allegheny mountains. The opposi-
ton to the canal grows out of rail-
way, jealousies, and has its root in
the greed of Eastern corporations
and capitalists. 1t IS project to
benefit the people of the country gem

MILLIONS
IN 1T"

Current Literature says the Presi-
ment OF rivers and narbors is big
enough to startle the imagination of
Beriah Sellers" Beria1 it will be
remembered, was the gentleman who
turnips and cold water.
Current Literature is published in
New York and it may be inferred
that it voices the sentiments (and
prejuddces) Of the East in regard to
the deep water canal. The project
does resemble those of Col. Sellers in
that there's millions in it" 1t will
cost millions, to be sure. but its earn
ngs after completion stagger conpu
tation. Even in its present partially
navi gable condition, the Mississippi
and its tributaries float o,6oS vessels,
which transported last year 2o,S4o, Coz
tons of freight and nearly I4,ooo, 900
passengers.
The increase IN the value of rioe-
traffic is slow, to be sure, and neces-
sarily so; but what it is and does
frlder the most Instantaneous CON
ditions is only an evidence Of whwat
it could and would do were these con-
ditfons made comparable, even in a
small degree, to those which exist on
every navigable river of every civil
lizcd country on earth.
The project will meet with bitter
opposition, of course. Congressman

INSURING FOOT
BALL GAMES

Thus far this season three Ameri-
can youths nave died from injuries
There have been no fatalities among
the students of the larger colleges
the best opponents of the game as
the list OF injuries is shorter and less
serious than has been the average for
years past. Undoubtedly this is due
to the more open style of playing
that prevails under the new rules
The English are wont to regard
football as played in the British Isles
and colonies as less strenuou than
the American game, and boast that
there Is far less peril to the player
Notwithstanding this, a football in
surance company has been organized
in London, starting with I.256 play
ers insured by the clubs to which
they belong at S. each.
Football players in England are
regarded as coming within the Work
ingman's Compensation act, which
went into effect early last summer.
Under this law an employer is re-
sponsible to an employee who IS in
iure.s in the ordinary course of his
employment 1t will thus be seen
that in England football player is
a workman; in this country he IS re-
garded as sportsman.
May American football continue as
sport and never degenerate into n
trade

A Child's Thought of God.

They say that God lives very high;
But if you look above the pines;
You cannot see our God; and why?
And if you dig down in the mines,
You neevr see him in the gold:
Through him all that's glork shines
glory shines.
God is so good he wears fold
OF heaven and earth across his
lace
Like secrets kept for love, untold,
But still l feel that his embrace
Slides down by thrills through all
things made,
Through sight and sound OF every
place.
As if my tender mother laid,
On my shut lips her kisses pres
Half waking me at night, said
who kissed you through the dark,
dear guesses?'
