While it is a notorious fac
that the Republican platform
was. prepared in the White
House, there was no plank il
it favoring publicity for CAN
paign contributions. Bu
more significant still is ths
facts that when 9 resolution
was submitted to the conven
ton providing for the inser-
ton Of slllch a plank it was
voted down by an overwhelm
ing vote. It must be evident
to every clear thinking man
: in the country that if either
the President or Theodore
Roosevelt were sincerely in
favor of publicity for cam
paign contributions such a
declaration would have been
embodied in the platform.

FOES OF THE LEvEEs.
Sources Of Danger to the Artificial
f725 Banks Along the Mississippi.

Sources Of Danger to the Artificial
Banks Along the Mississippi.
.People who know little about our
system of levees, the artificial banks
built to confine the flood waters that
pour into the Mississippi no doubt
imagine that the heavy rains are the
only enemy with which the levees have
to contend" said a Baton Rouge man.
"On the contrary, the levees, both
during times Of flood and low water,
are subject to the incessant attacks Of
living foes, the destructive work Of
which costs millions Of dollars. These
foes are alligators, turtles, muskrats,
field rats, fresh water terrapin and
crawfish. OF all these burrowers that
prey on the levees, excavating within
them goodly chambers or tunnels, the
crawfish do the most damage, with the
turtles and terrapins a good second.
The harm done by the alligators is
comparatively small.
"In repairing the banks crawfish
holes are often found of immense size
It is these hollow spaces that in time
of freshets cause a caving in and break
Of the levees, which Of course bring
on an inundation Of all the adjacent
country. The worst part Of the bust
| ness Is that no way Of DISCRIMINATING
these pests has yet been found, and
the only thing to be done is to try t.
| keep them away from the banks as
| much ais possible. Baltimore Ameri
