President Roosevelt's entrance into
the activities of the political contest has
produced something of whirlwind cam.
paign of lengthy letters by distinguished
candidates and others more or less di.
rectly connected with the national con-
test. The president announced his in
tention of infusing some ginger into
what had been a rather dull campaign,
and he met with eminent success,
though some of the resulting product
partook rather of the nature OF pepper
than of ginger. Perhaps it is just as
well that there is now q lull in the
storm Of epistles.

cannot be called a very complete record.

my next journey would be toward home,
he said we would ride out TO Trap Cor.

was accomplished, much to our delight,
and on reaching the Greenwood road, on
our return, Mr.. Benson a]ighted, thank

stead of stopping at the mill Mr.. Willis
drove on nearly a mile farther, then

such cooperation can the people
hope for waterway system within
any reasonable time in the future.
Illinois is peculiarly favored in the
! development of waterway system.
She has coast line upon the Miss
issippi the Ohio, the Wabash and
Lake Michigan, of $50 miles, nearly
surrounding the state. In the Hi.
nois waterway and Hennepin canal
she has 420 miles of waterway under
development. The topography of the
State is singularly favorable to 4
domestic waterway development. like
that of France and Germany, and on
this basis the future population and
resources will justify 1920 miles more.
or an aggregate of 800 miles. Hi.
nois has more resources in soil and In
minerals to feed such waterway sys-
TEN than any other State in the
Union.
Illinois Is also most favored IN the
expansion of a waterway system. We
have the great artery of the lakes to
be expanded to the Atlantic seaboard
as well as deep water to be developed
to the Gulf. The Upper Mississippi.
the Missouri, the Ohio, the Cumber.
land and the Tennessee, come to our
shores from remote regions, and we
sit at the head of the great alluvial
plain with its many tributaries extend
ing to the Gulf.
Great wealth may be added to the
State through the development of !
waterways in her valleys. Nearly |
en- per cent of the lands of the State
ire alluyial, and to be reclaimed or
protected from overflow water powers |
nay be developed along the rivers
md the water supply regulated and in.
reased by reservoirs. These develop.
nents should be Incidental to a wat
rway system, and the ownership lodg.
d in the State. Water and the power
o be derived therefrom belongs to
he common domain, like the air. the
unlight and the dew, the seas. the
Ish and the game. and the possible
monopoly thereof in the future is
more to avoid than any other
tility which may be created by the
ufferance of the state.
The adoption of this amendment
fill mean that the State will get the
'rofit on the water power instead of
orporate interests.
