CONGRESS MAY AID
INLAND WATERWAY
Resolution Asking Federal Help
for Lakes to Gulf Project
TO Be introduced

At the congress of the trans -Missis-
sippians, meeting on the shores of the
Pacific will be broached a movement to
aid the far eastern boundary of the
Mississippi valley and at the same time
to benefit the entire country tributary
to the big central river. Breckenridge
Jones, president of the Mississippi VAL
ley trust company of st. Louis, will pre-
sent to the congress resolution asking
national aid for the lakes to gulf
deep waterway project.
The state of Illinois is about to vote
on bond issue to supply funds to in
augurate the great idea of making II
foot passage for ships from Lake Michi-
gan to the gulf of Mexico. 1t is esti-
mated that the work would cost $780,
900, 900 and federal aid to the extent of
$4,000, 900 is to be asked for in the
Jones resolution.
The plan is for waterway IA feet
deep through the Chicago drainage
canal, the Illinois river, the Ohio river to
the Mississippi. 1t would make it pos
sible for deep water ships to sail from
Chicago down through the mouth of the
Missirpi to the gulf and to all seaports.
With the completion of the Panama
canal in sight the benefit to the Pacific
of such a waterway would be immense,
the supporters of the project argue.

APPROPRIATION FOR
IRRIGATION FAVORED
Fight Planned for Big Sum
From Government for Recla-
nation Work

That the national government should
appropriate money for the reclamation
service in accord with its present policy
of appropriating funds for river and
harbor improvements Is to be one Of the
campaigns to be carried on before the
convention which opens today From
all parts of the west the plan meets
approval Under the present law 50 per
cent of the money secured from the sale
of state public lands is placed in the
reclamation fund, but 1t is the expert
ence of the arid regions that the money
available from that source is not sufn-
cient. Prominent among those who will
lead the fight for national approprta-
tions are John C. Cutler of Utah, Attor-
ney General William II. Dickson. Colonel
Fred w. Fleming of Kansas City, Mo-;
Judge E. L. Scarritt of Missouri and
others.
Attorney General Dickson is in favor
of an outright appropriation, while
Fleming will speak for the issuance of
irrigation bonds, to be redeemed by the
proceeds from the sale of reclaimed
land. Attorney General Dickson said
yesterday:
for the irrigation service. Millions are
appropriated annually for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors. While we
do not ask such large sums to be set
aside for irrigation, there should be suf-
flcient to carry on the work faster than
it now is being done.
In regard to forestry, am In favor
of the government Withdrawing from
the reserves agricultural land that Is
now guarded from entry and opening 1t
to the public. The settlers can do more
to plant the land with trees and Gevelor
1t than the government can, and should
be given the opportunity. In other re-
spectsT am not antagonistic to the fed
eral forestry policy.
Colonel Fleming, chairman of the con-
gressional committee of the Mis-
sissippi congress and who represents
the Commercial club of Kansas City,
would have congress authorize bond
issue of s5O,000.OoO for Irrigation work.
He said:
The government has expended s40,-
000.000 on all irrigation projects. but
that sum is not nearly enough to meet
the demands of the growing country. |
would have congress authorize a bond
issue of $50.000,000 additional. The
bonds would be amply protected by the
land which would be improved, and as
the land was sold the Indebtedness
would be paid off. The government
would simply go security for district.
Colonel Fleming, who acquired his
military title in the Spanish-American
war; is to play an Important part in the
congress. Besides being an authority on
irrigation movements, he is an expert
on insurance matters. Wednesday he is

SMILES ARE THE WORLDS RIGHT.

What's the use of sitting all the
laughs and smiles and good thoughts
that are inside you? Heaven knows
there are in the world tears enough
that can't be helpedi Whenever you
feel like laughing, go ahead and laugh,
says the April New Idea, editorially.
When you feel like singing go ahead and
sing out good and loud. 1t will break
the clouds of the worry-disturbed at
mosphere; it will shake away the miser-
able little troubles that come hanging
around, bothering one and interrupt
ing and making fuses all the time.
Don't let trouble down you. Put on
your steel armor of good thoughts.
Get out your broomstick of optimism
and when Trouble comes along hit him
one big, beautiful swoop. Then run
away so he can't catch you. Don't
laugh-this isn't a joke, it's "for
real"
Some people have a fool idea that to
keep young and happy is to be regard
less of the serious matters of life. But
ShS ASoi oSiiOuS iIldIJeT IN lie is 10 be
courageous. Force yourself to say the
pleasant, bright things that come to
your mind.
Hard? OF course it isl But it is a
good fight, this one against allowing
ones self to be submerged in personal
griefs, and out of it you can come n
conqueror if you will.
But there is always a remedy for a
heavy heart. 1t may be in good, hard,
all-absorbing ork-itoftenest is.
1t may be in thinking out the JOYS
that have been given to you, and the
sorrows from which you have been
saved.
1t may be in helping others by sympa-
thy or in whatever way help is most
needed, in forgetting self entirely, and
in remembering and relieving the needs
of others as far as possible, or in think
ing out what the future holds until
your heart grows light and the world
seems full of sunshine.

WHY?

The Staunton Dispatch draws very
nice distinction when it acquits the mo-
tives of the Governor in nominating
Judge Rhea for the State Corporation
Commission, and of the members of the
Legislature in confirming the nomina-
tion, and selects Judge Mann alone by
name for its censure. Impliedly. the
other eight members of the committee
majority are not arraigned as publicly
and as personally as Judge Mann is by
the Dispatch. Now, is there any
ground in reason or justice for aspers-
ing Judge Mann's motives more than
the motives of the rest of the majority
of the investigating committee, or of
Governor Swanson, who. not only
made the nomination, but who went on
the stand and justified it by his per-
sonal and official knowledge of the
nominee, or of the members of the
Legislature who voted for the confir-
nation with full knowledge of the
testimony and after elaborate discus
sion of it in joint session? Not one of
these gentlemen, We dare say, will
shrink from any responsibility for his
part in this matter, or will seek immu-
nifty from any censure justly applicable
to Judge Mann. They would scorn to
do so. But why, of all these repre-
sentative and responsible gentlemen, is
Judge Mann alone to be censured? 1t
is because he is a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination? That's the
only difference between him and the
rest that we can discover. Index-Ap-

Some people say they only believe
half they hear, but it is usually the
half that isn't true. Some folks say
they only believe what they see, but
they don't believe a hundredth part OF
what they see with their eyes, because
it is the mind that sees. Having eyes
ye see not' is true of most of US. The
greatest forces in the universe are in
visible to our eyes, like the law OF
