A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in the home,

The soul is safe in heaven.

The baseball season is nearing its
end for the year with few fatalities
to the credit of the game. The fact
recalls that of all the sports that are
generally engaged in either profess
sionally or for pleasure, baseball, in
proportion TO he interest and the
number of men engaged has the
smallest death rate. Boxing, football,
polo racing and other forms OF pro-
fessional or amateur sport cause
more deaths in proportion; athletics
of various kinds, in which physical
endurance is the sxeat essential. are
all more dangerous and brutalizing
than baseball 1t is notable too that
most of the deaths resulting to base
bali players come in semirprofessional
and amateur games. Very few of
them are among professional players.
1t is regretIable that all game sports
are not less hazardous than they are

THE USE OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

Superficial observers of recent wa.
ter way history in this country tell US
with great solemnity and assurance
that the days Of the water ways
|are over. They argue that be-
cause some unhappy Hennepin
Canal, Matched at tn end of
one stage of transportation, de-
yelopment and haltingly completes
late in another stage, is a failure, all
water ways will be failures. They
are supported, of course, by men bias
ed in favor of other means of trans
portation
Persons who have more carefully
studied the subject are convinced
both by anology from European coun,
tries and by analysis of existing faci,-
tiles in this country, that water ways
with us have great future, and that
as soon as they are developed on the
right lines they will find certain class
es of service which they can perform
continuously in competition with the
railways, or, perhaps better put, in
supplement to the railways.
Now that this view is gaining ground
and that it begins to appear probable
that the Illinois and Mississippi river
valleys will soon be improved by the
federal government, the bolder spirits
among water way advocates are com
ing to think that they can make a sue
cess of transportation lines even with
conditions just as they are today
They are at least certain that the
country will not allow its river and
canal courses to deteriorate; and even
this certainty has not been felt until
recently.
One project for organizing a com
pany to establish a line of steamers
and barges to ply between st. Louis
and New York was announced some
time ago, The details of another on
even a broader scale backed by mei
prominent in water way agitation, in.
GLIDING some Chicagoans, have Just
been made public. It's plans for the
future include specially constructed
steamers which can use both inland
water ways and the ocean, and so go
rom Chicago to Atlantic or South
American ports. For the immediate
present it hopes to make success of
barges and tugs which will come to
La Sale on the Illinois, and there con.
meet with railroads to Chicago, or

even perhaps use the old Illinois and
Michigan canal for some Chicago
traffic.
One must not have too high hopes
of the success of such company. es-
pecially in the northern part of the
route it intends to cover. But the
fact that good busienss men are ready
to put up large sums of money at
once for the project makes the future
of water way development in the
Mississippi Valley look brighter than
