1 tied. or to come in contact with great senators. for they were dead-mOst of them.
 Looking back over the intervening
 threescore years. it must be confessed that while the great Missourian was statesman Of the first rank, he at least on that occasion missed the
 mark sadly as a prophet. for many great problems and many great sen ators have arisen since then; and some of these problems. important enough to have engaged the mighty energies of Benton himself. remain for our settlement Among these one of the most important and far-reach- 1 ing is the adequate improvement of our rivers. God has given us the most
 magnificent system of inland water
 ways possessed by any nation in the world. and we have done less to util-
 ize them. This is the most mex plicable thing in our history. more in applicable even than our wantOn waste 4 of our natural resources. If any oth- CT great nation on earth had owned our rivers. they would have been long ago so improved as to constitute its most valuable asset.
 At last the American people have become aroused to the importance, even the absolute necessity, of an adequate and comprehensive system of river improvement, for at last they are awaking to a realization that water transportation is not only the cheapest possible, but is also reg ulator of railroad freight rates. This ,r@el,f largely through the National Rivers and HarbOrs Congress. It. more than any other agency, has created that public opinion which congress must find ways and means to put into force That great and laudabie asso- citation began to make substantial headway when it started in to edu cate the public in favor of an ade- quate and comprehensive system of the improvement of all our waterways rather than in favor of particular prof ects The public having been educat- ed in that regard, it would appear that the time for talk Is past. and the time for action has arrived.
 Tt only remains for congress to de- ter1nine how much money shall be de- voted to this vast and beneficent en- terprise. how much of 1t shall be eX- pended annually, and, finally, how to raise the money. Of course, if the necessary annual expenditure can be made from the annual revenues with out excessive taxation, it should be done. but if that cannot be accom- plished. public opinion more and more . tends toward a system of bond issues for river improvement. If all unneces- sary appropriations could be cut off, even the present revenues would be adequate for the improvement of our rivers. Economy in the public eX
 pense and river improvement should go hand in hand. Then bond issue would be entirely unnecessary"

 SLAUGHTER HOUSE
CITY COUNCIL TAKES ACTION.
City Attorney Asked to Devise Means
 Of Having Nuisance Abated.

A huge petition asking for the re- mOv2l of the Hurley-Tribolet slaugh- ter house, as a public nuisance, was presented to the city council at the regular meeting last night The pc tition was signed by S75 residents and property owners of the district It was presented by Attorney P. H. Hayes. who addressed the council in behalf of the petitioners.
 Hayes defined the powers of the council in the matter and said that they had a perfect right to order the removal of the slaughter house with out passing an ordinance, and that they could, if they wished, further restrict the placing of slaughter houses to a five mile limit beyond the corporate limits of the city. He said that the Hurley Tribolet slaugh- ter house is within a quarter of a mile of the city limits and that the stench sometimes reaches as far as Center street. He urged immediate action by the council to abate the evil as a public nuisance and as a menace to the public health. He was supported by a number of the resi- dents of the district, many of whom were women, who were willing to testify in behalf of the petition
 Councilman Marshall moved that the matter be referred to the city at torney and that he be requested to

The Address of Dr.. David Starr Jor-
 dan Before the Peace Congress.

Chicago. May S-"Jeder krieg verschling immer die besten" (ever the war devours the best). These words, which were written by the German poet Schiller, q century ago, formed the theme of an address at the opening of the national peace congress here today by David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford University.
 Tt is through selection that all race progress comes." said Dr. Jordan. War means always the reversal of the selection.
 The survival of the fittest in the struggle for existence is the primal moving cause of race progress and race changes. In the red stress of human history this process of selec- ton is sometimes reversed. A re- versal of selection is the beginning of degradation. It is depreciation it. self. 9
 The only way in which any race as a whole has improved has been through the preservation of its best and the loss of it's worst examples. The condition that fayors this is democracy. equality before the law, the condition which equalizes oppor- tunity and gives each man the right to stand or fall on the powers God has given him"

April 29.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)- Ever since his election to the fifty third congress. and long before that, Champ Clark, of Missouri, the dis tinguished leader of the minority in the house of representatives. has been an enthusiastic advocate of improving the rivers of our country to meet the growing demands of trade and com merce.
