EXTRACTS from an address given be-
fore the convention of the Rock River
Improv enent association at Rockford
last week.
I'VE who are here assembled are not
afflicted with the Infection known as
deep water craze. Such disease, if
there is one, is confined to the people
living along the banks of the Illinois
and the lower Mississippi river.
I'VE are for the improvement of our
western waterways, and this associa-
ton stands for the improvement of
the Rock river from Sterling to Lake
Horizon, a sane. easy and practical
proposition.
Our interest, affection or afliction
is not the symptom of a newly discov-
cred disease. but the natural growth
of a practical idea conceived over 10
years ago, which, although semi-dor-
mant for these many years, hypnotized
as we might say by the rapid and ire
mendous strides of the railroad age,
has at length awakened from it's coma,
and realizing present and future needs,
is now working for practical and GER
tain ends, which we believe will re-
suit in the greatest good to not only
the people who live on the Rock river.
but also to all who reside within so
miles of its banks.
at may interest some to know that
the Improvement of Rock river. max
ing it a navigable stream at all times
during the navigation season, is not
one of the so-called popular crazes.
Where Townsend Erred.
"In 1903 Major c. Med. Townsend

HE GIVES HIS REASONS.
Grand junction. Feb. 2, 1910

Grand Junction, Feb. 2, 1910.
Editor Sentinel:
Dear Sir:-You ask why food pro-
duets are exported at less price than
domestic consumers must pay. IL
you will permit brief explanation
we will begin by asserting that 1t is
compulsory that we export, and we
can not get more for our products
than the market price where they
are consigned. Humlliating as IL
may be to our people ii Is compulsory
because foreign financiers assisted by
our government make ii So 1t is too
long a story to show clearly how II
Is done. 1t has been the practice of
our exporters to sell cheaper to for
eigners than to Americans and II is
done to sustain rotten financial
system which looks to be purposely
maintained to make the laborer keep
his place. 1t gives him his choice of
accepting a lower stage of life, or
trying to live without n job.
His wages do not rise as fast as
the cost of living and he boycotts
meat or does without some other
necessity. He dare not strike for the
same reason that the President is
urged to iet railroads and trusts
alone,-it would unsettle business
and bring on a crisis.
There are few in this country who
understand the real situation. The
deluge is approaching at rapid rate.
Public resentment is aroused. Pub
lie knowledge of the science of gov
ernment is in the kindergarten stage.
We have the congressional record in
which every word our legislators
(mostly trust agents) utter is re-
corded We have no publication in
which the American sovereign can
discuss matters of government with
his fellow sovereign so as to come
In touch with them for united action
for the common good.
