Grabbing the Mississippi.

and the Cults magnificent dream
which great many people are working
TO realize. Governors and legislatures of
the valley States Nave approved it; great
associations OF commerce have called
upon Congress to take action; the people
have passed large bond issues in its aid.
Yet the great waterway remains still a
dream; even its future establishment is
doubtful. A dozen practical difficulties
stand in the way. Army engineers report
unfavorably. President Taft advises eau
ton and DELAY Great business interests
block the project in hun 1red ingenious
and devious ways
Meanwhile-an that without either
doubt or delay-the Mississippi River is
at various points along its course, being
turned into a mill pond for the produc
ton of electric water power by great pr
vate corporations. If Congress and thu.
authorities at Washington find themselves
for whatever reason-unable TO do an
thing in the direction of making The.

The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-08-24

A certain young man has accepted an
appointment by Gov. Hughes TO a public
Office in New York State, though two
banks would eagerly have elected him
president at a salary from three 10 five
times his present one. He is not count
ing on graft. either. to swell his present
income. for he is clean clear through.
His record is one to be proud Of.
and It is the product Of a character
which both political friends and enemies
know stands us a rock against all dis
honest practices. But in discussing the
step. he says that he considers he is
making an invetmeut for the future
1t takes a level head, a clear vision,
and lot of courage thus to turn down
such a large immediate. and apparently
sure gain for a far-off, yet seemingly
greater advantage. Not many young
men would do II. Few women would do
It. The gain that is right at hand so
fills the whole vision that few can see
how the other will grow.
Yet It pays to take this long look ahead
and invest for the future as well as for
the present. It will pay many a person
to take It right now. In a week or two.
many will be starting into business. New
positions viii open for those already en-
ployed. The business world is stirring
with fresh life. a new season Is at hand
