CRITICISES WORK OF POE.
DR.. Simon Says "The Raven" Does
Not Teach Wholesome Lesson.

The Raven" was criticised by DIR.
Abram Simon at the Eighth Street Tenn
pie last evening. "Quoth the raven. new
ermore." was the text
The answer Of the raven" DR.. Simon
said is unsatisfactory TO the human
heart. The eternal denial which it for
BODIES is not a message to progressive
civilization. The bird that is a midnight
prowler cannot satisfy the yearning heart.
A bird Of superstition is not acceptable. -
DIR. Simon declared that Poe was the
poet Of the haunted house, and that no
normal man would care to live in a
haunted house.

Willis F. Johnson Declares Trans
portation Facilities Inadequate.
In an Address Before National Geo
graphic Society He Tells some
Interesting Facts.

Upon the waterways development OF
the United States the future prosperity
of the country will depend" declared
Willis F. johnson before tho National
Geographic Society in New Masonic
Temple last evening. The prediction was
based upon the theories that without such
development the transportation facilities
Of the country would be inadequate and
the trade competition Of the Old World
countries, which are ramifed with water
ways. would make itself felt Mr.. John
son spoke on the subject, Waterways Of
empire" a large audience heard him.
In striking contrast with the neglected
waterway building in the United States,
Mr.. Johnson said, was Germany's project
ed water highway from her Atlantic sea
board to the Black Sea, which Will cost
more than S240,00o,OO0. and the contem-
plated canal in France from the Bay OF
Biscay to the Mediterranean. Even
Canada, de declared, with her Georgian
Bay plans. was in advance of the United
States in this matter.
Three principles, the speaker said, must
be observed in the development OF a wa
terway system in the United States.
Every waterway should, II possible, be
made navigable, and canals be ca
connect river systems; all wate-,eays
should be standardized so as TO admit OF
the passage OF boats from one canal or
river 20 another. and railroads and canals
should be regarded as supplemental car
rIer agencies, and not competitive.
In support OF the last-named principle,
Mr.. johnson said Germany, which owns
waterways and railroads, built trunk
lines and canals side by side Also. he
said. the Kanawha River, in West Vir-
ginia, had, with its improvement. enor-
mously increased It's tonnage and the
competing railroad had increased its
