OHIO NAKIGABLE FEW
WEEKS in THE YEAR NOW
FORTY YEARS AGO RIVER WAS
NAvioAslE IS WEEKS IN
THE YEAR.
Change In the Weather Conditions
Has Been Remarkable During
This Period.

Veteran river men and older resi-
dents OF Wheeling. In discussing riv-
er conditions yesterday. recalled the
early period Of steamboating on the
Ohio. when In those days the Ohio
was navigable As weeks OF the year
During the sixties the Ohio was one
OF the most navigable rivers In Amer
ios. and navigation was open from
Pittsburg to the mouth practically
the entire year. During those days
there were three times as many pack
cts operating in the local trade as
there are to-day.
While the tonnage was not so
heavy as IL is now. the boats were
able to navigate nearly the entire
year. and did not have TO buck the
railroad lines that are now stretched
over the continent. Al present the
river is hardly navigable more than
fifteen or twenty weeks in a year.
and as a result steamboating Is not
the paying venture that II was years
ago. As a result. there are fewer
boats in the Ohio trade. II is the
opinion of many of the river men
that tho destroying OF timber on the
watersheds and headwaters of the
Ohio ad her tributaries is largely due
20 the change in the river. while the
changes in weather conditions also
| largely figure i'm the change. When
| the hills above were decked with
trees the rain during the summer
months came very regularly. while
now the rain comes mostly I'm the
spring and then a long drouth sets
in. and during the summer months
the stage drops below the mark

THE COST OF A SENATOR.
(Chicago Tribune.)


 The Hartford Times is sternly op- posed to the direct election aof sena- tors, and puts forth as its first req son the following:
 The cost of senatorial candidacy will be much increased. Nobody can be a candidate for the senate with out eXpending a large amount of money in what are called legitimate ways. The opportunities for political corruption will not be decreased. In many cases they will be increased.
 This warning must give the most headlong progressive pause. If it took $100,000 to put over" a sena- tor under the present system, we are not anxious to have the rate rise. In Illinois we are enjoying no illusions as to who finally pays that bill nor how. An investment of S100,OOO by few patriots who modestly shun publicity is better than a lucky min ing stockton the promoters. But it's 1000 per cent. dividends are paid by the plain people indirectly. but no longer unconsciously. For those 1n- terests concerned with the preserva- ton of present conditions in our de facto system of government by and for privilege, every dollar spent in putting a Lorimer over is paid back by the public ten thousand fold.

POII'S

While Poli's Theatre has always ~ been considered the coolest spot in town during the healed term. Man aged Poli is going to make it more . delightful for the balance of the sum- mer season. MT. Poli attended the performance of 'The Virginian'' with 1 his family, last night, and between acts evolved a scheme for still further lowering the temperature in the thea effect today. The idea is simply to install a score of electric fans of the swinging order on the procenium arch at intervals of three feet apart. This means that the entire theatre from floor to dome will be breeze waved and the successful operation of the plan will mean its installation in the l other houses of the Poli circuit. Un- der present conditions the people in the boxes and on the lower floor get the greater benefit from the cool waves. Under the new arrangement every section of the house will come under the cooling influence of the fans and this will make for greater satisfaction as well as cooler atmos- phere.
 This weeks splendid play of West ern life, '"The virginian", is a brilliant success from every standpoint. and every seat in the theatre and all avail able standing room has been occu- pied at each performance thus far this week Dustin Farnum scored heavily in this play and it has been on the road eight seasons, this being the first season in stock for it, and the local theatre the first to play it at popular prices. Comparisons are said to be odious and often invidious, but those who have seen the original productfon and the presentation by Ne T~1f !, raafI hi hrrf "a highest praise for this weeks produc- tion and agree that it measures up with the original production, which is fulsome praise indeed.
 John Ince as "The Virginian", ex- cells in plays of this type, and is at his best this week, while individual hits of a high order are made by John Junior, Charles Schofield, Harry Hol- liday, Charles Randolph, Anne Hollin- ger, Helen Hilton and Joseph Eggen- ton. Stage Director Socola is enti- tied to the highest credit for the att tention to detail he has given the pro- duction. and Stage Carpenter Jackson and Electrician Meyer are also enti- tied to a goodly share of credit. Be- tween the acts illustrated songs and motion pictures enliven the waits, and interest is being created oyer the coming baby show which will have a large list of entries. A coupon ap- pears today which is self explanatory. At each performance this week cou- pons for a valuable diamond ring to be given away next Monday are dis tributed. and the ring may be seen in the display window of Button-Oli- phant Company

A PUBLIC UTILITY BILL.
(New Haven Journal-Courier.) )

The people of Connecticut. the general assembly, each and every one is to be congratulated upon the pas sage in the house of representatives yesterday of the minority public util- ity bill. It is mild measure of con- trol, unsatisfactory in many ways, but much to be preferred to any bill that has been offered except that drawn and recommended by the original commission after months of patient first that has been the choice of this newspaper, and we believe that in the long run it will be a source of re- gret with the corporations that they did not generously accept It anC agree to its enforceme ent. The pres ent successful bill may show that in the future it will need amendment. If so it will be easy to amend it. The
 important point is that after pro- longed agitation, involving peculiar incidents and evasions, the principle of corporate control has been estab- lished in Connecticut. We say Again what we said many times, that The Journal Courier is friendly disposed to every public service corporation in the state. We want them all to expand and grow to the limit of their possi- biiities, but we want the terms of partnership more clearly written than they have been in the past. If it should transpire that, the minority bill is hostile to the legitimate growth of a single corporation. we shall be the first to move to have the evil corrected. In the meantime a great step forward has been taken in con- servative old Connecticut. A princi- pie has been avowed which has lain too long neglected.
