The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-06-29

Having, as said, Nailed to receive
two copies of The Jeffersonian about
last of April and first of May, I
awaited the third with intention of
questioning the postman before filing
complaint with the postal authori-
ties. 1t was delayed three days and
taking it from the hand of the post
man, | said: 1.-TWO Of the last issues
Of The Jeffersonian have not been re-
ceived by me; do you remember de-
livering them at this house?" He
answered: 'No, sir, I don t." I
said: ''The Roman Catholics are
threatening Mr.. Watson with ex-
clusion of his magazine from the
mails and" but suddenly thinking
the negro might be Roman Catho-
lie, and not wishing to wound him
unnecessarily, l asked him '".Are Won
Roman Catholic?" He answered:
Eyes, sir, l am. I was born one and
all my family" "Well," I replied,
What I started to say was that 1
was afraid some over jealous Roman
Catholic might be tampering with
my mail and | intended to place the
matter before the postmaster gen
eral and the city postmaster for in
vestigatiOn." He answered. 'The
Catholics will stop that magazine if
they can. It's good magazine
thOugh-but | never read it. I was
not impressed we'll with his appear
ance Of truthfulness, and I was left
with the feeling that the negro, be-
ing a jealous Roman Catholic in his
ignorance, did, with The Jefferson
ian in his hands, turn it over to his
priest for his perusal, accounting for
the lost ones and the delay Of the
others: l was about to write to you
about the delay Of the June / issue
to June Z when the postman left it
on June z.
It may be that the Catholic priests
were helping the government in CEN
soring The Jeffersonian
The Roman Catholics have gotten
the politicians of all parties by the
nose and I can see no road but that
leading to q national party against
clerical party.
Taft tries to soft soap race and
creed, which history will record as
weakness.
You, Mr.. Watson, are now feeling
the fangs Of the Roman hierarchy
transplanted in the United States;
made fat and strong by vicious i'm
migration by the millions Of the scum
Of Europe, pouring in from propa-
eating Ireland by thousands, and
from Italy and Austria with scores
upon scores of expelled priests from
France and Portugal, the Philippines,
everywhere, leading them and keep
ing them together without the old
time assimilation and appreciation
Of free institutions. Scores of orders
are congregating here in the capitol
city, organized for work at conven-
ton, the better to demand and re-

BuRkE urges Improvement
Continued from page 81


than allow it to remain turbulent
flood, dangerous to inhabitants OF
every city on its course and Waste1ul
and extravagant in washing out lands
!. which are worth more than the cost
of Improvement. Good agricultural
land is becoming scarce in this coun-
try; the government Is now opening
IN it's Indian reservations to
supply the great demand there is for
land and in a little while all the agr1.
cultural lands of the United States will
be occupied, and there will be no more
except what we can make by reclama-
ton. In the meantime our popula-
ton is constantly an steadily IN
creasing; and while in the past the
products of our soil have helped to
feed the hungry of every land, we can
TODAY look into the future and see the
time coming when our every acre Will
be taxed to support our own people:
The improvement of our rivers will
reclaim some of the very best agricul-
tural lands in the world and territory
larger than many of the states in the
Union. It will be necessary to i'm
prove the rivers for the reclamation
of this land, and while congress can
not do it for this purpose, it can do 1t
in regulating and controlling inter-
state commerce, an this will be one
of the beneficial results.
The greatest obstacle to the policy
of Improvement of our inland water
ways is it's magnitude and the tire.
mendous amount of money it will
cost. But this is great country, and
this problem is not too great nor too
complex for the American people to
meet and master. If plan of river
Improvement be developed that is
deemed feasible. the next question
will be the raising of the money nee
essary to make the Improvements.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1911-11-16

1t might be done by direct appropria-
ton, or it could be raised by the is
sue and sale of bonds in the same
way that the money was raised to
build the Panama canal. No plan or
Improvement is feasible or practical
BILE unless it contemplates permanent
improvements, and if the improve
ments are to be permanent and bene-
fetal to those who are to come after
US as we'll as those now living, then
it is only just and equitable that all
who partake of the benefits should
share in the burden. If our river
improvements are permanent and
lasting they will add so much to the
National wealth of the country and
become, in fact, a permanent invest
ment which posterity will inherit and
therefore will not object to paying
its proportionate share of the cost.
With no other kind of improvements
considered it would seem that the
most feasible the most equitable and
the most just method of raising the
necessary money is by the issue and
sale of bonds. 1t is estimated that 1t
will cost $5OO,0O0,O0O. 1t will cost
nearly as much to build the Panama
canal, which will be of little use to
US unless our inland waters are I'M
proved and made navigable.
The inland waterways when I'm,
prove will turn great part of our
commerce south and relieve the con-
gestion in the great western terminals
which impedes traffic. 1t will regulate
transportation rates without discriml-
nation between the producers in any
part of the country. The improve:
ment of the Missouri river alone will
give to the producers of Kansas, Ne
braska. Missouri and other states on
it's borders as low rates as are now
enjoyed by the producers who are
favored with the low rates OF com.
merce on the great lakes. 1t will
open up to Kansas City and St. Louis
the markets of the Great Northwest

Captain Baker is business man, and
runs his boats because it pays him.
Ona thing we need on our inland
waters is more Captain Bakers, more
river captains who know how to make
money out of river navigation-who
are not talking about navigation, but
who are navigating-less talk, more
navigation. If every city on the Mis-
souri, river had as much navigation in
proportion to it's size and population
as the city of Bismarck. what a pow
erful argument it would be to con-
gress in favor of the improvement of
this mighty river! In the face Of such
an argument congress could not and
would not refuse to appropriate the
necessary $50,000,000 a year for the
Improvement of our inland waters.
If we are justified in issuing and
selling bonds for the building of the
Panama canal surely We are justified
in making these internal improve
ments in which all posterity is inter
ested Unless we can put ships upon
our inland waters. of what use will
the Panama canal be to us except for
the navy? The money expended in

! paid almost exclusively to foreign Ia
! Dor, for white men cannot endure
the heat of that climate in heavy toll.
| The inland waterways when improved
! will be for the use of the American
peopte. They will bear upon their
bosoms our ships carrying our prod
ucrs to the markets of the world and
make the Panama canal one Of the
greatest arteries Of commerce and a
! 1aying investment for the enormous
amount of money expended in its con-
strnction. The necessary improve
merts of our inland waters will cost
a tremendous sum of money. but it
will not be paid to foreign labor or
! for foreign material. 1t will be paid
to American laborers and for Ameri-
can material and will come back into
circulation to American cities and
towns, promoting their growth. giving
us permanent, lasting investment
and leaving us richer in national
| wealth

and the great coal fields of North Da-
kota This year with less than an
average crop, and with less than one
third of our agricultural lands UNI
der cultivation, North Dakota's crop
alone is valued at $150,0O0,000 prac-
tically all of which must seek mar
ket outside of the state. The United
States government survey gives us
$4,000 square miles of coal, estimated
at 100000. 100000 tons. In some places
there are 30-foot veins and in some
places it can be shoveled from the
banks of the Missouri river onto a
boat in navigable water. The river
being in proper condition, the current
will carry it free of charge to the
numberless cities and towns on it's
course to the Gulf of Mexico; and it
will bring your commodities to US at
one.sixth the cost of railroad trans
portation. There will be no monopoly
upon this great highway which is esti:
mated to have the carrying power of
600 single-track railroads. Anyone
and everyone can use and navigate 1t
so long as they comply with the laws
of commerce on the river.
Bismarck has two transcontineatal
lines of railway-the Northern Pacific
and the $500" with the Milwaukee
just a little south and again a little
to the southwest, and branches Of the
Northern Pacific running up and down
the river on the west side; but not
withstanding these good railroad ia
cilities, Captain I. P. Baker OF Bis
marck runs nine large freight boats
up and down the river from Bismarck
from the opening to the closing OF
every year; and there are
at least as many more between Bis
marck and Montana Captain Baker
does not run these boats for the pur.
pose of keeping navigation alive and
securing appropriations for the upper
No. the appropriations
the upper Missouri has received would
not justify such efforts on his part.
