River Improvement
God, in his infinite wisdom. never
Youchsafed TO any other country such
magnificent systems OF WATERWAYS as
We possess, and no other nation ever
50 unwisely neglected its WATERWAYS.
How they happened to permit them to
fall into disuse win forever remain q
puzzle to the inQuiring mind Had any
other nation owned the Mississippi
and the Missouri. the Mississippi
would long since have been made
navigable in fact as well as IN theory
to the Falls OF ST. Anthony, and the
Missouri TO Fort Benton.
IN my judgment the day for talking
about river improvement has passed
and the day for honest, sensible, per
sistent action Is at hand"
