The Mississippi Problem.

The emergency appropriation before con

but a small portion of the amount of money
that the Federal government should spend as

tcally impossible repetition OF the loss of
life and damage to property by annual foods in
the river. Definite and accurate facts in all

visitation not vet at hand, but enough in
formation has accumulated during the past
month about the damage at various points in
the Mississippi valley from southern Illinois to
Northern Louisiana to warrant the belief that
several hundred lives have been lost and that
tho value of property destroyed equals at least
the s1S,0Q0.000 $4,000 900 which pert
opinion regards the amount Of money ~

the Mississippi river.
The loss of Individual lives the sweeping

lures of the loss of 500 lives in the sinking
Of one oceangoing vessel and consequently may
not appeal to the form of public mind which
is influenced by the newspapers. But that loss.
