President Taft sent a message to
congress yesterday asking the imme-
diate passage of relief measure for
the benefit of the flood stricken COM
munities of the middle west and south.
Within very short time after the
message was received, house and SEN
ate rushed through an appropriation
of $500 for the Mississippi flood
victims and sent it to the president
to be signed.
Mr.. Taft bears the same relation
to the nation that Governor Shafroth
does to this state. Congress is anal
agous to our general assembly. The
flood sufferers may well be likened
to thousands of ranchers in this state
who face ruin, famine, even death,
through the destitution brought about
by the harsh winter.
What a sad contrast to all this the
attitude of Governor Shafroth pre-
sents in his handling of the crisis in
Colorado! What difference the two
men disclose in fulfilling the duties
of chief executive. Hat in hand, oui.
"honest" governor has canvassed the
western railroads for aims, leaving to
private charity the solemn duty of
the state. Governor Shafroth is well
fortified with a thousand and one
technicalities," to show that Colo
RADIO is powerless to help starving citi-
zens even if he called special ses-
sion OF the legislature. AS long as
he does not care to see it, no emer-
gency, of course, can exist. There are
cattle dying on the plains, no children
hungry, no farmers facing ruin.
And of course he is not afraid to
call an extra session for fear some
one other than himself might be elect
ed United States senator.-Denvei

HISTORICAL FLOODS

The great flood that is sweeping
down the Father of Waters is caus-
ing the statisticians and historians of
the United States to study the causes
and effects of these terrible calami-
ties. The st. Louis Globe Democrat
has the following:
"The peril from the floods in the
Mississippi and its tributaries is
grasped by congress, as shown by
the prompt passage yesterday by the
house of the bill to appropriate $780,
900 to fight the overflow. The presi-
dent urges an appropriation of $780,
900 and the bill will probably be raised
to this figure. For the moment the
crest of the wave at st. Louis seems
to be reached, but this cannot be re-
lied upon. The Missouri and some Of
the other tributaries north and west
of us are rising, and the upward ten
dency is likely to show itself here at
any moment. In the neighbosbood of
Cairo, where the Ohio pours itself into
the Mississippi, the waters are close
to the highest point ever reached.
"Quick action by congress, there
fore, is needed if the appropriation is
to be of value. In special report
yesterday the weather bureau experts
declared that the floods in the lower
Mississippi would be greater than at
any time in the past. This looks like
a safe prediction. The amount of
snow which fell in the upper Missis-
sippi watershed in the three months
just ended exceeded anything report
ed since the governments weather
service was established. When the
mass of snow in the mountains meits
torrent will reach us which is likely
to far exceed that which we now see,
1t must be remembered that the nigh
est stage in the Mississippi is not
reached until May or June, depend
ing upon the time that the sett'ed
hot weather sets in. In the flood OF
1907, which was the highest in the
memory of anybody now alive, the
crest of the wave was not reached un-
til June 10.
One little circumstance shows that
the cutting down of the forests is not
sufficient to explain the floods of re-
cent years. That of 1903, already re-
ferred to, while the highest in many
years, was far surpassed by the de-
luge of 1S44. While the height of the
Mississippi at the gauge at st. Louis
was 3S feet in 1903, it stood at Ala
feet in 1874 Manifestly the timber
growth in the watershed of the Mis-
sissippi must have been far greater
in 1874 than it was in 1903. So far
as there is any authentic record, the
flood of 1874 was the highest for the
past three-quarters of a century, but
some of the old diaries and chronicles
of the earlier days in st. Louis indi-
cate that higher stages have been
reached by the river even than tina.
1Segjstered sixty-eight years ago.
0Moreover, the 1903 highest" was
only two or three inches above the
mark touched back in 1858. The floods |
of the past ten years have averaged
no higher than did those of two-thir'.e |
of a century ago, before the work If
deforesting seriously began. The re-
moval of the timber has had less eff
feet in determining the date or the
height of the spring inundations in
the Mississippi valley than is popu-
larly supposed"

TIPTONVILLE, Tenn, April g.
When the levee near Hickman, KY,
broke yesterday afternoon, letting the
flood waters of the Mississippi into
the Reelfoot lake country, a warn
ing was flashed over the telephone.
Farmers and villagers were ready to
flee for the highlands as soon as the
warning reached them. Because Of
the break in the levee at Hickman, the
Mississippi here is not rising this
morning. The flood waters are run
ming through the lake country. 1t is
now feared that there may be break
in the Mississippi levee on the state
line.

is ten feet above the general level Of
the city. After the levees were made
the city was filled up to the 44-foot
stage of the river and most Of the
houses are on foundations and il the
water should break through the levees
and spread over the city it would
not reach the second floors of the
greater part of the homes. Mayor
George Parsons issued the following
statement today: We have the levee
situation we'll in hand and there is
no reason to doubt that it will be SO
