aboard the train until he reached
Charming, Mich, at o'clock. He
added that when he was assaulted in
the hotel he was terribly beaten and
dragged to the outskirts of the town,
threatened with lynching and finally
placed aboard the train He said he
had been comforting with commit
tee before the mob arrived at the
hotel He said he expected to return
to Calumet in few days, under gov
eminent protection.
When he reached Milwaukee Meyer
retold the story more in detail. He
said the mob numbered about twen-
ty-five. He was telephoning, with
his back to the door, when the mob
entered, he said. One hit him with
the butt of a revolver, then a shot
rang out and he felt piercing sen
sation in the back. He said two men
| dragged him, and when they tired,
two others took their places. He
said they yelled, Lynch him Hang
himl" and called him vile names.
Meyer said when he reached the
station James McNaughton, general
manager and vice president of the
Calumet and Hecla mines, greeted
him with: Get out forever II you
return Ill hang you"
Charles Tanner Of California, trav-
cling auditor of the Western Fedora
tion, is said to have experienced the
same treatment. He was taken from
the hotel to the station and was
placed aboard the train He said
men claiming to be sheriffs pur-
chased tickets, also, and boarded the
train.
A doctor was called this morning
aboard the train to attend to Meyers
wounds. Meyer limited he believed a
civil official planned and carried out
the plot.
Meyer was not wounded seriously
and was able to converse freely. He
seemed cheerful aboard the train.

of caving banks and the i'm
pounding of flood waters, the
checking of flood formation
through demonstration, the O.
pening and control of excess
flood outlets, even the double
channeling Of the excess flood
flow Of the Mississippi river from
Cairo to the gulf, if necessary.
This latter idea has been eX-
plotted in the NeWs-Scimitar,
which printed a map some time
ago that was prepared by the
Lumber World Review, and
which showed that with the aid
of a few canals the st. Francis
river, Bayou Bartholomew, Black
river and the Atchafalya river
may be connected up in such a
way as to greatly relieve the
Mississippi river at Cairo when
! the great floods are moving out
Of the Ohio river. The common
sense solution of the problem is
to hold back as much water as
possible IL the upper reaches,
and to get rid Of the water that
comes down upon us as fast as
possible. Making the river
straight will accelerate the
flow Of the current and by OPEN
ing up the AtchafaIya it will
shorten the distance to tide wat
er by 200 miles.
The Newiands bill antagoniz-
es nothing but the political CO.
teries that are now deriving ben
efits from the present patch
work plan. It includes the plans
of the levees-and-nothing-
advocates, Supplements and adds
enormously to them. It takes
into consideration the flood wat
ers, and the protection not only
of navigation but the riparian
lands. Of course, those who are
enjoying comfortable positions
will object, as they always have
to any change being made. Gov
eminent engineers of standing
were bitterly opposed to the jet
ties, and did all they could to
convince the country that the
Eads idea was impracticable.
They opposed the Panama can
al, until one Of their number was
selected who had the courage
and independence to take the
matter up and put it through.
Government engineers said that
the Chagres and the Nile rivers
could not be controlled, and that
the only way to control the Mis-
sissippi river is by building mud
banks on either side Of it, and to
rebuild them higher and strong
err every time they break. They
were false prophets then and
they are false prophets now.
They can only see a part of the
whole, but when Uncle Sam
takes hold of the matter the
petty politicians and the pur-
blind scientists, who can see
only a part, will be brushed aside
and place given to those of more
extended perspective.-Memphis

The Nations DUTY.

1t is the duty of this nation t.
take hold Of the Mississippi riv
er, and its tributaries, in a com
pTehensive and practical manner
and protect the people and then
property from the enormous de
stIuctlon caused by recurrent
oVerttoWs. Millions of dollar:
worth of property are being
wasted every year, and condi-
lions are growing worse. It has
come to such a pass that the ma
ton must recognize its duty and
ameli0rate the sufferings which
people are called upon to endure
and prevent waste and destruc-
ton.
About the first thing to clio will
be to devise a plan which will
have for its purpose the benefit
Of the country and Of the peo-
fit Of few interested people
pie, and not as now. for the bene-
who enjoy Jobs and revenues
and tolls taken from the frag-
mentary patching that is being
done in the way Of Intellectual
leyee building. The levee dis
tricts in the various stretches
are merely nests for politicians
in which to hatch out their
schemes of self ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
and these should be destroyed,
and the entire question taken
over by the government, at least
insofar as control is concerned.
This form of action was urged
by Mr.. Isham Randolph before
the National Drainage Congress
in St. Louis on Thursday. He
pointed out very clearly that it
was mans job, and that no
man but Uncle Sam is big
enough to do it.
Ex-President Roosevelt has
long advocated an enlarged and
a comprehensive method of han
ding this matter. He looks at
it from the viewpoint Of a states
man, and points out the defects
and shortcomings of the sys-
TENS now in vogue. The whole
valley is interested.
Mr.. Roosevelt points out that
levees built on the lower Missis-
sippi, no matter how secure and
serviceable they might be, will
not prevent great and destruc
tive floods in the Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers. These also must
be looked after. Moreover, these
waters, instead of being a men
ace to be feared, should be har-
messed and made subservient to
the people in the various valleys.
To do this they can be stored at
may places, and held until they
are wanted to moisten and fruc-
tify the land and prevent the
destruction of crops by droughts
as in the past. Mr.. Roosevelt,
in a letter to Mr.. J. M. Parker,
among other things, said:
"The treating of the MISSISSIPPI
pi watershed as a unit from the
mouths of streams to their sour
ces will mean the coordination
of the work of the federal engin-
GERS of the reclamation service,
of the forestry bureau, of the
division of soils, of the geodet-
ic survey of the Mississippi riv-
er commission, and Of the ma
tional effort to turn the floods
into power, arid regions into gar
