years we have expended hundreds of
on our rivers, and we have compari-
lively little to show for the money
expended.
In my judgment, we shall continue
to waste money in this same way un-
less we systematic the work as is
provided in this bill or some other
bill involving the same general prin-
ciples. Every winter and spring we
scarcely read a newspaper unless our
eye strikes the oftrepeated item that
the Missouri, Mississippi and other
rivers are again raging torrents, do
ing millions of dollars of damage to
property and causing much loss of life
Annual and semiannual floods devas-
tate the valleys Is it not time that
this matter should engage our atten-
ton.
WHERE THE WEST BEGINS.
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer
Where friendships grasp is a trifle
stronger
That's where the West begins
Out where the sun shines a little
brighter
Where the SHOWS that fall are trifle
whittier
And the bond of home ties are wee
bit tighter
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trifle blu
Where friendships ties are a trifle
Where there's music in every stream
let flowing
Where there's music in every stream
of sowing
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is still in the
making
Where fewer hearts with despair are
breaking
Where there's more of singing, less
of signing
Where there's more of giving, less
of buying
Where a man makes friends with
out half trying
That's where the West begins

For four varieties of clocks.
A bath robe for parlor vase,
A box of stogies for knife,
And those still droller things in case

AFTER PANAMA, OUR RIVE RS

(Senator- H. F. Ashurst.)
The floods last March in Ohio and
Indiana have induced our countrymen
seriously to think and to try to as
certain what; if any, means may be
adopted to preclude a recurrence OF
such pathetic loss of life and ruthless
waste of human endeavor represent
ed by the property destroyed.
The council of the city of Dayton
charges that the Great Miami river
is controlled as a navigible stream by
the Federal Government, and that the
Government of the United States fail
ed to perform it's obligations in re-
gard to the inspection and supervision
of that waterway, and, therefore, is
directly responsible to the people
Of Dayton for the great calamity from
which they have suffered Their res
olution further alleges that the neg
lect of the Government in this in
stance has resulted in a great loss Of
human life and monetary loss amount
ing to more than a hundred million
dollars.
Civilized government can and
should take care to see that these
disasters are minimized and reduc
ed to the lowest possible percentage.
| believe that solution of the ques-
tion Of the control of the flood wa
ters is the passage of the Newlands
river-regulation bill The Nation
wants constructive work, not pospone-
ment; progress, not procrastination
What the Nation now demands-and
[ believe that Congress will heed that
demands protection from floods ard
prevention of floods as we'll
The Newlands river-regulation bill,
S. 2739, proposes to unite all the hy-
geographic activities of the Govern
ment into one harmonious plan, the
idea being to impound and store, as
far as practicable, the waters of the
upper reaches of the rivers for irri-
cation and water power; to provide
channels as the rivers flow to the
sea sufficiently large to carry away
floods and at the same time to serve
as waterways for commerce
With this plan goes the reclamation
of the swamps and reforestation of
The mountains to check sudden floods.
In my opinion this bill is extreme
ly meritOriOus and ought to be pass
ed by Congress. Under this bill the
rivers will be examined as to their
possibilities for freight-carrying and
power purposes. Practical plans will
be formulated for improvements and
estimates of the cost made. 1t is a.
large undertaking and will require
the expenditure of much money for
preliminary work, but the expense
is incOnsequental and negligible by
comparison to the good that will be
be accomplished. Accurate facts may
then be secured and the Federal Gov
ernment enabled to proceed upon the
work on waterway improvements in
systematic manner and not in hap
hazard way which is of so frequent
occurrence.
Under the methods which have
heretofore existed immense sums of
money have been appropriated for
improvements without comprehensive
plans or continuous work In past

THE MONTHS FORECAST.

December was the last month in
the old Roman calendar, and gets its
name from the Latin decem (ten)
The agitation for more months be-
gan in the time of Lucullus, and was
directly due to the difficulties the
between Rome and Mithradates the
Great. Lucullus was displeased with
the manner in which Mithradates had
become dicator of Phrygia, and re-
fused to recognize him. Mithradates
then called an election, in which he
was himself reelected. This caused
the Greeks and some of the others to
laugh at Lucullus, who commanded
Mithradates to resign the office up
on peril of war with the Romans.
Mithradates intimated that he would
resign, but he kept putting it off
until he had Lucullus, who hesitat-
ed to oppose so small a country as
Phrygia with the legions of Rome,
trying to pad time in every way that
he could. Among other things, he
added two months to the year, MAX
ing it II months long instead of 10.
While all the other big countries
were backing Rome up in this con-
troversy, the whole world was never
theless convulsed Lucullus got so
touchy about it that whenever he
gave one of his celebrated Lucullan
banquets he always banished from
The tahle those who laughed between
jokes or seemed to be amused by
something on the side. Mithradat-
es finally brought the thing to a
climax by demanding that Lucullus
resign and then taking to the brush.
This amused even Lucullus, so every
body had a good laugh.
