The Morris Canal

Hudson Maxim, the inventor of
high explosives, has been turning his
genius for concentration upon the
Morris Canal problem, and has adj
vanced the most conclusive arguments
showing why anything short of aban-
Comment isabsurd. In his recent book,
"Morris Canal Abandonment Prob
lems,u he SCOTS at those senti-
mentalists who want to ''perpetuate it
as a reminder of Anticipated industrial
enterprise He shows that every
canal boat that traverses its length
travels five miles over dry land in
wheeled cradles. 1t is lifted out of
water tw~enty-three times and is
elevated and lowered a distance of a
thousand feet.
With high wages and expensive
mules to pull canal boats that have to
be loaded and unloaded by hand and
at best do not hold as much as modern
coal cars, Mr.. Maxim finishes his ar
gument against the canal as a ques-
ton of expense. and takes up q very
serious problem, which is ordinarily
not considered.
"There Is another and insurmounlable
obstacle to the reconstruction and oper-
alton of the Morris Canal" he says,
land that Is the utter insufficiency
and available water to feed it. There
never was water enough for the canal
in the days of its greatest usefulness.
But there wes much more water avail
able then than there is today. The
forests have been cut away, sud titled
fields and barren lands have taken the
place of woodlands. The rain is no
longer held, as it once was, in the tree

able to canal operation, the lack of
water makes the canal useless during
three of the months when canals are
ordinarily navigable. This leaves at
most five months in a year when the
Morris Canal a be operated"
Mr.. Maxim is an advocate of the
parkway and boulevard plan. He sug-
gests using water where there is plenty
of it, and having the boulevard alone
along the stretches where water is
scarce and can be used to better adj
vantage. Because Of the numerous
inclined planes the waterway as a park
way could not be continuous in any
event.

WALKS AND TALKS

By JULIUS CHAMBERsi in the Brooklyn Eagle
The extravaganza of municipal State
and national ex expenditures in he United
States is almost beyond realization.
During the pasttwelve years more than
81, SOC, 900 900 has been appropriated by
these three branches of the general adj
ministration of this republic!
This sun is greater than was the ma
tional debt at the close of the Civil War.
Not counting the money annually fritz
tered away by Congress on unnecessary
public buildings and other "pork bar
relu jobs, the greater part of this enor-
nous sum has gone into internal i'm
provements that make for future de-
velopment. The large colonial die
bursement Is for the Panama Canal,
which nov stands on the debit side of
the national ledger at 1852, O00, 900!
Since England has kindly (?) permit
ted us to fortify the Canal Strip, a large
amount OF money will yet have to be
"investedn there and the final sum will
exceed $500, DOC, 900.
The problem ofbuilding proper levees
for the retention of the Mississippi river
within it's bounds belongs to the nation.
Il Is unfair to expect such an onerous
burden to be borne by any of the States
below Cairo that border the mighty
stream. The Mississippi is one of the
proudest possessions of this country;
it raj ks next to the Constitution and
national honor. Fifty millions would
control its floods, but selfish Congresses
prefer 10 squander an equal SUM every
two years in building postoffices and
deepening small creeks for the benefit
of constituents.
