dies. Those men at Washington, in the
Senate and the House, who are always
talking the loudest about the love of
their party for the ex-service man
come from Democratic states where
very little has been done to give him
relief. In other words, the story Fred

of the loud talking being INDUCED in
by Democrats to try to wirect the at

away from the splendid work being
done by Republican states for the ex-

talking and little doing. The Repub-
licans are plugging along both at
Washington and nevery state con-
trolled by them to do everything pos
sible for the eX-service man and at the
same time leave the Federal and state

not to the elimination of coal and oil.
-"We shall have to depend first of

runs to headwaters of the Escanaba
bay.
This Lake Superior and Michigan
canal would not cost more than sio.-
100000, as no expensive dam, would be
necessary" Mr.. Denison said. "This
rimrock' and locks would be the dam.
The extra water at the locks could be
used for electric generating, and this.
together with the tolls on boats and
freight going through the locks both
ways, would easily pay the canal cost
and operating expenses in ten years"
The engineer proposed that the work
be done IN the summer and estimated
that it would take two or three sum-
mers, as there would be great difficulty
during cold weather. He pointed out
that from Lake Michigan boats could
go into Lake Calumet for an inner har-
Dor, and if the Illinois drainage canal
were changed for boats, they could go
thence to the Mississippi river and
down to the Gulf of Mexico.
