Illinois Waterway as Connecting Link Between
Atlantic and Gulf
By JOHN DALEY, Illinois State Senator.

Immediate construction should be begun of the Illinois waterway,
a a I connecting link between the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway and
the Mississippi river system. The valley of the Mississippi river and its
tributaries is the most productive region in the world in products of the
mine and soil.
Chicago is now the greatest distributing center in the United States.
The completion of the Illinois waterway will connect Chicago with the
Mississippi river system, representing $4,000 miles of inland waterways,
thus also connecting her with Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Louisville on
the Ohio, Chattanooga and Nashville on the Tennessee, and New Orleans
and ST. Louis on the Mssissippi-as well as with Minneapolis and ST.
Paul when the upper Mississippi is improved, and with Kansas City when
the Missouri river is improved.
Direct water communication will then be given the Middle West to
the Gulf ports, South America, the Orient and our west coast states.
Since the approval by the Illinois legislature of the authorization of
a $4,000, 900 bond issue for the project innumerable delays have oc-
curred-poitical, railroad, legislative and engineering. These have all
been overcome. Work should begin at once.

Advice by an Expert.

My most embarrassing moment hap
pened in my college days. We had a
new Scottish professor who suffered

1t delighted my chums to have me
initiate him, so at dinner 1 repeated
some announcements, almost word for
word, which he had given in class that
afternoon.

the professor walked w behind our

Vacation Is the Best Device for Man to
Restore His Individuality


The vacation is the best device for enabling a man to restore his indi-
viduaity. Without it modern industrial organization would be impos-
sihe. Man could not endure the confirming inactive life of the shop for
business enterprises.
1t is a psychic relief from a too complicated existence to turn to the
woods. Camp life puts drama into the necessities Of existence. 1t makes
breakfast a gamble and the achievement of dinner a masterpiece of inge-
nuty patience and physical proves. Man must be constantly achieving;
he must be eternany pithng his ability against the world and conquer
ing it.
Now, what is there to make a man proud of himself as he eats bacon
and eggs at home in the morning? He did not find those eggs, nor cook
them; he will be lucky if he can pay for them. Contrast this with the
exultaton of providing his own breakfast in camp-of outwhting the
cagy trout in his pool, of leapng up the path shouting to his slothful
campmates, of cooking the beauties and then hearing the sweet words of
praise which, if they be decent human beings, his fellows cannot fail to
shower upon him.

act as one OF the most horrible and reprehensibe that has ever disgraced
the annals OF this country. 1t is anarchy pure and simple, ruthless def
ance OF the federal government and state government, defiance of the
federal Constitution and the state constitution, defiance of all constituted
law and authority. 1t substitutes for all thereof the lawless individual
will and judgment of the perpetrators of the atrocty
What is worse than the commission of the crime itself is the fact
that the united populace OF the county where it occurred appears to
approve of it. The popuaee of Williamson county, Illinois, appears to
to be umedly and 100 per cent dRloyal to the United States and its con-
sttuton. There we have an instance Of an entire county being in rebel
Lion against the government Of the United States and its Constitution,
and against the government of the state in which it is situate and its con-
sttuton as well, disloyal to both federal and state governments, with
no prospect of anything being done about it.
If this horrible crime and atrocious assault upon government is to
go UNPUBLISHED, the dereLction of the officers who neglect to do their duty
will be worse than the commission of the crime.
The belief of the perpetrators of this atrocous crime apparently is
that men who want to work and do not belong to their union have no
right to live, and that the penalty is death.

Conditions Not Materially Worse Than They
Have Been for a Long Time
By HARRY PRATT JUDsoN, President University of Chicago.

There is always more or less discussion as to the younger generation.
AS far as my experience goes, and it covers now not a few years, the
younger generation is always changing. 1t is changing now. Some of
these changes l should rather not have. Others l am very glad to see.
I do not believe, on the whole, that the conditions are materially
worse than they have been for a long time. No doubt the wal unsettled
society at large. In this unsettlement perhaps our younger people share
to some extent. But mind you, it is only a sharing of what goes with
the entire community.
In short, I do not believe that society, especially the younger part
of it, is undergoing a radical revolution either in morals o. manners.
1t is passing through a condition of change certainly in manners, perhaps
to some extent in morals, but / do not believe that there is any serious
danger. We need to do what we have always needed to do-to use the
best efforts for wise direction and proper education. May l add that these
efforts belong to the home and the church even more than to the school,? ?

Anarchy, Pure and Simple, Defiance of
Constituted Law and Authority


The Herrin massacre was one of the most atrocious
assaults that has ever been made in this country on
constitutional government, on the constitutional guar
anty to every resident of the United States of the right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; it is one
of the worst acts of defiance to all law and govern
ment ever committed in this country. If that sort of
thing is to continue and to go UNPUBLISHED, c%onstitu-
tional government cannot endure. If the time has
come when that sort of thing can exist without pun
ishment, without vindication of the law, constitutional
government in this country is nearing its end. That

CASSVILLE PEOPLE TO
PUT VILLAGE ON MAP

CASSVILLE.-Less than a year ago
leading citizens subscribed to a fund
for the purpose of organizing a brass
band. An instructor was hired who
came from Prairie du Chen to teach
the 35 young men who enlisted. This
past week the band gave public con-
cert which was voted excellent. After
the concert a dance was held in Con-
cert hall and the band netted $500.
About the same time the band pro-
iect was launched the business men
got together and concluded to put
Cassville on the may as summer re-
sort. Riverside park was purchased
on the river and improvements were
made which would attract parties
looking for a days outing and where
picnics and excursions can be hello.
Docks were built and the coming
summer will see many river steamers
tied up here with excursionists from
points both north and south of Cass-
Vile on the Mississippi river.
Cooperation Is Boost.
In other directions the community
spirit is extending out and is proving
that cooperation is the best thing for
a live town. Roadways in all direc-
tons leading into the city have been
put in the very pink of condition. Are
always well maintained and some of
the drives are very picturesque. The
macadam road prevails but good care
is taken to see that they are kept
we'll oiled through the season Of the
greatest travel
Cassville is in the very heart OF
fine farming and stock raising coun-
try. The farmers are all prosperous
and their fine farm homes and great
barns vie with those of their kindred
profession in any party of the county.
Ferry barges run from the city across
the river to connecting points in
Iowa. The town is growing, is good
business point, and very much up to
date.
