A fiood-control project costing ap-
proximately $500 900 900, is laid before
| Congress by the Army engineers, who
| have been studying the problem of
| the Mississippi, with the strong in
dorsement of President Coolidge. who
asks for immediate enactment and
the prompt starting of the work. The
broad outlines of the scheme were
given in the annual message, delivered
to Congress last Tuesday. The de.
tails are technical. but comprise

diversion f1oodways in the Atchafalya
and Tensas basins in Louisiana, a
riverbank fioodway from Cairo to New
Madrid, Mo-, the strengthening and
! raising of existing levees and the
stabilization of the river channel. The
proposal for the construction of great
storage reservoirs in the watershed to
control the flow of the excess volume
of water is rejected as too EXPENSIVE
in proportion to their value. The
| problem of controlling the tributary
streams is left for future survey and
determination.
This immediate project will fully
occupy the Government for ten years.
Meanwhile the surveys can be con.
tinued and the hope is that a method
can be found that will strengthen the
safeguards against inundation.
In respect to the cost of the great
work that is Immediately proposed.
the President recommends that eighty
per cent of the cost of the control
project be borne by the United States
and twenty per cent by the States.
while the Federal Government will
bear all the cost Of the work of
stabilizing and mapping the channel
Under this division the Governments
share of the expense of the project as
now advocated would be $3.50, ,320, 900,
and that to be borne by the States
would be s37,oSo,00O. This would be
burden of only twelve and one-half
per cent of the cost of the whole
project to be carried by the States.
1t is difficult to see how any objection
can be raised to such an eouitable
and actually generous arrangement.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TR4CEWELL.

The first indication of sophisti-
Gated age and people is the pretense
that this is not n moral world In
which we live.
If we are to believe those who on
gage in this make-believe, the moral
law does not involve the require
ments to which right action must
conform, but is bunch of hokum
put over by the ruling class.
Ralph Waldo Emerson knew better.
In one of his journals he wrote.
There is no waste, no period to the
moral universe. An antiquity that Is
without beginning. and futurity that
is without end. is it's history.
"A principle of life and truth in it
self which it is impossible to conceive
of as liable to death or suspension. or
as less than infinite in the extent of its
rule, binding God and man in it's ir-
reversible decree--is co-eXistent with
Deity
And again, year later. he set this
down: Material beauty perishes or
pals. intellectual beauty limits adj
mration to seasons and ages; hath its
Gibbs and flows Of delight. But moral
beauty is lovely, imperishable, per
feet.
"1t is dear to the child and to the
patriarch. to Heaven. angel man
None that can understand Milton's S
'Comus, can read it without warming
to the holy emotions it panegyrizes.
Il would freely give all ever hoped
to be. even when my air-blown hopes
were brilliant and glorious-not as
now-to have given down that sweet
strain to posterity to do good in a
golden way"
When it comes to believing either
the wise Emerson or one of the flip
young gentlemen who find the moral
laws inconvenient, there are thousands
with the former.
Their selection, too, will be remark
ably quick and sure, without hesita.
ton, or feeling that they iced apollo
giZe at the shrine of clevernesS. how
ever ingenious.
"A principle of life and truth"-this
is as good description of morals. per
Sc, as one can find in the ordinary
course of reading.
Those who do not believe. or who
profess not to believe, in morals. may
declare that principles of truth only
have their derivation from certain
people in a certain cline; that moral
ity one place is it's reverse in another.
While there is some need of justice
in this way of looking at the question.
what the believer in morals will not
admit is that it is entirely true.
There seems to be. to such a man,
an irreducible amount of right ard
wrong that no edict can change, or no
statement from any one else change
in his own mind.
Ii is "a principle Of life and truth"
Life seems Interchangeable. in essence,
just as its counterpart in the mental
realm, truth. Is always one and in
divisible.
The fact that men differ is TO argu
ment against the truth. The truth ex.
lists in glorious certainty, If only man.
kind can find it.
This is the search of the ages.

agency of cause and effect.
Civilization such as the United
States enjoys, for instance, consti-
tutes a state of human existence in
accordance with certain well defined
rules Of the game"
There are many who seem to think
that these rules" are arbitrary, sud
denly handed down in some strange,
obscure fashion by those who had no
right to promulgate them.
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
Usage of polite society is simply the
common sense of mankind applied to
certain conditions Laws of interior
decoration boiled down to their es-
sence, are seen to be merely another
application of the horse sense" of
man.
SO the rules of the game" which
phrase may include the moral laws, as
wol ked out in Anglo-SaXon civliiZa-
tions the world over, are seen to be
the recognition of certain facts by the

mankind there were those who fought
what was established. They snecred
at edicts, at laws of all sorts. at

These valuable persons prevented
civilization from dying of retrigera-
ton. from being frozen in its tracks,
Remarkable thanks is due them,
Yet their ranks included a group
never to be praised, all those men and
women, upstarts, who did not know
how to live.
They did not know. they do not
know. how to act.
How can any one know how to live
who first does not know how to act?
Acting constitutes living. The very
essence of living lies in action. To be
a static human being is TO half live
Emerson himself did not climb
trees. but he acted in a very distinct
sense when he broke certain ties that
bound him. He broke them beCa use
he wanted to be true to the moral
laws
He knew how to act in accordance
with the dictates of his own soul.
Today there exists a definite group
Of persons the members Of which take
pride in flouting what is. just for the
pleasure of fighting it.
Not matter what it is, If it is. that
Is enough for them,
Whatever is. is wrong"
This seems to be their motto. Living
in a land built up over a period of
years on certain well fixed principles,
including the moral laws. these per
sons, who delight to call themselves
sophisticates, perpetually poke fun at
the institutions which protect them.
Perhaps nothing is more distressful
in home life than to have a child
turn against its father. So. in the

their Uncle sam, although they may
not so call it,

persons who believe that they are
likely to be the hope of America.
