Spsecial 10 The Commercial.
in the opinion of Senator Burton, is a
more vital problem to.the American
people just now than either the tariff
or the currency, and he would like to
see Congress take up and pass on
methods to meet such situations as
have been causing so much suffering
and destruction in Ohio before it does
anything else.
Senator Burton has been long con-
sidered the leading authority on river
and harbor improvement in this coun-
try. He has gone back to Ohio, where
he spent most of his time during the
worst part of the recent floods, to
make a thorough study of conditions.
Senator Newlands is also making a
strong plea for the adoption of means
to prevent floods. He and Senator
Burton do not agree as to the means
to be taken, but if they and the (ther
wise men who are studying the prob-
lem get their heads together it is
likely that they may reach some com-
* {mon ground on which they can all
stand and that the result will be a
gain to the whole-country.

courage the holding of them. He
says he admires the pluck shown by
for a big exposition in 1915.
good in Washington, but he showed
such great ability that when he came
up last time for re-election he won by
more than 18,000 votes.
Ferris is of the type that they like to
call ‘‘typically western’”’ out where
the prairies stretch away to meet the
sky. But there’s nothing wild and
woolly about him.
