WITH PATRIOTIC BODY,
THE UNITED AMERICANS
Organization That is Simply Pro-Ameri
can and Undertakes to Correlate
Efforts of All Loyal Bodies
and Citizens.
Stands for Preservation of the Constitution of the United States,
Continuance of the Right of Individual Possession and En

and Americanization Its Mission.
WHAT UNITED AMERICANS STAND FOR.
"The purpose of the United Americans shall be to pre
serve the constitution of the United States, with the repre
sentative form of government and the right of individual
possession which the constitution provides, to stand firm
for law and order; to foster among our people high stand
ards of individual and corporate conduct; and to advance
the prosperity and happiness of all the people of the United
States.
This organization shall have no part in the nomination
or election of public officials or otherwise in party politics."
—Extracts from the constitution of the United Americans.
u
N organization nation-wide in the scope of its operations
and thoroughly and exclusively patriotic in its policies has
been forrtied in this country, to which leading men in all
walks of life, of all political affiliations and all shades of religious
belief have lent their warmest indorsement.
A
It is the United Americans, and one
of Its fundamental missions is to cor
relate the efforts of all patriotic
bodies, operating within their partic
ular sectuiian, fraternal, military or
other lines und, in general, to
thoroughly attune the public mind to
loyalty, to bring about a permanent
dedication of the people to devotion
to the flug, to uphold the constitution
of the United Stutes and preserve rep
resentative form of government und
the Individual liberty and personal
rights vouchsafed by It.
The program of the United Ameri
cans contemplates a campaign of edu
cation, with the truth as its corner
stone. In this munner fallacy can
beat be met, In the opinion of those
who gave their time to laying the
foandatlons of the organisation. In
carrying out this policy Information
will be furnished to combat any and
all elements whose operations aim at
the undermining and ultimate destruc
tion of this government.

Instead of controversy there Is to

The plan of organization contem

American citizens for entrance Into a

that extends a helpful hand to all
other bodies actuated by motives of
loyalty, whether labor, farming, bnsi

in effect, Into one brotherhood all
country-loving factors, many of which
find their usefulness restricted and
that, therefore, are not functioning

practical results.

LINKS LAKES TO MISSISSIPPI
Improvement of Vast Importance to
Mieeiesippi Valley and Northwest
—All Bare to Actual Con
struction Removed.
One of the outstanding achievements
of Gov. Frank O. Lowden's adminis
tration In Illinois was the putting
through of the Illinois waterways proj
ect which will cost $20,000,000 und
provide water connection between the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi river.
The project has been under discus
sion for more than 20 years, and
several stute administrations have
struggled In vain with tills important
problem. It remained for Governor
Lowden to carry the great improve
ment through to success.
The last bar to the project was re
moved January 16 with the issuance
of a permit by the secretary of war
authorizing the state to proceed at
once with the Improvement. The be
ginning of actual construction work
is now but a matter of a short time,
and completion of the water link at
last becomes a visible goal. Tremen
dous benefits will be realized by all
classes of business Interests In the
Mississippi valley as the result of
the opening of the water route.
"The waterway will be of Immense
value to farmers of 'the great produc
ing region of the entire Mississippi
valley and the Northwest," Governor
Lowden said. "The Illinois project
will be In accord with the Improve
ment of the Mississippi, Ohio and Mis
souri rivers by the federal govern
ment for navigation. Locks will be 600
feet long, 110 feet wide, accommodat
ing fleets of barges carrying 6,500 to
8,000 tons of freight, the equivalent
of six to eight average train loads.
"Before the war and the Increase
of rail freight rates a ton of freight
was carried a thousand miles by wa
ter as cheaply as fifty miles by rail. '
This is a fair Indication of the benefit
to be afforded the public by the work
when it Is completed. Its value is
now enhanced by the government re
quirement of Interchange of freight by
railroad at suitable water terminal
points throughout the country."
The waterway will follow the
drainage canal from Chicago to Lock
port from which the connection will
he made with the Illinois river at
Utica by a barge canal eight ftrirt deep,
which may later be deepened to 14
feet, as conditions require. In add!- '
tion to the great advantages to com
mence, water power valued at approxi
mately $1,000,000 a year will be devel
oped which will effect a saving of ap
proximately 500,000 tons of coal an

The surveys and engineering work

I. Bennett, director of the depart

and Wllllnin L. Suckett, superintend

These officers state that much of the
preliminary .work has already been ac

CENTER OF INTEREST.
Frank R. Gooding and I- V. Patch
Given Great Ovations at Boise.
Boise. Idaho, Feb. 14.—Pol Wies has
experienced a marked revival during
the past few days In this vicinity and
the activities here are reflected In in
creased political Interests all over the
state.
During the recent meeting of Re
publicans hero Governor Gooding was
Pho center of considerable attention
and the wonderful ovation given him
at the Lincoln Day banquet served to
Indicate thnt his position as one of
the prominent leaders of the party had
in no wise been endangered but has
been materially strengthened by vir
tue of the contest he has waged against
radicalism in this state and of the
manner in which he proved his charges
in court in the recent trial of the libel
suit brought against him by Ray Mc
Kalg, the Nonpartisan leader.
Quite emphatic also was the demon
stration when Col. I* V. Patch was
presented. The Colonel has only re
cently returned from France and has
been urged to enter the political field
actively by many people. The American
Legion is strongly behind him and
he has considerable otller support.
It is known tnat while he has been
utged to become a candidate for the
ü. S. senate, he prefers to be a candi
date for Governor feeling that the
piddle generally would noi look with
favor upon him jumping at once from
the ranks to the highest place. More
over, the political conditions seem to
make it much easier for him as a
candidate for Governor than for Sen
ator in the opinion of the many po
litical obsevers.
The name of C. C. Moore of St.
Anthony was mentioned in connection
with the governorship but no expres
sion could be obtained from him. He
apparently has considerable following.
