^Vhen the big excursion steam-

(1 sank just as her captain beach-
her, the news carried my mem-
back 35 years, to Memorial

eat steamboat racc on Lake Erie
tween the ‘Tashmoo’ and the
ity of Buffalo.”
Both boats had been designed by
s same man, Frank Kirby, one of
nerica’s greatest naval architects,
le “City of Buffalo” was designed
r overnight freight and passenger
rvice between Buffalo and Cleve-
id; the “Tashmoo’ for carrying
j- excursion crowds up the Detroit
ver fco' Belle Isle Park. They were
e two fastest craft that had ever
vigated the Great Lakes and the
estion as to which was the faster
the two was so hotly disputed in
ipping circles that, finally, permis-
)n was obtained from the U. S.
eamboat Inspection to stage a
ce between them.
Enormous stakes were put up and
indreds of thousands of dollars in
le bets. A measured 100-niile
urse was marked off between
eveland and Erie, Pennsylvania,
le “Tashmoo” went into dry-dock
id had her bottom scraped and
led for the event. The “City of

their keenness
turned around without further prep
aration.
I was on the press boat which
went out from Buffalo to see the
finish of the race. It was about as
exciting a sporting event as 1 ever
witnessed—and about as close. The
“tity of Buffalo” beat the “Tash
moo” by less than one minute in
100 miles!
, SIDE WHEELERS . . . for me
I Somehio-w I have always been
' more interested in the old-fashioned
side-wheel steamboats than .1 have
ever been able to get about the big
liners. 1 suppose that is because my
first venture to sea was on a side
wheeler, the old “City of Portland,”
which ran between Portland and
Boston overnight, and was lost
without a trace some 25 years ago.
I have travelled on almost all of
America’s inland waterways on
paddle-wheel steamboats, side
wheelers and stern wheelers, and
nothing concerned with navigation
gives me quite such a kick as see
ing the Fall River steamboat go
up the East River, past my dining
room window in New York.
MEDAL .... for George M.
I think it was a fine thing for
the Senate of the United States to
vote an .award of a gold medal to
George M. Cohan for his service to
the United States during the World
War. George Cohan’s service con
sisted in writing the most inspiring
of all the American war songs,
“Over There.”
I don’t remember who it was that
said that he did .not care who
wro'te the laws of a country if he
could be allowed to write the songs.
There is more power to stir men’s
souls and move them to action in
the songs that everybody can sing
than in all the laws that ever were
made. It is quite possible that be
fore the present presidential cam
paign ends somebody will write and
set to music a campaign song so’
powerful in its popular appeal that
it will dccide the election, Tliat has
happened before.
REGROUPING . . . regions
More and more the idea is talked
about regrouping the United States
into regions instead of states. It
was the main topic discussed at the
Institute of Regional Development
held recently at Chapel Hill, North
Carolina.
Certainly, most of our economic
and social problems are regional.
None is .nation-wide; few are limit
ed to a single state. If any group
of state.s., such as New England,
could agree by treaty among them
selves to act as a unit on all mat
ters, Congress would have to ratify
the treaty. But there are political
limits to any regional plan.
No state will give up its right to
an equal voice in the Senate,^ for
example. On the other hand, T. exas
can, whenever it wants to, send 10
Senators to Washington instead of
two, for under the terms of its ad
mission to the Union in 1845 it was
given the right to divide itself into
five states at any future time.
I don’t expect to see that happen,
nor any other material change from
the present set-up of states.
FLETCHER
For 35 years Senator Duncan U.
Fletcher of Florida bent his efforts
to the digging of a canal across the
Florida peninsula. He lived just long
enough to win a victory for his pet
project and his beloved state in the
Senate; he died before the House
of Representatives turned the canal
project down.
Duncan Fletcher was a great man
and a great statesman. The Florida
Canal will eventually be budt. It
will stand .as an enduring monu
ment to Senator Fletcher.
