What Congress has done here under its war powers, it may do in time of peace under the navigation power, as Chief Justice Hughes, in emphasizing the fact that the "Tennessee River is a navigable stream," has suggested. This, of course, is only one means out of many, but it is an ironical truth in American government that once the Supreme Court has turned the light from red to green almost any excuse to drive ahead is good enough...

A few miles south of Palatka, the waterway would turn westward along the Ocklawaha, a St. Johns tributary twistier than the famed Meander. From this stream near Ocala the canal would cut west across dry land for 30 miles to a point about 20 miles from the Gulf.

Along its shore stood the chilled, dripping figures of little European boys, gazing wistfully across. The American child had never tried the stream, but he was sturdy, surely he could jump it at one bound. The poor little foreigners, he was certain, were not strong enough to try; just sissies, always cheating when they played "Cops and Robbers".
