during the past ten years there have been
one hundred lives lost at or near the
Breakwater and vessels and cargoes dis
troyed to the extent OF SO, 600, 600 in

The time has come to call halt when
such serious disaster to life and property
can be avoided. A breakwater of much
larger dimensions, with a more extensive
accommodation, is needed at or near this
point One serious objection to the pres
emit location Is that it is a poor holding
ground. better site in this respect
might be selected. There is no place along
our coast where shelter is needed more
than at the mouth of the Delaware, aud
here is where several millions of the
troublesome surplus could be proftably
spent by the Government.
The present breakwater was completed
In 1928, and although the country was
comparatively poor then, it made no russ
over the expenditure of 81, 1913, sos, which
1t cost. At the time of its construction an
800 ton vessel was the largest that we
had. We have outgrown this little shell

THE next Congress promises to be an
excitable If not a turbulent session. The
first question ON which the parties will
divide will be the rules Il is the custom
of the House Of Representatives to adopt
the rules of the preceding House with
perhaps formal change or two. But
owing to the narrow majority Of the Re
publicans they propose to make an
entire change of the rules SO as
to deprive the Democratic minority
Of the power which the Republican
minority enjoyed in the last House.
This movement, suggested by the ex-
IRENE partisans, will be resisted by the
Democrats II attempted for purely par
tissn purposes With Carlisle, Randall
Mills, Breckenridge, Oates and other able
and eloquent Democrats on the floor the
Republicans will not have an easy task
IN changing the rules for partisan pur-
poses. The administration will perhaps
attempt TO assist the Republican majority
but this administration is so
badly handicapped by its bargains with
Malone and Platt and its Tanner scandal
that some time will elapse before its in
huence becomes patent, Hence it is
likely thai the next session will be tur-
hulent and Ineffective. The Democrats
will not sacrifice the rights Of the minor.
ity aud the Republicans have
not majority sufficient to control the
House. In fact, with all the votes which
they expect from the Western states, the
Republican majority will range between
| and 4. The ostensible reason for the
change Of rules is to enable the majority
to control legislation, but the real reason
will be desire to count out some twenty
or more Democrats whose seats are con
tested
