The successful passage of the U.
S torpedo boat Gushing" through
the Delaware and Chesapeake canal
last week on her way to New York
via the Rarltan Canal has seemingly
given interest to the question of a
ship canal connecting the two bays.
A meeting was held in Centreyille
on Tuesday in favor OF the project,
and delegation was selected to the
convention 10 be held in Baltimore.
The route endorsed was through
Queenstown creek to Murder-ki
creek on the Delaware side, which
would lessen the time from Balti-
more to Europe about twenty hours
assisting materially in the growth of
Baltimore City, consequently OF the
State. Resolutions were adopted
requesting representatives in Con.
gress TO secure TIE cooperation of
the government and recommending
the practibility Of the Queenstown
route. Let Cecil he represented by
a delegation advocating the advan-
tages and feasibility of the Delaware
and Chesapeake canal.

PROGRESSIVE TRAMPISM,

While it cannot be truthfuly said
hat all who compose Coxey's armies
re vagabonds, yet it is undoubtedly
rue that very large proportion of
them are lazy tramps. This ruling
element Of the Coxey movement now
recognizes the fact that they can
secure subsistence and transportation
easier by moving through the
country as an organized force than
by travelling singly. In other words
vagabondism is progressive, and the
tramp will now move in droves.
This is new phase of the tramp
question to be met by necessary
legislation.
A published interview with
leader of General Kelley's army a.
Des Moines, Iowa, throws some light
on this new phrase of the tramp
problem. He said:
This army is getting down to a purely bust
ness basis. We do not intend to starve nor do we
intend to work, and we do not intend to walk
unless We cannot help il. Our advance agents
are about II hours ahead OF us all the time, max
ing arrangements for the necessary supplies on
the contribution plan, which supplies shall
protect us from deciding whether or not we shall
work or starve. Our advance agents are grow in.s
more and more business Ike in their methods.
They begin to levy their contributions with some
show of authority. They are getting SO they do
not ask; they suggest.
1--WE are getting along so well that we have
been led to wonder why this plan of civilization
had not been thought Of before. Possibly Adam
had it in the Garden OF Eden. We do not know as
to that We are living on the fat of the land
live tcamped as individuals, the farmers
would set their dogs on u.s. So long as we tramp
ostenslbly in the name OF a great cause with
flags flying and bugler al the 'front.' they re-
ceive US as il we were heroes. 1t makes some
difference whether we 90 singly or in droves of a
thousand"
