GOVERNMENT URGED TO
PURCHASE D. and c. CANAL

The Delaware and Chesapeake canal
may become government property. as
speedy action was urged upon the House
Committee on Railways and Canals. in
Washington yesterday by n. B. Kelley.
secretary of the Trades League Of Phila-
dolphin and other Pennsylvania men.
The immediate step desired is the ap-
preparation Of $4,000 TO defray the ex-
penses of a commission. to be appointed
by the president to inspect the canal and
appraise its probable value to the Federal
Government as part Of a great system
of inland waterways designed to run from
Cape Cod TO Pamlico and Albemarle
Sounds.
The members Of the committee who lis
tened to the speeches yesterday showed
keen interest in the subject, and an earn

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR

Every Republican in Delaware is In
favor OF the election Of two Republi-
can United States senators, and but
cne man is preventing it. That man
is J. Edward Addicks. the Republican
national committeeman from this
State. To serve his own selfish ends
he has set up deadlock and threatens
to maintain It until the session shall
close.
The best possible work that the Re
publican National Committee can do
is to expel him from the committee
and to force him to retire from the SEN
atorial fight. That is the duty of the
hour. The people of Delaware do NOT
want him for senator, and will not
have him. lie insults them with the
proposition that II they won't take him
theycan't have anybody. and there ar,
men in the Legislature who support
him In this strange and unrepublIean
proposition.

LETTERS FROM TIE PEOPLE
For City Charter Reform

To the Editor OF the Evening journal.
Sir: In yesterdays issue OF your paper
you condensed into few lines the whole
argument TO be made in support of the
new charter bill now before the General
Assembly when you said: If the Leg
islature would give to cities and towns IN
the State that home rule 10 which they
are entitled, the volume of legislation
would be reduced at least one-thrd. 1t
is scarcely just that men from all parts
Of the State should decide questions
which are purely local"
A municipal corporation is an organi-
zation created by the State for the pur-
pose Of regulating the administration OF
the affairs OF certain defined locality
that are not common to the State at large
and which do not concern the people OF
the State in general. No rule Of Ameri-
can government is SO well settled as this
and nowhere, perhaps, has this rule been
so flagrantly violated as in the city of
Wilmington. Hence the General Assem-
bly, is now agitated and annoyed by bills
of every conceivable kind relating to the
city Of Wilmington, and other communi-
ties la the State. measures which should
be disposed Of by the people who are spe-
cially interested and who viii be most af-
fected or benefited thereby. The pro-
posed new charter viii supply all the
necessary reformation in this direction
The General Assembly would act wise
ly if it would lay aside the purely local
bills for Wilmington, take up and pass
the charter bin, and then say to the adj
vocales of the pending measures: "Now.
gentlemen, go home and settle your diff
fercnces with the voters and taxpayers OF
your city. We have given you home rule
and you are fully authorized to take care
of yourselves without need OF further as
sisianee from us. We are too busy elect.
ing United States senators to give any
more valuable time to legislation for VII
mington."

It is not a new thing for a Demo-
cratic Legislature TO rob colored men
OF the right OF suffrage. but special
session for that express purpose IS the
disgraceful political novelty about to
be set up in Maryland. There Is no
doubt concerning the intention of
Governor Smith. He has fallen a vic
tim to the opportunities OF the Demo
cratic managers, and only awaits the
recovery from illness of a Democratic
member of the Legislature, whose
vote is needed, before calling the extra
session. This Democratic scheme has
the sole merit OF franlxness. The Mary
landers make no attempt to cover up
their shameful program. It is to
amend the present election law and
proposes a franchise amendment to the
Constitution to be submitted to the
people at the next general election.
Robbed OF all its frills, It is to prevent
the negro from voting and thereby
make Maryland a Democratic state
once more

The soaford News critltises the
seaford loan bill now before the Leg
islature. and it seems to us that rs
criticism is just. and should be heeded
by the Senate COMMITTEES on Cities
and Towns and the House Committee
on Municipal Corporations. 1t is alleged
that the town charter provides that
the town treasurer shall receive two
per cent ON all moneys paid out by
him, and that, as the loan is for S25.-
coo. he will receive $500 for drawing the
checks, the entire matter. including
disbursements, being left in the hands
Of Town Council and the money pass
ing through the treasurers hands. Sea
ford cannot afford TO pay any such
money as that for a little clerical work.
and the Legislature should protect 1t
by amending the loan bill to exclude
the $4,000 from this two Per cent. ex-
action Relative 10 the administra-
ton Of the water plant there is a bic
diversity of opinion. The Town
Council Of Smyrna and Dover have
control Of the water plants in those
towns, while in Milford there is a
Water Commission Both plans seem
to work satisfactorily.

nIHl MAN oN IHE FENCEa

Representative Baynard apparently
is unable to meet any issue squarely.
Indeed. his course in the Legislature
has been SO equivocal that he has earn-
ed the everlasting title of "The Man
on the Fence"
Nobody apparently knows where TO
find him On any important question.
Representative Finn sized him up in a
few words one day recently. The two
were riding up to Wilmington on a
Delaware railroad train. 1t was flag
ged out on the marshes near Whining
ton. and held there for some time.
Finally Mr. Baynard grew weary OF
waiting and said: III the train doesn't
move pretty soon Pm going to got
or To this Mr.. Finn replied: 1T
isn't any use for you TO get of here
for there isn't fence in sight for
you TO sit ON"
Mr. Baynard voted for the city reve-
nue. bill yesterday; but he didn't want
10 do It. He simply remembered
at the last moment that he had con-
stituents in Wilmington, and apollo
gized to the House for voting for q
bill in their interest
We congratulate the people Of his
district that he did not forget them al
together, as he threatened TO do; and
express the hope that this shyster
moralist, whose mission in life is to
furnish inspiration concerning the
proper uses to be made OF an over
worked conscience on parade, will in
future remember that the man who
forgets his constituents soon will be
forgotten by his constituents. and that
he will need no safe for the protection
Of his political prospects.

hungry man a meal in order that he
may show by his subsequent actions
how little he deserves it.
