mate to complete the new project for
Smyrna river and nothing at all for
new projects on the remaining streams
named to the committee, while other
States are given millions of dollars,
and In very many cases get over so per
cent. of the estimate of the engineers
for the completion of the work. Mr..
Chairman, it seems very clear to me
that the State of Delaware has been
very much Disseminated against by
the committee in the amount OF the
appropriations accorded her by this
bill
In view of the already large COM
merce on this river and the very much
larger that would be on it if the con-
templated improvements were made,
and the further fact that the State of
Delaware has received so little at the
hands of the committee in this bill,
and the still futher fact that this
amendment only adds $40, 900 to the
aggregate amount of the bill, l sin
cereIy trust that tie amendment will
be agreed to by the House.
Mr.. BurtOn-I will say to the gentle
man from Delaware that the commit
tee would be very glad indeed to ac
commOdate him on river so near his
home, but $4,000 is the sum appro-
priated to places presenting substan-
TALLY similar facts.
The amendment was rejected.
The clerk read as follows:
Improving Mispillion river, Della
ware: For maintenance, $4,000.
Mr.. Hoffecker-Mr. Chairman, l
would like to offer another amend
ment.
The clerk read as follows:
In lines % and "a, page 43, strike
out ''for maintenance, $4,000, and in
sert Gin accordance with the report
submitted in House Doc. 1O2, Fifty
sixth Congress, second session,

The question was taken, and the
amendment was rejected.

WILL OF THE PEOPLE SUPREME.
Extract From the inaugural Address Of
Governor Hmm.

"In a government such as ours,
where the will of the people is supreme
every possible opportunity should be
given for the full and free expression
of that will and every safeguard should
be thrown about the method of its ex-
preston to secure the honesty there
Of Gov. HrNN
The above paragraph from Governor
Hunn's inaugural address marks the
point of departure of the new political
government from the old one. The
whole difficulty in Delaware politics
has originated right here, in the diver
gence of practice from theory, of real
ity from the ideal. In his comment
upon it the Governor states as fact -
that the will of the people is supreme
what has never been realized in this
State. The idea has been accepted
and there has been popular delusion
as to its application.

PROGRESS IN EvANGELISrIc WORK.
DR.. Myers, of Brooklyn. says II is the Bright
est Star of the New Century.

"The brightest star in the sky of the
new century is the rising splendor of
world wide evangelization," said the
Rev. DIR. Cortland Myers in Baptist
Temple, Brooklyn. "There will be
great commercial, humanitarian and
international advances. But all these
shall be secondary to the emphasis
upon and progress in evangelistic en-
deavor and triumph. There is ris-
ing tide of this spirit, which is lifting
itself on every coast line of the world.
Ministers are rapidly becoming evan
gelists in their own fields. Laymen
are being awakened to the supreme
duty, and great organizations are
perfected in England and America and
the wave is sweeping around the
world.

Florida Teachers and School Off
GERS: Dear Friends-The swelling
buds and springlike air warns us that
the days are drawing near when the
woods will be robed in all their spring
glories, that the growing days are
coming. What more fitting express
sion of these days afford US than a
day set apart for beautifying our
surroundings with plants and trees,
and for getting closer to the "Great
heart of Nature?"
His Excellency, Governor Jen-
nings, has proclaimed Friday, the 1st
day of February, as Arbor Day, and
has enjoined its observance upon the
people of the State, particularly the
schools.
Let every school in the State catch
the spirit of the day. Letevery Off
cial and teacher make it his personal
duty to see that the ground OF
grounds in the vicinity of the school
or schools under his control are per.
manently beautifed by the planting
of trees and hardy shrubbery.
Not only should there be provided
abundant shade to secure the health
and comfort of the little ones of sue
ceedlng school generations, but every
school yard should have a little
shrubbery to relieve its stiffness; anC
a little touch of sweetness should b.
given by a bed of viOlets or othe
other small flowers. These are t.
teach lessons of love and purity
Such are Gods object lesson
through which to teach His eterna
truths.
The more obstructive boys'' il
the school, the more urgent the ne
cessity for these things of beauty
Let such boys, under tactful guid
ance, conceive, plan and bring int
existence the flower bed or the grOu
of trees, and they will be as zealou
to protect and nurture it as they haV
ever been to destroy. Thus is tn
