LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal.
sir:-As reader Of your paper who
does not wholly agree with Republican
principles but who realizes that The
Evening Journal stands for all that is
good IN politics, 1 would ask your brief
indulgence. Although l am a Demo-
crat, / am well aware that there are
conditions in that party which need
adjustment and the sooner this is done
the better it will be for the organiza-
tion. The fullsome fiattery which was
paid Peter j. Ford by Democratic
Glasses" in the Sunday Star yester-
day is too absurd to be taken seriously.
Mr.. Ford is ambitious and it is made
to appear that the party is Insisting
that he shall rum Judging by an
evidently inspired" article In the
Philadelphia Record on Saturday dated
Georgetown, and by the Democratic
Glasses" article yesterday this is his
plan Of campaign. Let me say right
here, as "a Democratic voter, that his
schemes viii fall Nat and that he will
not be on the State ticket. When the
Democrats have an opportunity to win
they do not propose 70 carry burden
such as the nomination OF Ford would
impose.

leader" the Democrats OF Kent End

Wherein then has he any strength? 1

ntcal power. Joseph e. Holland. Of
Milford, who has teen favorably mem

and who Is well-known, it Is said has
made a compact with Ford whereby
they were to support one another for

he would take either nomination IL ne

that Ford and kenney are now very
friendly and that they are desirous Of

Democrats fust tie to i'm these troublol
times and l am sure that the delegates

rhE CANAL INSPECTED.

TT is WITH much pleasure that we
announce that the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal has been in
spected. The details are condensed in
two columns Of our morning contem-
porary. with a map which we have a
fancy we have seen before somewhere.
It was not government inspection;
no senator or congressman was along
not even the members Of the canal
committee appointed by the Board of
Trade. IL was not necessary; Mr.. AL
fred O. crozier was there He made
the inspection and allowed our con-
temporary to interview him at some
length and learn how he proposed TO
proceed IN making this a ship canal
and the disposition Of the Govern
ments military forces to protect f..
This is news indeed. and it justified the
use Of that somewhat ancient cut.
Mr.. Crozier we read, was partculcr-
iy pleased to learn OF certain acts Of
The war Department, and that fact
win probably be made known to the
Secretary OF War. We are pleased too,
for that matter, ana we trust that our
satisfaction VIII also be conveyed to
the administration.
But while on the trip Mr.. crozier
studied something besides the canal
his eye roved over the defenses in and
near Delaware city, and he had an
idea. This idea he did not conceal
like many an other great man would
have done. No, he spoke right out,
and now the government viii have the
benefit of his cogitations. He recon-
mends interchangeable drills ITO famil-
lnrize each with the condition of the
service In all departments, enabling
quick enforcement. etc"
The marvel is that the officers of the
government have not thought of this
before; but they are slow in certain
particulars. It is we'll that Mr. Crozier
took this trip alone, for in a sense It
is his canal. and government officials
United states Senators and Board of
Trade committees would have ham-
ipered him. We are somewhat disap-
pointed. however, that Mr.. crozier
while ON this tour Of inspection did not
take time to give us some Hight on

the head for improved transit from

In addition to these improvements
the directors OF the road are consider
ing further plan for a branch from
West Farms along the Bronx valley to
Woodlawn, in the southern section OF
Mount Vernon. A connection with the
Interborough at West Farms is pro-
posed, the plan being eventually to
give a thorough service from the Bat

The function of the trolley roads

are accompanied by improved high
ways, the change VIII be well nigh

can be said that they have publicly am
nounced their desire for one ticket and
their willingness to come down for the
