THE DELAWARE AND CHESAPEAKE

President Roosevelt has APP
pointed General Felix Agnus.
editor and publisher of the Balti-
more american, as chairman OF
the Commission on the Delaware
and Chesapeake Canal, and has
associated with him Major Flag
Ter of the Engineer Corps of the
army and Engineer Chambers OF
the navy.
Here is a practical step IN a
project which has long been
mooted. 1t assures thorough
consideration Of the route and all
the elements Of the problem and
an intelligent and adequate<re-
port. General Agnus will bring
to the examination sound business
capacity and large conception
of the advantages and value of
the interior water way. He rep
resents the public sense and the
commercial interests of the great
and important section directly
concerned. The engineers will
supply the professional skill,and
meet the technical requirements.
A ship channel between the
Delawareand the Chesapeake will
in itself alone be justified by its
own immediate uses. But its
operation would be so advan
tageous that it would stimulate
the further development of the
same idea, and it would Become
part Of a comprehensive system
of inland water communication
extending along the whole Attain
tic coast. This larger scheme
will find its first exporimenaA
test ia the easy and important
connecdon between @e DelawNFe

The Study of Agriculture.

Modern agriculture is a sci
ence. 1t includes the study of
many high school and college
text books to qualify one for an
instructor in the primary prin-
ciples of tilling the soil. 1t is
both theoretical and practical.
The study of Indian corn is as
important in the development of
the student mind as is the study
of Greek. 1t presents living OBJ
iect lessons in illustration which
are more valuable than dead Ian
guage. The study of the classics
is no more divine or reVerential
than the study of farm machin-
cry and Irish potatoes. Many a
poor boy Injuries his health fret
ting over transIatiOns of Latin
when he should be learning how
to transplant onions.

ALL OWING TO BANANA PEEL
@Little Thing" That Lay on Wash
ington Sidewalk Responsible for
Many Hap ppenings.

People are inclined to pooh
pooh "little thing yet little
things are often b.g things. For
example, a banana peel lay in
wait on a Washin2ton sidewalk
not long ago. 1t was a little
thing, indeed a cas,od, a despic-
able thing; yet Iestiny had
placed it there for Eer own pur-
poses.
A near-sighted to1r:st came
along with his nose bleied in a
guidebook; he stepped on the
banana peel; his heels few up
and the rest Of him came down
with a d. S. t. for "duu, sicllen-
ing thud'O on the sidewalk. In
his fall his legs got complicated
with a ladder which a PAINTER
was using, leaning against
house, the ladder slipped and
came down, and a pail OF red
paint was dOused over the rccum-
bent tourist, covering him as
thoroughly as if you had got it
done by the day.
The painter, in his descent,
struck on a big bundle of "wash"
that a passing colored "wash
lady" was carrying on her head.
Thus cushioned, the painter es.
capped without serious injuries.
but the wash lady" was sen
sprawling on the walk, and witt
her bundle of wash had gone 2
wig she had been wearing, reveal
ing her to be a man instead of
woman.
BY this time the police had, by
some mistake, arrived, and they
recognized the erstwhile wash
lady" as a well-known fugitive
from justice who had been elud-
ing them in this disguise. A re-
ward of 5000 had been offered for
him and the painter got his half
of this for bringing about the dis
cOvery.
To go back a little, when the
accident happened the lady who
occupied the house rushed out
and assisted the PROSTATE and
paint-soaked tourist TO his feet
and into her spare bedroom,
where, after sending out for
some new clothes, he eventually
made himself presentable again.
To make a long story short, the
tourist, who was a well-tO-do
bachelor, was so affected by the
attentions Of the lady, who was
a lOrn widow, that the two soon
made a match of it.
After all that, who could say
that a banana peel is a "little
thingW-Pathfnder.

No man arrives at a perfect or
Just state of mind who does not ex-
anime and consider both sides of
a question. This is the way the
statesman reaches correct conclu-
sions; It is the course that judges
must pursue; it is what a jury is
sworn to do, and it is what every
fair-minded man, who does not
wish to injure his fellow man, will
do.
Then there is the element Of pre-
iudice to be considered. tits con-
ceivable that there are few men
who are not susceptible to that
greatest and most dangerous
human weakness prejudice. Men
become prejudiced without know

what appears to be wrong, will
be impressed. Another man, also
with a hidden purpose, appears in
due time to repeat to the neighbor
the same story, with new varia-
tions and fresh paint. The neigh
bor is now stirred to indignation.
Then comes a newspaper whose
editor has an ak to grind or who
thinks he has a grievance or who
fails to get an Office or wants one,
and in it's columns the story told
by the first man and again by the
second man is elaborated in colors
that make the victim of the plot a
creature to be despised, to be
Stunned, to be mathematical, to
be destroyed. Thus the founda-
tion for prejudice, for envy, for
hatred. is laid deep and wide.
All this theatrical play-thls
shifting of scenery with devils and
minor demons smeared upon it,
this flashing of lights to represent
lightning, this pounding of drums
and rattling of gongs for thunder
effects will be wasted upon the
man has fair and open mind,
who believes in square deal'
and who refuses to be stampeded;
in other words, who declines to be
Influenced to the point of preju-'
dice. He will wait to hear the
other side. He will consider that
at some time in his own experience
perhaps he himself has been mis-
represented, lied about and falsely
accused; that he himself has been
laid unGer suspicion by designing
and irresponsible persons and no
one knows better than he of the
bitterness and the sorrow that has
come to him in consequence of
such attempts on the part Of an
enemy or combination Of enc
mics to destroy his character by the
practice Of this kind Of injustice.
It is pretty good evidence of the
lack Of responsibility and the un-
soundness Of mans reasoning
mowers when we find him thought

cations, he accepts common report
