Grafton Teachers
Shot the Rapids
PROF. GEORGE H. coLEBANK IS
NOW AN APPLICANT FOR A
CARNEGIE HERO MEDAL.

GRAFTON, July 17.-Monday even
ing Prof. G. H. Colebank went boat
riding with several friends. After a
pleasant excursion about the most
beautiful portions of the Tygart Val
ley river they directed their course
down stream. The willy eddies Of the
river caught their light running craft
and before they were aware of what
vas happening Mr.. Colebauk shot the
shoots above the Elephant Hole with
all on board.
The spectacle of the genial professor
and his friends dashing through the
rapids beneath the railroad bridge
was a sight which thrilled the hearts
of all who beheld it, After gallant
endeavor to stern the tide the hercu-
lean exertlons of Prof Colebank were
Of no avail and 1t seemed as the whole
party were destined to dire iestruc.
ton when at length their plight was
discovered by some of Grafton's most
loyal School pupils who plunged to
the rescue and succeeded in drawing
the boat and frightened occupants to
the shore.

Sometimes Go Fishing.

These are the sweltering days when
the honest dog goes mad and the more
or less honest correspondent writes
war stories. The newspapers just now
are full Of prophecies Of cruel war to-
morrow, or the day after, between
Japan and the United States. The
Hague is greatly disturbed; all for
eign nations have their field glasses TO-
cused on the situation; Japan Is send
ing an ultimatum at regular intervals
Of twenty.three minutes; our navy has
been placed on a war footing and Is
to be mobllbized in the Pacific; whole
freight steamer filled with munitions
of war is to be sent to the Philippines,
etc., etc.
1t is all very interesting reading;
but, like the oId.tlme novels, Is ex
tremely long on thrill and very short
on truth. All citizens should have
pasted in their hats for ready refer
ence at this time this sentence: This
is the political season." Look for the
woman is the French method in al
cllmes. Loow for the politics in al
sensations is good judgment Just now
The President is sending our battle
ship feet to the Pacific. That does
not mean war. 1t does not even meal
a talking match over the back fence
1t simply means that we have a right
to have our ships wherever we please;
that there is Just as much reason te
have them on the Pacific coast as OF
the Atlantic; and that incidentally
Presidential nomination and election
are approaching and the administration
is not as popular on the Pacific coasi
as It's wellwishers could desire, Dele

ed up in various ways. Battleships dc

during the last school year student
at vassar College. She has been tak-
ing a special course, and has been
classified as a freshman, being sup

sons was unable to do SO. Some time

ed as a director Of the Delaware City

ADANGERoUs BILL.

a BILL has been introduced in the Senate at
4 Dover designed to prevent the exploitation
Of so-called wild cat mining and other invest
ment schemes. 1t would, as we understand, pro-
hibit the advertising in the newspapers of such
concerns, and also the distribution OF advertising
matter by pamphlet or in any other ways OF pub
licity. Should such a bill be enacted into law, it
would be difficult to draw the line and tell just
what are the wild cat" concerns Who is to be
the judges Some mining companies which have
been considered by many wild cats have proved
most lucrative investments, as many lmington-
ians can attest When the Legislature attempts
through law, to guarantee the SAFETY of schemes
that are advertised either through the newspapers
OF otherwise, it is undertaking huge task. 1t
might as we'll prohibit the advertisement of any
wares of a merchant whose gOO-s might not prove
to be all that they are represented to be in the
advertisements. People must exercise their own
judgment in these matters. The wisdom Of the
legislator cannot suppant the business acumen
of the people in general No one would admit
that he had "wilfully' advertised fraud and how
could the "wilful' part of it be proved?

sENAroR pupoNr Is RICH.

A MOST important bill in the interest OF en-
1 n ployes Of railroad companies was passed
in the Senate at Washington the other afternoon.
It limits the time Of continuous labor Of railroad
men TO sixteen hours, and requires that they shall
be given rest at least ten out OF the twenty-four
hours. AS it was finally adopted there was only
one vote in the negative that OF the venerable
Senator Pettus, of Alabama, whose-notions of
Federal interference probably caused his strange
action. There was considerable preliminary vot-
ing on various amendments. but the substitute
offered by Senator Lafollette, of Wisconsin, who
has been conspicuous in railroad legislation, was
finally adopted and considered the best.
It is gratifying to Delawareans to note that
Senator dupont recorded his vote in favor of the
LafoIlette amendment which was carried by a
total of SO yeas and 81 nays In this record Sen
ator DUPONT stood with the progressive Republ-
cans of the Senate. On the side against him we're
Senators Foraker. Depew Kean and others who
are generally regarded as representing the inter
ests,of' the. corporations in the Senate.
We feel sure that Senator DUPONT will be APP
plauded for hIsvote. onlths question, and if it is
an Indication of what his future course will be,
Delawareans may rest'assured that the new SEN
ator win be on theSfght side OF important matters
that come before that body for consideration.
Senator's DUPONT, from his large experience as
president ola railroad company, knows the trials
and tribulations of the employees and the nerve
racking effect of long hours without hope of relief
But the one principal point of this incident is
thatlSenator DUPONT will do his own thinking and
will vote in accordance with his best judgment
He will not be swayed by private or personal in
terests if there should be any, when he expresses
his views in the Senate. In other words, Colone
dupont has established himself as his own boss
not to be dominated by cliques. If any on,
doubted this, his vote in the Senate will dispel al
such fears.
Senator DUPONT has started well in his career
as a representative Of Delaware in the uppe
branch Of the National Legislature. He has dem
onstrated that he ought to have been in the Sen
ate long ago.

NEW SENATOR PLEAsEs THEM.

= RATIFYING indeed to the new senator
~ Mr.. Richardson, must be the expressions
of commentator with which his election as
United States senator have been received in diff
ferent parts of the country He will enter upon
his duties with the esteem and confidence not
only of the people Of Delaware, but OF those
throughout the country.
We trust that his election will result in the
elimination of factonalism in the party in the
State. Mr., Richardson has given assurances to
that effect and we have no doubt that all Repub-
Leans, without regard to past differences, will be
treated on the same level If this course is pur-
sued, the Republican party Of Delaware will have
no fear for the future.
