action which brings its corresponding era
Of depression.
The popularity of our canals waned al
most to the point Of extinction. The the
pendulum swung TO the other extreme aud
we are witnessing the greatest period of
canal building the world has ever seen.
As a nation WI have turned TO canal con-
struction with the same enthusiasm that
we took up railroad building. II the rail-
roads can barely handle the traffic of today
what must the condition be ten or twenty
years from now when the possible traffic
will nearly double?
At the present time we are apparently
entering upon an era Of canal building as
enthusiastically as we did upon railroad
construction a quarter Of a century ago.
Canal projects are looming up in all parts
of the country, and old. half-neglected
waterways are being enlarged to suit the
new conditions of commerce. Canal build
ing, at its best. is an expensive UNDER
taking: compared with railroad construc-
ton. it frequently costs five. or ten times
as much to build a mile OF canal as TO
build a double track, system Of railroad
But a canal will accommodate Tar more
traffic than a railroad.-Moody's Magazine

ASA FRANCIS AND GILBERT COLLINS.

Sheriff Asa Francis, of Monmouth, is
maladroit in his championship of for
mer Justice Gilbert Collins, of Hud-
son, for the Republican nomination for
Governor. MIR. Collins is ar exception
ally able mar and would make an ex-
cellent Governor, but there are reasons
why he should not be nominated. One
is his resignation from the Supreme
Court to take up corporation practise.
The people of New Jersey did not like
that slight upon the dignity of the
State judiciary. For a similar reason
John w. Griggs, with all his fine
talents, would be an unavailable can
didate for office. The interest that
Sheriff Francis takes in Mr.. Collins
arises, however, out of his resentment.
He has evidently never forgiven JUS
tice Fort for breaking up the official
combination that protected the gilded
gambling lens at Long Branch.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN BEGUN

With the fixing of the dates for the
county and State conventions the po-
litical campaign may be said to be
fairly started. and there will now be no
surcease of politics until after the ides
of November. The absolute uncertainty
of both the local and State situations
this year sharpens the interest. 1t
will certainly compel a good class Of
nominations.
Not in many years have the leaders
of the two political parties so carefully
scanned the ground for candidates for
Governor. Much timber has been
offered and much rejected, and the
process of elimination is going on until
about the middle of September by the
process of sitting. Each party will prob
ably open its convention with a settled
urpos to nominate one certain can
didate. In a year when a political
party cannot afford to take any
chances of defeat good nominations are
practically assured. That is great
benefit Of party independence.

nur oIdest universitx.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Which Is the oldest American university,
and how was it started? M. e. d.
fThe popular theory is that Harvard.
founded in 1886, was the first college in this
country. Statistics show, however, that In
1919, a year before the New England set
tiers landed at Plymouth Rock, the Vir-
ginia c~olonists had successfully established
a university in the little settlement of Hem
rico, near what is now known at Dutch
Gap.
In 1913, twelve years after the first set
tiers landed at jamestown, the London
Company, seeing the necessity for such an
institution, set aside 10000 acres Of land
for the support of a college. George
Thorpe, a gallant English gentleman, was
sent over to Virginia to take the position
of superintendent of. college lands" The
property was divided into 100 plantations
by the company and leased to tenants.
Half of the proceeds were to 90 toward
the maintenance of the college and the
other half to the company. In 1922 Rev.
Patrick COPELAND was sent over from Lon
don in the capacity of ''rector of the uni
versity," that title being equivalent to the
principal or president of a college or school
of the present time.
The first Legislature that ever met in
America, in 1919, at Jamestown, passed a
law prOVlulDB ludL every tOWH OF borough
In the dominion should be required to fit
their children and those of the natives for
admission to the college.
On March %, 1922, the Indians attacked
the village and murdered most Of the in
habitants. So absolute and awful was the
destruction that the town was never re-
built or the college again continued, and
today that section of Henrico County
where the little town stood is wild and
uninhabited.-Ed.1

A POST.

An extension of the parcels post sys-
tenn by the government as announced
by Postmaster General Meyer may be
regarded by the aggrieved interests
that voice their protests in the Sun
and Times as another Roosevelt attack
on sacred vested interests. The ex-
press companies in combination with
the railroad companies enjoy one of the
richest and most oppressive and in
solent monoplies in the United States.
The public are completely at their
mercy. Rate charges are extortionate,
the service in busy seasons is uncer-
tain, and the companies are so we'll
hedged about by laws and regulations
that shippers are almost without rem
edy for loss by delay and other causes.
The express companies defeated he
attempt by Postmaster General Wanna
maker to establish a parcels post sys-
tenn and also blocked the efforts of
Postmaster General Cortelyou to con-
solidate the third and fourth classes of
mail and increase the weight limit.
Postmaster Meyer would increase it
from four pounds to eight or ten
pounds. which would be a good begin
ming. In Germany the government
parcels post has a limit of 10 pounds
and in France twenty-five pounds The
limit in the United States can easily
be twenty pounds.

WHEN THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

Why should Wall street hang on the
utterances of President Roosevelt at
Provincetown. Mass. tomorrow? He
is going to speak on the occasion of
the unveiling of a monument. 1t woul
tax the imagination of a novelist or a
playwright to find the remotest con-
nection between the legitimate theme
Of the address and the question Of
the relation of the government to the
trusts and the policy of the speaker,
though he be the President of the
United States. But custom has de-
stroyed logic in these matters. There is
not the slightest doubt. down to the
remotest detail, of what the Presidents
nolicy toward the trusts is.
And yet, If he speaks in public, even
though it should be at a Sunday school
picnic, he is expected to say something
on he uppermost question of the day.
And so it may be that tomorrow he

STATE HEALTH PROTECTION.

Judge Lanning, of the United States
District Court, will have don't a great
service for the State in his testimony
before the Hahn investigating commit
tee il the Legislature enacts legislation
to reconstruct the State health depart
ment and make it what 1t never has
been, effective in its appointed work.
The showing made for the State Board
of Health before the investigating COM
mittee surprised nobody, for it was
generally we'll known that he board
was a perfunctory body chiefly inter-
ested in getting out statistics at least
a year old. The executive part of the
board consists of Secretary Mitchell
and DIR. Hunt, and personal leisure and
convenience appear to be their chief
characteristics. The same indulgence
is extended to subordinates.
There is only a pretense of duty. In
the emergency at the State Hospital
for the Insane at Trenton fhe board
proved utterly Indifferent. A well or
ganized board would have grappled
with that situation. What the sani-
tary conditions are at other State in
stitutions the board has no knowledge,
for 1t never makes an examination ex-
cept when so requested, and there are
no requests. 1t may be assumed that
in all other departments under charge
of the board there is the same laxity.
1t goes without saying that the depart
ment of public health is the most i'm
portant one in the State, and yet in
New Jersey it is the poorest equipped
in the State and is inefficient to the
point of public danger.

tax LAW BENEFITS.

Vernon Stokes well says that the
.3ple of the State do not yet realize
appreciate the great economic i'm
knce of the decisions by the SUI
Court in the railroad tax cases,
1t will grow upon them after the
hx law shall have been in operation,
Ter its suspension pending adjudica-
by the courts. The annual tax on
Fst-class railroad property is increased
rby the new law from S95O,991 under
the old law to $3,50S, 500. and the in
creased tax will grow every year with
increased valuations. Under an i'm
proved system of assessment it may
reach FIVE millions annually. In addi-
tion there will be an increase in the
second-class railroad property assessed
and taxed locally. Last year this prop
erty, as assessed by the State Board
under the iDufield act, paid a total of
81, 1886. POI, and this year the total will
approximate 81, 500. 900, as assessed by
the local assessors.
That is the economic feature of the
new tax law, which now seems to be
established. The effect will be to check
municipal and county debt building
and provide long needed accommoda-
tions for the public education. But
there is an equally important moral
and political consideration. The great
influence of the railroads must now
be exerted for good government, and
the lobby evil at Trenton will be great
ly mitigated. The policy of the rail-
roads will be to promote honest and eff
ficient government, not only in the
State, but In the municipalities, in or
der that there shall be no extravaganza
in the expenditures. The railroad COM
panies will be on the same footing as
other property owners and taxpayers.
AS a result a higher class of men will
appear in legislative and other offices.
Elections will be cleaner, for there will
be no inducement to bring bad men
into public office. Legislation will be
better when the railroad power ceases
to sit at the doors of the Legislature.
Probably the railroad tax law may
prove the mother of important consti-
~tutional reforms. including district rep
re~sentation in the Senate, as the rail-
roads will no longer need the smaller
counties as rotten b%oroughs.

THE PENNSYLVANIA CAPITOL SCAN.
nAT,

The long-looked-for report of the
Pennsylvania State Capitol investiga-
ton is a conservative one. The in
v%estigators tell no more than they are
compelled to do and their recommended
tions are by no means as vigorous as
the case calls for. But nevertheless the
report is a scathing one and it shows
up a criminality hat has no parallel in
public building enterprise in the United
States.
In the construction of the capitol
there was expended $S,O0O,oOO more than
the law authorized for the purpose,
while in the furnishing of the building
the State paid Sc, 500, 900 for articles and
work that cost only 81, 500, 900 by the
most liberal calculation. The investi-
cation fully proved conspiracy, false
certificates and fraudulent invoices.
Bogus material was used. Huston, the
architect of the building, is shown up
in the blacklist colors. High State off,
Gals either shared in the loot or con-
nived at it or were the careless dupes
of the principal thieves.
And now that the facts are officially
proclaimed what is Pennsylvania going
to do about it? Probably elect q repre-
sentative of the corporations and
thieves to be State Treasurer. They do
things that way in Pennsylvania.

VIEWS OF EDITORS.
From Carrier to Postmaster.

Possibilities in the public service are
shown by the career of Edward M. Nor
gan, who has just been appointed Post
master of New York. Thirty-four years
ago he started as q temporary letter car
rier. From that point he has worked his
way upwards, steadily climbing the lad
der until he has reached the top.
But it has taken thirty-four years to
do it.
That is a long period. With another
President in the White House he might
not nave Jared so we'll. 1t is said that
Roosevelt hesitated because Morgan has
been identified with the Odell faction IN
politics, but the record of the mar as a
public servant was such that he could not
be ignored. Postmaster Morgan. there
fore. may be said literally to have forced
his way.
Therefore. MIR. Morgan is a striking
Illustration of what can be accomplished
but seldom is. let it be said. His position
is almost unique. Because of the applica-
ton of civil service rules by the gov
eminent 1t is easier to retain positions
than 1t was when changes OF administra-
| ton brought changes in office for political
reasons. Each new President was under
obligations. and those obligations We're
paid off by appointment to government
positions.
When the young man seeks and finds a
position under the government he is apt
to fall into a rut and in case OF dis
missal he is fitted for no other work
Until there is positive assurance OF al
vancement and of retention the wise youth
will look upon the successful career OF
Postmaster Morgan. who, of course, can
abe displaced by President Roosevelt's sue
cessor, as an exceptional one. as, indeed,
it is. and be governed accordingiy.-Phh-

ness and pay amusements, permit the
visitors to inspect the exhibits and en-
joy the attractions Of the fair.
By the policy pursued by the fair
management thousands of people have
been driven to the many pleasure re-
sorts in and near Norfolk, and there
is no limit to secular pleasures on a
Sunday in hotels. There has been no
notable attendance at the churches on
Sunday by reason of the closing of the
fair on that day, and doubtless if serv-
ices were held in the fair auditorium
many would attend who otherwise
would not go to church.

1t was a sultry afternoon and Larry
was perspiring and laying gas pipe In
the blistering trench. In a nearby tree
a little bird was caroling forth, shielded
by the cool branches.

with a red handkerchief. "'tis an un-

rud."
And why dc you wish you were
