TO BUY G. AND D. CANAL

Representative Hiram R. Burton, OF
Delaware, introduced in the House on
Monday a bill authorizing the secretary
of war to obtain possession. by purchase
or condemnation, of the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal, connecting the waterways
of the Chesapeake and Delaware bays.
The secretary is authorized to pay for
the property $2,515, 900, and if that sum
is not sufficient to institute condemnation
proceedings.
Immediately upon obtaining possession
of the waterways, the secretary of war is
directed to construct and maintain tide
level ship canal, with depth of not less
than thirty feet. This bill is one of those
intended to aid the protected inland
waterway from Boston. to Beaufort, in
behalf of which Representative ]. Hamp-
ton Moore of Philadelphia, is earnestly
aboring as president of the Atlantic In
land Waterways Association
The bill is based upon the report OF the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal COM
nilsson, appointed to consider the feasi-
biIity of turning the present canal into a
ship canal. The commission has recon-
mended the acquisition of the property
by the government.

WHERE THE RESPONSIBILITY LIES

The true solution of the mar
riage and divorce question lies
with the homes more than with
the legislatures. 1t is more a
matter for education and training
than of legislation. The girl
whose early education has been
gained UlP the street, whose sell
fishness has been gratified at the
expense of her parents and
whose preparation for marriage
has lacked an acquaintance with
the common duties of the home
keeper is a standing candidate
for the divorce court. The young
man who has grown up without
responsibility, who has wasted
his youth and pawned his man
hood to idle and dissolute habits
is another. The ministers VINO
are asking the state to prevent
divorce and repress marriage
have their responsibility in these
cases, many of whom have been
of their flock and under their
spiritual supervision. The par
ents are mostly responsible for
the negligence and mistaken
kindness that units children for
the duties of life. Good fathers
usually train good husbands and
good mothers usually produce
good wives.

BE FAIR In POLITICS

"There is a great deal of bub-
bling just now in the political
pots. This reveals an interest
in the coming campaign indicat-
ing a full vote and a strong draw
ing of party lines. But there
is complaint of efforts of party
managers to dictate what shall
be done with the view of pre-
venting the natural and use
full party opposition. This
holds good of both political par
ties.
"When it is sought to stand
in the way of healthy and COM
mendable opposition in the direc-
ton of preventing this or that
man from aspiring to nomination
there is a danger of a division in
party allegiance. Every Repub-
lican and every Democrat has the
right to aspire to secure political
honors, even though it be merely
that of a delegate to convention.
Political aspirations are in them
selves an indication of party ef-
fectiveness, and every man has
the unquestioned right to expect
fair treatment when it comes to
the naming of candidates for
nomination.
Certain rules and regulations
are necessary in all political or
ganizations in order to make
them effective, but it is not for a
few to set up obstacles in the
way of one set of men to advance
the interests of another set of
of men. Our Democratic friends
seem to have tried that sort of
thing and party harmony has
not been advanced. The Repub-
licans should take warning
and steer clear Of anything like
an attempt to "set up things"
as against any members of the
party. President Roosevelt
breaches a square deal, and that
is what every political organiza-
ton should bear in mind. Party
workers should be fair as among
themselves, and they should be
fair when they meet their op-
ponents. Fairness in politics is
imperative to secure the best
ends.-Morning Nea0s.

MAY RESTORE THE TIME LIMIT
General Conference Of Methodist Church
to Discuss the Subject

u UtSCuSs ING SMDleCb
The approaching General Conference
Of the Methodist Church will be OF vital
interest to worldwide Methodism. That
body, with representatives from all parts
of the world, will meet next May in Bal.
timore. Questions touching every phase
Of church work win be presented and
policies for the future decided.
The General Conference is the admins
trative body Of the church, meeting once
in four years. Il 10 the highest body OF
.Methodism and the final court OF appeals
for all questions Of ecclesiastical law and
administrative policy. In its member.
ship will be found the most conspicuous
ministers and laymen Of the Methodist
Church and the general public will expect
much OF interest from the meeting.
Among the few Of the much-talked-of
questions will be that of the length Of
pastorates. Eight years ago the distinc-
tive mark OF the Methodist preacher was
removed; up to that time it was impos-
sible for him to remain in one church
longer than five years. Then it was en-
acted to his church year by year, he
could be returned as many years as the
appointing power should SO decree. The
removal OF the time-limit has not been
received with universal favor; it begins to
look as though the question would again
be presented, and there is no telling as to
lust the outcome.
Here in Delaware the removal of the
time-limit has worked most acceptably,
and quite a number OF pastors are now
serving long terms. But return to the
time-limit will probably be urged by
many of the delegates.
There is another question that is likely
to be debated; the reduction of the size
of General Conference itself. The church
now has in the ruling body the same
number of laymen as ministers; and since
that has been the law, the conferences has
been very large and unwieldy. The pres
ent body will number nearly 800. The
delegates are elected according to the
number OF ministers, one for every 45 ef-
fective members Of an annual conference.
The church press has given publicity
to plans from many legislators. There
is one that appears feasible and looks as
though it would work admirably; it is to
elect delegates on the basis of church
membership. 1t proposes that the pres.
ent General Conference settle the number
to constitute the body in 1912 and then
assign the representation according to
the membership of the church. It is the
same plan as that followed in electing
members of congress.
OF course the election of new bishops
will be among the greatest matters to be
considered and decided. The most con-
spicuous candidate in this region will
probably be the Rev. David 6. Downey,
D. D., assistant secretary of the Sunday
school publications of the church.

PETITION TO SAVE RAUGHLEY

In the hope of securing the release Of
Lorenzo G. Raughley, the politician and
retired farmer of Seaford, who was sem
fenced to pay a fine of 500 and serve
three months in the county Jail, his
friends are circulating petition through
the county asking the court to commute
the sentence. Already there are 1000
names signed to the petition.
Raughley, who has served several days
in Jail, was seen in the iailyard and seemed
to be taking his imprisonment much
caimer than at first. He still protests bis
innocence of buying votes and claims that
he is being prosecuted. He is eager to be
allowed to go home to look after his grow
ing crops. Ten acres of his farm being in
peas, they need his attention at once.
He was busy Monday, receiving many
friends.

In Memory.

On July 9, the angels took Lit
tie Idella Burtchette, a 13-days-old
little babe to dwell in peace at home
with its mother Weep not, father
and little brothers, for little Idella
is sleeping now with mother. Dear
father, we know that it seems to
you, as it always does, that the
Lord has taken from your home the
Joy and the one you love best, but
remember that the Lord is like unto
the gardener that plucketh the
sweetest flower for his home for his
own. But let us say:
Peaceful be thy slumbers;
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Though no more will join our num-
bers;
Though no more our sorrow know;
Yet again we hope to meet them
When the days of life are fed,
And in heaven with Joy to greet
them,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
Let us also strive to let our light
so shine as did little Idella, that
when the curtains are lifted we will
see her smiling face and on His
bosom rest. We extend our heart
felt sympathy to the heart stricken
father and brothers and relatives
in their sad bereavement. May
Gods richest blessings rest upon
them.
aA
We had joyful treasure once,
They were our Joy and pride,
We loved them, all perhaps too
we'll,
For soon they slept and died.
All is dark within our path;
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the ones we love so dearly,
Have forever passed away.
