wATER WAYS CONVENTION.

HE convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Water Ways Association began in Nor
tolk Va, to-day, and it promises to be one Of
the most important gatherings ever held by the
Association. Wilmington is particularly inte--
ested, as the first project urged by the Associa-
ton is the building of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Ship Canal. This city has always occupied
a high position in conventions of the Association
The Association has made rapid progress.
few years ago there was but the slightest dis
cusson of the water ways problem. The Asso-
citation has taken up mass of scattered senti-
ment in favor of improving our water ways and
welded 1t into powerful organization which is
sure to exert strong influence on legislation at
Washington. The Association has planned an
caborately linked inner water way system ex-
tending from Boston to Galveston and as a
result of its work the last session of Congress
provided for a survey offthe entire route along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Much OF this sur
has sRuch-tn accomplish and the thing most
needed now is TO agitate for the ship canal, to
make an energetic beginning of actual coustruc-
ton This canal. as is well known. would con-
meet the upper waters OF the Chesapeake with
the head of Delaware Bay, and would shorten
the route from the port of Baltimore TO the ports
of Europe by more than 900 miles. No wonder
that Baltmoreans have been deeply interested
in the project Think what the canal would
mean to the western shippers OF coal and iron
and steel this cutting off of three hundred miles
BY means Of the ship canal.
President Taft has declared in favor OF national
improvements Of water ways, and the convention
should impress upon him when he visits it that
the best beginning is with the Chesapeake and
Delaware Ship Canal.

PRIVILEGED CLASS IN DIVORCE.

NOME OF the ministers who have been trying
to create sentiment against divorce,
apparently despairing of making much head
way IN that direction, have begun to plead for
equal treatment by the courts Of all involved
in divorce disputes. The secrecy with which
Mrs Astor obtained her divorce in New York
recently is the incident that has caused sharp
comment not only in the pulpit, but in the press
For example, Canon Peters, of New York, a
noted Episcopal clergyman, says that the manner
in which the divorce was secured has been de-
clared scandaous and improper
Some OF the newspapers that made the criti-
cisms were vexed because they could not get
the proceedings TO publish them, but that aside,
If the law is supposed to be the same for the
rich and the poor, there is no reason why special
consideration should have been extended to Mrs
Astor. And the very secrecy which surrounded
the securing of that divorce flies in the face of
those who have argued that one of the best
remedies against divorce is publicity. II was
with that view in mind that our own law makers
threw open divorce proceedings to the public in
this state, but we believe there has been no less
ening in the applications for divorce since the
practice of open hearings began.
1t was not only the creation of a privileged
class in divorce that Canon Peters commented
upon. He sees efforts everywhere to create a
privileged class based upon wealth alone A
beautiful thing it is, he remarks to see the rich
after death distributing their millions for chari
table and educational purposes, but he believes
that if the industries through which their for
tunes were amassed had poured forth their
wealth into greater number of pockets it would
be better.
In other words, he advocates a more equitable
distribution of wealth. And that is the thing
which is after all at the bottom of all our social
problems.

WHAT CRITTENTON
HOME is DOING

The Board Of Managers of the Flor
ence Crittenton Home held an infor-
NAL meeting Monday night, at which
notice was given of the coming cleo
ton Of officers and the proposed in
crease in the board from seven to nine
members. Next week the board will
meet for the consideration Of annual
reports
The home appeals for public contri-
buttons. They are in urgent need Of
table-linen, old muslin, second hand
clothing, rugs, carpets. mating. and
furniture-especially a table for the
meeting room. During the past year
the house has served 1000 meals, and
housed twelve adults and eight chill
dren. Nine girls have been placed
in good permanent homes. The secre-
tary. Mrs. Theodore w. Francis. said
that there was more of a demand for
girls for housework than they we're
able to supply. Many Of the girls
who come there-from all over Della
ware-have no relatives or friends
whatever. During the day they go
out working and bring some support
to the home in that way. but most OF
the funds come from public help.
The managers have sometimes had

as conditions will allow, there IS not

BUSY PRESIDENT OF DAUGHTERS.

He position of PresGen. of the Daughters
y of the American Revolution is becoming
a post of considerable labor and importance. Mrs.
Mathew d. Scott, the head of the order has
found it necessary TO give up her fine residence
at Bloomington Ill.,. and move to Washington,
where she has taken handsome apartments which
will be the headquarters of the order.
Mrs. Scott also has plan by which she hopes
to shut off the debates at the sessions of national
conventions of the Daughters. In the past these
conventions have been lively affairs. Everyone
has been free to have her say and there have
been high old times. 1t is proposed TO have the
subjects TO be discussed decided upon before the
meetings, or perhaps Mrs. Scott may hit upon
the plan followed in political conventions of hav
ing all resolutions and things that might create
a racket sent to a committee which buries them.
But the Daughters have enjoyed the free and
open debates of their conventions and they may
object to the application of anything that savors
Of Cannonism If applied at a convention.

Sing hey woman's mother-wlt and

It is leading pigs.
No trouble with the porkers in Portu-
gal unless the men seek to market them.
Then there's the usual wild hullabalo, the
prodding and the pushing. When the
farmers wife takes the job in hand. the
trouble vanishes. The journey becomes. a
pleasure trip for woman and beast
It's tact that does IL and, shall we
say #, experiences with masculines. The
Portuguese women walk ahead OF the
porkers carrying baskets filled with the
savory things adored Of pigs. The scent
gets out and ravishes porcine nostrils and
the drove trots ecstatically to market;
perhaps to doom for 1t may be the butch

the purchase. But the pigs, with true sar-

cases when women think they are manlpu-

They simply take the line OF least resist

DANGER IN THE BATH TUB.

HOSE who take their daily tub baths" and
= enjoy them must read with alarm the 'eN-
perence of William Regan who vexed the
patience of the patient people at one of our
hospitals to such extent that the police were
called upon TO remove him.
The unfortunate man seems to have had i
hobby for bathing At the hospital his hobby
pursued him. and he spent the day in trying to
stay in the bath tub. Perhaps he wanted the
hydropathio treatment instead of the homeo-
pathic, and the hospital people might have
locked him in the bath room for several hours
to see what the effect would be.
One OF the papers reported Mr.. Regan's ex-
perienoes by saying that he took bath and was
thought TO be demented. Others who spend an
hour or SO in a bath room will have to watch
out OF people will have suspicious about them.
In the olden times, in the DAYS not long ago,
man who was too fond of the tub was looked
upon as sort of crank if nothing worse by
the "once weekers' or the "onoe a monthers''
or those who visited the bath room once year,
# at all. But here we have a semi-offcial medi-
cal decision that man who dashes through the
hall in the alleged garb of Adam, gets into tub

If I could only lay my hand upon your
brow,
II could only tell you OF my past;
You'd wonder that a smile could wreathe
my face.
You'd wonder that my cheefulness could
last;
But let me tell you, now that have
learned.
To bow submissive. to the will OF God;
To smile when darkness comes, as we'll as
light,
To walk with calmness underneath the
rod.
Sometimes I've faltered. and I'd almost
fall,
When thorns we're sharp, along the way
trod.
Then would pray unto the thorn
crowned Christ.
And find sweet solace when talked to
God;
Sometimes dark clouds will hover Ger
my way,
And can scarcely see the steps 1 take,
Then / reach out, and clasp the nail-torn
hand.
I know I'm safe-I trust for His dear
sake:
Perhaps it isn't always best to see my
way,
For If the light was always to us given.
Then we might wander in forbidden paths
And miss the one that leads us on to
Heaven.
It isn't always best that flowers should
grow,
Nor zephyr soft, should always fan our
brow,
Because we'd then forget that storms
could come.
And think 'twould always be as calm
as now;
Me thinks that the rough waves and
storms, and rain.
Are Just the things that VIC poor mortals
need;
For If our way was always sweet and
calm
Wed have no way to test our strength

And let the waves and winds surge

For is He not my Father?-I his child.
