FINANCIAL SYSTEM.

Il II is very evident that the Monetary Commits
4 sion which is to recommend a change in
our financial system is not to act hastily. The
commission has been investigating the systems
of other nations and there have been reports
that central federal bank would be advocated.
But this is by no means certain. Some of the
commissioners doubtless have fears that such
bank would not be adapted to our country and
that some of the things suitable for other nations
under different conditions would not work well
here
1t seems that the opinions of bankers them
selves and of men high in the financial world
are not in accord Although some hnanolers Ia
vor the proposed central bank others are against
the project Many small bankers are not in ia
vor of such bank.
The commissioners realize this diversity Of
opinion and they WILL therefore, act with pru-
dence and caution They must really conduct
an educational campaign, must await the slow
creation of public sentiment in this matter, must
find out what the people want.
Evidently sentiment as to the best system has
not been fully determined It is merely forming.
Most men competent TO speak upon the question
believe that there should be a reformation OF
our monetary system, that great country like
this should not be subject TO cycles OF financial
depression, TO the whims of a currency system
that in the midst of plenty suddenly throws bust
mess out of Joint.
They realize also that the problem of making
a system which shall do away with the dam
gers of panics, or at least mitigate their effects
is not to be decided lightly or with flourish
of the pen. 1t is we'll to understand that the
prime purpose of the Monetary Commission has
been one of study and investigation to get
light on a difficult subject and there need be no
fear that a measure will be forced through Con-
gress on the jump, but whatever is finally adop-
ted will be enacted only after the most painstak-
ing efforts.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs CONGRESS

IT He sixth annual Rivers and IIarbors Con-
gress convened in Washington to-day.
Hundreds of delegates arc in attendance. They
come from all parts of the country. To the BUSH
ness men-of the Far West the trip to Washing
ton means the loss OF time and money, but it
merely shows the great interest they feel i'll the
matter-the determination that Congress shall
finally do something for the improvement of the
waterways.
For six years there has been an organized
body Of influential business men working with
one definite object in view Add to the Rivers
and Harbors Congress the Deeper Waterways
Association, and we have two powerful bodies
Of men working jointly for the same purpose
The convention to-day is of especial import
ancc to Delaware The Waterways Association
had its inception in Wilmington. From this
city spread the movement that has become ma
tiou-wide. Wilmington, OF course. is repre-
sented at the congress to-day. Delaware is
conoomed because the FIRST improvement to be
made. if the plans are carried out, is the pur-
chase of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
and the converting of il into ship canal.
ANY plan for the improvement of rivers and
harbors must necessarily affect Wilmington and
the other parts Of Delaware because Whining
ton. for her commerce and her industries de-
ponds much upon her water facilities and adj
vantages The other parts of the State should
be concerned because of the frontage of Della
ware on the river and bay and ocean, and the
afford water communication to almost every
town in Delaware.
The scheme of the Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress is for the issuance Of bonds bv the govern
ment to be devoted to waterways improvement.
The convention to-day Is the ono great body that
takes a comprehensive view of waterways inn
provement embracing the entire country. There
have been many conventions for specific local
projects but the National Congress is concerned
with ALL
President Taft who spoke at the opening ses-
sion of the congress has on many occasions OK
pressed his sympathy with the idea of national
system of waterways improvement. 1t would,
therefore, seem that the Rivers and Harbors
Congress has stirred up sentiment sufficient 20
make the National Congress heed the demands
that are so insistently made for the improvement
Of waterways.
The duty of our Representative and Senators
in Washington in this matter seems to IT'S per-
fectly clear. They should continue to be ag-
gressve and active for the plans advocated
by the Rivers and Harbors Congress. The time
has come for definite action.

Requirements For chauffsurs.

New York World
The chauffeur whose rational view
OF the duties OF his calling is printed
elsewhere on this page is one OF the
great majority OF drivers of whom the
public knows little. They are no part
OF parcel Of the reckless minority who
MAIN and kill and leave their victims
in the roadways. They Ego along day
by day skilfully guiding their cars In
and out Of the difflcult traffic lines,
constantly on the alert and watching
signals as an engineer of fast train
watches his block signals"
The comparison Of the chauffeur's
occupation 10 the locomotive engineers
Is apt and gives pcrtinenco TO the
recommendation that the chauffeur
should undergo q training analogous
to that Of engineers. AS our cores
pondent asks:
shall the chauffeur be less compe-
tent than the locomotive engineer? The
engineer has his orders. has a track
kept clear for him by the dispatcher;
he has only to watch his own right
of way, his own signals, his own sche-
dule, his own machine; yet no has 70
serve a long apprenticeship and pass
most rigid examination before he
is intrusted with so responsible a po-
stion.
The chauffeur cannot consign
scores to destruction by a moments
carelessness. But there can be no
question that in intrusting the driver
Of a powerful car with the right OF
way in a crowded thoroughfare on
the mere payment Of 50 and a personal
statement OF his fitness the State
shows a wanton disregard for public
safety. There is reason 10 believe that
the standard OF efficiency among
chauffeurs Is being elevated as well
by the efforts of automobile associa-
tions and chauffeurs' clubs as by the
wedding out of incompetents. The
many Inexperienced drivers who have
hastily been drafted into the service
will in time be eliminated or they will
have acquired the capacity for the
safe handling OF their cars. The fact
that chauffeurs are practically as well
paid as engineers and enjoy additional
perquisites will also eventually tend
10 raise standards by improving the
personnel Of tho profession.
But this reform should not be left
TO the operation Of natural causes. It
should be expedited by legislation and
by the establishment OF legal safe
guards. The present conditions under
which a youth with the capacity Of
a delivery wagon driver is granted the
power of life and death in the pub
lie streets are a reproach.

WANT A IS
FOOT CHANNEL
Philadelphia congressman
Seek Appropriation to Push
Work at Once

WASHINGTON, Dec s.--General Bing-
ham will call a conference Of the Phila-
delphia members to discuss what course
they shall pursue relative to obtaining an
appropriation for work on the Delaware
River. The Government experts recon-
mend 100000 for 1910 for maintenance OF
the work already finished.
The survey for a s5-foot channel has
been finished and Major Deakyne has been
asked to give an estimate on the cost Of
this work. The Philadelphia members de-
sire TO obtain an appropriation to begin
the work for the deeper channel at once
and will ask aid from New Jersey and
Delaware TO push the scheme. The Riv-
ers and Harbors Committee Is holding
daily sessions and unless prompt action
is taken by the Philadelphia Congressman
there will only be appropriated this year
the $9oOoOo recommended.
The grounding Of the Prairie has arous-
ed some opposition to approprlating money
for the Delaware river. Some Of the Con-
gressmen want 10 know whether the 90
foot channel Is choking up in places. or
whether the Prairie was out OF her course.
They also desire 70 know what tho ex-
pense is TO be for maintaining tho SO-foot
channel.
on Thursday Representative J. Hamp-
ton Moore and Representative Small, OF
North Carolina will address the Rivers
and Harbors Committee In favor Of the
deeper Atlantic waterways scheme. The
idea Is 70 begin work FIRST on a canal be-
tween the Delaware river and Chesapeake
Bay.
Evening journal., 1909-12-08
Editorial
Opinion
Farming in Germany.

Baltimore American.
Tho Germans are probably applying
scientific knowledge to practical pur-
poses more extensively and resultfully
than any other nation. Farming has
been elevated into a science in Ger
many more generally than in any other
country on the globe. The aim of sci
cntihc farming is not simply TO make
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before, but 10 increase the grass,
grain, vegetable or fruit product three
fold or fourfold. Every farmer knows
that there is a way by which the pro-
duct OF his acres might be doubted,
but there are not many who under
stand how the acreage yield might be
quadrupled. Whether tho quadrup-
ling can he easily accomplished or
not, will depend Of course upon Wheth-
err the land has been allowed TO lapse
to low stage OF productiveness.
The raising OF land to an extraor-
binary degree Of fertility must be ac-
complished by the proper use Of rightly
proportional chemical fertilizers. The
adjustment of artificial fertilizers so
that they shall be just rightly proper
toned to meet the needs Of a particular
grain, grass, vegetable or fruit, is one
OF the problems with which applied
chemistry has been for years graphing.
It would be too much to say that the
problems Of soil enrichment have been
all solved. Wonders have been accom-
plished, however, IN renovating worn
out soils and in raising 10 an inten-
sified degree OF productiveness soils
that are not worn out.
Germany in particular has demon
strated tho capabilities OF intensified
farming. The American wheat grower
is generally satisfied II he gets twenty
five bushels Of wheat to the acre. The
German wheat grower aims to and
generally succeeds in bringing his
average up TO so bushel to the acre.
Occasionally there is a, 5O-bushel to
the acre corp in this country, but not
often. But If Germany can do It,
and II It can be sometimes done In
this country, the American farmer
should not rest satisfied until he finds
