TO PROBE CAUSE
OF RIVER WRECKS

The Pennsylvania Association Of
Pilots for Delaware Bay and River has
resolved to make an independent in
vestigation of the conditions at Grubb's
Landing, just below Marcus Hook.
Within a year three ocean, going
steamships have gone aground at tlat
point--the Menominee, Of the Red Star
Line; the North Point and the Abes-
sinia. This has caused the pilots to
believe that somebody must be at fault
in calculations, and they desire to
ascertain to their own satisfaction
whether the pilots or the government
should be blamed.
Members Of the association are said
TO hold that the Abessinia. the last
to go aground. struck either an anchor
or rock while proceeding. The pilots
win make a thorough investigation.
John Virdin, president Of the associa-
ton, called on Major De Keim and
talked over the grounding Of the three
liners. He notified Major De Keim of
the pilots intention.
1T all rests upon whether these ves-
sells went aground inside or outside

the channel their pilots. il would seem,

Mr.. MACLEAN TO ADDRESS
CHESTER BOARD OF TRADE

r. J. MacLean, president Of the VIII
mington Board of Trade, will g6 TO
Chester tomorrow night to address the
members of the Chester Board of
Trade on the subject, Board
of Trade Organization" VIII
mington has what is regarded as one
of the largest and most enthusiastic
Boards of Trade in this section of the
country and largely through the efforts
Of Mr.. Maclean.
President B. c. Fox, Of the Chester
board, has become enthusiastic in the
work since his election a few weeks
ago and does not intend to allow any
grass to grow on the available sites
in that city for industries and the busi-
ness interests, If the board can in any
way prevent it. He has surrounded
himself with a live executive commit
tee upon which will fall the bulk Of
the work and he feels that the efforts
of the board will be a large factor in
the future business affairs of the city.
There has always been a sort of an
estrangement between the Board of
Trade and the Chester Councils, but
President Fox intends that such shall
not be the case in the future that IL
any effort on his part will prevent
il.

One evening they were citing before
a fire. The children were asleep. The
husband was dozing over a paper. The
wife was darning stockings. There
was a ring at the doorbell, and pres
emily a man walked in past the maid
who had admitted him.

Now, a similar scene to this had been
drawn in Whiton's novel that Hogden
had appropriated. Wilton had han.

Editorial
Opinion
Or. Abbott,s ideal Woman.

New York World.
DR.. Lyman Abbott defines in seven
clauses the ideal woman. AS the terms
may be condensed they call for a woman
who is the slave not Of fashion nor the
dressmaker, who is not afraid that work
will spoil her hands, who wears shoes in
which she can walk, thereby getting her
color from exercise instead Of the rouge
box; who develops her love Of beauty in
her home, who is industrious, sympa-
and true friend"
The doctors specifications demand a
great deal, but nothing which should be
regarded as supcr-normaL They contain
no references to ability in the art OF
rhythmic breathing, nor to a yearning for
the banot. Indeed. the required qualities
are so homely that they might be the pos
sessions OF a woman who had never
doubled at an afternoon OF bridge, had
never considered whether or not she
ought to smoke in public, and had never
courted the application OF the adjective
advanced"
II happens that just as DR.. Abbott's
words are before us free translation is
printed of a Berlin papers tribute to
Elena of Italy:
She is a reIncarnation of Esther in her
surprising beauty and her devotion to her
people; she is a reproduction of Miriam in
her courage, of Sara in her gracious dig
nifty, her moral purity and her loving de-
ference to her husband, and Of Rachel in
her affection for her children. With all
these traits OF historic women she pos
sesses one quality which is the flower OF
modern social progress-a broad and ac-
tice humanitarianism. desire and a win
to help her fellow-beings.
We seem TO find. therefore, that the
Doctors ideal is as little a creature OF
station as Of the womans club. She is the
light Of many democratic American
homeland she may be a queen.

developed many defects and there have
been suggested innumerabie remedies.
1t long ago became apparent that one
serious weak spot in our elective sys-
tenn is In the liability of The people to
be 50 carried away with party ardor
as to select an unfit agent or repre-
sentative to fill some important station.
Under the term system by which an
elected official-fit or unfit-stays in for
two OF four years, there was no sug-
gested method Of discharging on short
notice any such employed servant of
the people who might, after induction
into Office, demonstrate incompetency
or untrustworthiness.
Now, in the constitutional systems OF
few States and of quite a number
Of American cities the principal of "The
Recall" a remedy imported from Aus
tralia. has been made available. Thcs
far the recall, which might just as well
be called the discharge, has rarely been
applied in this country. but the city
OF Los Angeles, Cal, has recently
directed attention TO the fact that
where the method is provided It can
be promptly put to use. A large NUM-
Der Of voters IN the Western city be-
Sdiic NlcSdNioutu Mllu lnc OInCidl
methods of the mayorN Ten thousand
Of these voters, constituting the requI-
site fifteen per cent. of the voting popu-
lation, signed a petition for the recall
Of the chosen executive and, in accord
with the provisions of the city charter,
a new election was ordered and a new
candidate selected to run against the
mayor. The election to decide whether
or not the holding official should be
dismissed and another installed in lis
place would have been held next week,
but the de facto mayor lodged the test
by resigning.
And 80 the principle of the recall
will not be given a practical illustrn-
ton after all The attempt to apply
the method was carried far enough,
however, to demonstrate that 1t Is
workable. 1t is al remedy which the
saving common sense of the people
may be trusted not to apply except in
acute cases.

Watching a Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.

Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia.
The Abbe Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric Juice.
but IL was by the careful and convince
ing experiments Of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge of
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while it was yet a terri
tory, and was called upon TO treat a
gun shot wound OF the stomach in a
Canadian yoyageur--Alexis st. Martin.
When the wound healed a permanent
opening was left by means of which
food could be placed in the stomach
and gastric juice taken from it.
Beaumont made scientific experiments
with his crude means and wrote a book,
which today is recognized among tho
classics Of physiology.
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists so that today medicine knows
what the stomach. does with food and
what food does TO the stomach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how TO make them best

Now that the House at Washington has de-
cided to amend its rules although it did not COM
plete the reform by defeating Uncle Joe Cannon
for speaker, the country may expect that active
work will begin on the tariff bill. The Cannon
rules of the House were oppressive to any
man who believed that as Congressional rep
resentative he had some right to take part in the
proceedings. Under Cannonism at Washington
a Congressman was of as much account in Wash
ington as an Indian river crab.

Practical and theIdeaI

Copyright, 1909. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
Leland Wilton was born to litera-
ture, but unfortunately after the school
he was fitted for had had its day. His
friend Forbes Hogden, a practical fel-
low, unincumbered with the slightest
ideality, used to poke fun at him for
writing poems and stories that no pub
Usher would accept.
"Why don't you get down to what
people want to read2" said Hogden.
Il can't write what Isn't in me-" re-
piled Wilton despondently. ITO por-
tray natural emotions authors must
experience them. II seems to me the
most popular writer's Of the present
day imagine things. then turn a lurid
light on them and photograph the
whole. I have written one work every
word Of which felt, for am in love
with my heroine-not imaginatively,
but really. would like to see it pub
lished."
''You never will, because there would
be no money In it for a publisher.
Still, IL you care to let me have it I'll
turn it In at Sharp, Bliss s. Co.'s and
praise It all 1 can. But it won't do
any good"
The next day Hogden, who really
had a good opinion Of his friends abil-
tiles, received the manuscript and
tossed it into a drawer. intending to
read 1t before submitting 1t to the pub
fishers. 1t lay in that drawer FIVE
years. Meanwhile Wilton, who with
out any income could not marry his
heroine, dr.fted away to unknown
lands. Then a report came that he
was dead.
One day Hogden came across the
manuscript his friend had left with
him FIVE years before. Hogden was
writing stories in the current vein.
from which by writing a great many
OF them he made a passable living
He read the manuscript and saw a
great deal In It. Since there was no
living owner he concluded to appropri-
ate 1t to himself. He used the motif
and the feeling, cut out the ideality,
threw a lot Of Greek fire into 1t and
published II under his own name as a
novel Of the period.
The book proved a phenomenal sue
cess. Hogden made lot of money out
Of It and, having established his liter
airy name, wrote other books with all
the Greek fire, but with none of the
feeling of the one he had appropri-
ated. They were oven more successful
than his starter. Having accumulated
competency, It occurred to him TO
marry and make a home for himself.
Now, It happened that Wilton had
introduced him 10 the heroine of his
novel and the lady of his love. Hog
den went to see her. talked a great
deal about his old friend Wilton, his
impracticability, his incompetency and
his ideality, all Of which he classed in
the same category. He told her what
he had done with Whiton's work and
ended by saying:
"All this money I have made has
been coined out OF Whiton's emotions.
of which you were the exciting cause.
l think you are entitled to a share in
the proceeds. You can have half and
all at my death If you survive me by
marrying me-"
The lady was Of practical turn Of
mind, without fortune and withal get
ting older every day. She accepted
the offer. They were married and set
tied down into the humdrum Of life.
