tative William II. Head, OF Delaware,
introduced in the House a bill directing
the purchase by the government OF the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The

chase Of the canal and $1,000 for its
maintenance temporarily until the gov
ernment's engineers complete their
plans for deepening and widening it
and work is begun on the improve
ment.
Mr.. Heslds bin is the bill which the
Committee on Railways and Canals
prepared last year as the result of the
report of the commission of which
Gen. Felix Agnus was chairman. That
commission. after a thorough study Of
the entire subject, submitted a report
/ in which IL appraised the value Of the
canal and its franchises at s2.514.2S9.70
and estimated that to improve the
canal in both depth and width so as
to adopt il to the traffic that would
use it would cost approximately s20,-
600, 600
Mr.. Heald's bin will be referred to
the new committee on railways and
canals when Speaker Cannon appoints
the committees at the opening of the
regular session Of the Congress next
December. AS the committee will con
' sist Of all those members who were
members last year and have been re-
elected to this Congress- and as the
bin is the same measure as the one
favored by the committee last year II
is certain that Mr. Heald's bill will be
speedily acted upon by the COMMITTEES
and a favorable report urging the pas
sage of the bill win be made earl,
next winter IN ample time for it, pas
sage at the first session.

which contained any element OF
menace to the peace Of the world. This
was the plank in the Bryanite platform
which demanded immediate exclusion
by law Of all Asiatic laborers. and
therefore OF the Japanese. Coupled
with this was the utterly meaningless
plank about the navy. which was how
ever. intended to convey the impress
sion that we ought to have a navy
only for the defense OF our coasts. that
is, a merely defensive" navy. or that
in other words. "a quite worthless
navy"
ANY man of common sense there
fore ought to preserve the self-evident
fact that the only menace TO peace
which was contained in any possible
action of the American republic was
that contained in tho election Of Mr..
Bryan and the attempt TO put into IL
feet his platform.
His Real Influence Not Just.
Count Tolstoi is man of genius. a
great novelist, but / have no question
that whatever influence Tolstoi has
exerted among men. of action has told,
on the whole, for evil. / do not think
his influence over men of action has
been great, for I think he has swayed
or dominated only the feeble and the
fantastic folk. Strong men may gain
something from Tolstors moral teach
ings. but only on condition that they
are strong enough, and sane enough
to be repelled by those parts OF his
teachings which are foolish or i'm
moral Weak persons are hurt Dy

GOOD WORDS FOR A
WILMINGTON MAN

Referring TO President Of Council
William q. Taylor. who is a candidate
for mayor at the Republican primary
tomorrow. The Journal Of Commerce, a
Philadelphia periodical. has the follow
ing to say;
More than ordinary interest is be-
ing taken in the business and finan-
cial circles Of Wilmington, Delaware.
in the coming mayorality election. be-
cause Of the prominence in the busi-
ness life Of the city, Of the leading Re
publican candidate, William G. Taylor.
whose nomination, which is equivalent
to an election, seems assured.
Although comparatively a young
man, being still on the right side Of
forty, Mr.. Taylor is one of the best
known, most progressive and popular
citizens of the Delaware metropolis.
He is assistant secretary and treas
urer of the Equitable Trust Company,
one of the leading and strongest finan-
cial institutions OF the city, in which
position he has won anenviable repu-
tation. He has ben president of City
Council for two years. and is recog-
nized as a man of exceptional ability
and of the highest character and in
tegrity. He is also progressive and
thoroughly up o-date. and II he be-
comes mayor of Wilmington. which
now seems certain. he will doubtless
give the city one of the best and most
business-like administrations It has
ever enjoyed.
Aside from his prominence in the
business life Of the city. Mr.. Taylor is
also a leader socially, and is univeFs,
ally popular He has long been one
of the most active and best liked
members of the Young Mems Republi-
can Club. Of Wilmington, and has had
much to do with the growth and
progress Of that organization. He has
the hearty support Of the leading bus
mess men Of the city. and the best in
formed men in Wilmington express
the opinion that Mr.. Taylor's oppon-
ents have little or no chance Of de-
feating him."

Two Plain MisS0urianS.

DeArmond.
There Is not a tains or a spot in

either Clark or DeArmond. They
