Supreme Epoch in History of
Mankind.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the University of California, has the
following to say in favor of San Fran
cisco's claim for the exposition in 1915
''The opening of the Panama Canal
marks supreme epoch in the history
of mankind. The celebration of that
event, if there is to be one, must pay
heed to the historical meaning of what
is being celebrated. Otherwise it will
all be perversion, a violence, and a
vanity. The canal means, first OF all,
that our land joins the two oceans and
looks out Janus-faced towards it's rights
and its risks on both. For the excer-
else of its rights and the facing of its
perils it must unite the waters of the
two oceans. 1t is one nation and it's
two oceans must become one highway.
Our existence hitherto has been shapen
by our position on the Atlantic facing
Europe; it is likely that the coming
years in increasing measure will take
their form and color from our position
on the Pacific facing Asia. The open
ing of the canal yields its significance
in terms of our nations new outlook
through the Golden Gate upon the
Western Ocean, and it is only at the
Golden Gate that the event can tell its
meaning to the world.
''And there is a second consideration
When Columbus started across the seas
he was seeking, not America, but the
old Orient ofzIndia and China and theil
gold and spices. Men had always de-
sired the east and the gold and the
pepper. There was nothing new abou
the object of search. All that was new
was the direction. Columbus wen
west. Judged in terms of its origina
purpose his voyage was a total failure
He sailed for Asia. but ran upon tn
long broad dyke of land we now cal
the Americas. 1t has cost more thai
four centuries for him and those tina
swarmed after him to traverse an
conquer the hipdering dyke which aros
In his path and forbade him Asia. TIL
opening of the canal is the frst-cuttin
of this dyke-the avenging of Colum
bus-the end of the four-century halt
the resumption of the advance towar
the Orient. 1t would be a pity and
shame to celebrate this event from be
hind the bunker. We have been Their
four hundred years. Let us out nov
into the open air of the Pacific.

LETTER RAILWAY FACILITIES.

TT IIE residents of Washington Heights who
4 have asked for better street railway facl-
ties are awaiting anxiousy the result of the
efforts of the committee. So far the answer
made by the street railway authorities has not
been satisfactory but that fact has not caused
the committee to relax its efforts. AS was
proper at the time, the appeal Of the committee
was made direct to Superintendent Hoff of the
-f6cal company and if it were in his power to
do so, we have no doubt that the request Of the
committee would be promptly granted by the
superintendent And perhaps, he knows better
than any one else what is actually needed and
would agree with the committee i'll most of its
contentious. Certainly SO large and growing a
part of the city as the region beyond Washing
ton street bridge should be entitled to improve
cd facilities.
The street railway company is, however, own
cd bv outside capitalists, Mr.. Rigg being the
president of the company. Therefore it seems
that Mr. Rigg will finally be called upon TO pass
upon the matter and the committee may deem
it necessary to present its case to Mr. Rgg In
fact this is what we think should be DONE for
it would be a good thing for Mr.. Rgg and for
the gentlemen composing the committee and
other citizens If the latter came often
in contact with the head of public service utl-
ity which is so vitality bound up with the welfare
of the city.

agitation for improved street railway facilities
and the people there are going to have them
the result of little well directed agitation In
Reading to read the newspapers of that city
one would imagine that there is always more or
less conflict between the citizens and Mr.
Rgg.
We cannot think that Mr. Rgg would believe
that Wilmington is making excessive demands
in its desire for improved railway service. Dur
ing the trouble at Chester Wilmington was very
quiet. and the efforts to kick up a disturbance
in this city failed Mr.. Rgg, we think, there
fore, is under some obligations to Whining
ton.
As we understand the matter the request of
the residents Of Washington Heights could be
granted without entailing very great expense on
the company. But at any rate, Judging by the
men who are the head of the movement, they
will in a not distant day get what they are ask
ing for The meeting Of these residents was an
impressive sight-one cannot but believe that
they mean business

coMMENDABLE WORK.

XAT have referred from time to time to the
Wv excellent work being done by the Young
Mems Christian Association in what is called
supplemental education, and it is we'll to note
that this IS not the only body engaged in that
kind of laudable effort
The current issue of the Delmarvia Catholic
calls attention to the college extension courses
now being conducted at the Ursuline Academy.
Last June this community of nuns transferred
its allegiance from the Archbishop of New
York to the Bishop Of Wilmington and the com
munity now forms an independent house
The special work Of the community is in the
educational field, the instruction and education of
young girls, but in accordance with one of their
objects the nuns have organized in connection
with their academy a college extension course
In this course teachers are instructed, students
are enabled to take high school course or en-
abled to make up deficiencies in their college
entrance requirements. Another purpose of the
college extension course is to form social and
intellectual center where people from different
parts of the country may meet for the exchange
of views.
lectures are given at regular intervals by
noted speakers and many topics of a literary and
classical nature are covered. Altogether this
college extension course furnishes adults with
rare opportunity to improve themselves in Gull
ture and is but one more example of the increas-
ed facilities now offered to those who may have
neglected their early education or who wish to
keep themselves constantly in touch with the
Tipest scholarship.

on Woman,s Riahts.

London Truth.
Last year Sir Melvill Beachcroft. chair
man OF the London County Council, made
speech at tho Lyceum Club on what
women could do in that body. He began
by saying. II take it you all know what
your rights and what your privileges are
in that connection" He was quite mis-
taken. In any 200 women there is certain
to be proportion utterly ignorant, not
only of their rights and privileges, but Of
their duties. Even in the specialized audi
ence addressed by Sir Melvill this was the
case. How many women living in London
know that they can vote for the twenty
eight borough councils and thirty-one
boards Of guardians Of the London County
Council. that they can also be elected
themselves for these, be members Of the
Central Unemployed Body or OF the twen-
ty-nine Distress Committees, and also be
co-operated to all bodies like the local
Pension Committees? Women can be AL
dermen Of the Council, and there is moth
ing to prevent any one Of them from hold
ing the office OF chairman itself. These
are the offices they can hold, but very
few of them do.

The shaving Of Coneress

nc SHAVING OF congress-,
New York Evening Sun.
Amid the manifold problems confronting
our Senators at Washington, Il is a plea
sure to pass with them a sooiable and in
nocuous session devoted to the question
Of BARRIERS. Not that the whole broad ton
sorial problem was under debate II was
20 the rather narrow issue of Sunday OBJ
servance In the District OF Columbia, as
applied 70 the barber shops, that the
learned statesmen of the upper chamber
devoted their abilities.
OF course. the subtle moral and aesthetic
considerations involved appealed keenly
to the mind and heart OF Senator Bailey.
He was on his feet early and often in the
debate. AS win be recalled, the Senator
was once an iconoelast in matters sartor-
ial. and for a while stubbornly resisted
the opportunities of fashion. But in view
OF his subsequent purchase OF conven-
tional evening attire, no one viii be sur
prised to hear these advanced views fall
ing from his lips:
II a gentleman who travels a thousand
miles. and is accustomed to shave prob
ably every day reaches the city of WASH
ington fatigued from long travel with a
three days growth of beard, he would in
fnitey rather have the hair shaved Off his
face than the mud brushed off his boots,
and he is betterr entitled to it in my opin-
ion.
An eloquent and appealing picture! And
how many interesting problems are sug-
gested by the Illuminating passagel For
example, the whole vast subject of daily
shaving as opposed to weekly or biennial
shaving IS presented III that one word
probably" But having not the space to
treat at length all the forthgivings of
Senator Bailey in the course OF this his
toric afternoon, we confne ourselves re-
gretfully TO a brief criticism of the typical
passage set forth above.
As viii be perceived, the exact issue
raised was whether bootblacks should
properly be exempted from the opera
ton of the Sunday observance bill while
BARRIERS were bound down by It's restric-
tions. Let the eye picture the scene por-
trayed by tho Senator's Texan states
man staggering from the train after his
fatiguing journey and weeping bitterly
over a barberless Washington. It Is in
deed harassing spectacle. But we medi-
tate this one doubt: Would a Texan Sena-
tor arriving in the capital choose to have
his three days beard shaven om-or would

PEACHES IN DELAWARE.

XAT + wish we could share in the optimistic
w views expressed by Mr.. Dawson, of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society, and the news
paper brethren as to the growing of peaches in
Delaware. There seems to be a belief that with
proper effort the peach would regain the place
it once occupied as queen of the Delaware fruit
crops where it made the name of the State fa-
nous throughout the fruit loving world.
Mr. Dawson says that soil has been inn
proved, the climate remains the same, and by
using up-to-date methods we can grow as we
have done the best peaches in the world" No
doubt Delaware has grown the best peaches in
the world for we have produced in this State
better Elbertas than they could grow in Georgia,
the home of the Elbertas, and our Georgia
Bellies we think have surpassed those grown in
the Southern State The finest Crawfords iii the
old days were grown not in New Jersey, sup
posed to be the home of the Crawfords, but in
Delaware, while, perhaps, there has never
been for flavor a finer yellow peach than
that originated by Clement Reeves, Of this
county And in white peaches many growers
considered that no white fruit surpassed the
Moore's Favorite a famous peach originated by
Mr.. Moore who lived just outside of Odessa
All fruit men would wish a return of the days
of heavy peach crops in New Castle county as
we'll as in the lower counties, because such yields
owing to the improved methods of distribution
in the present day, would be more profitable than
they were even in the old days
Some farmers in this county, especially i'll the
lower part of the county, have tried to revive
peach growing, Here and there, apparently by
chance, farmer has been able to have a fine
orchard but such are scarce and not likely to en-
courage other farmers to take up again peach
culture
In the old days land along the river and bay
was regarded as the best for peaches The or
chards protected by the river would often yield
fine crop of peaches when other orchards failed.
On some Of these farms in Blaclbird hundred
orchards have been planted after the ground had
been bare OF peaches for, say fifteen or twenty
years with the hope that the strong land, the
recuperatcd soil, would again produce the fruit,
but the young orchards, with proper atten-
ton became withered and stunted, and practically
faded away. Other orchards would bear shyly
for a year or so and then fall prey to one of
the many diseases that afhct peach trees. 9th
er orchards have been cultivated according to
improved methods and with great expense, but
with disappointing results. The high price OF
grain also causes farmers to hesitate about ex-
permenting again with peach culture. If Mr..
Dawson or any other person could bring about
a revival Of peach growing that would make the
cultivation of that fruit again a profitable crop,
he would find plenty of men willing to acclaim
him as a benefactor.
