agree with the engineers in regard 10
this project here. Each IS Singing
condemnation Of it.
Now, instead of hailing the additional
appropriation of $4,000 as evidence OF
the fidelity and capacity of Rhode Isl
ands representatives at Washington,
who are getting what they can Tor
that ambitious commonwealth, The
Providence Journal coldly waves away
the supposed triumph of craftsmanship
as inconsequential 1t says:
We are supposed to be acclaiming our
representatives in Congress for their
aIertness i'll obtaining fraction OF the
fifty-two millions for Block Island. We
are pictured as grateful for their eXer-
tons in inducing Congress to ignore GER
tain circumstances which put the appro-
priation in Jeopardy. These circum-
stances are briefly, that the report of
every qualified authority condemns the
Great Salt Pond project as useless: that
the federal and state governments nave
already wasted too much money on IT,,
and that the whole procedure has been
political job from the beginning.
Such an attitude must be a shock to
those to whom the old flag looks best
when it's folds invitingly uncover an
appropriation. 1t may scandafize the
parochial school of patriots. but it will
encourage those who hope to see the
spirit of localism in Congress moderated
by a growing spirit of nationalism.
River and harbor bills have too long
represented give-and-take bargains made
in the interest of sections and localities
and TO the neglect of the larger welfare
of the nation. 1t is a welcome sign
when a constituency supposed to be
benefited by such tactics fails TO rise
up and call its appropriation hunters
blessed.

THE COST OF BATH ESHTps.

THE COST OF BATTLESHIPS
When Nj. Mchenn6. First Lord Of the
British Admiralty, was questioned in the
House Of Commons the other night re
garding the statement that battleships
are built az lower cost i'll the United
States than in England. he made dis
Greet reply. Without detailed informa
ton about the size and equipment of
American vessels, he said, it was impos
sible for him to make comparison with
British ships. Though he is not reported
to have done SO. however. he might have
dwelt on a notable reduction now being
effected in the cost of accessions TO King
EDWARDS navy.
According 10 figures recently designat-
ell Official by THE London Telegraph"
the government paid So,0G5, 600 for the
construction of its first see fighter with
q main battery consisting Of guns Of one
calibrn- The bills for the Vanguard. d
preadnought which was finished last
year. amounted TO Ss.160,0OO. Here was
a saving of about 100000. An even more
striking difference exists between the
cost Of the first OF the "battleship cruis-
ers. the InvlncibIe, and that Of the
fourth, the Indefatigable. For the for
mer the government paid, in round num-
bers. SS.S45, coo. and for the latter only
S7.740,H0o.
Gratifyip. as these facts must be to the
British taxpayer. their significance will
not fully appear without another COM
parison- One of the latest battleships of
the type in favor five years ago is the
Lord Nelson. That vessel carried only
four Pinch breech leaders, the same
number as the Connecticut The Dread
noughts mount ten each. ard the cruisers
Of the Inyincible class each carry eight.
The DreddnoughtS develop a speed three
o. four knots greater than the Lord Mel
son, and the cruisers just mentioned are
from eight to ten knots faster than the
Lord Nelson. Yet the Vanguard cost
about $4,000 less and the Indefatigable
fully 100000 less than the Lord Nelson.
Both Of the new types Of fighting ship
are superior in two respects to the best
the world was acquainted with prior to
the RusSo-Japanese War. They can ma
nPuvre better and at long range can de-
liver more destructive fire For these
advantages almost any naval power
would gladly incur an increased expense
To be able. through competition and from
other causes. TO obtain them at as low
q cost is their Immediate predecessors is
q remarkable achievement

exempted them from taxation, was spe-
officially exempted and so was income
derived as salary by state officer. But
the Senate defeated amendments offered
by SenaI = Hill exempting income de
rived from state. county and municipal
securities. Income, from these sources
came under the designation from any
other source whatever The Supreme
Court could not but hold that Congress
had attempted TO tax income from state
securities, because the votes in the Sell
ate proved that beyond the possibility
of dispute II denied the right of the
legislative branch, under cover of the
phrase from any other source what
ever" to tax state bonds. because the
court had already laid down the general
principle that the instrunentalitfes Of
the states should not be taxed for the
benefit Of the federal Treasury.
But if practically the same phrase
from whatever source derived which
was construed by the court as an at
tempt TO tax state bonds-is put into a
Constitutional amendment charging the
power of the government to tax incomes,
how is the court TO escape the conclusion
that the amendment was intended to
nullify and does nullify the limitation
hitherto set up by grace Of deduction
and Interpretation? Certainly the Ian
qua ge of the amendment is plain, and the
meaning of the Constitution must be read
in its light. instead of its being read in
the light Of the unaltered Constitution.
So far as Senator Roots argument is
concerned, Mr.. Morrow puts the case
aptly when he says:
Senator Root surely does not argue. as
some others have done. that no words
could give the Sixteenth Amendment
the meaning that state securities were
thereafter to be taxed. Of course, if the
sovereign people expressly said that in
coma from state securities was to be
hereafter taxed. without 4ppoTtionment,
that would be the end Of the matter. SO
far as that might be inconsistent with
our dual form of government, such
form Of government would be altered
The inclusion in the amendment of the
very phrase which covered state securi-
ties in the Wilson German law seems To
be evidence enough Of the purpose of the
pending amendment TO make such Securi-
ties taxable, whatever may be the effect
Of that extension of federal power on
previous interpretations OF the Constitu-
ton holding them TO be free from tax.

"Nemours," on the Concord Turn
pike, just out of the city, the beauti-
full new home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred

finest house in Delaware, and he has
been warmly congratulated in conse-
quence of this decision.
The house is of the purest French
architecture and waa designed by
Messrs Carrere and Hastings, arch
fleets of New York City, who have
planend many of the handsOmest resi-
dences i'm the country. These archi-
tects visited Wilmington frequently
during the course of construction OF
the building and gave the work their
personal supervision.
The interior decorations accomplish
ed under Mrs. duPOnts direction are
beautiful and have been greatly adt
mired. Everything possible has been
done for the comfort OF the guests as
well as the owners, the guest suites
being charmingly arranged to the mi
nutest detail.
Mr.. DUPONT had had a large force OF
men working o the estate for the
past two years and his goodness has
been greatly felt and much appreci-
ated I'm the community. Wherever II
WAS possible he has given preference
to home labor and home material

rrLLs one on RoosEYELr.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia great
admirer of Colonel Roosevelt appeared
to-day in the person of Forbes-Robert-
son, the English actor. who praised
the Colonel's Guild-hall speech and
other utterances abroad. but laugh
ingly told the following story TO a
party OF friends:
AT the time of the Kings death,
went back to England on the same
ship with Miss Ethel Roosevelt and
found her a most charming young
lady. Several ladies who spent con-
siderable time with her declared that
one day she sat in apparent detection.
Whom asked what was the matter, she
said I'm greatly worried about
father When pressed for an eX-
PLANTATION she declared: Well every
time father goes to wedding he is
angry because he is not the best man
and now I suppose he will be mad at
the funeral because he Is not the
corpse
Forbes-Robertson said many compli-
mentary things about Roosevelt and
declared that his speeches in Eng
land, while they did not please the
government, made the people think.
