Canal Project Fails.

The proposal for a thirty-foot canal
between Washington and Baltimore has
been unfavorably acted upon by the Ma
tional Waterways Commission. That
body is not impressed with the utility
of such a canal, though the advocacy
Of the proposition was strong in this
city and Baltimore. The commission
bases its unfavorable report solely upon
the cost of its construction, which is
thought to be out of all proportion to
its value when completed
Two motives actuated the projectors
OF the intercity waterway. One was
to facilitate the cheap transportation of
coal and other heavy freightage be-
tween the two cities, and the other was
the sentimental consideration that il was
the intention of Washington and others
who originally advocated the construc-
ton OF the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
to extend II to Baltimore. Both these
motives we're sincere and praisewortfly.
furthermore, If might be said that the
carr, when built and in operation, would
probably increase in utility and demon
strate its usefulness. Yet, on the sur
face of things, the National Water
ways Commission probably views the
situation correctly, that until there is
greater demand than now exists for
transportation between the two cities of
the class Of freight referred to it would
be unwise for the government to under
take so costly an enterprise.
Something might be said to the effect
that transportation facilities should al
ways slightly preeede the absolute need
for them in the proper development Of

Mark Smith. the new Senator-desig-

messages OF eXuberant congratulation by
his Washington friends, but he is prom

use picture of the Hon. Marcus with

The Water System.

While the suggestion contained in
the report of the District Commission
ers on one of the House bills is not
new, it is undoubtedly in the interests
of better administration of the water
service. The bill in question contem-
plates the transfer of the Washington
aqueduct, the filtration plant, and other
accessories of the supply system from
the Federal to the municipal govern
ment
AS matters stand, the Federal govern
ment owns and controls the water sup
ply system from the dam and intake
at Great Falls down to the filtration
plant The distributing system is owned
and controlled by the District govern
ment The result of this double owner
ship of the service is duplication OF
service in some particulars, and conse-
quently added cost.
The Commissioners point out in their
report on the bill that while the Federal
government formerly laid some of the
street mains which carried water to
the public buildings, those mains are
now under the jurisdiction of the NUM-
eipality. and that repairs upon them and
their maintenance adds materially to the
cost of service.

Joy in Steel Trade.

Much satisfaction is felt in manufac-
turing and commercial circles over the
steel outlook. For nearly a month
large miscellaneous orders for struc-
tural material have poured in upon the
manufacturers in way to make them
peculiarly glad after a dull summer.
Ninety steel tank cars, sixty-fve steel
express and baggage cars, 200 box cars,
500 center sills, and 1900 tons of steel
to REINFORCE old cars was an order
sent into the American Car and Foundry
Company in single day this week.

which manufactures a goodly portion
of the steel shapes used in the frame
work of large buildings, also reports
large orders, particularly out of the
Middle West, while from all the princi-
pal cities of the East come calls for
estimates upon new large buildings.
These orders are known to the trade
as Special" being out of the regular
season for such material, and also out
side of the big contracts with railroads
and other corporations which place
their calls for steel just after the be-
ginning of the year 1t is already known
that many of these next month will be
larger than year ago. Contracts for
steel rails now under negotiation aggre-
gate 10000 tons, and it is estimated
that the prospective rail contracts which
will be released next month will be
upward of 10000 tons.
1t is sometimes said that the call for
structural iron and steel is the barome-
ter of business. At all events. when
the building trades and the railroads
are calling for large amounts of steel
it is usually the beginning of activity
in all lines of business. Knowing this,
shrewd business men everywhere will
sit down to Christmas dinner with more
cheer in their hearts than they had last
year, or TWO years ago, for then the
books of the steel and car companies
carried no such evidence of commercial
revival.

Christmas.

Before the Babe wrapped in swad'
ding clothes and lying in Manager the
world to-day bows down in love and
admiration. Once again, like the wise
men of old, we follow the star in the
East; once again, with the shepherds
abiding in the field, we listen to the
tidings of great joy.
Nearly 1000 years have passed since
the greatest event in the worlds his
tory occurred in the little town of Beth
lehem Much has been written of the
birth of Christ, and yet the simple
poetic narratives of Matthew and OF
Luke remain to-day unexcelled by any
master of the written language. Upor
this joyous day we turn. with reverent
and thankful hearts, to the pages where
the story of Mary and the infant Jesu:
is recorded with appealing simplicity
Beside this recital, penned by intimate
and loving historians. all else seem:
tawdry and affected We feel its in
nate truth. To amplify or change the
beautiful and satisfying record is sac
rilege indeed
The spirit of Christianity which was
born unto the world with the Babe in
the manger has spread until now il
encircles the earth like the waters OF
the seven seas. 1t is the spirit which
in the world to-day, breathes charity
and brotherly love- 1t touches the HUI
man heart with tenderness and quick
ems each pulse with sympathetic emo
ton. 1t is the spirit which makes the
difference between civilization and saw
agery, between the animal and the man
Without it the world would be agair
barbaric. 1t has taught us to love our
brother as ourselves, to heal the sick
to feed the hungry, to forgive those
who have sinned against lis, TO live
in the hope of Immortality beyond the
grave.
And SO, amid the exultant anthems
which we sing and the joyous exclama-
tons which greet this Christmas morn
we hear the deeper note that emphasizes
the vital significance of the day. Let IL:
be thankful, therefore, that the Christ
mas spirit envelops the world Let us
as we remember the Christ Child ir
the manger, seek to make the human
race happier and better by eliminating
each harsh and sordid thing from every
day life. II we do this, we give effect
and value to the virtues taught by Him
whose birth we celebrate to-day.
"And He went about doing good.
This is the real spirit of Christmas
This is the lesson which, taken into
our hearts in these Yuletide times
should not he forgotten when the
swelling anthems have died away and
the holly and the pine have withered
and been cast aside.

Washington's Christmas Trade.

1t is pleasant to know that the
Washington merchants report a rec
ord-breaking Christmas trade.
The Washington Herald has repeat
eddy insisted that Washington is most
fortunate among cities in that it is
least affected by business conditions
which may prevail elsewhere. AS the
seat of government, its progress is GER
tain. The great mass of its people are
assured of their livelihood and they
spend their money here.
Considerable trade has come to the
city during the Christmas season from
nearby towns, thus indicating that
Washington's value as a shopping GEN.
ter is fully appreciated. We congratu-
late the Washington merchants upon
their success in meeting all the de
mands of the Christmas shoppers.
