pENRosE ACTS FOR CANAL PURCHASE.

II nEI.AWARlsANS, practically all Of whom favor tho
- inland waterway from Boston to Beaufort Inlet,
n. c., were pleased yesterday by the that came
from Washington that Senator Ponrosc, of Pennsy
Vania had taken further steps looking TO the pur-
chase by the Federal Government OF tho Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal. The House failed TO make pro-
vision that purchase in the River and Harbor Ap-
preparation bill failure recognize the import
ance that purchase its relation to the great i'm
land waterway plan was the cause of much regret
among those interested in that far-rcaching pro-
feet Senator Penrose now has proposed an amend
mcnt to the House River and Harbor bill. Il directs
the Secretary War negotiate for and 10 buy
the canal, subject Congressional appropriation Il
also directs the Secretary to report tho deal
90 this session of Congress
Such am inland waterway would mean much to our
city. To obtain its benefits. however it would be
cessary to establish suitable docking facilities tho
Delaware river front Every craft northbound south
bound, would pass within few hundred yards Of such
piers Many unquestionably would stop there to take
on discharge cargo
Tho route Of the inland waterway from Boston to
Beaufort Inlet would be by Cape Cod Canal Long Is
land Sound East River, Upper Bay. Delaware and
Raritan Canal Delaware River. Chesapeake and Della
Canal Chesapeake Bay Abemarle Canal Albemarle
Sound and Pimlco Sound. The route would be ap-
proxmately 1000 miles long. It VIII be seen
at that in such plan that a canal across the
Delaware Maryland Peninsula absolutely necessary
Such a waterway would be Of great commercial inn
portance in time Of peace and It also would OF
strategic importance the movement naval
vessels from part another OF the Atlantic sea-
board. Certainly Wilmington should take steps now
looking to harbor development to obtain fair share
the benefits of the traffic moving through that waterway
The only TO get it is to build piers establish
terminal the Delaware River.

stated to the people officially.
Prejudice, ignorance and maliciOusly
distorted facts make it imperative for a
special session. BY no other method can
the matter be cleared up and presented
to the public in its true light. The
actual provisions of the charter have
been so msconstrued by harping critics
that the whole idea is misunderstood. \
discussion in the halls of Legislature is
the only way to call the hand of these
rabid critics
Honest objections to some of the pro-
visions of the charter there may be,
but there is sanity enough among the
members of the Legislature to decide
this question to the best interests OF the
whole State irrespective OF party.
And woe to the man who takes his
cue from such petty critics as the Morn
ing News.
No one welcomed the change OF owner
ship and management of the Morning
News more than did The Post. Under the
old supervision it lacked news becom-
ing a city daily and its editorials read
in most part, like patent plate matter.

When the transfer was made, there

Since that time we have read its edi-
torials with the keenest interest and
noted the improvements made in the
news columns
Last week in bold headlines, an an,

MORE BOULEVARD MISREPRESENTATION.

THERE seems to be no depth to which the political
opponents of the dupont Boulevard will not
descend in their efforts and sustain public
prejudice against that large and benefcent enterprise
They now are circulating among landowners in all
the sections to be traversed by the boulevard story
relative to the affect of the proposed the
Boulevard Corporations Law permitting OF the assess
ment of benefits That story is that II commission de-
eide that by the taking OF land for boulevard purposes
the owner will be damaged say $500, but that, owing
the opening of the boulevard. his property will be
benefited $1,000, he only give his land free,
but also pay $500 in cash make up the differ
ence between the damages aud the benefits
Such story is absurd. Those who circulating II
fully OF the fact. The truth is that if the
commissioners should decide that the dement's conferred
upon property by the opening Of the boulevard
thousand times the damage, the property-owner
merely would give his land and the benefits would be
his without the payment by him OF cent for them
That would hold good II the damage from taking tho
land $1,000 and the benefit from the opening OF
the boulevard were $l5o,0OO. In other words, under
the proposed amendment the most that could be de-
mandcd OF any property would be that he give
