STRONG PLEA FAVORING
DELAWARE CANAL ROUTE
CONGRESSMAN MOORE FIRES
OPENING SHOT IN CONGRESS
Sets Forth its Advantages in an Able
Debate For Federal Ownership
in the House, Last Wednesday


in the House, Last Wednesday
Representative ]. Hampton Moore,
of Philadelphia, president of the
Atlantic Deeper Waterways As.
sociation, Wednesday in the Lower
House of Congress fired the opening
gun in a campaign to obtain action
by the federal government on the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal, in
which project the government is
stockholder. The Philadelphia mem
Der introduced resolution calling
upon the secretary of the treasury
for information as to the financial
interest Of the United States in the
canal and as to the proceedings
which may be instituted to protect
the rights of the United States with
respect to the canal. In explana-
tion of this resolution, Mr.. Moore
said: 1.-The government is a stock.
holder in the Delaware and Chesa-
peake canal, and to that extent is
responsible for the delay in opening
up this important waterway to the
free use of the public. In its pre-
sent condition the canal is simply
a picturesque antique. 1t is a
positive hindranee to modern pro-
gress, snce the tolls charged upon
it are virtually prohibitive. One
steamship company, whose boats
ply between Baltimore and ohila-
delphia, uses the canal, but it has
to build It's ships to accommodate
the narrow locks and the shallow
depth of the canal.
"For some reason or other, we
have been halted in every effort to
have the canal taken over by the
gvernment or to have a new canal
paralleling it constructed. 1t is
unquestiOnably the most available
link in the Atlantic deeper water
way coastal project, and we intend
that congress and the people who
are forever voting money into the
Mississippi valley TO restore levees |
shall know about it.
"We had hoped that the rivers
and harbor committee would enable
US to go forward with the work this
year. but have been disappointed,
and my resolution is preliminary to
further steps that will be taken
with a view of relieving commerce
which would like to use the canals,
but is unable to do so. The exist.
ing canal is but little over thirteen
miles long, but it connects up |
the Cheapeake and Delaware bays |
and saves a sailing distance from
Philadelphia to Baltimore round |
Cape Charles of 325 niles. In the
region Of the canal there is more
commercial traffic in one year than
will pass through the Panama canal |
in ten years.
1.-The Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association which holds it's
fifth annual convention at New
London, Conn.,, during the first
week of September, is behind this
movement and will give it cordial
support"

RHEUMATISM

This nerve-racking disease is caused from
impure blood and uric acid poison. External
applications sometimes give temporary re-
lief but won't cure; the sure way to secure
permanentresults is to thoroughly eradicate
from the blood all the impurities. Nothing
on earth will drive out the poisons from
your system, keep the bowels, kidneys and
liver in good condition as SEVEN BARKS, the
wonderful remedy that has proved its great
merits the past AZ years.
SEVEN BARKS can be had of all druggists,
at 90 cents per bottle. Give it good trial
and watch your rheumatism disappear.

THE MINISTRY DOING ITS PART

Step by step our civilization is marching to higher and better,
nobler and grander things. There art many incidents which cause
the mind, oftentmes, to wonder whether, instead of growing better,
the world is not growing worse; yet these happenings only serve to
bring out more resplendantly the light and the beauty of the hun
dreds of benehcent deeds and Christlike endeavors of the world at
large. The greatest factor in this progress and heaven-born better
ment is the church and the christian ministry. The ministry is made
up of men. and they have their weaknesses and foibles Just as do
the rest of mankind, yet with but the rarest exceptions they have
consecrated themselves to the spread of the gospel of Christ and to
the furtherance of the teachings of the 'lowly Nazarene. While the
balance of us are thinking about the price of cotton, the value of
bank stock and business affairs lin general, the minister is reading
his Bible and meditating as to what he can do to further the cause
OF his church, and to quicken the zeal and religious energy of his
congregation. Hence his weekly discusses serve to draw the minds
of his hearers from temporal things and to plant them on the things
OF God. Yes, the ministry is dong its part in developing and keep
ing alive that which is best in man. Would that every other calling
was doing its religious duty as fully as the ministry.
The chief support of the ministry and the working life of the
churches is a noble womanhood. They never lag in religious fer
vor and are ever ready for active church work. We repeat, the
world is growing better. The occasional discovery of the degreda-
ton of an individual, heretofore thought to be above reproach. is
proof of the fact of a wholesome sentiment whose olfactory nerves
readily discern the noxious and the poluting in the community. A
dead carcass on the roadside, where the vultures congregate, will
attract more attention than a hundred humming birds around the
most fragrant flowers.
We have but to lit our eyes and look for the bright spots and
the purity on the canvas of life and we will see them. |

Roosevelts triumph in every state. except Massachusetts,, where
ne lost by only a narrow margin, would seem enough warning to the
republican party to prevent Tafts denomination. What will be the
outcome OF the Chicago convention, of course, is only a piece of
guess work. While the Taft forces may have the machinery and
may control the temporary organization of the convention, We. it
seems the Teddy wave will sweep them down. The democrats have
out to sit still and watch the fight and in the end they will win. We
had much rather undertake to whip Taft than Roosevelt. The tariff
bill and the tariff commission killed Taft.

In studying history and looking back over the presidential cam

years there is a "crisis' in the history of our Republic, and this cam

gardless of what candidate or party tiumphs, the government will
SUN 1--we. We fear it will be a long while before those who are
growing rich through the tariff and other species of governmental
