says after they lose one. His Opti-
mism is there to stay. II can't be
downed or ever dampened. Tommy
Long believes in success Therefore
he succeeds. If Dave Robertson
doesn't look out, Tommy will believe
in success so strong that he will grab
off the batting lead of the league and
be back on the Washington team
next spring.
Tommy believes that this is his
year. His good ones run in streaks.
He had a great year over in the
Southeastern two years ago. Then
he wasn't so good last year with
Mobile. This year he is back stronger
than ever.
TOMMY LONG has been playing
ball as long as he can remember
and has been a regular player on a
regular team for years. The fact is,
Tommy has been playing ball for
somebody or other for eight years
and he isn't but % years old now.
Tommy started his schooling ana
his baseball at the same place-Jack-
son, Ala, at the First District Agrl-
cultural School He didn't go to an
agricultural school with any particu-
lar idea of being a farmer, you under
stand. II just happened that he lived
at Jackson then; in fact, he started
going to that school when he was
years old.
Tommy's last three years at the
Agricultural School he made MS
school team and played great ball
batting over 400 each year.
I IKE half the ball players OF the
l. world, Tommy Long started on
as a pitcher. And il was with his
fame as a hurler pretty well scattered
abroad in Alabama that he went to
the Marion Military Institute in the
fan of 1908. He made the NJ. NJ. l.
team easily enough, though 1t was
a strong ball club, and was pitching
good ball when the accident happened
that cured him of being a pitcher.
While batting one day SWIFT
throw caught him on the arm. He
went out of the game for that day
and out of the pitching box for good.
His arm never came back strong
enough so that he could continue
pitching after that day. So that
transferred Tommy TO the outfield to
get the benefit of his hitting, and he
has been in the outfield ever since.
Long kept right on hitting better
than 400 with Marion Military In
stitute his two years there, and that
in spite Of the fact that his club

of the South.

awake to this matter
They know that the real question involved Is
whether the Terminal Company and its associates
shall be permitted 10 get away with 500 acres Of the
peoples land and the Federal bulkhead and nll on
the Delaware river waterfront for speculative pur-
and for the enrichment of a few designing men,
Or whether that land bukhead and waterfront shall
be saved for the people Of the city Of Wilmington

These spectators and their lobbyists press agents
and partsans may do whatever they will TO attempt
to distract public attention from the one great un

fully awake to the issue They are determined
to deal with it in sensible way and to see TO it
that those who expect to get away with the peoples
property through the operations Of the Bukhead Law
OF 1901 and the accommodating attitude OF the Fed
eral Government do not accomplish their purpose
Lobbyists may talk themselves hoarse; press agents
with venality than brains may write until their
fingers are distorted by cramp; Reinhardts and Mar
shas may say all they please in favor Of the marsh

interested in putting the deal through may exert their
powers Of Importantly 10 the utmost with officials
and engineers OF the Federal Government but It Nill

The people Of the city OF Wilmington are keeping
their eyes fixed that stretch of waterfront from
the Christana River up to Edge Moor because they
know that is what the Wilmington Terminal Com
pany and its associates after. and because they
also know that is what they should not have and
are not going to get
That waterfront belongs TO the people; the pro-
posed bukhcad will belong to the people, and the fill

OF the city OF Wilmington determined that the

Reinhardts and the Marshals and It will not fare
well with those who may attempt to interfere with
that public protection CT valuable public property that
Is threatened by speculative private interests
Lobbyists may run certain other things. but they

EDITORIAL OPINION
nEFENnS HIGH RATES

From the Lewes Pilot.
That the pilotage rates Of the Della
ware river and bay are just trifie
higher than at most ports. on vessels
drawing less than 20 feet of water,
was admitted Tuesday in maritime
circles in Philadelphia, but it was on
a parity with many Of the larger ports
on vessels with draft of more than
20 feet The rate as it now stands,
according to one agent Of a foreign
steamships line, was not sufficiently
high to permit the cutting of them
In half, as the bill introduced into the
Pennsylvania Legislature by Repre-
sentative Dunn, of Huntingdon
county. purposes to do.
r reduced rate would, it was
declared, make it Improbable for
efficient men TO undertake the task
of bringing a vessel in and out the
long and tortuous channel of the
Delaware river, which is unequaled
along the Atlantic coast for the
difficulties to be encountered. The
driving out of the efficient men would
bring an influx of incompetent men,
who would add to the hazard Of
damaging a vessel by either ground
ing or colliding with another vessel,
according to an expert riverman.
The rates at the Philadelphia port
are 1914 a foot for vessels drawing II
feet, If they are spoken by the pilot
boat inside Of an imaginary line be-
tween Cape May and Cape Henlopen
Lights. For vessels drawing more
than II feet the charge is $3.50 a
foot. If the vessel is spoken east Of
Five Fathom Light north of Here
ford Inlet Bank or south of Fenwick
Shoal Light, 10 per cent. is added to
the charge. The outward bound rate
is in proportion.
At New York where the pilots have
short and easy channel t. traverse
the rates are S4.13 inward bound and
S3.OS outward bound for vessels
under 20 feet: SASS for inward
bound and S356 for vessels outward
bound drawing more than 20 feet.
Boston charges 50 for 14-foot YES
sells, s325 for 20-foot and $500 for
c5-foot outward; and S3.45. 14-foot;
$425. 2O-foot, and $500, 25-foot, in
ward bound. This port has a short
channel
The charges at Baltimore are S5.25
! for more than 15-foot $500 from y
to IS foot and $3.50 for under -
foot, both inward and outward.
Captain John p. Virden, president
Of the Pennsylvania and Delaware
Pilots Association, said Tuesday
that the pilots, so in number, were
under big expense at the Philadel-
phia port. To maintain the head
quarters at Lewes and the two pilot
boa.s. he said cost the association
more than 100000, in addition to the
expense of the transportation Of the
pilots.

NEMARK Has FARED WELL

From the Newark Ledger
Newark has Jared we'll az the hands
of the members of the Legislature.
They made it possible for summer
school here, lasting five weeks; also
a sum large enough was appropriated
to build an armory for the military
company here.
The affiliated college for the edu-
cation of young women has been made
possible by the Legislature. One or
more objects we wanted, but as we
have done well, no fault can be
found
Now the work of securing grounds
for these buildings is the next con-
sideration. To have the buildings go
up, those who have charge of these
matters must hustle.
The armory should be quite an Or
nament TO our town. The sum appro-
priated is fairly large; large enough
to erect a building that will add at
tractiveness to our progressive town.
The affiliated college building will
be located-where? A sight must be
secured. The longer this matter is
delayed the longer the college only
is in mind. There should be no rea-
son for a lengthy delay. There
should be no great trouble in getting
what is needed.
No one anticipates delay. The
committee having the location site in
charge should not delay. The build
ing should be rushed-if a new build
ing is needed-and by next fall be
ready for the occupation of students
Then the students This matter
should not be overlooked. Literature
should be sent throughout the State
and the number of students at the
start should be large, giving an i'm
petus to the college,

NoReAN's Drarm An INTERNATIONAL Loss.

I P1ERPONT MORGAN. whose death in Rome is re-
, ported by cable today. Americas greatest
hnancicr and OF its greatest phianthropists and
patrons of art and high-cass sport such as nterna
tonal yacht-racing. His impending death had been
foreshadowed by dispatches from Europe and the
American public and the financial world we're not sur
prsed when the news Of actual dissolution was re-
ceiyed Nor did the reception Of that news cause any
serious disturbance in the worlds financial centres
Prices affected to extent, it Is true but
Mr. Morgan. who was aware that his long and event
ful career drawing to a close. had taken ample
precaution against his death having runous or even
distressing affect upon either Morgan enterprises or
Morgan securities
Years ago he adopted the policy OF turning over 10
his and other business associates the active work
OF his great banking house and its branches BY tho
time he had been stricken by mortal illness grad
ua REIMBURSEMENT amounted TO almost his retirement
No doubt the capable men whom he had assembled
about him have taken adequate steps to safeguard al
interests and to continue the great financial and in
dustral enterprises that have been mapped by the
house Of Morgan.
The death of Mr.. Morgan brings with It distinct
loss to the world He was an international banker,
hnancer and promoter Of the first magnitude. AT the
present time there to be on this side Of the
Atlantic who can MI his place mmed-
ately in the international field. No doubt such a man
will arise result OF readjustment OF affairs fol-

GIRLS SCHOOL
NEEDS MONEY
Managers Hope legislature
Will Grant $4,000 APP
preparation Asked for

Members Of the Board of Managers
Of the Delaware Industrial School for
Girls, and others interested in the
school are hopeful, and anxious, that
when the Legislature re-conyenes on
April T. that the appropriation meas
ure for new buildings will be taken
up, and passed by the legislative
members, and that Governor Miller
will sign the bill
The sum Of $4,000 has been asked
for, $4,000 to be appropriated this
year and $4,000 the year following.
The request has been made largely
in the interests Of health of the girls
as present conditions are extremely
unsanitary and unsatisfactory due to
the over crowding.
Eighteen girls are crowded in a
room intended originally for the in
Urinary and arc sleeping in double
decker beds because of lack OF floor
space In eight small single rooms,
where only one girl should be accom-
modated, there are two girls each.
The girls continue to be sent in
from the courts. aud despite the
overcrowded conditions. the mana
gers OF the school feel that they can
not and must not be turned away
The normal capacity of the building
is limited to 80 girls and there are
at present 81 in the building, 16 Of
whom have been sent from Kent and
Sussex counties, four girls having
been received from Seaford, alone.
Since February 1, one girl has been
sent in from Laurel, one from Sea-
ford, one from Smyrna and one from
Dover. More than half the normal
capacity of the school is occupied by
girls from Kent and Sussex counties
yet no money is received for their
maintenance from those counties
not even money for the expense Of
bringing them to the school.
The annual State appropriation is
at present $1,000. From the New
Castle Levy Court is received the
sum of 40 cents daily for each girl,
for the girls in New Castle County.
lTwenty-seven acres of land have been
purchased with a legacy from the
George Lobdell estate, so that the
land will cost the public nothing.
The appropriation of $4,000 has been
asked for the purpose of erecting two
buildings-One for the younger girls
from - to 10 years, and one for the
older girls from Is to Is years. This
separation is a system which is re-
cognize in penal institutions for men
and boys. where the adult delinquents
are separated from those of youthful
age-and the system has been found
entirely satisfactory-and is consid-
cred one Of the most essential needs
in the management of the Delaware
Industrial School.
