THRrE coon APPOINTMENTs.

T-HREE splendid selections have been made by tho
State judges for place on the commission that
is 10 supervise the construction OF the joint city
and county building at Tenth and King streets To
John j. Rasko5 one Of the men, belongs the dis
tnction OF being the father Of the joint building
ject II WAS he who had the tentative plans pre-
pared and who did the active and effective
paieninE for the building. That work done not
only in Wilmington but also in all the rural dis
tricts. His arguments so convincing that he
made the people Of the entire county practically
unit favor OF the big public improvement No bet
ter selection could have been made by the judges.
Dan Corbit, Jr, another Of the commissioners is a
prominent farmer whose home is in Odessa. He not
only is a large property owner, but has extensive
financial and commercial interests. His wide exper-
ience fits him peculiarly for the discharge Of the
important work to which he has been assigned
James l. Ford who also has been named, is equally
well known to the people Of this city and county He

pRoTEcTION FOR BIRD LIFE.

BILLIONS Of birds with beautiful plumage have
~ been slaughtered in this and other countries for
commercial purposes. In instances the slaughter
has been far-reachng and persistent that many
species Of birds have disappeared, The ruth
lessness OF the slaughter has become an interna4
tonal scandal Of which our Congress- thanks to the
activities Of the Now York Geological Society and
other protective agencies at last has taken cogn-
zance.
10 is encouraging to note that the Ways and Means
Committee Of the House. after long and careful de-
liberation has accepted the provision drafted and Of
fered by the New York Geological Society, prohibit
ing in a most sweeping manner the importation OF
tho feathers or pumage Of wild birds in any FORM
that are not for scientific educational purposes Os-
trch feathers and the feathers OF all domestic fowls
are excepted II goes without saying that the pro
posed provision in the new tariff law will be opposed
vigorously by importers OF plumage Their represen-
tatiyes doubtless will raise the cry that many en-
ployes will be thrown out Of employment Americans
may find comfort the fact that almost all such en-
poyes are in Europe that the effect OF the break
ing ND OF the traffic here will be felt by few Ameri-
cans The chief point is that everything indicates
that the United States is going TO give to the civil
zed world an object lesson in bird-ife conservation
and that the record OF America will be clear o
the odium which attaches to wld-brd slaughter tha
has scandalized the world. with America blazing
the way II may be that En ngand France, Germany and
Holland will follow it's lead and take steps to do theii
mart In saving from extinction the most beautiful and
useful wild birds OF the world.

THE MISSISSIPPI AND THE RIVERS AND HAR-
BORS BILL.

- REPRESENTATIVE j. HAMPTON MOORE president
N OF the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Association
part Of the membership OF which is in this State has
advanced the plea that in view OF the recent disastrous
foods in the Mississippi valley, the Mississippi and
SIS tributaries should be removed from consideration
An Rivers and Harbors bills and their problems dealt
with by a separate commission No doubt many per-
share with him the opinion that it is not fair 10
the East the Middle West that legitimate navigation
projects shall be halted that than Ss,00O000 OF
a total Of about s4oO0O00O in the Rivers and Har-
bors bill shall be applied to the reconstruction Of
levees along the banks Of the lower Mississippi.
Everyone sympathizes with the sufferers in the Mis-
sissippi Valley No one hegrudges them any APP
preparations the Federal Government may make for
their future safety and well-being. The objection
raised is due to the fact under the present sys-
tenn these Mississippi river appropriations made for
the protection OF land and the people inhabting IT, in
stead Of being charged against such protection are
charged against the needs Of navigation" In short
that projects for the Improvement OF navigation
held up that the Mississippi Valley may receive
protection under the Rivers and Harbors bill
Speaking Of the situation in the Mississippi Valley
Representative Moore says Il is wholly improbable
that they viii be able to build their great
trolling works through the annual raid in the name Of
navigation upon the Rivers and Harbors Bill That
bin Is intended solely 10 advance commerce and navi-
CATION and there is a growing heller in Congress and
out Of il, that the Mississippi River should be di-
rorced from jurisdiction the Rivers and Harhors
Committee. in order that special bureau commits
sion like that Of the Mississippi River Commission
should take over the problem OF food prevention and
leave the Rivers Harbors Committee free to de-
vclop commerce and vigaton both inland and along
the Coast without each year being sacrificed upon the
altar OF reclamation and food prevention Indeed
there is more than possibility that Congress the
approaching session may be asked TO take up the
Mississippi River and It's troubles. separate and
distinct proposition that while the greater consid

the people OF the Middle West there may not longer

REGULATION AND PROHIBITION

To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir:-ln a recent editorial in THE
EVENING JOURNAL you say:
1T is not to be forgotten that the
people Of Sussex voted that the
county should be dry. II. in the face
Of that mandate of the people. il is
being kept wet by the Illicit opera
tions Of drinking clubs and II the
state authorities are not to make an
effective move against such violators,
it would be better for Sussex to return
to the license system which would
supply regulation OF the traffic and
produce revenue"
You would be correct in saying that
II would be better 10 return to the
license system not only in Sussex
county, Del, but in every county
where prohibition has been tried
throughout the country. No dry law
is permanent Prohibition must fail,
whether 1t prohibits or not II it
does not prohibit it is failure II it
does prohibit il will be repealed. That
it has not prohibited in the past is evil
denced by the fact that in the past
seventeen years the annual average
consumption Of alcoholic liquors has
increased 500 gallons for every man
woman and child in the United States
During all of that time the Anti
Saloon League was busily engaged in
making territory dry"
We now have the Webb law, and
under It shipments, even to con-
sumers in dry" territory may be
stopped. but this will cause the re-
lection OF prohibition in all dry
territory so effected.
The National Model License Lea
que has for several years advocated
a license law embodying these prin-
ciples:
First-That a retail license once
issued should carry with it the right
Of renewal so long as the holder
obeyed the law and so long as the
community is not voted dry - This
would prevent politicians from hav-
ing an influence in the granting OF
refusing Of licenses,
Second-The license fee should be
reasonable; excessive high license
must enevitably compel the handling
OF inferior goods or possibly the VIC
lation Of law.
Third-Issue no new licenses unit
the proportion becomes one for eacf
6o0 of ,,onulation
Fourth Suspend the license fol
thirty days upon the holders mrs
conviction Of law, and cancel it per
manently upon second conviction
Indiana has adopted law embody
ing these provisions. and it has work
ed so we'll that even the Anti-SslooI
League did not dare ask the Legisla
ture to repeal II.
Respectfully,

Weight of a Train.

The heaviest of all the cars in a
limited" train is the dining car, which
is ordinarily of weight in excess oil
the other cars by 10000 or $4,000
pounds. Between the car construction
and the necessary kitchen equipment
and icebox contents, full sized stand
ard dining cars tips the scales at
100000 pounds when ready to make
its customary division run.
Therefore, on the principle that in
case of collision passenger is safer
in the strong, heavy coach in the cen.
ter of vestibuled train, says the New
York Press, the dining car Is a good
place to remain.
A Is section sleeping car may
weigh from 10000 to 1885, 900 pounds
while the buffet library car of the
transcontinental type comes next n
weight at 100000 pounds. The bag
gage car, weighing $4,000, may be the
lightest in train, but the postal cal
next to it weighs on an average 1903,
900 pounds; reclining chair car IL
full weight at $1,000 pounds, while ar
ordinary passenger coach weighs SO,
900 pounds.
With locomotive and tender weigh
ing 100000 pounds, one may estimate
by these figures the enormous weigh
of some of the through modern railwa,
trains of seven cars.

times are credited with having saved
Rome. An extraordinary story just
published seems to show, however
that occasionally the valor of the
goose outruns it's discretion. An ex,
press train from Brussels to Client
was running at the rate of nearly
fifty miles an hour, when the driver
and stoker were astonishd to find a
bulky black body hurting itself against
the glass screen in front of the for
mer. The screen was shivered, and
the man was cut about the face by
the broken glass. The intruder was
nothing else than a wild goose, which
having fallen on the tender, arose and
advanced, kissing, to attack the
stoker, who with shovel stood up to
his strange antagonist, and finally
succeeded in beating off and stretch
ing it lifeless on the coal
The driver had instinctively put OF
the brake at the first onset, and the
train came to a standstill without any
body understanding what happened
After ten minutes. however, the jour
ney was resumed. This goose de
serves even greater credit than the
eagle that attacked the Aviator
