Island Paradise Of Birds.

On one little island in Gatun lake,
formerly known as Lion Hill, before
the impounded waters of the Chagres
river isolated it from the rest of the
Canal Zone, are more species of birds
than in any one locality In the west
ern hemisphere. e. A. Goldman of the
biological survey, department of agri-
culture. in two short collecting trips

Atlantic entrance of the Canal Zone.
no less than $50 species have been

Polka Originally Bohemian.

The polka came originally from 30
hemia, where it has been danced by
the peasants from time immemorlA.
Its introduction into fashionable So

the American people.
With the war-risk bureau in oper-
alton, il is clear that the government
has taken every reasonable step to
insure the resumption nf trade over
seas. The registry bill already has
added to the shipping facilities of the
United States. and Will be more help
full as time goes on.
The ship-purchase bill. however, is
clearly superfluous, and it is doubtful
whether it would have any backing
at all except for the fact that II is
designed, as was the Alaska railroad
bill, to act as an opening wedge for
the government ownership principle.
Since no one has ever Jared to make
government ownership an issue in
a campaign. where the voters doubt
less would express themselves en-
phatically against it, the opening
wedge is apt to prove a doubtful poll
tical expedient.
At least S30,000,0O0 or s40,O0O,0O0
would have to be appropriated for the
purchase OF ships, and p z time when
/ the people are being taxed an addi-
tional Sl05. 100000 to make up an
expected Treasury deficit the proposal
might well be abandoned altogether

! other reason suggests itself.

But as our representative in Con-

the active part in the life Of our State
that these crowding new conditions
demand.
On the other hand Mr. Miller has
made himself part OF the life of
the people. He views with interest
the ambitions of our rural sections
and is intimately acquainted with
the business activities Of Whining
ton. He is enthusiastic over our
wonderful possibilities. He stands
for and is working for a greater De
laware. He is capable Of presenting
these not by the old stump methods
Of yesterday but in the clear concise
manner, as endorsed by practical
men of the day.
While fortunate in an already wide

before him. Mr.. Brockaon has one

THE QUESTION.

FROM the Newark fOSt.
THE QUESTION.
Leaving out the question Of politi-
cal preference and looking toward a
practical business service. whom
would you vote for as the next Con-
gressman from Delaware?
THE ANSWER.
Thomas W. Miller.
THE QUESTION
Why Mr.. Miller in preference TO Mr..
Brockson?
THE ANSWER.
Mr.. Miller is a young man, edu-
Gated, full of ambition, blessed with
a wholesome energy lie has had
an experience far beyond his years.
He has his career before him and has
sensed public opinion knowing that
efficiency is today one of the impor-
tant factors demanded of public ser
wants. He Is a master Of details. He
is not an orator of generation ago
hut is a forceful speaker. He makes
a decision and is an Interesting
fighter. It is generally conceded that
he knows Congressional Washington
as we'll or better than MIR Brockson,
As Secretary Of State he has sur
nrised his staunchest admirers, while
iboee who opposed him for this office
from n standpoint of political eXpedi-
encv. are loud in their praise OF his
vorl, He has made his office OF
more than routine work and political
honor He has acquainted himself
With the minutest business details
ana made this department of the
state government one of real service.
Again. this Office has brought him
in contact with all sections Of the
state. He is cOnversant with the
6ifferent views as represented by our
different phases of life.
Mr. Rrockson was an accident. His
own marty admits this and his term
al Washington has proven the truth
/ of the assertion. Political complica-
/ lions of his party, made his first
/ nomination a matter Of secondary
/ consideration. He was named on the
snur of the moment His second
nomination was opposed by the rank
and file Of his party and he was
named only by force of party leaders
TO save the appearance OF party dis
ruption. His activity in Congress has
been a lengthy speech defending the
whipping post and series of family
auarrels over post Office appoint
ments His vote as was to be expec-
ted. has been prompted from the

THAT MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
The membership campaign that is
being conducted by the Chamber OF
Commerce has been most successful
this week and the work will be con-
tinued beginning on next Tuesday.
The people of Wilmington who
should be members of an active
Chamber are being approached and
asked to sign a three-year member
ship application blank.
The various campaign teams carry
with them copies of the platform of
the principles OF the Chamber, eX-
planning IN detail what the Chamber
will endeavOr to accomplish during
the period for which memberships are
in force.
The platform reads good-and It
should be followed out. All the peo-
pie of Wilmington, it is believed, want
their city TO advance. They want
better conditions all around. The
store keepers want more business.
The wage workers want more wages.
An active Chamber of Commerce,
il II is managed properly. will help
everyone. During the past the Cham
Der or its officials have been Just a
llille TOO careful. we uciltI iOph
out-that move seems q little too
progressive" seems TO have been their
motto. But if the platform Of prin-
1 ciples which had been adopted prior
/ TO the commencement of the present
membership campaign IS carried out
there will be plenty Of progress. And
we believe, from looking over the
names of those who viii become
members Of the rejuvenated Chamber
that the good moves will be carried
out or they will know the reason
why.
A Chamber of Commerce-or any
organization. if YOU please-must be
active-must be progressive. The
members must take an interest in the
doings in the sayings alone.
We believe the people OF Whining
ton-after the campaign has CLOSED
and the good work is started-wheth
er they are members of the Chamber
of Commerce or not. will keep theil
eyes on the to-be-alive commercial
organization. They want TO SCI
something accomplished.
Let the good work beginl
