Der OF sentences In which ] state It

self. with personal responsibility.
IT have come TO ask for the repeal
OF that provision OF the Panama Canal
act OF August "a, 1912. which exempts
vessels engaged in the coast-wise
trade OF the United States from pay
ment OF tolls. and 20 urge upon you
the Justice, the wisdom. and the large
policy OF such a repeal with the ut
most earnestness OF which am cap
sble.
"1n my own judgment, very fully
considered and maturely formed. that
exemption constitutes a mistaken eco
nomic policy from every point of view
and II. moreover, In plain contraven-
tion OF the treaty with Great Britain
concerning the canal concluded on No
vember Is, 1901. But have not come
to you 70 urge my personal views. !
have come TO state 10 you a fact and
situation. Whatever may be our differ
ences OF opinion concerning this much
debated measure it's meaning Is not de-
bated outside the United States. Every
where else the language OF the treaty
ls given but one Interpretation and
that Interpretation precludes the ex-
emption I am asking you to repeal.
We consented TO the treaty; its Lam
guage we accepted. II we did not origi-
nate II: and We are too big, too pow
erful. too self-respecting a nation 70
interpret with too strained OF refined
a reading the words of our own prom
ises Just because we have power
enough TO give us leave to read them
as We please. The large thing to do is
the only thing we can afford to do,
voluntary withdrawal from a position
everywhere questioned and misunder-
stood We ought 10 reverse our ac-
ton without raising the question
whether we are right OF wrong. and
so once more deserve our reputation
for generosity and the redemption OF
every obligation without quibble or
hesitation.
''I ask this OF you in support of the
foreign policy OF the administration.
I shall not know how 70 deal with
other matters OF even greater delicacy
and nearer consequence II you do not
grant IL to me IN ungrudging meas
ure."

WANT ONLY
CITY LABOR ON
THE BUILDING

City Council sitting as committee
Of the whole last night, adopted reso-
luton requesting the Wilmington Build
ing Commission, which has charge Of the
construction Of the proposed city and
county building at Tenth and King
streets, 10 employ all the local labor
they can on the work and to give local
merchants, supply men, builders, me-
chanics and others whose line of busi-
ness is embodied in the work, the first
chance on all work in connection with
the buildings
The couneilmen expressed the opinion
that in recent years Wilmington inter
ests along all lines have been too much
ignored in all work on public and semi
public buildings that have been erected
in this city and State Some specific
instances were mentioned where local
trade was passed over for outside con-
Germs and the results were anything
but satisfactory.
Il appeared 70 he the opinion that the
building commission should bire as much
labor in this city as il possibly can
when the actual work on the public
buildings is stated. The members also
thought the commission should purchase
in this city all supplies. furnishings and
the like, as lar as it can and that local
concerns should be given the preference
in everything where all conditions are
equal.
They understood that there are sew
leral lines of work which are not handled
in this city, and therefore this will of
necessity have to 90 out of Wilmington.
But there appeared to be a unanimity Of
opinion that in all cases where it IS pos
sible local concerns aud local mechanics
iand labor should have first chance. At
ltonight's meeting n resolution memorial
izing the building commission to this
effect will be presented and no doubt
adopted.
The public buildings will cost about
Sl.0O0,0O0. BY patronizing home trade
and labor this money. il is pointed out,
will be circulated in the city and county
instead of going beyond the limits Of
the State.

HIGH PRICES FOR
DELAWARE COWS

That live stock in Delaware is as
valuable as in any State in the Union,
was proven at public sale held on
New Castle county farm yesterday,
when cows sold averaged $50 each.
Robert II. George, who lived on the
Governor Cochran farm. one mile and
half west Of Middletown, held
public s~'e Of his live stock and farm
ing IT, = nents. While the farm "a
not very large, the sale netted a total
of $500.
Two cows on the farm sold for SIPS
apiece, two sold for $3.50 apiece and
one sold for $3.50. These prices
brought the average prices brought
by all the cows on the farm up TO
$50 apiece.
Horses sold for $3.50 to $3.50. These
are considered extremely good prices
considering that it was a public sale.

DIAMOND ICE co.
TO INSTALL NEW SYSTEM.

Beginning April /, the Diamond Ice
and Coal Company will install new
system for Ice delivery which will do
much towards making the system
much more efficient than il has been
In the past.
II is the introduction OF what is
known as the coupon system, which
has been In use in the large cities for
number OF years and has met with
the unanimous and unqualified ap-
proval OF ice consumers in these sec
tons.
The advantage of such a system
cannot be over-estimated. The
faults and annoyances Of former
methods employed in delivering and
charging for ice will be overcome.
Il enables the drivers 10 devote their
entire time to the delivery service,
as they are entirely relieved of the
responsibility OF making change, col
lections and keeping accounts.
The Ice coupons are simply tickets
calling for a stated number Of pounds
Of pure Diamond ice. These coupons
are bound into books. and as each
piece OF ice is delivered TO the
consumer the coupons represent
ing the weight OF the piece is
given the delivery man. This obvi-
ates the necessity OF having to make
change and does away with consid.
cradle bookkeeping.
These coupon books may be oh.
tained from tho drivers OF at any oi
the ofilces of the company Il will
readily be seen that the adoption ol
this system means convenience anC
accuracy, and overcomes opportunity
for error or dispute.
