Great Lakes to tidewater on the Hudson

Ing business men of Boston The Erie
oanaI threatened to take away much OF
the commercial prominence which Bos-
ton had gained. But the question was
what to do. and IL was answered by one
OF the ablest men Massachusetts has
ever numbered among her citizens. He
was Gen. Henry A. s. Dearborn. He had
served In Congress, had become quite
an author. and he was distinguished for
a mind which was both practicable and
theoretical.
Gen. Dearborn said to the merchants
OF Boston and to the Massachusetts leg
lsiature that there was only one way that
he knew OF to make 1t possible for Bos-
ton still to maintain commercial COM
petition at New York. That way was the
construction of a canal across Massachu-
setts to tidewater on the Hudson oppo-
site the end of the Erie Canal. He
pointed out that the Merrimac River
could be canalized, saying that the only
difficult part of the work would be the
carrying of the canal over. through or
under Hoosac Mountain. He was inclined
to think that the best way to do that
was to cut a tunnel four miles long
under Hoosac Mountain. That, 1 be-
lieve. was the first suggestion of the
Hoosac Tunnel Well, the State OF Mas
sachuetts authorized MIN to make a sur
vey for a canal OF that kind. and he
was Just about to begin the work when
suddenly something happened.
Capt. Whistler. who was graduated
at West Point, was summoned to Mas
sachusetts by the capitalists who had
planned building a railroad from Boston
to Albany. Whistler accepted the in
vitation to become chief engineer of this
road. He did build the road and 1t was
one Of the phenomenal successes of early
American railroad building. His success
led to his selection by the Gar Of Rus
sia as the engineer who was to have
charge of the construction of the rail-
road from Moscow to st. Petersburg. |,
Well, of course. after Whistler built this
road there was no need of a canal, so
the plan was abandoned. That, however. |
was not to the discredit OF Gen. Dear
born, for he certainly would have Sc
cured an admirable survey for a canal
across Massachusetts, had not the unex- |
pected building Of this railroad made a
canal of that kind unnecessary"

We all know that it is hard for two persons to
live together even on merely friendly or on formal
terms. In most instances the experience implies
clash OF will. The difficulties are intensified as
the relation grows closer the tendencies of one
or the other are increased. In marriage thev are
generally recognized formidable "In every
mouse there are two bears, bear and forbcar" This
oId-fashioned saying gets down to the heart of
the trouble The natural instinct with most neo.
pie Is to assert the will To deny it requires eth
er genus or weak disposition or becomes SELF
discipline. In discipline most OF us are lacki,o
mere arc few so generous as to be willing to sub-
ordinate ourselves. And as for weakness most
OF us are so afraid of it that mere possibltv ~
Deng considered weak forces us TO take what wo
regard as strong line of action.

Time to Call a Halt.

Remarkable as is the attitude
which has been assumed by Germany
as regards the requested withdrawal
of Captains Boy-Ed and Won Papen.
whose activities have long been an
offence to the American people, the
failure of Berlin to. respond at once
to Secretary Lansing's request is not
to be regretted. 1t affords an in
dex which seems to have been need
ed as to how slight is the impression
made upon the Kaiser's government
by all of President Wilson's patience
in the Lusitania case. The people
of the United States want to know
whether Germany is really desirous
of provoking a rupture with this
country, or at the best is Indifferent
as to whether she forces such ca
tastrophe despite the anxious efforts
of Washington to avoid it. For
more than half year the demands
of the United States in the Lusitania
case have been evaded; and mean
while Berlin has made no apparent
effort to check or restrain the null
tiplication of offences in Germany's
interest against the American Gov
ernment and American institutions
and industries. This sort of thing
cannot be permitted to 60 on for
ever. A halt ought to be called
now. If nothing but drastic meas
ures will serve to put stop to the
kind of activities which have been in
progress, then drastic measures
should be employed. -Necs and

What Are You Going to Do?

Well, citizens of Williamsburg,
YOU have read the communications
in The Record by Taxpayer" and
Taxpayer No 2" concerning i'm
portant changes in our county laws.
The questions so far discussed are
timely ones and should not end in
mere discussion. A mass meeting OF
all taxpayers should be held at the
court house here at an early date
and the questions most vitality con-
cerning the welfare OF the county
and her citizens as a whole, intelli-
gently discussed, with a view to
having the county delegation urge
the passage of such measures as will
accomplish the desired end. There
are no questions of greater impor-
tance to Williamsburg people just
now than roads and schools. We
need something better than the pres
ent system affords, and it is up to
the taxpayers of the county to insist
upon an improvement of these sys-
TENS of county government through
their representatives in the Legisla-
lature. All that can be done under
existing laws is being done, and in
order to bring about any improve
ment new laws will have to be en-
acted or the present ones greatly
changed. The Legislature will meet
early in January its sessions are,
as you all know short and far apart;
there can be. no better time for your
Representatives to take these propo-
sitions up for consideration than at
the next meeting of the General AS
sembly. We believe they are willing
to do it, too, if their constituents will
only get together and let their wish
es be known. What are you going
to do?

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
Any KiDgStree Citizen.

The public endorsement of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none strong

forward and testifes to his fellow
citizens, addresses his friends and
neighbors, you may be sure he is
thoroughly convinced or he would
not do so. Telling ones experience
when it is for the public good is an
act of kindness that should be ap-
preciated. The following statement

surprise.
This is the first of the so-callcd

The case resulted from the tragedy
on the court house steps at Winns-
boro June IA, when crowd opened
fire on Sheriff Hood, his deputies and
the negro Smith. while the latter

assault.
At a subsequent term of court
Judge Hayne F Rice granted a
change of venue and designated
York as the county in which the de.
PENDANTS should be tried. Judge
Rice is presiding here now.
While nothing in the way of dis
order is expected precautions are
being taken to the extent of search
ing all persons who enter the court
house. 1t was said that no deadly
weapon was found on anyone today.

REJECT VIEW OF
DUAL MONARCHY
The United States Sends Reply on
the Munitions Protest To
Vienna.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-THE
United States government yesterday dis
patched to Vienna reply rejecting the
Austro- Hungarian views recently set
fort hin a note contending that the great
scale on which war munitions are be-
ing exported from America to enemies
of the Germanic allies, lis not in con-
sonance with the definition of neutral
ity.'
The note was cabled to Ambassador
Penfield, who proba bly, will present it to
the Vienna foreign office to-day.
Though framed in friendly diplomatic
language, the reply is understood to re-
pudiate fatty the suggestion that the
United States has permitted violations
of neutrality and to stand firmly upon
the right of American exporters to send
war supplies to belligerents able to pur-
chase and receive them. The United
States always has held that this is an
unquestionable right under international
law, and high officials here pointed out
that to prevent such shipments to one
country because another was not in a
position to receive them would In itself
be violation of neutrality. Precedents
also have been recalled where in previous
wars Germany and Austria imported
arms extensively.

and Scandinavia, asking them to join
with him in an effort to obtain at least
