Spirit of the Delmarvia Press

The only plan open now is to unite
on some other place i'm town and i'm
looking the town over there seems to
be no other place available except the
town hall and it is a question whether
town council would have funds to pre-
pare a place without borrowing the
money When it is considered that a
gong of considerable weight has TO
be installed for the clock, it takes a
strong and specially built tower and
Council would probably have TO bor-
row the money i'm addition to what
was raised by popular subscription.
Not a few are opposed to the town
hall because they think town clock
should be installed nearer the -Four
Corners" in the business center. The
failure to get the federal building for
town clock has dampened the ardor
of many and the movement for a pop
ular subscription has been dropped
until a more available site presents
itself.

Quoted in this city by the Roy. Dr. Milford II.
Lyon viii come to end.
That has appealed strongly 10 the people is shown
by the large audiences he has had in the Tabernacle,
the number Of persons who have hit the trail, and
the success that attended the shop, mill and other
outside meetings.
II is the practice OF Dr Lyon to rely the col
ections taken ON the last Sunday OF the revival TO
compensate him for his work In other words, all the
money collected that day goes to him. That plan
is to be adhered to here Men like Mayor Price, who
are interested actively in the revival arc arranging
now to have that final offering aggregate at least S0
OOO They are soliciting subscriptions to make up
that amount such subscriptions to be turned in
the last day.
The Mayor and his associates feel that a man who
has done much Dr. Lyon has done for the spirit
ual and moral uplift Of community and who has
become so interested in the work here as to spend
fully 81 300 of his money in fostering it, should
receive less than $4,000 thank Offering The
pledges thus received indicate that there many
other persons in city who share that opinion. In
fact everything indicates that the fund sought will
be raised that the great bulk of il will be in
before the last day Of the revival arrives.

A Tub To The Whale
GTrom the Norfolk Virginia Pilot)

The McAdoo shipping bill, as report
ed to the House OF Representatives
last week, varies somewhat from the
measure which failed of adoption at
the preceding session Of Congress.
IL makes an apparent concession
to some of the objections then
successfully urged. but the alterna-
tive offered in Government ownership
and operation is contingent merely
and as such will not serve TO allay
opposition which looks below the sur
face to the substance of things
AS synopsized for the press, the
following are the main provisions of
the proposed enactment:
1T calls for an initial appropriation
of S50,000000 for the purchase or
lease OF vessels, the money to be OBJ
tained by the sale Of Panama Canal
bonds.
"The shipping board is to be com
posed Of five members. the Secretary
of the Navy, the Secretary of Com
merce and three men of large practi-
cal experience in foreign commerce"
to be named by the President and to
receive each a salary OF $4,000 a
year Another fat job for a secretary
is provided, the salary OF which is
$4,000 a year. And of course there
are various other employees Of the
board from the Civil Service.
with the S50.O0O.0O0 the board will
organize corporation TO lease. buy
or build ships of commerce. but the
board Is required to use American
made ships as far as possible, and
ships Of foreign make will be confined
to the oversea trade and will not be
allowed to engage I'm the coastwiso
trade The shipping board is en-
powered to regulate all interstate and
foreign commerce in American wa
ters, just as the Interstate Commerce
Commission now regulates interstate
water traffic.
"The stock OF the corporation organ
lied by the shipping board will be of
fered to citizens OF the United State
and II all the stock be subscribed 70
the Government will never operate

tai the board will operate. Vessel

that liberal regulations for Unite
States shippers and more rigid rule

powers of the shipping board"

laws is a sine qua non OF profitable
engagement in foreign commerce by
American ships under peace condi-
tiOns, and vessels owned by the Gov
ernment would labor under the same
disadvantage unless thas should be
exempted from the letters imposed on
privately owned craft Of American
registry. Il is true that the extraor-
dinarily high rates now obtainable for
ocean freights on account Of the war
might for the nonce cOunterbalance
those disadvantages; but it is highly
improbable that a merchant fleet can
be constructed or purchased under the
terms of the McAdoo bill during the
duration OF the war and after peace
! is declared, with all the ships now
interned or cooped up in blockaded
ports set free. the world situation will
be one not of a shortage Of ocean car
riers, but Of carsoes to give them em-
iployment
/ Whichever way the subject is view
ed, we are brought back to the ques-
tion, Why does not Congress not give
permanent relief to the shipping inter
ests OF the country by restoring its
registration and navigation laws to a
common sense basis? Why should
temporary and doubtful shifts be re-
sorted to, when by the simple process
Of retracing ill-iudged steps and aban-
doninS ruinous policits. all the objects
pTofessedly sought may be surely
gained?
It is utterly illusory to suppose that
any powers Of regulation can be con
ferred on the proposed Board which
will place the merchant marine of the
United States on a sure and profit
able footing unless the Federal laws
discriminating against American ships
should be repealed The Board car
not be put above the law. nor can d
d be endowed with discretionary power
> TO suspend or mitigate its require
5 ments. That the Board may prove o
+ value in bearing towards interstate
4 commerce in American waters tn
e same relation that the Interstate Com
S merce Commission does towards over

r pared to dispute. But for any bene
e fetal influence it might exert on th
Y larger subject under discussion. Will
= the shipping and navigation laws re
j main as now written on the Fedora
s statute book. we regard the prospec
d as absolutely without promise. If tn
c Administration favors subsidy or Gov
ernment ownership, why not say S
It and fight for its hand in the open
b. The plan now pending seems to us u
IS more than an ill-digested scheme fc
a taking am ill-disguised step in that d
n rection. We shall be greatly SUI
o prised if Congress adopts the bill
e it's present shape. but, should il do s.
e we are confident the result will

GARRIsON.s REsIGNATION.

I view of the treatment Lndley NJ Garrison, secre-
tary of War; has received at the hands Of President
Wilson 1t is not surprising that he has resigned from
he Cabinet He would have stutlhed himself in the
eyes OF the world had he done otherwise The Presi-
dent had played fast and loose with him so long on
matters of military policy that the situation had be
come uncomfortable by resgning. Mr. Garrison has
maintained himself in public respect Even those who
DO sympathze with his continental plan feel
that both he and it had been betrayed by the Chief
Executive for the sake of political expedency and
second term.
The correspondence between the President and Sec
reary Garrison shows that the latter had every reason
to look for support from the White House. When re-
pudiaton came instead of support only decent
open to the Secretary of War; That was TO
set out the Cabinet and to let it be known clearly
why he had gotten out In view OF the treatment he
had received he should have pursued that course long
ago. No other member Of the Cabinet has deserved
so much and received so little at the hands Of the

BONDING COUNTY FOR SCHOOLS,
ROADS AND BRIDGES.
FrOm the Salisbury NoWs.

From the Salisbury News.
The County Commissioners in their
effort to meet the demands made upon
them for certain public improvements
in WicOmico county. have determined
to ask the present session Of the
General Assembly to authorize bond
issue Of from Sl250OO TO S150,O0O for
the purpose of providing funds for
the purposes of erecting new school
houses in Salisbury, Delmar. Willard,
Hebron, and in some Of the outside
districts.
For the purposes OF meeting the
county's part of the State-aidcd roads
funds under the Shoemaker act
For the purpose Of paying for the
two bridges already erected in Sails
bury, for new bridge at Main street
and for the removal of the present
Main street bridge to Wetipquip
creek
All of these items are important,
pressing and much needed public inn
prOvements which the taxpayers Of
the county are asking az the hands
Of the County Commissioners and
which cannot be granted under the
annual levies without increasing the
county tax rate 10 a sum which
would prove burden to the people.
For this reason the commissioners
have decided to appeal 10 the people
to aid in the passage OF an enabling
act to provide the necessary funds
TO make these improvements.
From a purely financial standpoint
it is easy to see that the proper way
TO finance these propositions is by a
bond issue. If the County Commits.
sioners attempt 20 borrow money for
these purposes the county would hav,
TO pay six per cent. for the funds
whereas the bonds could be sold on 4
basis of four per cent. at a small
premium. The bonds can be issue'
in serials TO be redeemed in certain
amounts zach year. and the sinking
fund and interest charges would no
be nearly as burdensome as the in
( creased tax rate each year to TAX
care OF the expenditures.

VITE notice that several prominent colored preachers
w the Eastern Shore Of Maryland are urging the
passage Of a law prohibiting the holding Of Negro

TAKEN TO TASK A YEAR
AFTER OFFENSE COMMITTED

John MACPHERSON returned tC
Sterling a week or two ago and will
be tried Friday of this week for
committing an assault upon Bishop
R. A. Ward, of Sterling, a year ago
last month.
Bishop Ward had the management
Of a dance on his hands at that time
when it was necessary to expel Mac
Pherson from the hall for being
abusive. MACPHERSON was fined some
thing like $40. At a later dance he
again came and refused to pay on
the grounds that he had paid enough
for a season ticket to dancing in the
ward. But he finally paid, swearing
that he would take it out on Ward,
which he did that very night. He
lay in wait at Wards home and when
he came they had a big fight.
The next morning MACPHERSON,
knowing he had been the aggressor,
went before Justice Of the Peace,
Landon ]. Rich, plead guilty to as
sault, and paid an So fine. Ward
came to Blackfoot to see Prosecut-
ing Attorney Adair, who got out an
other warrant against MACPHERSON;
but Macpherson had left the country.
So when he returned a few weeks
ago he was soon nabbed and arraign-
ed before Justice of the Peace Henry
Berg. His trial is set for Friday,
August Is.

ON ALL THREE FRONTS
Italians and Russians Make the
Greatest Gains, Taking of
Gorilla Important

The wal headlines have for the
past week been almost upon the
rocks of repetition, as for instance
the following instances will witness:
Wednesday, August 8, big Sue
cess is Scored by Italian Army"
Thursday, August 10, italians
Capture Gorizia."
Friday, August II, Russians Men
ace Stanislau." italians Continue

Monday, August IA, Russ Drive

Tuesday, August Is, "Teutons in
Galicia are Retreating."
Wednesday, August 16, Russians
Gain Gateway from Galicia Into
Hungary"
Gorilla is important because it lies
just north of Trieste. one of Austria's
chief strongholds along the border,
and no doubt contains much valuable
ammunition, and other supplies. The
almost inevitable result of the Rus
sian entrance into Galicia is the fall
of Lemberg, which will bring the
fighting line down to the Carpathians
once more.

The house has more readily agreed
to the navy part of the national de-
Tense bill than did it's representatives
in conference. On Tuesday the house
accepted the building plan with a
large majority vote; it's conferees
had refused to accept any such extra
VACANT plan. The ship building
authorized in this bill is the greatest
amount ever passed in any country.
Increasing the personnel Of the
navy to TATTOO is another item in this
big defense bill to which the confer
ees could not agree and which passed
the house without the least trouble.
Previously the house had held out
for a personnel Of $4,000 and the
building of only five capital ships.
