REVIVING THE OLD CANAL

A HEARTEN1NG augury of the con-
structive energy which J. Hampton
Moore will bring to his incumbency of
the Mayors Office is suggested by sig
nificant event scheduled to take place in
little Delaware City on October II.
Hopes at once vivid and stimulating are
to be revived on that date, which is to
be signalized by the formal acquisition
by the federal government of the water
way linking the Delaware river with
Chesapeake bay.
Ninety years ago when the canal was
opened it was regarded as a vital link in
the system of internal communications.
But 1929 marked the threshold of the
great era of railroad construction. AS
the rail traffic increased the possibilities
of inland waterways were overlooked. In
time the shallow canals were unable to
accommodate the increasingly larger
type of standard vessels. Despite some
barge traffic and one passenger line, the
Delaware and Chesapeake canal has for
several generations, been virtually mori-
bund as prime factor in transportation.
Mr.. Moore, however, realized that if
the channel were deepened and widened
its original mission could be impressively
accomplished. The taking over of the
canal by the United States Government
is largely due to his initiative in Con-
gress. Modernized, according to plans
in view, the waterway providing direct
route to Chesapeake bay and Hampton
Roads ports should prove powerful i'm
petus to the trade of Philadelphia.
All our Mayors have done lot of
talking about water-borne commerce
here. Mr.. Moore will bring practical
knowledge to the familiar theme. His
coming participation in the Delaware
City exercises, in which Secretary Dan
iels is also expected to take part, is an
encouraging index of tangible progress
of the port while he is chief executive of
the largest city on the Delaware.

WISDOM OF A VETERAN

ERENCE v. POWDERLY saw in
tolerance and stupidity wreck one of
the most powerful labor organizations
ever f>rmed in this country. The Knights
of Labor, Of which he was once the head,
is as extinct as the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr.. Powderly, now chief of the bureau
Of the United States Department of
Labor, is seasoned with experience and
proof against extravagant delusions. His
remedy for industrial unrest is the ad-
51stment of difficulties by discussions be-
tween employers and employees. There is
nothing startlingly new in this solution.
It is merely sane, sincere and broad
minded.
The labor conference for which the
steel strikers refused to wait aims to give
this principle an impressive trial. Mr..
{ Powderly is competent to claim some
knowledge of costly alternatives. The
Reds, who have scant patience with sub
stsntial verities, will, of course, be in
clined to condemn him as a traitor to
their radicalism on behalf of class rule.
To the general public his opinion
coming from a veteran who has beer
through the mill, must carry certain
amount of conviction.

WlcKEDNESS OF MOB LAW

TT rs seldom difficult to pick from the
days news enough instances of the
wickedness of mob law to point moral.
Military forces occupy Omaha, Neb.,
where bloodthirsty mob murderously
attacked the mayor, sworn officer Of
the law who sought to restrain it from
committing a crime In revenge for a
crime.
In Montgomery, Ala, three were
lynched within an hour.
In Mt. Holly, N. j., there is talk of
lynching negro who attacked a white
woman.
If anything justifes a lynching it is
the crime with which this negro is
charged. But nothing justifies lynch
ing. Lynching may be too good for the
criminal. It is the, damnable effect that
il has on the mob and the reaction on the
country at large that make it wholly
bad.

a QUEEN WHO CAN COOK

Queen Mary and party from Bal

Drowsy Thoughts on Fall Fever


ABOUT this time of year, when the mellow
n air swoons (as the poets say) with
golden langlor and the landscape is tinged
n soft brown like piece of toast, we feel
the onset and soft impeachment of fall
fever.
Fall fever is lin our case at any rate)
more insidious than the familiar disease of
spring. Spring fever impels us to get out
in the country to seize knotted cudgel and
a pouchful of tobacco and agitate our limbs
over the landscape. But the drowsiness of
autumn is a lethargy in the true sense of
that word-a forgetfulness. A forgetfulness
of past discontents and future joys; a for
getfuness of toll that is gone and leisure to
come; q mere breathing existence in which
one stands yacantly cycling the human scene,
living in a gentle simmer of the faculties
like boiling kettle when the gas is turned
low.
NALL fever, one supposes. is our inheri-
L tance from the cave man, who (like the
bear and theHwell, some other animal, what
ever it isl went into Information about the
first Of November. Autumn with its soft
inertia luled him to sleep. He ate hearty
meal raked together some dry leaves, curled
| I'D and slid off until the alarm clock of
April.
This agreeable disease does not last very
| long with the modern man. He fights bravely
against it; then the frost comes along, or
the coal bill, and stings him into activity.
| But for a few days its genial torpor may be
seen (by the observant) even in our bustling
modern career. When we read yesterday
that Judge Audenried's court clerks had
| fallen asleep during the ballot counting pro-
| ceedngs we knew that the microbe was
| among us again. Keats, in his lovely Ode,
| describes the figure of Autumn as stretched
| out ION a half -reaped furrow sound asleep
| Unhappily the conventions forbidscity dwell
ers from curling up on the pavements for
| a cheerful nap. If one were brave enough
to do so unquestionably many would follow
his example. But the urbanite has taught
himself to doze upright. You may see many
of us, standing dreamily before Chestnut
street show windows in the lunch hour, to
all intents and purposes In state of sum-
ber Yesterday, in that lucid simmer of
warmth and light, a group stood in front of
doughnut window near Ninth street: not
one of them was more than half awake.
Similarly a gathering watched the three
small birds who have become traditional
window ornament on Chestnut street (they
have recently moved from an oculist to a
correspondence course ofice) and a faint
whisper Of snoring arose on the sultry air.
The customs of city life permit a man to
stand still as long as he likes if he will
only pretend to be watching something. We

The Glories of October
CIVE me autumn and October,

NIVE me autumn and October,
~ With it's crisp and mellow air;
When the rustic on the corn stalks
Drives away our summers care,
When the woods are red and ruddy,
And the skies a golden hue;
At eventide are glowing
With entertainments ever new.
For our bins are filled with plenty,
And our hearts are free and light;
And we sing away our sorrows,
With a satisfied delight,
For in October's gloamin'
We open heavens gates
While the golden sunset shimmers
We think of what awaits.
So give me clear October,
When the sun is sinking low;
For then we near the glory;
In the rich and golden glow;
We almost hear the singing;
Within the golden gates.
Almost hear the joy bells ringing,
From the glory that awaits.

fields. The colleges had it in their power
to prepare the mind of the country for
such crisis, as they had it in their power
to make us better fitted to deal with the
aftermath. But they were hindered by
the parents, who said, "Teach him to
work and make living. An education
that doesn't leave a man able to make
money isn't the sort we want in this
country"
Bolshevism was no surprise TO truly
educated men. They knew that the blind
had led the blind before in disastrous
national adventures that ended in chaos.
Mankind has been fighting and defeating
kaisers since civilization began. What
education ought to teach the youth of
the country is that mankind has COM
mon purpose, that nations are struggling
to understand each other as the Ameri-
can soldiers struggled in the early days
OF the concentration camps. The faculty
men who face the classes of this season
will not have an easy time. Change is
swift and many of the theories cherished
few years ago. are no longer valid.
Only the. old truths, disdained in the
years of materialistic triumph, remain
unchanged in the ruin. Colleges that
steer by them will teach their classes
that you cannot be either rich or wise
until you can be patient, generous, slow
in Judgment and just to all men.

The Kitchen Nook

THESE rosin candles on the shelves
l. Fling little scattering fires about,
Like stars that scintillate themselves
Until they sputter out.
And since they seem alive with light,
l would rather see their twinkling breath
Than the silent tallow dips, so white
In their smoky dreams of death.
For every night when Darby lights
His black dudeen within the nook,
He begins to tell of ghostly sights,
Till the children see a spook.
In the air, on which he blows a puff
AS though spirit left his lips;
So the kitchen nook is queer enough
Without the tallow dips.
