PHILADELPHIA'S INTEREST
IN THE ACTS OF CONGRESS
Its Representatives Are Expected to Fight
for Legislation Needed by Local
Industries

WHAT effect will the action of Con
w gress have upon this city, upon
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware?
This is the question which most init
mately concerns US today. We are in
tcrested, of course, in the general proc
lens of reconstruction and in the restora-
tion Of the affairs of the nation to peace
basis.
But we are particularly interested in
the effect upon our own Industries and i'm
our own material development Of what
Congress does and leaves undone. And
we expect our representatives in Wash
ingtOn to exert themselves to the utmost
to secure the passage of such laws as
will best serve this part Of the country.
There is nothing narrow or provincial
in such course. 1t is the working out of
the representative system of govern
ment. 1t is to accomplish such ends that
the representative system was cstab-
lished. We have thirty-siX members of
the House and two senators charged with
the duty Of looking after our interests.
New Jersey and Delaware have their
delegates in Washington similarly
charged.
They are expected to examine the gen
cral reconstruction acts in the light of
their knowledge of the needs of this part
of the country first and then to assist in
adjusting them to the needs of the whole
country in such a way that this part of
the country will not suffer.

problem. 1t is enough to say that Con-
gress is expected TO pass such laws as
will insure to us merchant marine suffi-
cient to carry large proportion of our
foreign trade. If such laws are passed
then our yards will be kept busy building
business man on both sides of the Della
ware will profit directly by the prosper
GUS industry here at home. And the
nation at large will benefit in a broader
way by that expansion of trade which
will come through the presence of the
American flag in the ports of the seven
seas.

Dove Dulcet, our sub caliber poet, says
that if he lnew the name of the intrepid man

The Shortest Poem on
the Greatest Topic
Harry Hawkcr,
You re a cOrkcr.

4 man in Missouri says he has attained
the mellow age of 101 by never arguing.
We applaud heartily and have written to
him asking him to be honorary president of
our Tactiturnverein.
But we are sorry that he says nothing
about smoking a corncob. for one of our pet
theories is that the faithful use of a Mis-
souri, meerschaum is one of the best ways of
postponing dissolution.
Mr.. Morgenthau says the United States
will have to go to war again within twenty
years to save the world.
If that be so, we doubt whether it's worth
saving. AS the father of two and Il half
year old urchin we are seriously consider
ing painting him with stripes and raising
him us zebra. If we did it right now, he
would probably never know that he wasn't
always a zebra.

And the shipping program of Congress
affects the Delaware river industries
more deeply than it affects those of other
parts of the country. The great ship
yards of the nation are here. Hog Island
which is the biggest shipyard in. the

ginning of the war. Congress is aware
of these facts. It's members have been
here and have been astounded at what
has been done.

will keep these yards busy and provide

Circulation and Publicity

You'll find it true, from shore to shore,
Across this mighty nation,
No magazine or man may live
Without good circulation.
Publicity is craved by all
Paper or politician;
How craftily they hide their bait,
Whene 'er they go a -fishin'!
Publicity is not attained,
Except by circulation,
Of man or paper. far and wide,
Throughout this far flung nation.
And wider as the circle grows,
1t sets a power in motion.
Publicity is thus achieved,
From ocean unto ocean.
Reaction equals action. So
Publicity, in growing,
Increases circulation. Oh,
This all results are showing.

But it is not enough to improve the
Delaware. The canal which connects the
river with the Chesapeake bay is to be
taken over by the government. A large
appropriation is needed to provide for
widening and deepening it for the accom-
modation of large steamships to ply be-
tween this city and Baltimore and sup
plement the railroad transportation be-
tween the two cities.
The Delaware and Raritan canal ought
to be enlarged into a waterway for the
accommodation of shipping so that we
could send freight to New York harbor
and bring it from New York harbor to
this city and to Chesapeake bay points at
a lower rate than the railroads can afford
to carry it.
These improvements are only super
fcially of local concern, for when they
are made the whole West and South
which find an outlet for their products on
the seaboard will be benefited by the in
creased demand for what they raise and
by the greater facility provided for send
ing it abroad.

Take the matter of railroad legislation,
for example. We have great railroad
companies incorporated in this state and
serving its people. They are now
operated under the direction of the
national government. We are vitally
concerned in their return to their owners
in as good shape as they were when they
were taken over. Legislation which will
protect railroad property here will pro-
tect railroad property in other states.
1t has been suggested that laws are to
be passed for the coordination, Of rail
and water lines of transportation. We
are also vitality interested in this matter
in both ends of the state because of the
great volume of traffic carried by water
from Pittsburgh and from this city. 1t
ought to be possible for the railroads to
get into intimate relations with the
steamship lines coming up the Delaware
both in the coastwise and the trans
atlantic trade and to quote through rates
to any port in the world.
Still further, the Delaware river chan
| mel needs more attention than it has ever
| received. If the nation is TO develop its
| foreign trade it is of the first importance
that every port on the Atlantic seaboard
| should be improved as fast as conditions
warrant. Our own representatives are
charged with the duty of looking after
| our own port. The representatives of
New Jersey and Delaware are equally
concerned with them. The port of Cam

The new law does not contemplate
the actual transfer of such money
to- the state owned bank at Bis

such funds in the name Of the bank
and will 40 doubt be left in local
banks which affiliate themselves
with the state institution. The
purpose of the law is to keep North

STATE BRIEFS
Plan Bridge Over Big Muddy

The state highway commission is
interested in the proposal to put a
wagon bridge across TIE Mis-
souri, river between Bismarck and
Mandan. If this 100000 inn
provement is pushed to completion
by the Burleigh county and Morton
county commissioners, it will be
the only bridge across the Missouri,
above Council Bluffs Iowa. The
only way to cross into the Slope
country now is by ferry. The bridge
would be a link in the Red trail, or
National Parks highway, and would
attract much tourist traffic. The
city OF Bismarck has voted So, 800
for preliminary survey. The
Burleigh county board appropriated
500 600 for construction, and the
Morton county board has appropr =
ated s92, 800 as its share. 1t is
probable that Slope counties will
cede some OF their share of the fed
eral road fund to- aid in the erection
of the new traffic artery.
