CANAL WORK AWAITING
ACTION BY CONGRESS
Believed That Necessary Authority
Will be Granted and Opera
tions Begun Soon.
Special Correspondence of Every Evening

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Delaware City, March o.-Action by
Congress authorizing government engi-
neers to proceed with the Improvement OF
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
alone. is holding back the work While nc
definite information has been received
here that such action will be taken Inn
mediatelv, it is believed in engineering
circles that authority will be given in time
to start work with the opening Of spring.
Practically the largest part of the pre-
liminary survey for widening and deepen
ing the canal is completed. In some of the
lower stretches the. survey will require a
short time longer.
Locally and throughout the entire
canal zone, alert interest is manifested.
1t is understood that when started the
work will mean steady employment for
hundreds OF men for at least two years. In
addition it is realized that the assembling
of the construction force will recreate
conditions resembling those during the
war.
In connection with the canal develop
ment, efforts will be made TO have the
government repair the river banks along
the river and bay shore from New Castle,
south. Great areas of the country adj
Jacent to the bay are partially flooded.
Each high tide brings water upon the
land whose fertility had already prac-
tically been destroyed by the salt sea.
These banks IN many places have been
out for years, while others have broken
within the past two or three years. The
productiveness of this land, the owners
claim, will not be restored for several
years, even with the aid of enormous
quantities of fertilizers.
Canal development is causing scores of
men, who each year at this time drift
away to work in other localities, to remain
at home There will be no labor shortage
10 hold up the work, once it is actually
started, it is said. Many residents feel
that boom period is certain to come.
1t is generally believed that no opposi-
tion will develop In the United States
Senate to the plan to go ahead with the
canal work regardless of the fact that the
actual cost of the development will be
more than 40 per cent higher than the
estimated cost. The feeling is that the
longer the work is delayed the greater will
be the cost
Everyone is ready to dig In as soon
as the word comes from Washington.
According to estimates made by the gov
ernment engineers IT will be at least two
years before the heavy preliminary work
can be completed How long it will take
TO put the finishing touches to the job

With equal tru t h
could this statement be
turned the other way,
to say that this Store,
at all times interesting
to lovers Of music, is
made doubly so in
March because of the
Festivals of Music,
planned for their en-
joyment, and thrown
open to them freely!
Wonderfully apprec-
iative, are these musi-
cal people; and wonder
fully attached to this
old Store which loves
the music lovers, and
loves music, and has
fostered and encour-
aged this great art in
ways which, when first
adopted, were absolute
ly without parallel or
precedent in the history
Of conducting a mer-
chantile establishment.
It is with unfeigned
satisfaction that we
look back along the
years during which, not
merely in March, but
straight through the
seasons, the Store has
welcomed, entertained
and substantially served
the people of musical
tastes in Philadelphia
and the adjacent cities.

Pianos

are in one sense like the
w am a ker Great
Organ--so familiar a
feature of our daily liv-
ing that they are ac-
cepted without refec-
ton.
When the Wanamak-
er Piano Store was es-
tablished, twenty-one
years ago, it awakened
not only reflection, but
well-nigh ridicule.
'fWell, what will they
do ne1t2" some people
said. And others, with
great positiveness:
"It can't be done
Just what was said,
a generation further
back, of the opening of

But it was done, ''it"
being the application
of Wanamaker princi-
pies to the business of
retail piano selling,
which at that time was
ethically at skies and
sevens.
The first day, not a
single piano was sold.
But there came a sim
gle day in which 295

And today, the first
place to which every
body in search of a

instinct is the hand

and show-rooms located
on the Second Floor of
the Wanamaker Store,
which offer a choice of
over 80 styles in pianos,

Great Organ

located in the Grand
Court, and heard daily
by thousands Of per-
sons, is a wonder to
which every one, even
we in this Store, have
become accustomed, but
none the less is it a
wonder.
The largest organ in the
world, it was installed in
the largest Store in the
world, to be the musical
soul Of the place, and has
fulfilled its destiny.
The original organ was
erected at the st. Louis Ex-
position in 1904, and after
being brought here was
used in the building of the
great Wanamaker organ,
on a scale 80 per cent larg-
er.
It's deep and splendid
voice is to be heard in the
Store on all business days,
at the opening and closing
hours, and usually at mid
day, while at special sea-

Christmas, Easter and
the great patriotic holidays,

DEMOCRATS OPEN CAMPAIGN

Opening guns of the Democratic
campaign were fired in Yuma Mon
day with a big midday meeting in
Gadsden, another meeting in Somer-
ton at three o'clock, and the final
meeting in the Yuma theater Monday
night. Congressman Carl Hayden,
Nit Simms, candidate for governor of
Arizona, Wiley E. Jones, who is run
ming for reelection to the office Of
attorney general, r. r. Earhart, for
state treasurer, and e. A. Hughes,
candidate for tax commissioner, were
the speakers at the meeting, and were
given an enthusiastic welcome thru
out the county.
The evening meeting at Yuma was
the best attended of any political
gathering ever held in the city. Con-
gressman Hayden and Attorney Gen
eral Jones made the principal speech
es of the program, the former dis
cussing national issues, predicting
the election of Cox and Roosevelt and
the triumphant reelection of u. S..
Senator Mark Smith, while the lat
ter literally flayed Gov. Campbell on
his state land record. Both speeches
were enthusiastically applauded, At
torney General Jones' talk being es-
pecially hailed with delight by the big
audience, many of whom had formerly
been adhefents of the governor.
During Nit Simms' stay in Yuma,
he spent much of his time with his
former primary opponent, State
Senator Mulford Winsor, who has
promised his most cordial and loyal
support not only to Simms but to the
whole democratic state ticket.
The distinguished visitors made a
most favorable impression on the
Yuma citizens, who were free in their
predictions the entire democratic
ticket will sweep Yuma county any
where from 1900 to 1000 votes major
ity. This prophesy is borne out by
figures, for the county great register
shows 5000 democrats recorded, to
less than 800 republicans. Since the
primary election, an even hundred
voters have added their names to the
great register, everyone Of whom went
On record as a democrat. This is pro-
bably the most remarkable registra-
tion ever shown in any county of the
state, and clearly indicates the trend
of political opinion in Yuma county.

Why should the Republican leaders

Why should the Republican leaders
pretend to be shocked by Governor
Cox's charge that they are raising
an enormous campaign fund to buy
the Presidency? They were not
shocked when Senator Newberry was
convicted and sentenced to ten years
in the penitentiary on the charge of
spending a fortune in his campaign; !;
they neither asked him to resign nor
threw him out of the senate. They
were not shocked at the millions spent
in primary campaigns of General
Wood and Governor Lowden, but this
latter was a moral and not a legal Of
fense. Only when the offense charged
might come within the province of the
criminal courts do they seem to dis
play a pretense Of resentment. What
has become of the claim that the G.
o. P. is "the party Of great moral
ideas?"

The Northern Arizona Leader,
one OF the most prominent democra-
tic newspapers of Arizona, has is
sued challenge to the republicans,
which should bring forth some very
interesting replies. The challenge
consists of three questions, which
Governor Campbell is asked to ex-
plain, at the first meeting of the re-
publicans in Coconino county, to be
held in Flagstaff Tuesday evening.
The questions are these: What is
your reason for not vetoing the land
lease law bill which you are now talk
ing against? Why were the Azbill
brothers paroled or let out on honor
from the state prison? These men,
convicted in Coconino county of cold
blood murder, are now out and fled
to parts unknown. Why were Sickles
and Bailey, slayers of Ed Duffy, the
Williams merchant, not more careful
ly guarded? They were put in the
road camp and one got killed while
attempting to escape, while tthe other
made complete get away. Both the
Azbills and Bailey and Sickles were
sentenced to serve life terms for mur-
ders committed in Coconino county
within the past three years.

would never have been on the Tax
Commission. It needs to be cured,
not destroyed. I have no excuse to
offer, no charges to make, no sores to
nurse, and no explanation to give.
Vox Populi Vox Del.
I am satisfied with my opportunity
had On the Tax Commission. I have
held the trust sacred and given per-
haps the best nine years of my life to
it. l believe the work of the Tax
Commission in bringing about equali-
ing nearly nine hundred million dol
lars Of assessed valuation, thus plac-
ing it ahead Of seventeen other states,
has done more than any other agency
in putting Arizona, alone, among all
the states in evolution, and develop
mont during the nine years of the
Commissions work.
! am glad to thank my friends
throughout the state for their loyal
me, friends are my life's jewels. I
ask in all sincerity to support the
successful candidates, Mr.. Luke and
Mr.. Hughes. We went into the pri-
maries. We must abide by them. All
the candidates for the Tax Commits
sion are gentlemen. They conducted
campaign of the highest order. The
Democrats have nominated these two
I will be glad to leave the trust in
their keeping. I say this too, with a
light heart because I know that de-
feat is sometimes better than victory.
II any of my friends cannot feel quite
this way, then I will offer the lines
written on some such occasion as
this:
What If the clouds some little
moment hid the blue sky where morn
appears,
What if the sun which tints them
crimson rises to light the coming
years."
l also believe that this work will
make itself felt to the advantage Of
Arizona for many years to come. My
connection with this work is record
enough for while at least.
To the Assessors of Arizona whom
have continually exhorted to fear
less discharge of their duties, I wish
to adjure not to be cast down. I hope
no assessor will weaken in the per-
formance of his duty, through fear of
defeat induced by my reverse. I see
nothing in that result to change my
belief often expressed to them. But
If there were, l wish them to remem-
Der that no public job is worth any
consideration, it is the public trust.
So I say to them, Keep your faces
in the wind, stay put, and make a re-
cord you will be proud to pass on
to your children"
The Winslow mail., 1920-10-08

One of the most significant signs
Of the campaign is found in the let
ters newspapers print from the read
ers which show a general trend of
Independent sentiment toward Cox and
Roosevelt, but no Independent Demo-
cratic sentiment toward Harding and
Coolidge. Every day the Democratic
papers contain letters from readers
announcing that they are Republicans
but intend to vote for Governor Cox
and Mr.. Roosevelt, and similar let
ters frequently appear in Republican
newspapers, which probably receive
many more of the kind than they
print.
