FIGHT SUSSEX ROAD ENGINEER
File Bill in Equity Against Robert C.
HILL to Stop His Salary

In an effort to dislodge Robert Clark
Hill from his position as road engi-
neer of Sussex county notice has been
served on the County Commissioners
by Deputy Attorney-General, Robert
G. Houston, counsel for Harry ]. AXE,
former Register in Chancery, that 4
bill in equity will be presented to
Chancellor j. o. Wolcott, Saturday, to
show cause why an injunction should
not be granted to stop Hills salary.
The bill claims that under a State law
none but a graduate of an engineer
ing school and one who has had two
years previous experience in road
work, can be appointed. Hill is a re-
cent graduate of the University of
Delaware and was recommended for
the post by the State Highway Com
mission. At present he is only the
acting engineer. Hills friends claim
the action is brought because of fail
ure to re-elect AXE as clerk in the en-
gineer's Office.

QUITS RAILROAD AFTER AZ YRS
Henry J. Van Gasken Goes on Pension
List of the PENNSYLVANIA

After AZ years of active service in
the employ of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, 35 of which were passed as
wreckmaster of the P. B. G. W. Rail-
road, Henry ]. Van Gasken, PIP East
Sixth street, has been placed on the
pension list of the road During that
time, he lost but one day from work.
During his 30 years as wreckmaster,
Mr.. Van Gasken supervised the clear
ing of wrecks in the long stretch be-
tween Jersey City and Quantico. Va.
He was born in Smyrna, Delaware,
April 16, 1855, son of the late John
Van Gasken and brother of Mrs. F. E.
Postles. He has been in the service
OF the railroad company since $780,
He worked, during his early life, at
the Hilles and Jones Company and the
Edge Moor Iron Works. One of the
most serious wrecks whose clearing
he supervised was that of a locomo-
tive and tank which plunged through
the draw at Laurel, June 6, 1904. when
George County, engineer was instant
ly killed. The twO-masted schooner,
Golden Gate, was passing through the
draw and the locomotive fell on and
sank it. Another difficult task con-
frOnted Mr.. Van Gasken when the
Baltimore tunnel caved in, trapping
portion of two express trains pass
ing through. Several days were re-
| quired to remove the debris and liber-
ate the trains so that traffic could be
resumed. Mr.. Van Gasken is a mem

Who Built Smyrna Streets, is Better
With blood TRANSMISSION necessary
to save his life, Magistrate Leonard
W. Lovett, 70 years old, a patient of
the Homeopathic hospital, Wilmington
was reported to be resting quietly late
last Wednesday night. Mr.. Lovett is
father of F. w. Lovett, who built
Smyrna's tarvia streets. Wednesday
when it was decided to perform the
TRANSMISSION, son l.. Delaware Lovett,
offered himself for the operation.
Squire Lovett has been i'll for some
time, but not until last week did it be-
come necessary to remove him to the
hospital. Magistrate Lovett is suffer-
ing with anaemia. When it was
learned early last week that trans
fusion of blood may be required, sew
eral sons and also his daughter-in-law,
Mrs. R. r. Lovett, came forward at
once and offered to submit to the

operation. After tests were made the
hospital authorities announced that
the blood of either Mrs. R. r. Lovett,
William j.. or L. Delaware Lovett
could be used to advantage. AS re-
suit some of the blood of L. Delaware
Lovett, the youngest son, was taken
Thursday. The TRANSMISSION will be
repeated in a few days if necessary.

CAN CONGRESS
Re HORNSWOGGLED?

american shippers must have a
daily contribution from all people"
seems to be a hobby of the present
administration as indicated by the
pressure being brought about to pass
favorable legislation for ship sub
sidy. Every step taken that is ia
vorable to such gift-giving shows
more plainly the strong grasp that
the buccaneering element has on the
purse strings of this country. Not
content with the present taxes being
paid by the people in an hundred diff
ferent ways there is foisted upon the
nation a still greater burden-and all
for the benefit of corporations whose
greed appears to be far in excess of
real business sagacity and enter
prise.

POLITENESS ALWAYS
PAYS GOOD DIVIDENDS

There is habit of the Palatka
Chamber of Commerce which is wor-
thy of favorable comment. This is
to drop into the cars of tourists pass
ing through the city card reading
like this:
"You are urged to register at the
Chamber of Commerce in the James
Hotel building. The register is di-
vided into sections for each state, so
that you may easily find who has
been here from your state, where
they went, and when. Palatka hopes
to interest you, and invites you to
put your proposition before the
Chamber of Commerce"
These cards are usually resultful in
securing the signatures of visitors.
sometimes they are not replied to at
once, and one of these latter cases
happened recently. One reply was
received from Jacksonville which
read as below:
"The enclosed card was left in my
auto three or four days ago, and
intended to call atonce, but was de-
layed in one of your stores untiA it
slipped my mind. | want to thank
you, however, for the kindly feeling
and the progressive spirit. That's
what warns a mans heart when he
| is away from home. I'll stop and
see you on my next trip
1t may be argued that. efforts Of
this sort are frequently wasted en-
ergy, but seldom is such case. The
visitor always likes to receive some
attention from the cities he visits
and the suggestions made on the caro-
are liable to bring some "almost ac-
quaintances' together. Trifles some,
times result in large results.

CLEMENCEAU TELLS
OF HIS MISSION

Great weight has been lifted from
the minds of the people by the asser-
ton made by Georges Clemenceau
that he did not come to America to
ask cancellation of the debt France
owes the United States. Had that
been his actual mission it is feared
that with his powers of impression
and President Harding's impetuosity
the debts of France might have been
wiped off-even had a special ses-
sion of congress been required to
bring about such result.
Clemenceau acknowledges the debt
France owes America. He believes
it should be paid. He assures this
country that it will be settled as soon
as the settlement can be made. But
he lays emphasis upon the fact that
while France suffered through to the
war to an unprecedented degree both
in loss of life, the destruction Of
property, and the vast amount of
money she was forced to pay to con-
tinue the war to the finish, a money
sum totaling 4OO,0O0,00O,00O gold
francs, Germany has paid in repara-
ton only 4,O0OOOO,000 gold francs;
merel VI per cent of the expense.
Precisely what steps will be sug-
gested by the famous Frenchman to
bring about more equitable basis of
settlement from Germany he has not
stated. That he has some plan in
view is certain. When the people of
this country are sufficiently awak-
ened to the unfairness of past actions
Clemenceau will give the solution of
the problem he came to PROFOUND.
And, no matter what that plan shall
be, the American people, and not a
few international bankers, must have
the right to their sentiments.
Palatka daily news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1919-1994, 1922-11-22

ton. so that the impatience Of the
people shall not be taxed. In most cit
les the time required by the commit
tee which must work free of all pay
is a month to prepare the proposed
charter; and even that time has been
cut short in many instances because
of the ease with which the work can
be done, now that the charters of so
many cities can be obtained and from
them the best can be compiled.
1t is believed that the work Of pre-
pairing a charter to submit to the
voters after its publication should be
FASTENED, as there is a cry for it. The
people wish to see the text Of the
document. Then, after scanning it.
there can be suggestions made for
sue Insight changes as may be DEEM
ed best by those best posted; and
after these shall be made the people
can adopt it. And from that moment,
with able, broad, fair-minded men as
candidates for the three or the five
commissioners, men in whom the en-
tire people have confidence, there
would b a change which would result
in lessening of the expenses of con-
Quoting the city, and there would be
greater amount of city improve
ment carried on at a less cost than
ever before.
Under the present plan Of govern
ment it cannot be denied that few
candidates, qualified to fill the sep
arate posts, care to take up the du-
ties of councilman. At the best it is
position that repays but lily the
work of the workers; and the official
honors are gladly laid down at the
first opportunity. With a body OF
three men, and one Of those the may
or, city may be governed far easier
and better results attained; and
when those three are aided by man
ager who looks after all details anc
devises ways of best carrying ou'
what the commissioners desire done
there results a government thai
shines out brilliantly for improve
Iment and for pride and for honesty
and intensity of purpose.

AGAIN THE DRAGON
THE SUBSIDY BILL

If any business man owned MN
that he was forced on account OF Ill
ness to sell at loss of twenty-elght
hundred dollars, would the members
of his family be particularly pleased
if the seller threw in some seven hun
dred and fifty dollars cash as an IN
ducement for the other fellow to
buy? 1t hardly looks that way IL
would appear that the loss on the
investment would be bad enough
without throwing away that extra
kale.
Yet precisely such a thing is being
done, or is being attempted, in con-
gress today, and there is a fear that
sufficient pressure can be brought
70 hear to make the attempt a sue
cess. The federal government mas
lost, roughly computed, some S2,SOO'-
100000 by the sale of vessels to va
rious combinations and syndicates. 1t
is little matter now just how or why
those vessels cost so much money;
all it matters is that the bottoms
were bought from the United States
for at least one-fourth of what 1t
would cost to reproduce them at the
present time and under the present
conditions.
If there was nothing to it only the
sale of boats to those who desired to
enter the shipping business the nue.
and cry over the great financial loss
would have soon died away. But the
worst aspect of the present situation
| is that the men who bought those
boats now desire a gift of money OF
huge proportions to encourage them
to create a marine service. Claiming
that, the boats cannot be run in COM
netition with boats of other nations
these grafters and professional
thieves ask still greater gifts. They
would rob the government without
the culver of a muscle, without the
winking of an eye.
And the wors tof it is that Presi-
dent Harding, once a respected news
paper publisher, has lent his aid tc
