BIGGER PLAN FOR d. & C. CANAL
Waterway Delegates At Portland,
Maine Urge Wider Stream


Deepening of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal to accommodate
ocean-going vessels and cooperative
action to prevent pollution of navi-
gable waters by oil burning ships are
being urged by the Delaware and
Maryland delegates at the annual con-
vention of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association now in session at
Portland, Me. The proposal for deep
ening the canal is not new to the as
sociation. 1t has been discussed at
previous conventions, and rivalry over
the development this and other water
ways has been keen. Last year the
proposed deepening of the st. Law
renee river overshadowed the local
project. The association cannot 90
further than advocacy of a plan and
use of it's influence with Congress,
from which must come appropriations.
The Federal government is interested
in the partial deepening of this water
way because it is link of the inland
defense system. With the Federal
government already committed to a
plan to deepen it from to 12 feet the
association is believed to be in an ad-
vantageous position to obtain Federal
approval of the bigger plan. The
move for cooperative action to halt
oil pollution through State and Fed
eral laws was started some weeks age
in Atlantic City, when municipal anC
other officials discussed the question
An association was formed to better
accomplish the work marked out anC

THE PROPHET OF POWER.


Benhadad sent Naaman to the King
His mistake was simple enough for
the throne was the highest thing in
Damascus and the prophets in the
house of Rimmon obeyed his will. But
in Israel it was different. Elijah had
clothed Ahab the Great with sack
cloth and publicly rebuked him for
disobeying the law. And Elisha was
a familiar name in the palace but he
took no orders in religion from a po-
litical prince, whose selfishness had
so blurred the vision of Elisha's God
that in the hour of crisis he had no
resource save the tearing of his man
tie. Piety is not always to be found
in palace. Height is not holiness,
though holiness may be in the height.
But Elisha was undismayed and his
quieting word claimed the confusion of
the court. He did not come. The King
knew where to find him and he was
ready to help if he were wanted. Ten

UP TO THE OPERATORS.

HE United Mine Workers have extended to
the coal operators an invitation to attend a
joint meeting with them in Cleveland, March End,
to discuss new wage scale BY this action the
miners have, for the time being, shifted the re-
sponsibility for strike directly to the shoulders
ot.the coal operators. 4
Since it is fact that both miners and operators
found joint agreement the most successful way
to handle wage questions for period extending
over the past twenty years. 1T looks to the man in
the street II the operators would do well to give
due consideration to the invitation extended by the
miners.
In view of the grave consequences which will
ensue should no agreement be reached it be-
hooyes each faction to exert every effort to avert
a strike. If the operators refuse to consider the
invitation extended by the miners, and strike
should follow, the responsibility will be placed by
the public squarely upon the coal operators who
refused to try in joint council to save the business
from such calamity. The people will await with
interest the decision Of the operators in regard to
the Cleveland meeting.

gratitied at It's beauty and its fine equipment for
work
There will be great Inspiration for excellent
scholarship in the new building The surroundings
there cannot help but reflect in an accession Of
enthusiasm both in teachers and pupils. The resi-
dents must be very proud Of this achievement
Each new high school building but marks atresh
the tremendous educational growth which has fea-
tured the past decade. There has not been year
in Fairmont during this period that has not given
to the city additional school buildings or improve
ments. The past year was. especially active and
the one TO come will add more valuable equip
ment. ~
At the Normal school, the dormitory, beautiful
and spacious building Is under way. the Fairmont
high school gym will be started at once according
to report and another beautiful building out on
the Country Club road is nearing completion.
While great sums are being expended and .addi-
ttonal buildings are constantly added yet the
growth but barely keeps pace with tho demand.
Education could well adopt slogan II Need" that
would be immeasurably appropriate.

ship, and is sure that the repayment will be an
hundred fold for the good OF the future OF their
