WANT BRIDGE PUT
in WORKING ORDER
CEDAR CREEK DRAWBRIDGE HAS BEEN
OUT OF ORDER FOR PAST S YEARS
TO VESSEL TRAFFIC.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
BY OWNERS OF MOTOR BOATS Who
DESIRE TO USE THAT STREAM TO
REACH SLAUGHTER BEACH.

For the past five years the bridge
over the canal at Cedar Beach, neal
Fort Salisbury, along the Delaware
Bay shore, has been out of service
Sc far as vessels passing through the
canal are concerned. The bridge was
removed by order of the U. S. Gov
ernment, during the period of build
ing the fort, and it was replaced by a
temporary structure for travel to and
from the bayshore at Cedar Beach. It
is now impossible to open the draw,
and nothing larger than a boat pro-
PEELED by oars, can pass under the
br1dge-hence the people who are in
terested in the canneries, shipment of
grain, or reaching Slaughter Beach
with motor boats, are. asking why
navigation of the canal is practically
closed.
Colonel Earl I. Brown, OF the Corps
of Engineers, who has charge of the
department in which this bridge is To-
Gated, has been appealed to by citi-
zens who have motor boats and de-
sire to use them to reach Slaughter
Beach, to know why navigation is
closed on the canal. He has address,
ed the county engineer and levy court
by letter as follows:
June 2Srd, 1922.
County Engineer Sussex County,
Georgetown, Del.
Dear Sir-Enclosed please find a
copy Of complaint as to the imprac-
ticability of operating the draw span
in the bridge over Cedar Greek, near
Fort Salisbury, Del.
You are requested to investigate
this matter and promptly report exist
ing conditions as to the possibility of
operating the draw span, together
with statement as to whether or not
a bridge tender is employed to oper-
ate this bridge, and after presenting
the matter to the Levy Court, to ad-
wise me what measures that body pro-
poses to correct the existing difficulty.
Respectfully,
EARL I. BROWN,
COlOne Corps of Engineers.
This beach is largely used by the
fishermen and persons going to and
from the Mispillion River mouth-but
previous to the closing of navigation
there was a considerable volumn of
traffic up and down the canal, in ship
ment of canned goods, grain and gen.
eral country produce. The people of !
Slaughter Neck are inconvenienced !
most Of all-but the summer colony
1t Slaughter Beach shore resort, who !
must leave their motor boats expos
I'd to the open sea storms are COM
of being deprived of this safe
larbor for their craft. The next move
will be by the Levy Court by reply to
he letters to the county engineer.

U. S. Postal Receipts Show
Decided Business Improvement

zone indication of the improvement
of business" says Postmaster Gener-
al Hubert Work, els the postal re-
ceipts, which began last November to
show steady increase. For the sue
ceeding months the gain over the cor
responding period of the previous
year has been around six per cent,
until May, when is jumped to IA per
cent. The United States Stamped En-
velope Agency on June 2, 1922, reach
ed the high water mark in production
when the output was 11,636,00O enve-
lopes. For six consecutive weeks just
previous to that date an average of
100000 envelopes were produced

ness man, who uses the greater num-
ber of these envelopes, is preparing
to share in the tremendous business

pensers Of opium or any of it's deriv-

July LIST, 1922" Collector of Internal
Revenue John w. Herring stated to-
day. This Office cautions druggists
and physicians, especially, in regard
to acquaintance with this special tax
in order to avoid the necessity Of as
serting any or all of the severe penal
ties provided in the Revenue Act of
1921. AS this is the only special tax
due by the end of June, it has been
very easily overlooked in the past,
resulting in many penalties. Informa-
ton should be requested at once, if
the provisions are not understood.

GOVERNMENT APPEALS
TO THE TRUSTS.

The public has recently been treat
ed to the spectacle of the magnates
of the Steel Trust and the Railroad
Trust dining at the White House and
respectively hearing the Presidents
plean to reduce the hours of labor in
the steel industry and to lower the
freight rates.
To what extent the government is
to be cnducted by appealing to the
hearts of the trusts through the sto-
machs of their representatives is not
yet known, but it is suggested here
that the plan offers unlimited oppor-
tunities. Perhaps the Oil Trust I'M
der the stimulus of a proper menu
can be induced to relinquish its grab
of the Naval Oil Reserves, or the
Lumber Trust give up its designs
upon the National forestry, or the
Coal Trust upon the coal lands of the
government. Perhaps Mr.. Melons
Aluminium Trust will agree not to
have the tariff raised upon pro
duct on which it already has mo-
nopoly. The palate of the Sugar
Trust may be appealed to with some
sweet CONNECTION which will soften
the heart of that trust toward the
users of sugar, and SO on without
limit.
It was more or less of foregone
conclusion, with the Old Guard en-
trenched in the White House, that
we were to have a government OF
the Trusts, for the Trusts, by the
Trusts.
When the Wilson administration
went into office, Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo found represen-

tative of Wall street with a desk in
the Treasury building and threw him
out. Now our Financial and indus
trial magnates dine at the White
House as honored guests from whom
favors are sought.
But there is another suggested an
gle to these feasts. While the White
House dinner series is being held, the
fact is recalled that this is cam
paign year; that the Republican Ma
tional committee has been struggling
with a deficit and that the admins
tration being sadly in need of votes
will necessarily expect every Trust
to do it's duty in November.

The movements should be fostered
because when the people see and I'M
derstand the enormous benefits to be
reaped by Florida from the wise use
of this fund, they will be more than
willing to continue it by voluntarily
taxing themselves small mlllage
upon the dollar for a general publ
city fund to be used for the upbuild-
ing of the whole state.
To Mr.. Telfair Stockton, leading
citizen of Jacksonville, is due the
credit of conceiving the splendid idea
of raising this great publicity fund
and to him, also, is due the praise
for putting the project in motion. On
his own initiative and at his own eX-
pense he is laying the project before
the people of the state and he can be
depended upon to follow up the move
ment until it is an entire success

A BLOW TO NEYNOTER
WATSON.

Senator Caraway's expose of Har-
ry NJ. Daugherty's connection with
the Morse case by publishing in the
Congressional Record letter from
Daugherty to Morse and a photosta-
tic copy of the contract between
Daugherty, Morse and Fielder was a
severe blow to Senator James E.
Watson (Rep.) of Indiana, who had
rushed to the defense of Daugherty
denying that he (Daugherty) had
anything to do with getting Morse
out of the penitentiary and declaring
that he had received no fee for get
ting him out, although the contract
shows that Morse was to pay Daugh-
erty a retainer of $4,000, with ex-
penses not to evceed $1,000, and that
Fielder and Daugherty were to re-
ceive $4,000 in the event they Sc
cured an unconditional pardon OF
communication for Morse.
A letter purportlng to nave beer
written by Fielder, which Senator
Caraway also had read into the Re.
cord, stated that this amount Of
$4,000 had been paid, and that the
$4,000 had not yet been paid, al,
though according to the letter it was
to be split fifty-ffty between Fielder
and Daugherty.
Senator Watson availed himself OF
the privilege of being absent wher
Senator Caraway made his expose
although he was notified that the
matter was coming up. He may
however, have been busy preparing
his keynote speech for the Indiana
Republican convention on the 24th
list. AS a keynoter for Daugherty
Senator Watson, as shown by the
documentary exhibits, was long
way off the key, fact which must
have had discouraging effect upor
those who listened to his keynote
speech in the Indiana convention.

With Other Editors
/ PATRIOTIC FUND.

Public spirited citizens of Jackson
vile have started a movement to
raise fund of one hundred thousand
dollars a year for five years for the
purpose of creating publicity fund
through which the advantages and
the resources of Florida may be told
to the world. z
Large contributions to the fund
have been made by patriotic Florid
ians and an appeal is being publish
ed for still other patriotic citizens to
aid in the great work.
Miami's experience in advertising
ought to be great lesson to the rest
of the state. In all probability, this
city has raised through private sub
scription, almost entirely, five hun
bred thousand dollars, within the last
ten years and has spent it all in ad-
vertising Miami and Dade county.
| The returns from the advertising
have been intellectually profitable. 1t
was potent force in increasing the
city's population four hundred and
forty-one per cent in ten years. 1t
has brought many business houses
and industries to the city. 1t has
made it possible to secure deeper
water and it has placed Miami in
touch with hundreds of thousands of
people who otherwise would never
have heard of the city nor become
winter visitors here.
A publicity fund of one hundred
thousand dollars per year for five
years, used wisely and judicially, will
do for Florida what advertising has
done for Miami. 1t will double the
population within ten years. 1t will
more than double the farms in the
state. 1t twill double the amount of
i products sent out of the state. It
will bring hundreds of thousands of
visitors to the state every year. 1t
will hasten the day when the state
will be covered with hard surfaced
roads. 1t will help in completing the
drainage of the Everglades. 1t will
make Florida the fastest growing
state in the union.
