The Bankers Will
Not Succeed

And just now with the
municipality of New York
in need of money, because
economic conditions brought
on by the stupidities of the
economic policies of the Ad-
ministration and the refusal
of the Federal Government
to furnish work or food to
prevent the starving of the
unemployed, thereby putting
that burden on local treas
uries, we find the bankers
treating the peoples gov
ernment as a back door beg
gar and attempting to die
tate the increasing by Gov
ernment of the subway fare
on the people.
These bankers are in
terested in the thing fl
nancially. They may feel
that they are now in posi-
tion to dictate to the city
administration the betrayal
of the people. They will
not succeed.
We merely call attention
to the fact that certain kinds
of business finds government
its business on occasion.

Government Interferes
With Business

We hear much these days
about there being a complete
separation between Govern
ment and business, and many
bitter complaints because
Government interferes with
business. 1t does. Govern
ment has certain rules re-
garding banking designed to
protect the interest of the
public, and about. railroads
to protect the public there,
and about monopoly to pre-
vent the wholesale robbing
Of the people.
And any Government that
would not interest itself in
these things would not be fit
to live.
But it appears that those
who talk the loudest against
Government and business
having any connection are
most anxious for Govern
ment actively, and through
political action, to serve the
ends of business.
just now the people are in
terested in knowing to what
extent some business has
used Government for the
Fleeing Of the people.

DEEPER CANAL
DATA COMPLETE
Delaware & Chesapeake Can
al To Be Converted Into
a 25-FoOt Waterway
TWO LOCKS CONSIDERED

The government is proceeding to
secure complete data before the
recommendation to convert the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
into a twenty-five foot waterway
is made by the u. S. Engineers to
Congress. For some months past
surveying parties have been work
ing on the canal between the Della
ware river and the Chesapeake
Bay and this data has been assem-
bled in detail and forwarded to
Washington. Now, the Gall Com
pany of Baltimore, Nd, is engaged
in making borings just east of
Chesapeake City, on either side Of
the canal and in the canal, to
depth of so feet, to accurately de-
termine the exact nature of the
soil at that depth. The purpose Of
these borings to that depth arises
from the fact that if the twenty
five-foot waterway is approved by
Congress, it is believed that it will
be necessary to build two locks,
one at Chesapeake City, and the
other east of the railroad bridge,
near Lorewood Grove. If the locks
are constructed it will be neces-
sary to sing the foundations TO a
depth of so feet. When the pres
ent twelve foot sea-level canal was
constructed, the old locks were
done away with and the canal has
been operated satisfactorily with
out them. With a 25 fot channel,
however, it is said that the flow
of water would be too swift, con-
sidering the drop of about Is feet
between Chesapeake City and
where the canal flows into the Del
aware river. Two locks one at the
western end of the canal and the
other about the halfway mark, are
considered necessary for the %
foot depth. 1t is also reported
that the government has recently
purchased the marsh adjacent to
the canal between Delaware City
and StGeorges, owned by Cornelius
Mundy, of Wilmington. This
makes the second stretch of
marshland bordering the canal
that has been purchased by the
government recently. If the 20
foot canal is authorized there will
be much dredging necessary and a
considerable area of land along the
canal will be necessary for a spoil
area where the mud dug from the
waterway may be placed.

The expected developments

The expected developments in the police war on strong arm
 ard muscle men" in the gambling racket in Waterbury failed to ma terialfze to-day owing to the fact that two of the principal defend ants requested continuance Of their cases. No objection was made to the petition by the state. The accused are John J. Mccarthy. 27, of 27 Coombs street, Springfield,
 Mass, and Louis DeCristoforo, 2S. of 993 South Main street, this city. They were without counsel this morning, but their desire for a postponement of trial was made known to Judge T. V. Meyer oy Prosecuting Attorney Charles erty under bonds of $500 each furnished by Paul Summa, former deputy sheriff. i,
 The Character recommendation
 of Mccarthy as furnished by the Springfield police caused consider able interest in to-day's hearing. Mccarthy was described as a "strong arm" man who would do anything from trespass to assault with dangerous weapons. when racketeers are in trouble Mccarthy is the one who.is supposed to get trough" with the customers or rival "chiselers'', according to the Bay State authorities.
 The police apparently are en- deayoring to link DeCristoforo ana Mccarthy with Tmerigo DiStlso oi River street, who was arrested iast Friday noon hour when collectlng slips from customers while stand ing in the doorway of an East Maih street store, not twenty-five yarus from Exchange place. DiStiso was scheduled for trial yesterday morn ing, but at the request of his couh- sel, Attorney Frank Summa. .ne case went over until october Iotn. While discussing this particular cage. Judge Meyer remarked that the whole gang should be rounoeo- up. tho ra. marks were made the emergency souhd trailed Mccarthy and ms companion and arrested them. Tn an nutomobile standing closely the nolice found a quantity of policy sJips. bank deposit slips, plays, nannes and addresses of local ..a agents." a computing machine ana other accessories.

Washington-It would seem that the trend of the presidential campaign is so compeltely in the direction of the democratic nomi- nees that there is no longer any serious differences of opinion among newspaper observers or pol iticians, except those of the latter who are beholden to the Hoover administration for jobs or special favors or other means of liveli- hood. Democratic leaders from Chairman Farley down have not hesitated to claim sweeping vic- tory for Governor Roosevelt and his running mate, Speaker Garner, based upon an intimate knowl edge of conditions in every section of the country. Governor Roosevelt, himself. as reported in the press from time to time, has expressed his belief that he would receive the electoral votes of states in which he has had the opportunity to meet and address the people.
 It must be gratifying therefore to the managers of Governor Roosevelt's campaign to find con- firmation in the surveys made by widely--known Washington corres- pondents. in various section, some of whom have never. displayed
 other than friendliness towards Mir Hoover and his administration.
 One of these, David Lawrence, has recently visited New England. In his article dated Boston. sum- ming up his impressions, MT Law renee writes:
 "New England is ordinarily a republican stronghold. It looks as If 1t would go democratic this year unless in the next eight weeks (six weeks now) the republicans can make an argument sufficiently con vincing to hold the republicans in line.." .," Elsewhere in the article MT Law, renee says: -
 "Republican leaders privately express. their concern. They say that unless some way can be found to overcome the resentment. the election Is lost to them,
 The correspondent tells of the hopefulness of these leaders. that
 business conditions may >show tm- proyement between now and cleo ton, but adds, 'ftis realized that this cannot possibly affect all those who have madc up theii mind to vote the democratic ticket"
 Among Washington correspon-
 dents who have been personally in- innate with President Hoover is
 the. veteran Mark Sulliyan--a
 member of MT Hoover's medicine ball cabinet and a frequent week end guest at the republican camp.
 In his tour of the west. MT Sulli-
 van has now reached Idaho. Writ ing from the capitol of Mir Be-
 rah's baliwick, MT Sullivan says:
 Every competent judge agrees that Idaho at this time Is either
 democratic or else will be very close" l
 In this connection. 1t is recalled that Mir Sullivan conservatively an- nounced prior to the Maine election that it was inconceivable that Maine would go democratic, al- though he foresaw democratic gains there. By some prognosticators. Idaho has been placed in the doubtful column. MT Sulivan's de- cIaration that 1t Is "either demo-
 cratic. or else very close" there- fore is of added importance.
