about prohibiting the sale of war sup
plies to one or both belligerents in a
war 1t is quite another thing to make
such prohibition effective.
What are war supplies? Canada has
announced that she will not dump her
wheat reserves on the market but will
hold them in the expectation of high
prices, because of this war Wheat is
war supply no less than bullets or
gunpowder.
We earnestly hope that our nation
will not become involved in any way
that will further strain our relations
with Italy and the rest Of the wofsd,'
but we believe it would be in the in
terest of every American for our State
Department to lend all the moral sup
port possible to the efforts which the
other great nations are making TO
avert this silly and senseless war

ously pulling the county officials
whose duty it is to handle such prob
lens.
History is repeating itself right here
in Lincoln county. Whenever gov
eminent starts taking care of the poor
sand improvident with free and easy
hand, there is an ever-increasing de-
mand from constantly growing num-
Der for such assistance.
Perhaps it has been necessary to ex-
tend much assistance during the abb
normal times of the past few years,
but the time is approaching rapidly
when conditions are going to force the
drastic curtailment of much of that
assistance And that which will force
that curtailnent will be lack of money
and no source from which to obtain
any more funds for such purpose.

THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL IS
BEING SCRAPED.

This newspaper is in receipt of a
circular letter sent 70 all editors in
Montana by state department at
Helena The letter says, in part.
Eve are approaching what is re-
garded by many as critical situation.
The attempt is to be made on No
vember / to discontinue the dole, the
giving of relief to the able bodied men
and women of the nation, which has
been going on for some years through
federal, state and county agencies To
take the place of it is the gigantic at
tempt to substitute employment for all
unemployed who are able to work
The burden of the care of those not
able to make their own living is to
be shifted once more to the counties
and local governments.
That is an interesting pronounce
ment 1t brings forward some impor
tant cogitations.
Let's look al the situation from the
local standpoint
The poor fund in Lincoln county is
exhausted and it will be necessary 10
issue emergency warrants. Steps to
do this in the sum Of $4,000 have al
ready been taken The county is max
ing the full levy for poor purposes al
lowed by law, 6 mills In addition for
the past year or two, there has been
levied mills for debt reduction"
purposes. The money realized from
that mill levy has also been used up
in retiring warrants issued for poor
fund purposes In other words, the
county has, in effect, been levying s
mills per year for poor purposes, and
still that isn't enough
What is going to be done about it?
How are the ever-growing numbers of
poor people relying on the county for
support to be taken, care of?
Here are some more interesting fig
ures.
Last month the county paid out Of
its poor fund over $4,000. Officials at
the court house state the average OF
poor fund expenditures will be more
than $1,000 per month That means
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year spent

THE PAY OFF is INEVITABLE.

trends, says in recent article:

quarter of the fiscal year, however,
reveals that spending has reached the
highest level in our peacetime history
There is only one. way that a gov

by means of either direct or indirect
taxation Some day the American
people will have to pay the debts that
are now being incurred, and that pay

WAR TOUCHES US ALL.

Nothing could more effectively de-
monstrate to everybody the fact that
war or even the threat of war involv-
ing one OF the major Western nations,
touches the interest of every other ma
ton and of all Of their people than the
excitement and concern now being ex-
hibited in all of the worlds capitals
over the questions which have been
raised by the advance Of Italy upon
Ethiopia.
Italy is more than 5000 miles from
the United States and Ethiopia is still
farther away, yet the question Of our
own neutrality and Of what our Gov
eminent should do toward cooperating

: AS A MAN THINKS

Observance of certain notable days
should remind us of the obligations
which those days suggest. Nothing
Is more important than the focusing
of attention On the needs of our world.
1t is highly important that people
think, think seriously, think Alright,
and that their thinking shall prompt
actions and give color to their days.
The popular form of government is
that in which people do their own
thinking, elect their own officials and
crystalize the sentiment that makes the
laws. But we too much and too often
emphasize thinking en-masse. 1t is
splendid if we can have the majorities
tor ushering in every needed reform
But many reform is obtained through
an invincible personality-one person
doing and saying what he thinks is
right and standing by his guns
though the heavens fall
AS man thinks, SO is he; so is his
neighborhood; SO is his community.
so is his nation One man has often
set in operation train of influences
that never spent their force until The
desired reform was won.
The Wisest man is he who changes
his mind and does different thinking
today from that of yesterday. 1t is not
only important that we have firm con-
victions, but it is equally important
that we have reasons for our convic-
tons. Many person, to take his word
for it, does not know why he belongs
to certain church or votes a certain
ticket He has never thought through
to its logical conclusion the philosophy
to which he subscribes.
As a man thinketh. SO does a nation
think. As a nation thinks. so is it, The
nations Of the world thought for years
IN terms of militarisn, commercial
rivalry, secret treaties, jealousy, sus-
picion. and intrigue, The most de-
structive war the world has vet known
seemed necessary in order to change
the thinking Of the world
Now our civic responsibility and
humanitarian obligations tell us that
we must think in terms of arbitration.
love, service and universal peace.
Let Us continue to change our think
ing. 1t is time eur thoughts laaped
from ornaments to the personal needs
Of man. The unemployed, seshe tired.
the hungry the illiterate must be
helped and saved Crime must be
overpowered Children must be given
the right TO live the best Of lives.

concrete is poured on the bed of the
bridge just where it is wanted. Then
large scraper is used to level it. A
patch, So feet long, is poured at a
time, and then the same distance is
skipped and another portion So feet
long, is poured. When these two
are dry and set the middle one is
poured.
Every LOG feet large steel beam is
placed running across the structure.
The concrete has a network of rein
forced bars and the men placing these
bars in position are one form ahead of
the mixer.
The concrete is now not far from
the draw, but when this is reached the
mixer has to retrace it's steps and pour
the concrete for the foot path on the
south side of the bridge. None of this
has been poured as yet, but the Shout
der on the north side is mostly poured
as far as the floor.
The draw is being built alongside
the bridge even to the concrete floor

NOTABLES WILL INSPECT
C. & ID. CANAL THIS WEEK

The Army district engineer at Phila-
delphia has extended an invitation to
Senator Copeland (Dem., N. w. chair
man of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee; Senator Radcliffe and other
members of the committee to make an
inspection of the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal, slated for conversion into
a deep sea waterway at cost of $12,-
100000.
The weekend of May "a was set for
the visit. 1t was pointed out that the
trip would give members of the COM
mittee an opportunity to gather first
hand information on the undertaking
The district engineers office at
Philadelphia has already completed
plans for increasing the width of the
canal to $50 feet and the depth to ~
feet to make the waterway available
for deep draft vessels. This, it is
contended, would save shipping inter-
ests approximately 100000 annual
ly.
1t was explained that the trip could
start and end at Baltimore and the
inspection steamer Vidette would be
used. The conversion of the canal has
been approved by President Roosevelt

MNCH ACTIVITY ON
NEW RIVER BRIDGE

While very little is seen in the way
of progress on the Talbot end of the
new bridge connecting Talbot with
Dorchester below Trappe, there is
much activity on the Dorchester side.
Two shifts of workmen are busy pour
ing concrete and for half mile one
can walk out on the bridge on solid
concrete roadway that oloks and feels
solid and secure.
The two shifts are working six
hours day, five days week, for
total of thirty hours. No work is
done Saturdays unless rain interferes
during the rest of the week when the
lost time is then made up.

barge and from this mixer the mixed

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
DREDGING CONTRACT FOR
c. & ID. CANAL APPROVED

Major General Edward M. Markham
chief of army engineers, has approx
ed contract with the American bred
cling Company, of Philadelphia, for
dredging work in the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, amounting to $345, :
44O.
The Secretary of War few weeks
ago approved the allotment OF $780,
900 for maintenance of work in the
canal, to maintain the authorized
depth of twelve feet. At that time
the War Department announced that
maintenance of the authorized depth
was considered important, in view OF
the fact it is proposed to convert the
canal into deep-sea waterway.
The improvement of the canal, by
increasing the width to $50 feet and
it's depth to 81 feet, has been urged
by shipping interests for many years.
The Improvement has been approved
by the Secretary of War, chief of
army engineers, the Rivers and har-
bors Committee of the House and all
agencies of the Government.
The cost of the conversion program
has been estimated by army engineers
at $12,5OO,OOO. President Roosevelt
also has given his approval.

RAIL ROADS CARRYING
MORE BERRY SHIPMENTS

The 1885 berry crop has started
swinging back to rail movement with
prices higher than during several pre-
vious seasons, the peak price having
been $3.50 per crate in Virginia last
week. K. R. Vought, superintendent
of the Delmarva Division of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, announced that ar
engagements have been set up for CO.
ordinated service whereby berries
from Virginia, Maryland and Della
ware will be moved either in freight
carload lots or in less carload lots by
express. Schedules for either service
will place the berries at the northern
markets "a hours or less in ample
time for market hours. Rates for
this service are said to be very at
tractive.
Some produce dealers and buyers
are advising shippers to ship by rail
as berries moving under refrigeration
arrive in better condition and COM
mand prices averaging two cents per
quart higher than those arriving by
truck.

times in the Jersey City ball grounds

the boats every opportunity to pass

struction.

DRAWS TO CLOSE
Whitmore's Testimony to
End Military Probe of
Magazine Shooting.

A general court-martial trying Ma
rine Pvt. John F. Whitmore on
charges of involuntary manslaughter
was expected to adjourn today after
testimony by the defendant.
Whitmore is charged with the fatal
shooting September 81 of John D.
Moriarty. 24-year-old Government
Printing Office employe. who allegedly
had attempted to force his way into
the Bellevue Magazine, base of secret
Government operations.
Lieut.. George Wright, U. S. NJ, who
assisted in drawing up the regulations
pertaining to the use of a pistol by
a Marine guard on duty at the maga-
zine, testified yesterday that in his
opinion forceable entrance into the
grounds would constitute a felony.
Under the regulations. a guard is
permitted to use his pistol in felony
cases.
Previous testimony brought out that
Moriarty's automobile failed to stop at
a signal from Whitmore, striking the
gate and also injuring the Marine
guards leg.
Whitmore was exonerated of blame
in the fatal shooting by a coroner's
jury last month.
Sergt. Thomas Dryden said today
in answer to a question that he would
consider a guard justified in using his
gun in the case where an automobile
forced its way into the grounds, strik-
ing the gate and the sentry.
Capt. William E. Maxwell and Lieut..
Col. Leo Atrmle, both of the Marine
Corps, are acting as judge advocate
and defense counsel, respectively.
Whitmore was to take the stand
after the noon recess. Findings and
Judgment of the court-martial will be
sent Secretary of the Navy Swanson
probably the middle of next week.
Arguments of the defense and prose-
cution are expected to be presented to-
morrow morning.
