New vigor, expressed in tanned

behind.
Cash contributions by Washing

fill the camp to capacity with
children needing fresh air, good
food and long hours of rest as aids
in their battle for health.

United States at the conference.

Against the transfer of all the
river and harbor improvement
work of the Federal Government
from the control of non-political
to that of a highly political execu-
tive department protests are de-
scending upon Congress from far
and near.
The proposal is neither new nor
original. 1t has long been a pet
scheme of railroad lobbyists and
political contractors in search Of
public contracts by means Of po-
litical influence.
Neither railroad lobbyists nor
political spoilsmen have been able
to dictate to the Corps of Engineers
of the United States Army about
river and harbor improvements.
The corps is composed in large
part of honor graduates of the
United States Military Academy at
West Point. They owe their as
signment to the Corps of Engineers
to the evaluation of their char
acter as made by authorities on
character, which Emerson defined
as nature in the highest form" I"
MAGNIFICENT JOB
The Army Engineers have in the
main been Loyalty supported by
the War Department in their re-
fusal to permit river and harbor
improvement work to be contami-
mated by the corruptionists of poll
tics or the hirelings of special
privilege. They have done a mag
nificent job for more than a cen
tury. This job they would not be
able to do half so well If they
were deprived Of the protection Of
the War Department and subject
ed to the tyrannical rule Of a po-
litically dominated department.
These are among the reasons
why the American Association of
Port Authorities, with members
from Maine to Texas and Wash
ington to Florida and Massachu-
sets to California, is appealing to
the Congress to leave the control
Of river and harbor work where it
has always been-with the Army
Engineers under the War Depart
ment.
In their appeal to the Congress
the representatives Of the ports OF
the country say this:
I'VE are familiar with the non
partisan, unbiased basis on which
river and harbOr improvement
work has been conducted. We
are familiar with the laws re-
Iating thereto and with their
enforcement by the Army Engi-
neers. We know from our own
experience that they are free
from political influence and
prejudice.
"If we would safeguard the
interests Of our ports we will
do our best to prevent the pro-
posed transfer to a department
of public works of river and
harbOr improvement work. From
the beginning Of the Govern

try by digging into the light Of
print the underground activities
of the walking delegates of spe-

exploitation of the railroads and

control of Federal improvements

The relationship of this improve

will probably justify special hear
