NO EXCUSE

THE congress has given repeated evidence
L it will not be bound by the economy pro
gram President ROOSEVELT has urged upon it.
Large additions have been made to the agrl'
cultural and other appropriations, In spite OF
the Presidents appeal for less spending. Now
comes increases for the CCC and the NYA.
Both deserve all the encouragement and
help congress can give them. They are ac-
complishing great things for the youth OF
the nation, and turning out tralnees by the
thousands yearly we'll equipped to take up the
burden of adult productiveness. There can be
no Just quarrel with the appropriations the
congress has fixed for them, providing, OF
course, it is known that the totals are the
least they can efficiently function with.
But. with congress in the mood to spend
what it considers necessary for the good OF
the nation, Notwithstanding the budget pro-
posals of the President and the cry for econ
omy Of many of its own members, why should
Senator BAILEY be so tlmorous about gettlng
money for Wilmington's and North Cardinals
river and harbor needs? Surely the money
required for essential improvements here is
not OUT OIL llu0 Will Lue ulOoo SoA6A wv
Nor could the President well claim that the
appropriation would involve an unnecessary
drain upon the treasury, as the work would
strengthen the national defense.
Rivers and harbors, as providing means for
the smooth flow of supplies, are a part OF
the first line of defense. They must be kept
at a high level of efficiency, if the nation
is to function at par. And it has been estab-
lished to the satisfaction of war department
that this states rivers and harbors
need the proposed work to bring them to par.
AS chairman of the committee,
Senator BAILEY is in position to insist that
the Wilmington and the North Carolina prof.
ects are included in any bill. 1t is hoped that
he will not let the third year go by without
passage of a rivers and harbors bill.

CHILDREN

Taking a hint from the city's campaign for
traffic law observance, the sheriff's deputies
have cautioned motorists to reduce speed in
passing county schools.
They say that the law requiring all vehicles
to travel at Is or fewer miles an hour at
schools is flagrantly violated, despite the
presence Of caution signals at every school,
and cite Sunset Park as an example. There,
they declare, motorists speed past the school
without regard to the law or the safety of
children. The offense is the more regrettable
because, the deputies contend, it is commit
ted by residents of the district, many of whom
probably have children in the school.
It it inconceivable that the situation there,
or at any other school, is the result of pre-.
meditated intention to jeopardize young lives.
It stems probably from heedlessness. But
this does not minimize the offense or lessen
the hazard.
If the only way to bring careless drivers
to time is by arrest, then let the arrests
start, and let them be accompanied with the
~severest punishment the law allows.
A few examples could not fail to restrain
others, and the safety of rural school children
be the better assured.

COSTOF CRIME

Dear Sir:
If Mr.. Roosevelt were to say tt
congress, Gentlemen: I shall re
quire SIS, 900, 000, 900 to run the new
deal agencies for the next :.
months, beginning July 1, 1910. L
you fail to appropriate this amount
I shall have to close my agencies
If he were to say this, those of the
congress who did not die from hear
failure, would suddenly become
deaf, dumb and blind f1om menta
excitement.
1t wouldn't surprise me a bit te
composed by certain members Of
the congress entitled "Mr Roosevelt
Upset the Budget" to the music Of
THE Lost Chord" The American
taxpayers are so often reminded by
these over-conscientious gentlemen
that their birthrights and those OF
their children have been sold by the
new deal through the spending of
such amount of money as sc bill
lions. What about the cost Of crime?
Why do not these same gentlemen
who are so eager to remind the
American taxpayers Of the large
amount of money expended by the
new deal during the last seven
years to save millions Of citizens
from hunger and want, also be as
eager to remind the taxpayers that
the cost Of crime amounts to $751;
600, 900, 900 a year. In other words
during the seven years spending by
the new deal to save the country
from a possible revolution, crime in
this country cost the American tax
payers 105 billions during the same
period.
Senator Robert R. Reynolds of
North Carolina spoke before the
senate on January 20, 1910, and re-
minded the higher house of the cost
Of crime. He pointed out that we
have too many of u w violators
without turning The land of the
free, and the home of the brave
into a nation where foreign Grimm
ais and undesirable aliens may
come to live and join hands with our
own criminals.
The senator is positive, and !
agree with him, that alien criminals
and undesirable aliens should be de-
ported to reduce the cost of crime.
The senator should also recommend
the purchase of an island to which
to send alien criminals when their
native country refuses to allow
their return; considering the com
munists, quite a colony could be
sent to such an island.

FORT FISHER PARK

The prospect of converting Fort Fisher into
a national memorial park is improved, fol
lowing an inspection trip to the site by the
advisory committee of the National Park
service.
The Rev. ANDREW J. HOWELL, chairman of
the New Hanover Historical commission, who,
with other members of the commission, enter
tanned the visitors at luncheon following their
investigations, reports that the only step still
to take is acceptance of title to the land
whereafter the park service will include it
among the reservations under it's jurisdiction.
This step is possible, and sets a definite goal
In as much as Fort Fisher is among the
prominent battle sites of the War Between
the States, and it's heroic defense marks a
high point in the South's defense, it is emf
nently proper that it enjoy equal care and
preservation with other memorable shrines
of that conflict.
The movement for conversion of the fort
into a national park has long hung fire. With
the encouragement it received from the dis
tinguished visitors on Tuesday, the county
commission will naturally redouble it's efforts
to complete its share in the program, that
Wilmington may raise the site of it's most
conspicuous participation in the war of the
SOS to a level more comparable with it's i'm
~portance than it has previously enjoyed.

THE LAW

Dear Sir:
7 have in an old scrap book, a
Clipping which was taken from a
widely circulated farm magazine
some ten or twelve years ago. A
case of a man hit by a truck while
"jaywalking," who sued the truck
owner and the court granted him
a SIT, 900 verdict. The truck owner
did not like the courts decision and
it was carried to the supreme court
of the United States which upheld
the lower courts decision with the
following ruling:
1.-THE streets belong to the pub
lie, pedestrians have the right
to walk on any part of the
street or roadway. Driving a car
is a privilege and may be re-
voked at any time; therefore, it
becomes incumbent upon the
driver Of any automobile to see
to it that he does not strike a
pedestrian"

EXTEND FRONT STREET

Two factors enter prominently into the pro
posal for extension of the River road. One is
that the road at present is exceedingly short,
giving but a glimpse of the river. The other
end at the south.
From Front street to a street now being
built in a new subdivision off Sunset Park,
the distance is short and not SO irregular
as to make the closing of the gap an expen.
sive or difficult undertaking. With this gap
closed, motorists would have smooth going
along a stretch of the river, and incidentally
an alternate route to the Carolina Beach
highway.
One obstacle is lacking in this project
which often interposes against similar under.
taklngs. The city OWNS the land needed.
Rights of way would not have to be obtained
across private property. All that is required
IS a crew of workers, a bit of engineering
and some material. If started now the job
could be done in time for summer vacation.
lists, and give Wilmington one more asset.
Of course, to serve it's highest destiny, a
river road should continue down the shore
and hook into the loop road along the sound.
But that is something to plan for in the flu.
ture. Let's make the start now by extending
Front street for the short lap needed to link
