THE DIR. MOORE CASE

There was not one bit of evidence in
the case against Dr. Thomas G. Moore to
warrant the three judges, Lore, Pennewill
and Grubb giving another verdict than
what they did, when the jury was out
less than half an hour after all the wit
nesses had been heard. At least more
than half a dozen reputable men, mer-
chants in business in Smyrna swore that
they would not believe the prosecuting
witness on his oath; that his reputation
was bad in the community where he re-
sided. All the State witnesses testified
that DR.. Moore's character was good.
The Attorney General had weak case,
in fact, he had no case at all and the only
wonder is that he brought it against DR..
Moore. The writer heard the majority
of witnesses give in their testimony and
was surprised that the case was ever
pressed. The State Treasury is several
thousand dollars poorer by the action Of

CENSUS oF pEN1NsuLA rowNs

For some time rivalry existed
between the towns of Delaware and those
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland in re-
gard to their population, Dover and
Salisbury, were thought to be leaders and
the people of the latter town were
very much pleased by the recent estab-
lishment of a free mail delivery with
uniform carriers, the first on the penin-
sula south of Wilmington.
According to the recent census, how
ever, Cambridge is the largest town on
the peninsula, ranking next to Winning
ton, and having 5,747 population. The
second is Salisbury, with 4,247; New
Castle third, with 1880; Dover, $500;
Crisfeld, 3,165; Easton, 3,O74; Chester
town, 3,0oS; EIkton, 2,542; Milford,

BETTER PROVISIONS F6R PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

The new General Assembly OF Della
ware will probably take some iEnportan
action in regard to the financial stand o
public schoolsof Delaware. Owing to insult
ficiency of funds number of schools il
some of the larger towns were compelled
to close before the end of the school year
thus leaving the scholars four or five
months without school advantages, and
at season of the year when they could
easily attend. Although the annual ap-
preparation allowed to each district school,
by the State, is S2275, yet by naneuyering
on the part of some legislators, this has
been so changed that some schools receive
double apportionment, while others
suffered. This is done by legislator
who introduces bill to divide certain
districts, and then, later in the session,
introducing another, combining the di-,
vided districts. By this means some
schools now receive 81 per capita for it's
pupils, instead Of 81. so.
The new Legislature legislature will doubtless
equalize the appropriations and increase
the same in order that the schools may
remain open during longer term. Rep
resentative elect Baynard OF Whining
ton, is interested in plan to make uni
form rate of 81 per day as allowance for
all the district school teacher for every
day in the year he keeps his school open
and teaches, increasing the salary if the |
exceeds fifty. There would
be no extra expense on the part of the
school commissioners during the summer
months. Mr.. Baynard has had consider
lble experience in Wilmington's educa-
ional affairs.

CHECK srAMfs I'd GO

Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee, has introduced bill
reducing the taxation under the wal
revenue act, after the Republican mem
bers of the committee had agreed on a
form of the measure and the articles to
receive the reduction OF tax. The bill
provides an aggregate reduction estimated
at $40,0OO,3 338. The following are the
principal items in amount that are
stricken from the schedule under the
proposed bill:
The two cent stamps on bank checks
certificates of deposit, drafts, postal
money orders, etc., are very annoying to
class of people and much complaint has
been made to the committee, especially
from the smaller towns ard from farmers.
Another source of annoyance has been
the tax of l cent on express receipts and
telegraph messages There is no doubt
but that this taxation has caused more
widespread annoyance and trouble than
anything else in the act. The committee,
therefore, has striken these from the
law. The tax upon deeds and convey
ances has been quite burdensome in
numerous instances, as well as the tax
upon insurance and leases. The tax
upon promissory notes and mortgages
has been very onerous upon the debt or
class. 1t has seemed to them that it was
enough to pay interest without paying
tribute to the Government upon every
transaction of this kind.
The effrrt to have the internal rev.
nue. tax taken off checks, drafts, receipts,
etc., which will be made at the present
Congress is Oppressed by the Federation
OF Labor. The reason given in the reso-
luton is that such tax is not paid by the
laboring men, who pay more than their
share of taxes, but by the business men.

| you understand all the sciences and All

because you have grown up on the farm
and because you have made the most Of
yourself, you are entitled to the very
best place which may be open to you.
Then think of the satisfaction it is to
the farmer to know that heis fully the
peer of bis neighbor from an educational
standpoint, whether that neighbor be
doctor, priest or lawyer. To the man
who is able to honestly hold this opinion
of himself the world takes on new light.
Life takes on meaning it cannot to the
one who is satisfied simply to drift along

education Is not meant for the Il
But is it possible for the farmer thus
to gain an education2 On this point there
can be little difference of opinion. The

out the country come to supplement the

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 22.-North-
bound passenger train No. Sc on the
St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern
railway was held up Wednesday night
near Clifford Station, 40 miles south
of Little Rock, by five masked robbers.
A lot of ties piled on the track and
surmounted by red light caused the
engineer to Sow up, and before the
train had come to stop the bandits
were ati'work with dynamite. The
door of the express car was blown
open and the express messenger, L. D.
Avery, Of ST.. Louis,, was seriously in
jured by flying timbers. Four vain
attempts were made to blow open the
through safe. Their supply of dyna-
mite being exhausted, the robbers left
with only the contents of the way
safe, amounting to about $500. No at
tempt was made to rob any of the pas
sengers. The express car was literally
blown to pieces. 3s=*.&ta ~; 5&'~+ ='.@
