A GREAT NnsTAI,E

Our Sussex contemporary, the Sussex
Journal, Is certainly misinformed when
it gives utterance to the following:
In his message to Congress President
Roosevelt advocates the ship subsidy
scheme 1t is fact that the Ameri-
can ships are paying investments. Then
why tax every man, woman and child
in order that the pockets of the
Hannas. Morgans and others may be
filed with m.re?'
Now it is mic, fact that American
ships engaged in the merchant trade
are paying investments. Our merchant
marine has practically disappeared
irOm the high seas. OF all the grain
shipped last year 10 foreign markets,
not a bushel was carried in an Ameri-
can bottom. During last year not a
merchant ship flying American colors
entered a port OF Germany, Russia
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy
Austria. Hungary, Greece or Turkey
Two small vessels entered French
ports, one in ballast, one to Belgium
also in ballast. and one cleared from
Spain. There entered or cleared from
all the ports of the United Kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland, clever
vessels. not including those of thl
american line Does the Sussex Jour
nal know that a single German lin,
carried more cargo than all the Ameri
can ships combined? Such is the fact
American ships do not pay. else W
should have more Of them. Every for
eign nation has system of subsidies
and we shall still depend upon foreig
ships to carry our freight, unless W
awake to our opportunities. We can
net assume that American ships pa
when we know that they carry br
nine per cent. of our imports and ea
ports.

nized between the requirements OF mo-
rality in political matters on the one
hand. and on the other. in private af-
fairs or business Many who formerly
would have been shocked, now regard
with comp.acency the commission Of
political frauds Of all kinds and the
fragrant violation of the most funda-
mental rights Of government, so
long as they or their party may bene-
1T by them. They disregard the fixed
facts that man was not made for the
sake of government, but government
was instituted for the welfare of man:
that. as Lowell said, before man made
us citizens. great nature made us men; "
and that the practice of the virtues in
the affairs Of organized society Is quite
as Important as I'm those OF private
life. Il is one of the most stringent
duties of good citizenship to denounce
and repudiate this perniciOus doc
trine that while sound morals require
the observance Of honor. honesty and
fair dealing I'M the conduct of ones
private business affairs. the practice of

methods in political life is to be con-

B. J. MATTHEWS HAS VIOLENT DEATH
Noted FiHancier Thrown From Horse on
Saturday

Philadelphia. Dec. e.--On Saturday
Edward ]. Matthews, OF New York.
president oi the American District
Telegraph company, was killed by be.
ing thrown from his horse while
watching the Radnor hounds hunt
fox.
The spot where he met his death IS
near the covered bridge at Ford's
dam, about one mile from here. Mr..
Matthews did not ride to the hounds.
The mare that he usually rode was
out of condition, and the only horse
available was one belonging to his
son, a new and untried animal. called
Devil" on account of its vicious dis.
position. Mr.. Matthews mounted
Devil and rode to the field to see the
hounds threw off. He had no inten.
tion of riding with the pack, but as
the dogs failed to find on the Cassatt
property. he rode along in the rear
of the hunt and watched it from the
hilltops. Then he stopped at his farm
and chatted with Dawson, his tenant
farmer. Hearing the hounds as they
circled round the hill, he started up
the road to get another view of them.
1t is believed that some carriages
going on the covered bridge ahead of
him scared Devil, causing him to rear
and throw his rider The occupants
of the carriages did not see the acci-
dent, and Mr.. Matthews lay for somG
time in the road, dead, with a broker
neck. A farm boy was the first tU
find the body, and almost simulsa.
neously the hunt swept by in a field
further on.
A message was at once sent to his
family, which is living In the Ogden
Doremus house, on Fifty-third street
New York. Two sons, Wilbur and Ros-
coe, started at once for home, and
arrived there Saturday night His
other son, Frederick. and his daughter
remained with their mother, who is in
such delicate health that it is feared
that the news of her bereavement will
kill her
The spot where Mr. Matthews was
killed has tragic traditions. Two
years ago a coaching party was upset
and one person killed and one MANNED
for life. Last year. on the same spot.
Henry Wilbur was thrown from his
horse and killed.
George Maxton, coroner of Berwyn,
at once empaneled jury held his in
quest and a verdict of accidental
death, by being thrown from his horse
on the public highway" was found.

lN- punilCIrY Is sArErY

The leading newspapers of the coun-
try are now agreed that publicity is
one of the best means for preventing
the spread of smallpox or any other
CONTAGIOUS disease. The Denwarean
took this stand weeks ago. We COLI
tended as these journals are now con-
tending, that the "concealment and
suppression" policy was a mistaken and
dangerous one. Practical illustrations
OF its evil effects were given the citl-
zens of this county about that time,
and the Dolawarean took the subject
up and condemned the course which
mad been adopted by THE press of VIII
mington. Chester and Philadelphia
Dover Delawarean.
We heartily endorse the sentiment
OF the above save in the particular re-
garding the matter of the publicity
given TO the infection by the press Of
Wilmington. The Evening Journal
published the news, giving full infor-
nation regarding the extent OF the dis
ease. Furthermore, we impressed
upon our citizens the impoi tance Of all
precaution, and urged the vaccination
Of all school children. The Delawar-
can is right; publicity is all important,
and concealment may be crime.
Fortunately. Wilmington has had
but a few cases, but with the dread
disease al. around us we do not know
the moment that It will break out
again. In Philadelphia, for instance,
the situation must be grave, indeed,
When the officials hnd II necessary TO

And If she grant you through her eyes
A peep into her soul,

You never see the whole.
