HAzING AT WEST POINT

The great issue in the Con-
gressional investigation into the
deathof ex-cadet Booz, has been,
whether the Congress which sup
ported the institution, clothed,
fed and paid the cadets, should
make the rules governing it's
management, or whether a lot
of boys (for it must be remem-
bered that the oldest of them
cannot be much past their ma
jority) should make those rules.
The cadets have at last been
brought to realize their depend
ence and made a virtue of neces-
sity by voluntarily signing a
pledge that they would do that
which each one had solemnly
sworn he would do, i. e., to sup
port the Constitution and the
laws of the country. The ones
who come out of the middle in
worst shape are the officers STA
toned at West Point, who al
though sworn to observe the
laws and to see that the regula-
tions were enforced have done
just the opposite. 1t would not
be far wrong, should the Depart
ment find use for the entire aca-
demic force in some other capa-
cityaud fill their places with men
of a higher appreciation of their
duties and responsibilities.

THE QUEEN is DEAD-rHE KING RE1eEs

On Tuesday evening January
22d, surrounded by her children
and grandchildren Queen Vic
toria quietly passed away and
Albert Edward became King to
be known as Edward VII. The
death of the Queen closes an
epoch.
The Victorian age will be
spoken of in history as are now
those Of Elizabeth, a former
Edward, William the Conqueror
or Alfred the great. When she
was crowned the end of the mon
archy seemed in sight. Her death
leaves the throne more secure
than ever. She has out lived
all who were prominent at the
beginning of her reign, and
throughout it all she has pur-
sued the same course, while her
predecessors brought trouble
upon themselves and their
country by meddling in the poll
tics OF heday she kept out of it,
but kept a strong hand upon the
foreign policy. It was this hold
that prevented war with the
United States over the Trent af-
fair. In fact she was even the
friend of this Country, and it
was largely her efforts that has
brought about the bond that now
exists between the two great En-
glish speaking nations But it
was as wife and mother that
she was particularly known and
loved. She made her home a |
model one and was careful that
no breath Of scandal should ever |
come to bring discredit upon her
or hers. And it is the widow |
and mother more than the Queen
Who Is mourned over the entire
habitable globe.
Edward VII. succeeds to his
mothers throne under better
prospects than would have been
thought possible thirty years
ago. At that time the Prince of
Wales stood, not for the best
there is in life, but rather for
that which was sporty" and
the setsurrounding him lived the
pace that kills. But on his re-
covery from a serious illness. a
great change was apparent. He
began to take an interest in pub
lie affairs and this interest has
/
continued and has made him the
most popular Prince England
has had. But following the ex-
ample of his mother and probably
Influenced by her, he has not al
lowed that interest to lead him
INTO partisan politics. His friends
are of all shades of political
opinion and of all stations in So
;iety, none being too poor to be
beneath his notice. While he

iood and the education and train
ng necessary to make up a cen.
titutional monarch. He like his
mother is a great friend of the
United States, and the comfy

DELAWARE COLLEGE ASKS AID

DELAWARE COLLEGE ASKS AID
A special committee from the Board Of
Trustees Of Delaware College Tuesday
appeared before the General Assembly,
DR.. George w. Marshall and J. Harvey
Whiteman setting forth the needs of the
college.
Although the institution now derives
500, $50 annually from the Federal Gov
ernment, this appropriation has string
attached which hampers the Board of
Trustees. The money has to be applied
to the departments that investigate the
sciences. Because of the crowded condi-
ton of the college this work connot be
accomplished successfully and unless it
can be continued the national appropria-
ton will cease. The committee asked for
an administrative building to cost $25, 600.
WANT LICENSE FEE AND TAX REMOVED
The effort of the Board of Trade of
Wilmington to have all manufacturers
exempted from taxation stirred up a

representatives of other Yocations took
exception to relieving the manufacturers
to the exclusion of other industries. Mr..
Shallcross came forward with bill re-
moving the taxation on farm stock. DR..
Moore presented bill exempting physi-
clans and dentists and Mr.. Hardesty pre-
sented another measure relieving retailer
OF goods and to merchandise. The bills,
coming in rapid succession, caused
laughter, but the fathers of the bills de-
clare they will push their measures if the
manufacturers are SO relieved.

Quantities of Food They Get Away
With in q College Year.

Sugar and spice and everything nice
nave been bought in larger quantities
than ever this year at the Woman's
college to meet the demands of the
greatly increased number of resident
students. The contracts are made at the
opening of college, through Mr., George
filbert, cashier of the Woman's college.
and are given to Baltimore dealers.
The amount of beef ordered for the
year is 21.0O0 pounds. of mutton, $500.
the same as last year; veal, 5000, and
pork $500. Poultry will be used in
greater abundance than ever, the con-
tract calling for 1000 pounds, 500 more
than was bought last year.
Three thousand pounds of fish and 200
gallons of oysters have been contracted
for, and 1000 dozen eggs, 5000 gallons Of
milk and 5000 pounds of butter will help
to make life worth living. Five hun
dred bushels of potatoes and 800 cases
OF canned vegetables have been ordered
and fresh vegetables will be bought daily
as needed.
One hundred and twenty-five barrels
of flour will be required to make the
delicious rolls, mullins and waffles served
at the college homes, and the contract
for lard goes up to 1900 pounds.
What can be done with so much SUI
gar Is a question, but there will proba-
bly, not be grain left at the close of the
year Of the $4,000 pounds ordered. One
thousand five hundred pounds of cof-
Zee, 125 pounds of tea and 100 pounds of
chocolate have been ordered. Two
thousand five hundred pounds of crack
ers Is what the contract calls for.
Is the college girl about to give up ice
cream? May be a new woman question.
for. in Baltimore, at least, the demand
seems to be less. Last year the demand
fell from 700 to $50 gallons and this year
the contract calls for but 500 gallons.
The fact that some ices and many DELI
cious sweets are made in the home is,
however, factor in the reason for this
falling off. Seventy-five thousand
pounds Of ice have been contracted for.
Fruits, jellies and pickles are all "put
up" in the college homes. the pantry
shelves Of which are piled with jars Of
delicious things the college housakeepers
are skilled in the art of preserving and
the pantry of Vingolf, Fensal or Glitner
hall would be a paradise for any small

ampton counties, Virginia, are complete

state and include inhabitants who have
little in common with other citizens Of
Virginia and are much more nearly al
Maryland and Delaware, with which
geographically they are connected.
The ratio of iliteracy in these two
counties, as in the Maryland counties on
the eastern shore and in the Delaware
counties in the peninsula, is unduly high.
For a number of years the Maryland
counties on the eastern shore claimed to
be entitled to one United States senator
and for many years this claim was sus-
tanned by the Annapolis legislature. More
recently, however, the views of the resi-
dents of the peninsula have been disre-
garded. The claim of the resident OF
the eastern shore of Maryland to a sena-
tor has been abrogated, the votes of the
representatives Of the peninsula counties
of Delaware for Addicks in that state
have been ineffective and the protest Of
the voters of the two peninsula counties
of Virginia against the constitutional
convention have been Oyerruled.-New
