peated disappearance Of valuable
packages from the local warehouse of

rHE cnunon am nKIRERY

The ministers Of the Methodist
Church residing in this city, have been
considering the statements and rumors
to the effect that memliars of the
church in good standing have been
participants in election bribery. Pos
sibly persons connected with this de-
nomination have been mentioned in
this connection because lu Kent and
Sussex counties the Methodists are
more numerous than all the other re-
ligious bodies combined. Possibly,
too, it is because this church reaches
out for the lowly, as well as to those
in high places; and it is among tina
poor and the ignorant that the election
manipulator finds his victims.

OUR NEW SECRETARY
ChUsTlo CRITICISM or PRESENT
HOLDER or TREASURY PORTFOLIO.
"Natlonal Blmotalilst" Talks Sharply Of
speech Delivered by dow shaw at
the Trans Missouri Congress In Sep
tomber, 1909.

Tho appointment OF Ex-Governor
Shaw OF Iowa as secretary Of the
treasury gives Importance to the
Views which he has expressed on the
money question, He was one of the
speakers on the gold side when the
money question was discussed at the
trans-Missoun congress, Sept, 10, IA
and Is, 1898. In the course of his
speech on that occasion he made tho
statement that neither gold nor silver
was mentioned In the constitution,
The September number Of the Ma
tlonal Blmetalllst, edited by eX-Con-
gresham Barune and published at
Washington, contained caustic crlti-
clsm of Mr., shaw's speech, The fol-
lowing extract ls taken from page $685.
Perhaps the lIghtest, most fllppant
and therefore the most disappointing
speech on the gold side was that OF
Governor Shaw Of Iowa. There was
literally nothing In It, and II showed
tho unwlsdom Of putting men forward
as advocates merely because they hap
pen to hold high official positions. He
denied that II was necessary for the
gold men to prove anything, The gold
standard was an established fact he
saId and hence It was for its oppo-
nents TO do the proving, Governor
Shaw manifested his knowledge of
the constitution by declaring that II
did not mention either gold or silver,
for which he was sharply called down
by Mr.. Towne and Mr., l., II, Weller,
and section Of the constitution was
read to HIM"
Mr. Shaw's error illustrates the shall
lowness Of many Of those who adyo-
cate the money question from the
llnanciers side. Mr. Shaw Is money
lender and II Is too often assumed that
man who handles money must neces-
sarily understand the principles that
govern the money question. 1t Is n
false assumption, A man may know
whose name Is good on a note, he may
know how to keep books, and may
even understand how large reserve
should be kept on hand, and yet be
ignorant of the science Of money. 1t
Is often the case that the small hnan-
cier leans on the largest one he knows
who In turn, leans on some larger one
and 80 on ad lnnnitum, Kowledge of
the money question comes from an un-
derstandIng Of the principles involved,
not from the possession Of the wealth
or from the counting of dollars. It is
to be hoped that Governor Shaw has
made a careful examination Of the con-
stItutlon since his Omaha speech.
