The question of farm labor is one
that engages the serious attention of
most every tiller of the soil in this vi
cinlty. Over on the Eastern shore
they are meeting the situations by in
ducing Polish and German families to
settle among them. Especially is this
80 IN the vicinity of Still Pond. Far
mers are finding the help on both the
farm and in the kitchen are becoming
less satisfactory with each recurring
season. With the introduction of for
elgn laboFtbey hope to relieve the sit
uatlon. They purpose erecting tene-
ment houses, and will use the women
help IN the kitchen. This method is
adopted almost universally in the dis.
trlcts outside of Baltimore and works
like charm.

After one of the most sensational
political fights in the history of the
State, the senatorial deadlock was
broken in the Legislature Monday by
the election of State Senator J. Frank
Alice of Dover, Union Republican, for
the long term and Congressman L.
Helsler Ball of Hockessin, Regular
Republican, for the short term, to fill
Delaware's two vacancies in the United
States Senate. The withdrawal of
Addicks made the situation possible
and the election was the best that
could be done under the circumstances.
The choice of the Union Republicans
from the first to last was Addicks and
being the majority faction they had
perfect right to insist on their choice,
but the Regulars, the minority faction
continued the deadlock by demanding
that they have their choice and also
say who the Unions should not name.
Addicks graciously stepped aside and
j. Frank Alice was named in his stead
The latter has been a close friend and
an active lieutenant of Addicks ever
since his entry into Delaware politics.
He is regarded as shrewd politician
and his election is a decided victory
Tor the Union Republicans. His cleo |
ton is but paving the way for the cleo
ton of Addicks two years to come
Whatever might be said of the election
and the unpleasant experiences of the
past, 1t is refreshing to think the dead
lock is at last broken and Delaware is
having its proper representation in tn
upper halls of Congress With the
matter out of the way, the
Legislature can settle down to bust
ness and utilize the remaining time in
giving good legislation for the state.

FOUL STRIKE RULE TROUBLE.

Leagues Disagree. and One May Re
 tain It and the Other Not.
 The foul strike rule is still causing no end of talk, and there may yet be trouble owing to the two major leagues failure to agree on 1t. Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the American league, talking on the subject, says:
 There Is much opposition to the foul strike law among our clubs, and committee will talk 1t over at our annual meeting next month. expect it will be abolished
 There seems to have been misun- derstanding regarding the adoption of the law by the American league. John son says the National league magnates agreed to do away with the rule if it did not work well in the American league, and President Hart of Chicago, speaking for the National league, says Johnson is in error on this point. The upshot of the whole matter probably will be that the National league will retain the rule. as at least five of it's clubs are in favor of 1t, while the American league will do away with 1t because six of its clubs are opposed to it.

KAISER'S CUP RACE.
Lord Lonsdale Empowered by
 Emperor to Settle Details.
AMBASSADOR TO BRING DOCUMENTS

The Yacht Race Across Atlantic Has KeenIy Interested W1lliam-TaIked
 Matter Over With LonsdaIe and
 sternburg Yesterday Afternoon.
 BERLIN, Nov. 24.-The emperor has long past been interesting himself keen1y in the forthcoming Atlantic yacht race, and, being distinctly of the opinion that there iS no time to be lost, he telegraphed to Lord Lonsdale on Saturday to come over.
 Lord Lonsdale, accompanied by Bar on Speck von Sternburg, the German ambassador to the United States, vis- ited the emperor at Potsdam for about five hours yesterday. On returning he said:
 His majesty, who looked exceeding ly well, appreciated fully the difficult ties which have arisen in connection with the giving of the cup, but most thoroughly hopes that the two clubs will come to some sportsmanlike agree ment which will cause yachts from both clubs to compete.
 "The kaiser, who thoroughly under stands the question, has given me full powers 10 SCllle all ulSdBTSSLuCutS. HI the best possible way, knowing I shall do so with the sentiments of a sports man.
 "At the present moment the cable is working. I have sent a message to the secretary of the New York Yacht club, who has just sent me an answer to the effect that my communication has been received and will be consider ed and that reply will be given as soon as possible.
 1T am in hopes that the answer which am momentarily expecting will solve all difficulties. don't think it will be we'll to publish the terms of what I have sent, which I hope will | result in a modus vivendi."
 Lord Lonsdale wore an elaborate dia- mond scarfpin with a crown given him by the kaiser, whose guest he was at 1 the Hotel Bristol.
 As he was leaving Lord Lonsdale said, .'It is just as we'll to say it was today arranged that Baron Speck von Sternburg, who returns to the United States on Dec 1, will take all the nee essary papers as to conditions and ev- erything connected with the race"

FOOTBALL A COLLEGE KEY.

Chicago Educator Says 1t Ia Used
 by Poor Students.
 'T have specific statements to the eff. feet that four high school students had not completed three-fourths of the re- uuired four years regular work when they were admitted to universities of good standing. They were taken sim ply because they knew how to play football.
 This declaration was made recently by Superintendent of Schools Edwin G. Cooley of Chicago. It marked the be- ginning of a struggle on the part of the public school authorities to prevent what they characterized as the demor- Rlization of high schools by the athletic associations of universities, says the Chicago Tribune.
 If high school pupil can put up 8 good game of football the college au- thorities with inducements secure the pupil before he has finished his high school course. They do this to strength en the athletics of their college" de- cIared Superintendent Cooley. '.Such action on the part of college authorities is an outrage, and at the next college conference I shall protest against the practice.
 "Men who would not have been per- mitted to play football on the high school teams because of their poor standing are admitted to the colleges with conditions so they may participate in the football game. They become ath- Eetic stars in college. This has serious influence 'on high school athletics. It causes demoralization not only of high school athletics. but also of high school education.
 'If the universities are determined to Ret down the bars on the ground that a man Is an athlete the man with brains has an unequal chance. and the strug- gle in preparatory schools will be for physical instead of for mental develop hnent.''
 Superintendent Cooley explained that the high school rules had been made so strict that member of an athletic team is required to have an average of 10 per cent or more in his studies on the day of the competition or he will not be permitted to participate.
 sAThe colleges" he said. stand on a pedestal and talk of ideals. yet they let fellow in whenever they see ht just because he Is good kicker or good ground gainer."
 President Harris characterized this practice as .reprehensible'' and de elared the board would take action to N .ff13 4fs

A BAN ON DINNER MUSIC.

1t Hath No Charms to Soothe the
 Chicago Breast When Dining.
 No more restaurant music for Chi cago. Public taste has become so di- verse that caterers discovered that there was no satisfying it. What pleased some drove others away. Esthetes could not stand any of it and patron ized restaurants which suppressed mu- sic. Then the Restaurant Keepers as- sociation met and decided to kill music.
 "Yes," said the manager of Kings ley's recently. i've stop music after to night It costs us S100 week. Many people come here and say they want to converse and that the music is an an- noyance."
 Couldn't satisfy every one," said the manager of the Sherman House. "Peo- pie have come in here and on hearing some piece they didn't like they have gone out. Nothing but chin music goes hereafter.'
