and good name by eiecting a Regular
and a Democrat to I'll the vacancies. II
this can not be done, we favor the cleo
tion of two good Regulars. We hope
that the few selfish and unwise Demo
Gratis who have stood in the way OF NH
ing the vacancies may be forced aside
and the situation be saved by the cleo
tion of two Regular Republicans.
There is food for thought here, and
we shall see whether the Democrats
have the courage TO live up to the advice
given by the Dover organ. It occurs to
us that the only cause for apprehension
in the whole situation is in the fact
that certain legislators are not big
enough to play their proper parts Were
patriotism put above partisanship all
would be well.

Two Regular Republicans.
The Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In this situation many Democrats in
Delaware have suggested that the DEM
ocratic members of the Legislature rise
above their equitable proposition and
make the magnanimous offer to elect
two Regular Republicans to the United
States Senate. This would give the
coup de grace to the Addicks faction.
Its marauding chieftain would recognize
that with two Regular Republicans in
the United States Senate a fresh cam
paign two years hence would be boot
less expenditure of money in a bad
cause. The Regular Republicans in the
Delaware Legislature could not reject
this magnanmOus offer of the Demo-
Gratis. though there are doubtless some
among them who have a sneaking SYM
pathy with Addicks which they dare not
aVow. While a seat for one term ol
Congress in the United States Senate is
OF little Importance to any Of the prom
inent Democrats of Delaware. il is OF
great concern to the Democrats of The
State that there should be an end ol
the scandalous Addicks invasion. This
Is what the election of two Regular Re
pnblicans to the Senate would accom-.
plish more effectually than would the
compromise originally proposed: ant
nence the earnestness with which manN
Delaware Democrats urge its adoptior
py the Legislature. There are freouent
occasions of moment in which men O
spirlt and patriotism feel that the,
must sink party in order to avert pub
ne peril and the crisis in Delaware pre
sehts one ct these perils. The Demo
Gratis Of Delaware are proving that the,
are equal to the OCCASION

rHE SENATORIAL SITUATION

There is little doubt expressed among
politicians that ere this session Of the
Legislature expires there will be two
United States senators elected 1t is
practically certain that amy proposition
looking TO the election of one senator
and leaving the other place vacant is
now out Of the question. It is equally
certain that the coalition plan. which
had for its object the election Of a Re
publican for the long term and a Demo-
-cTTTr fFITF ere shoft-terIn. is no longer
possible. AT one time this was the logi-
cal and proper solution. and the Even-
ing Journal supported it. but in the
trend OF events it now seems out Of the
question.
Granting that two senators will De
elected, and that both OF them will be
Republicans. there are three solutions
open If the Regular Republicans de-
eide that party custom c0mpels them
to go into caucus with the Union Re
publican members under am agreement
TO abide by the viii of the majority
then two Union Republicans win be
elected. and the Democrats will have
no part in the game This would mean
strengthening of the Addicks ma
chine. and two years hence the Cas-
man would walk into the Senate for q
six-year term, practically without op-
position.
But it is said that the Regular Re-
pubhcans win not go into caucus with
The Union Republicans without some
antecedent agreement It is pointed
out that the Union Republicans hay-
ing at one time refused to go into can-
Gus, thereby defeating the election OF
a Republican United States senator
they must now make concessions tc
The Regular, Republicans. II may trans
pire that they will finally say to The
Regular Republicans: You select YOU
man and we will select ours. and thu
settle the matter
The one remaining solution is in tn
hands Of the Democrats. II their wis
to thWart Addicl1s and 10 put down Ad
dicksism has any real basis, they ma
vote for two Regular Republicans, thu
insuring to- the State two clean, hor
Orable men for senators, and at Il
same time administering a staggerir
blow to Addicksism. There are maj
leading Democrats who wish to s.
this done. as they argue that with on
twenty-one members they cannot e
pect to have a senator. yet they mi
be all powerful in helping to sele
those from another party.
Anyone who looks at the matter d
passionately. first removing the colo
ed spectacles of party bias, will rea
lily understand that the situation MI
produce two senators. and that tn
must be Republicans.

THE BANK OF WEBSTER.

AnInter. Ocean representative on a
recent business trip to the new town
of Webster was ~agreeably surprised to
find there a bank that would in all
ways reflect credit IN any town in the
State. It has of course been known,
in a general way that there vas a
bank at Webster, but so little has
been said about it in the papers that
we we're quite surprised to find such a
splendid institution as we did. The
building is from the plans Of Hancock
Bros. Of Fargo, who built the new
hospital in this city, n is a model
Of neatness. The inside Of the bank
is really beautiful, the rough finish
walls are artistically colored and
decorated. The furniture new
throughout is polished oak, in finish
what is known as "golden oak
Safety seems to have been uppermost
in the minds of the managers of the
bank, for there are few as good vaults
in the country. The walls are fully
two feet thick. inside the vault is the
BURGLAR. proof steel safe, with its
three time locks, made by the famous
safe builders of the world, Halls Safe
and Lock company. The doors arc
five inches thick, chrome steel, and
while the safe is not large, it weighs
labout two tons. We had a pleasant
/, visit with Cashier Juergens, who tool

throughout. 1t seems that with two
exceptions, all the stock holders are
farmers, such farmers as built thu

FORESTRY FOR FARMERS.
suGgsstions for Their Guidance in
The Matter of Economy In
Tim eur Cutting.

The farmers of this country
about 5OO,OOe,O 900 acres of woodland,
ten times the acreage of all the federal
forest reserves. Most of it consists of
small wood lots from which the own
ers derive their timber supplies for
farm purposes.
1t was to help the farmer in caring
for his timber land that the bureau
of forestry several years ago UNDER
took to furnish him, without cost, the
services of its foresters. The offer
proved popular, says a Washington
report, and applications for assistance
have far exceeded the ability of the
bureau, with it's limited number Of
trained foresters, to answer them.
During the season just passed the
bureau has accomplished more than
ever before in putting small wood lots
under forest management and in
teaching the farmer how properly to
treat his timber.
A great deal of wood is consumed
every year on the farm for fuel, posts,
poles and other uses. Ordinarily the
farmer cuts what he needs without
thought as to whether he is lessenInp
the power of his forest constantly to
yield its supplies. The result is that
the forest becomes poorer and poorer
every year and less able to furnish the
wood its owner needs. The skill the
farmer exercises in the management
Of his crops is not OF the kind that
enables him to manage properly his
timber. He needs TIN services of a
forester.
Usually only one visit to the farm
by the bureaus expert is NECESSARY
and this service is given without cost
to the n When, as occasionally
happens, a second visit is needed. the
owner is required to pay the travel
ing and living expenses of the expert
while employed at the work.
THE Hardy Catalpa," a bulletin lust
published, forms another contribu-
ton to the series of studies of Amer
lean commercial trees which the
bureau of forestry has undertaken.
The value of this publication will be
greatest in the middle west, where the
catalpa has been planted for many
years with varying success, and where
even now it is imperfectly understood.
The farmer Of the prairie states who
desires to put a part Of his lands into
catalpa, either for profit in selling
posts and ties, or to supply his farm
with timber, will find in the bulletin
valuable information clearly and SIM
ply given.

BILLIONS OF CIGARS SMOKED.
ares In the Report Of IAteFla1ss
Revenue Commissioasx.

In one year s,eO5, 74e, 1868 cigars were
consumed by the cigar smokers Of the
United States. For every one of the
365 days of the year, beginning June
80. 1901, and ending June 80, 1902, 1s,-
919,S62 cigars were consumed. Or, it
might be said, in every second of the
% hours, comprising each day, 21S
stubs were thrown away. There were
80 cigars consumed for every man,
woman and child in the United States,
says a Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The information upon which these
figures are based was cleaned from
the annual report for the fiscal year
1902 of the commissioner of internal
revenue, recently issued by the United
States treasury department at Wash
lngton. The estimates are made upon
the receipts from the sale of revenue
stamps for the payment of tax on
domestic and imported manufactures
withdrawn from warehouses for con-
sumption.
In order to place it more readily
within the grasp of the reader, if the
entire number consumed in the year
were placed end to end they would
reach a distance of 1904 miles, which
is more than 10 times the circumfer-
ence of the earth.
The average yearly increase in the
number consumed for the past five
calendar years is 573, 2a33 ,161, or more
than half a billion a year.. If the
present rate of incrcase continues, ter
years hence, i'll 1912, the people of this
country will be smoking ut the rate of
