DUTIES IND FEES Of
COUNTY C0NSTABLES
Residents of Rural Hundreds
Do Not Think They Have
Enough Protection

TO the Editor of The Evening Journal:
There seems to be some question as
20 the duties of the constables appoint
ed by the Levy Court for the different
hundreds.
Is it their duty to keep a lookout for
suspicious characters and arrest
tramps found trespassing on private
property?
am told that they consider their
duties limited to suits before a magis-
trate. where fees are reasonably GER
tain.
viii you publish in The Evening
journal the names of the constables
who are appointed for. and who live in
Brandywine and Christiana hundreds.
Also what the law defines as their du-
ties. Are the fees which they receive
sufficient to allow us to call on them
for protection from the dangerous loaf
ers who watch around until the men
folk have gone away and then visit
the farmhouses making demands?
If the constables are not to be called
on then we should have some whose
/ especial duty it is to protect lives and
property in the hundreds adjoining
i Wilmington
Brandywine Hundred.

NEW FACTORS IN COTTON PRODUC-
TION

very improbable story, to the eff
feet that the Standard Oil magnates
have determined to go into the pro-
duction of cotton on a large scale, was
published by the Philadelphia Record
in it's edition of Thursday. According
to this story Rockefeller, Rogers and
other Standard Oil multi-millionaires
have had a number of conferences in
Philadelphia with cotton planters of
the South and with cotton buyers of
that city regarding the production of
cotton on large scale. 1t seems
they never took much interest in cot
ton until the present season. Their
attention was called to it by the high
price which it is bringing, and having
vast quantities of money to invest,
they investigated the advantages which
cotton offered as an investment. The
conclusion they reached was that they
had money enough to control the cot
ton market, and that they would grow
cotton on a large scale. and with the
means at their command would see 10
it that the price did not fall much, If
any, below the price which it is bring
ing this season.
1t is said that they own vast tracts
of land in Texas. and that they have
given orders to purchase thousands of
acres more in other parts of the South,
their purpose being to grow cotton on
"a vast scale. and perhaps to deal in
it also,
The story may have some founda-
ton, but it is doubtful if it has 1t
isn't at al! likely that Mr., Rockefeller
would go into the growing of cotton
for the purpose of making money for
two reasons. The first is that he
doesn't like to have anything to do
with a business which he cannot have
under his immediate control. and the
other Is that he could make a great
deal more money by creating corners
in the cotton market. With the money
he has at his command he could prac-
tically tie up the entire cotton crop
and put whatever price he pleased
upon it.
He could of course buy hundred or
a thousand cotton plantations If he
wanted them, but he would have to
have a small army of men to manage
them. He would find it difficult to get
capable and. economical managers. The
labor problem would also bother him.
II isn't like MIR. Rockefeller to go into
any such scheme. 1t may be true that
he and other oil men have lands in
Texas which they intend to plant in
cotton, hut the planting will be on a
small scale and not with the inten-
tion to make she planting a part of a
scheme TO control the cotton market.

BRYAN,s TLTIMATUsf.

In commenting on Mr.. Bryan's ulti-
maturn, issued in his dollar dinner
speech at Lincoln. Neb., on last Mon
day night, Henry Watterson, in an
editorial in his paper, the Louisville
Courier-Journal, says;
Mr.. Bryan lays down his ultimatum.
The party must first re-enact the plat
form of 1896 and 1900; then ii must Sc
lect a nominee approved by Mr.. Bryan.
who has blacklisted every Democrat
who has shown any vitality or carried
any election the last four or five years;
finally, the party must accept no
money for it's campaign expenses from
the common enemy" the common
enemy" being each and everyone who
has any money to spare.
Times change and men change with
them issues change and voters change
with them, The Democratic party
needs votes. on the lines of 1896 and
1900 1t suffered disaster,
In spite of these lessons are we to
continue to accept Mr.. Bryan as our
political Moses? Is Populism, Social
ism, Fusionism the only resources of
the people against the money power?
To our mind all this seems the very
embodiment of political blasphemy,
and we refuse to be party to it.
Evidences are cropping out on all
sides that there are others who will
not be a party to it. AS far as we
ans ultimatum has been very gener-
ally condemned by the Democratic
papers in all parts of the country-all
but Mr.. Hearst's papers. Between Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Hearst there appears
to be a good deal of sympathy, though
Mr.. Bryan seems to wish it to be be-
lieved that there is no understanding.
1t is thought that Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Hearst hope to get enough dele
gates to the Democratic National Con-
vention to prevent the convention from
doing anything that will not be in har-
mony with their programme.
In Washington dispatches it is as
serted that in the East the Bryan
Hearst menace" is to be neutralized
by means of what is known as the
unit rule Under this rule the sense of
the majority is adopted as the sense
of the whole delegation. In New
York, for instance, there Is a small
Bryan Hearst minority, but with this
rule in force it would not find express
sion in the National Convention. And
this would be the case in other states
where Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Hearst have
sufficient followers to elect few, but
not a majority, of the delegates.
Mr., Bryan's strength is almost who'll
ly in the West. Mr.. Hearst has some
popularity in that section, and also in
labor centers of the East. He has had
agents at work for months, and there
isn't much doubt that they have rem
dered him considerable service.
Mr.. Bryan's rule or ruin policy is
the cause of a great deal of disappoint-
ment among Democrats generally. 1t
was hoped he would be in favor of
harmonizing differences in the party,
so that the Democratic ticket would
have some chance for success. 1t is
now seen, however, that nothing will
satisfy him but the reaffirmation of
the Kansas City Platforms platform
which he bulldozed the party into
adopting. The party will not be bull
dozed this year. 1t is going to make
an effort to win the election on a COM
mon sense platform.

Did you ever see a rosebush which,
despite the most beneficent environ

A ton of manure will not help a

You must destroy the cause before
you can remove the effect.
You cannot cure dandruff and bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in Vaselinei etc. f ls.is
