The lneome Tax.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
In the opinion of the Democratic
party, the greatest menace TO the well
fare OF the Republic is the possible
continuance In the Presidential Office
OF Theodore Roosevelt. Compared with
that, everything else sinks Into insig-
nihcance. The Democratic fight this
year is. accordingly. against Roosevelt
ism with an that It implies, and IN pre-
pairing for 1t the representatives. Of the
Democratic masses in the national con-
vention determined to put nothing into
the platform which would by any pos
sibilty endanger the success of that
fight.
But the income tax viii come I'm good
time. 1t is a just and proper form OF
taxation which will operate to put Its
fair share of the tax burden upon
wealth. much of which now escapes.
This tax can only come, however.

cratic leaders would rejoice to over
turn all of the work of the Roosevelt
administration. But even with the
election Of Parker this would be impos-
slble. since the Senate remains Repub-
lican. All that Parker's election could
accomplish would be to tie up legisla-
tion by giving him a chance to inter-
pose his veto. But should the Demo
Gratis control the lower house. Roose-
Welt as President would be IN the same
predlcament, as Congress would sit as
body determined to balk him at ev-
cry turn.
The Republicans Of Delaware need
a Congressman and this should be mo-
tive enough to elect one; but it should
also be remembered that the admins
ration may need him.

THE LOWER HOUSE.

~ ONE concern is being manifested
- among Republican leaders over
the possibility Of electing Roose-
Welt while losing the next Congress
This is not likely to happen, as on,
branch Of the ticket usually goes as the
other goes. 1t seems unreasonable
that the voters win elect Roosevelt anC
at the same time tie his hands by Sc
lecting n Congress adverse to him.
But it is important that the admin
istration shall have good working
majority in the House, that the gov
eminent policies shall not be hampered
1t appears in view Of this, that it is
most important that Delaware shall
elect Republican Congressman.

Nearly every one who has catarrh
knows how foolish it is to try and cure
IL by drugging the stomach. Tempo
rary relief may be given, but cure
seldom comes.
Until recently your physician would
have said the only way to cure

can carry a health giving climate in

According TO the census OF 1900 the

equal to 500 for each one Of the popu-

rHE MUNICIPAL COURT.

TIME duties Of a municipal judge
are certainly not pleasurable;
they require a pretty general
knowledge OF the law. and # cannot be
inspiring to sit day after day hning
petty criminals, and listening to the
pleas Of common drunks.
Yet this is the lot Of Deputy Judge
Garrett. who seems TO be performing
all the work Of the Municipal Court
these days. and on the meagre salary
Of $500 per year, II is a compensation
absurdly small. and the wonder is that
any person with Judge Garrett's ca
pacity win consent to perform the dut-
les for this salary.
The question is frequently asked
these days, how is It that practically
all the work fails on the deputy?
Where is the municipal Judge upon
whom the responsibility falls primar-
ily2 These are only questions Of the
milder sort others are being asked.
We should not fan into the error of
believing that out minor courts are
comparatively unimportant. These
courts arc the clearinghouse for an
minor offences. They represent to
thousands the majesty Of the law. as
comparatively few ever come in con-
tact with the higher courts.
The municipal judge should be a
man Of legal skill; man Of character
and good habits. In his own life h,
should an exemplar Of the ordlnar,
virtues. Judge Garrett comes up to tn,
standard, but his salary was evidenu,
intended for someone Of meaner ca
pacity.

operations to harvesting their hay crop.
But it seems that the town Of Bridge
vile has turned its attention to
peaches. and ga consequence, each In
habitant now has tucked away in a
stocking 500.
But this is exceptional. Generally
speaking, peaches are raised in the
country, and are only hauled to the
towns for sale or shipment. Sometimes
IL happens that growers haul their fruit
a dozen miles TO reach market and had
that been the case with Bridgeville. the
income from peaches last week would
have had to be divided among, not 600,
but several thousand people.

DHIRTY candidates for the vari-
Gus county omces OH Moncay
night met and adopted a resolu-
ton calling for common primaries for
this county. All phases Of Republican
ism were represented in The candidates
present. Some are Regulars. some
Union Republicans and some half
breeds-but all want common primar-
les. tt..
The wish Is natural and the motive
behind the request is proper. These
men ask simply that they shall be
placed in position where they can
make an honest tight for the respective
Offices to which they aspire with some
assurance that victory at the prl-
marles would not be altogether empty
and their chances Of election thrown
away .9-
But three or four men stand in the
way. They are senator Alice. resi-
dent of Kent; G. Il. Layton. now OF
Kent, formerly OF Sussex J. Edward
Addicks a citizen OF the world; S
Frank Ewart, who assumes to repre-
sent the Republican voters Of New
Castle county, and Magistrate Bradley
who hopes to be acknowledged as the
Republican leader in Wilmington
These men stand up and say that the
Republicans OF New Castle shall not
have common primaries. and the cam
didates must sacrifice their aspirations
in order to crafty the individual who
has laid down the policy Of two tickets
for this county
In other words. Addicks with tho
hope Of going to the Senate lays down
a policy which calls FOR the sacrifice
Of the ambitions Of these thirty can
didates. He makes his own election
of greater Importance than the election
OF any number. of faithful Republicans
He expects them to forego their own
aspirations and then turn in and dc
strenuous work for his success. II
doesn't seem like human nature for
men to reward utter selhshness at their
own expense; but there are men who
have done it, and a few may do II
again.
But why should not Addicks and his
puppets welcome common primaries,
Surely he has not forgotten the am.
alysis OF the vote Of this county which
appeared IN his paper Immediately az.
ter the election two years ago an,
which has been running at intervals
ever since. That estimate gives hin
nearly all Of the Republican vote o

primaries as means OF wiping out hi

publicans to condescend to ask such
gang for anything; but having aske
it, they should press the matter HON

ALL HE'D UP"

IN HE following letter from Peter

ure; IN justice to Mr.. Ford we
also comply with his request and ex-
plain what we mean by his connection
with the second contract with
the Sand Filtration Company. We
also suggest that as Mr.. Ford has gone

Editor Of Evening Journal;
In yesterdays issue OF your paper
you say editorially.
Besides 10 Is not an unkndness
to Mr. Ford to say that should he
be placed on the ticket his record
in the matter of the making of
second contract with the sand Fil-
tration Company would come up for
scrutiny.
Such an attack upon me by innuendo
seems not only an unkndness but also
a gross injustice. Since this is the Sec
ond attack your paper has seen tit to
make in the last few days-the first
being In the shape OF news item

ther my name Is ever connected with

fore TO come at me I'M plain language
instead Of nsinuatlOn. and tell the
public what you have ln mind as need

nectlon with the second Sand Filtra-
tion contract. Knowing the absolute
rectltude of my motives and course in
that natter / am satisfied that 1 and

you may have IN mind.
Yours respectfully. r
Peter j. Ford.
We mean just this. Mr. Ford: Tha
you were largely responsible for tina

There are those who think that this
contract was worse than the first; and

furthermore, that IL you are or expect
to be a candidate for Office, your rec

A Few figures.

The standing army of the United
States is, numerically speaking, triv-
ial force in comparison with the great
hosts of Europe. All told, itincludes
about as many men as Russia possess
es officers; and it is far exceeded by
armies of such second-class Powers as
Bulgaria and Seryia.
OF course, the character of the
army is far finer than that of Europe's
conscript levies, The great advant-
age of a small force is that you can
pick your men, and the people of the
United States have every reason to be
proud of their soldiers. But there are
other armies within the borders of
the Union which constitute strong
er bulwark of national strength, and
an even more legitimate source of ma
tional pride. They are Americas
great school armies. now just about to
reassemble after the vacations.
Here, indeed, America need fear no
comparison, numerical or otherwise.
with any part of Europe. Several of
the greatest military forces in the
world would have to be put together
to make the equivalent of the number
of boys and girls, young men and
| young women, who are now receiving
instruction throughout the United
States in an infinite variety of educa-
tional institutions.
According to the Bureau Education
the school enrolment for the year
ending June, 1902 was 17,46O, 900.
This is the latest complete total avail
able; but, according to the normal
rate of increase, 1t must now be we'll
over eighteen millions. OF this great
total the school children proper those
in the elementary grades of public
and private schOols-numbered 16, 479-
III. Next in order came the 734, 760
secondary students in public and pri
vate high schools, in academies and
seminaries in the preparatory depart
ments of universities and colleges,
and in the non-professional classes in
public and private normal schools.
The college bows and college girls
numbered 246, 063-this total compris-
ing, in official language, all students
of higher education in universities
and colleges, professional and normal
schools"
The mind refuses at first to grasp
the significance of these great totals,
but a few comparisons will help.
Americas school enrolment exceeds
by about million the combined pop
ulation of Switzerland, Norway,
Greece, Bulgaria, Denmark and Ser
via-all sovereign States. The ele-
mentary school children alone equal
the population of these six States.

of special interest to the investing
public, who have been inclined to con-
slider the whole Vermilion district as
correlated with very rich iron de-
posits at Tower and Ely, both in the
Soudan formation of the Archean
series.
The theory of the origin of the
Lake Superior ores from secondary
concentrations by atmospheric waters
from sedimentary deposits of ancient
origin, which in part have been pre-
cipitated from an ocean by organic
agencies as carbonates and silicates
of iron, is sustained by the report on
the Vermilion district.
The report includes brief chapter
on mining methods and one on the re-
lations of topography and structure.
Also chapter on the glacial history
of the district, and very interesting
resume Of the geological history of
the area.
The atlas and maps accompanying
the report are elaborate and detailed,
and will prove of great value in future
exploration work in the district. 1t
has been claimed that there are
minor errors in the mapping. but con-
sidering the large area mapped and
the difficulty of locating exposures in
timber and drift-covered country
this can hardly be considered a fair
criticism. More than that, the ex-
ceedingly complicated geology of the
district leaves the way open for var
ious interpretations of the observed
outcrops. The report has the merit
of admitting the questions of doubt
on its maps and in its discussions.
The work is, as whole, a credit
able addition to the series of mono
graphs on Lake Superior geology, and
will help to make clearer the general
problems of geology and economic
which have been the work of this d.
vision of the United States Geological
Survey for nearly quarter of GEN.
