MINING MOST PROFITABLE
OF ALL INDUSTRIES.

despite it's load OF fraudulent
claims aud wildcat schemes, the min.
Ing industry has paid more money In
dividends compared with other indus.
tries started In the last thirty years
than any business known. Compare
the profits In mining with the profits
on the 1856, 900 odd miles Of railroad.
with the aggregate liabilities Of
nearly 800. 900. 900, then you will
rec which pays the most.
Under the wing Of mining there
exists some of the safest and most
profitable of all business enterprises.
Take, for instance. the twelve great
smelling companies--the mineral
pawnbrokers. The smelling com
psnies that do u strictly custom bust.
ness show absolutely and unqusstion-
ably the largest profits Of any In
dustry In America. There are In
stances where capital invested In
smelling companies has been turned
fve times In single year, and each
time the margin of profit has been
more than 20 per cent Of the entire
amoant handled. The objection fails
to realize that the very sinews of
commerce come from the mines aud
that they are the root OF nalf the sue
cessful industries In this country.
In 1901, 1902 aud 1903 there was
u steady. healthy increase Of pros
perity. Of the many millions pro.
duced from the mines the amount WAS
divided 50 that all avenues Of indus
try prohtsd. More than ~ per cent
went to railroad corporations, 81 per
cent to mine owners, fully Is per
cent tn the smelling works. while the
residue, IS per cent, was circulated
among the laboring elements. -

The most that can be safely said is
that it is sure to be a stubborn and

Anour YELLow JOURNALS.

With the following which we clip
from the Dover Index we agree in part
but it should have said more.
We have had too much newspaper
sensationalism about the Albin muir
der. The morbid desire to lay bare the
wounds and view the tragedy in all its
sickening details is yellow Journalism
that should be discouraged. Such pub
locations do not aid justice but iniure
the morals OF christian community.
A newspaper is presumed 10 be the
mirror held up to the community in
which practically an OF its doings are
reflected. There are those who believe
that crime hourishes under publicity,
while others hold that the best means
OF prevention lies in conccalment. We
might dismiss the question that lies
in these divergent views by remarking
that the people want all the legitimate
news. and are entitled to it. But there
Is more that should be said.
The faithful publication Of the chief
details Of a crime is often Of assistance
to the authorities. and it brings home
to the people actual conditions so that
they may apply whatever remedies
they have.
When such crimes are committed
here in Delaware the most reliable re-
ports are Invariably In the Delaware
papers. There Is a feeling Of response
blity and Of accountability that does
not influence the publications OF other
States In the Aibin murder case the
only true accounts from day to day
werc given by the Wilmington papers
In several Instances persons in this
city have asked why Philadelphia
papers published long interviews will
officials regarding this case which Tho
Wilmington papers did not have. II
those officials are asked they Will de-
clare the reason is that these inter-
views did not occur Tho trouble
about these things is that many Of our
paople win read the most sensational
accounts they can get and when they
learn that they arc false viii denounce
an newspaper reporters as being ia
the same class
We repeat that ia an important Del
aware matters our daily papers are
practically certain to give an that is
authentic. and that n yellow journals
are sought they must be brought in

EDITORIAL OPINION
Edison.
From tho New ork Tribune.

From the New ork Tribune
The homage just bestowed upon the
inventor Of the incan Iescent lamp by
his fellow electricians IN this country
was fully deserved No one can yet
rightly estimate Edison's service TO
civilization.It IS too soon to get the full
measure OF the usefulness of some of
the devices which he originated. I'm
portant additions TO their number, Il Is
reasonable 10 hope are yet 10 be made.
Already, however. his record is Won
derful ana brilliant. There Is eminent
propriety IN founding, in his name. a
medal TO encourage further research in
the science which he has done 20 much
to develop.
Unquestionaoly Edison's greatest
achievement was the perfection OF his
system OF lighting. This has not yet
entirely driven gas out OF use. but il
has found a wider application than any
one dreamed OF a quarter of a century
ago. It's beauty. convenience and odor-
less character have commended Il to
universal popularity. Though particu-
larly adanted 70 indoT illumination, it's
fitness for exterior decoration and for
advertising has greatly enlarged it's
sphere of usefulness. Next after his
lamp, Edison's quadruplex method Of
telegraphy Wa probably be regarded
as his most valuable invention. Among
the qualities which have enabled Edi-
son 10 achieve fame ana prosperity, one
Of the most onspicuous-perhaps the
most potent Of them all--is his splendid
persistence. As Toastmaster Martin
happily indicated the other evening"
the guest OF the electrical engineers
had no other educational advantng IS
than those Of the average newsboy.
Nearly every one Of the tasks which he
undertook was beset with numerous
technical difficulties, and these were
overcome only by patient study No
temporary defeat or failure discouraged
him. on the contrary, it lent fresh
stimulus to his ingenuity and determi7
nation. The influence OF such an exam
pie upon other inventors is inspiring i'm
the extreme; and those who believe
that genius is nothing more than ex-
ceptional industry and patience cer-
tainly have here an impressive illustra-
tion OF that doctrine.

congregation present. Among those who
took part in the service are the follow
ing: Miss Lizzie stidham, the president

of those who heard her; Mrs. r. S. Wei

pastor, the Rev. H. L. Bunstcln, spoke
earnestly and fsrcibiy on the subject Of

The Milford society is sixteen years old
and IS very vigorous always actively en-
gagged in some special work for the bene.

a large gain in membership during the
last few months. The attendance at each

Japan Desperately Poor.
1t is wen-known that while Japan
has made tremendous strides in the
development Of her resources and i'm
the instructions of her people in the
arts Of peace and war; she is also a
country that is desperately poor. While
1t is not exactly known what the aver
age holding Of land is ia Japan, 1t is
quite certain that the family group
has less land per capita than the family
group in Russia. The presumption is
then, that il the war continues, Japan
viii become exhausted as soon If not
sooner than Russia. She has already
gained a decided initial advantage. but
this war Will be quite different from
any other, if it turns out all the sur
prises are on one side"
What about Russias ability to
maintain her army in Manchuria?"
While it may be exceedingly diff
cult for her 10 recruit and supply an
army by the means Of a single line of
railroad 5000 miles long, it must not
be overlooked that Manchuria is a
country with a population variously
estimated at from 5.O0Q<OO to $15. 5.OOO.-
600 Of souls, and where so many people
are now living upon the products Of the
country Il is not to be presumed that
an army Of Russians will starve. In
the single item of mounted men Rus
sia has tremendous preponderance.
In any event IL would seem, therefore.
that unless one side or the other should
quit, before becoming completely, ex-
hausted, the war Is sure to be a long
and stubborn one. Even if Russia
should be driven back to the 'Amur, she
can there rest for reinforcements and
supplies until she can make her next
