CHANGERS COMMEND ROOSEVELT.

THE Delaware State Grange is conservative
u organization which pursues an even'tenor'
ever watchful OF the interests of the farmers and
standing for much that is for the good OF the
community. Ii includes among its members
many OF the prosperous and intelligent farmers.
II is a power in the land when it chooses to eN-
crt lis influence Farmers organizations OF
political nature have nourshed and fallen, but
the Grange has outlived all OF them.
Delaware Grangers are pronouncedly IN favor
Of the Presidents attitude towards the rebate
question and heartily indorsc him. The Grang-
crs also commend the decision of the railroad
company to abolish free passes.
AS expected, the Grangers favor education and
good roads. The roads question is ono of the
livest that can be brought before the rural folk
for consideration. Any suggestions OF the
Grangers toward improving our system of roads
should be wisely considered. The people Of
Delaware are gradually waking up to the folly
and economic wastefulness OF poor roads. Be
fore many years our highways in all parts of the
State should be permanently improved Just
how to attain this desirable result is the ques-
ton

VICTIMS OF THE sHYLocKs.

nNE Of the evils Of the Shylock loan system
- as practced in this community, is that it
bears most heavily upon the persons who can
least afford to be drained of their resources.
Persons OF property or Of larger means, can
secure loans when needed, on safe terms and at
a reasonable rate Of interest. But the Shylocks
take advantage OF the misfortunes and the tim
idness OF their victims TO hlch from them the
enormous and usurious rates OF interest that they
demand.
Young men on salaries will sec from the Jour
nal expose how foolish it is 10 place themselves
in the SHARES Of the Shylocks. Better by far,
endure although cramped financially for the time
han fail prey Of the loan octopus

Backbrd is said TO be the one hundred OF the
county that is free OF debt This is creditable to
Blackbird 1t is a small hundred composed OF
rural folks. But there is fine land in Backbird
and in parts OF it the public roads are as good as
in any section OF the county The promised
revival of the fruit industry in Blaclbird-and
there are now there some of the finest young
peach orchards and vineyards to be seen in Del
aware-vill cause the agrculturists of that re-
gion TO become greatly interested in good roads
Blackbrd is a hundred OF long hauls The sta
tions are far distant from most of the farmers
and the delivering OF their products to places Of
transportation is a problem that conironts them
Good roads will reduce the required horse power
in pulling teams by at least one-third So the
road question becomes a practical one when
looked at in a business light

After Dinner Speeches.

Kansas City Star.
Curtis Guild, GovernOr-elect of Mass
achusetts, has announced a revolt
against after-dlnner speeches. AS Lieu
tenant-Goveinor, he has been in great
demand as a speaker He has been
ready, eloquent, and Witty. ana the
presumption has been that he was also
entirty willing. But having secured
the govenorship, he VOWS that he is
going to "cut OUT speechmakng eX-
cept when is necessary. And probably
even the popular Mr. Guild never made
a bigger hit as an afterdinner speaker
than he has made now when he pro
tests against the practice. Custom is a
mighty tyrannical thing sometimes
The custom of oratorical banquet
needs to be reformed. Vccy few who
attend banquets enjoy long speeches,
no matter how good they may be- But
committees on arrangement engage
orators and assign them heavy topics
because Gt has been customary to man
age these banquets on this windy plan
Orators respond with long speeches
because they are expected to make
long speeches. But down in Their
hearts few enjoy listening to hourlong
addresses, even il some of the spell
binders enjoy delivering them. The
truth Of the matter is that festivity
and formal oratory do not go we'll to-
gether. Short talks-ten minutes at
most-woUd be all right. Dinner spec
ches, like Sc. mons, are better for pth
and brevity.
