Prosperity in the State.

R EPORTS of the National banks throughout the
AN state show that so far as indicated, by these
financial barometers, Delaware is in a prosperous
condition In the rural banks the deposits of the last
few years show gratifying increase People in those
sections have money if the bank statements are a
manifestation Of it. It appears somewhat strange
that in the fruit belt where the peach crop last year
was almot a failure, the deposits continue the in
crease 1t was only few years ago that these banks
depended upon the returns from the peach sales to
swell their deposits to unusual size.
But the growing of other crops has made the people
less dependent upon the peaches and their inde-
pendence is shown in the financial institutions.

Sturdy Children is by lntelli-
gent Feeding.
An Iowa mother tells of the naturally
correct instinct Of her 5-year-old boy.
She says he thinks there is nothing
equal to Grape Nuts for breakfast.
when he was a little baby he was
puny and pale. and to find the right
food TO properly nourish him was a
.didicult problem. When he got to be
about 10 months old we commenced
using Grape-Nuts food in our family
and 1 began feeding him a little mois-
tened with milk. We all like Grape
Nuts. but he liked it especially well.
1T agreed with him. He began to
grow plump and rosy. and for years he
has scarcely eaten a breakfast without
a dish Of Grape Nuts. and he usually
eats nothing else He wants IL and
will take no substitute. He has never
been sick and today is remarkably
robust child with a fine muscular de-
veiopment. and a quick. active brain
by far the heaithiest and strongest

children.

TUESDAY. DECEMBER 5. 1905
PRESIDENT MESSAGE

THE President message read in Congress to-day
a and reported by our Publishers Press service
is, Rooseveltian. That explains it. The message
says things just as the President does things 1t is
a clear cut unflinching document. The President
plunges into the railway question. He handles 1t as
would man intensely interested in the welfare OF his
country and bent upon securing justice on all sides.
This part of the message is calm and effective There
is no appeal of the demagogue and there is no smooth
ing over of the alleged evils After all, the Presi-
dent merely wants square deal in handling this
momentous question.
The President quickly disposes of the idea of Ma
tonal Ownership of railroads and the assertions that
the great army Of employees would be injured by hav
ing their wages reduced should such plan Of govern
ment regulation be put in force. He asks for IN
creased government authority not only in the inter-
est Of the public but in the interest of the honest
railroad man and the shipper alike, forit is they who
are chiefly eopardized by the practices of their dis
honest competitors.
The Presidents idea Of the railway regu-
lation is to give the Commissioners power to de-
eide upon the case being brought before them,
whether a given rate prescribed, is reasonable and
Just and if found otherwise, theR to prescribe rate
beyond which it shall not be lawful to 90 the maxi
mum reasonable rate. The President favors a law
making it illegal to pay commission on freight ship
mens whether in this form in the form of fictitious
damages or of concession, free pass, reduced
passenger rate or payment of brokerage The maxi
mum rates prescribed shall be subject to review by
the courts All the President seeks is the prevention
of discrimination between shippers. No shipper
should have an unfair advantage over his compet-
tors.
The President calls attention to the need of safety
appliances and the prevention of prohibiting OF eI-
cessive hours of labor for the employees Of the rail-
roads.
Congress is urged to consider the question of the
regulation Of the large National insurance corpora
tons An exposition of the Monroe doctrine,
naturalization laws, honesty i'll departmental services,
the condition Of the army and navy and the public
finances are also touched upon. The message Of
the President is well worth reading. His suggestions
should be dgested. There is not dull line in the
whole state paper.

Theatrical Notes

Flo Irwin. a sister of the comedienne
May irwin. heads the list of attractions
.at the Garriek Theatre this week, pre-
senting, with the aid of Walter Hawley
a one-act farce entitled Caught With
the Goods" Miss IrWin's work is really
excellent and ii is very evident that she
is not passing through vaudeville on
the reputation OF her well-known sister.
She reminds one of May Irwin but she
has little ways of her own that give
both character and Individuality. and
when she laughs her audience laughs
with her. Caught With the Goods"
bids fair TO make a big hit at Manager

Hebrews Mourn TheIr Dead.

ETTTINGLY did the Hebrews of this city yester-
4 day commemorate the slaughter of their fellows
who are so unfortunate as to be subjects to the Gar
of Russia At this distance and in this country it is
hard to realize the frightful atrocities of the mad
dened Russians who, at every political uprising
seize a pretext for massacreing the Hebrews
Many of the latter in this country have relatives and
friends in Russia who are in peril of death at the
hands of assassins and there appears to be no way
to rescue them from their peril.
The recent Russian slaughters may be expected to
increase the tide of Jewish immigration to this coun-
Try In the United States and in Russia are the great
centers of Jewish population. New York is the
greatest Hebrew city of the world Many of the
Jewish immigrants halt there and the influx to that
city viii be much larger than ever before. The pre-
udice against the Jews in Russia is due partly TO
their religion and largely TO them because of their
ability in mercantile and other pursuits. Hebrews
are much more acute than the average Russian and
prosperity of even the lowest type for the Russian
Jew rankles in the hearts of the uneducated Russian

Canada is figuring on 100000 new
settlers this year. Last year the
Canadian provinces received $4,000
settlers, $4,000 of which were from the
United States. The Canadian govern
ment is spending thousands of dollars
in Great Britain, where it has travel
ing cars decorated with trophies en-
blematic of Canadian agriculture.
The government is also at work in
Belgium and other European centers.
Now don't get jealous. They need a
few more people over the line to settle
up the country, cultivate the soil and
reduce the temperature maximum from

"Why the Poor Cannot Eat Meat''
is the caption of an able and fiery
editorial in the conservative Mime
polls Tribune of the 9Th inst. The
Tribune truly says the meat combine
is the worst combine of all, for it not
only robs the raisers of beef, pork
and mutton, but robs the consumer as
we'll, and concludes with this terrific
arrangement:
"These mushroom aristocrats Of the
dirty dollar are leading the American
people towards, the condition of the
Russian moujik under the grand
dukes, or of the French peasant under
the last Bourbuns. History points
out the end of that path, if persisted
in. It is a new path for the American
workman, and he will not tread it
patiently. He has not even the com
pensation of a sentimental loyalty to
an ancient line of kings or of inherited
service to the brilliant and gallant
nobility whose high personal qualities
dazzle us still in. the pages of Burke.
We must go without meat, forsooth,
because herd of greasy Chicagonese,
whose grandfathers probably carried
hods, may wear evening clothes at
breakfast and hire decayed dukes to
marry their daughters.
"These are the same human type as
the shrewd and grasping plebeians
who served the Bourbon dynasty as
farmers of the revenue and starved
the peasantry with taxation to feed the
luxury of the nobility. There is a
grim story of one of these who, being
told that the people had no bread, ad-
vised them to eat grass. The people
remembered his advice. When his
cory head paraded the streets OF
Paris uplifted on a pike, a sardonic
joker of the mob stuck a wisp OF
grass between the grinning lips.
IF the gentlemen of the meat trust
cannot sleep between their silken
sheets because of worry over injunc-
tion suits, they might while away the
small hours by reading the earlier
chapters of Carlyle's French Revolu-
ton. It has a fine. lively style and
impressive realism, and conveys a
universal moral.''

When a good measure like the rail

When a good measure like the rail
road rate bill gets to the front there
is surfeit of praise and all kinds of
endorsement, and the country goes
wild over the same. Congress looks,
wise, and possibly may pass an ex--
purgated edition of the bill. Then
another stage of the process is
reached. It is time for action, but
the steam is all gone. Minnesota has.
had several laws governing railroad
rates and the powers of the railroad
and warehouse commission, but still
the people are looking for relief, and
yet we are an old State. Vigorous
enforcement and hard blows in the in
terests of the people are the only
things that count. Commissions and
salaries are not alone sufficient.

'OdaY an outsider. liVinc

Today an outsider, living in an
other state can loan money in this
State at seven per cent interest and
can collect and pocket the whole of
that seven per cent for his own use,
but if resident of Minnesota makes
a loan to his neighbor at seven per

i The New Era is right. Under exist

escapes taxation. It will require a
constitutional amendment to remedy
matters. A registry tax of one-half

ten times more than is produced under
the present system. The legislature
