FARMERS DISSATISFACTION

Grangers and farmers of lower Della
ware are criticising the State Board OF
immigration. Throughout Kent and
Sussex counties there is howl because
the last Legislature passed an appro.
priation of ,S1000 to enable the Bard to
bring farm help to lower Delaware.
They say the Board has failed to act.
Governor Lee will I've asked to explain
the reason that the appropriation has not
been drawn, and the effort made To OBJ
tain desirable farm help.
Governor Hum two years ago in addi-
tion to appointing the State Board Of Ag-
riculture as the Board of Immigration
also appointed prominent German
American OF Wilmington, to act in con-
junction with Messrs. SIaymaker, Messick
and Shallcross. The press in Germany
was freely used in advertising Delaware,
and when the immigrants reached Balti-
more they were met by the agent in
charge. Maps OF the State and descrip-
tive particulars we're sent broadcast, and
as consequence 200 farmers have located
in lower Delaware. The German farm
hands have given such general satisfac-
ton that the grangers are demanding

AN AMERICAN PRODUCT

In this country OF ours as IN no
other on the face of the globe may
it be said with truth that the boy
of energy and spirit, no matter
how disheartening his start III
life may be, can hno broad paths
plainly blazed before him leading
to the summit where honor, fame
and competence cluster. This is
thecase truly, no matter in which
direction the ambition of the
youth may lean.
This factis forced freshly upoL
us by the announcement that
John Green Brady, who has for
nine years held the post of Gov
ernor of Alaska, and left u record
to which he can point with pride,
has resigned that position.
Surely the life starting Of no
American boy could have been
moresadly handicapped than was
that of John Green Brady. A
waif in the streets of New York,
homeless and penniless he was
picked up as are hundreds OF
others by agents of the Chill
dren'S Aid Society, who found
for him q home in the West.
This was his start. but upon that
slim foundation he built career
that carried him through Yale
College and Union Theological
Seminary.
He never forget, however, the
handicap of his start, and it was
the work he was doing TO aid
other waits to betterment, that
attracted the notice of President
Mckinley to him. and in 1897 the
latter appointed him Governor of
Alaska, which position he held
until his resignation.
tits but an instance, an item
in current history making, this
life example, of John Green
Brady, but we feel ike empha-
sizing it that our boy readers
may catch the inspiration. just
such life histories always appeal
to the wide-awake American boy.

FAIR PLAY AGAIN

iaignment Of the Light and Water Com
mission. Now, let usconsider moment,
what has the gentleman ever done for the

in any responsible position in the town?
Has he ever done anything but pay his
taxes, vote when he felt like it, and kick
all the time? Is that fair play? | do not

they are using light aud water to the tune
OF $500. 90 year without paying for them.
That is very serious accusation, aud |

missioners, hnt presume that defense
was thought UNNECESSARY. ! asked above
"what the gentleman had ever done for
the town." Does he realize what the COM
mission has done for our town? Daes he
realize the fact that in the face Of very
many dispnuragements, failure OF well

to supply enough water to put out fire.
They have spent many weary hours In
studying out the water problem and in
skillfully financing their affairs in their
anxiety to lessen the burden upon
the town as muGll as possible. II Is
very easy to say these gentlemen
should do thus and so Mr.. Hoffecker,
hut could yoH or any other man do
any better? Consider all the conditions
under which they have worked. They
have through the water plant saved the
town from disastrous confagrations more
than once, and now some one says with
holy horror "why these men don't pay for
their light and waterp Terrible! terrible!
Just to think of ii! The writer does not
know whether they do or not, he does

be commended for not noticing unjust

they can be made, not by any sort of a
Picayune criticism, but by harmony Of
action. Stop kicking brother, and fall in
