much the result Of what few men OF

be all that these thousands Of his fel-

Look here" said Senator Crane of
Massachusetts to Senator Knox OF
Pennsylvania. Let's go and get
something to eat"
They are new members and they de-
cided to flock together. They went
to the Senate restaurant. The head
waiter. usually quick on the trigger as
to new senators, did not recognize
them, and gave them seats In the
room given over to the common peo-
pie.
Knox and Crane sat down. Looking
through the doors they saw many Of
their colleagues feasting In state in
the inner room. They tried to get q
waiter, but none came at their call.
Finally a newspaper reporter who
knew them both came by.
Say" he said. you do not eat
here"
"Great Scott!" said Knox, cant we
get anything to eat anywhere?"

Now for the Real VOL.

There Il no doubt that the great
battleship to be built for our navy,
and which viii be the mightiest war vessel
IN the world, will bc named Delaware, in
honor Of our little State.
Yesterday at Washington, at a con-
ference between President Roosevelt,
Secretary Of the Navy Bonaparte and
Senator Alice, it was practically agreed
that unless Congress should require spe-
officially that the battleship should be
called Constitution, she would be named
Delaware.
There is hardly a possibility that Con-
gress viii specify the name of the new
battleship by law so that it is now practi-
Cally settled that Delaware will be her
name
But this honor imposes'a great RESPONSE
bility upon the people Of our little State,
and one that may prove to be burden
Of tremendous proportions.
1t is the unwritton law that the people
Of the State after which a battleship is
named, or Of a city after which a cruiser
Or other kind Of war vessel is named,
,hall bcsto~ upon the vessel a silver
service, as fitting recognition Of the
compliment. 10 the gunboat Whining
ton tho people Of Wilmington presented
q silver punch bowl and glasses
But a much costlior and more elaborate
testimonial will be required for battle
ahip. That Of the people Of Pennsylvania
TO the battleship Pennsylvania repre-
sented cost Of between $4,000 and
100000 Would anything less in cost
and consequence than this Pennsylvania
testimonial be fitting for the great battle
lhip Delaware
Here is the tremendous task that con-
fronts us: The presentation, by the people
Of the smallest State in the Union. Of q
fitting testimonial to the largest battle
ship in tho world.
Let every agency that participated ir
tho work Of securing for the State th,
honor Of having this great engine of nava
warfare named Delaware now get to worl
and raise money for the purchase Of tn,
testimonial. Let other agencies Join il
the effort. For Delaware must do th,
right thing by her namesake, the giant o
our navy, the greatest Of warships, or b,
Ehamed in the eyes Of the entire country.

Tar,,f Robbery In Watches.

The protectionists Of the country
particularly the "standpatters have
received no harder blow than the prac-
tical demonstration of the effects of tariff
taxation which was afforded by the enter
prising merchant in New York City who
imported American watches from foreign
markets and sold them here for lower
prices than the Watch Trust permits it's
home agencies to sell them for. The
operations of this New York dealer were
fully related in Every Evening several
weeks ago, and last week IN the House
of Representatives at Washington, the
process was duly explained by Repre-
sentative Rainey Of Illinois, TO the great
horror Of all staunch friends Of the pro-
tectivo tariff
Representative Rainey illustrated his
speech most practically with photographs
and with watches which had been actually
purchased in New York City at large
reduction from Trust prices. He showed,
also, the contracts by which the agents
Of the Watch Trust in this country are
bound not TO retail the Trusts watches
at less than the Trusts prices. And 80
high are the latter, compared with the
prices at which the Trust sells its surplus
products in the competitive markets of
Europe sells them at a profit too
that this New York dealer could buy
Trust watches in London and other foreign
cities pay freight on them TO this country,
pay tariff taxes, and then undersell the
Watch Trust agencies in New York City.
A watch which the Trust compelled its
agents to charge 500 for, this dealer sells
at s42.30. A cheaper watch for which
the Trust exacts SIG, is sold by this dealer
at s1S9s.
II Is no wonder that such an effective
object lesson has thrown the tariff "stand-
patters" into confusion. They cannot
answer such arguments with platitudes
about protection to American labor. ="
American labor is simply Aeeced and
robbed by tariff extortion, and American
labor knows IT, And it need not be sur
prising if the American people speedily
become insistent in their demands for re-
form.

THE BATrLEsHIp FUND.

Editor Every Evening: The people of
Delaware will have big contract ON
hand il the great now battleship about
to be constructed shall be named the
Delaware, as now seems assured And
that contract will be the raising of n fund
for providing our naval namesake with
silver service, or other appropriate
testimonial.
When 1t is considered that Pennsvl-
vania raised 100000 for the silver service
for the battleship Pennsylvania. and
New York City raised about $4,000 for
its testimonial to the battleship New
York, it may be imagined what will be
expected of Delaware in appropriatelv
recognizing the compliment OF having tbe
greatest battlcship in the world named
in her honor
The people Of Delaware will have 10
hump themselves TO raise the large sun,
OF money that will be needed 10 square
themselves to the situation that con-
fronts them, and subscriptions from
order. ="
Now, as Senator Alice was largely in
strumental in having the name Of Dels-
ware selected for the monster addition
70 our navy, l suggest that it will be most
appropriate for Senator Alice to head the
list OF subscriptions to the testimonial
fund.
Let Senator Alice lead off in the proper
spirit and no doubt the people will follow

cause and cure Of pegeneraov.


A most interesting story comes from
Toledo Of the cure Of a degenerate boy
by surgical operation, coupled with an
explanation Of how he became a degen-
crate.
The subject Of the operation was boy
Of twelve years, Harold Hurley by name
For seven years he had been torment
TO his parents-wayward, wandering,
brutal and inclined to all kinds of viii
lainous outbreaks. Naturally he brought
up in the Juvenile Court, and It was then
that the investigation was started which
resulted in the discovery Of the cause Of
his degeneracy and the operation which
effected a cure
During his examination in the Juvenile
Court, physician discovered scar across
his forehead, and upon inquiry learned
that it had resulted from severe fall
he had sustained when only five years of
age. Continuing his investigation, the
physician discovered evidences Of pres
sure Of the bone upon the brain, whereupon
the lad was sent to a hospital for con-
tinuance Of the examination. An opera
tion was decided upon, and Il was found
that, as tho physician had diagnosed, the
bone was pressing upon the brain. The
pressure was relieved by the usual means.
Immediately upon his recovery Of con.
sciousness after the operation, great
change was noticed in the lad lie was
no longer sullen and brutal but loving and
good. Particularly was the change notice
able in his attitude towards his mother
to whom his conduct had been most un-
filial The parents of the boy then re-
called that up to the time OF his sustain
ing the fall when FIVE years Of age, he had
been loving and aifectionate child. The
change came after the accident
This incident may have an important
bearing upon the treatment of degenerates.
Il is not TO be presumed that all such arc
victims Of bone pressure upon the brain.
but the degeneracy of many Of them may
be due to some well defined physical de
feet. The field is an inviting one for
study by specialists.

oettlng Near an Aereement.

The calm and deliberate manner in
which the United States Senate has con-
sidered the Railroad Rates bill, and the
thorough manner in which the measure
has an discussed, together with the
very able nature Of the discussion, have
combined to bring the opposing elements
very near 20 the point Of agreement as
TO what the bill should provide for. It
is now announced that a majority Of the
members of the Senate are favorable TO
amending the bill so as to cover these
points:
There shall be no limitation Of review
Il shall cover questions OF law as well as
constitution.
shippers. communities and associa-
tions, as we'll as carriers, may avail them
selves OF appeal to the courts.
Provision will be made to carry cases
direct to the Supreme Court from the
Circuit courts and for expediting them
ia both courts.
II the new and lower rate is suspended
the carrier shall file bond to indemnify
shippers in case it is restored by the courts.
Provision will be made that a rate shall
not be set aside by the Circuit Court ex-
ocpt after notice and hearing.
What a contrast the action Of the Sem
ate affords 10 the action Of the House In
the latter body this bill was given scant
consideration, and, notwithstanding that
manifest defects IN its construction were
pointed ont. Il vas rushed through with
out attempt at amendment, at the dicta-
tion Of the Speaker Of the House and the
behest Of the President of the United
States.
The calm, deliberate and businesslike
procedure Of the Senate may not be
gratifying 10 the President, who endeav-
ored TO force the measure through the
Senate just as it has been railroaded
through the House, but il is highly credit
able 10 the Senate. The latter has proved
itseli TO be a deliberutive body, in this in
stance Al least.

Oh, the music Of the robin, in yonder apple

They bring the Easter gladness again to
you and me,
In the woods the flowers are peepinr.
From many loWly bed,
And the blossoms IN the orchard
Rock In broeZea over head,
All nature seems 40 happy, every bush and
every tree
Has a leaf Of hope and gladnsss. for you
and me.
But the sweetest source OF joy
Comes not from the things without
Though they cheer. and make Us thoughtful
And drive away our doubt:
But the WY suffering Saviour, the Man of
Galilee,
He onngs the JOY of Easter, so full. tn
you and me.
He is the Rose OF Sharon,
The bright and morning star
The Lily Of the Valley,
Who pushed the gates aiar;
The glorious King Of Heaveni The Man %

Who brings the Easter gladness, to you

According TO present indications. the
battleship Connecticut, which is being
constructed at the New York Navy Yard
by the government, will cost about
100000 more, and be much longer in
process Of building, than the battleship
Louisiana, which is being built by con-
tract. There is nothing surprising in
this, however. Government work of all
kinds is much more costly than work done
under private auspices

Delaware. The suggestion is a good one
and no doubt the Senator will respond
appropriately.
