to perform the task Well, we do
not know as they can be blamed very
much, as the force of habit is so
strong that they can hardly help
attempting such things. They have
not yet learned that the people are

The publishers of The Independent
want agents everywhere to canvass
for subscriptions and sell Mr. Berge's
new book, 1.-THE FREE PASS BRi-
Berry SYSTEM" See advertisement
of book elsewhere in this paper. We
receive hundreds of orders through
the mails. 1t is the only book writ
ten upon a subject IN which the peo-
pie are just now vitally interested.
The people everywhere will want the
book. Ex-Governor Larabee of Iowa
ordered ten books before same were
off the press. We receive orders from
all parts Of the country. This book
is a seller. All you have to do is to
tell about it. You can make 800 per
month. Write at once for terms.

The Standard Oil pirates are hard
ened criminals and are not lodging
subpoenas to avoid perjuring them
selves upon the witness stand. They
dread the witness stand, well know
ing that if they testify to that which
is not true they may ultimately land
in the penitentiary.

vote In the senate is cast against per-
nicious amendments and for the final
passage of the bill, the democratic
party will receive the credit in case
it becomes law. If it Is defeated
under such circumstances it will sig
nalize the doom of the republican
party.

Senator Bailey of Texas IS an able
lawyer and an experienced and skill
full legislator capable of instantly de-
tecting the intention and scope of any
amendment that may be offered to
the rate bill now before the senate.
The senator takes a just pride in his
great legal attainments. He has an
opportunity now to use them in the
service of his country. If the demo
cratic senators will stand pat with
Roosevelt for rate regulation, 1t will
unmask republican hypocrisy and has
ten the advent of the day of a grand
democratic jubilee.

When the people become thoroughly
aroused and line of political battle
is distinctly drawn between them
selves and the confederate monopo-
lies, it will become as dangerous to
attempt the corrupt use of money in
an election as it is 70 steal horses in
Arizona or New Mexico.

thought and association that many
who originally selected their party,
after a lapse of time become fused
into the party mass, and their powers
of reasoning becomes so warped and
weakened that they ever afterwards
know their party by name only, and
apparently loose the power to dis
criminate between right and wrong
politically. Experience teaches us
that the percentage of men is large
who become mentally indolent, and in
whom progress ceases between the
fortieth and fiftieth years of their
life, so that they are never afterwards
able to extricate themselves from er-
tions, to the extent of quitting the
party with which they have been long
connected. With many, the political
party that they vote with and uphold
is as purely an accident, as was the
land of their birth or the color of
their skin.
The class just referred to are not
less patriotic or honest than Others.
They are simply Intellectually defec-
tive. Many of them are so oblivious
of their true condition, that they mis-
take their inability to know and to-
do the thing that become man for
steadfastness to some principle which
they can no more define than they
can fly. Their trouble is not of the
heart but of the head.
The ignorant freely offer themselves
as soldiers when their country has
battles to fight. They do SO because
the patriotic and moral sentiment is
we'll developed in them. They offer
their lives in defense of country and
home Beyond this morality cannot
go. Such conduct, however, is not
evidence Of high intelligence because
history is replete with instances of
victims of tyranny and oppression, of
fering up their lives on the battle
field, in the name of country, while
at the same time they were fighting
against their would-be liberators. The
sacrifices men have made in the past
in the name of country, when in fact
they were fighting to uphold tyran-
nical governments to further oppress
and plumber themselves and their
children, finds a counterpart today in
the men who are voting to uphold in
dustrial despotisms to despoil their
country and enslave their children, and
and doing so, unwittingly, because
they have become fused into the mass
of certain political party and seem
incapable Of doing any different.
Happily, however, evidence of the
intellectual evolution of our average
citizen is putting in an appearance,
as the result of popular education, and
a wider dissemination of intelligence
through the public press, and on ac-
count of accumulated experience in
matters pretaining to government.
There are unmistakable signs today
that the average individual possesses
a greater capacity for the discharge
of the duties of citizenship than ever
before. The scales are dropping from
the eyes of many that have heretofore

Several bills are pending in con-
gfess to take the tax off of alcohol
for industrial purposes. This, by all
means ought to be done, and can be
done to the great advantage Of the
people without affecting the revenues
of the government The chief chemist
of the agricultural department at
Washington and other eminent chem
lists state that denatured alcohol is
undrinkable on account of excessive,
bad taste and oder. Germany allows
the free manufacture of alcohol for
industrial purposes, and the amount
SO manufactured annually amounts to
fGG,00G,00G gallons. By allowing free
alcohol Germany has become the
chemical laboratory of the world,
The amount of alcohol now made in
the United States for other purposes
than drink is small and brings the
government but little revenue. It is
said that Standard Oil influence is be-
ing exerted against the proposed
measure, as free alcohol would de-
prive them Of large market for oil
and gasoline for heating and lighting
purposes. The measure is so palpably
in the interest of the public that It
ought to pass without OPPOSITION. If
it become a law 1t will make an en-
larged market for corn and other pro-
ducts of the farm that can be used
in the manufacture of alcohol.

that inasmuch as the state legisla-
ture has cut down the passenger rate
to two cents mile they must cut
off all free passes and cut rates to the
favored classes. They say that by
SO doing they will still be able to col
lect as much money from the passen-
ger traffic as formerly. This is con
firmation of what we have always
claimed, namely, that the patrons of
the road paid the fare of all who rode
on passes, or received cut rates.

Why don't congress insist that the
railways of the United States haul
mail cars for the government at as
law rates as they haul express cars
for the express companies? Because
the congressman and senators owe
their election to railroad influences
and therefore dare not oppose the mail
contract graft of the railroads.
The independent., 1906-03-15

If the railroads were shorn of po-
litical power there would not long re-
main a deficit in the postal eypendi-
lures Of the government, because con-
gressmen and senators would then see
to it that mail cars are hauled over
the lines as cheaply as express cars.
If this were done the postoffice de-
partment would show surplus, in
stead of deficit change the end Of

Some Improvements Considered by the

Some improvements Considered BY the
Levy Court Today.
AT the meeting of the Levy Court this
morning State Highway Commissioner
Price reported having examined Nolley
road between the Lancaster turnpike
and the Limestone road, a distance of a
mile, and found it in bad condition As
the road commissioners of Mill Creek
hundred offer to pay 81 600 toward the
cost Of building the road and the citizens
also offer to contribute 5000 Mr.. Price
recommended that, il the Levy Court can
see its way clear to do the work, It would
be well to accept the offer and build the
road He thought II would be an ex-
cellent example to the road commissioner
Of other hundreds and probably they
would contribute towards building a
piece Of road every year.
The following was adopted:
Resolved, That the report of r. A.
Price, highway commissioner for New
Castle county on the Valley road, be re-
ceived and recorded. and that the matter
be held for further consideration until
the time Of arranging for the various
/ appropriations, when the funds that may
be available for road purposes may be
thoroughly considered.
President McFarlin produced two sets
Of plans for the improvement Of Red
Lion causeway. The plans and specifi-
cations were read and the president was
authorized to advertise for bids on each
plan and submit them to the court.
A motion was made by Mr.. Salmon
that Francis Caswell Of New Castle
be appointed inspector OF the work Of
building Fennimore,s bridge, at 50 per
day from now until the bridge is COM
| pleted.
Mr. Brown asked that a conference be
held to see if someone else would not be
suitable for the position. Mr.. Salmon said
that there was no use dilly-dallying over
the matter and he called for the question.
Mr. Brown asked for yea and nay vote
which was taken, and resulted in MessTs.
Brown and Hopkins voting nay and
Messrs. Salmon, Scott, Greenfield, Logue

Absence Of Contest Has Detracted
From the Interest.
In view of the fact that there is no
probability of a contest, interest in to-
nights election of officers OF the Fire De-
partment is not as great as it otherwise
would be, and some of the fremen be-
lieve that the vote will not represent the
full strength of the department, although
some of the companies are making an
effort to get out OF their full strength.
The newly-elected officers will assume
charge on Tuesday, May 22d, when the
retiring officers viii turn over the keys
to their Successors. There is some talk
Of a formal demonstration in connection
with the change, but no definite plans
have been arranged.
A movement was started today look

parade, to be participated in by some
