doubles the output of cotton mill, all
the cotton mills install it at once becau-e
they must. When a government in Au-
stralasia shows tine world what laws a g
needed TO give employment to idle but
willing workers. to make happy homes,
TO fill the country with joyous happy
children, It takes the o,d world long
time to throw of its old laws and Gus
toms and adopt the new and better laws
whose efficiency has been proven beyond
a doubt.
But the people only need the Initiative
and Referendum to adept enc by one
every desirable feature and custom en-
inyed by other nations. It must be done
slowly for suden changes m existing
laws are not desirable. Even a change in
taxation should be announced long in ad-

sldered and it's effects prepared for. But
strange as it may seem the most i'm

to the way in which taxes are imposed
The people have a right TO decide for
themselves how taxes shall be impose d
and how the money shall be spent Now
we eject representatives who decide these
most important questions fer us, and

vc tcs wou d indicate that he did not; Col
cnei dupont has bought and paid for his

that he was not even considered on Sat

as to who furnished the money. We hesi-
ta.e TO credit the charge without more
evidence. But if We are satisfied that
such was the case we shah not hesitate

well-foundei we hope the man who gave

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

quently tested that am able to declare
with certainty what / would do In any
given case; but with the white race
united in OPPOSITION to the black race
no fighting, II you please, not for me.
The bold and militant spirit of DR..
Thornton scorns pacific measures. He
would fight. Wen, let him. Suicide is
common among those who lack the
courage or the skill to meet the prob
lens incident to life. When / fight
from choice there must be at least the
possibility of success. Nor would
knowingly invite others to a course Of
action which would mean for them
swift and inevitable disaster.
1t should be remembered, however,
that the doctor is an exotic. He has
not lived all his life in fair Delaware
nor learned to love the state and her
people because his memories interests
and affections are anchored here. At
the first sign Of personal danger he can
leave n he so desires. All are not 30
situated.
Let Delaware men do their own talk
ing on the point at issue and act or
not as seems TO them wise. We preach
crs and other transcient dwellers should
content ourselves with suggestion and
advice, and refrain from dictatlon. We
should refrain also from caustic and
condemnatory criticism directed toward
each other. No good cause is helped
thereby.
Very respectfully,

in this county. 1t should win by good major

nominations were made after free and fair,
open fight Every Republican had an equal
chance at the polls. Not single charge OF un-
fairness has been made by any OF the defeated
aspirants for the county Offices. That OF itself
is high commentator of the ticket
The Republicans have made good records as
county office holders They have administered
their duties we'll The people of New Castle

Put On Closed Cars.

Editor The Evening Journal
! think 1t Is about time the local troll
ley companies were changing their roll
ing stock. tThe time for the open sum-
mer car Is at an end. why the railway
companies persist i'm keeping the open
cars on the line when the mercury is
almost ~ the freezinr point is more
than I can understand. Surely they
have a sufficient number OF closed or
winter cars to run on the various lines
throughout the city. II had been
charged that they changed the trucks
from the summer car TO the winter car
al the end Of each season. but as this
would show a woeful lack OF material,
do not think this Is the case. How
ever II the open cars are run much
longer the citizens and the press should
should rise up IN their wrath and de-
mand That the public accommodations
be improved and the winter cars put on
the lines A ride IN an open car these
mornings is enough to freeze anybody.

Spelling Merely Matter Of Fashion

The spelling of English words is
largely a matter of fashion, and has
varied, like the fashions in clothes.
from generation to generation, and
still more from century to century.
There is no logic, rule, on natural law
about it. The rules which govern it
depend entirely upon custom, and the
variations which occur in the preva-
lent custom from times to time have
their origin chiefly in the composing
rooms of printing shops, just as the
variations in the cut or colour of
clothes originate in the shops of the
miIliners aud tailors. That so much
Importance should be attached to the
spelling of words in accordance with
the fashion Of the day. and any de
parture from this fashion be regard
ed as "A Supremely comic exhibition Of
booriSh ignorance, only shows how
we are dominated by the tyranny of
the majority and the force of habit.
