Editor The Evening Journal
Why all this hubbub about the
weather? Why complain because we
have had a few days Of rain? The
weather is blamed for certain ills whose
real causes may not be conveniently
explained. Some imagine they get
gloomy because 1t Is cloudy. The state
Of the weather has nothing to do with
a mans mood. II he gives way to tho
blues" his condition will not be re-
lieved by either the blasts Of winter
or the genial warmth Of summer. The
fault Is not with the weather, but with
the man.
Happiness in this life comes from
conflict: misery from surrender and in
activity If a man is too lazy to crush
dependency, there is little hope for
him. Cultivate a cheerful mind. Look
for brightness. even though there be
none in sight. II people around you
seem gloomy cheer them up This is
generating happiness. Happiness
dwels within. Awaken It on a cloudy
day. Yours truly,

roRc1Na REspEcr FoR THE law.

A NEW YORK corporation organ has con-
n cluded that the best thing for the corpora
tons to do is to obey the law and then the feeling
which exists against them will be largely dis
pelled There is no doubt about this. Law
abiding public service corporations or even trusts
haze nothing to fear in the way of popular
wrath. The big corporations have so long been
guilty OF criminal lawbreaking, they have so ac-
cepted il as a matter of course that it is hard Tor
them to do as citizens must do-obey the laws
Of their country or go to Jail. The New York
Central Railroad Company has just been con-
victed and heavily fined for lawbrSaking. 1t gave
discriminating rebates. In other words It used
its power and influence to build up one trusts
business at the expense of Independent competi-
tors Such rebating is the acme of injustice. II
Is atrocious ethics What the New York Central
has done other railroad companies have done.
Trusts and other big corporations have engaged
in similar offences
The advice for the corporations to obey the
law is timely They might try it for while at
least II would be a novelty for them after their
long debauch of lawbreadng, but it might pay in
the end.
Attempts to obey the law might also be appll-
cable to the railroad companies which are dealing
with the employers liability act which was pass
I'd through Congress and has the approval OF
President Roosevelt Already the companies are
seeking to devise plans to upset this law, but the
government will intervene in any suits that may
be entered involving this law and every effort will
be made to uphold its constitutionality

SYSTEM
NEARLY READY
Expect Trains to Be Running
Over a Portion of it With.
in Few Months

Just when the new p. B. & W. rail-
road at Front and French streets Will
be completed is not known, even TO
the railroad officials themselves, but
the northern half Of the building.
which is to be used as soon as the
trains are running over the Il" road.
will be ready for service within a very
short time. Because Of the surface
tracks the south side Of the station
cannot be erected. as they are on the
ground to be occupied by the other half
Of the building. It is. therefore, nee
essary to have the tracks on the ele-
waited road in service before the south
side Of the station can be put up
With this idea in view the work on
the northern side Of the building has
been going forward rapidly and Is now
almost finished. The waiting room up
stairs is completed except as TO the
'rnishings. and the platform is now
1eing put down. The main entrance
rom the corner Of Front and French
treets is being completed and the
teps leading to the train platforms
ave already been erected. The side
ak is being cemented so as TO facili-
tte the passage OF travellers
The only portion OF the elevated road
on which a train has not yet been
operated Is that from the station north
to Lombard street. To-day for this
first time a train crossed Market street
and several cars were run up as fal
as French street. The cars are loaded
with dirt. which is used for filling ir
between the elevated walls. AS soor
as this work is finished the tracks viii
be permanently laid.
The work is being rushed as fast a,
large force of workmen can put il
through. and It is predicted that tn,
new station. or at least a part Of Il
and the elevated road from one end o.
the city TO the other, will be in servic,
by the first Of spring.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
b Everybody crazya

Editor The Evening Journal
That ninety per cent OF the inhabl-
tants OF the earth are either mono-ma-
MACS or rapidly becoming such. is
alarmingly apparent 20 a close observ-
ing mind.
Take, for instance. an average gath
ering of people, either at theatre
baseball game. In a bargain store, or at
any public gathering and watch them
closely and calmly, and see IL you don't
unhesitatingly pronounce them as be-
ing tainted with the mental malady
termed insanity.
The cause Of this is not dissipation
as supposed, but rather hereditary.
The human race is and always has
been a raving hoard of mono -maniacs.
Adam and Eve were crazy when they
stole the forbidden fruit. Who but q
couple Of lunatics would condemn
themselves and posterity to a life OF
hell for a couple Of green apples?
Cain was crazy when he killed Abel;
Pharoah when he prosecuted the chill
dren Of Israel, and drove them into the
Red Sea.
Pontius PLATE was mentally unbal-
anced when he cruclfied Christ for no
other reason than that Christ was a
good man, and even st. Paul admitted
king mad when he Cbefore conversion)
prosecuted the early Christians.
Regarding St. Peter, can anyone pro-
nounce a man sane who expresses a
wish to be cruciied head downwards.
You may just as well call suicides
sane Julius Caesar was undoubtedly
crazy to antagonize the inhabitants of
Rome to such an extent that his as
sassination followed; whilst Marc An
tony was stark staring mad to throw
away the Dominion OF Rome in order
to while away the time with a royal
courtesan like Cleopatra OF Egypt
Napoleon Bonaparte was as mad as
a March hare when instead of being
content to rule France in peace, he
conceived the crazy idea Of conquerina
the world and as a result got himself
strung by the heels on a barren rock
in the Mediterranean.
And so it is clear down the list. II
you take the trouble to analyze tht
motives and actions Of any great OF
lesser being IN this world you will fine
the chief Characteristic Of each Is
some form Of mania or another, clear
cut and well defined. II you doubt
this fact, just select a subject at ram
dom and size him up a trihe and the
imprisoned lunatic is docile till he 8:
stirred up. stir up the free lunati;
land see what transpires; either he at
tempts 10 assault you. tries to tear you
to pieces. or murders you. The i'm
prisoned lunatic can do no more. To bs
sure VIC all have our sane moments
so has the imprisoned lunatic. who is a,
gentle as lamb and talks as rationa
as a United States senator until he IL
stirred up.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election Of Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons Of One Dollarea from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam.

The Pure Food Law.

Editor The Evening Journal.
All hail to the Pure Food Lawl Now
when we buy a can labeled potted
chicken we can feel reasonably sure
that we are getting the real fowl. ana
not mixture of veal and other meats.
And IL the purchase should be apple
butter there will be some apples In It.
There has been urgent need for many
years Of such a law, as the American
people have been cheated IN nearly
everything they have had to eat and
wear. There is only one weak point in
the new law. which is that II may be
enforced too strictly. A point demon
strating this has arisen. It is this:
No American wine. IL is said. can be
styled Neufchatel unless these two ar
ticles be made at the foreign ports
where these products originated. The
American manufacturers claim. and II
seems to me that the point is we'll
taken, that neither Of these names sig
nifes the place or manner Of making
the products. but are merely the names
OF certain articles
OF course, If a package. for example,
should bear a label stating that the
American product had been made
abroad. either cheese or champagne,
then that package should be condemn
ed. To state the point briefly, the law
should not be enforced in too drastic
manner. If 1t is there may be a re-
action against the law, and the fruition
OF the efforts OF number OF men who
have labored for the bill would be de-
strOyed. Respectfully.
Common Sense.

WILL PAY THEM TO KEEP 1T UP.

A NNOUNCEMENT is made by Every Even
L ing that the Union Republican ticket will
not come down. Well, who expected it would?
Two years ago it was put up to force the Republi-
candidates to pay a big sum of money for 1t TO
come down. The hghwayman tactics worked,
and to two candidates $4,000 in cold cash was
paid. So successful was the game two years ago
that it is being worked again this year, but this
time the bood-money is to be drawn from the
Democratic candidates. OF course the ticket will
not come down. 1t will pay the men that are on
it more TO keep it on the ballot Instead of
Maltese cross the new emblem should have been
either thirty pieces of silver, brace of pistols,
or a sand-bag.

MAGAZINE FoR THE BLIND.

A MOST commendable charity is that Of
1 Mrs. William Zeigler wealthy widow Of
New York city, to provide a fund sufficient
to establish the necessary plant for and contin-
uing the publication of a monthly magazine for
the blind. The work suggested by Mrs
Zeiglers blind son. 1t will require large sum
of money for the plant and fund OF about ST.,
10000 to provide the estimated annual expense
OF the publication-$6ooo The magazine will
be printed in the raised characters which the
blind read by the sense Of touch. 1t will be dis
tributed free and also books Of instruction, to all
who apply Nothing like it has ever been at
tempted in the world, and Mrs Zeigler and her
afflicted son are creating world work and de-
serve great praise for It.

RUSH ON AT
THE POSTOFFICE
Business Of Septemb tx
Ceeded That Of the Christ
mas Season

Possibly no better indication Of the
general prosperity prevailing at the
present time in this city is the rapidly
increasing volume Of business being
transacted at the post Office.
So great have become the demands
unon tho t!r'e CT the employees there
that it was rid yt..eri1y by cne In

more cerss and carr ers that there
,sould be plenty for ~ 10 do. In orde-
to partially remedy this shortage, a
special civil service examination I'm the
Office WAS held about a month ago, thir-
teen men successfully passing it, four
of whom have since been appointed as
Substitute carriers.
In addition TO this. another eNamina-
tion will be held next month. although
those passing it will not be placed un-
iii slime time next July owing to the
workings OF the department.
Assistant Postmaster Jester. when
seen yesterday afternoon, stated that
the business transacted during the pas
September exceeded in volume that Of
any other month in the year includ.n
December. when the holiday trade is a
its height
II was also stated that since IN
opening Of the additional window a fcv
days ago that the former congestion
IN the corridors OF the building had
been greatly relieved. as before its
opening. the patrons OF the Office were
obliged 20 stand in line, sometimes
twenty deep. in order TO receive atten-

SUCH METHODS NOT coMMENDABLE

THE Kent county grand jury is getting after
4 the liquor men who are accused of violat-
ing the law with sharp stick. 1t appears detec-
tives have been located in different hotels to find
evidence against the proprietors In some in
stances as those related by Lewes paper, the
detectives tried to induce the proprietors to sell
liquor on Sunday. and even went so far as to
simulate sickness in the hope that the proprietor
would, out Of sympathy, yield to his deceitfu en-
treaty.
Such tactics are not 10 be commended What
a frightful crime it would be to sell sick man

should be suppressed, but there is no need in

ALLEE'S PREDICTION.

GENATOR ALLEE is not sulker. He is in
50 line for the ticket. He predicts that the
Republicans will carry Kent county by 1000 ma
jority. This is encouraging news. Senator Al
lee in the past has never been far wrong in his
forecasts. The Republicans had difficulty in
Kent county, but the troubles are all settled and
the ticket seems to be assured of a rousing ma
jority This does not mean, however, that Re
publcans should relax their efforts to win.
The Democrats have been conducting quiet
campaign, but their meeting Tuesday night
shows that they are capable of stirring their
voters to action.
Neither Kent county nor any other county Of
the State should be turned over to the Democrats
The only hope in improvement in the affairs of
the State is with the Republicans in control. And
to remain in control the party will have to stand
in the future for the people. Jobbery, whether
by Republicans or Democrats, or both combined
will not be tolerated. 1t has played out else
where. 1t cannot go here.
