GET BACK TO THE SOIL.

Get back to the soil. Too many men are
lettering around the larger cities eking out an
existence their families suffering for the want
of the bare necessities of life. They should get
to the soil, till it and become independent, says
the Mankato Free Press.
Does it not seem strange that with SO
many thousands of acres of good land, cheap in
price, opened for settlement, that our larger
cities should be overrun with hundreds, if not
thousands of men, who are working their way
through life for a pittanCe? Why do they
not get to the soil and there work as hard as
they are now toiling for someone else? Should
they do so they would be quickly repaid for
every effort.
1t is true that many of these have not
the means with which to make the proper be-
ginning the farm. Here is where practical
charity could be put into operation. Really, it
would not be charity. It would he Purely
business transaction, if the plan followed in
England were carried out in America We are
told that the Salvation Army has inaugurated
a movement in England which will place 1O-
600 London families in Rhodesia and start them
in farming
The required to carry out this scheme
is about $5OOOOO0. But it all will be returned
to those men who have contributed the amount
In one sense it is a purely business transaction,
but is redounding to the benefit of great
many people who would otherwise remain in
London and soon become real objects of charity
Were Carnegie, Rockefeller, and others of
Weather men to assist their more unfort-
innate fellows to get to the soil, this country
would be much better off than if hundred
more libraries were to be esta blished and several
universities and colleges endowed

It is claimed that Europe does not suffer
from lust the kind of panic that is affecting
this country at the present time for the
that the people there have confidence in the
postal savings banks, and there is not the ten
deucy to rush to the bank and draw their money
out and put it in hiding as soon any little
scare comes. These postal savings hanks are
conducted by the government, and the people
have as much confidence in them as they do in
the stability of the government itself. The OBJ
lection to the United States government es@
tabishng postal savings bank is that it
would not pay People expect three to four
per cent interest their savings and yet the
government can borrow all the money it wants
at two per cent. But greater confidence i'll the
banks could be established by a system OF in
surance to depositors maintained out of taA
on national banks. The losses to depositors
thru the failure of national banks is trivial
when compared with the extent of the business
and yet it would be easy to make all deposits
absolutely safe by a small charge each
bank thatit is wonder that some system of
this kind was not begun years ago. State
banks also should come under similar provi-
sions enacted by the state, or otherwise the
state banks would be quickly driven out Of
business by the greater confidence people would
feel i'll national banks.

The attorney general has ruled that the
railroads may charge an extra ten cents to pas
sengers who pay their fare of the train We do
not know what the law of the case is, but do
know that the railroads have not been given a
effect Instead of buying tickets, people have
been paying their fare on the train, and the
railroads have had but little check on their
passenger receipts, and conductors have been
under the constant temptation to retain that
which was not their own If the new ruling is
any hardship, the public have themselves to
blame in the widespread moral laxity in regard
to paying railroad it's just due.

No hyrnn or carol in any way mentioning
Christ or Christmas will be sung hereafter in
The public shoots of New York. The school
board has so ordered, and has further ordered
the song books used in the schools to be revised
so as to cut out all reference to Christ or Christ
mas The action is taken as the result OF agi-
y tation by the Jews, who complained that the
Christian festival as celebrated i'll the schools

sHAD AND PEARS

a PHILOSOPHER OF Sussex county, ac-
\ cording to one of our esteemed contem-
poraries, expresses the wish that all the bones OF
a shad that most delicious of fish, could be trans
ferred to the Keiffer pear This Sussex county
sage evidently believes that time is money in Sus-
SEX and there is a loss of it when he eats his
shad He would wish the fish without the bones
and. therefore he would consgn them TO some
other place preferably the Keilicr pear. Most
folk enjoy shsd They don't like picking the
bones. but some eat the bones and all, trusting to
Providence that no serious trouble will follow
But the pertinent question TO be asked is why
this Sussex man, and he lives in Lewes, wants to
fill the KeiIer pear with bones and thus create
a species of fruit of which even the wizard Bur
bank never dreamed boneless shad would be
an odditv and a Keiffer pear full of bones would
be curiosity that would startle the experts in
fruit culture the Hon. TIervcy Walker master
of the State Grange; the Hon. William Dickson,
of Kent county; Colonel Theodore Townsend,
and countless other Delaware citizens who are
interested IN the products of the farm.
Why should the Keilfer pear be assailcd? Does
this Sussex county philosopher have a special
grudge against the Keiffer pear? Does he desire
TO create a prejudice against It and compel the
abandoning of this fruit as a staple product, the
Joy of the housewife when there is no other fruit
to be obtained7
New Castle county should rally to the support
of the Keiffer. 1t is popularity supposed to have
had its origin in Blaclbrd hundred, in this
county. The Hon. James T. Shallcross, of this
county, has been a great believer in pears, and
we shall expect him to come forth and halt this
insdious effort of the shad advocates to throw
the unpleasant things of the fish into the Keiffer
pear The Keffer pear is humble fruit. When
peaches are about the Keifer is permitted to rot
on the ground, or is shoveled up and dumped into
a freight car, as il it were piece of coal But
the Keifer is sturdy, and when all other fruit is
blasted the Keiifer is sure to be around. The
KeiIer pear may not be appreciated in Sussex
county, where they have peaches, strawberries,
sausage, hogs jowl and turnip greens. But in
other parts of the country the Keifer is not
snubbed Even in aristocratic Boston and way
up in bleak and stony Maine in the summertime,
the Keiffer is looked upon as a ray OF sunshine.
If the Sussex wise man doesn't believe it, let him
so there and dig up FIVE cents piece for Keifer
pear that brings ten or fifteen cents the basket
in Delaware.

Grafton regulating the display OF fruits and
food in the open air. The rules will
require that all fruit vegetables, fish and
meat exhibited for sale in open windows
or on stands, shall be placed a certain number OF
feet above the sidewalks, to be out of the reach
OF dogs, and shall be suitably covered. A simple
covering, such as glass window frame or some
similar arrangement will be sufficient, the only
requirement being that it shall be dust proof

JEFFERSON TEACHINGS

ID ERTINENTLY it is asked, in many quar-
4 tiers. what are the teachings of Thomas
jefferson as applied to current conditions? Demo
Gratis of varied shades Of opinion all claiming JEFF
ferson as their own, have been celebrating Jeffer-
son day and the speakers put interpretations to
suit their fancy upon his maxms. 1t would be
difficult to tell what the views of Jefferson would
be many topics of the present day. He was
individualst believing in as little government
as possible But the conditions of the country
were different in his day from what they are at
present There were no huge aggregations of
capital no trusts, no immense corporations. it
was young and growing country and the unre-
strcted competitive system of business was the
accepted doctrine Jefferson, however, was not
opposed to the government conducting the pos
tai service and it is reasonably certain to presume
that with the changing conditions, he would have
become convinced that government activity to
regulate capital as the latter amassed is necessary
The increased concern Of government in affairs
OF the industrial world is due to the desire for
equal and exact justice for all men, Jefferson
was opposed to special privileges and the present
day legislation is tending towards preventing
special privilege The only way this can be done
is through the instrumentalty Of law. But to
draw hard and fast rule on what Jefferson would
do under the circumstances is a difficult task.
Bryan Democrats have as much basis for claim
ing Jefferson as their saint as has the so-callcd
conservative wing of the party.

IL may be "a little early to start the
ban rolling for the gubernatorial cam
paign of 1908, but there are so many
things To be considered, and the situ-
alton of the Republican party so criti-
cal, that il will be well for the people
to get the underlying conditions
grounded well before the actual con-
test for delegates is on. The two lower
counties have interests in common.
and the situation as it now appears
to calm viow of the Geld, shows the
party i'm position which by personal
strife and differences viii land the
State and LEGISLATURE solidly into the
Democratic column. First of all let Il
be distinctly understood. that the nom
inee for governor must come from
Sussex county. and he must be q man
capable of filling the honorable posi-
tion i'm every sense of the word. Too
much is at stake to make any mis-
takes at this coming nomination, and
the people viii surely not stand fer
another Legislature owned root and
branch by the corporations, and con-
trolled hy their friends. There is no
room TO read out Of The party any
man, or set of men; all must do their
duty. and we want to Impress the
fact on good Republicans, that it is
the right of Sussex county TO namo
the man who shall be the standard
bearer in our next campaign. There
are many capable but what is needed,
is the strongest and most able mar
i'm the county. a man who will be re-
spected and a man whose Republican
ism can not be questioned. 1t is none
too early to frame up the timber and
consider its utility.
