thy catalogue house b stronger
hold on the trade Of the country. !.
These congressman are not mar.
row minded men. but have been
drilled in the relentless mill Of
years of experience. One Of the
Iowa congressman has made the
remark that he is opposed to the
encroachment Of the catalogue
house on the home merchant for
for the good reason that in the
sending of money to an unseen
and unknown merchant, gives
that merchant an opportunity to
practice unscrupulous tactics up
on the unsuspecting customer.
AS we have said in the begin
ming Ct this article it is.the object
of thepromoters of the catalogue
house to drive the home mer-
chant out of business and if they
succeed in doing so, it means the
running of our beautiful and home
like towns. When you have de-
pleted the home town you have
done much toward depreciating
the value of farm lands. So this
is d question that not only is of
vital interest to the retail mer-
chant but it is of just as much
interest to the citizens of our
towns and to the farmers. It
would certainly be a deplorable
condition if we were obliged to-
send away for the most of what
we need because our home mer-
chants have been driven out of
business by the catalogue houses.
The concerns must pay for
their goods just the same as the
merchants at home, and some
one must pay the millions of dol
lars they spend every year in
advertising their business. On
top of this expense is the thou
sands upou thousands Of dollars
they pay every month for rent
Of the buildings they occupy, be-
sides the additional expense of |
an army Of clerks. The home
merchant is not called upon to
meet any of these expenses.
1t seems the most of us should
have inbred pride enough to
prompt us TO trade at home.

THE CITES AGAINST HOME

The farmer has seen many
changes in the manner of the
controlling and the conducting Of
business in the past few years.
From the tiller of the soil being
able to control the markets of
grain, that power has slipped
from him until it is manipulated
by theGgrain operators of large
cities. He is uncertain as to
whether he will receive adequate
compensation for his efforts. The
latest effort in the concentration
of business in cities is to take
from the farmer and residents Of
the smaller towns their oppor
tunity to buy their necessities at
home and require them to send
their money to cities. Perhaps
the strongest factor In this de-
struction of home markets is
the concerns known as catalogue
houses. Their aim is to, il pos
sible, drive the retail merchants
located In the towns of all statea
out OF business. The home mer
chant has repeatedly complained
to bis patrons and asked them
that instead of sending their
money abroad for. what they need
to give him the opportunity Of
filing their orders and has offer

THE ELECTION

Well, the result mas oeeh oe
termined. The people OF Della
ware. speaking through the bal
lot box have decreed that thu
two lower Counties Of Kent ant
Sussex shall be dry and thu
County of New Castle, including
the City of Wilmington shall be
wet. We are content. As stat
ed at the beginning of the cam
paign, THE TRANSCRIPT is favor
able to high license law, rigldiJ
enforced. But when the issue
put was to us fairly and squarely
to vote for or against the present
system, we we're too cowardly tc
assume the responsibility Of fas,
tening the saloon upon the com
munity. Now, a majority OF the
voters have said that they want
license. This result has been
reached by reason Of the prom
ises and pledges Of the liquor
interests that a higher license
fee should be passed. On how
we'll they keep these pledges will
IL.
depend largerly the action OF the
temperance workers.
A. prominent Democrat said
to US, since the election, IN about
these words, "If the liquor deal.
ers who are responsible and re-
spectacle, have any sense at all,
they will be the first to advocate
and push a measure at the earli-
est opportunity to repeal the
"Bottle Law" which,in my opin-
ion, has caused more injury to
their cause than any other feat
ure of the present system. They
should also assist the author
tiles in trying to get rid Of the bad
element, that by their persistent
violations of thelaw, have brought
the business in disrepute. "
Another prominent man, this
one q, Republican, and one who
voted for license. said, "The bet
ter element of the whiskey deal
ers should for their own protec
ton, lrge the wiping out of the
saloon, and the granting of a lie
ense to sell liquors only to a bona
fide hotel, one in which there are
rooms to be had with good, clean
Ids, and respectable in all ways,

One thing to be deplored as a
result Of Tuesdays work is the
open talk of money used
If a small part only Of the stories
told be true, the amount SO ex
pended runs into five or six fig
ures for this county. OF course,
the expenses of the license fer
ces were larger in proportion
than those of the anti's, but GER
tainly they we're not, and could
not be so large as to legitimateiy
accounEfor any such sum. There.
fore, it follows that bribery must
have been largely depended up
on to bring about the result. Ii
this is so, some one will.probably
be tried and If convicted, be pun

SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATIONS

| The Trustees OF the Rhodes Scholarship
fund have appointed Tuesday and Wed

dates for the qualifying examinations Of
candidates for appointment from the
United States to the Scholarships that
are to be f led in tlie fall Of 1908 at Ok.

of Delaware College are eligible for ap-
psintnent from Delaware provided they
may have the proper qualifications.
These examinations are set by the Oxford
authorities and ares merely meant to de-
termine what men have the necessary
mental qualifications. The appointment
is left to committee and must be made
from the list OF those who have passed
the examinations. This committee is to
be guided in theiit selection by the per-
sonalits Of tie several candidates having

be appointed to The Scholarships as by
their strength OIL mind and firmness OF
character might absorb and assimiIate
Oxford's sound learning and hoary tradi-
tions without losing sense Of their Ameri-
can citizenship. The following are the
subjects for examinations as given last

Rights of Japanese Defined.

San Francisco.-City and County At
torney Burke, in discussing the Japa-
Eese school case today, as altered by
the new agreement. said:
''If 1t is the Japanese children over
sixteen years old who are to be kept
out of our public schools, statute No.
1862 of the civil code will have to be
repealed by the Legislature. The
statute makes provision that all chill
dren between the ages of 6 and 81 shall
be allowed TO enter our public schools,
except for certain reasons.
THE statute also provides that in
case an Oriental school is provided. the
children of the people so specified shall
attend no other. The statute specifies
children of Mongolian descent and we
shall insist, until proved otherwise in
court, that the Japanese are not of
Mongolian descent"

Trouble Ahead.

The trustees of the public library at
dalden, Mass, announce that they
will not put in circulation novel
which decent woman may not read
70 decent man without blushing." AS
this Is a standard of excellence which
cannot be applied a priori, it may be
necessary to appoint a committee to
exercise the novel censorship. The
difficulty of finding a decent man will
be equalled only by that of submitting
decent woman to such an ordeal,
says the New York Post. The latter
might, after a time, grow hardened
and maintain a deathly pallor while
reading aloud from dubious works. It
would not always be easy to distin-
guish blush of modesty from what
novelists call a flush of vexation."
The man might even blush while the
woman remained pale, and, lastly, the
blushing might be caused not by the
book, but by the presence of the man.

MANY DRY FARMS
PLANNED BY SANTA F. RAIL.
ROAD SYSTEM.
UNDER CAMPBELL SYSTEM

To Instruct Farmers and New Set
tiers in Dry Land cuIture-WiII Be
Located in Several States and Ter
ritory Ct New Mexico.
The Santa Fe railroad system has
formulated plan for establishing
demonstration farms along its lines in
the various states included in the arid
West. These farms will be conducted
for the purpose of instructing the
farmers ard prospective settlers in the
system OF dry land culture. A con-
tract has already been closed with
Henry w. Campbell of Bethany, Ne
braska, to supervise the work on these
farms. These farms will be located in
western Kansas, eastern Colorado, Ok
lahoma, Texas, New Mexico and prob
ably California, wherever sufficient CO.
operation can be secured from the citi-
zens.
The great possibilities of the dry
land system of farming as a means of
reclaiming the arid West and furnish
ing homes to thousands upon thous-
ands of settlers have been the moving
consideration in carrying out this plan.
In securing Mr.. Campbell to take
charge of this work the Santa Fe has
been particularly fortunate, inasmuch
as his scientific methods of soil cul-
ture have never yet failed to produce
crops in sections where the annual
rainfall is as much as twelve inches.
For the eastern farmer who desires
to come west and practice the Camp
bell system of soil culture there are
many new things to be learned. This
will 1>o I'D h1- mn ct a
ton farms. To these the farmer can
go and become thoroughly acquainted
with tn, methods of tilling the soil
necessary to retain the moisture in
sufficient quantities to insure the grow
ing and maturing crop against drought.
Farmers who settle near these farms
will have the benefit of all the eXper-
iments that are conducted anywhere
along the system, and If they follow
closely the methods taught, they can
be assured a good crop each year.
Eastern Colorado will be in a posi-
tion to profit greatly by this system of
demonstration farms. Already simi-
lar farm has been started at Eads on
the Missouri Pacific, under the super-
vision OF government experts. With
another farm in the valley along the
line of the Santa Fe. there will be am
PIE demonstration of what can be done
with this land working under scien-
ific methods. While there are still
abundant opportunities in the Arkan-
sas valley for settlers to secure good
irrigated lands, the success OF this
Troject will increase the area avail
able for purposes of cultivation by
many hundred per cent, and will mean
mat within the next decade this sec
tion of Colorado will have many times
it's present population.-Pu Chief

New Plan to Save Child Labor.

A proposition to take all children
under IA years of age from factories
and other places OF employment and
send them to school has been made by
N. o. Nelson, millionaire manufac-
turer, to the women's clubs Of St.
Louis. Mr.. Nelson is to pay the chill
dren half the amount they would re-
ceive for their work, and the clubs the
other half. The clubs have yet to give
their decision and, pending it, Mr.. Mel
son has undertaken to do the work
himself, says Reader Magazine. He
has investigated for several weeks
past every application to the truant
officer for permits for children under
age to work in the factories, and has,
1t the present writing, found seven
worthy cases. Each week these chill.
aren call at Nelson's Office and receive
the money they would have been paid
for working-an average of three dol
lars week. Then the children have
been returned TO their schools. In
less than one-third of the cases inves-
:igated by Mr.. Nelson did he find the
people to be actually in need of the
thildren's services.
