force, the revenue
from til Source has fallen off, and
it is well for the people to think OF
matter and advise with their rep
resentatives as to what methods
shall be restored to raise revenue,
without Lowing a direct tax. It is
true for consideration Of what we
are attempting to maintain. The
records show that it costs the State
as much to maintain the insane as
it does to educate the children in
the public schools. In a State
like Delaware this is astounding;
but is a fact just the same, and the
matter should be looked into care
fully at this session of the Legisla-
ture. Think the condition over,
and talk it over with your repre-
sentatives and Senators; for it is
the public which must formulate
and mould good and
wise government through its Legis-
allure.

COMMENTING on the demand Of
Southern women that they be en-
franchised as a solution of the race
problem, (there being 600, 900 more
white women in the South than all
the negro men and women COM
bined), the Austin (Tex.) Forum
says, This is a point our wisest
statesmen seem to have overlooked
and it is a point we'll worthy of
their consideration. Under such
conditions the negro man and wo-
man would have the right of suf-
frage, but the preponderance of
white voters would be so great
that the negro might as we'll stay
at home on election day"

TEACHERS in Delaware deserve
higher salaries, and we have re.
Gently shown that the matter is
within their power to solve the
whole question; but there is some
thing besides supply and demand
at the bottom of the matter. Let
US look at the comparisons exist
ing. The man who constructs the
walls of a house is paid better for
his work than the man or woman
who educates the child and fits him
to become the skilled artisan.
Bricklayers in San Francisco get
SIS per day, and in our eastern
cities So per day, while Miss Jones
teaches a school in Delaware rural
districts for the same AMOUNT per
week, and is given employment
only seven or eight months each
year. eMost Of our rural teachers
are paid less than hod-carriers, and
t is little less than a public scandal
hat such is the case. mo male
eacher should be paid less than
.nough to support decently a wife
md FIVE children is an assertion
made editoriaiiy by Golfers, and
hat I'D every community the teach
T should have a position and
molument equal to the professional
1an or bank employee. The school
hould attract the best talent of
he community, and keep it steadi-
7, that the ripe experience of a
eacher may be drawn upon for the !
dvancement of Our schools and +
of our children. We be-
eve that the publication of the I
ames and location of schools that
ay scandelously low salaries to
achers, in the manuals of the 2
Iperintendents of public schools, c
i'd also where salaries have been q
ised, has done great good and n
ould have wide circulation.

IN choosing Harry Richardson,
of Dover, to represent the Republi-
cans Of Delaware in the United
States Senate, the Legislature hasse-
lected a Delawarean who thorough
ly represents the business interests
of the State; but one who has never
been accused of being a politician
in the full sense ofthe word. Harry
Richardson is one of the most
afable gentlemen, and a practical
business man. He dis1ikes the
language of diplomacy in the sense
Of apparently speaking in a manner
to~convey an entirely different idea
from what he entertains, or intends
to act upon, and his word is as
good as his bond. The people of
Delaware have reason to thank
Senator Richardson for stepping
into a financial crisis, which saved
the general public many thousands
of dollars, and while they may not
hearof him making any setspeeches
in the Senate, he will look after the
business interests of Delaware. The
people are to be congratulated that
the Senatorial question was so soon
settled and so satisfactorily. h

Residents of Pennsylvania who have
been squatting along the Delaware river
and bay for years during the fishing sea-
son are likely to get a setback during the
coming spring. Fishermen from Port
Penn, Delaware City and New Castle will
join in an effort to have the Legislature
pass a bill, to be presented by Represent
alive Chauncey P. HoIcomb, prohibiting
these squatters from fishing in the iuris-
dictiOn of Delaware.

WE regret to see a disposition on
the part of few of our young peo-
pie to quit school. Stay at school
another year or two, and don t be
ashamed of what ought to be your
glory, that you want to learn more.
Step from the district school to the
high school, from the high school
to college, if you can. Get a bust
ness education by all means-you
will never learn too much. If you
desire to become a mechanic in
stead of an engineer or farmer, an
education will not unfit you to be-
come either It will always be
capital bearing large income of
interest.

THE fisheries of Delaware need
attention at this session of the
Delaware Legislature, and an effort
to get the legislatures of Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey to enact
laws of similar nature to protect
the rapidly-wasting interests COM
mon to the three States in the Della
ware river and bay. One of the
main laws necessary is one that will
prohibit catching of shad from Fri
day night until after midnight of
the following Sunday during the
open season. This would give the
fish chance to get up the river to
spawn. The Fish Commissioner
of Pennsylvania in his report re-
commends:
That there be an enactment for
bidding the sale of certain food and
game fishes, notably bass and vel
low perch of less than a designated
size, no matter where caught or
at what time Of the year.
That there should be an enact
ment forbidding the sale of black
bass, walt-eyed pike and chain
Dickerel, no matter where caught,
Turing the close season.
'Istrongly recommend that there

levices used for catching fish for

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving of Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor men,
DRY who never suspect coffee has any
thing to do with it.
The drug-Caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on h erves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much in the brain at one time, too
little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
Il am nearly 20 years old and did
not know that coffee was the cause of
the stomach and heart trouble l suf-
fered from for many years, until about
four years ago. writes a kas. woman.
"A kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. l had been
suffering severely and was greatly re-
duced in flesh. After using Postum a
little while l found myself Improving:
my heart beats became regular and
now l seldom ever notice any symp-
toms of my old stomach trouble at all.
NV nerves are steady and my memory
decidedly better than while l "a using
coffee.

well as coffee. My sister told me two
wears ago that she did not like it, but

STOP THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Weakens the Tissues and Lessons
Organic Vitality.

The stress and strain of the siren
uous life in both city and country
tends towards stomach troubles.
Five people suffer to-day where one
did ten years ago with sick headache,
dizziness, hatulencc. distress after eat
ing, specks before the eyes. bloating.
nervousness. sleeplessness and the
many other symptoms of indigestion.
All who are suffering with stomach
troubles, and that means at least two
out of three in Marshalltown and
other towns, should use Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets. Nothing else is as safe.
yet effective; nothing else can be so
thoroughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from digestion as Mi-o-na.
It is not a mere digestive taken after
the food is eaten. but a true tonic,
stimulant and strengthened for the
muscular walls of the stomach, in
creasing the flow of digestive fuids
and putting the stomach into such
condition that it does the work Ma
ture expects of it.
SO reliable is Mi-o-na in its curative
action that Mcbride & Will, with
every 5O-cent box they sell give a
guarantee to refund the money unless
the remedy does all that is claimed

The controversy between the Iowa
Central and Chicago Great Western
railroads over a strip of land near the
site Of the burned shops, which Gull
minated in each road securing an in
junction against the other. was taken
UP before Judge j. NJ. Parker in the
district court his morning.
In this action the Iowa Central is
seeking to have the injunction secured
by the Great Western dissolved. and
it wants a restraining order issued
f%orbidding the Great Western from
interfering with the work on the new
shops the Iowa Central are building.
The contention set up by the Iowa
Central is that the true nature Of the
case was not presented to Judge Brad
injunction against the Iowa Central
would not have been issued without
proper notice. The Iowa Central also
contends that the Great Western
had abandoned the switch track on
the land for more than three years. 1t
has also set up that the contract of
lease was terminated by notice for
which the lease provided.
The hearing had not been concluded
at noon, when court adjourned until
2 o'clock.
