project is shown by the following letter
received by Josiah Marvel early last
week:
Winterthur. Del, 1ith May. 1907.
Josiah Marvel. Esq, Wilmington, Del
aware
Dear Sir. I have duly received your
letter of yesterday, stating that at a
meeting Of the battleship committee Of
the Wilmington Board OF Trade, You
We're instructed to write me in connec-
tion with the giving the name OF our
State to one of the new battleships.
Although I did not know that the
Board Of Trade was considering this
matter. I viii say in reply that upon
my own initiative. but in accord with
what / understood to be the general
sentiment of the people of Delaware.
I called upon the President soon after
the passage of the act authorizing the
two new battleships, and strongly urg-
ed, upon substantially the same
grounds as those mentioned in your
letter that one Of them should be
named the Delaware" The President
seemed much interested and promised
TO speak TO the Secretary Of the Navy
about the matter Later I called upon
The Hon. Victor H. Metcalf Secretary
of the Navy who told me that the
matter had been called to his atten-
tion by the President, but that 1t was
TOO soon TO take any action, as the
names would not be given until about
the time the contracts were to be let.
A few days ago I received a verbal
message from the Secretary to say
that he thought one OF the new bat
tlcships would be named the Della
ware" and although it seems TO me
that the probabilities are that this
win be done, I have written TO the
Secretary OF The Navy by this mail,
transmitting your enclosures ana reit-
Grating my previous requests.
Very truly yours,

ms CONFIDENCE RESTORED.

indianapolis News.
There is one man in this country
whose confidence in banks has been re-
stored. This man appeared at the First
National bank in this city yesterday
with green-baeks to the amount of $507,
or rather what two weeks ago represent
ed that amount Of money. The man had
drawn the money from one of the banks.
He took it home and buried it in the hog
lot.
Yesterday he was shocked to find
that his treasure had been rooted up by
the hogs and part of it eaten. A hundred
dollar bill was missing and the remainder
of the roll, which was in small denomi-
nations, was chewed and torn to pieces.
He washed the money as clean as posi-
BILE and pasted the pieces together. They
accepted the money and will send it to
the treasury. The banking officials are
of the opinion that he viii lose at least
half of the money he buried.

ming fights he has made against the stall
warts of his own party and against the
railroads in his native state. In these
respects he was, better equipped Tor
successful warfare against corporate and
political niquity that the plain shoe
maker of Michigan who was fighting
for the people across the lake at about
the same time LaFollette was suffering
the sings and arrows of powerful foes.
They did everything to LaFollette but
poison his will What they did to Pin
gree is well remembered here.
Pingree sowed where others have
reaped. Every passing year, as the re-
forms he advocated gather greater
strength, we realize how well he plant
ed LaFollette has both sown and reap
ed as governor; and now he seeks a
nationwide field for the propagation OF
economic truth that is to free the peo-
ole from the "oligarchy of wealth and
power.
OF the French Huguenots, he is not
like them in looks, for they are dark.
He is fair. with honest blue eyes and
square jaw.
OF the politicians, he is not like them,
for they are dark. He is fair and open
aud straightforward. In his right hand
he carries truth to silence enyious

Do YOU recall how the hero in 1.-THE
Man of the Hour" cites La Toilette as
one of the men Of the hour who have
proven that corruption wins not more
than honesty in public life?
Roosevelt so the annals run-is the
only man who was ever kicked upstairs
in the presidency. This stalwarts thought
full surely, good easy men, that they
had him quietly inurned in the vice
presidency.
When LaFollette went to congress in

to be father to him; they introduced
him to the president and inquired his
pleasure as to the committees he desir-
ed to serve on. They buried him in the
committee on Indian affairs!

has been on the warpath against law
breaking combinations and politicians
of the OLD eteal school, rather.

THE Mutual Life Insurance company

after January first, because of the rig
id requirements Of the states new in
surance laws, 80 says the company s
president. Two other companies -
Michigan Mutual and Germania Life -
have decided to do likewise. Various
other strong companies have decided to
remain and comply with the laws.
This accepting Of the laws by some
companies while others say they cannot
comply Herewith, confuses the public
mind. 1t is unfortunate that the with
drawing companies have not made a
plain statement Of the exact provisions
of the new laws which they find too
onerous to accept, putting before the
public their explanations, so that the
people might clearly see the real issue
and have some basis for forming an in

laws or the merits of the objections to
them

A UNITED STATES Senator is Of the
opinion that Americans won't work any
more. They are so busy specializing
and trying to live off of each other that
they have abandoned labor, and the
foreigner collects the wages and sends
tire money abroad. Perhaps the finan-
cial stress will teach us lesson, and
some time in the near future the Amer
leans will get back to honest toll and
fair dealing and contentment. In the
last few years they have been too busy
gambling and specializing to do any
real work or prove themselves good
citizens.
