Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Apropos of the article in your issue Of
/ "Wednesday October Goth, bearing upon
the condition of New Castle under the
present system Of license. The article
in question bears upon It's face false
hoods from beginning to end First, TO
begin with. the entire poulation of Now
Castle does not exceed IN round num-
hers over $500 people and not 5000
population as tho writer of the arti-
Gle claims Second The Board Of
Education does not get any support
through the license system, as it is
well known by all our citizens that the
constitution of our state provides for
"a fund. Tor the provision Of school
funds for public education, which is
one hundred thousand dollars, and the
lefty Of New Castle will be provided
with the pro rate for public education.

that there are no pauners in New

members Of tho Trustees Of the Poor.
who, IL he cares to do so. can give him
some information upon the matter that
lpcrhaDs wif make him wise to the
situation Fifth In regards 60 the
Number Of houses that have been built
In this town within the last five year
There has not been more than ten
houses erected in that time: and are
there any citizens In the city of New
Castle but know that the people who
built these houses. do not frequent the
saloons And II it were not for the
present condition OF affairs. now many
more people would own their homes.
Doubtless. the writer knows when 1as-
ker Iron Works closed their business
in New Castle the working class Of
people who are largely the support of
the saloons were given aid from Will
mington and the same conditions wo aid
exist today &c the iron works closed
down. namely the Baldt and Brylgon.
So far as arrests for drunkenness and
disorder. there Is hardly week that
some case OF this character Is not mp
before the squire or mayor. It is
well -lynown fact among the people of
New Castle that many a young man
has fallen by the waysdo, and has gone
TO his long home by the evil influence
OF drink. In conclusion. I desire TO say
that il is very evident that the writer
of the article in question did not write
this letter of fallacy, TO deceive the
people of New Castle, as they cannot
be fooled by misrepresentation. But Il
was his intention to fool voters. living
outside OF our city.

TN MANY cities throughout the country there
u is complaint of a lack Of facilities for school
children The young ones are prevented from
attending school because of a lack OF proper
buildings and equipment. In Washington alone
where the educational system is under the direct
control of the government, it is estimated that 20
per cent OF the youngsters arc unable to attend
school There is need for more buildings and
more teachers. And there is another complaint
OF the lack Of teachers in many cities In New
York there is great demand for teachers, and
where to secure them is a problem.
In recent years many young women who natli-
rally would engage in school teaching have
drifted into other and more pleasant and remit
lucrative occupations while the widening of op-
portunites for young men, due to the tech
nical professions which have developed so greatly
in recent years, decreases the number of young
men who would naturally follow school teaching
Then, again, the increase of education in every
direction has made a natural larger demand tor
teachers which exceeds the supply. The only
way to make the teaching occupation more ~
tractive for the young men and young women is
10 advance the pay, and this is what many school
f-oards are unwilling 10 do.

A report throughout the middle West, whence
comes large part of our table supplies, says that
lower prices may soon be expected The feeling
rs said to be strong that the drop in the vaua-
ton OF securities which arc manipulated in Wall
street will cause substantial fall in the price of
food commodities. The jobbcrs and retailers and
the trusts which manipulate the food products be-
lieve that they cannot be held up much longer
in any movement upward of prices the consumer
is always struck early in the game but when the
downward drop begins it is some time before the
consumer gets the benefit. The jobbers hold on
to the advance as long as they think the trade
will bear it.

the king of England granted the

Bishop of London has ever set foot on

America to their see. Although there
