RAILROAD PROSPERITY

despite the wall OF q few rail-
road magnates and their public
mouthpiece, the figures do not
show any check in the prosperity
of the railroad companies. If
timid investors are frightened, it
is not because of any decrease in
the business. The net increase
of traffic of the transportation
companies in 1905 as compared
with 1905, is enormous and in the
last five years the gross earnings
have doubled, according to fig
ures of the Kansas City Star.
This has begn in the face Of the
various agitations. The scare.
crow that the government is hos
tile to theos great corporations
does not promise to lessen their
earning capacity.
1T may be recalled how the
Chicago packers vehemently as.
serted that If the government in
terferred with their business or
prevented them from sending
our poisonous products, their
trade would be ruined, cattlemen
bankrupted and thousands Of

ptit the screws on the packers,
the latter continue In business and
they are still pf1ing up their
great profits. In fact the gov

panies In the end end will inspire
instead OF destroy confidence OF
the investors in railroad secnri-
ties. The assumption that the
government would cripple the
railroad companies and thereby
hamper what is probably the
chief business of the country, is
too preposterous to consider ser,
iously. The only persons who
will be affected will be those who
bought securities at very high
figure and the manipulators OF
the Hartman stripe who will find
that they cannot longer work out
their schemes of dealing in these
properties on a fictitious basis
and then cry aloud that the gov

expressed themselves Chief among these
Is section IL, which. reads in part as fol.
lows:
That il it shall appear at said election
that a greater number of voters have
been cast against license than for license
in any of said local option districts of this
State, it shall be unlawful for any person

FARM HELP

Pertinent to the subject of
farm help, a question which
much perplexes every farmer of
this section and vicinity, the Mil
ford Chronicle has the following
to say: "The grangers are de-
manding that the State Board
of Agriculture shall get prompt
and satisfactory returns out of
the FIVE thousand dollars that
they were given to benefit TAR
mers by bringing into Delaware
farm help. At the county grange
meeting held at Laurel last week,
resolutions calling for prompt
action were adopted, and if it is
possible to relieve the tension in
farm labor demand in Delaware,
it is up to the State Board of
Agriculture to make good ; or
future legislatures will have but
scant respect for that body. For
our part, we have but little faith
in the effort, but wish it success.
1t has been the custom for half
century to educate boys and
girls to the idea that a home
in a great city, or to have day
wages in some small town, is far
more desired than the life of a
farmer. Probably the effort to
change the teachings of a life
time will be hard to up-root, but
it must be done before the people
will turn to the farm again. A
hustling young man will accum-
ulate money more rapidly on a
farm he manages intelligently,
than he can accumulate IN any
city by the labor of his hands.
If rural consolidation of schools
were brought about, and the
children Of a prosperous farming
district educated at or near farms
where their parents are making
money, much of the desire to 60
to towns and cities would be
eradicated in the young people
of this day, and farming districts
would have the advantage of a
higher grade Of intelligent young
farmers. We firmly believe that
rural consolidation of schools,
will do more for the farmer than
all the State Board of Agriculture
com bined. But the present
emergency must be met, and the
state has provided means to meet
it, so it is up to that department
to make good"
