all. In one of the first readers of a
certain series of school books, there is
a nice little story entitled ssThe Chicks
That Were Not Chicks'. The good
old hen was set on duck eggs and the
result was young ducks and they soon
went swimming where the old mother
hen could not follow. The heroes in
in the aforesaid story were land seek
ers that were not land seekers and
they soon went where their entertain
er failed to follow. Boys, stay on the
farm, it's all right.

BILE lesson to the boys and girls on the
farm who become weary and tired of
rising early, going to bed late and
drudging the year around, It is hard,
but its everlastingly honest and one
has the glorious privilege of being in
dependent. The incident is as follows:
One of the oldest residents there was
in the habit of getting on the train
and handing the conductor dollar or
! or dollar and a half to take him to
st. Paul, and he was regularly accord
ed the benefits of first class ride for
such prices. How long this has been
his custom may be difficult to solve.
He believed no doubt as the prevail
ing sentiment with the public is, that,
beating the railroad company is honest
anyway. He has made his wealth
principally handling land and is an
exemplary citizen. He spoke out too
loud about the favors bestowed upon
him and two detectives were sent to
his home to secure the facts and bring
them into camp. They pretended to
be land seekers and only conductors
and real estate men know how easy
this class of people are, as rule, and
how numerically many of them have
been soaked, even in this neck of the
woods, and they arranged to buy
farm, but wished to take trip to the
cities to bring back the ''mon." The
real estate dealer gave them slip to
the icon" and the icon" gave them a
receipt for trip to st. Paul for $3.50.
You all know the result. Three con-
ductors whose hearts and hands were
mixed up in the transaction, lost their
positions, lost their honor, and for
ever the confidence of corporations
that employ experienced and thorough
men to handle their business. They
do not know how to farm-they are
not able to if they wished. They per-
haps have little money. The para
mount question with them is what are

cLINaINo no ROOSEVELT.

IT HIRD term gossip about President Roose-
welt does not down easily The President
has announced his intention not to be again a
candidate for the nomination for President. Im-
Piled with this declaration is the understanding
that he would not accept the nomination were
it handed to him. Senator Chauncey M. Depew
who seems to be coming out of the political and
public obscurity that has surrounded him since
the life insurance company scandals ventures the
opinion that Mr. Roosevelt would not again ac-
cept a nomination. On the other hand some Of
the Democratic leaders believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt could be prevailed upon to accept The lat
est Democrat who holds to that idea is Congress
man Champ Clark, of Missouri warm per
sonal friend of Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Clark
declares that il Mr. Roosevelt were convinced
that the Republicans would nominate a so
called reactionary for President the chief mags-
trate would again receive the highest honor that
the party can bestow upon him.
These opinions and remarks coming every now
and then indicate the strong hold that the Presi-
dent has upon the affections Of the people Of both
parties. Notwithstanding the attacks and covert
assaults that have been made upon him, the Pres
ident is still a winner The people like his
fearlessness and his courageousness. They will
not want to give him up personally and they GER
tainly will not want to surrender the Roosevelt
idea. Lately other prominent leaders of the party
have been mentioned for the high office. They
have suited the so-called reactionares, but their
names have not evoked the popular enthusiasm
that follows in the trail of Mr.. Roosevelt. The
president has made great impression upon the
country. lie has stood for justice between man
and man and between immense aggregatons of
capital and the people There is no doubt that
the Roosevelt idea is dominant and some one
embodying the Presidents views would COM
mand the support Of the voters despite all en-
deavors Of the opposition to the president to un-
dermine him.

FATE OF THE TAX BILLS.

TN THE grind and hustle OF the closing days OF
i the Legislature, the fact should not be for
gotten that several important bills to provide an
adequate revenue for the State and to empower
Wilmington to increase its taxation, resource
are pending 1t IS a truth not pleasing to con-
template that the Legislature has not passed
revenue creating bill OF any import during the
sixty days OF the present session. That the State
is in need of additional revenue is not disputed.
That some OF the public service corporations OF
Delaware are not paying fair share OF the taxes
on their property and the valuable franchises they
operate under is also generally conceded. Before
the House are several measures to swell the
States revenue Can it be that the recommenda-
tons OF conscientious members OF the special
House committee to report on means Of securing
new revenue, are 10 be sidetracked by the lobby
lists? We trust not. The assemblymen face the
stern fact that revenue must be provided and in
fair manner. The corporations that thrive on the
public must pay their fair share of taxation just as
the people who own real estate and similar prop
erty are compelled to do A corporation is entitled
to a Square deal" as is an individual. But the
corporation should pay its equitable part Of the
burdens of taxation just as the man who owns
humble home or a massive mansion must do
Within the limited time remaining, revenue laws
can be enacted by the Legislature These laws
may not affect all classes of property that should
be subject to taxation, and may not be as COM
prehensvc as they should be. But the Legisla-
ture should provide the revenue to meet the n-
creasing expenses of the expanding city and
State. After such laws shall have been passed, if
need be- commission could be named to con-
slider fully the subject Of revenue and taxation
and its many ramhcations, to report at the next
session Of the General Assembly. In the mean
time the State and the city must have more reve-
nue., and public sentiment demands that the Cen
eral Assembly enact laws in the interests of the
people and not bow to the dictates of any private
power whatsoever

if not an actual increase in the city tax rate on
real estate? How the renters would feel the
pinch General prosperity and demand for
houses in excess of the supply have already
caused lifting OF the rents, and with prospect
i've or a real advance in the city or county tax
rate up would soar the rents again. And the in
crease would hit those least able to bear it, but
they would not be alone affected The merchants
and the manufacturers and all owners of property
would be compelled TO open up their pockets and
produce more for the support of the community.

Objects to Taxes.

Editor The Evening Journal.
The system Of taxation we have at
present is not the best. In fact 1t is
double taxation. AS an example: The
people of Philadelphia are demanding
S0-foot channel for the Delaware
river TO be paid for out Of the National
Treasury. That is, all the people Of
the country are asked to pay for a
local Improvement. II this channel is
dug IL win add TO the land Of Philadel-
phia a value equalling in amount the
cost Of the digging Those who use
that land will hep pay for the dredging
Of the river and will also pay to the
land owner an increased rent. This
is what I call double taxation.
The correct system would take the
value created by the improvement. and
the latter would then pay for itself.
This could be done by collecting the
annual rent OF land, for all land values
are created by the people. and put it
in the treasury for public expense.
Yours respectfully,
Warren T. Lowe.

I would advise those who have the

govern yourself before you try TO gov

self before expecting them to respect
you. Don't say in their hearing what
you wouldn't rike to hear them say.
Never correct them when you are angry
yourself. DO not suspect them OF evil.
Expect goodness and let them feel that
you do. Pay not the slightest attention
to talebearing. They win learn polite
ness and kindness and gentleness a
thousand times better from your daily
example than from years OF precept.
