country, Philadelphia yesterday at the municipal
election restored to complete control and full
power the McNichol-Durham-Var Martin ma

an irresistible fascination for jobbery, graft and
corruption The people Of that city seem to en-
JOY being robbed and plundered by up-to-date
Tweedism. The pitiable spectacle Philadelphia
presents to the country is the result of ring OF
machine rule In that city the machine is so in
trenched that it is almost impossible to disiodge
it, and so will it be anywhere if the people allow
themselves to be fettered by such an organiza-
ton. The safeguard against such a situation is
for the people to resist the centralizaton Of
power. Let them keep in their own hands as
much power as possible. The predicament of
Philadelphia is powerful object lesson to our

LEVY COURT GIVES APPROVAL
Favors Increased Appropriation for
Girls Industrial School.

In Levy Court yesterday afternoon
the following resolution was adopted
unanimously, approving the increased
rate per diem for inmates Of the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls:
Whereas, The members OF the Levy
Court Of New Castle county, by per-
sonal observation Of the over-crowded
condition Of the Delaware Industrial
School for Girls, arising from the in
creasing number Of persons committed
to II by the courts. have realized the
imperative present necessity Of an ad-
ditional building for the school, in or
der that the important reformative
work done there should not be him
dered. but rather that fuller scope be
given TO such work, now therefore be
b.
Resolved. That It is the sense OF the
members Of the Levy Court that the
amount paid to said school for the
maintenance and instruction OF each
person IN said school, under the act Of
the Legi i..ature approved March 27, A.
ID. 1905, Chapter AZ. Volume 2S, Of the
Laws of Delaware. should be increased
from 25 cents to 40 cents per day.
Resolved further That the Levy
Court approve OF the passage by the

ing such increase.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Why cannot something be done to
improve the horrible condition OF
Shipley street above Fourth? The
roadway at that point is full OF gull
lies and holes. resulting in many bro
ken springs and IN some instances
people nearly being thrown from their
carriages as they drive over the un-
even surface.
Perhaps the dead-broke Street and
Sewer Department would rather pay
heavy damages I'm some cases than to
expend a few cents toward having the
trouble remedied. IT seems strange
that each member Of the board should
cry poverty so loudly when for each
meeting they receive about SS from the
city. Pretty good wages for less than
two hours time.
Yours respectfully,

We HAVE No MONEY ZOE THAr IoB.

THE proposal to erect new State House at
Dover still shows sparks of life. We have
seen not single good reason why the State,
which is facing deficit in its finances should
undertake the erection of new capitol at this
time The State assuredly has more urgent need
for its money than to go to the unnecessary ex-
pense of constructing a capitol building or
spending a large amount on the one we have.
The citizens of Dover would be pleased to have
a handsome new building in the capital and it
may come later, but the present moment is mop
perfume for serious consideration of that ques-
ton.

As a person having occasion many
times a day to walk on Shipley street

protest against the common practice
Of the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany in Obstructing the Fourth street
crossings with their cars. There is
a switch near this place and when a
car stands there others are stopped di,

NEW SERMON THEMES.

Recently a series of sermons was
delivered by Rev. Newton N. Rid
dell. the we'll known lecturer, au-
thor and preacher, in the First Pres
byterian church at Tacoma. Prac-
tically all of the churches of the city
indorsed the sermons and took part
It was a sort of union religious
meeting lasting for a week.
And here are the subjects which
formed RiddelPs texts for the week:
"Science and Religion" From Ma
ture to Natures God" Brain Build
ing and Soul Growth" Psychic and
Spiritual Phenomena" "Heredity
and Parental Culture" THE Psy-
chology of Success" THE New
MAN." From Adam to Christ; "
Loves Paradise Regained."
Not a word about hell fire and
birthstone; not a suggestion of in
fant damnation; not hint of eter-
nal punishment; not a word about
the tortures Of the damned, the fear
some dread Of death or the terrible
fate OF the unbeliever.
And this is leading orthodox
church people and enthusiastic re-
liglonists!
Truly the world is climbing up to
higher outlook! To have suggest
ed such subjects in an orthodox pull
pit a few years ago would have beer
sufficient cause to have barred the
door against the speaker. Now the
subjects are not only listened to with
interest, but they are eagerly sough'
after. devoured with zest by church
goers and non-church goers and are
coming to form the principal themes
in many Of the leading pulpits Of the
land.
1t is a happy healthful, whole
some sign.

OREGON Is ALL RIGHT.

The Dalles Optimist. which is
coming 40 have as much OF a repu-
tation as a kicker as the East Ore
gonian. says that oregon would be
all right II she had not allowed her
self to be spoiled by few brainless
reformers. a few fellows who had
nothing with which to think to begin
with.
The Optmist wants the merry old
days Of senatorial fights in the leg
islature, long sacks, purchase of leg
islators like cattle and all that
cheerful old program which former
ly entertained the people biennially.
oregon is all right. It is the Op-
timist which is wrong. 1t cannot see
clearly. 1t is still in the fog of the
past. oregon is running away from
the Optlmist. She is climbing up the
hill faster than the Optimist can
travel.
Advanced republicanism, new
thought, new blood. new policies,
honesty, cleanliness and reform are
doing their work well in Oregon. The
old state. is all right. She can't help
1t if the Optimist can't keep up,
There are a lot of old fellows tag
ging" along far behind, but that isn't
the states fault.

GOOD BUSINESS SHOWING.

The testimony Of Pendleton bust
ness men that their holiday trade
this year has exceeded that of last
year by all the way from 10 to 20
per cent. bears out the repeated as
sertions of Pendleton newspapers
that the year 1907 has been the best
year in the history of the city, not
withstanding the embarrassment of
the financial furry in the east.
The furry has never actually
touched Pendleton. The volume of
business has held up steadily
throughout the year, month by
month. heavier than ever and with
increasing settlement in various
parts of the county this volume
promises to continue to grow.
The highest tribute ever paid to
the business stability of any commu-
nifty is its power to hold up under
difficulties. Towns and cities build
ed upon insecure foundations are
alarmed at every crisis in business,
they feel the ebb and flow Of fear
and the volume of business goes up
and down as the confidence Of the
nublic wavers
But in Pendleton no such spas
modic business is experienced. Every
month is better than the preceding
month; every year surpasses its pre-
decessor in business volume and the
business indicator points constantly
10 the prosperity mark.
and now for the long, strong pull
for 1903. Let US start in the ne"
year with the determination to make
il the banner year. More wheat has
been sown, more wool will be shorn
more irrigated land will be brough
under cultivation, more fruit ant
hay and other farm products viii
be harvested this year, than in an!
previous year, so the outlook fol
Pendleton is most superb.
In Umatilla county every year Il
better than any other year.

THE GNONIES.

When light has died along the distant
cloud-hills.
When day has fled behind the pur-
Pile domes.
All silent and all breathless and ex-
pectant.
Nature awaits che gnomes.
Out creeping from their hiding places
stilly,
Awakening in the cleaning and the
night,
The fateful forms. distorted, grim,
and cherries,
Renew their reign of fright.
A thousand dreams that rose In
maiden fairness,
4 thousand deaths are now VITA
horror crowned,
Dead promises and sighs and dread
despairings
In the dark night-waves drowned.
Hope changed to caHkered bitterness
and moaning;
Love slimed with treading where
love ne'er should go;
\ myriad twisted things that once
wore beauty
Walk cat-like to and fro.
And God. who sleepeth- in the higher
heaven,
Hath sent no angel with flaming
sword
The mockery of all the worlds en-
chantment
Roameth far abroad.
So. through the fitful nights and days
alternate,
Love and despair shall each the
other know;
And day shall wake its hymn to
heavens unfolding,
And night shall bear its woe.
Archer NJ. Huntington, in Every
bodys Magazine.
