GOVERNOR HUGHES.

HAT the claims of Governor Hughes. OF
- New York, as a g presidential possibility
were not urged in more aggressive manner
at the recent meeting of the Republican National
Committee has caused surprise in the Empire
State. Efforts were made by the boomers of other
candidates to attract national attention to the oc
casion. The ever present Speaker Cannon talk was
in evidence as was an attempt to bring Cortelyou
seriously before the country as rare bit of pres-
dental timber. Naturally there was gossip about
Foraker and Taft in view of the Ohio battle for
supremacy.
Governor Hughes, however has done nothing
and has urged his friends to do nothing toward
furthering his presidential aspirations if he has
any. The governor is attending strictly to bust
ness as the chief magistrate of great State that
needs his services. The governor even when he
was nominated, was not popular with the poiti-
clans. Men who look upon politics as their busi-
ness for the promotion of selfish ends feared the
governor as a candidate. But he was drafted from
the ranks ofJhe people and if he is called to the
presidential nomination it will be by the people
and not by the leaders or manipulators of polit
cal conventions.

THAT GRAVEL PIT.

III JUDGING from his caustic letter in TIE
J JOURNAL. yesterday, Mr.. J. r. Hoffecker,
a respected citizen of ST. Georges hundred, has
worked himself into an unpleasant frame of
mind because OF that gravel pit Mr.. Hofecker
is needlessly disturbed. His letter in TIE
JOURNAL and subsequent developments have
caused the Levy Court 10 order an investigation
OF the pit and this we fancy is what Mr.. Hol-
fecker desired
The article printed in THE JOURNAL. to
which Mr. Hohecker excepts, was, as he says,
written by a reporter after talks with Levy Court
commissioners. The letter Of Mr.. IIoffecker and
subsequent investigations led one of our contem-
poraries to scent a serious "odor Of graft about
the pit. Mr.. Hoffecker objects to the word, and
it is true that he did not in that language charge
Tgraft" But in his original letter he said: There
have been hundreds Of loads taken from out of
this pit for private use, given away and, perhaps,
sold, yet have no knowledge of any money hav-
ing been turned into the hundred or county for
the same
From this statement and others some persons
evidently believed that Mr.. Hofecker thought
people were grating the gravel What other
inference could they draw? They may have been
wrong in that assumption just as Mr.. Hofecker
is seriously wrong in his conclusion that the local
story in THE JOURNAL about the matter was
a 'pad-for article" In charging THE JOUR
NAL with unfairness, Mr. Hoffecler dug pit
himself and fell into it.
We agree with Mr., Hofecker that more pub
city about county matters would be better for
the taxpayers, and instead of assailing THE
JOURNAL, Mr. Hoffecker should give us
share OF thanks because an alleged abuse which
he had failed, according to his statement to have
corrected without undue publicity, is promptly
taken up by the court and will be investigated as
result OF his letter 70 this paper.

LEE FLuRRY AND PoLITIcs.

RI OW the recent financial furry will affect
= political conditions next year is a topic Of
discussion at Washington. Industrial affairs
usually play an important part in presidential
elections and it is with this idea in mind that the
opponents OF the President have sedulously
sought to exploit Roosevelt panc,7 as they
call it. Should we have serious hard times" the
party in power woud doubtless DC held largely
responsible and be affected adversely
II is evident, even to the casual observer, that
the recent furry proceeded from Wall street and
was not due to general disturbed industrial con-
ditons. No one whispered "hard times or even
a check in our prosperity until the administration
OF the President began to dsplease the New York
group who think they have predestned right to
govern the country and who regard the admins
tration as figure to do their bidding The
fundamental causes of real hard times were lack
ing But under our prevalent system with enor-
nous concentration of wealth in the hands of
lew and with monetary system that makes pos
sible the easy manipulation Of the currency.
1t IS not hard for a cotere of powerful
financial magnates to cause trouble. That is
what has been done in this instance The furry
was due purely to the operations Of the New
York or Wall street system, and this alone is held
responsible.
1t will be noticed that even Bryan. who would
be quick TO take advantage of any political oppor
tunity has not condemned the President.

PROTECTION OF MINERS.

R EHIND other nations is America in caring
~ for her miners. Those who delve into the
earth for their livelihood lead perous existence.
Some awful disaster, like that in West Virginia,
recalls our remissness. This neglect applies not
only to miners, but to other workers Last
year in the United States nearly 5000 workmen
were killed or injured. Two thousand of them
died as the direct result Of their wounds This
record is appalling.
1t is an average in deaths by accident of four
TO every 1000 men employed. In Europe the
average is fewer than one to every 1000 of the
employed In Germany, England, France and
Belgium, laws forbid the use in mines of any ex-
cept safety explosives Chiefly under these
laws the death rate of miners by accident has
been lowered to a fair average figure. Yet in no
State of the Union is there sufficient law to pro-
tect miners, and what law exists is not enforced
Congress should take some action for the protec-
ton of the army OF toerB.

POOR PAY OF TEACHERS.

The lot Of the Maryland school teacher from
a a financial viewpoint, is not happy. The
report of the State Board OF Education shows that
Maryland teachers receive low pay, with no pros
pect Of an immediate increase. For instance in
Nicomico county the average salary of a school
teacher is S274 year. Dorchester county holds
the lowest rank in the payment of Maryland
teachers, the average being only S23I year. The
salaries paid in Wicomco exceed those Of eight
other counties not credtabe showing for
Maryland The cost Of educating pupils is SfoIS
in Wicomico county, which is about the average
OF rural counties.
These figures illustrate that in comparison with
other occupations the compensation of school
teachers in the rural districts is exceedingly low
There is hardly vocation in which the reward is
moi larger andathe scarcity Of teachers may be
explained by their small pay.

DISPENSING cHARITY'

M HEN considering distribution Of your
Christmas cheer, it is good plan to re-
member the charitable organizations, whose spe-
cial field is looking after the worthy poor The
managers OF such organizations investigate de-
serving cases and the money they expend in re-
lieving the suffering OF the unfortunate usually
goes in the right direction. In some cities all who
are disposed to lend helping hand during the
holidays are requested to send their contributions
to the charitable organizations, and this is largely
followed in Wilmington. The object is to assist
those who really need aid, and not TO help the
worthless, the improvident the loafers and those
who refuse to do for themselves even when they
have the opportunity. Christmas is made better
and brighter by the liberality Of those who have
and one OF their obligations is to aid their dis
tressed fellows. Remember the charitable or
ganizations during these days. They always need
contributions, and the demands upon them are
large at this time

MAYPUT WORKHOUSE
ON BANKS OF RIVER
CHIEF KERN WON OVER TO
NEWEST PLAN
Department. Willing to Compromise
with Majority of Council in
Order to Relieve Jail
Quickly

Sentiment in the city council on tiie
workhouse plan is rapidly switching to-
ward the river bed scheme. This calls
for stockade on the east bank of the
Los Angeles river, beyond the Seventh
street bridge.
Councilman Dromgold has been the
most earnest advocate of the scheme 10
erect stockade in Chavez ravine near
the detention hospital, but the Second
Ward Improvement association has asked
Councilman Clampitt to fight such plan
as there is school near there, the roads
are bad in the rainy season, and besides
the Second ward does not seek q monop-
oily OF all city institutions of that kind
Chief of Police Ed Kern is said to nov
favor the river bed site because of the
good roads to and from that point and
the moral effect of having penal instit,i-
ton there on the hoboes who every VIM
ter loiter in that district. Quick action
is the chiefs most earnest desire, hen ce
he favors a compromise measure.
Councilman Blanchard is the chief op-
ponent of the river bed scheme as it
affects his ward The people near thero
say the drainage there will be bad, and
besides it is not a pleasant sight to see
the chaingang driven through their ward
oaily.
AS both are city-owned sites, one or am
other will be chosen, the need for such
2 place becoming greater every day be
cause of the overcrowded Jail.
Most of the work of construction can
be done by the chaingang, hence the con-
crete buildings and the fences can be
erected within a few weeks after author
ization is given.
The architects have drawn the plans
and will submit them at Mondays meet
