WILD GAME AT REHoBorH

LEwEs, DEL. December 5th.-Residents
Of Rehoboth report that there has not
been as mnch wild game in Rehoboth
bay and its. tributaries for years as is at
present there this season, and conse-
quently the chance for sport is the best
for some time. Frank L. Chase, freight
agent at Rehoboth, and for years a regu-
lar visitor to the bay for. wild game, is
authority for the statement that it is
there in abundance this season.
Quite number Of visiting sporisnen
are there already, aud doubtless the news
Of so much chance for sport will soon
spread and Rehoboth will be oyerTun
with the sportsmen Who have enjoyed
shooting ducks and geese from the blinds
at various places in the bay. The law
has stopped the shooting of game from
steam launches, which vas getting to be
such fad that it was a menace to the
sport.

"We read in the newspapers
about a panic now grasping the
country, the Roosevelt panic"
some Democratic papers call it,
and compare it with the Cleve-
land panic from '93 to '96. Well,
we are not afraid to talk out about
two periods, politics or no poll
tics. They are always enough
fair and square people in the
land TO pronounce honest iudg-
ment Oh every man.
where is this Roosevelt panic
raging that we read about? This
writer sold his wheat last Satur-
day for SO cents q bushel, which
however was a poor sale, the
panic talk having got in a whack
on our wheat pile, and the wheat
crop of 1907 was a good one here
in the east. Corn if in order will
sell for go cents at home, oats
have been as high as so cents.
White potatoes are quoted at IS
to 20 ceAts. This writer sold his
veal calves through the year
at average of $13 or little
better and they were very
ordinary calves at that Turkeys
will bring 20 cents a pound, and
our dressed ducks from the farm
sold in Philadelphia last week for
Il cents a pound. How is that
for Il panic? And who will lift his
voice against US if We cry, give
US more panics jnst like it.

SHOPPING BY MAIL

Every body knows about the
catalogue houses and other big
establishments which advertise
to do mail order business. The
theory upon which they proceed
is to pick out a few articles of
common consumption and sell
them at wholesale prices per.
haps, or even less. If a popular
copyrighted book is published
they will buy them in large guam
titles and put them on the
market at their cost price, and
this serves two purposes; it
aids them in killing off the local
dealers by showing a great con.
trast between the mail order
house and the local dealer. Ii
also operates as an excellent al-
vertising scheme. Seeing these
low prices upon articles which
the people know about, they
readily conclude that the com
pany advertising these things 50
wonderfully low are selling
everything on correspondingty
low basis. The next deceit is the
quality of the goods, They ad
vertise apparently the same art
that your retailer does, at lower
price and soon they make the
non-expert believe that he bet,
ter buy all his goods Of them.
He proceeds to do 50 and actually
pays more III the. end than lie
would pay his local a salefftl reg
ular prices.
These houses male up much
more on the goods which you do
not understand than they lose

-85 cents. We sold a very good
crop Of bright oats one year for
20 cents a bushel. A good calf
was worth Sc, a nicely fatted
turkey 10 or IL cents a pound, a
fat duck 8 cents. Oh, they were
delightful days for the salaried
man, and we shook him rightand
shook him left about it, and still
he cried the louder, "Grover,
Grover, four years more of
Grover. Well we got the four
years, those of us who survived
them. In that day the song was
first sung in the land "down the
street to the soup house" and
"over the bills to the poor house"
and still the capitalist and sala-
ried men picked the cheep turkey
out of their teeth and shouted
"no fifty cent dollars for u.s."
Undoubtedly four or six
weeks ago in the present year,
this country looked in the wide
gaping mouth of as ugly looking
a panic as ever opened its jaws to
devour the business of a land.
Everything seemed to be ad-
iusted to it. Fhe country banks
had their surplus money in the
city banks, and the city banks had
it out in every form of specula.
ton. When like o clap of thun-
der in a clear sky, the people sud-
denly arose and rushed to the
banks for their deposits. No
hurrying and scurrying among
the banks could have withstood
this assault, and the country
seemed doomed to fall like o tree
broken down by Its fruit. Then
it was that Roosevelt rushed to the
scene to put the FIRE ont. No red
tape restrained him from bring
ing the great wealth and credit
of his government to stay the
confagration, and it stopped.
The people saw and believed that
the man could and would protect
them, and confidence regained
its feet. Yes he offered to issue
bonds, but bonds to save the
people, and unlike the Cleveland
bonds that were issued to save
the Government.
"Bryan would doubtless have
done the same. The two men
are not wide apart, waving party
lines. But narrow is the man

not thank Theodore Roosevelt to-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

HE FkLOiDENI . HtA-SohNL
The annual message Of the
President to the Congress is a
most voluminous docu M e n t,
touching upon and discussing as
itdoes. the many varied interests
of the country. Mr.. Roosevelt
stands pat on his former utter
ances on the leading questions
now prominent before the people.
He still insists that the recent
panic was not due to his talks,
but due solely to the light thrown
upon the dishonest practices OF
some of the multi millionaires in
giving the water cure to stocks
and other securities within their
control, and tie consequent feel
ing of dread engendered among
investors and prospective inves-
tors. 1t would probably be too
much To ask for careful reading
of the message, but a study OF
the salient points will well repay
those interested in good govern
ment.
There is one point in the mes.
sage, however, that is of vital
interest to this community.
Thatis the Recommendation for a
Federal inspection of grain en-
tering into interstate commerce.
EUery eUeping tries to make fun
of this proposition and says, that
under such system, it would be
impossible for a Delaware farmer
to sell his wheat or corn to a
Pennsylvania without the inter-
vention of United States officer.
This remark plainly shows the
ignorance Of the writer as to
present conditio ms. As every
farmer in Delaware knows, it is
impossible now for him to sell a
Pennsylvania or for that matter,
to Delawarean, if the latter be
a dealer in grain land these lat
ter buy practically all the grain
that is sold in DelaWare) without
the intervention of an inspector,
and that inspector an employee
of the purchaser. 1t stands to
reason that seller will come
nearer getting a square deal from
disinterested Federal official
than from the present system,
when, under certain conditions
as to market supply and demand,
it may be for the interest of the
purchaser to have a. lower grad.
ing than would ordinarily be the
case. As a rule the inspectors
of grain are honest men but even
honest men are swayed and must
be swayed by the tone and tenn
per of their employers. No mat
ter what else the present Con-
gress may do, and there is plenty
of work mapped out for the mem
bers,. it should adopt this recon-
mendation Of the President and
quickly put grain and such
other products of the farmer un-
der the same kind of inspection
and grading as is done for the
manufacturers of beef and other
animal products. The seal of the
U. S. Inspector fixes the quality
and corsosl asnTly the price of
beef and pork. Let it also fix the
quality of wheat, corn. oats, &c.D

decrease the value Of town and
adjacent country property, and
you are doing it yourself. You
are saving a few cents on a bar
rel of salt and reducing the price
Of your farm by the act.
Suppose you would only buy
the bargains-just the goods
that you understand and know to
be bargains. How long do you
suppose the mail order house
would do business? Not very
,oag. They ley upon the bait
which they set and it works in a
I,large number of cases to perfec-
tion. Barnum said that the
American people delighted in be-
ing humbugged, that his show
was lheg greatest hum bug on earth
and that was the reason he got
such large crowds. We are
always looking for bargains
and that is all right. But
because some one adyertiSes one
article for less than they are
worth. that is no inference that
he sells other articles for less than
they are worth. In fact, the op.
posite inference is true, namely,
if he sells one thing for less than
it is worth, he must sell the next
for that much more than it
is worth to make up the loss on
the first article, otherwise he
would soon go bankrupt and out
Of business. By dealing with
these great commercial centers
we are centralizing a vast
amuont of trade at the expense OF
other cities and towns through
out this beautiful country of ours.
How would we like it if there
were no towns except the ones
where the mail order houses do
business? How would it effect
the value of our property! All
of US like to live near thriving
towns and yet in many cases the
people adjoining the towns whose
financial standing depends upon
the existence of the town, and
whose land values are nearly
twice as great because of its near
ness 10 town are sending to
Chicago for goods that are kept
right here, and what is worse,
they are getting beaten on every
article bought, let alone the dam
age done to the local dealer who
is usually one, of the principal
factors in keeping up the town.
There is no logic in the situa-
tion Your local dealers can
furnish you your articles for one
year as cheap or cheaper than
you can get them in Chicago, be-
sides if you happen to get some
thing you can't use, you can cas-
lily adjust it with your local deal
er. We insist that the quality of
the goods bought at home is in
variably better than those bought
in Chicago. You are all opposed
to trusts, why help in building
them up? That is just what you
are doing by sending to Chicago
for your goods. As we give the
trusts our financial or moral
support, We are creating masters
for ourselves. Are we SO mer-
cinary that for the purpose of
saving a few cents, we are WILL
ing to hazard the future Of our
children.
Let's have the patriotism and
the stamina to say that the inter-
est Of oursshome town shall first
be protected, and when we have
done our whole duty by our To-
cal interests we will find that we
are worth more in dollars and
cents than we are sending to
Chicago for our supplies, and we
will have retarded the progress
