Tired of Situation.

tired of it. I want our city fathers to have an opportunity to consider some- thing else besides whisky. I want this whole obtrusive, arrogant. domineering business taken out of our politics. We would as well make up our minds to one thing-we must whip the saloon out of ex- istence now or fight it over and over In every municipal election hereafter.

DELAWARE LIQUOR
MEN AREWARNED
Against COnteSting PrOhi-
bitiOn in Two Counties.

DOVER, della, Nov. 9.-tSpe-
iaD Wilmington whiskey men
or any of their agents or lawyers at
tempt to force a contest of the prohib-
itory law now fayorably passed upon
by Kent and Sussex Counties, and
about to be put into force, they will
never get over the rebound of such
fling" This statement was made at
the State headquarters of the anti
license party.
What will we do?" the State lead
er who was talking continued. why,
first we will knock out their contest
and close up the saloons as contem-
plated by the decision of the people
of central and lower Delaware at the
polls.
"Then we will give them dose of
absolute prohibition for the entire
State through the next Legislature.
Now we do not desire to force as
sweeping prOhibitory law upon our
opponents as was done in Georgia,
when o-thirds of that State voted
against license, but the arrogance and
impudence of Ounr practically van
quished monopolists of the other
side make such a campaign now nes-
essary for self-defense.
How could we do it?
"Well, twenty-one hundreds of the
thirty-fve in the State went dry on
Tuesday, and each can easily elect a
temperance man to the Legislature.
Twenty-one beats fourteen every
time"
State Chairman Alexander DAILY
does not favor the State prohibition
talk and laughs at the new party idea.
Asked concerning the threatened con-
test he replied: ooh, that's that same
old contest threat Let them try it.
l suppose they'll notify some fellow
to go on selling and make a test in
the Supreme Court
This attitude of the liquor men
was forcibly demonstrated last night
when the big crowds of thirsty ones
stood about until midnight, expecting
the saloons to open. They were great
ly disappointed for the saloons kept
their doors closed until this morn
ing. The first move goes to show
that there will be different methods in
the future in the sale of intoxicants
in the districts where the wet ma
jorities were given.

BOARDING MONEY
CAUSED REGENT CRISIS
James ]. Hill Advised Early
Return te Circulation.

ST. PAL, MINI, Nov. 9.-(Spe-
ciaD jam J. Hill tonight gave out
the followe.ing statement regarding
the financial situation:
There is nothing in the actual
business cor litions of the country to
cause or to account for the financial
stress everywhere so severely felt.
The crops are good, and until money
began to disappear, prices were
higher than for many years. Buying
and selling are not interrupted, trade
is active, business as a whole is
sound at the core.
Neither is there an insufficient
volume of money in the country A
year ago there was enough for all
current needs The notion that Wall
Street has in some mysterious way
absorbed it has no foundation. As
matter of fact the stock transactions
are only abaut half what they we're
then, with prices greatly reduced
Probably this requires only from one
third to one-fourth of the money that
was needed last year.
The trouble clearly comes from
the boarding of money; not by the
few but by the many Investors,
both large and small, feel uncertain
about the future of business enter
prises, sound and unsound alike.
THE consequences bear most hard
ly upon the farmer. The fruits of a
years labor are now just gathering,
ready for the market. He has the
food supply ready, and the world
needs and is able to purchase it. But
the movement from producer to con-
sumner requires the use of both
money and credit.
THE best and quickest remedy is
for every man who is boarding money
to return it to its usual employment
1t is he who is doing the mischief.
AS has been seen, the money is in
this country, but it must be made
available. 1t is as much the duty OF
every citizen to deposit all his sur
plus in cash in the banks, which are
entirely sound and solvent, as it
would be to subscribe to war loan
In this way will money be put in
to circulation, and the financial in
stitutions of the country be enabled
to make the advances without which
business cannot be done"

No Outside Interference

Let us have racial peace without
any interference from the outside and
we can hope from the natural evolu-
ton of things for a solution of this
great problem, as of most others. God
rules this world, and not the devil
Things go right in the long run, and
not wrong. / am an optimist, and
not a pessimist Remember what
Jefferson said in his first inaugural
address, when he said that we are
and | hope he told the truth-"en-
lightened by a benign religion, profess
sed, indeed, and practiced in various
forms, yet all of them including hon
esty, truth, temperance, gratitude and
the love of man, acknowledging and
and adoring an oyerruling Provi-
dence, which by all it's dispensations
proves that it delights in the happi-
ness of man here and his greater
happiness hereafter"
Remembering with the apostle of
American Democracy that it is under
this sort of benignant Providence
that we all live and have our being
white, black, red and yellow-and that
while black and white are not the
same animal physically, mentally, or
morally, nor in any sense equal, ac-
tually or potentially, and cannot be
made so by platforms or by laws, they
are yet both the creatures of one God,
Is it too much for me to leave with
you the parting injunction that in the
face of this great problem it would
be well that wise men think more, that
good men pray more, and that all men
talk less and curse less?

A correspondent thinks it lamenta-
BILE that men should continue to eat
oranges by the indicate means OF sue
ton, or the savage method of tearing
and quartering. There is but one
manner-if the ladies of Crawford
had but known it-of eating, or rath-
er slipping, that fruit of which new
seasons supply will soon be on us.
Shave off a little circle of peel thick
enough to expose shilling-sized
round of the edible fruit. Well, you
simply introduce a teaspoon and eat
adding sugar whenever you like. The
curious thing is that, but for the pips,
everything seems to disappear except
juice There is nearly nothing to re-
