The strawberry season which is
fast drawing to a close has been
profitable season with growers and
has helped those who had become
discouraged over the continuous
wet spring weather. Conditions
among the growers down the state
have been much better than around
Smyrna. ''It will be a mistake
says the Milford Chronicle to set
the profits of 1907 from strawberry
culture, as an average, as it may
not occur again for several years,
but it is a fact, that the strawberry
has been a gold mine for Sussex
county in the past fifteen years. In
the eastern part of Sussex lands
have been made to produce from
one to two hundred dollars per
acre, which before the era of the
strawberry, were not worth more
than ten dollars per acre, and the
people are now supporting two
thrifty banks at Selbyville very
largely from the profits of berry
growing. While the present season
is an unusual one as to prices, there
are many other seasons where the
profits have been very large and
satisfactory to the growers, and in
the next ten years, we expect to
see the assessed valuation ofSussex
county exceeded the farming lands
of the most prosperous part Of New
Castle or Kent. >"

Our Cheswold correspondent
omitted last week to give mention
to the excellent address Of Rev.
Marina Poulson on "How to Teach
Temperance in the Sabbath School"
at a recent convention held in Ches-
wold. This was an oversight and
was not intentional. The conven-
ton much appreciated the sacrifice
Mr.. Poulson made in coming to
Delaware to talk on the subject of
temperance, for just at this time
there is no subject nearer and
dearer to the hearts of the good
people Of the little Diamond State.
Mr.. Poulson gave some excellent
advice to the Sabbath School work
ers and his address was one which
was carried home and will be re-
membered. The Times regrets that
it was omitted and assures the
workers that it fully endorses the
effort made by Mr.. Poulson to sci
forth this great moral question in a
way that it may be better taught
and understood in every Sunday
School of Delaware.

sion fifty-siq days, 1t is better known

did. 1t did not abolishthe feesisystem,
it did not pass primary election law
it did not take off the state tax; it did

straight two cent law; it not enact an
antitrust law; it did not pass sutfi-

Dawsou's Political Machine.

Governor Dawson s political machine
is growing greater and stronger every
day. No opportunity has been lost to
add to its mechanism AID it is now
reaching a stage of completeness where
its owner is confident that its mower
will lift him into the United States
Senate. The legislature has helped him
in his purpose aud has handed cover 10
him another powerful lever in the Gre
alton of county boards of equalization.
Says the Parkersburg Sentinel in dis
cussing this latest innovation of tax re-
formers:
There is no let up in the determine
ton of Governor Dawson to clinch Sc
curely the creation of the great politi-
cal machine he is building up in this
state, nor is there any willingness
on the part of the legislature
assist in the nefarious work in
every way it can. A bill has been pass
ed to create in every county, a board of
equalization of three mem bers, who
are to be appointed by the Governor.
A more unfair law to the people of the
different counties of the state could
not be well devised, and a more dis
honest measure is impossible. Not that
board of equalization is bad thing
in itself, because such body may pos
sess elements of usefulness, end serve
| good purpose in the transaction of
county affairs. Such boards exist in
many other states, and they have not
been found useless, but in other states
they are of local creation, and frequent
ly the board is made to consist of other
county officials elected by the people.
But here is proposed to have board
to do the Governors bidding instead
of one to right the wrongs of the as
SCISSORS if there are any.
That the Governor is grossly unfit
to make these appointments IN fair
manner is shown by the work of the
board last appointed by him to value
the real estate. Every citizen of Park
ersburg known the character of the
work done by that board. Also what
better is to be expected of any other
board appointed as they were? Their
obligation is to the Governor, and not
to the people, and they will govern
themselves accordingly.

An admirable magazine is the Sep
TENDER Atlantic, varied, brilliant, and
readable as ever. The leader, a divorce
article, "Why American Marriages
FAIL" by Anna A. Rogers, presents a
new and unexpected view of this great
question. An historical sketch Earl
Percy's Dinner-Table," by Harold Muir
dock, is of unusual interest to students
of the American Revolution. Edward
A. Ross in this issue adds "The Rules
of the Game" to his series of popular
essays on business ethics, and Frances
A. Keller contributes some striking
pages on 1.-THE Immigrant Woman"
The September number of the Nation
al is filled with an abundance of high
class fiction and verse, and it is num-
Der that will appeal to magazine readers
at this time of the season. Among the
special articles is one by Sidney J.
Dillon on "The Des Moines Plan," deal
ing with the new method of city govern
ment in Iowa's capital, and "Levelling
Our Population" by Carlyle Ellis. The
departments, affairs at Washington"

AS he left the room he was met by a

The policeman trooped out. May
hew, finding the run at an end, left his
post, and entered the managers room.
Mr.. Basing was sitting on the trunk,
wiping his face and laughing. He got
up and gripped Mayhew's hand.

Come to Work.

For the year ending June 80. 1905,
sol, 5s5 women, nearly one half the
number of men, came to this country.
The great majority of these came here
for work. Nineteen out of every 100
native American women are engaged
in gainful occupations, but 80 out of
every 100 foreign-born women are so en-
gagged, and the percentage is increasing.
In my investigation of several thou
sand unmarried immigrant women
and married immigrant women with
out children, who had arrived with
in three years, fully 80 per cent were
found at work or looking for work
Furthermore, among such nationalities
as the Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians,
and others, young women are banding
together and coming over in small
gangs without connections of any kind
on this side, for the purpose of working.
