TO become pioneer and moved to
Custer county, purchasing farm

Two years ago he was thrown
from a wagon and badly injured

as to be able to go about and oc-
casionally visit town.
On the 9Th of the present

fourteen days and nights his
wife, six sons and a daughter
were by his bedside constantly
and done everything that willing
hands and loving hearts could do.

There il movement among
the civil service employs 10 nave
congress enact d measure oy
which annuities can be secured
BY every membtr os the civil SER
vice. Ii Is proposed to deduct a
certain amount from ;hc salary
OF each ,iv,l service employe to
create a iuud which, with the
interest thereon at 4 per CENT,
will provide an annuity tor each
retiring employe equal To- one
and ope-half per cert OF his an
nual salary. There are further
provisions giving the retiring
employees options on taking theit
aunuities in lump sum. or secuT-
ing them annually in quarterly
payments. The central idea of
the plan is that each civil service
empl,ye shall-during his active
service-provide for his own an
nuities alter the age of retire
ment-the government handling
the fund. Ultimately the gov
ernment would not be at any cost
in the matter, but for few years
till the proper fund could be
creatGd--the government would
have to provide for the retiring
employees.

A Merchant Thinks Suitation Serious.

The REPUBLICAN is in receipt
of a continuation from a mer.
chant in one of the smaller towns
in the county calling attention
to the situation following the
stringency as it affects his bust
ness. The check system, he con.
tends, places the merchants up
against proposition from which
there is no escape. He says the
postoffice demands cash for all
money orders, declining to accept
checks. Such condition grinds
the merchant down. They ex-
cept checks in payments for their
bills, but Cannot get enough to
pay the demands made on them,
neither can they secure cash
enough to send away IN paymen,
for bills upon which cash Is de.
maded. In the meantime the
merchant is flooded with checks
ranging in amount from 10 cents
up. The writer insists that ii
the government wants to do the
fair thing it will permit the post
master to accept checks instead
of currency and make their re-
mittances in drafts. If such con.
cession is not granted he predict:
that some OF the merchants viii
be compelled to close their door:
until normal conditions are re-
stored. If the government il
afraid of drafts and boards thu
cash draining every section o
the couotry, it is doing more
to handicap business than al
other causes combined.

DEMAND FOR TEACHERS.

TN MANY cities throughout the country there
u is complaint of lack of facilities for school
children. The young ones are prevented from
attending school because OF lack OF proper
buildings and equipment In Washington alone
where the educational system is under the direct
control of the government it is estimated that 20
per cent OF the youngsters arc unable TO attend
school There is need for more buildings and
more teachers. And there is another complaint
of the lack of teachers in many cities. In New
York there is a great demand for teachers, and
where to secure them is a problem.
In recent years many young women who natu-
rally would engage in school teaching have
drifted into other and more pleasant and remit
nerahve occupations while the widening OF OPP
portunities for young men, due to the new tech
ncal professions which have developed so greatly
in recent years, decreases tho number Of young
men who would naturally follow school teaching
Then, again, the increase of education in every
direction has made natural larger demand 'or.
teachers which exceeds the supply The only
way to make the teaching occupation more rs-
tractive for the young men and young women is
TO advance the pay and this is what many school
hoards are unwilling TO do.

Mr. Mundy, Of the license committee in his
statement yesterday, declared that the commit
tee will be energetic in prosecuting any attempts
at intimidation or interfering with the voters
The anti-license committee has made similar
statements, and therefore there should be no
trouble on this score. The people Of Delaware
want fair and honest elections, aAd they propose
to have them. The old Democratic party lost
prestige and was defeated because of frauds it
perpetrated upon the ballot. Two Republican
election crooks not so long ago were made to sui
fer for their wrong doing and another man who
attempted TO dcbauch a voter was sent to the
Kent county jail only the other day. 1t is ex-
ceedingly dangerous business to commit frauds
upon the suffrage, and those who know the tenn
per Of the present attorney general are well
aware that intimidators or election crooks of
whatever character will receive no mercy at his
hands.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Apropos Of the article in your issue Of
"Wednesday. October 30th hearing upon
the condition Of New Castle under the
present system of license. The article
in question bears upon its face false
hoods from beginning to end First. TO
begin with. the entire poulation Of New
Castle does not exceed in round num-
bors over $500 people. and not 5000
population as the writer of the arti-
Gle claims. Second. The Board Of
Education does not get any support
through the license system, as il is
well known by all our citizens that the
constitution Of our State provides for
a fund. for the provision of school
funds for public education, which u.s.
one hundred thousand dollars. and the
city Of New Castle viii be provided
with the pro rate for public education
whether there Is license or not Third
In regards to the number of children
which attend our public schools, incud-
ing the number who are now i'm at
tendance at the parochial school does
not mum ber In amount the attendance
of the public schools during the period
when Taskers iron works, the wooden
mill cotton mill and -four mill. were
In operation. Fourth. Regardless Of
the assertion of the writer. stating
that there are no paupers In New
Castle. Let him consult one of the
members Of the Trustees OF the Poor.
who, if ne cares 10 do so, can give him
some Information upon the matter. that
perhaps viii make him wise To the
situation. Fifth In regards to the
number Of houses that have been built
In this town within the last FIVE year
There has not been more than ten
houses erected IN that time; and are
there any citizens I'm the city of New
Castle but know that the people who
built these houses, do not frequent the
saloons. And if IL were not for the
present condition Of affairs. now many
more people would own their homes
Doubtless, the writer knows when Ias-
ker Iron Works closed their business
in New Castle, the working class OF
people who are largely the support of
the saloons were given aid from VIII
.mington and the same conditions wolld
exist today lf the iron works closed
down. namely the Baldt and Brylgon
So far as arrests for drunkenness and
disorder, there is hardly a week that
some case Of this character is not up
before the squire or mayor. It is
well-known fact among the people Of
New Castle. that many a young man
has fallen by the wayside. and has gone
to his long home by the evil influence
of drink. In conclusion. desire TO say
that IL is very evident that the writer
of the article in question did not write
this letter of fallacy. to deceive tho
people of New Castle. as they cannot
be fooled by misrepresentation. But il
was his intention to fool voters, living
.outside OF our city.

In the description of the tercenten-
airy convention Of the Episcopal
Church. the Living Church gives an
interesting account OF the visit Of the
Bishop Of London In colonial times
the king of England granted the
Bishops Of LONDON jurisdiction over
America and over all children born on
the high seas. 1t was impossible for
English bishop to make the long voy-
age in those days and it was uncom-
fortabe for the American Church 10
wait until all matters from organs to
clergy had been referred to London.
This present visit is the first time a
Bishop Of London has ever set foot on
American soil. and he brought with
him the large illuminated parchment
given to his predecessors to add
America to their see Although there
have been Bishops Of London for
thirteen hundred years. and they live
in palace. Bishop Winnington-ln-
gram is described as a simple, demo-
cratic man. witty and direct in speech,
and chiefly interested in the work in
the London slums.

WANING HARDWOOD SUPPLY.

a LTHOUGH the demand for hardwood lum-
= Der is greater than ever before the annual
cut to-day is billion feet less than it was seven
years ago. In this time the wholesale price Of
the different classes Of hardwood lumber adj
vanced from IS to 65 per cent. The cut OF oak
which in 1900 was more than half the total cut Of
hardwoods has fallen off 90 per cent Yellow
poplar, which was formerly second in point OF
output, has fallen off SO per cent and elm has
fallen off one-half
The cut Of softwoods is over four times that os

The cooperage, furniture and vehicle industries
depend upon hardwood timber, and the railroads,

tensively
This leads TO the question Where is the future

Lake States the presence Of hardwoods is an al
most certain indication Of rich agricultural land
and when the hardwoods are cut the land is turn
sed'permanently to agricultural use In Arkansas
Louisiana and Mississippi the production Of hard
woods is clearly at its extreme height. and in
Missouri and Texas it has already begun to de-

The answer 10 the question: therefore. would

contain the largest body Of hardwood timber left
IN the United States. On them grow the greatest
variety Of tree species anywhere to be found.
Protected from fire and reckless cutting. they pro-
duce the best kinds of timber, since their soil and
climate combine to make heavy stands and rapid
growth Yet much Of the Appalachian forest has
been so damaged in the past that it will be years
before it will again reach high state of product
iveness. Twenty billion feet of hardwoods would
be conservative estimate of the annual product

the Appalachians if they were rightly managed.
Until they are we can expect a shortage in hard

A report throughout the middle West, whence
comes large part of our table supplies, says that
lower prices may soon be expected. The feeling
IS said to be strong that the drop in the valua-
ton OF securities which are manipulated in Wall
street will cause substantial fall in the price of
food commodities. The jobbers and retailers and
the trusts which manipulate the food products be-
heve that they cannot be held up much longer
in any movement upward OF prices the consumer
IS always struck carly in the game, but when the
downward drop begins it is sone time before the
consumer gets the benefit. The jobbers hold on
to the advance as long as they think the trade
will bear IT,
