NECESSITY AN ELEMENT OF SUCCESS.
BY James J. Hill

The time for a man to retire from
active business depends on condi-
tIons. Some men are young at 10,
others are old at 80. The method
OF living. the occupation, habits, sue
cesses or failures all have their in
f1uences.
There is one thing that young men
feel is burden and hardship, and
want TO tell them they are wrong.

NEW YORK. July 2o.-Garden truck
bearing union labels is the latest thing
proposed in Eewburg, n. Y. Farmers
in that vicinity have organized and
asked for utilization with the Central
Labor Union.
The only rock in the path OF the
brand-new idea is whether a union label
can be affixed to vegetables. II farm
ers can overcome this difficulty they
Will be welcomed by the labor unions,
and walking delegates will include
kitchen inspection among their duties.
Farmers recently met at Searsvilie
and formed the Orange County Union
Their idea is to cut out the middleman's
profits and sell directly to consumers,
For some years exactions by commits
sion merchants have grown and profits
to farmers and tillers of the soil have
been cut. The plan is TO form a COM
pany composed exclusively of members
Of the union to operate a large exchange

MAY HIS MODEST AMBITION SUCCEED.

GHOWING that he is as much a stranger to
~ the truth as he is to ordinary civility, and
that he may continue his abuse. which he mis-
calls criticism" of Congressman Burton, the
editor of the Delaware Pilot reiterates his false
statement respecting the survey Of the proposed
new route connecting Rehoboth and Delaware
bays He says a survey for that new project
could have been put through the last Congress,
though there was no River and Harbor bill.' In
making that statement the Pilots editor displays
the same amount of information and knowledge
he does in discussing many other public matters
He either does not know what he is talking about
or he makes deliberate false statement But
"What difference does that make, so ] can keep
up my abuse OF DR.. Burton?" may ask the editor
OF modest ambition who says he is trying hard,
but we fear Intellectually, "to keep above the low
level However, he has our best wishes, and
we hope he will not be discouraged if inhis early
efforts he does not make much progress.
The would-be naive editor Of the Pilot tries to
make it appear that he did not deserve the
scourging he received for his unfair treatment of
Congressman Burton. He says, "We did not so
much as mention the Congressman's name" by
which statement he implies that he was not re-
ferring to DR. Burton, but to another of our
States many Congressmen. What a very clever
defensel How did the Pilot editor ever think of
it? But, Editor Wolf says he is "free to print an
honest newspaper" Well, all we desire to ask
is, why does he not do it. and cease his abuse and
vilihcation OF his towns most distinguished and
highly respected citizen which reflects no credit

REMINDING THEM OF THEIR DUTY.

THE Republican State Committee yesterday
decided to indorse the platform of the
party at the last election and passed a resolution
to that effect. The members of the Legislature
arc urged to keep the promises that were made
to the people in the platform of the State Con-
vention. To do otherwise would mean breach
of faith for all the candidates for the Legislature
were elected as supporting the principles of the
party as expressed in its platform. We presume
the members of the General Assembly will heed
the resolution adopted by the State Committee
1t should never have been necessary for the COM
mittee to have passed that resolution. The prod
ding should not have been needed Gut the
members OF the Legislature now understand tie
the State Committee.
The attitude of the committee, and indeed, OF
the last Republican State Convention did not By
any means commit the Republicans to prohibi-
ton. There is a vast difference between prohi-
Lition and local option although some seem TO
confuse the terms All that the platform said
, and the resolutions urged was that the people
shall have alright to vote on the question of
whether liquor shall OF shall not be sold 1t is
not an Endorsement Of the principle Of prohibi-
ton, but privilege given to the people to ex-
press themselves on the subject
Many Of the Democratic members also favor
local option and it is the general belief, even
among those who are bitterly opposed to the ills,
that local option viii come sooner or later in

there could be no objection to the prohibition Of
pawnbrokers accepting such pledges for the
small amount OF money, which, nine times out Of
ten, would find its way into the till of the rum
seller. Yet meritorous as is the bill, it has ap-
parently been pigeonholed by the Senate commit
tee to which it was entrusted for consideration
Two years ago. and at previous sessions OF the
