Dr. J Mcdonald, of Bingham r.: on ZOOS and '09: In 1907 the spring will be wet and cold, summer wet, hot and muggy, fall wet with early frosis. The weather will be mild to Dec. 15 1908 will be cold and gloomy and 1900 will be year of terror such as wilS never be forgotten by the present generation Dark visaged men will swarm the Atlantic coast and heartless hcathens will devastate the Pacific coast, but they will be driven back into the sea nd destroyed as so many rats and vermin
 There will be three long years of war for the United States from 1908 to 1911, with her two most powerful enemies = England and Germany. The Russian. Japanese war will have been but child's play in comparison, but with a differ ent ending, for England and Germany will be crushed beyond recovery England will lose all her possessions in the Westel world and Germany will be in helpless slavery to pay the enormous cost ot war.
 ''Fhe United States, while she will suffer tremendous losses of ships and cities and great loss of life, will have gained great territory and indemuities and, above all, the integrity of the Union. France will also ta'ke advan- tage of the war to gain possession ot territory long coveted from England and Japan"
 The Yellow race China and Japap) will also make an unsuccessful attempt to war on the United States during this time, but through diplomacy and the friendship of Russia, France and Italy they will gain nothihg but tho i'll will of America.

SECURING NEW INDUSTRIES.

nj O DOUBT efforts of property owners who
hold out for big prices for their land when
new industries propose to come here are more
irritating than the Board of Trade is willing to
admit The board, wise and diplomatic, does not
want to emphasize this phase of the struggle for
new industries in Delaware and perhaps il would
not have been mentioned had not the problem be
come serious. While we are crying Wilmington,
we do not want it said that any manufactures who
may come to this city with a legitimate enterprise
is likely to be held up by the fortunate person
who owns property that may be desired for
manufacturing or other purposes by the new
oomers. OF course it is hard for citizens who
compose the active forces of the Board of Trade
and who give their time and talents to advancing
Wilmington, to find others who should be con-
cerned as much as the active ones, waiting to
profit by the endeavors of the Board of Trade
A hold-up by property owners is the most ef-
iective means imaginable to block city's pros
perity and growth Have we not had sufficient
illustration Of what narrowness sclhshness and
greed will do to thwart the progress of city?
Can the present element of the city work har-
moniously and with fairness and Justice for the
advance Of Wilmington? And such advancement
can be made only where property owners are
willing to take a reasonable amount for their
property which is desired for new enterprises.
Can Wilmington, at present constituted. adj
vance along rational lines, or shall we have to
wait for number of funerals and the iniectment
OF more new blood from distance into the ar
teries Of our body polite

ROOSEVELT ON rHE LAW.

ID RESIDENT ROOSEVELT in his tribute tc
- the late President Mckinley at the Canton
rnveiling ceremonies, again calls for fair play be-
tween the rich and the poor and the treatment Of
all citizens alike. He rebukes the yellow rich
and declares that they, above all Others should
held accountable for the observance Of the law
They should set the example ihe President gets
at the root of the matter. In some curious way
the notion obtained and is followed in practice
that the accumulation of money renders person
immune from punishment, and hence when il +
developed that the wealth man possesses does
not necessarily mark him as a good or desirable
citizen, but, the other hand, the possession OF
great wealth sometimes means that it is ill-got-
ten, there is surprise and anger The yellow rich
try to hide behind the skirts Of those who have
obtained their wealth by honest endeavor.
The President has stirred up a turmoil that by
no means will be ended in the near future. and
yet it is problem that is as old as history itself
When the brutal tyrant Nero saw half dozen
rich monopofsts take possession and own whole
island near Rome, he calmly arrested them and
chopped off their heads Perhaps it is lucky for
Rockefeller and some others that they did not
live in the reign of Nero.

WAR SCARE REVIVAL.

HE wa. scare died for awhile. but with tie
= revival OF the reports that more large bat
teshps are to be erected lurid stories are finding
their way into print of the awful doings Of Ianan
and the prospects Of America being involved in
war with the little men Of the East are such that
the country must sit idly by and look on. Doubt
less the men who furnish supplies and who look
upon war as a means for financial exploitation
arc anxious for struggle with Japan or with
any other nation, but surely those upon whom the
burden Of such struggles falls do not want war
The fact that Secretary Taft is now in Iapan
and is being handsomely entertained by the
Japanese, who manifest no ill-will toward Amer
ica, is entirely overlooked by the war moneers
And 1t is well to bear in mind that war cannot
benefit people. Like great fire. war is de-
structve Of wealth. and how people can become
wealthy by destroying wealth is a question thar
only the war gabbler can answer according to his
own ludicrous reasoning.

While the Fairbanks cocktail incident has be- y
treated humorousy by many newspapers,
the cocktails proved rather serious for the Vice
President That a man of Fairbanks prominence
as a statesman and a Methodist should be refused
an election to a Methodist general convention be-
cause of the incident, shows the intense hatred
held by the Indiana Methodists towards the mere
use of alcoholic beverages Perhaps they consid-
cred that the Nce-President violated his religious
obligations and they administered punishment
to him swift and sure. 1t was not evidently. A
