HELPING GOOD TIMES.

THE Good Times Association, OF St Louis, is
accomplishing something. 1t was started
bv business men and manufacturers who believed
that the way to bring about good times was to
revive business and quit talking about the de-
preston They considered that the setback was
partly due 10 the imaginngs of the mnd-that 1t
was owing TO artificial causes People were
scared into believing that we were on the eve OF
a great and lasting depression.
Yet there was nothing in natural conditions to
cause a panic. There was no great destruction
of actual wealth. no loss of the productive power
OF the people or Of the productiveness of nature.
Natural conditions were all against depression.
II is now believed, as it was at the time the
depression first started that the setback was Gre
ated by magnates of finance, who wished TO pun
ish President Roosevelt for urging legislation
which they considered detrimental to their inter-
ests.
But when it became evident that the President
would not be injured by these tactics, it also be-
came clear that the creators of the depression had
gone too far-that it had reached beyond their
control
Therefore the only thing to do was to set
about restoring normal conditions, and in this
work the ST. Louis men have entered with
vigor that is bringing results.
AS a result of canvass OF the returns of "re-
employment day in the Missouri metropolis, it
is learned that 1900 names have been added to
the pay-rolls Of that city as consequence of the
movement for better times. Orders for FIVE mil
lions OF goods have been forwarded from St
Louis to other cities.
f. c. Simmons, chairman of the executive
committee of the prosperity association, declared
that his firm hai mailed orders to reach manu-
acturers on June ] for one million dollars worth
OF goods. With the order was inclosed letter
saying that the orders were a contribution to-
wards giving manufacturers basis for the re-
employment OF as many worSmen as possible.
The reports of the St. Louis association say
that there IS a rapid recovery in commercial cir
cles which was deemed impossible in April
The prosperity movement has extended TO
other cities, and It would be well for Wilmington
II 1t should be started here 1t would be particu-
larly appropriate for Wilmington
This year in agricultural Delaware promises
10 be one OF the most prosperous in a decade We
have fine outlook for fruit and other crops. A
ride through New Castle county shows the farms
tc be in particularly promising condition. Hay
and grain and other crops look well. Does not
nature seeem TO be rebuking us for our idleness
in manufacturing?
Why should not a Unemployment day" be in
sugursted in Wilmington Wilmington is the only
part Of the State that is suffering.

LANDS
IN WHEAT FIELD

King Keliy's second balloon ascension at
Pssndywine Springs Park last night, while
not as spectacular as the preceding night
was one Of the most interesting ascensions
that could be imagined. The wind was
scarcely blowing and in consequence The
eteat ball Of canvas rose slowly and ma
jestcally until probably about five hum
cred feet in the air then it struck a good
breeze and swiftly passed over the park
the height rapidly increasing.
Much speculation was INDUCED in by
the spectators as to where the daring
aeronaut would land for the balloon was
fully 1000 feet up when he shot out with
tho parachute. All guesses were wrong
for he landed in a wheat field belonging
to and just beyond the Ferris Reform
School. To-day and Thursday also Satur-
day the ascension will be made ct 3
o'clock in the afternoon.
Col. Mundys Great Trained Animal
Slow was again crowded to the doors
and the spectators never seem to tire at
wondering at the marvellous results OBJ
tanned by the trainers. Col Mundy has
invited the officials in charge Of the var
ious orphan asylums Of the city and the
superintendent OF the Ferris Reform
School to witness the exhibition any after
noon to which these institutions will be
given free admission. On next Saturday
the school children OF the city will be in
vited to visit the show and those pro-
vded with tickets will be admitted free
up to noon.

GOVERNMENT OF WASHINGTON.

He affairs of Washington, d. c., are con-
- Quoted by the members Of Congress- Nat
urally one would expect municipal government
that should be pattern for other municipalities
But the residents of the capital city are dis
pleased with the manner in which Congress con
ducts their affairs.
1t is pointed out that during the heated spell
the congressman, the governors Of the district,
he themselves to cooler places and enjoy life.
But not so with the all-year-round population.
which remains to endure the discomforts of the
capital city for Washington is an unpleasant
place during the warm weather
There are many comforts or even necessities in
these days which the capital folk do not eniov.
'tor example, the 10000 school children of the
capital have no Fairgrounds. While other cities
are progressing towards ample Fairgrounds for
the oeneht OF the young, Washington, through
congressional neglect, is sadly lacking The
10000 poor in the alleys lack breathing space
fresh air and cool air
Evidently the humanitarian spirit that is so
much heard of in other parts of the country. does
not lodge in the heart OF the average congress-
man.
-, The Jail quarters Of the capital are crowded
There are 600 unfortunates in the nrison al
though the accommodations provide for but aao
There IS plenty of ground for municipal improve
ment IN the national capital, but perhaps. the
congressman are too busy looking after the "pork
oarrel and their own districts, and obevine the
commands of their bosses to devote time or AT
tenton to better conditions under which the resi-
dents OF the capital live

WILL MITCHELL ACCEPT

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Organized
labor and the trade unionists of nli-
nois particularly, will play a conspicu-
GUS part in politics during the ap-
preaching campaign, according to a
statement made here by Secretary
Nockels, Of the Chicago Federation of
Labor.
Mr.. Nockels, in addressing the Cen
tral Labor Union, of this city, stated
that at the meeting of the Illinois State
Federation in Springfield. on June IA.
John Mitchell, the retired president Of
the United Mine Workers. would tell
the delegates whether he would be
willing to accept a nomination FOR
governor Of that State. He predicted
that in the event Of Mr.. Mitchelrs ac-
ceptance ne would be elected governor
of Illinois on the labor ticket.

EXPENSE OF LEGISLATURE.

1T is estimated that the extraordinary session
= of the Legislature, which has been called
mainly for the passage of the anti-race-track
gambling bills, will cost New York State about
$4,000. If the session continues longer than next
week the amount will be considerably increased
as it is figured that the cost is $4,000 for each
day the houses are in session.
The expense is caused mostly by the number
of employees required to operate both houses
when they are holding working sessions, their
salaries ranging from So to S3s day.
In addition the mileage of the members will
aggregate $1,000. Members are not paid while in
attendance at extraordinary sessions and at pres
ent it is much better to be an employe than
member of the Legislature
Fighting the race tracks of New York is
therefore, not an easy task.

School Election in Kent.

Milford Chronicle.
Next Saturday the public school dis
tricts of Kent county will hold their
annual elections. and every parents
who sends a child To school should give
the matter their attention. Manv Of
the schools need money spent on the
buildings. so as to make the children
comfortable. and at TIE same time en-
able them to gain an education without
detriment to their moi'Al sensibilities
1t is not fair to send a child into an
old 'barn-like building, with open floors
covered with dirt. and obscene cuttings
and pencil marks as daily views. It
blunts their moral sensibilities. and the
impressions, made in youth will go
through life with your child.
BE fair to the children, and give them
better chances than you had in yom
early days; they are entitled to it be-
cause every condition is better than it
was when you attended the public
schools. Remember. that the State is
paying for the teachers. and that the
school books are free Tor the use Of
your child. and above all, that the small
school tax that you pay now, viii net
pay for the school books required fol-
a large family of children should you
have to buy them.
Select men with fair ideas for your
school commissioners: or, better stin,
put in the best woman in the district,
and see if there will not result cleaner
school rooms. more attractive walls and
better sanitary conditions. Then em-
plov teacher who VIII do more than

cleaner homes and be better citizens.
Yes. we all owe it to the children to
arouse from the sleep Of years as to
the public schools.

The Plain Speaking Taft.

New York Globe.
1t was hardly necessary for Secretary
Taft to give out a statement that he in
tended to make no attack on Gen. Grant
in his Memorial Day address. 1t is only
the malicious or the deliberately sensa-
uonal that can interpret his references to
certain well-known facts Of Gen. Grants
early life as an affront to the memory
OF the great Union captain. Is it 10 the
discredit Of Grant frankly TO recognize
that before he took Vicksburg or hich-
mond he had gained an even greater VIC
sory2 The wholesome minded win condemn
the mawkish sentlmentality that would
have our great men described not as they
were but as they were not.
r'he incident so far as 1t has any value,
is only to be noticed as it throws a side
hight on the character not of Grant but
OF Taft. 1t illustrates again the downright
truth-teling quality that has attracted his
fellow citizens to the big secretary. He is
an apostle of plain and blunt frankness-
as much so in his field as Gen. Grant was
in his field. He does not know how TO
gloss or conceal-he has an inborn detesta-
ton or indirection. On every occasion,
whe ther on the bench. or in the Philip
pines, or Panama, or when speaking to a
seni-socialistic crowd at Cooper Union. or
under the shadow Of Grants monument,
ke sDeaks what is in his mind. He doesn't
know how to shuttle or conceal-does not
have one batch OF opinions for dress
parade and another for private discourse
