GERMANY AND THE KAISER.

NE OF the immediate results of the supposed
bowing OF the Emperor OF Germany to the
wishes OF his subjects is the announcement of
Chancellor Won Buelow that Germany is "unpop-
uar among the nations Of the world. And to
guard against this unpopularty taking a form
that might become menacing to Germany as a
nation, the Chancellor proposes heavy increase
IN taxation, the revenue derived therefrom to be
devoted to Strengthening the army and navy of
ihe fatherland. More taxes seems to be the spe-
cilc answer OF the Kaiser the discomfort Of his
people Load them with taxes upon a plea that
Germany is unpopular. strengthen the military
and the navy and thereby add glory to the mill
tarism OF the Emperor. The Chancellor may be
correct IN his statement that as nation Germany
is unpopular, but if SO who has made the ma
tion unpopular save the German government and
the Kaiser. Surely the German people are not un-
popular with other peoples Why should they be?
Does the long array OF American students and
students OF other countries who swarm to the
German universities for their higher education
show that the German people arc unpopuiar1 The
German people could not be unpopular in the
larger sense except because OF jealousy. The Ger
mans rank in learning, in intelligence, in the arts
and sciences at the very top Of the list The med
cal profession is ablazc with the name of Ger
man authorities; the study of the humane econ
omics shines with the abors Of German students,
profound thinkers that they arc In every thing
that pertains TO the higher educational life the
German people foremost
The opinion, however. does prevail that the
German government with it's imperialism and abb
solutism, does not represent the enlightened Ger
man people and we fancy that this new effort Of
the Kaiser TO extort huge of money from his
people by new forms OF taxation will widen the
breach between the populace and the govern

SHOWER OF WEALTH UPON us.

TT IS said that the forthcoming report OF Secre-
Il tary Wilson OF the Department OF Agriculture
will show that the farm products for the past year
aggregate $4,000, 600, ,ooo-a vast and almost in
conceivable sum. All previous records will be
broken, the aggregate value Of the crops being
even larger than they were during 1907. These
facts of agricultural wealth arc without paral-
lei. The crop alone will exceed by oo,ooo,ooo
bushels the crop of 1907.
And yet in the face of this vast production Of
actual wealth, in the face OF this bountful shower
of Nature upon us, the last year has witnessed the
closing of factories with hundreds OF men out of
work, unable to earn by their daily toll for lack
OF opportunity share of this life giving wealth

Cure For the Tobacco Habit.

how he won the eliminating event Of the

He trained for the event for two years
and persisted in his efforts I'm spite OF the
opinion OF experts that his legs were not
long enough and he was too slight man
to make a successful long-d.stance rum
ner Mr.. Hayes had made up his mind
however. that he would stick to IL and he
put himself through course Of training,

country until he reached a maximum Of
twenty-five miles He ran in seven races
over this distance, but never covered
twenty-six and a half miles, the Mara
thon distance, until he started in the race

An incidental by-product Of Mr.. Hayes
experience was the conviction that long
distance running is a sure cure for the
tobacco habit. He said he found he had
no desire TO smoke during the two years
he was in constant training. In view OF
this fact it seems that it would be the
part Of wisdom for high schools and pre-
paratory academies to foster the sport Of
cross-country races. II tho youths of the
country can be cured OF the craving for

islature get down to business soon after it meets
instead of wasting time and money, as is usually
done, by trihing during the opening days? The

bodies of the city has decided to continue the hui

campaign of education is to be pushed and efforts
will be made by the sale of Christmas stamps and
other means to secure funds with which to carry
on this commendable work.
Delaware has made considerable progress in
the campaign against the spread of the dreaded
disease and for the relief OF the afflicted. Those
who are unselhshly devoting their time to these
labors are deserving of the highest praise. They
should be encouraged and supported, pecuniarily
and otherwise, by the public.
In all parts of the country interest in the anti
tuberculosis fight is increasing and Delaware
should not be permitted to lag.
