e. +. Bushnell who lives seven
mikes southeast of town has proven
that garden truck as we'll as other
farm products can be grown sue
ceesfully in Stanley county. On
IN acre and a half of ground he
raiped over 1900 melons, 50
bushel ofsstomatoes were taken
from three quarters of IN acre
which brought, him from $1.0O to
$2.40 a bushel. From an acre
and . half of potatoes has received
s95. He has yet 2 acres of
cabbage on which he planted over
1900 plants and q half acre of
onions. Mr.. Bushnell has been
a gardner for q number of years
in New York state, where the land
is not quite as plentiful as in
Stanley county. He expects to
90 into the business next year on
a much larger scale and expects
to profit by the experience which
he has had this season. He has
kept an account of the seasons
work and is prepared with figures
to convince the most skeptical that
Stanley county can grow as gooo
garden truck and as much of it as
any place on the map.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.

lie new tariff bill will have a long and rocky
- road to travel before it finally reaches the
statute books.
The original draft will be made by the present
House Committee on WAYS and Means and
enough study and investigation have already
been carried on to get that work under way
The writing of the bill will be in the hands OF
subcommittee consisting of all the Republican
members of the Ways and Means Committee
There will be no call upon the Democratic
members for counsel. and they will be free to
draft tariff bill of their own. They will either
present such a measure. or they will load up with
amendments to be submitted when the bill comes
up in the House for passage The difference be-
tween the bill as passed, and these amendments

The Republican members of the Wavs and
sMcans Committee include such men as Pavne
New Nork; Dalzell, Pennsylvania: Mccall Mas
sachusetts; Hill, Connecticut Iongworth Ohio.
and Crumpacker Indiana
When they have completed their labors. the
bill will have to pass through five more stages be-
fore it becomes law First it will he considered
by the Ways AID Means Committee Of the new
Congress at the special tariff session That COM
mittee will have practically the same membership
the present one. and its action. therefore will
be perfunctory Then the bill will be reported
favorably and passed by the House
1t will next be considered by the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate. When they report it, the
Senate will pass the bill in amended form.
The House will object to the amendments.
and the bill will be referred to a conference COM
mittee, consisting of three senator's and three
representatives Compromises made bv these
committee members to reach an agreement may
involve important changes in tariff rates AS an
example, it can be said that hides, that had for
years been on the free list, were first made duti-
able through the action of conference commit
tee on a tariff bill
To run through all these processes. it is esti-

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

HE keynote of the Presidents message,
- where the Presidents utterances relate to
industrial and economic conditions, is similar to
that which marks his other messages. He re-
allies the social and industrial revolution that
has taken place in recent years. due to modern
methods OF industry and the great accumulation
OF wealth by few individuals Distributve JUS
tioe-the proper distribution OF the rewards OF
toil-the President and other writer's upon such
subjects admit is the foremost topic of considera-
ton to-day. Until this question was agitatcd by
President Roosevelt, il was seldom spoken Of
The custom was to make wealth and permit dis
tributon to take care OF itself That is the doc
trine OF those termed reactionaries As soon as
President Roosevelt began to talk about distribu-
tive justice, the forces of reaction, the forces of
wealth, i-gotten and predatory rose in their
wrath and began their most determined assaults
upon him.
This question: in its various phases embraces
consideration of the courts the relations between
capital and labor the regulating of corporations
and similar matters. In fact these subjects were
paramount during the campaign. But how TO
steer between revolutionary or extreme radical
ism and a stolid and unwsc conservatism is the
problem that has confronted the people The
middle course, the course that considers the
rights of all is that advocated by the President
and approved by the people at the late election.

SALE OF PASSES
Warrants Issued For Arrest
of Persons Who Have
Violated Law

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has taken steps to prosecute all those
who have violated the laws and rceu
lations relative to passes, warrants for
the arrest Of several employees having
been issued during the past two weeks.
Not only will the employees who have
disposed of passes be punished, but
also those who have accepted and used
them.
Two of the persons who will be taken
into custody on the charge of using the
free passes are said to be prOminen,
men in Philadelphia. The arrests. it is
said. will be the first of their kind that
have ever been made. For some tint
the railroads, who have established a
stringent rule regarding the use or
passes. have been endeavoring TO pre-.
vent the disposal Of free passes, ana
several prosecutions have been made
by them in the civil courts, but the
arrests which are contemplated will Do

POSTAL BANKS AND PARCELS.

n MONG the topics considered by the Presi-
dent in his message are the postal savings
bank plan and the parcel post During the cam
throughout the West. there was an nsistent de-
nand for postal savings banks, but reports from
Washington tell of a scheme in the Senate to hold
up action in this matter
Here in Wilmington there is no particular need
Tor postal savings banks. II there were a postal
savings bank here, it would do little business be-
cause our savings banks pay rate of interest
higher than the government would pay and no
one doubts the stability of our banks. But in
some of the rural districts there might be de-
mand Tor postal banks, although there are several
savings banks scattered throughout the State
In many parts OF the country there are few
savings banks with the result that savings are
boarded and capital that might become product

However since the Republican party was practi-
caly pledged to the establishment OF these banks

Criticism Of the navy seems TO be

bureaucrats. Admiral Germinet hav-
ing admitted that the battleships Of
the French navy carried supplies

defective. has been dismissed from his
command and lectured by Premier
Clemenceau, who told him that he
ought to remember that there were
men ON board the batteships as well
as guns.
The reasoning Of the Premier does
not seem to be very Vicar. Clemen-
ceau declared that an officer should
do nothing and say nothing that could
In any way diminish the confidence
of the fighting force. But he made
no mention of any intent'o., to supply
the deficiencies Of which the Admiral
complained. The French Government
seems to think It more important to
keep the real state of affairs con-
cealed than it is to mend them.
This is exactly the spirit in which
the American naval bureaucracy and
its allies, the practical politicians.
have met all criticisms of the Navy
of the United States. Il Is "unpatriot-
ic," 'insubordinate," for an officer to
criticise tho ships or the system of
naval administration. If q member of
Congress ventures to inquire too close
ly into some little matter like tho sub
marino business he is promptly sat
on by his fellows and branded I'm

TUBERCULosIs EXHIBITION.

M ORE than quarter Of a million persons
\ have attended the tuberculosis exhibition
in New York. The exhibit was moved from
Washington to the metropolis some days ago.
Last year similar display was held in this city.
Wherever there is such an exhibition it arouses
widespread interest and a practical educational
force for combating consumption the demon
strations arc unsurpassed.
After all. tuberculosis must be halted by educa-
tiona methods. The subject must be talked of
and considered and displayed And repetition
must follow repetition, Just as the successful
schoomaster keeps continually drilling the same
thing into the minds of his pupils until even the
dullcst grasps what is taught
There is practical method in these exhibitions.
We may make laws and ordinances designed to
prevent the spreading of tuberculosis, but these
must be supplemented by telling the reasons for
them Then the laws and regulations will be
chceriully obcyed. The people should understand
the why's and the wherefores. Unless member
of ones family has fallen a victim TO the severe
disease one IS not apt 20 take a keen interest in
the warfare on tuberculosis. But when the awful
prevalence of consumption is considered when
Vc think Of how many homes are touched by its
dreaded hand We can appreciate that wide
spread interest IN any means 90 thwart the dis
case will eventually be aroused
Not so many years ago It was generally accept
cd that tuberculosis was incurable--that no hope
could be held ont to one in its grip But that view
has changed a rational mode of hygiene and life
has proved that even the disease is not curabe,
in most cases life can be prolonged and made
easier for the sufferers
The facilities for treating tuberculosis are ex-
tending, and as the doctrine of better homes and
better sanitary conditions together with proper
food is preached there will be decline in fatality
OF the disease Just as there is decline in typhoid
fever under proper regulations
The international movement TO combat tuber-
culosis IS one OF the most humane steps ever
taken, and it is movement in which everyone
can assist by givnAa contribution. even a small
contribution. The light against tuberculosis is
particularly interesting TO Delaware from the fact
that in this State originated the Red Cross stamp,
which has proved to be a simple method of swell
ing the fund necessary for carrying on the work
of the ant-tuberculoss Societies
