DEBs AND THE STUDENTS.

Fl OW times have changed politically. In
Il 1890, when Bryan spoke in New Haven,
Conn, there was a demonstration OF the \ ale
students against him. The other day when Debs,
the candidate of the Socialist party, was in the
college city, not only was there no hostile demon
stration, but a small number Of Yale students
were in the Socialist parade This shows the
headway that the Socialist propaganda is making.
Bryan, in 1890, wanted TO deprccate the value
of the dollar by means of the proposed free COIN
age of silver. Debs wants to overthrow the en-
tire capitalist or profit system of production, and
he is finding supporters even among the college
students~the men, many Of whom will become
in the not distant future the leaders Of thought in
this country.
The growth OF Socialism is among people other
than the working classes themselves.
We fancy that the Debs vote this year will be
surprisingly large, and it will draw its recruits
chiefly from the r4tks of Mr.. Bryan. In this con-
necton Debs himself assumes position different
from that of the other candidates He frankly
declares that he is untitled to be president by
temperament, and because of lack OF qualihca-
ton, but that he is engaged in educational work.
Socialism as a political doctrine is one Of the
coming questions in this country, as those who
keep in advance of the current thought have long
since believed.

There are blathershte politicians cir

political committee--is identified with a
corporation i'm tone such as would be
justified only were interest in corpora
ton a crime Selfish interests IN politics
are Of course to be guarded against, but
there is nothing in the constitution Of
any state or Of the United states which
denies the rights Of citizenship 70 mem
bers Of corporations Let talk regarding
corporations and politics be freed from

The number Of persons in. the United
states who own shares in going cor

to these the number who own bonds Of
such corporations, or whose trustees own
such bonds gives a total of 2ooo0,eo0 peo-
pie who are concerned in corporations, TO
say nothing Of their employees. The whole
number Of votes cast at the last presi-
Dental election was 100000. or 50 per

Greed and dishonesty must be watched

GIFT FOR THE DELAWARE.

TT rs stated that the batteshp Delaware which
L will be the pride Of the American navy will
be launched in January, and therefore 1t IS not TOO
early for the Board of Trade and other civic
bodies to begin to arouse interest in the matter
and see that the State is httngly represented at
the ceremony.
Delaware should have delegation OF rePresen-
tative citizens at the launching, and Delaware
part in the affair should be credit to the State
for the new battleship will be the most important
sea fighter in our navy.
The plan to have the coming session of the
Legislature make an appropriation for presenting
a suitable silver service to the ship is admirable
This we think, is far better than TO attempt to
raise the money by private subscription Those
who have undertaken to secure money Tor diter-
ent purposes by subscription in the State we be-
Heve do not wish to undertake another task OF
that kind at this time.
The people OF the State must make gilt that
will be suitable for so magnificent ship as the
Delaware will be- and therefore it will be highly
proper for the Legislature to make an appropra-
ton for the purpose.

County Roads and Prosperity.

other farm products at the railway sta
tion, and the producer gets the value, or
market price, Of me shipment II the
farmers Of the nation are paying a,OOO000

OF carrying their products to the shipping
point. it requires no expert to show that
If they had good roads they would be re-
coiving si.0O00OO day more for their
products than they are now receiving, or
about 50 a year for every man, woman
and child in the nation. Every cent saved
IN the cost of TRANSFORMATION is a cent
added to the price the farmer receives for
lis products. The addition Of S25O,OO00O0 a
year to the income OF the American farm
ers would mean a great strengthening Of
the purchasing power Of tho agricultural
class and a marked increase Of agricul.
tural assets. In addition to this direct
gain, a growth in value that would much
more than cover the cost Of establishing
and maintaining good roads. No farmer
can lose on any investment he may make

THE cow QUESTION

n oW this question Of "wet" and dry" is
penetrating everything Are the gentle
"Bossies' OF Brandywine hundred being drawn
into the army Of General Boozel Is the Brandy
wine hundred milk to be tit in the future only for
milk punches and the like? The question prom
ises to become grave one and perhaps the State
Board of Agriculture Roosevclts commission
for the uplift of the farmers may be called upon
to decide it. As we understand it, the contention
OF the Anti-Lioense Federationists is not that
person drinking Brandywine hundred milk is IL
able to cultivate taste for alcoholic beverages
or that the average Brandywine hundred cow has
been turned into living brewery The women
wanted a reprisal on the brewers because of an
alleged intention the part of the latter to stop
the sale of the mash TO the dry farmers
Some, however, seem to think by eating the
"mash" the COWS become walking milk punches.
If their milk resembled a punch, or any other
sort OF intoXicants, we have no doubt that the
cows would become more valuable, notvith-
standing the "dry" protests. We cannot see, how
ever why the brewers should not sell their
"mash" to any man who has the money to pay
for it.
However if the contention should continue,
the best thing to do would be to take legal action
Summon the cows into court and let them give
testimony. If the cows started to talk, their
opinions would be as good as many Of the opn-
ions OF the rest of us.

MR.. FAIRBANKS'S ADDRESS

N HIS political addresses, Nice-President
= Charles wv. Fairbanks never desccnds to per-
sonaties or abuse or rises TO fahcifu flights, but
he is a convincing and logical orator He is a
master of any subject upon which he talks. lie
musters fact after fact and drives home one con-
clusion after another with telling force His ap-
peals for support arc usually directed 10 the op-
position for the purpose of winning votes Fair
banks makes men think That is his power on
the stump. That is why he has reached the ex-
alted position that he holds in the councils and
work OF the Republican party.
In the present campaign the bedrock has been
too much hidden from sight Fairbanks talks
right from the bedrock He brings up things that
are overlooked too often.
In his speech on Saturday night at a meeting
that was enthusiastic, and which showed that
General Apathy has not encamped Delaware
Mr.. Fairbanks recited with strong comment and
with telling force the record Of things done by
the Republicans, showing that it is not the party
of criticism or negation, but the party of action
There is talk of discomfort among the so-called
laborng vote, but as MIR. Fairbanks points out,
the Republicans in Congress give the Employers
Liability law, the eight-hour law for the District
of Columbia and other measures, all in the inter
est of the working masses. The party has al
ways been the friend of the laboring masses. All
the other important legislation accomplished by
the party was recalled by the speaker.
Those who did not attend the meeting should
read the address of the Vcc-President and then
consider if the chances for good and effective
government at Washington arc not better con-
served by the Republicans than they would be
with the Democrats in power.
Among the many good things said by Mr.
Fairbanks was the following: 1T is a happy cir
substance that Republican success never has
filed the people with apprehension" Is not this
a striking point? Would not apprehension, fear
OF what might happen, fill the minds of the busi-
ness men and leaders of industry should Mr.
Bryan be elected president7 Would not there be
with the election of MIR. Taft speedy restoration
OF confidence, Frightening. belief that every
line Of business would be quckened. more men
set TO work and the last veshgc of depressed
times disappear And after ALL is that not the
keynote of the present campaign?
