entire bond issue and acquiring the capt.
tai stock Of the through State line to be
known as THE Diamond State Rapid
Transit Company" Financial arrange
ments are about completed, few minor
legal details only remain to be settled up
when all the stock will be acquired by
purchase and possession taken by the
syndicate, who will elect a resident di-
rector to look after their interests regard
ing the construction OF the line. The engi
neers made thorough inspection Of the
proposed route last week, and made a
very favorable report on the earning pros
poets, and cost Of construction, and are
now completing details for northern
terminal of the line. Arrangements are
also being made with the Hurley Track
Lay ing Machine Co., Of Chicago, for the
lay ing of the lines which they will con-

THE PRIMARIES

To day the Republicans of this
county are to hold their nOmina.
ton election for the purpose
of naming candidates for the
General Assembly and for county
Offices. The list as made up
shows that in some instances
there is no competition, and thus
such candidates are assured of
being selected.
In regard to other Offices there
are two or more aspirants, and
the interest in such contests is
to bring out full vote. Where
ever there is a contest the voters
in such districts should register
their preference just as they do
at the general election. Majority
and plurality rule prevail and
those who are nominated are to
be considered as the choice of
the entire party. 1t is just as
much a duty to take part in
primary elections as it is to vote
at general elections, and the man
who does not have enough in
terest in public affairs and in his
party to take part in the primary
elections has no right to complain
after the nominations have been
made.

CLEVELAND ON TAFT

Grover Cleveland's paper,
printed in the New York Times
has made a decided impression
upon the intelligent voters of the
country. 1t came as has been
said score of times already, ''as
voice from the grave. ~
Thus far the only answer that
the newspaper supporters of
Bryan have been able to make is
that the printing of the article
was unfair to Mr.. Cleveland and
that the use made of his writing
is in the nature of taking advanL.
age of a dead mau-that he
might have changed his views as
the campaign went on, had he
lived. But every body who knew
Grover Cleveland realizes that
he was a man of positive cOnvic
tlons and that he was not in The
habit of changing his views over
night. What the only man who
has been elected as President by
the Democrats since 1850 wrote
is to be taken as his sincere and
positive convictions. The most
pertinent portions Of this re-
markable article is the applause
given to William Howard Taft.
In a paragraph, after mentioning
several of the important matters
to be considered by the next
President, Mr.. Cleveland wrote:
"These questions are fruitful
of trouble and perturbation, and
the primary requisite OF the man
or men who must deal with them
is an abundant knowledge of the
people of the outlying domain.
That Mr.. Taft is possessed Of
this knowledge as is no other
man in the country is hardly TO
be denied; granted that he has
had extraordinary opportunities,
he has shown himself able to i'm
prove these opportunities in a
manner which is not extrava-
CANT to say will be his broadest
claim so far to enduring fame
when the acute visual distortion
of the present and opportune
shall have given place to the in
exorable perspective OF history
in which the relative values Of
public deeds to public duties are
completely clarified and an
nounced to posterity The misery
and misfortune which an ignor-
ant or obstinate administrator,
no matter how high the ethical
standard of his motives, could
entail upon our wards of the
Pacific and Caribbean are ap-
palling to contemplate; were his
administration to be at fault in
any other particular, in these
things Mr.. Taft's record shows
him to be entirely dependable"

LETTER TO DIR. J. A. JOHNSON
Middletown, Del.

Dear Sir: This happened seven years
ago. A man, having three little poultry
houses, bought one gallon OF each of two
paints to paint them; paid SLIGO for one
and $l.75 for the other, Is cents differ
ence.
The $l.60 gallon painted one house,
the 81 70 gallon painted the other two
houses. The cost of the paint was: first
house $l.60; second house SHE; third
house S72c
But painting goes with paint, and it
costs as much to paint one paint an
another, about $3. 50 gallon.
The painting of one of those houses
with 81 60 paint cost the same as that of
the other two with 81 IS paint; $3.50.
Difference ST.. rs house same way as the
IS cents.
Four years ago, he painted that first
little house again, same paint-he wanted
to know what the cost of keeping house
well painted really is. The other two
houses didn't need painting.
Last year he painted all three little
houses, same paints as at first: and reck.
oncd his cost to date Of beginning the
jrb.
The first little house had cost $50
twice, or 5000, and was ready to paint
again; the second two houses had cost
$500, aud were ready to paint again.
That is: saving 10 cents gallon made
one house cost twice as much AZ the other
two houses, besides the fuss OF an ex-
ira paint job in three years
The $l.75 paint MAS Devoe.
This tale is made-up of thousand ex-
periencss. Devue is always the paint
that takes less gallons, costs less money.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES TO-DAY
The VariOus Candidates Have Been Active
and Large Vote Will be POIled

The Republican primary election. fixed
for to-day, Saturday. promises to be the
most spirited primary held in this county
for years. Candidates for the various
offices have been unusually active the
past week in their canvas for voters and
from present indications the activity will
show itself in a large vote. The registra.
tion is larger than ever, thereby giving
the candidates wider field Of voters to
draw from. That the vote will show a
greatly increased Repn Alican registration
over previous years, and a preponder-
ance'of total voters over the Democratic
party, is already claimed by Republican
leaders.
OF the large field of candidates entered
for to-day's contest, only two are with.
ont opposition. they are Harry A.
Brown and Herbert L. Rice. Mr.. Brown
aspires to the Office Of clerk nf the peace
and Mr.. Rice to the Office Of pr"thonotary.
Mr.. Brown at present is member Of the
Levy Court. Mr.. Rice is a practicing
lawyer.
Perhaps the hardest fight is being made
for the office of county treasurer, at pres.
ent creditably filled by Robert N. Burns.
Two candidates, James Logne, member
of the Levy Court, and Henry Clayton
White, business man, oppose Mr. Burns
Each of the candidates has an unusually
large circle of acqnaintances, and it would
not be surprising if the contest of to-day
brings out the largest vote ever cast for a
candidate for the office.
The contest for the office Of sheriff ill.,
wolves two candidates, Charles Ii. Lip
pincott and Joseph E. Martin. Each
candidate was defeated in the primaries
two Years ago by Henry g. Stafford, the
present sheriff, and the friends of each
candidate are again claiming this years
nomination. 1t is conceded that tlIe pres
ent contest is the easiest one that has
been waged for many years, recent pri-
narirs having brought as many as four
candidates for the place.

population instead of taxing up
his life work at home. This is 10
be deplored as it not only robs
the rural district of their energy
and intelligence, but also roos
them of golden opportunities a.
home, which in the glamour OF
the exceptional success in the
city are overlooked. Never be-
fore have those living on the
farm been as prosperous as they
are to-day, and never before has
competition been as keen In the
city. The average young man
who leaves home full OF amoltion
little realizes the many pr1Va-
tions, hardships and temptations
he must endure aud prove him
self superior to, before he can
hope to attain even a small
| measure of success. There it IS
that the hard times really pinch,
and 10 day there is many a man
foot-sore and weary, with a
family dependant upon him al
home, tramping the streets look
ing for work only to be met with
curt refusal from those he
approaches.
Statistics 60 to show that men
in the business world, that is
among those who are in business
for themselves, there are ninety
failures in every one hundred
| ventures, or in other words that
| nintey business men out'of every
one hundred fail at some stage
of their career. AS compared
with these figures the failures
on the farm are few and far
between, and the farmer has
much the best of it from this
standpoint. Therefore with the
same amount of education and
acumen which is essential to
success in other walks of life
applied to the vocation of farming
the dangers of failure are nothing
as compared with those in the
business world and the chances
for ultimate material advance
ment are much greater.
