SUSSEX CAMP MEETING.

JUDGING by the number of mosquitoes that
have been holding conventions on various
front porches in Wilmington of late we think
that something has happened to the Sussex
county camp meetings. Usually, during camp
meeting season in Sussex, few mosquitoes are
seen in Wilmington. The Jersey contingent is
not very large, and mosquitoes are fond of at
tending the Sussex camp meeting. We hear that
at the various camp meetings in Sussex there are
present religious folks, sinners, politicians. and
mosquitoes. There seems TO have been an over
flow of the latter, and they have sung and bi.
their way up to Wilmington
The Sussex camp meeting-what a great ~
stitution it is. We believe Sussex holds the
camp meeting record Of the United States In no
part Of the country are there so many camp meet
ings. All Of Sussex county gets out of doors and
the ancient religion is preached with the old-tme
vigor in the tented groves.
One day we asked Colonel Houston to enumer-
ate the number of camp meetings black and
white, in Sussex, and he called off list so long.
over twenty, II we remember correctly, that we
thought it would be as long as the editorial OF
our neighbor down the street on the eubernator-
ial question Some Sussex folks seem to journey
from one camp to another 1t is the best kind of
vacation for them.
OF course the politicians and statesmen are
about There is no place to meet ike the camp
meeting. The farmers, too can forget taei,,
troubles at the camp. They can take their minds
of the vexations OF DELAYED trains CARVING their
fruit to market too late for a good price and be
happy in the ecstacy of the camp meeting Nav
the shadow Of the Sussex camp meetings never
grow less than the size Of Captain "IimD Row

TRYING no SPIKE MR. cANNoN.

1T SEEMS that war is to be made against
4 Speaker "Uncle Joe" Cannon, who is COM
bination of craftsmanship, whiskers, oaths and
bad cigars. About the only thing in which the
speaker is up-to-date is the fact that he was
known to ride in an automobile after Congress
adjourned and came near being arrested in Pitts
burg for exceeding the speed limits.
They are after Uncle Joes scalp out West, and
if they have the same success that they have had
in chopping off the heads of reactionary senators,
Cannon will be spiked. We doubt, however, the
success of the effort. Cannon is hard fighter,
and has been many years in the game
But the wind is blowing against Cannon The
word from Kansas tells him that Senator Long,
the reactionary, has been condemned by a vote of
his Republican constituents Several other SEN
ators have met a similar fate and the movement
is just beginning.
1t is now said that candidates for Congress are
being pledged not to 60 to support Mr.. Cannon
for reelection as speaker of the House He will
have to depend upon the reactionary East, if he
is to hold his high position.
Some day it may happen that even the East
will not be so reactionary.

MIR. CoNRAD's HISTORY.

TN HIS publication of three massive hand
n sonely bound volumes of the history OF
Delaware, Mr.. Henry c. Conrad has performed
what necessarily must be chiefly labor OF love.
The work that has just been issued is the result
of many hours of labor, which often must have
been irlesome and at other times pleasure.
Gathering material for such work and present.
ing il in proper form, with due care to accuracy,
is a labor that only those engaged in preparing
COPY for the printer can appreciate The state
is under a debt Of obligation to Mr.. Conrad. Now
and then the critic, looking for points Tor inn
provement, might be able to find them, but they
are few and far between. As whole the book
Will rank as a history of the State about as good
as any man could make
The books are we'll put together, the type is
excellent, and the facts are presented m read
able form Indeed the literary style OF the au-
thor Is one of the attractive features OF his his
tory. In the volumes are things about Delaware
that few of us know Of and to have them between
covers is something desirable for the library OF
every Delawarean.
The book Is replete with handsome illustra-
aions of notable men and noteworthy scenes IN
the State. These illustrations alone are treas
uFe that should be preserved
The volume gives an exhaustive history OF the
State with a wealth of detail that is amazing
Il tells Of Delaware from the time of its set
element down to the present day and OF the con-
spicuous part that Delaware has playrd IN the
history of the nation. The history related is
a record of which no son or daughter OF the Stats.
should be ashamed.
The military, naval and political history Of the
State are told with fidelity showing that in all de-
partments of the narians life Delaware has ever
been at the front The history of this city, of its
business houses and life of all kinds, is set forth
interestingly. The various professions and busi-
nesses are described in many instances with mi-
nuteness. There is a complete history of the
counties, the hundreds and the towns. The bio
graphical sketches are probably more numerous
than one would expect to find in a work of this
sort Altogether the work is highly creditable,
and it should have large sale in order to recom-
pcnse In some slight measure the author for his
laborious and painstaIcing toll.

Editorial Opinion
Personal Service.

New Orleans Picayune.
Few persons realize that we are
coming to a time when there will be
no personal service. The general diff
fusion of the American idea Of equal
ity, that every person is socially as
well as politically, as good as every
other person will finally create such
opposition TO all personal service that
IL will come to an end Nobody wants
to have menial tasks performed for
them by their social equals. The idea
Of giving orders to your equals in Soc
ial rank is certainly most displeasing
to those to whom the commands are
given. Therefore, with the universal
dissemination Of book learning" and
Of the idea OF equality, there will be no
body left to perform mental services,
so that wen have no cooks house,
maids and others who do personal ser
vice.
OF course, there will still be work.
ers. but they win all be members of
labor organizations, or everything will
be done on a socialistic basis. There
fore our houses will have to be con-
structed 70 meet the demands and sci
ence will furnish the service. BY touch
ing a button, or turning a faucet, we
will have light. heat or fans and iced
beverages, while such food as we may
require will arrive by a dumb waiter"
and we will set it on the table for our
selves. There will be no ashes to be
removed and no garbage and slops. The
dust viii be blown out of our houses
by compressed air, and all will be done
by contract. of course il will be a
duh sort Of life on those terms because
everything will be done by machinery,
and we win all be parts Of the system
regulated by machine methods. There
will be no wealthy people, and prob
ably no private property, the entire
industrial. political. social, CONNER
cial and financial business being oper-
ated for the benefit Of the entire popu-
lation. Every house will be precisely
like every other house, so as to con-
form to the system and TO prevent
envy and jealousy because one has
something which another has not.

Although there is no epidemic of typhoid fever
and not likely to be- there has been an increase in
the number of persons in Baltimore who have
been afflicted with the disease. The health Off
GERS OF the Maryland metropolis are warning the
citizens Of the different sources of the disease
The disease according to DR.. Bosley, of the Bal
tmore Health Department. comes from eating
impure food and drinking impure water. Pure
water, he adds, is a preventive of typhoid. He
thinks that all drinking water should be boiled
The doctor issues a warning against drinking
water in the out-of-the-way places in woods, as
he adds that while such water may be clear, its
clearness does not guarantee that it is free from
the disease producing germs.

There seems to be comfy between the po-
litical parties which must make the od-timers sit
up and look At the exercises in Cincinnati
when Taft was notified, a Democrat was grand
marshal of the parade and the Republican COVER
nor of Nebraska sat upon the platform at Lincoln
during the Bryan notification exercises. Partisan
feeling for outward effect at least is relaxing but
the votes will be cast differently, when the time
comes.
Evening journal., 1908-08-14

Some Of our political leaders think that it
would be wise II the primary elections of each
persons of the opposition party from voting at
the primaries. It is unfair for Democrat, for
instance, to vote at a Republican primary in
order to help out Republican friend, and it is
likewise unfair for a Democrat to vote for a
friend a. a Republican primary. 1t would be well
to consider method by which the practice, which
seems to becoming more prevalent could be
stopped.

SUICIDE FORTUNE
GOES TO YOUNG WIFE
Mrs. Veit, Former Actress,
Gets Half a Million
Estate.

NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-The estate of
J. Nelson Welt. the broker who killed
his mother at the Ansonia Hotel Tues
day night and then committed suicide,
will revert to his young widow, for
merly Clara Jane Munroe, an actress,
as will the estate of the late Mrs.
NeiT, senior. The two estates com
bined are valued at $500 000
Mrs Veit becomes the mistress OF
this fortune through the fact that
neither the broker nor his mother IS
known to have made a will. In that
case, If il be proved that the mother
died first. the estate Of both incOn-
testably TeVerts TO the young widow
That Mrs. Veit died before her son
is borne out by the Investigations Of
the coroner and police.
The double tragedy is now believed
to have been the result of Mrs. Vets
objections TO her sons marriage and
refusal 10 meet his wife, which Is said
10 have driven the young man insane
His mothers objections are alleged 10
have been based upon the former
stage career Of his wife. The Velts
were married In September 1907. at
the Little Church Around the Corner.

GERMAN WAR SCARE

Wanted KaiserS Famous In
terview Forgotten, Is
English View.

LONDON. Nov. 5-From reliable
sources it Is reported today that France
has made tentative Inquiries Of the Eng
fish foreign Office as TO the aid France
might expect OF England In the event
OF a clash between France and Germany
upon the Casablanca affair.
England is not hurrying a reply. The
foreign office believes Chancellor Won
BuelOw raised this issue merely TO dis
tract Germanys attention from the
kaisers famous interview, in which he
took credit for aiding England to whip
the Beers. It is believed that after Won
Buelow has kept the discussion active
Tor a few days Germany and France
will come TO an agreement to arbitratC.
The Casablanca dispute was aroused
by the arrest by General D'Amade.
French commander in Morocco, on Sep
TENDER %, OF six deserteTs from the
French foreign legion at Casablanca.
TWO were German subjects. An agent
OF the German consul, at Tangier, was
taking the deserters to German YES
sci. when the party was seized.
Germany proposed that the matter be
arbitrated by The Hague Tribunal, 10
which France agreed. a difference
Since the Kaiser interview, Germany is
insisting that only the question OF
France right to arrest deserters De
left to the tribunal. France insists that
both the question Of her right TO ar
rest and also the determination of the
causes that led up TO the desertlon, De
arhitreted- France accuses the German
consul of inspiring the assertions,
II Germany and France should clash
England would unQuestiOnably lend
naval support TO France, but would not
aid her with her military forces,
France and Germany Will eventually
engage in Titanic struggle is the general
opinion throughout England In both OF
hciaI and commercial circles. but the
time Is not yet ripe for such a struggle.
