School Money Less This Year.

An increase in the number of public
school teachers employed throughout
the State, because Of the compulsory
education laws first year in Delaware,
has slightly reduced the States pay
ment TO local boards Of education and
school directors from the State school
fund. The dividend paid out this year
is 1912 per teacher. This is a slight de-
crease over that paid out for last year,
although the aggregate amount is in
creased. The maximum amount Of
public money which could be set apart
for school expenses this year under the
various statutes, by the State treasurer
was $l6S, 1888 20. OF the four constitu-
tional Districts Of the State Sussex
got the largest amount, $54 ,609.S4
Kent got SS9, 975 "a; New Castle got
$50, 63S y, and the city Of Wilmington

of birds and rabbits is going on at lively
rate and the farmer on whose land game
was plentiful finds it difficult at times to
secure enough for his own use.
The advantage is all in favor of the
outside gunners, and the necessity for
some new game law looking to the pro-
lection of the residents of the State is to
bring about action in the General As

Assembly in Kent and Sussex counties
have it within their power to protect
themselves against outsiders and to do
away with the discrimination that favors
Others at their expense. There are, it is
true, some genuine amateur gunners, but
the wholesale method of shooting birds
and rabbits, to be carried away, results in
destroying the sport for those who do not
make business of it.-Morning News.

Delaware Game Laws.

There is something radically wrong
with the game laws of this State. They
are wrong because they discriminate
against the owners of land and in favor
of outside gunners. Residents of other
States are permitted to shoot birds and
rabbits on the payment of a license and
are then allowed the privilege of taking
their birds and rabbits with them. They
are not permitted to ship game, however,
and neither are the residents of the State.
This provision is hard and fast and it
operates against the owners of land
themselves. Even if they wish to ship
game Of their own killing as a gift to a
friend outside of the State it is not per-
mitted. Further, the claim is made that
the outside gunners are in the habit of
employing local professional game hunt.
ers and what these men kill are taken out
of the State, presumably for personal use;
but the wholesale destruction of birds
and rabbits makes il profitable for tie
outsiders, in spite of their license fee, to
take away with them game that can be
sold at profit when they reach home.
In spite of the posting" of farms, pro-
hbiting gunners from shooting game, the
is made that the outside hunters
and their local allies are so insistent that
it is almost impossible to prevent trespass-
ing. Even the man who shoots game on
his own land is not permitted to sen
it away to the extent of making gifts.
Many farmers in Kent and Sussex find

hunting and netting are employed. Al

Relative to Diseased Catlle.

The following warning has been issued
by the State Board OF Agriculture, as 4
means of enforcing the proclamation o.
Governor Lea, relative to keeping dis
eased cattle out of the State
In pursuance of the proclamation oil
Governor Preston Lea, a quarantine is
hereby established of all highways, roads,
byWays, paths, or other avenues leading
from the State of Pennsylvania into the
State of Delaware, and all persons are
forbidden to drive or otherwise move any
hay, straw or other forage, hides or other
material that may contain the infection
of the hoof and mouth disease, from the
State of Pennsylvania into the State of
Delaware"
Wesley Webb the secretary of the Board
of Agriculture, and James T. Shalcross,
one of the members, stated that the Gov
ernor's proclamation and the boards
orders will be rigidly enforced. The
State policemen appointed to patrol the
boundary line between Pennsylvania and
Delaware we're provided with horses, and
they will cover their beats mounted.
They were also provided white silk bad

the government will also assign an officer
to assist in the work here, as the Depart
ment of Agriculture, at Washington, has
expressed its intention of cooperating
with Delaware in the step it has taken, |
which, so far, has resulted in keeping the |

found during the fight against the disease.
He is in charge of the State police and
will direct them in their work
The entire matter has been turned over
by Governor Lea to the board of Agricul-
ture, and all of the business will be trans
acted from Mr.. Webb's office in the
Hotel Wilmington.

addition to this the board has arranged

form all of the farmers having business
in Wilmington in regard to the matter. 7

Bonds For Public Officers.


The newly-elected State and county
officers, soon to assume their new duties,
have now to take into consideration the
matter OF securing the bonds required by
law. The custom has always been-with
a few exceptions-to secure the services
Of friends when it came to giving bonds.
In recent years this system has proven
very costly for a number Of generous and
kindly disposed citizens.
We believe that every man who is called
upon to offer security for the faithful
performance of public duties would feel
more independent were he to depend up
on bonds issued by companies in business
for that purpose. OF course there is one
thing in the way of doing that-the ex-
pense incident 20 bonding through COM
pany. Yet it ought to be provided by the
General Assembly that bonds demanded
from public officers should be provided
by the public. 1t would be a good in
vestment and the men in office wOnld
not be subjected to the annoyance of call
ing upon their friends to furnish the nee
essary security. The bonding of public
officers should be part of the public ex-
pense. Much pecuniary loss could have
peen prevented in the past for individ-
uals had derelict public servants been
bonded by companies engaged in that
business.
Voluntary offers of security by friends.
however, are not Objectionable, although
the other method is better. There are a

A Progressive Evangelist.

There we have it. Mr.. Bryan Is an
evangelist. He goes up and down the
country preaching what he believes. It
so happens that his preaching is politi-
cal rather than evangelical, but it is
religion with Mr.. Bryan all the same.
He believes fervently what he preach
es. He may be mistaken today on one
point of doctrine and may believe and
preach otherwise tomorrow, but what
ever he does believe or believes that
he believes he breaches with fervor
and spirit. You might call him a pro-
gressive evangelist. When the higher
criticism smites one Of his doctrines
he gets hold Of another. That means
progress. Religion and politics have
progressed through the ages by the
shifting to smithereens of dogmas that
have outllved their usefulness. The
citadel Of modern science is built upon
junk heap Of defunct theories. The
junk Is useful for a foundation for
climbing purposes.
But we must not assume that Dir.
Bryan Is q turncoat. In the main he
sticks to his original tenets with the
tenactty of a leech. He might have
been elected president in 1900 but for
his refusal to run on the Kansas City
platform unless 1t contained reitera-
ton of the Chicago currency plank.
The party was determined to have him
for its candidate. so a reiteration was
made, together with an attempt to
hide Its light under the bushel Of i'm
perialism as the paramount issue. Mr..
Bryan, Of course, does not advocate
now the free silver doctrine. The high
er criticism of Alaskan. Australian,
African and Nevadan gold develop
ments has relegated that dogma TO the
dark domains of desuetude where II
is altogether innocuous. Never again
Will its ghost arise
But there were other planks In the

COMPARED with Henry Clay.

Mr., Bryan has been likened to Henry
Clay, the great commoner" Of a hun
dred years ago and Of sixty years ago.
The comparison holds together only in
spots. Clay in his time was the mouth
piece Of the majority, the common peo-
pie, and there the comparison holds.
Clay was a perpetual candidate" for
the presidency and never landed. Ger
tain organs Of the opposition have con-
ferred that title upon Mr.. Bryan, who
as vet has failed to land. Clay was de-
feated three times for the presidency.
Bryan has been defeated twice, and he
wants to try it again.
But Henry Clay spent nearly all his
manhood life In public office of high
station He went from the Kentucky
state legislature to the United States
senate before he was old enough under
the constitution to take his seat He
went from the senate to the house Of
representatives and Immediately was
elected speaker. He resigned the speak
ership to go to Client and help nego-

MEXICAN history presents nc
"a parallel to the career Of Will
IN liam Jennings Bryan. The
same may be said as to his
personality. Both in career and char
acter he is unique.
Holding no Office, never having held
any Office save that Of representative
in congress for two terms in his early
manhood, Mr.. Bryan for twelve years
has dominated one Of the two great po-
litical parties Of the nation. This po-
| litical organization is Of hundred
years standing, the party Of Thomas
Jefferson, Of Andrew Jackson, of Gro
| YER Cleveland.
When first nominated for the presi-
dency in 1896 Mr.. Bryan had been a
private citizen for two years. He has
been a private citizen ever since. Yet
in personal popularity, in his political
hold on the party, he still Is the focal
and foremost figure in the national De-
mocracy. This is individually true de-
spite the frantic efforts Of considera-
BILE section of Democratic adherents to
belittle his leadership. Facts are facts.
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan was renominated
for the presidency by reclamation. In
1904 he could have been renominated
for the third consecutive time had he
desired the honor. Now, in 1908, on
the eve of the national convention at
Denver, he appears to have an easy
two-thirds majority for the nomination.
His two defeats for election to the
presidency do not appear to have i'm
paired his availability for third can
didacy in the estimation Of the great
body of Democrats whose demands
sway the party.
And yet he is plain private citizen.
Where will you find in our history a
man without official power. without
political patronage, without the pres
tige of electoral triumph, who has
been able to make his private resi-
dence the twelve year capital Of a
party organization which has elected
many presidents and through many
years in the past has controlled the
republic?

der discussion in the American con-
gress, and most of the other prominent
Democrats have had their opportunity
to loom large in those discussions.
There have been international Issues
Of the most serious Importance to adj
Just, and they have been adjusted by
the other prominent men in both pofit-
ical parties-the men in Office. Through
all these vast events Mr.. Bryan has
been private citizen In the vicinity OF
Lincoln, Neb. No chance has Bryan
had to do anything officially in state
craft, while the whirligig Of time and
change has flashed magnificent oppor-
tunities full in the face of his friends
and his foes.
Yet Mr. Bryan is the head and front,
the facade and parapet, the cornice,
dome and spire Of the Democratic par
ty, whether you love him or libel him
or let him alone.
Now, honest, isn't this remarkable
fact?
Wherefore, beloved, it behooves US
to analyze this mans character in the
effort to discover just why and how he
has kept his clinch hold upon the party
and the people.
In the first place, Mr.. Bryan is not
Of a retiring disposition. Perhaps that
is why he has not retired from poll
tics. He is an aggressive individual.
He bristles with aggressiveness as a
porcupine with quilts, but he Is not
fretful, like the porcupine. He is ready
always to puncture with one Of his
outsticking quilts anything in opposi-
ton which he considers fallacious or
fatuous or fraudulent, but he never
gets corrugated with anger. He has no
cats paws Of malice. Neither has he
the velvet touch of pussy in the cor
ner nor the truculent pur Of tabby at
the bowl Of milk. He never fares up,
never gets excited save in the exhorta-
tive manner of the evangelist who
breaches what he believes, and preach
es it with the emphasis of JUNCTION.

TRY TO IMPROVE.

The successful man-whatever his
line may be--is the man who is ever
ready and anxious to improve. The
merchant who succeeds is not the one
who gets into a rut and stays there.
He is the man who is constantly alive
to changing conditions and advances
with the times.
The same principle applies to farm
ing. If he wishes to really succeed, a
farmer should not be content with
the methods that his father and his
grandfather used. If he is intelligent
ne should do better than they be-
cause the world is always going for
ward
For years the farmers Of Umatilla
county have been summer following
their land between wheat crops But
they are told by men who should
know that this is unnecessary. DR..
James Withycombe declares that
summer following is wasteful. He
says that crops such as Canadian field
peas and alfalfa should be raised in
stead. BY raising such crops instead
of summer following he says that not
only will annual crops be produced,
but the land will be enriched by the
proceeding.
The farmers of this county are ac-
tive, progressive men in most respects.
Why don't they try to improve their
business? Why don't they seek out
better methods of farming instead Of
trying to dodge them?
The East Oregonian believes firmly
that the farmers of this section are
not getting what is justly theirs. 1t
believes that because of antiquated
methods they are losing money them
selves and are holding back the de-
velopment of the county This is
wronging themselves: it is unjust to
the rest of the people within the
county
From time to time this paper is GO
ing to produce articles from good au-
thorities bearing upon this subject. II
hopes that they will be given consid-
Grafton by the farmers and that the
suggestions made will be given fair
trial.
