THE FIGHT AGAINST BRYAN.

M ANY States have yet to elect their delegates
4 a to the Denver convention Alabama for
instance, holds its primaries to-day, and the issue
there is Bryan against the field, with presum-
ably strong contingent working for Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota. A victory for the oppon-
ents of Bryan would mean considerable strength
ening of the opposition to the Nebraskan, as
other Southern States likely to follow the lead
of Alabama. Johnsons friends, and those of
Bryan have been conducting a stirring canvas
Each side organized clubs, opened headquarters
and committees have been busily at work.
The Johnson chairman is hopeful that Bryan
will not get the delegates. He makes a statement
in favor of Johnson, based on reports from some
counties telling of the strong Johnson sentiment
On the other hand the Bryan men say that John
son will be beaten by a vote of four to one
throughout Alabama.
In South Carolina there is much opposition to
Bryan, and the delegation from there will prob
ably be uninstructed The same story is told
from other Southern States but the extent of the
anti-Bryan sentiment is probably exaggerated.
Mr.. Bryan, however, is aroused by the force of
the movement against him. Recently he called
upon the faithful to instruct their delegates An
uninstructed delegation is an anti-Bryan deleqa-
ton. The Nebraskan is not yet sure ofthe nomi-
nation Bryan is far short of the two-thirds vote
necessary to nominate at Denver, but the next
Jew days will tell unmstakably whether his op-
ponents have any reasonable chance to defeat
him.

during the season Of heavy crops, the fruit was
sent in pot luck fashion. Some markets enjoyed
a feast, while others were confronted with fam
inc Much was lost that ought to have been
saved This loss is now avoided by the system
of information bureaus, by quick communication
telling of the state of the market, and by the
practice of the commission men who visit the
fruit district and buy on the spot for cash. They
take the chances of reaping profit on sales
which chances the grower formerly took
Altogether there is promise of good times in
lower Delaware which suggests the thought that
our Board of Trade might stir up that Peninsula
Board of Trade idea for bringing Wilmington
into closer relations with the lower counties
Wilmington merchants should be able to get
their share of the prosperity in the lower coun-
ties If we are to have the good times that come
with abundant fruit.

PRESIDENT STIRRING AGAIN.

nNE thing settled at Washington little while
- since was that no serious legislation should
be enacted during the remainder of the present
session of Congress. Under the lash of Speaker
Cannon, the coterie had fixed matters that
Roosevelt would have to occupy a back seat The
Cannon cabal proposed to show him that what he
advocated was rejected by the country, and that
the speaker and his cronies represented the
American people.
Beaten to a standstill, was the verdict passed
upon the President There would be no anti
injunction measure, no child labor law for the
District of Columbia no modification of the Sher-
man antitrust law TO meet new conditions.
Then came the story that the President had
abandoned his ideas of additional legislation, and
finally came report that peace had been patched
up. But on Saturday the dispatches from the
capital said that cold, clammy chis were travel
ing down the backs of the opponents of Roose-
welt, and Cannon was spiked. With the Presi-
dent behind it, another movement had been start
ed to pass the anti-nuncton bill.
Mr.. Townsend, one of the more important OF
the House leaders, declares himself to be in favor
of bill for correcting the abuses of njunctons.
Such measure may not be passed at this ses-
sion of Congress, but it will be in the not distant
future, because the sentiment throughout the
country is rapidly crystalizng against the abuse
of the injunction in some Federal Courts.

PREPARING FOR FRUIT SEASON.

r Earring not the June drop, possible hail
\ storms and other things perilous to fruit
crops, the farmers of the lower part of the State
are preparing for a large harvest of fruit. The
general opinion is that the yield of berries and
peaches will be large Such prospect, if real
lied, would mean much for lower Delaware
Money would be brought into the State and en-
ployment given to many families in gathering and
shipping the fruit
Plans for shipping naturally concern the grow
ers. They must attend to the freight rates, try
TO secure as reasonable charges as possible and
prompt delivery The railroad company also is
concerned. Doubtless the company is preparing
for busy season, but the railroad men have
learned by sad experience that sometimes these
preparations 60 for naught They make ready
for large traffic, when suddenly some whim Of
the weather knocks all their plans awry, entail
ing loss upon the railway company as well rs
upon the farmers. The transportation companies
have their troubles as well as the growers.
The scheme of information bureaus in the dis
posal of fruit will likely be followed this year.
The whole system of transporting fruit from
Delaware has changed in recent years. Formerly,

A NEW SYNAGOGUE.

VAT THIN a short time the Hebrews of this
w city have become concerned in the build
ing of two synagogues With imposing ceremon-
les yesterday the cornerstone of the Temple OF
Truth was laid, and citizens of various religious
affiliations Joined with their Hebrew fellow
townsmen on this occasion The erecting of these
synagogues is an evidence of the energy of the
Hebrews, and manifests their devotion to the
ancient faith of their fathers.
That the exercises were so largely attended
shows that the widest kind of religious toeration
which is one of the foundation stones of our gov
ernment, exists in Delaware We get along to-
gether as we should respecting the religious con-
victions of one another.
The Hebrews, with their characteristic deter
mination, VIII push the erection of the new syna-
gogue rapidly to completion, and they are to be
congratulated upon the success that has so far
attended their efforts.

at Hays.

HAYS, Feb. 21.-The Hoffman. Cox
case was concluded as far as the evi.
dence is concerned yesterday, Twice
has this case been tried before yet it
did not fail to draw q crowd at the
third hearing. The Hoffmans Of En-
terprise brought suit against Mr.. Cox
to fOreclOse a mortgage for $1,000.
Cox claimed the Hoffmans owed him
$4,000. In 1908 he signed a con-
tract to buy wheat for the Hoffmans.
Some Of 1t was delivered, some con.
tracted for and great deal offered to
him. He estimated that LOCO, 900
bushels could have been secured.
Later the Hoffmans abrogated the
contract. Cox then went into the
-FOUR and feed business and gave a
note and mortgage which the Hoff-
mans now seek to foreclose.

WILL TAX THE GOATS.
Sacred Lodge Buffers Must be
Shown to the Assessors.

II the provisions OF the nav tax Law
are strictly and faithfully compiled
with by the county assessor he will
have to appoint flying squadron Of
deputy assessors who are 'jiners" in
order to properly assess the various
paraphefnalia and live stock ofthe diff
ferent secret orders, says the Parsons
Sun.
The new law requires that all prop
erty belonging to lodges. personal
as well as real estate, except that
used for benevolent purposes shall be
assessed, and no one who hasever seen
the goat Of a lodge in action will hard
ly claim that it is ever used for any
benevolent purposes. Moreover the
law provides that the assessor shall
personally "view the property" This
will be the first year that the goats Of
the different lodges are to be assessed
just the same as other goats, and the
very idea Of the prOfaning eyes Of
deputy assessors penetrating the se-
cret sanctuaries Of the lodge rooms is
shocking.
But there does not seem to be any
loop hole Of escape for the county as
SCISSOR unless he openly violates the
section Of the law providing for the
personal examination Of the property
assessed. As a matter Of fact it is GO
ing to be improbable for the deputies
to personally examine all the family |
silver to see that it bears an "l847"
mark, or pry into feminine wardrobes
to see ii the gaily colored petticoats
are silk only half way up, There is
dangerous as well as sacri-
igious in pudgy assessors gaining
lccess to the tin can pasture Of the
Odge goat and there are not many Of
hem that will insist upon obeying the
aw to the letter.

$24.0O0.

Edward Veneer of Deboise, Neb.,
has bought the old Samuel Bricker
farm on the Detroit road OF D. A.
Dodds for $4,000. The farm con-
tains 800 acres which makes the price
$75 an acre. Six years ago the farm
sold for $4,000. It has changed hands
several times since then, bringing a
larger price at each sale. This shows
the big increase Of land values in Dick
inson county in the past few years.
An increase OF $4,000 in five years is
not so bad, not counting the value Of
the crops.
