SOCIAL TEA FOR
benefit OF LIBRARY

The first of what is expected will
be series of social teas for the bene
fit of the Library, was held at the
Library room yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. N. W. Mcconnell of the Library
board, was assisted in receiving by
Miss FraLces Ludwick, Mrs. George
Columbia, Mrs. Il. NJ Howells and
Mrs, Thornton Rennell. The young
ladies of the Ae Thea club assisted
in serving the refreshments.
The Library was attractively dec
GRATED with roses and other flowers.
Over hundred ladies and few
venturesome enjoyed the hospitality
of the hostesses
The main purpose of the occasion
was to stimulate interest in the Pub
lie Library, and this it is believed
WAS accomplished, for no one entered
the neat. tasteful room and saw its
hundreds of we'll .se lected books, with
out feeling that Florence has a
library to be proud of aud one
which deserves the support of all
good citizens. At the same time,
a substantial silver Offering was re-
ceived which will DO applied In
the purchase Of new books.

FARM LABOR PROBLEM.

G ONE farmers in the lower counties believe
~ that the farm labor problem may be solved,
partly at least by the employment of the Bohe-
mians who are brought into the State during the
canning season
For some years the many canneries in lower
Delaware have been unable to secure local
help, and the custom has been to import Bohc-
mians from other places to do this labor Houses
are built for them, they are industrious workers,
and their labor has been satisfactory This year
the sudden shortening of the tomato crop has
resulted in these Bohenans being thrown out of
work The foreigners, however, have been used
by the farmers in cutting corn. They adapted
themselves to this work so that it is hoped many
of the Bohemians can be obtained as permanent
workers in the Delaware field.
About the only objection to them that we have
noticed in the State papers is that they go fishing
on Sunday and do not keep the Sabbath" ac-
cordng to the Puritanical standard
They have, therefore been termed by writer
in one of our exchanges "a Goddess people" But
this does not follow at all. The Bohemians are
doubtless a religious people at heart and they
have their own ideas of Sabbath observance,
which may conflict with the Sussex county
standard.
If this is the only, objection that can be made
to the foreigners and if their work is satisfactory,
we have no doubt that the farmers will be glad TO
get them as helpers.

MORE HEARST DISCLOSURES.

M HEARST fred some more hot shot at
his meeting in New York last evening. He
produced letters alleged to have been written by
ex-senator McLaurin, Democrat, in 1902, show
ing the intimate relations between the South
Carolina senator and the Standard Oil Company.
MeLaurin was then engaged in fight against
Tillman in South Carolina, and evidently was re-
ceiving Standard Oil support.
Another letter is alleged to have been written
by John p Elkin Judge on the bench OF
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Elkin was
formerly a Republican candidate for governor of
Pennsylvania. and was very influential in the
politics of that State. Elkin's alleged letter
shows his close relations with the Standard Oil
Company when the now Judge was in active poll
tics OF course no disclosures affecting Pennsyl-
vania politicians need be expected to cause sur
prise in that State or damage to the politicians
1t looks as if the Standard has had very wide
trail over our political life.

Editorial Opinion
Art Of saInsuunmen.

New York Evening Sun.
A class is reported as formed to in
struct saleswomen IN the finer arts of
their art. The teacher begins with the
advice Of the old-fashioned photogra-
pher, Look pleasant please" and goes
on to say that at present there is too
much indifference IN the bearing Of
many saleswomen. Also, one of the
young ladies asked If the proposed
course would help them In choosing a
husband"-most interesting and mod
ern phrase. With all historic prejudice
and some modern precedent against
assailing the person I'm the position Of
disadvantage, It must be confessed
that some saleswomen are Indifferent
and might have better manners. The
point to be insisted on by the instruc-
tor is plain enough. If a saleswoman
will realize that only by courtesy and
diligence can she hope to gain appre-
citation and better pay for her work,
wearing and arduous as IL certainly is,
she viii soon perceive that the girl
with brains IS bound TO excel her less
intelligent fellow worker. And there
you are-just as IL she were a man
among men.

RAW MEN ARE
NOT WANTED
New Regulation Issued Re-
garding EhCampment of
Militia Forces

Adjutant General l. p Wickersham, OF
the Organized Militia of Delaware. has
been notified by the United States War
Department of a new regulation in regard
to joint camps held by the United States
authorities and the National Guards Of
the states, designed to prevent the car
rying Of uninstructed troops to camp.
Under the regulation no enlisted man will
receive pay from the United States unless
he has been IN the company TO which he
is accredited for at least six months
prior to the date Of camp and has been
sufficiently instructed in the drill regula-
tions, small arms, firing practice and man.
ual of guard duty. Those who have re-
ceived equivalent instruction I'm some
branch of the regular service Of the Ma
tional Guard of some state are accepted
The rule will prevent an abuse which
has grown up in some states Of padding
the organizations with unframed men just
before the camp begins. This has beer
commented upon by the regular officers
assigned to duty with the militia and
has lessened the effectiveness Of the worl
done. on the other hand, Il is said by th'
National Guard officers, that a large pro
portion of their -enlistments take place
shortly before camps. and that this is on,
of the greatest incentives to men to com,
into the companies. They fear that tn
new regulation will tend to keep down tn,
mebership of the companies. 1t is recog
nized that some limit should be set, but 4
is feared that the period Of six month
previous to the camp Is too great. particu
larly as the date of the camp is not gen
orally known so far in advance.

Outten, being compelled to move by
the terms of the sale Of his farm, and
being uncertain as to whether or not

tuted. This was done and Mr.. Hopkins
was made the Democratic nominee.

Natural Beauty In cities.

Cleveland Plain Dealer
The New York World cries that
there are no trees on Broadway. and
very few in all New York. It seeks
to inspire New Workers. with the desire
to restore outrageous foliage and a
semblance of natural beauty to the
barren thoroughfares Of the metropolis.
It is a hopeless crusade to preach.
Wherever the trees have been lost they
can never be restored. Americans,
specially Americans Of the New York
type. are too busy to think OF putting
shade trees whore at one time they
fiourished. Once the trees are gone
they are gone forever.
All of which contains an excellent
moral for Cleveland. Cleveland still,
has its trees, but. owing in some de-.
gree TO culpable negligence, our OWE
Forest City" bids fair to become as
treeless as the city on Manhattan
Island. It behooves Cleveland to be
careful Of its natural beauty, and OF
this nothing is so valuable as the trees
that have supplied a distinctive desig-
nation for the Ohio metropolis. When
the trees are gone the city will be hope
less OF restoring them, and it will b.
as void Of natural beauty as is great
FOtham.

The su.nnshnnnn Disaster.

Baltimore American.
The causes leading 10 the collapse Of
a 3SO-foot section of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad bridge over the Susque-
hanna River are not clearly apprehend-
ed. Neither the contractors who were
remodeling the structure nor the rail-
road authorities seem 20 have had the
slightest suspicion that any section OF
the bridge was in a weakened condition.
The structure was in process Of trans
formation from a single track arrange
ment to one of double tracks, and dur,
ing the while the work of remodeling
was in progress trains were run con-
tinuously each way. The rebuilding Of
this great bridge without interfering
with the train movements has been
described as 1.-The most daring bit OF
railroad engineering ever attempted in
this country" There is now impress
sive reason for believing that it was all
together too daring.
1t has been suggested that the bridge
may have been dynamited, but such a
theory seems not to be we'll grounded.
The span went down under the weight
Of heavv-laden train.
It is conceded that the section which
collapsed. known as the east channel
span. together with what is termed the
west channel span, constituted the
most delicate and difficult portion OF
the entire engineering problem. At the
part of the river where the COLLAPSE
occurred the builders had to contend
with a depth Of water varying from
is to 55 feet. Above rhe water Level
the structure was to be carried to a
height of 30 feet and the width of the
span was $50 feet. It does NOT re
quire the special knowledge of an eng'-
neering expert 10 be able to preceive
that the remodeling Of this portion Of
the bridge involved extraordinary haz'
ards.
The collapse Of the span will newt
ably delay the work OF rebuilding, but
as the section that went down is only
a fractional part-3sO feet in a total
length Of 1000 feet-the delay viii
probably not be extended. There is
great reason for thankfulness that II
was not a passenger train under which
the structure toppied and that not a
single life was lost by the accident.
Evening journal., 1908-09-25

women in Denmark have been granted municipal
suffrage and may vote for all officers excepting
members of Parliament; women of Sweden, who
have had the right to vote for some time, have
recently been made eligible to city offices. Even
in Russia, women of property have been given
proxy vote for the Douma, which was probably
done to strengthen the hold Of the conservatives
in the Cars dominions In England where
women have long possessed municipal suffrage,
they have been made eligible as mayors of bor-
oughs.
In the United States $4,000 women appealed
to the Michigan convention for suffrage, but they
did not get it. Many political organizations have
declared for suffrage and the advocates of the
movement are hopeful that even greater progress
will be made during the next few years.
1t is interesting TO recall the Wall street
method of dealing with equal suffrage. The
brokers and the representatives of the predatory
interests conclude that the best way to combat
the growing movement is to throw lemons and
inkstands at the speakers and to hoot them. But
this enlightened method of considering a public
question is not at all likely to disturb the women
who are laboring so zealously for their cause.
