Editorial
Opinion
Surprising" the Wrong Way.

"Supposing" the Wrong Way.
Delaware Republican.
The Democratic papers are gloating
over a suppositious picture painted by the
Sussex Republican edited by Mr.. Robert
Houston, former collector Of the Port
of Wilmington. Mr.. Houston "supposes''
that the Democrats win capture the next
Legislature and elect a United States
Senator unless the leaders of the Re-
publican party do certain things. What
these things exactly are the Sussex Re
publican does not mako clear. but mere
~ hints that the interests of the party
be turned over to G. class which il STYLES
Independents" In other words IT ad-
yises that the loyal members of the Re
publican party Of Delaware hand over
the reins Of party management to a
few malcontents as the only possible
means Of saving the party from destruc-
tion.
This woeful picture drawn by Editor
Houston is considerably weakened by tho
fact that he bases the downfall of the
Democratic party on walse promises. and
predicts the wreck of the Republican
party from the same causes. lie says:
"The Republicans who were interested
in politics when the Democrats were ir
power prior to 1855, viii recall how grad
ually the power Of Democracy weakened
as the management Of the party passed
into weaker and less competent hands
and how finally. when that party had
forfeited the confidence Of the people Il
became a prey to the temptation Of Ad-
dicks money"
Now, every Republican in Delaware
and Democrat. as well, will recall that
the overthrow Of the Democratic party in
this State came WIN the Republicans
forced tho Democratic assessors to place
Evening journal., 1909-09-18

their names on the voting lists and fore
ed the Democratic collectors to accept
their taxes. This was done when funds
were furnished TO force it. Thousands
OF Republicans, who had therefore failed
to enfranchise themselves because OF
Democratic trickery, became listed as
voters and the Democratic party went
down to defeat before them.
Mr.. Houston knew this when he penned
the above and why il suited him better
to cast obloquy on the Republican party,
than to mako this plain statement OF
fact is, of course, matter for loyal
Republicans to consider.
We do not suppose" that the Demo-
Gratis wsu carry the next Legislature
despite Mr.. Houston's predictions. and
loai Republicans do not suppose so
either.

NEW IDEAS IN TAILORMADES
Partisan Models for Autumn and Win.
ter Months Show Changes in
Fashion.

Even the most modest of us recog-
nize the necessity of having smart
tabernacle. With this in view the
writer took particular interest in some
new models just sent from Paris for
the autumn and winter months. They
all had long coats and short skirts,
but they are great improvement on
the long, straight garment one has
seen for the last six months. One
costume was in fine navy cloth
trimmed with black silk braid about
quarter of an inch wide. The dress
was princess, with three-quarter
sleeves, showing bright green NOUS
seine undersleeves. The small yoke
was also green, but a black cravat
ness of it near the face. The skirt
was short and plated from the knees,
and was trimmed with black silk braid
arranged into pattern of is century
bows stitched fiat. The long coat
nearly reached the hem of the skirt,
and had trimming of the same kind,
with slightly bioused front attached,
fastening at one side below the long
waistline, Behind it was semi fitting.
winter costume of particular dis
tinction was in burgundy-colored
serge trimmed with gray rngtail. The
princess robe had guimpe and
poigness of gray mousselne worked
with design in gray darning wool,
and the plated skirt was trimmed
with straps OF the cloth stitched into
fiat designs, also Of eighteenth cen
tIiy date, and a band of fur around
the feet The very long coat had a
roll collar outlined in ringtail, which
crossed over the chest and fastened
below the waist with two enormous
buttons covered with burgundy cloth,
embroidered in gray wool. These two
models will, without doubt, have a
huge success, for they are both
graceful and practical, rare COM
bination in fashions fitful fancies.

THE COMING PROSPERITY.
Mobile Advertiser. }

Rishard II. Edmonds of The Manu-
facturers' Record of Baltimore, is in
very optimistic frame of mind. He
views the situation in the business
world today and makes prognostica-
tons which, if they come true. are the
most promising ever offered to pro-
gressive people
In his careful study of the return of
the country to normal conditions he
remarks that the various branches of
trade are finding their ways back to
the paths which they held two years
ago. He tells us that we are produc-
ing iron at a rate of three million tons
a year above the record output of
1907, but that other branches of bust
ness are not keeping up with this.
Were it otherwise, that is, were 9th
err lines of business keeping abreast
the steel and iron trade, he says the
railroads of the country would be com
pletely swamped beneath the freight
traffic. unable to handle it at all.
Even now there is a shortage OF
cars in the iron districts of West Vir-
ginia and Alabama.
Mr.. Edmonds states that the rail
roads must spend money for increased
traffic arrangements at the rate OF
one billion dollars per annum for the
next ten years to keep up with what
is promised. His view is a most OPP
timistic one when he expresses the
opinion that all business will lift it
self to the plane on which iron and
steel are progressing. OF course. if this
be true, the railroads must, of necessi
| ty, increase their rolling stock, theiI
mileage, the number of trains. and al
this calls for more material and labor
The reaction setting in at one point
is certain to cause the same effect al
another, and so on, ad infinitum.
The fact that the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation is extending its field for
obtaining iron ore is noted by the edi
tor of The Manufacturers Record
but Mr.. Edmonds is hardly so optimis
tic as Professor Porter of the Uni
versity of Cincinnati, who believes
that iron ore production in 1920 will
be S5,000,000 tons. But, says Mr. Ed
monds it is entirely within reason
that the production will be about 60
| 100000 tons, twice the present out
put.
The laity may not readily figure
what other business must do if il
| keeps pace with such a production in
the iron, and steel market. But the
laity may see that, this being true
| the railroads must begin spending
billion year for ten years if they
are going to be prepared for the i'm
mense freight traffic which will be
carried on.
