Delaware a Rich Farm State.

One of the most interesting and
accurate articles on Delaware's pro-
ductivity and increasing wealth has
come to the notice of the state
Board of Agriculture, published in
the American Agriculturist. There
is some talk of the Board issuing
the article in pamphlet form if it
can get the consent OF the pub
fishers.
In the course Of descriptive story
the Agriculturist says:
Not alone is the location of Del
aware influential for the agricultur-
ture of the state, but the conforma-
ton of the land is such that it fav-
ors all lines OF farming that can be
done in the temperate states. On
either side of the Chesapeake PENN
sula are great rivers and bays which
act ms balance wheels in modifying
the climate, so that even tender
vegetables and fruits may be grown
with more certainty than they can
be ON the same ATTITUDES inland,
where this water influence is absent.
Then. too, Delaware bay, besides
furnishing abundance of fish and
and other sea food, is used as a
channel for trade. Great quantities
of produce and fruit are shipped by
boat to Philadelphia and other dis
tributing points. This water trans
portation furnishes an economical
system of shipping to balance against
the railroads of Delaware and in the
near future trolley lines are expect
ed to have a still further influence
as they extend through the State
The appearance of the farms indi-
Gates a general air of thrift due to
profitable produce returns. At least
half of the 10000 farms recorded
by the federal census, are operated
by farm owners. The area of inn
proved land is placed at 754, 600
acres: the unimproved brings the
total over 1906, 600 acres. The
average size is 40 acres, an average
area considerably less than the aver
age of the whole country. The
value of the farm property was APP
proximated $40, 100000 at the time
of the last census, but has since adj
vanced more than % per cent. OF
the amount mentioned nearly S34-
500, 600 was represented in land and
buildings; 50, 10000 in farm i'm
elements. In 1908 the value of
live stock had increased Sc, 702, 600
from the 81, 100, 900 reported by the
1900 census. Farm products for
1908 were estimated at sl3, 900, GOO
so that all in all, the State has
much to show for its size.
In general the land is level; there
are no hills worth speaking about in
the agricultural part Of the State,
and no rocky fields so common to
New England, Pennsylvania and
New York; one can 90 for miles
without seeing a stone in a field.
On this account many of the far
mers in the States mentioned have
recognized the superior advantage
Delaware has to offer, and have
brought with them improved meth
dds Thus they have added to the
already large census of good farmers.

ular case. He it was, so says rumor,
that years ago outlined the Worlds
policy Of editorializing, cartooning,
scarifying, matchmaking and other
wise maltreating Theodore Roosevelt
and that the Panama articles in ques-
ton were but the result Of this gen
eral policy.
It is further intimated that the Pu-
liter responsibility is es tablished in
another way-viz, by the fact that he
is more or less close to the railroad
kings, his son, Ralph, having married
into the Vanderbilt family, and that
the railroads, especially those of the
transcontinental variety, are opposed
to the Panama canal, thus furnishing
an additional reason for printing the
articles complained of. However these
things be, Pulitzer is the man they are
after, and if they do not succeed in
landing him behind prison bars it will
be due only to the fact that the jury
renders some other kind of verdict
From the double barreled action that
has been brought in New York and the
District Of Columbia, from the digging
up of old and forgotten laws enacted
nearly a century ago, from the unusual
form of subpoenas served and from
the fact that the attorney general him
self is conducting the proceedings it is
evident that the administration will
leave no stone unturned and no trick

BY JAMES A. EDGERTON.

By JAMES A. EDGERTON.
TT is not every newspaper man who
is of sufficient Importance to call
for a special message from the
president of the United States and
to cause the governmental machinery
to be set in motion for the purpose Of
sending him to Jail. Both of these dis
tinctions belong to Joseph Pulitzer,
the editor and proprietor Of the New
York World. He has been the subject
Of other distinguished denunciation,
William ]. Bryan having ripped it into
him through several successive issues
of tlfe Commoner. Thus Pulitzer has
achieved the condemnation of the
beads of both the great parties, to
say nothing of having been roasted by
nearly everybody else of consequence
in the United States. Yet through it
all the World has claimed the largest
circulation Of any morning paper in
America, has had admittedly one Of
the ablest editorial pages in New York
and has been making money by the
million. If anybody ever thrived on
the meat Of enmity, Joseph Pulitzer is
the man. Since he bought the World
in 18S3-aye, since he started the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch several years ear
lier-he has been abused-copiously vi
olently abused-but his papers have
gone right on in their career Of sue
cess. He may be blind, but they have
eyes. They see things that do not ex-
list perhaps and see other things dis
torted and out Of proportion, but they
see infinitely and far. And these pa
pers are but Pulitzer projected and OBJ
jectifed If ian institution is the
heightened shadow of a man, the

Lincoln to have the paper suppressed.
The martyr president replied:
fear you do not fully comprehend the
danger of abridging the liberties of the
people. Nothing but the very sternest
necessity ever justify that. A gov
eminent had better go to the very eX-
IRENE Of liberation than to do aught that
can be construed into an interference with
Or to jeopardize in any degree the COM
mon rights of it's citizens.
The respect for popular rights, the
patience. forbearance and lack of NAL
ice in Lincoln are qualities that would
do honor to any time OF cline. 1t is
fortunate that his centenary is cele-
brated this year. Would that his spirit
could temper the things Of today!

sixtieth birthday, celebrated last year,
he announced that he had withdrawn

New York World and st. Louis Post
Dispatch are the ideals, purposes and
labor of Joseph Pulitzer put into form.
They are the effects of which he is the
cause, or, if not the sole cause, at least
the first and chief Of many causes. 1t
was this fact which was recognized by
the president in his special message
when he said Of the Panama canal
stories:
I do not believe we should concern our
selves with the particular individuals who
wrote the lying and libelous editorials,
articles from correspondents or articles in
the news columns. The real offender Is
Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, editor and proprl-
etor of the World. While the criminal Of
Tense of which Mr. Pulitzer has been
guilty is in form a libel on individuals,
the great injury done is in blackening the
name Of the American people 1t should
not be left to a private citizen to sue Mr..
Pulitzer for libel. He should be prose-
cuted for libel by the governmental au-
thorities.
A Personal and Public View.
Never since John Adams and the
alien and sedition laws has a mere
editor been so dignified and magnified.
Mr.. Pulitzer has suddenly been exalt-
ed into question of state, an issue, a
| public evil. He is no longer simply a
blind old man with oversensitive
nerves, fussing at the slightest noise
and puttering about the earth in a
yacht with bunch of secretaries and
doctors dancing attendance. That is
only the personal Pulitzer. The pub
/ lie Pulitzer is quite another man-gi-
/ gantic, sinister, the symbol of sensa-
tional journalism, the incarnation of
libel, the objective of executive wrath.
Ugh! It is enough to make sweet
girl graduate shiyer to think of this
journalistic ogre slandering the whole
American people in the persons of Mr..
Douglas Robinson and Mr.. Charles p
Taft. TO paraphrase Henry wills

The occasion proved a very pleas
ant one for those who attended and it
was II o'clock when the attendants
dispersed.
The ladies of the Home Mission so
ciety of Main Street church, prepared
and served very choice and substan-
tial menu. The young ladies OF the
Ladies Circle, assisted in most
graceful manner to wait upon the ia
bles, where only the men, the special
guests of the occasion, were seated.
At 9:15 the church officials from the
three Methodist churches in the city
took their places at the tables. Rev.
Geo. H. Thompson led in a short but
earnest prayer and invoked the Divine
blessing.
After the banquetters had done
full justice to the viands prepared by
the ladies', the toastmaster, Mr.. R. L.
Bennett, called on Rev. Osman Lewis,
of Broad Street church, for an address
on the spiritual needs of the church.
He was in turn followed by those Sc
lected for the discussion of other
subjects.
Rev. w. P. Meador spoke to the sub
ject the Social Life of the church"
Prof F. B. Woodley to THE Sunday
School"
Rev. NJ. D. Scarborough to The Pur
pose and Plans of theeNIethodist City
Union"
Each subject was thrown open foI
general discussion and others present
spoke briefly.
After the regular program was COM
pleted, Hon. H. S. Stevens made an
earnest appeal for the recognition OF
the plan just started by Mississippi
Methodists outside of Jackson to raise
$25, 900 to be rendered the Methodist
of Jackson for the purpose of secur
ing a part in the building of great
memorial church to be known as Gal
lowav memorial He stated that the
Jackson Methodists had already
planned to build such a memorial and
$4,000 had been pledged therefor.
A movement was started by the
Methodists from other parts Of the
state attending commencement exer-
cises of Millsaps College to supple
ment this by a $4,000 contribution
from Methodists outside of Jackson,
so that the entire state may share in
this Iaudable undertaking.

gets A MILLION
FROM STRANGER

CHICAGO, June 9.-Through the
death of his mother, Mrs Emma Mel
son McClintock yesterday, five-year'
old William McClintock was left an
orphan with nearly $6,O00,OOO. A
strange sequence of events led to the
making of the young millionaire, for
the bulk of the money was made by a
man who never knew or heard of the
boy or his mother.
Mrs. McClintock was the widow OF
William McClintock, who was promi-
nent in real estate affairs in Chicago
McClintock married Mrs. Sarah Hick-
ing, a widow who inherited $40OO,OOO
from her first husband. She died and
left the estate to McClintock, who then
married Emma Nelson of Topeka, and
he son, William was born. McClin-
.ock was killed in an automobile ac-
,ident May II, 1907 Attorney Reich
nan says the estate Is largely in real
ty.
