New York Evening Sun.
We knew It would come; somebody was
sure to discover the fact and hammer
our heads with it, Prof Milton Whitney,
Chief ~ the Bureau Of Soils. de-
clares that the increased cost Of living is
due, simply. TO the fact that Americans
are eating far more than they did fifty
years ago. His reasoning IS, we gather,
that though our production Of food is
very great. yet our national appetite has
grown faster still; because It tastes good
IN the back Of our mouths, we sit at table
and eat and eat and gorge and gorge and
gorge.
Thus. the supply is drained, and up
goes the price. The Ultimate Consumer
should think more work harder and eat
less. Only SO shall he remain NJ TO sur
vive. and hence, TO consume. But what
about the man who sells food products to
the consuming appetite? He gets enough
profit so that he does not have TO rise
hungry from the table; he is even able
to accumulate enough invested capital to
enable him 10 have gingerbread twice a
week all the rest OF his life, II he choose.
II is the non-seiling. hard-eating, hand
worker or brain-worker not employed In
directly commercial pursuits who newt
ably pays the freight. He eats too much;
we have suspected It all along; now
Prof. whitney has told us, fatty.
Wei, It Is worth something TO have dis
lodged the truth from its hiding-got it
into the open where It can be met And
that old wheel-horse. the Ultimate Con-
sumer. win have to pay no doubt Good
enough for him. Of course. His lack Of
worthy attributes was pointed out some
time ago by that eminent and ingenious
economist. Mr. Whidden Graham. He
said: "The Ultimate Consumer Why
shouldn't he payg What consideration does
he deserve? Nobody ever made his liv-
ing by being an Ultimate Consumer"

Editorial
Opinion
Is He Self Dsludsd7

New York World
SO amazing is Dr. Cooks failure to
make an intelligent attempt to defend his
title to the discovery of the Pole. It is not
strange that the theory Of self-delusion is
advanced to account for his preposterous
claims
The fixed idea Of great achievement is
one OF the most common forms Of aberra-
ton. Asylums are full OF self-made em-
perors, inventors, explorers ana founders
Of new religions Such delusions may even
exist in men ordinarily accounted sane.
The classic case Of this sort is George
" Of England The battle OF Waterloo.
occurring when he was nfty-four years
old, was the great event OF his life.
Though he was sane, as royal Georges
went, he came to believe from constantly
hearing It discussed that he had himself
been present at the great struggle. And
as few dispute a king no long lived COM
fortably in his honest error.
Cook has for years been interested in
Arctic exploration. He went once with
Peary to the north and once creditably
served in the Belgica Antarctic eXpedi-
ton. For years he has talked and thought
and written OF dangers and sufferings in
the north. Ills dreams have been Of the
blue ribbon of adventure-the Pole. Taken
north by Bradley, he sets out with an
Esquimau party Somewhere west OF Cape
Columbia he reaches the "jumping-off
place" OF the western world He endures
the endless monotony Of the Arctic sea OF
ice and snow and desolation. He suffers
hardshps as real as the actual discovery
OF the Pole might have entailed. He
spends a winter in the edge of the Polar
night, battling with cold, hunger and the
loneliness that often drives men mad Just
escaping death. he emerges the wasted
wreck Of man that Whitney met near
Etah. Would It be strange II man so
trained and so environed should come to
believe himself the Polar conqueror? His
vague narrative, his care-free happiness
when greeted home, his neglect to manu-
facture proofs" for the Danes, are con-
sistent with such a supposition.
The only other theory Is that Cook. a
man who highly values the worlds good
opinion, deliberately entered upon clum-
sy fraud ana. for the sake of brief ap-
plause and little dirty money, advanced
claims whose failure he must have known
would not leave him IN any civilized land
a refuge where under his own name he
could be secured from ridicuie and con-
tempt.
We shall not quarrel with any Of Dr.
Cooks friends who, caught between these
harsh alternatives, prefer now to believe
that he is one more in the long list of men
who have fallen prey TO Authorizations OF
their own greatness.

PLEA or PORTO RIcANs.

II NIDENTLH there is considerable dissatis-
H. faction AMONG the residents of the island
of Porto Rico. our wards Recently representa-
tives of organized labor in the island visited
President Taft and told him that in the island
there are six hundred thousand men, women and
children who are in deplorable condition econ
onlcally and socially If this statement were
true. il would mean that about half the inhabi-
tants OF the island are in more or less distress
Probably the statements arc exaggerated as
the trade reports showing the exports OF pro-
ducts from the island do not indicate any great
Industrial distress and decline. They show
greater activity greater productivity and in
creased consumption. In addition the govern
ment officials in their reports have said nothing
about the distress, but it is hardly likely that
thev would dwell at length on any causes
for dissatisfaction The government officials
there want to hold their positions and
government officials arc not likely TO Law
bare anything under their supervision that may
be wrong If they are liable themselves to get
into trouble. Besides grewsome reports would
be a reflection upon American rule in the island,
and for some reason our rule in our foreign
possessions as in the Philippines for example
does not seem to be popular with the natives
However If is quite likely that President Taft
viii appoint a commission TO investigate. He
should do so. One of the things asked for by
those who have complained to Mr.. Taft is citi-
zenship for the natives They ought TO have
citizensnlp And TINS question mas some local
interest in Wilmington because Mr. John S.
Rossel, of this city, who visited Porto Rico some
time ago returned convinced that the residents
of the island were suffering an injustice because
they did not have citizenship. And a fair
minded man would be apt to take the opinion Of
Mr.. Rossell in preference to that of interested
government officials.
The Porto Rico committee also asked for leg
islation providing for the sanitary inspection Of
workshops, an improvement in sanitary cond-
fions, increased educational facilities for the
children of wor1ngnen. They want an eight
hour law for workers. but it is said in reply to
this that the inefhciency OF the native working
men makes shorter hours impractical.
However, ali these requests seem reasonable
II we are really in earnest in our desire to upft
the Porto Ricans. II we have not that desire we
are merely content to own the island so that
American capitalists can use it as a place to ex-
plot cheap labor and make huge profits for them
selves without regard to the welfare Of the in
habtants.

TO DEDICATE
A new CHURCH

Calvary Protestant Episcopal Church at
Hillcrest will be dedicated on January %
by Bishop Kinsman with interesting cere-
monies
The stones Of which this little edihce
is built were originally used in building.
in 1862. an Episcopal church at Carrcroft,
Delaware.
For many years after its dedication this
church was in a hourishing and prosper
GUS condition. But finally. about four or
five years ago. mainly because OF re-
movals of parishioners. the last regular
services in the little church were held, and
the building vacated.
Through the financial aid OF william p.

Clyde Steamship Co., the Rev. Harry
Chesley, rector Of the Church of the Ex-
tension. at Claymont has had the ma
terial from the old building taken to Hill

church, viii also furnish the large stained

chanoel Of the new church was originally

church, decided to take It to his home to
prevent it being stolen.

THE KENT LEVY COURT.

II HE Democratic apoogists in this city and
n in Kent county having hard time IL
defending the conduct of the Levy Court of
Kent county They have been taking several
columns to tell how the Democrats are bringing
order out OF alleged chaos. ust as they think
matter has been cleared up to their own sat
isfaction at. least, another thing turns up to
plague them This time it is a busted" treas
ury, a shortage Of funds in the county Lo, and
behold according to the apologists, New Cas-
tie county can wait in patience for any money
that may be due it from Kent because the good
Democratic Levy Court there has not yet had
time to set things right The only thing that II
appears to have had time to attend 10 with
rapidity was to increase the pay of the sher-
iff OF the county for feeding prisoners.
But if Sussex is in the same plight as Kent
backward in paying bills why, it is those fierce
corruptonists OF Sussex, according to the Dem
ocrats who are responsible for extravaganza.
So we presume if the record of the Democratic
Levy Court in Kent does not satisfy by the time
the term shall have expired, it will not be the
fault of the Democrats in control of the court
but the fault of the wicked Republicans who
some years ago had control Of the court. Give us
another term in control of the court they
will saw and we can increase the compensation
of few more officials, have another busted
treasury and satisfy the people by again blaming
the Republicans.
Indeed, this is the kind of reasoning that we
may look for in defending the Democratic adj
ministration of the city We have already heard
that the Republicans were responsible because
the City Hall is in such bad condition, although
the matter was not brought forcbly to the at
tention of the people until recently. If the Dem
ocratic administration does not come up to ex-
pectations does not give the people what they
hoped for, according to the reasoning of the
Democratic apologists it will not be the fault OF
the Democrats, but the blame will be upon the
administration of former Mayor Wilson.
Thus the reasoning will be followed around
circle, and it will be as impossible to hold the
Democrats responsible for anything as It would
have been for the elephants in the rear of the
handsome club house OF the Democratic League
to capture that building while Mr. Gray
worthy coherts on guard
The net result of il all is that the Kent county
treasury apears to be busted" to use the classi-
cal expression of the Dover Republican, and the
jugglery by which the court is trying to conceal
the real situation is too much even for the most
ardent Democratic apologsts to swallow
