THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS.

NNE of the curious developments of present
- day politics in Delaware is the effort to
paint the Democratic party as winter than snow.
It's purity and radiance shine forth brighter and
better than Taft smile
We think that when the Wright Brothers have
perfected their airships the first car load of pas
sengers who will start on a journey for Heaven
will be gathered from the Delaware Democrats
When they arrive there the finest harps will be
handed to them. We, of course, do not wish to
lose these Democrats, for the State with their
absence would sink into the pit of iniquity
Every Republican accused of violating the
election laws seems to be assumed to be guilty
If not guilty why, then, partisan influences must
have been at work But behold Let a Dem
ocrat be accused and at the cry is heard that
the case amounts to nothing; that il was deep
laid scheme TO embarrass the attorney-general; ;
that the evidence must have been cooked up
The thought, however, never seems to have oc-
Cured that the evidence in some of the cases
involving Republicans may have been cooked
up
There is nothing to justify assertions that all
the political sheep have suddenly wandered into
the Democratic fold and the goats are in the Re
publican field. We fancy that saints and sim
ners are to be found in both parties.
Considerable money has been used in Delaware
elections in times past We believe that less
money is now used than at any time during
the last few years. The Democrats employed
all the money they could get their hands on.
How eagerly few years ago they searched Tor
some rich man who could match the then pie
thoric pocket book of Mr. Addcks How some
of the down State" Democrats journeyed to
Wilmington and rang door bells at night in the
hope that rich Democrats would descend the
stairs and hand out a few thousand for "egit-
mate" expenses on the day before election The
Democrats may have stopped the use of money.
We hope they have The Republicans may
have done like wise. We hope they have But
to assume that all the money used is in one
hand and that the other hand is spotless seems
to MS to be stretching the imagination little
too far.
1t is hard to secure conviction in cases OF
alleged violation of the election law. Any man
guilty or innocent, high or low, rich or poor,
is likely to be hailed before court on the
charge 1t is a pleasure when man is ac-
quilted by that tribunal. II is source of sat
isfacton to his friends. No one wants an nno-
cent man convicted. Ii is better that a dozen
guilty persons escape than that one innocent
should be convicted.
AS we have said all the evidence given in
such cases has been conflicting and the court
was forced to decide upon the conflicting evidence
II 1t is fair to assume that prosecutions of Re
publicans for alleged violation of the election
laws are made in good faith, why is it not fair
to assume that prosecutions of Democrats are
made likewise?

TOMATOES TOO SCARCE
FOR CANNING PURPOSES

The Wilmington housekeeper who ex-
poets to can tomatoes this summer for
winter table use will find it an expen-
sive proposition. There is no prospect
of her getting enough tomatoes from
the present crop for preserving, and,
unless rains come within the next two
weeks. the second crop will be but
little better in this respect
The tomato shortage this year is
worse than in several years, and the
deficiency Of the first crop is attributed
directly 10 the drouth of the late spring.
With the ripening Of the second crop
only two weeks distant. the weather
again will play an important part in
determining the supply of the veg
etable.
Tomatoes. which were bringing $3.50
at this time last year, are now selling
for 81 per basket. Whether the price is
to be reduced and the housekeeper will
be afforded an opportunity to can any
quantity Of the vegetable, will be de-
termined by the output Of the next
crop, which viii appear about August 1.

RULE STOPS TALE
BEARING TEACHERS

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio. July 13.-
The Steubenville board of educators
will act one month hence on a resolu-
ton. introduced by the teachers COM
mittee, attacking talebearing and tat
Ting among the school teachers.
1t is with deep regret that the mem
bers of your committee have learned
that considerable gossiping. and oven
talebearing or tattling. is being carried
on in some of your schools among the
teachers" says the resolution.
Your committee would recommend
that the rules be amended. making gos-
siping and talebearing from one to
another about something that in no
way personally concerns them a just
and sufficient cause for removal of the
one so offending"
The school teachers have been arous-
ed to indignation.

CONSERVATIVES AND TAFr.

HE Wall Street Conservatives have their
\ fears about Taft. They tried to defeat
him for the Presidential nomination because he
was the choice OF Roosevelt But their plans
went awry. When they saw that the nomina-
tion and election of Taft was inevitable they
began to snuggle up to him. They petted him
and said he was so different and all that. They
could not be kind enough to the new President
w ell, everything went along rather smoothly
The President settled down to a quiet and re-
pose unknown during the Roosevelt rule at the
White House And the Wall Street Conserva-
tives were happy very happy.
But they had a rude awakening The corpo-
ration tax amendment to the tariff bill was as
bomb to them. They couldn't see how it all
happened. Here was the big Jolly President,
who by OF the hand got Aldrich and the
other Conservatives who are supposed to do
he bidding Of Wall Street into line for the
orporation tax. They said it was better than
income tax, but Why have either? asks
Il Street. We may add that large part of
remainder Of the country asks the same
ion, and strange as it may seem, is with
Street in this matter.

No Disease Germs

The bane of raw milk is disease germs. For
any germ in milk breeds with frightful rapidity.
There may be germs of consumption from
tubercular COWS, which are common Infections
may come from diseased milkmen or from dirty
dairies
These germs make raw milk the most terrible
foe of humanity For one thing, two-thirds our
infant mortality is due to them.
Van Camps milk is germless.
Our cows are inspected; so are the men who
mix them. Our dairies are sanitary Our
buildings are built without wood We make a
business of cleanliness.
Then Van Camps is pasteurized after the cans
arc sealed. Not germ Of any kind can remain
in it.

Six Cents Per Quart

Van Camps is as thick as thick cream-so
thick that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay your milk
man for cream.
Add two parts water and you have rich milk.
The cost of such milk when you buy Van
Camps by the case, is but six cents per quart
Then you have no waste-no milk left over
That saving in itself, is enormous.
So you have a COW in your kitchen-rich milk
or cream whenever you want it, And it costs
less than hand-to-mouth buying.
You have pure, rich milk for less than you
pay your miikman.

The automobile law requiring that visitors
from other states must take out licenses if they
want to travel through Delaware is considered
a measure of retaliation because other communi-
ties have a similar law. There NAV be some
good reasons for the placing of such restrictions
upon motorists, but it seems to us that each state
should welcome visitors whether they come in
motor cars or in any other conveyance The
automobile brings many visitors to Della

them may become so much interested in the

MatchIess Milk Dishes

Just make one milk dish with Van Camps
Note the wonderful favor and richness. Then
you'll forever use it.
Yet that favor is not artificial. 1t comes solely
from the whole, rich milk.
You are used to cooking with half-mlk-you
who buy from the milkman. For mikman's

Nothing But Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated Nothing
whatever is added. Nothing is subtracted save
water
It's not peculiar milk.
Our cows are the finest breed. Our dairies
are in the best dairying sections. Our milk is
evaporated while it is fresh.
That slight almond Aavor-apparent only when
the milk is drunk colds due to sterilization.
1t means nothing added 1t indicates simple
purity.
When you heat the millS-as in cooking or
cohee-the almond flavor disappears. You have
then the natural flavor of milk or cream save
our surprising richness.

Think how convenient, how enticing it is
to have pure milk and cream on tap.

LABOR EXCHANGES.

G ONE Of our States are taking up the mat
~ ter of labor exchanges in an effort to
solve the problem of the unemployed. Ger
many has done splendid work in this respect.
In seven German states there are $50 labor ex-
changes and during the last statistical year work
was found through these exchanges for almost
a million of men.
In Berlin alone the great central exchange
was the means of getting work for 100000 per-
sons OF the total number who got employment
through the exchanges almost $4,000 were given
work on farms And all this good is accom-
plished without cent of cost to the men and
women seeking employment
This State directs the exchanges and bears
the expense Of them In Massachusetts the ex-
pertinent Of labor exchanges is being made and
an attempt in that direction was made by Com
missioner Powdery some time ago although it
provoked hostile criticism
While Mr. Gompers is abroad examining
the condition of the working classes of the old
countries, he will probably look into the ex-
changes and if their methods cannot be
applied to the United States

But Be Careful

Condensed milk is half sugar You can't use
it for cooking. Don't think that Van Camps is
like that
And don't think that all evaporated n1ilks are
alike.
Van Camps milk shows about per cent of
butter fat. That's because we use Holsten
milk, and take out two-thirds of the water.
But milk less rich, and with more water left
in, may still be called "evaporated."
If you'll compare Van Camps with other
brands, you will see what difference there is.
Yet others cost as much
