MERELY HOWLING.

HE Democratic newspapers are appealing
u frantically to the lnsurgents-if there be any
in Delaware-to support the Democratic ticket. 1t
is not possible that there can be Republican in
surgents in Delaware who will oppose the regular
ticket, they say. The truth is there do not seem
TO be any more Republican insurgents than there
are Democratic insurgents.
What reason have the Republican insurgents to
support the Democratic ticket? Surely there is
nothing appealing in the Democratic platform or
nothing attractive about the Democratic candi-
dates. The platform is entirely reactionary.
On the other hand there is some reason TO be-
lieve that there many Democrats who will de-
cline to support the Democratic ticket in this
State this year because of the failure of the
vention TO stand for progressive policies or even
good Democratic policies. The Democratic Ma
tiona platform for example favors the income tax,
and yet at the meeting of the Democratic State
Committee the eve of the convention only
vote cast in the committee in favor of the
amendment TO the constitution under which the
government would be given authority to levy an
income tax, authority which it supposed TO
enjoy until the decision of the Supreme Court by
narrow margin upset the income tax.
Years ago the government levied an income tax
and the amendment wished 10 insure that author
ty Judging by the action OF their State
mittee and the State Convention the Democrats of
Delaware not only do not want an income tax but
they do not want the government to have power
10 levy one no matter what the necessity may be
for it.
Democrats in most states have gone on record
as favorng direct primaries, but not word OF it
in the Democratic platform in Delaware.
Instead OF taking ZIP these matters the Demo
cratic platform rails about corruption and bribery
singing the same song that has been sung for years
The whole basis OF the Democratic campaign seems
to consist OF talk about bribery and corruption.
The Journal certainly has no objection to the pun
ishment of bribers and corruptionsts. They ought
n
appears to be defending bribery and corruption
no matter how much the Democratic newspapers
are trying to make il appear that bribery and cor
ruption are being defended.
The Democrats have the prosecuting machinery
of the State The judges have shown their willing
ness to send corruptors to the workhouse and for
our part we don't believe any fool is going to try
to buy voters at this election If all this is correct
why don't the Democrats discuss some other mat
ters? Do they expect to win simply by bowling
as they have howled for years about bribery and
corruption?

the relation between the public utilities and the
public The Republican platform urges the con-
sideraton by the next Legislature of Public
Utilities Commission. The Democratic platform is
silent on that point. The public is to have moth
ing TO say in this matter if the Democrats have
control
Yet if people took a sensible view of this ques-
ton it seems to us they would favor municipal
ownership of all public utilities. The city for in
stance owns its water plant. No we think
would want the Water Department to be owned
by private corporation, the sole purpose of which
would be 20 make money. The water franchise
would OF course be very valuable for any private
company. A huge sum would be paid for it. Why
should the city own its street railway service,
its electric lighting plants? There is no real rea-
The only reason advanced is that the people
arc incompetent through the men elected to Office

-aeeSsav-aafthe public but the public doesn't seem
TO mind And If the public does rQthng with the
who put through the playground deal of
the public wouldn't be very competent TO
own its street railways and lighting services.
We don't know whether the public is highly
pleased with the great increase in the price of cleo
tricity for lighting purposes in this CITY, Perhaps
public will be pleased when its bills for electric
lighting are enormously increased as many per-
sons believe they will be- Perhaps the public may
think that if the city hasn't electric lighting
plant of IT'S own il would be we'll TO have Public
Utilities Commission TO about it all and to find
out whether the increased charges are justified.

causing thought or two in the Board of Trade,
the Business Mems Associations and various or
ganizations of citizens
How do we find the political parties treating the
matter? soft pedal declaration in the Republi-
can platform which carries some hope with il and
cypher in the Democratic platform.
Ask Democratic platform makers about whether
they favor new city charter for Wilmington and
they will howl that years ago some Republican
bought a vote in Delaware.
Ask them whether they favor the parcels post
system as protest against the express company
monopoly, and they will below that corruption
was practiced few years ago in Delaware
Ask them whether they favor continued submis.

In actual money value of course the difference is
vast. With the heavy yields the prices of the cer-
calls will be lower and perhaps the farmers as in
divduals will not get so much for their grain as
they did, but even the present prices of grain
should make agriculture profitable. The large
yield of corn is especially gratifying. While corn
is chiefly used for the fattening Of both cattle and
hogs, like oats it is coming more and more into
domestic use in the form of cereal foods. Judging
by the crops there is certainly no excuse for long
faced business Nature is lavish. She, has been.
1t is only the greed and avarice or the incompet-
ency of man that disarranges industrial and bust
ness conditions. Certainly no blame for poor
business during the last decade can be thrown on
Dame Nature, where man would always like to

CROPS AND PROSPERITY.

F GOOD CROPS mean anything for the pros.
n perity of the country-and they are usually re-
garded as the basis of such prosperity Americans
have reason to rejoice. The government estimate
OF wheat shows a slightly lowered yield, but the
corn and oat crops are expected 10 be record
breakers.
The October government report increases the
estimate yield of corn by some l03OO00OO of
bushels. AS indicated by the September report
the corn crop had already attained an aStonish-
ingly large record OF 2,945,34l of bushels.
This was remarkable prediction and fnanciers
hardly believed it TO be true. They had talked
about three billion yield for corn, but they did
not expect it. They would have been entirely sat
1shed with the September figures but what hap
pened with the October report was an actual in
crease in the indicated yield which surpassed the
three billion mark ~
The October report of wheat showed something
more than rise of ten per cent. as compared with
the indicated yield of the previous month, and il
Is found that the current production is more than
the average crop of recent years. The latest fig
ures show that the present crop is better than that

but short time ago that the harvest would be

when they defeated Yankton college
at the athletic park BY a II 10 Q score.

Yankton had a heavy team. out,
