GRAND CIRCUIT TRACKS CLOSE.

He announcement was recently made that
II the great trotting tracks Of the East which
have been part of the Grand Circuit for
almost half century, would be closed, and this
will cause regret among the lovers of horse flesh
throughout the East. The closing of such tracks
as Charter Oak and Rcadville marks the decline
in the interest in horse racing Time was not
long ago when the great races attracted thous-
ands of admirers but the attendance has been
falling off to such an extent that the managers
of the famous race tracks were unwilling to play
losing game.
The automobile, of course has done much to
lessen interest in the big races, but many believe
that in a few years there will be a revival OF
horse racing on larger scale.
There seems to be no lessenng OF such interest
in Wilmington The matinee races which have
afforded so much amusement and recreation for
people in this neighborhood will be continued
this year Each year they have increased in
popularity, and while some of the horsemen have
turned their attention to motor cars they have

HAVENs FOR GOVERNOR.

ID EMARkABLE is the boom developed for
IN the nomination of Mr. IIavens for Gov
ernor of New York Havens recently defeated
Aldridge for Congress at the special election in
Rochester Whenever Democrat wins
expected victory in these times, he is at once
doomed for Nice-President, or President, but
there appears to be more than wind in the
Havens agitation. 1t now seems that unless
Governor Hughes reconsders his determination
not to be a candidate again for Governor, tlavens
will be a formidable opponent against any other
candidate that the Republicans may name Al
though Democrat, Havens has been a devoted
admirer of Hughes, and il elected he would
carry out the Hughes policies.
1t is said that President Taft is considering
the appointing of Hughes to the Supreme Court
bench to fill the vacancy caused by the death OF
Justice Brewer, and the Governor is reported as
having aspirations for the bench.N But his duty
in these critical political times is to stay i'll New
York to be a candidate again for Governor
and to complete the work in that state which he
has started.
If Hughes were out Of it, the machine Repub-
licans of New York might nominate one
of their own kind, trusting that Havens would
not be the candidate of the Democrats, and that
there would be a split in the Democratic ranks
But it would be impossible to elect a machine
candidate if the nominee of the other party were
of the opposite side
The sudden popularity and success of lavens
shows, among other things, that there is plenty
of good, latent material in this country that can
be drawn into the public service. We may
regret the withdrawal or departure of this or
that public man. but there are always at hand
those who can take their places. Hughes was
drafted from the ranks of the ordinary citizen.
The insurance investigation brought him before
the country prominently and was the means Of
launching him upon a stirring political career.
Havens has been taken from the hosts of citi-
zens who have not been active politically. and

THE RANK AND FILE.

II HE Sussex Republican regards the recent
4 election in Rochester n. ", at which the
Republican candidate for Congress was de-
feated, as a warning that the tide is against the
Republicans and leaders of the party must re.
store confidence.
All capitalists arc under suspicion from the
public standpoint, and anything which may
appear to favor the special interests or the man
known TO be friendly to the interests is consid-
cred by the public as evidence that the Republi-
Can party, including the President are catering
70 such special interests at the expense of the
public at large says the Republican.
Then the Republican adds:
While it may be true that certain
prominent and influential Republicans
may favor such special interests. vet the
rank and hle of the Republican party
does not occupy such position. and IL
IS the duty OF the voters of the Rcpub-
lican party who believe that the interest
Of the people should be first served to
make themselves heard, and direct the
party by their votes at the primaries.
into the position that the rank and file
of the party believe it should occupy on
the present vital public questions"
We cannot agree with the Republican in the
statement that all capitalists are under suspicion.
The capitalists who compose the special interests
and mix their business affairs with politics the
trafhckers in political privileges who wear a
party label merely because it is convenient and
to their advantage to DO so, are under suspicion,
and they are the ones responsible for the unrest
in the country today.
What the Republican says about the rank and
file of the party is correct, according to our
notion. The great masses of the party are not
tied to the special interests by any means.
They will certainly direct the policies of the
party and will make themselves heard in no

TEACHERS OF AGRICULTURE.

nRESIDENT Edmund ]. James, OF the Uni
i versity of Illinois. one of the noted educa-
tors OF the country says there is greater demand
for teachers of Agriculture than the universities
and agricultural colleges can supply The de-
mand he adds, is also large for educated cngin-
GERS and chemists
This is one OF the encouraging signs of the
benefits Of popular education. Not many
years ago there was a prejudice against the
teaching of agriculture and it was often said
that the only way in which a man could be
farmer was through a course of practical train
ing on the farm. No should decry practical
farming, but there Is no reason why farmers who
have had agricultural college training should not
be better fitted for cultvating the soil than those
who have not.
Farming has become a varied industry. 1t is
not merely the raising of grain, but in the larger
sense it is the cultivation OF crops of all kinds Tor
which the soil in a particular locality is adapted
~ rlis is appreciated by many Delaware farmers,
among them those who have urged that the
survey of Kent county shall be resumed SO that
the adaptabty of the soil for certain crops can
be accurately gauged. There must be progress
in farming as we'll as in other occupations and
the call for advancement is more nsistent as the
subject of the high cost of living is becoming
more and more discussed.
Many OF the agricultural colleges are crowded
with students and the course in agriculture is
attracting an increasing number of ambitious
young men,

Mark Twain Abroad.

Mark Twain Abroad.
New York World.
The obituary notices and appreciations
OF Mark Twain in the foreign press re-
veal an acquaintance with his works and
an intimate interest in his personality
such as it has been tho lot of no other
American author to deserve. Frcm tho
comments Of the London journals il might
be inferred that favorite British writer
had passed away, and the tributes of the
German and Italian press indicate that
his death is regarded in Berlin and Rome
as personal loss.
One reason of his popularity abroad is
of the sense of humor which makes what
New York is laughing at laughable in
Berlin But it was chiefly the very differ
ence OF the quality Of Mark Twain's hui
NOR from anything in British or Contin-
entail humorous literature which appealed

largely based on their distinctive Ameri-
canism, as in the case of Cooper, Wall
Whitman and Bret Harte. These attrib-
