QUALITIES THAT COUNT.

4 I is after all, the staying qualities Of a man
4 or movement that count. The horse that
starts off with rush in fine fette is not always
the horse that is in first at the finish. The meat
boycott began with a great flourish at what
might be called the psychological moment" but
if anything was ever like rocket that boycott
surely was.
Some persons thought some of the butchers
would be put out of business and terrible things
would happen The people were going to quit
eating meat and the trust would be on its knees.
lt was a sentimental question with many people
With others the boycott was necessary because
of lean purses. However, in all parts of the
country the meat boycott collapsed at the same
time 1t started with wave and ended with not
a ripple. No one is talking about boycotting
meat at present
The net result seems to be that the trust is
Standing pat" and is preparing to punish the
folks who started the agitation against it. Meat
in many cities is reported higher in price than
before the boycott.
There seems to be no definite movement that
promises success to break up the trust We talk
about the trusts and the trusts do business at
the old stand. The trusts thoroughly organ
lied with the brightest captains of industry at
their head. The trusts have staying qualities
The people tire. The trusts work day and
night They always keep an eye on politics and
the people play into their hands by electng
their agents to the highest places in Congress
1t is a battle OF the unorganized mass OF people
against the highly trained and disciplined army
of the trusts The trusts always have the adj
vantage because they have TO secure only part
control of one branch of a legislative body to
control. 1t is a sort of him-Aam game that the
people, so-called are up against.
Those who fancy that il is easy for Mr.. TAFT
or for any other President to whip the trusts and
the predaceous interests which are always on
the Job" are reckoning without comprehending
the enormous power and strength of the special
interests Their greatest asset is in the fact that
they know that agitatons will "blow over" that
the man that holds fast and sits steady has the
greatest chance of winning.

CAPT RAND FOR
A DEEPER INLET
Government Engineer FaVOrS
Plan to Improve Atlantic
City Waterway

The future development Of Atlantic
CITY, particularly with reference to
transportation by water and the i'm
provement of Absecon Harbor, are the
topics treated in documents transmitted
by the Secretary of War to the Speak
CT of the House and referred to the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors at
Washington. Both the district officer
and the division engineer believe that
there should be an expenditure of $4,000
year for surveys, pending the con-
struction of a bridge. with a wharf
and supply depot within the inlet.
Captain l.. H. Rand, Engineer
Corps, formerly of this city, points out
that Atlantic City "as a point of con-
sumption per capita of imported pro-
duce probably has no equal" An esti-
mate is made that the present annual
consumption Of commodities, about 95.-
600 tons, offers opportunity OF saving
nearly s5OO.0O0 a year in freight charges
on articles that could be brought to
Atlantic City as we'll by water as by
rail.
The report cites that the operation
or one vessel experimentally between
Atlantic City and New York has al
ready shown that "the demand for such
transportation was sufficient to guar
antee profitable business"
Captain Rand further declares that
since the commerce to be developed
is so extensive and could effect saw
ings participated in by such a large
proportion Of The population Of the
United States, the inlet is worthy OF
Improvement by the general Govern
ment."
The senior member OF the Board OF
Engineers, Col. G. d. Knight. declares:
There is the possibility of COM
merce Of considerable Importance at
Atlantic City, and If an adequate and
reasonably permanent channel can be
obtained and maintained at moderate
cost. it appears advisable for the
United States to undertake the i'm
provement. The board therefore con-
ours with the district officer and the
division engineer in recommending that
an estimate of cost be authorized"

Editorial
Opinion
A Terrible Crime.

Dover Republican.
The death of Mrs. Corde la Botkin, the
California Borgia, which occurred Mon
day night in the San Quentin Pen.tentiary
where she was serving a life sentence, re-
calls one Of the most cod blooded crimes
ever recorded in the history OF this State.
Our own town Of Dover furnished the
victims for this murderess, in the persons
OF two Of the best known and most re-
spected women OF the community, and
their complete innocence of any wrong
ever done the nend who caused Their
death made the crime all the more hid
eous and appalling.
Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Dean. daus,hte~s
of former Congressman John b. PenrSng-
ton, were the direct victims. but the
death shortly after Of both father opd
mother, undoubtedly hastened by the
shock, too plainly proves that this poison
er by her act swept this entire family into
eternity
John p. Dunning, an Illicit passion for
whom led this poisoner to commit the
crime is also in the grave, dying a wreck
Of his former self, and thus the death OF
this female fiend may be said to close the
last chapter in the history of a crime
such as It is hoped Delaware will never
again be called upon to record.

DELAWARE COLLEGE.

THE Newark Ledger says that it would be
l. better for those who are disposed to
criticse the management of Delaware College to
await the report of the committee which IS inves-
tigating the affairs of that institution And this
is sound advice for as the Ledger says, II is
serious thing to bring charges against the honor
able gentlemen representing the Board OF Irus-
tees The Newark newspaper remarks that but
few people are opposed to the present manage
ment of the college.
1t seems TO us that the college has prospered
considerably ,Apring recent years The investi-
eating committee will doubtless clear up the
points that have caused contention. The farm
ers for some time have been dissatisfied 9th
the college, believing that the agricultural
courses have not been what they should be, but
it must be remembered that this department has
been almost barren of students.
For some reason the young men OF Delaware
do not care to pursue the agricultural courses
offered at Newark And in fact the farmers
Institutes are not attended so well as they
should be The efforts to promote the agri-
cultural interests of the state have devolved
upon few men, few leaders who take up new
methods and keep up with what is doing in other
parts of the country. The mass OF farmers seem
to 90 along in the same old way. The fact that
grain is now higher in price helps along the spirit
of contentment. Grain producing is the easiest
kind of farming, though the returns are smaller
and many farmers like persons in other pursuits
are pleased to take the easiest way.
In some of the Western states the agricultural
schools are crowded with students. The Uni
versity of Wisconsin, has young men and women
taking the agricultural courses A lecturer for
the Young Mems Christian Association 'vho
spoke here some time ago showed that in west
ern community the Association conducts annu-
ally very profitable course in agriculture, much
attention being paid to corn growing. If there
were demand for the extension of the agricul-
tural course at Delaware College we believe the
Trustees would respond to that demand
AT any rate should like to see the college
placed on a basis that would silence the critics.
One of the things that we seem TO have always
with us is some contention about Delaware Col
lcge This contention, perhaps is due to the
fact that the state has much to do with its man
agement. No college can prosper as it should
DO if there is wrangling over the management
A faculty cannot labor with ease where there is
friction among the trustees.

TO CELEBRATE
PATRONAL FEAST

in St. Patrick's Church at 10 o'c ocl on
Thursday morning the patronal feast OF
ST. Patrick will be celebrated with solemn
high mass. The Rev James p. Quigley,
pastor of the church, win be celebrant. He
will be assisted by the priests of the city
churches. in the presence of the Rt. Rev
John j. Monaghan. The panegyric will be
preached by the Rev. John Dougherty,
of Newark. Del
Concerning the celebrate Father
Quig ey says: 1T is fitting that this pa
tronal feast should be celebrated each
year with all the pomp and dignity which
the ceremonies .of, the church permit The
great apostle Of Ireland Is indeed a worthy
person, and under his guidance and pro-
lection, the faith Of our people will be
preserved and strengthened. Itt us hope
as the years go by "a rue and solid devo-
tion toward st. Patrick whose marvellous
words and works are known to us all
ought to exist in the heart of every true
Catholic who loves the faith of Jesus

THE ONE STANDARD.

THE Dover Republican should not be sur
i priscd because Senators DUPONT and
Richardson are criticised by the Wilmington
Democratic paper for their vote in support OF
the Postal Savings Bank bill,
The local paper thinks the Delaware Senators
have stepped on the toes of some private inter
ests and that is enough for it. The sentiment
of the public as a mass is not TO be considered
if it affects or is supposed to affect any private
corporation or any body of moned men. The
doctrine of the divine right of wealth and rail-
road companies is the chief doctrine that is per-
sistently cultivated by that paper
The Postal Savings Bank was pledged by the
Republican national platform and we think our
Delaware Senators men always willing to
stand by the pledges of the party. In this they
differ from many representatives of the Demo-
cratic, party. 1t was Senator Bailey of Texas
who said that he sidestepped the planks of his
party platform when they did not suit him. The
action of Democratic legislatures in Virginia
and in Georgia in defeating the income tax
amendment to the constitution although the
Democratic national platform favored any Timpo-
sition of the income tax, shows that party
pledges and principles have little WEIGHT with
many Democrats who are elected to office

NINA'S CREW DIED
LIKE TRAPPED RATS

NORFOLK. Va, March 1.-THE naval
tug Nina probably went down in the
storm off the Delaware Capes without
giving her crew Of 81 men time even to
lower a boat.
The condition Of the llfeboat from the
missing tug, found near Metompkin inlet
on the Delaware coast, seems to show
that the boat was torn away from the
davits either as the Nina went down or
after she sank. This has been shown by
careful examinatioR of the boat at the
Norfolk Navy Yard. The block from a
davit was still hanging TO one Of lac
rings of the boat.

Con INFO TRouRLE WITH OPEN EYES.

a S result of the prosecution of persons
charged with keeping speak-easies in Kent
county, several citizens have been sent to the
worShouse for months. Hereafter it will be
dangerous for persons to violate the prohibnory
law in that county. 1t may be said for those
who forced the prosecutions that they were re-
luctant to take the step which has resulted in
sending the speak-easy keepers to prison
The Law and Order officials of Kent gave the
suspected sersons repeated and frequent warm
ings that they would be prosecuted but no atten-
ton was paid to the warnings and the convicted
persons have no one to blame but themselves.
They seemed to have an idea that keeping a
speak-easy that selling liquor in violation of the
law was an offense that it would be difficult to
convict person Of but these persons should
remember that the sentiment in Kent county is
strong for prohibition and the majority at the
election was large for the "drys.' Those per-
sons therefore who violate the law and openly
outrage the public sentiment of a community
must be prepared to take the consequences.
The trials in the Kent county court show that
the people of that county are determined that
the law against speak-easies shall be enforced.

DRAINAGE IN SUSSEX.

c TORIES of the increasing wealth of Sussex
- county make us forget that much ground in
the county is almost worthless for want of
proper drainage. The richest lands OF the county

water and often untilable for lack of drainage

era Of road administration the problem of drain
age will be considered BY proper drainage
