TREASURER LEE
 M'CLUNG WANTS
 SANITARY MONEY

Washington, October 2.-Lee McClung, to see sanitary currency. In his an- nual report he recommends that the gov ernment increase it's facilities for ex- changing worn and dirty bills for crisp, new ones and suggests that the public might be willing to share the expense of doing so.
 Treasurer McClung makes radical recommendation that the national banks be obliged to deposit an additional per cent redemption fund for these notes early in January each year, in addition to the per cent now required all year round. He declares that during January, April, May and June and July the regu- lar per cent fund is not enough be- cause of the drains upon it. Consequent- ly the treasury has to advance money for the banks.
 Such advances are taken up again when the redemptions ease off. As the notes are obligations of the banks and not the government, MT. McClung recommends that the banks be required to deposit more money to cover them.
 The balance of the report is devoted to a complete review of the finances of the united states treasury uurlnS the fiscal year 1910 which closed on June 30.
 During the year the government took in from ordinary sources S675,511,715, the largest sum in it's history. The revised estimates placed the total stock of money of the United States in existence at s, As, ,591, ,4S3, of which more than $1 1,5O0,000- 600 was in gold Nearly all the stock was in circulation. The close of the year saw little more than s3,00OOOO, 900 in use.
 The demand for small denominations of paper money was evident all through the year, which is taken to indicate an un- usual activity of money in circulation. Very nearly 3OO,00O,00O pieces of paper cur rency were used and, more than 20O,O0Oo0o were redeemed at the treasury. Their face value was $1,703, 4O6,SS5.

Roosevelt to speak for the memorial said he couldn't come The women's committee retorted that II could be tried and they issued the in- vtation, which was immediately ac- cepted.

HEALD OR WHITE?

MHEN Mr.. Robert c. White announced his
w candidacy for the Democratic nomination
for Congress- he declared that he would look after
the welfare Of his constituents of Sussex county,
If we remember correctly, and X may be presumed
that if elected he would try fulfill his promise.
But Congressman William Fl Heald during his
career at Washington has watched after the in
tereSts of Delaware according 10 his light, and for
that he has been severely condemned by his Demo
cratic newspaper critic which declares that he
must answer TO the people of this State
Mr.. Heald need have no fear of answering TO the
people OF Delaware. One Of his replies is that he
did what he could, and successfully az that TO pre-
vent lowering in a tariff schedule which would
have wrought great harm TO the leather industries
of this city. Ii was currently reported and thor
oughly believed by men in that line of manufac-
turing, that had the tariff schedule been lowered
one of the largest factories OF the city would have
surely closed throwing hundreds of persons out of
work. And it was believed that other factories
would have been disastrously affected.
Certainly no sensible business man or working
man in Wilmington would have regarded such an
event as anything else than calamity. We want
se incroase orT number Of industries here instead
of losing any.
Thisfeport that the city might lose factories as a
result OF a change in the tariff plain busi-
ness statement despite Democratic theory that the
leather factories might not have been damaged
BY change in the tariff schedule. Mr., Head has
constantly pointed out the need Of protection for
the leather factories and he has earned the thanks
Of the community.
Not only this, but Mr., Head is entitled to the
thanks of the farmers and shippers of lower Della
ware especially for his attitude the railroad
bill He favored the long and short haul clause
in the railroad measure which will do away with
the determinations in freight charges, under which
the shippers farmers and fruit producers have
suffered. And in addition to this Mr. Heald has
looked after Delaware by helping to secure appro-
priations for two new Federal buildings in the
State.
According to his critic perhaps the Delaware
Congressman should not bother himself with such
matters and yet the Democratic candidate
for Congress announced that he would try TO do
what the present congressman has done but from
different point Of view. II Mr.. White had been
in Congress for example in all probability he
would have not made the fight for the protection
Of one OF Wilmingtons largest industries. The
question then for Wmingtonians and all Della
wareans TO decide is, Which candidate is more
likely to guard the interests Of the State better,
Mr.. White or Mr.. Head? There should be no doubt
about the reply Of the voters Of this State regard
less Of party.

the same conclusion. Indeed it seems
that there is only one other class
which may be compared with our po-
litical sharps, that is to say, the race
Of insanity experts who are never so
imposing and convincing as when
they are contradicting each other
fatty under oath.
With regarda to the low registration
the great and wise men ut various
headquarters agree to disagree, as
usual. But 1t is 10 be observed that,
as usual too, these worthless deal only
with the solid rank and file vote on
each side. They leave out of their
calculations the vote which can new
ed be accounted for, which is always
a mystery, especially in this commu-
nifty, the silent vote. And yet this is
the vote which, in the last resort, set
ties elections.
This is all the more important see
ing that quite a large number of per-
sons, ordinarily belonging TO the class
of silent voters, have been talking out
loud and announcing what they in
tend to do on election day, thus shqT-
ing that, contrary to their earlier
practice, they are unwilling to hide
their light under a bushei.
One thing is certain Wherever the
falling off in registration may have
been, aud whatever the cause of it,
your silent voter, who has a proper
respect for his ballot, and himself as
the wielder OF it, has taken good care
TO have his name placed on the rolls.

EQUITABLE ASSESSMENTS.

- ONE Of the Kent County Democrats object to
- the declaration in the platform Of the Kent
Republicans which calls for an honest and equit-
able assessment of county properties The dis
senting Democrats seem TO think that the Repub-
lican platform a general increase in assess
ments all along the line OF course this is not
the intention, but the Dover Republican well
points out it is proposed TO assess some proper
ties which are paying little or nothing.
The Republican asserts that the assessable value
Of Kent property is about S6000o00o and that at
least $l2,000,000 Of this is not assessed. 1t all
the property in the county we're fairly assessed
the tax rate, the Republican adds, could be easily
reduced to 80 cents.
No subject is OF more Importance than this. An
examination of the assessment OF properties IN
Kent county no doubt would show many manifest
y unfair assessments. We presume the people
with pull have got in their work in Kent as
we'll as elsewhere.
Ii the Republican party of Kent county stands
for fair and equitable assessment OF properties
and no determinations, that fact alone should be
sufficient to bring il victory. And the Republicans
~axc~wes~a aware of the huge task that would con-
front them in endeavoring TO bring about an I'M
partial assessment But that should not halt them
in their efforts
