FREIGHT BY WATER
COSTS ONLY ONE-SIXTH TO ONE.
TENTH AS MUCH AS BY
RAIL.
TRANSFORMATIONS BIG TOLL
American People Annually Pay Out
Three Times as Much for Trans
portation as They Pay for Support
of the Government.
Do you know

Do you know
That the people of the United States
pay out each year about three times
as mRch in transportation taxes, that
is, for the carriage of freight and pas
sengers, as they pay in taxes for the
support of government, national, stats
and local?
That transportation affects the price
Of everything that everybody buys,
sells, eats, wears or uses in any way
whatever-air, water and sunshine ex.
cepted?
That cheap transportation benefits
both the producer and the consumer,
making wheat and cotton higher and
flour and cloth lower at one and the
same time?
That the cheapest known transpor-
tation is water transportation, costing,
on the average, from one-sixth to one
tenth as much as transportation by
rail?
That the direct saving on the goods
actually carried by water in the
United States is over $55O,000,000 a
year?
That railways always make lower
of waterways than where such compe-
tition does not exist?
That the indirect saving, thus
caused, is probably as large as the di-
rect saving given above?
That both the direct and indirect
saving would be largely increased by
the further Improvement of our water
ways?
That waterways always increase the
profits of the railways with which they
come into competition? For the rea-
son that waterways, by giving cheap
transportation for raw materials, actu-
ally create both industry and COM
merce? AS is indicated by the fact
That in 1900 there was only one city
In the United States, with a population
of 10000 or over, which was not To-
Gated on navigable waterway? And
further
How Frankfort Benefited.
That Frankfort, Germany, grew
more in the twenty years after the
River Main was canalized than it had
grown in the two hundred years be-
fore? And again
That Germany, which is nearly co.
900 square miles smaller than Texas,
but has one of the finest waterway
systems in the world, had in 1908
foreign commerce greater than that of
the United States by over $500,000,-
600?
That throughout the civilized world
the largest cities, the densest popula-
ton, the busiest and most prosperous
people are to be found along naviga-
BILE waterways?
That the surest and speediest way
to develop the resources of the nation
and every state and section thereof,
TO increase the growth of every city
and community in the country, to pro-
mote the prosperity of every interest,
including the railroads, and of every
citizen, east, west, north and south, is
to improve all our waterways as fast
and as far as we can?
That money used for the improve
ment of waterways, wisely planned
and honestly constructed, is not an
expenditure but an investment, which
will pay dividend of at least 100 per
cent year?

DIR. SCHARF.

HE appearance Of Dr. Emil L. Scharf of Wash
ington in this city seems TO have thrown
certain Democrats into conniptons They have
learned, some one has told them, that the
conner is special agent of the Republican head
quarters. We don't know and don't care whether
he is or is not.
If Dr.. Soharf wants to do legitimate political
work in Delaware, or in any other part of the
country, we see no particular objection Dr.
Scharf is q Doctor Of Philosophy, foreign degree,
true, and that ought TO commend him to various
persons, such as ministers who are fond of these
honors.
From a Democratic source it is stated that Dr.
Scharf is working in the Eleventh Ward and there
are hints that he is to SOW seeds Of Democratic
discord in that district among Polanders and
Others If So wonder the Hon William M
Connolly and the Hon. John j McCovern are dis
turbed. They have plenty OF trouble, sure enough
The doctor is said TO speak several languages
and 10 have an intimate acquaintance with othersN
He was, If we remember correctly very active in
the Consumers League which waged boycott
against meat until the league was consumed by
the trusts. At any rate the doctor is not going to
bite or harm anyone in Delaware so far as we
know
The Democratic newspaper is hoping that he will
escape the Federal court but really the Democrats
we presume would like to see him sent TO the
workhouse forthwith.
We must confess that glad that DR..
Scharf is among US, as the Democrats say he is
He is an advocate of reformed spelling and that is
a good point in his favor We hope he will toss re-
formed spelling and philosophy at the Democratic
moss backs who are suspicious of political strang-
ers. Our Democratic friends becoming very
pessimistc these days. DR.. Scharf might find re-
creation in discussing Schopenhauer with them
However we think that DR.. Scharfs real mis-
sion here is TO keep an eye on mysterious gold
Democrats who may send $4,000 satchels to Della
ware during the campaign.

LOOK TO SUSSEX NOW.

INES, politically speaking have changed, or
J. we might see some strange scenes IN Della
ware during the coming campaign No large sums
of money will be used 10 influence the election,
but if such sums had to be coected, we should ex-
-pect TO witness New Castle County men journeying
TO Sussex and passing around the hat, Tor the
wealth OF Delaware at present seems to be How
ing TO Sussex
In the days OF some years ago the Sussex lead
ers of both parties when they wanted a few dol
Il lars 10 make ends meet and TO call the birds
from the fence visited New Castle and with dole
full voice and long faces told tale of woe about
the need for money that would have made JOB
feel that he was happy man.
1t is a good thing for Sussex therefore, that
the old time plan of raising fund OF mountain
Gus proportions will not be followed Sussex al
ways was lucky and New Castle cannot turn the
tables on her.
Sussex. as we have said, seems TO be the land
of milk and honey and money, and in reality It is
the land Of good crops of fruits and everything
else and wealth has been rolling into Sussex at
a rapid rate. Many persons looked askanee az the
stories about the increasing prosperity OF Sussex
and thought they we're simply idle talk but the ae-
tua reports of the banks dspelled that notion. II
the good luck OF Sussex continues we presume that
all man will have TO do will be 10 plant straw
berry patch and II will produce golo ooiars IN
stead of luscious berries.
These stories of big crops have suggested the
thought that if the old political regime were in
force Sussex would be expected to shell out the
dollars as we'll corn and berries. But even with
these days departed, considerable money will be
needed for legitimate campaign expenses, and OF
course no true blue Sussex countian will come
to Wilmington with hand outstretched or stories
that the bank cashier gave an icy stare when
check of the campaign committee was presented
If any Sussex county politicians happen in viii
mineton this campaign and of course they are
alwsvs welcome, we shall be disappointed if they
do not hand out big sum for the State Com
mittee 1t may not be so large sum as the tapu-
lous amount contained in the mysterious Gold
Democratic satchel, the destination OF which was
never traced, but smaller figure might be thank
fully received.
II NAV be that New Castle men will journey to
Sussex and humby pass around the hat, in which
case the Hon Peter Punkins should produce part
of thar big check he got from his truck paton,
while Captain Samuel Strawberry of Selbyville Will
no doubt draw on his bank account for political
contribution and Professor Philander Potato will
also assist. At all events, any Sussex man this
year coming TO Wilmington hoping for big wad
wI be looked upon as eccentric. He should be
given time table for Farnhurst

Editorial Opinion
Orerworked.
Boston Post.

Boston Post
Word comes from Newport that
prominent summer residents = there
are suffering from nervous and ply
sical prostration. The members Of
the colony have been kept on the go
almost continually for the last month
with dinners and luncheons, parties
and other forms Of social gayety. The
result has been that a number of the
women and some of the men have
felt the strain. Several have tainted
during social entertainments, and in
one case a man and his wife have hur-
ried of to the mountains for rest
Let us hope they may get the needed
recuperation. But what is this as an
example OF holiday making? The val
ue of our New England summer re-
sorts is the relief which they offered
from the strenuous extertions of the
so-called social season here in town.
To overwork in the endeavor TO hnd
relaxation is a preposterous scheme.
Better let social gayety go and potter
around in bathing suits In the un-
fashionable colonies with which our
coast Is populated.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE.

HERE is likely TO be a lively fight among the
h Democrats over the congressional nomination.
Sussex is making all sorts of claims 10 the nomi-
nation and the lawyers want It, There may be
strong objection TO Sussex having the honor but
If not we are surprised that the name OF Dr. Roland
6. Paynter has not been mentioned We mention
it, hoping that such conduct will not arouse Demo-
cratic newspapers as they stirred by the tri-
butes to Deputy Attorney General Wocott, whose
mythical boom the Democratic newspapers have
placed in a refrigerator car, and If the car does
not 20 faster than the carrying Sussex county
fruit TO market 60 il will be late in arriving any
where.
Dr. Paynter escaped both the gubernatorial chair
and matrimony during the memorable campaign in
which he became favorably known to the people
of the entire State He may not escape the Demo
cratic Congressional nomination.
To be sure Kent has various congressional as
pirants tentative and otherwise, including habby
boom for the Hon. William Salisbury, but IT may
grow TO health

has his eye on the senatorial seat now held by

A Sum for Borrowers.

New York Evening Mail.
Many a young chap has found him
self in momentary need of funds. and
has borrowed MONEYS, for exam
ple-until the end Of the week from a
colleague in his shop or Office who
made a business of advancing loans,
or from a salary loan concern. Al
the end of the week he gave one dol
lar for the five as Interest to the
men who had accommodated" him,
and really felt that he had been ac-
commodated. IT, however. be gets
into the habit of borrowing ahead he
finds himself unable ever TO accumu-

that way Of doing business.

AUTOMOBILE TAXATION.

90 MUCH cannot be said in favor of a thor
ough and complete system of good roads in
Delaware Their value is perhaps being realized
now more than ever before.
The necessity for them and what a real benefit
will come to ALL especially the farmer and others
who must use the roads daily for business pur-
poses, is as yet not fully appreciated. True the
good roads already completed in New Castle and
Sussex counties have gone long way toward
teaching their real value The Journal believes
very much more progress could be made and pro-
gress of a substantial nature if the revenue from
Automobile Licenses we're devoted TO the roads
If the money derived from these licenses we're
wholly used on the roads considerable could be
done.
The Automobile Licenses and yearly tax could
we'll be doubled at least. The automobilists have
much use of the roads and The Journal feels con-
hdent would not place any hardship on any auto
mobile owner were the license and yearly tax at
least doubled if the provision we're made and
maintained that the money derived thereby be
spent in making new and improving old roads.
In return for this the old fashioned and out OF
date turn pixies with their annoying toll gates
might be abolished. With one exception in this
county the turnpkes are hardly worthy OF the
name and with this one exception IT seems like
an imposition TO collect toll
New Jersey has a splendid system OF good roads,
which we have been given TO understand is largely
due TO the higher automobile license and yearly
tax The next legislature should seriously consider
this matter and the farmers of the State should
urge good roads and higher automobile tax TO
help pay for them
Automobiles have come to stay They will in
crease in number in this State continually and
in the end both the good roads movement and those
who use them will be greatly benefited by higher
automobile tax without any one suffering.
AS was suggested recently, the money received
from this increase could be used TO pay the interest
on a large loan to complete State road from
Claymont to Rehoboth and Delmar.
