For thirty years the growers and
shippers of fruit from the Delaware
Peninsula have experienced about
the same conditions from year to
year, and suffered a loss in solid
cash each year by reason Of the late
arrival Of fruit trains in the great
city markets. Notwithstanding the
fruit growers pay a special high
freight rate for special fast freight
delivery, the trains during the short
peach season arrive frequently so
late as to practically lose the mar
ket for that day In the past there
has been no effort made to remedy
this trouble and rebate the loss to
the growers, on their part but, i
would seem to the layman that the
railroad. management would at
tempt to foster the business, and
enlarge its revenues, so that both
the carrier and the grower could
build up, rather than abandon the
business by reason ofits drawbacks. !
There is a remedy somewhere, and |
the sooner it is applied, the better
it will be for all concerned. As
matters now stand the growers Of
perishable fruits feel that they have
no outlet for certain delivery to the
great cities Of the north, unless
they add expense to their transpor-
tation accounts, by refrigeration, H
which leaves little encouragement
for them. Why is it that extra fast
freight service literally paid for,
'alls down so often, and always at
he cost Of the grower2 That is a
question which has been before the
,eOple Of this peninsula so long,
hat it is mOss-grown with old age. IN

FROM the much ado about the
possibility Of Deputy Attorney
General Josiah Wolcott being nom
mated for congress by the demo
Gratis, there must have been great
alarm in the inner circles of the
Democratic Organization, and a
genuine scare that plans being care
fully set up would be knocked into
a cooked hat. The democratic
papers all pat Walcott on the back
and the complimentary remarks 60
ing the rounds, would make pleas
ant reference in the future for him
TO keep in a scrap book. The
democratic party could, and prob
ably will, nominate a man with
less ability to fill the Office since
Mr.. Walcott has declined to let
his name be considered. The Kent
faction of the democratic party are
now framing up plan to place a
man from that county on the ticket, |
but the convention is yet to be held, |
and who can tell what cOmbina-
tons will be made in the meantime.

County Road Engineer Mustard,
Of Georgetown, has found so much
trouble in finding men to work on
the roads that he is advocating the
placing Of short term county pris-
Oners to work.
GOOD for County Engineer Mus
tard. Here is the proper solution
Of vexing problem, as to what we
shall do with prisoners who are
serving short terms in the county
jails. We firmly believe that pris-
oners should be made to work on
the public highways, even though
the cost Of getting the work from
them should exceed in a small way,
the practice Of keeping them in
idleness at a daily expense of thirty
cents per day, which is paid to the
Sheriff for feeding them. In the
past this was a source Of large rev
enue to the Sheriffs, and from It
thousands Of dollars found their
way to the bank accounts Of that
official, but the workhouse cut ser
ious inroads into this item; yet,
the short term prisoners number a
dozen or more, and they should be
made to at least repay part of their
keep-to the county, in work in the
public highways. Labor is scarce
and farmers find it difficult to spare
time to work on the roads, hence
he convict labor will come as a |
-elief to them, and at the same
ime, enable the public to get the
advantage Of better roads. Let the
prisoners be made to work on the
Dads.

PLOW TURNS 20 ACRES DAILY.

An innovation in agricultural method
in Caroline County, Nd, has been intro.
duced in Tuckahoe Neck by Aaron c
Reber, owner of the Emerson farm. on
the road between Denton and Hillsboro.
Mr. Reber brought from the West a steam
plow, with six shares, and drawn by 2O
horsepower engine, and this week plowed
large field of fallow land, which is to be
put in wheat this fall.
One Of the reasons leading Mr.. Reber
to adopt Dakota methods in MARYLAND
was that the drought has made the falow
land so dry that it was not thought exped-
lent 70 plow il with horses, as their
strength was not sufficient to turn the
heavy sod. The experimenter saws that
land plowed in such a dry con6ition is
more easily pulverized and more pro-
ductive than when turned in a wet state
By steam plowing, the six plows can turn
20 acres a day, while with horses the
average per plOw is not over two acres a
day. Three men operated the steam plow.
as against six required by the ordinary
plan.
Mr. Reber is a native Of Pennsylvania.

arm for 1900 1t was on this farm. in
he early sixties, that the first wheat |
machine operated by steam was
ised in that county. The late captain
Robert r. Emerson, then living on the
purchased the thrasher, and |

For down right lying, we com
mend the writer Of the editorial
columns of the Every Evening, Of
Wilmington, as a past master in
the art. In Wednesday evening S
issue Of that paper, appears an edi-
torial on the subject ofprinting the
pamphlet laws Of Delaware. which
was called forth by a comment Of a
Baltimore paper because Of the de-
lay in issuing the laws of Mary
land, as passed by the last legisla-
ture. The Every Evening in its
attempt to either be facetious, or
disparage the management of af-
fairs under Republican rule, stated
as a fact that a year often has clap
sed between the adjournment of
the legislature, and the publication
Of the laws. This has not occurred
in the past twelve years, even when
the work was done by a Democratic
printing Office. With two excep-
tions, the pamphlet laws of Della
ware have been printed by Demo
cratic Offices and the work was
awarded to them under competitive
bids, and the work even at the long
st period has never been over FIVE
months from the time the copy was
delivered to the printers, In one
when the laws were printed
~ this Office, and under the admin
stration Of DR.. c. R. Layton as
secretary Of State, they were printed
md issued in one hundred days
rom the time the copy was in hand.

THE TRAMP.

AS with the poor so with the tramp
we have them with us constantly.
And what to do with them when they
come to the back door for food and
money is problem that almost every
housewife has to meet many times in
the course of a year. Usually the
problem is met by giving the tramp
something to eat, and probably money
which generally finds it's way into tn
nearest saloon. That is an unsatis-
factory plan everyone admits, for
encourages idleness and aggravates
the evil. But in Germany they do
things better. The municipalities
gather in the tramps and make them
work. If a man reveals an unshaven
and unwashed appearance with other
evidences of being Weary Willie"
he is gathered in and, willy-nilly he
has to work. The plan seems to be
success for the army of tramps is
steadily decreasing. The municipali-
ties in this country might follom the
German method.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

Most anyone familiar with the
names and records of Idaho men
who have been more or less in the
pubic eye politically will be able, up
ON running his minds eye over the lis
to see that an cement, which in gen
eral way is opposed to all reforms, is
combined in this campaign against tn
reelection of Governor Brady. They
are birds of feather and they flock
together at this time. Whether it nc
liquor dealer who doesn't wish his
traffic to be interfered with; whether
it be a personal liberty man who
doesn't desire to have the influence
of evil habits curtailed; whether it be
a public man who is willing to cater
to the baser elements of society;
whether it be an official who is ready
to indulge in graft through the oppor-
tunities afforded by his position;
whether it be any kind of a person
who in any manner is pursuing
course which is in violation of any Of
the dictates of the moral law, he will
most likely be found numbered
among those desiring the defeat OF
Governor Brady
Those who are familiar with the
condition under which the contest
for the enactment of law for the
appointment of Carey Act commits
sion was fought and lost will recall
the names of some of those who were
most active in opposition to that bill.
Undoubtedly there were some good
people who engaged in such opposi-
ton for reason which seemed to them
to be good and sufficient, but there
were others, whose motives were
known at the time, who were actu-
ated by desire to retain an opportu-
nifty to benefit themselves.
One man in particular comes into
our mind in this connection who was
was very active and whose activity
attracted universal attention at the
State Capital. He is now one OF
the leaders in the oppositionu to the
denomination of the governor. He is
supporting Mr.. O'Neil and is leav-
ing no tone unturned to bring
about the latters nomination. We
think that every man who trains
with this individual leader that we
have mentioned is likewise opposing
the nomination of Governor Brady
They all flock together. Wherever
there men who are looking for oppor'
tunities to benefit themselves IT.
regularly, wherever there are men WI
desire to protect something which is
outlawed in good morals, there we
find active opposition to the govern
or in this contest. The birds of a
feather that flock together, we are
thankful to be able to say are not
sufficiently numerous to bring about
the object they seek to attain.

WHEN TO SOW WILD OATS.

A correspondent wrote an unidenti-
fed exchange to ask when is the best
time to sow wild oats. Here is what
the editor told him:
Well, teh best time is between
the ages of "a and 92. BY that time
mans ardor for cheap booze and
his longing to fill up have turned as
cod as pair of icy feet inserted in
the small of your backon Christmas
morning. When mans eyesight
fails so that he cannot see the cor
ner pocket or tell lady friend from
the night watch heought to sow hi
first crop, for one night out will curl
him up like runty pig with gas
tritis. The young man who thinks
he can drill in JUICY crop of wild
acts at 16 and cultivate it with four
full quarts per day, cheap calico and
striped deck until he is 30, will find
himself beating we'll worn path to
the inebriate home wheen he ought
to be doing mans work with an
honest wage. The platform lecture
who tells you at $25 per night and
the price of rump steak that
every boy must sow his wild oats"
is bigger mule than Balaam's colt,
who became angered with its mother
because she withheld the daily pabu-
lum and tried to kick the rim off the
milky way. A six ply drunk Is
about as good password to the
business community as a record for
housebreaking, and the callow youth
who goes to the mat with a half pint
of red EYE as a steady diet will be as
much as a favorite in the betting as
one legged man in hurdle race.
The boy who thinks more of tri'
weekly jag than he does of the feel
tngs OF a good father and mOtner mere
ly adds venom to memory that will
sting him until he cashes in. The
towns are full of young feeeeellows
towns are full of young fellows who
have gone up against the wild oats
proposition with the swagger of a pol
eyed pullet and who are as worthless
for work purposes as a club-footed
gelding If you are bound to set out
a good crop wait until you reach the
age when you have to take your teetf
out and clean them in the sink
out and clean them in the sink
while whistling softly through YOU
gums as you converse with yourvlove
ones.

No Chance for Him no Re.,.

Not long since in a village in the north of Scotland the parish minis ter meeting a farm servant who is a member of his flock. the following conversation ensued:
 Parish Minister-Well. John, and how are things doing with you' I hope you are keeping well.
 Farm Servant-Hech, sir, it's hard work I hae to do; nae rest from morn to nicht; work an work an no a minutes peace for me.
 Parish Minister-Well, John, we must all do our share in the work of this world. Remember, it is only the preparation for a better world, where there will be no more work to be done.
 Farm Servant-Weel, SIT, that may be for the likes O you; but I'm no sac sure that there will be naething for me to dae in the other world. It will be the same thing there, ard I'll be told, John, clean the sun; John, hang oot the moon; John, light the stars" and so on.

Sense and sensibility.

For some days the dining room had been disturbed by the invasion of the new boarder. She was fat, fifty, and very sentimental, and her tender ma ture led her to whisper so many rap turous condolences in her neighbor's ear that all the rest at the table felt uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, that one day after a harassed breakfast, the neighbor determined to make a struggle for liberty and general con- versation. Her opportunity came that night at dinner.
 Sweet flowers of spring!" murmur- ed the sentimentalist. apostrophizing the holding daffodil centerpiece. Aren't they dear? So full of poesy, And don't you think that we ought all ways to call them daffadowndillies in- stead of daffodils?" she whispered.
 NO, I don't" answered the neigh bor, uncompromisingly, and quite out loud. Just think how awkward it would have been for Wordsworth if he'd had to write:
 And then my heart with pleasure 6l-
 lies,
 And dances with the daffadowndil-
 lies.''
