INSURGENTS AND SOCIALISM.

a THOUGH throughout the east the political
N pot has not begun TO boil with any consd
cradle fury the campaign is practically under way
in the west II is the fashion for the leaders TO
speak at the Chsutauqua gatherings and even
Uncle Joe Cannon has bowed to the inevitable
Meetings are held at a lively rate.
Significant are some of the addresses of the
insurgent Republicans the leaders of whom by
the way have recently stated with emphasis that
they did not intend TO leave the Republican party,
but purposed 10 fight out their battles within the
party.
One Of the Iowa senators recently delivered an
address explaining the scope of the insurgent
movement which, as he said is designed to combat
the growing agitation about Socialism. During the
last session of Congress- Socialism in its various
aspects and phases was much discussed, not on the
~Roor OF either house but in the talks between the
members.
The Republican party in the near future, ae-
cordng to the Iowa senator, must face the PROB
lem OF Socialism, and the best way to meet II is to
do away with the evils as far as possible OF which
u the Socialists complain. These are embraced under
the whispered term Of special privilege and the
influence of wealth in legislation. Popularity speak
ing the enforcement Of the square deal idea would
be the best method of breaking the Socialism
movement The dissolving of monopolies ao-
cording 10 the western speaker would be a long
stride forward in the movement against Socialism
and the government regulation of public utilities
would be another step
Although Socialism has been much considered
of late the figures of the last election did not
show that il had increased TO any considerable ex-
tent In truth, the Socialists themselves we're dis
appointed with the returns. Probably not much
would have been heard of Socialism at this time
had not the party won the Milwaukee election.
According 10 all reports from Milwaukee the
administration of the Socialist Mayor Seide has
been very satisfactory so far But the party in
that city has been described more as a reform
movement than as the real Socalistic doctrine
which calls for the oonhscation Of public utilities
and in fact all property. The Socialist party may
be expected to grow largely in the course of time
but it will be years before il becomes menace TO
either of the other parties

SHORT MEAsTTRFs

II HAT form of swindling known as short meas.
i ures and short weights is being investigated
IN New York with the result that dealers who use
the short weights and measures are on the run
Five hundred short measures conhscated bv the
inspectors we're piled in heap at the New York
city hall the other day And il the measures were
labeled with the names Of the firms using them the
lesson would be very effective The short meas
ures are given as one Of the reasons for the high
cost of living.
Among other short measures It has been discov-
cred that New York dealers have been selling po-
tatoes in barrels that are not in accordance with
the requirements of the law. The commissioner
on examination learned that not single barrel
which comes into New York is Of the legal size A
barrel OF potatoes which should weigh accord
ing 10 the law ia pounds, tips the scales from
100 to l54 pounds. Not a barrel weighed by the
examiner reached the legal limit
Curiousy enough there is some objection to the
crusade OF weights and measures inspectors of New
York on the ground that the enforcement of the
law viii hurt business" but such talk should not
be permitted TO interfere with the activity of the
officials The rights of the purchasers should be
considered as well those of the sellers The
movement against the users of short weights and
measures is being waged in many cities and this
petty form of sv1ndling will ultimately be wiped
out

II Will be a splendid investment for
the state, and bring to the people OF
the counties an opportunity TO con-
struct cross country roads with this
great public highway at a minimum
cost. The present money paid to
each OF the counties for so called good
road building, but which in reality is
only a continued waste OF public
funds for temporary roads, will pay
the interest on several hundred dol
lnars worth Of the bonds alone. and
the public money would be expended
for actual permanent roads.
We state now, that the money given
from the state treasury Of Delaware
to the two lower counties of Della
ware for good roads, is wasted from
the object for which the law was
passed, and it is not fair to the people

ROUTING BUREAUCRATS.

IT HE administration is constantly making i'm
l. provements in the service at Washington
although little is heard of some Of them For ex-
ample, Mr.. Taft has been diligent in breaking up
the bureaucracies. One Of his latest acts is TO de-
stroy the system under which certain officers of
the marine corps held their desks for years. AL
most all the officers now subject TO assignment
by the commandant.
The bureaucrat who does not 60 TO sea, but sits
in his Office and develops a fine crop Of theories
which hamper the effectiveness of the naval de-
partment is becoming person Of the past.
And his fellow in the army is also disap-
pearing. Reform is making in all the departments
of the government service and the result will be
higher state of efficiency with less expense
When Mr. Taft became president one Of the
first Thugs he advocated was thorough investi-
cation of the departments of the government so
that there should be less waste
The ideas that Mr.. Taft holds in these matters
are applicable to state and municipal governments
as we'll as TO the Federal government States and
municipalities are constantly in need of more rev.
enue. Taxes in the natural order of progress must
become higher because the activity OF the State
and the municipal government is increasing The
great problem is how TO get the most in improve
ments outs OF the taxes paid. That question con-
fronts Wilmington today and is one Of the urgent
reasons why we should have new city charter

MORE HOGS AT LESSER COST

Apropos the coming Breakfast Ba
con- special train to Oskaloosa and
other towns along the Rock Island
1t is interesting to know that there
was a shortage of over FIVE million
hogs at the six chief packing centers
in 1903 and at the same points a
shortage of nearly three million hogs
for the first six months of 1910. These
figures furnish one answer TO the
query why the cost of living is high.
Viewing the matter from the stand.
point of the producer, Prof. H. NJ.
Cottrell, agricultural commissioner
for the Rock Island lines, says: The
and in the cost of feed necessitates
a radical change in methods of hog
raising If large profits are to be Sc
cured.
"The first essential for large profits
is prolific dams. Some sows have two
TO four pigs in a litter, other sows 5
to 10 pigs. 1t costs as much to keep
one SOW as the other, while the first
cost of the pigs is reduced one-half
with the prolific mother.
After a pig is born, he must be
given treatment that will keep him
alive and in a thrifty growing condi,
ton until he is ready for market
Most farmers lose before weaH g
time from one-third to two-thirds
pigs that are born. The average loss
for the corn belt is one-half. This
loss makes a deep cut in the profits.
The pigs must not be stunted at
weaving. The only way to prevent a
check at this time is to feed the pigs
either skim milk, tankage or dried
blood with other feeds, until their
stomachs become adapted to coarse
food.
Less corn must be fed. At the pres
ent price of grain, at least half the
weight Of a hog when marketed must
be made from roughaga. A hog
should have some grain every day of
his life after weaving. but from this
time until the finishing period the
daily ration of grain should be light.
An acre of alfalfa pasture will put
during the summer. from 500 to 1000
pounds gain on pigs. Ar acre If
clover is worth from one-half to two
thirds as much as alfalfa. An acre of
dwarf Essex rape sown early and pas
tured through the season will put
more gain on pigs than ton of corn
and the pigs gather it themselves.
