The Clarinda Herald, a Re-
publican paper, has this to say
of the extravaganza of the gov
eminent:
Senator Aldrich is reported
to have asserted that if modern
methods were to be adopted by
the government in the admin
istration of the various depart
ments that there would be a sa
wing to the annual expenses Of
at least three hundred millions
Of dollars. Now if that is true,
and there can be little doubt
but that it is, what excuse can
there be for returning any man
to congress who has been there
for more than one term? And
why should not the people de-
mand the resignation of all such
old timers at Aldrich? The
men who have been there du-
ring the development of the
present system are the men
who are responsible for this ex-
travagant and really criminal
system of managing the affairs
of the government and they
should be held responsible for
it. 1t is simply a system of or
gained stealing from the peo-
pie and those who have made it
possible for the stealing to be
done are the really guilty ones
and should be punished for it.
Will there be any change in the
system? Hardly for the men
who are getting most of the pelf
are the toes who would have to

Rapid Army Mobilization.

The finest example of rapid organ
lzation of an army was certainly the
mobilization of the German army in
1870 On July II in that year the IA
nous telegram. the shortest and most
momentous ever dispatched. "Krieg.
MObil." went forth from the headquar-
ters at Berlin, and within a fortnight
an army OF 100000 men. fully uni
formed, equipped and provided with
commissariar, was on its way to the
French frontier. OF course it must be
remembered that all these men had
been previously warned and that all
had been through their period of mili-
tary training. Answers.

troubles like a philosopher, and with
high sense of personal honor labored
to pay what a man with less con-
science would have left unpaid
Posterity will be left to decide his
relative position in letters among the
humorists of English literature. 1t
is certain that his contemporary fame
abroad was equal to his fame at home.
All Europe recognized his genius, the
English people appreciated him at his
own worth, and the University of
Oxford honored him with a degree.
His writing commanded higher price

BIG CIRCUS IS COMING
Barnum & Bailey Show to Be Seen in
Wilmington, Friday, May I3

Announcement IS made that on
Friday, May 19, the Barnum and
Bailey Greatest Show on earth will
visit Wilmington. This is the best
news of the day to those who are
fond of the circus form of amuse-
ment. For fifty-five years this has
been the leading show of the world.
This year it comes forth with an en-
tire new equipment which cost the
management SO, 500, 900. The main
performance is given in three rings,
on two stages, on an immense Roman
race track and in the dome. The
climax of the programme is the ap-
palling performance of Desperate,
a mad Frenchman, who leaps from the
dome of the tent and lands on his
bare chest. Additional thrills are
given by Jupiter, a pure white Arabian
horse. 1t rides to the dome of the
tent in a ballon and descends amid
Niagara of exploding rockets and
fireworks Then there is Charlie the
First, a chimpansee, beyond all ques-
tion the most remarkable animal that
ever came to the notice of scientists.
He does an act on one of the stages
that is the wonder of the age. In
the menagerie is found the most re-
markable geological exhibit ever
seen outside of the interior of the
African jungle. 1t is Bumbino, the
first and only baby giraffe ever born
or exhibited in America. BumbinO
is only three feet tall, less than one
seventh of its mothers height. The
youngster is worth its wsight in
gold. On the list of performers are
the names of 400 of the worlds most
talented performers. The new pa
rade is a marvel of interest. 1t is a
panorama of a thousand wonders.
There are three miles of it. Here
is an opportunity for the people OF
Smyrna and vicinity to see the great
est circus ever organized. The rail
roads will lower the rates of fare
and special excursions will be run.

The appointment of Gov. Charles
E. Hughes as an associate justice of
the Supreme Court will be universally
approved as fitting recognition of
high attainments and notable public
service. Had the circumstances of
the appointment and the conditions
of its acceptance been such as to
compel immediate qualification the
people of New York would undoubted-
ly have witnessed the transfer with
reluctance and regret. Governor
Hughes is not to qualify until the Oc-
tober term of the Supreme Court be-
gins and he will be able to discharge
all the essential public duties of his
second term and to contribute power
fully to the perpetuation in the Re-
publican party of the leadership and
the ideas which his administration
has represented. His example will
remain as inspiration to high-mind-
ed effort, even though his activities
in State politics cease. His assign
ment to the Federal bench leaves
public life in New York and, indeed,
throughout the nation. poorer: for
he has impressed himself as deeply
on the imagination of the rest of the
country as he has on that of his own
State. But the Supreme Court will
gain a judge of unusual promise,
who, ascending the bench in the prime
of life may confidently be expected
to lead there a career of marked
influence, usefulness and distinction.

The special committee appointed
sometime ago at mass meeting of
the citizens of Smyrna is now
writing to secure q date to make
another visit to the Superin-
tendent of the Delaware Railroad
to take up the matter of better
train service on Smyrna Branch.
Disappointed at the little diminutive
trailer which has been added and see-
ing and feeling the need of a better
service, patrons of the line in Smyrna
and the whole vicinity, would welcome
the placing on of larger car whether
it be run by gasoline. motor or steam.
What the people want is service and
full and adequate service at that.

The general movement for a safer
and saner Fourth of July is growing
apace all over the country and al
ready ten of our big cities have taken
time by the forelock in adopting eff
fective measures. Let it be really
"the day we celebrate" with some
intelligent reference to the event it
commentaries, and not the day we
desecrate, with a senseless license
for a riot of gunpowder, such as an
nually makes it day to be looked
forward to with dread, and day to
look back upon with disgust by many
and with grief by some. AS the Mil
waukee Sentinel declares, the specific
thing everywhere needed is, of course,
the absolute prevention of the use of
positively dangerous firearms and fire
works, and effective regulation of the
use of the other kinds. In Connecticut
Governor Weeks is already urging for
the Fourth ga day of pleasure and
profit intsead of day of unrest and
horror. The latter expression is
not zoo strong. Last year our bed.

SALT WATER.
Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Ar Shallow.

Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those
That Ar Shallow.
The density Of sea water depends
upon the quantity Of saline matter II
contains. The proportion is generally
about or per cent, though 1t varies
In different places. The ocean con.
tains more salt in the southern than
In the northern hemisphere, and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa.
cifc. The greatest proportion Of salt
in the Pacific is in the parallels Of %
degrees north latitude and II degrees
south latitude. Near the equator it is
less, and in the polar seas 1t is least,
from the melting Of the ice.
The sadness varies with the seasons
in these regions, and the fresh water,
being lighter. IS uppermost. Rain
makes the surface OF the sen fresher
than the interior parts, and the influx
of rivers renders the ocean less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow, and inland seas COM
municating with the main are less salt.
from the rivers that how into them.
To this, however, the Mediterranean
is an exception. owing to great evap-
grafton and the influx of salt currents
from the Black sea and the Atlantic.
The water In the strait Of Gibraltar
at the depth of $40 fathoms Is four
times as salt as that at the surface
