DELAWARE mot LOST.

a WASHINGTON correspondent who has been
4 taking a snapshot of the political situa-
ton in many states concludes that Delaware is
as good as gone, meaning that the State and
Congressman and United States Senator are lost
20 the Republicans.
Some of the local Democrats whistle and chime
In with this view but they are little shakY about
II. They hope the Washington mans opinion is
correct but they really not sure about it no
matter what they may say.
The Washington view is based on the general
presumption that the drift this year is against
the Republicans throughout the country, but Of
late there has been something of change even
in this notion. And far as political history is
concerned there is no good reason for believing
that the drift in the country IL il be against the
Republicans, will materially affect Delaware. There
does not TO be the slightest probability that
former Attorney General White will talk OF fiddle
his way into Congress. The Democrats may have
q chance of securing the legislature, but if they
expect to win they will have TO travel at a liveer
pace than they have been doing.
IT the Democrats win the legislature, it will be
becausesthe Republicans have been negligent and
have not attended to the duties of the campaign
properly. II would really be almost a barren vic
rory for the Republicans to carry the State and
the counties and fail 10 control the legislature
The fate of the leader of the party is involved
in Me legislative contests and the Republicans
should bend every energy towards making the
victory complete. The State could not be served
better by a Democratic senator than il has been
by Senator DUPONT, and Republicans in every
legislative district should keep this fact in mind
md avert the blow that would be involved in the
oss OF the legislature and election of one of
The many Democratic aspirants for the United
States Senate.

DIR. WILSON LEARNING.

w HETHER he is elected Governor of New
w Jersey or not DR.. Woodrow Wilson will
have gained valuable experience as a result of
his campaign for that high honor. The Princeton
President is proving to be a very lively cam
paigner. He believes in meeting his opponents
face to face, and he has therefore challenged any
Of them TO meet him on the stump 10 discuss the
issues.
The doctor is learning much as he goes along.
He said recently that he once wrote a book on how
history should be written, but ~ ~''hsequently
learned that when he wrote history much of
his advice on how to do il was useless and could
not be followed. Perhaps he will find that some
of the theories of the bookmen when applied 10
practical politics are of little moment
The Princeton President is getting down to busi-
ness, and if he fails to be elected, il will not be
through any fault of his own
Speaking of general conditions Dr. Wilson be-
lieves that the progressive movements are going
to triumph in this country because they are for
the elevation of the people Although a Demo
crat perhaps he has the Republican progressves
in mind, for the Democrats have not shown extra
ordinary symptoms Of progress. In some states
they have been progressive, but in others, like
Delaware, they are distinctvely reactionary
AS result of his campaign Dr. Wilson will
have added much TO the nations store of political
discussion. His friends believe that he will be
elected. His opponents admit that he has a fight
ing chance, although New Jersey for some years
has been heavily Republican.
The vote for DR.. Wilson will show, however,
whether there is a deep-rooted prejudice among
the masses against the scholar in politics. There
ought not to be. There is no good reason why
scholar should not be better in politics than
so-called practical man.

Calls For Inheritance Tax.

! Baltimore American.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in an article in the
periodical with which he is associated
as contributing editor, remarks on the
respective merits of an income tax
and an inheritance tax and says: "A
moderate but progressive income tax,
carefully devised to fall genuinely on
those who ought to pay, would, l be-
lieve, be a good thing; but a heavy
and heavily progressive Inheritance
tax on great fortunes would be a far
better thing"
This sentiment is exactly in line
with the views of many advanced
thinkers upon one Of the most import
ant subjects of taxation. The quail
fications with which Mr.. Roosevelt
surrounds his Endorsement of an in
come tax rules it out of the reckon
ing. These exceptions, in fact, state
the very things that above all others
would make a federal income tax an
affiction to the nation The injustice
that would be worked by such a tax
should make It the very last reliance
of a party that sustains the position
of respecting the rights of the people
while providing the revenue for gov
ernment.
Mr.. Roosevelt has struck the key
note when he declares a heavy and
heavily progressive inheritance tax
would be far better. The thing that
is far better than something else rules
the something else out Of consideration.
1t is time for a reassertion of the
claims of an inheritance tax as one OF
the most progressive propositions OF
a progressive nationalism. Mr.. Roose-
Welt by his forceful advocacy will
strengthen the position of an inherit
ance tax. It is bound TO come.
