Win an increase OF 1881 IN ten
years, Delaware now has a population
Of 202,322, which does not seem to be
a very large number of persons, when
1t is considered that they are scattered
has two full-fiedged United States sen
ators. This would seem to give the
two hundred and two odd thousand Of
Delaware undue Importance. When
our system Of government was laid out
two United States senators were as
signed to each State, regardless Of their
varying population figures. But It is
doubtful If the builders of our govern
ment ever dreamed Of such discrepan-

Relatives of men who hunt deer In
the East are usually about as nervou
over the opening OF The deer season
as are parents of gridiron heroes about
the football season A revision OF the
deer-hunting rules for the protection
of guides and hunters would seem to
be absolutely essential If the game is

Russians at Port Arthur. The cards
are always stacked against students in
q government school in any little game
