Presidents Canadian Policy.

"The Taft policy of Canadian reci-
procity may not be fully appreciated
by our own senator's, but its meaning
and consequences are fully recognized

dustrial captains have suddenly awak-

procity question! If they neglect to
act promptly it win be their last
chance, for Great Britain's eyer are
opened at last and she will now be
only too glad to respond favorably to
the advance of her greatest child, with
the result that the British empire will
become commercially yeagued against
us and, as we'll, commercially self
sufficient, having small demand for
American products..-M Mir
ror and Farmer
1t was only an accident of fate, a
caprice of circumstance, that prevent
ed Canada and the United States from
being one common nation in the first
place. There is no logic of historical
events, let alone any logic in the ma
terial and social conditions and rela-
tions of the two peoples, that ordains
the political or commercial separation
Of Canadians and Americans for the
good OF each and benefit of the whole.
On the contrary, every instinct of
trade, every aspiration of continental
society unity, every hope and ambition
that make a people of common origin
and common destiny share in their
views Of political economy as in things
else, point to the conclusion that only

Winooski,s Responsibility.

The repeated murders for which the
colored soldiers, stationed at Fort Ethan
Allen, are responsible, are rapidly giving
Winooski an unenviabfe reputation. It
viii soon be 30 that an ordinary citi-
zen will hesitate to travel Winooski
streets for fear a stray bullet from a

end his career, The fact that the bull

lover or for fellow soldier. who had
aroused the jealousy of the man with
the gun, would not help the victim or
lessen the grief Of his family or the loss
TO the community.
Thus far the shootings and Standings
that have taken place have been con.
fined to the colored soldiers themselves
or to the easy yirtued colored women
who seem to be growing in numbers
so rapidly as to I've a nuisance il not
menace to the community. An ir-
responsible man, white or black, mad
with jealousy or rum and armed with
a gun, is liable to do anything. If
things are allowed to 90 on as they
have, the ready gun of some soldier is
sure to find victim in the body Of
some innocent and moffending citizen
In any event the oft recurring crimes
tend to arouse uneasiness and fear.
II is becoming quite apparent that
the authorities of Winoosk have a grave
responsibility on them in the regulation
of the women who are gathering in all
parts of the town and the approaches
to the fort They have been the cause
of nearly all the crimes that have thus
far been committed and the end is not

All Clerks of public schools should
keep in mind the fact that two

for the County, and the other copy
be delivered to the Secretary of
State Board of Education, Dover,

of the District car legally pay to the
teacher the last months salary of
the school year. Unless a certificate

the State Auditor will not have
authority to allow the months sala-
ry so paid as credit at the annual
settlement in July and August. -

LEIPSIC BOAT FOUNDERED

William Jones and Ray Slaughter Have
Rough Experience in Gale
Leipsic. April 4.-Beating down
the Jersey coast, on its way from
Wilmington, where she had dis
charged a cargo of oysters at the
Church street wharf, the two-mast
schooner Howard Taylor, owned by
William Jones and Roy Slaughter of
Leipsic, was struck by a violent gale
between Pennsville and Church Land
ing, N. j., shortly after noon on
Thursday, and in very short order
keeled over and sank to the bottom
of the Delaware. Jones and
Slaughter were rescued from a
watery grave by the presence of
mind and ready action of Captain
English, of Wilmington, who was
cruising in the neighborhood with
his launch Rambler AS soon as
the two fishermen struck the water
they saw the predicament they were
in and yelled to Captain English for
help. The ready-minded captain
threw the bow of his craft around
and speeded for the scene of the
accident. With little trouble, hs
pulled the two men dripping ant
shivering over the side of the boat.
The "Rambler" then proceeded OF
her way to Penn's Grove, remaining
there until the next morning. Jone
and Slaughter went over on tn
Ulrica, evidently none the wors
for their unpleasant experience
The men could not accurately esti
mate their loss, but said that
would be considerable as the boa
was in good condition and had o
board most of their personal prop
erty, including about $50 IN cash an
, other valuables.

GREAT CONTEST Of
STARS NEWSBOYS

The newsboys of The Star are now
in the whirl of their contest for the
fine bicycle and other prizes put up
for them.
The announcement concerning this
contest was made last Thursday, and
the boys got away the same day
Friday and Saturday were strenuous
days, the boys selling out the issue
OF the paper completely on the form
er and extra copies being required for
the Saturday edition. This number
was further increased on Monday, and
the contest has only begun.
Most Of the Stars boys got away
on an even basis in the contest, they
having qualified" for the competition
in try-out race. Those who failed to
start even have been classified in
such a way that every little man will
have a chance of annexing one of the
prizes.
The prizes put up by The Star for
this contest are:
First, fine Sterling bicycle;
Second, a suit of Sunday" clothes
Third, pair of boxing gloves
The contest will be over a period
Of two months, or, to be exact, from
February 16 to April 16 This is a
very short time, and the victors in
the great race will soon be known.
The competition is between the boys
who sell the paper on the streets. It
is these little merchants who must
lead all newspaper boys in thrift and
efforts to please the public, and the
reward will be all theirs, this time.
