CHAMBERS PAROLED
BY HAMILTON
Young Man Serving One Year Sent

Under New Statute.

Irwin Chambers, serving one year
sentence in the Lee county jail here
for participating in the robbery of the
Casey brothers on the Hilton road dur
ing the summer. was paroled by Judge
w. S. Hamilton Saturday under author
ity of statute enacted by the last
general assembly of Iowa. The statute
in question gives the judge this new
power in cases of persons serving sen
fences for their first conviction Of a
felony, providing they are between the
ages of sixteen and under forty-fve.
Upon being paroled the person is
placed in the cutody or guardianship

Rank MaterlaIlsts.

In their outlook on life most Chi
nese are rank materialists, says
writer in the Century. They ply the
stranger with questions as to his in
come, his means, the cost of his be-
longings. They cannily offer paper
money instead of real money at the
graves of their dead, and sacrifice pa
per images of the valuables that once
were burned in the funeral pyre
Yet no one who comes into Close
touch with the Chinese deems THIS
utilitarianism race trait. They are,
in fact. capable of the highest Ideal
ism. Among the few who have come
near to the thought of Buddha OF
Jesus one finds faces saintlike in their
depth OF spirituality. The material
ism is imposed by hard economic
conditions. 1t is the product OF an
age long anxiety about tomorrow's
rice and is not to be counteracted
by the influence OF the petty
lift them above sordid anxieties.

FRUIT JUICES.

VNIE PRINTED in the issue of Yesterdays letter
w written by Mr.. Horace F. Clark, of Dover,
which was very interesting to us Mr.. Clark wrote
of Delaware as a fruit juice center" and men
toned the fact that il is proposed to organize a
company at Dover to manufacture fruit juices.
The advantages in making fruit juices in such To-
cation are obvious.
Mr.. Clark points out that Delaware strawberry
growers ship carloads Of fruit TO the juice making
houses at Rochester N. Y, and he thinks that such
juices could be manufactured right in Delaware
the base of supplies. II is this principle
that the cotton factories have been established in
the South, some of which pay enormous dividends.
II is also noted that New York grape producers,
some of them admit that Delaware is better
locality for growing grapes than the Chsutauqua
district of New York. There is no reason there
fore. why superior grape products could not be
manufactured in this State. In truth il has been
demonstrated that grape juice can be msnufactur-
ed in Kent county near the home Of Mr.. Clark
which is superior 10 any other grape juice on the
market
Such manufacture Of grape juice was started in
a small way by few gentlemen near Smyrna and
experts pronounced il TO be superior to any other
grape juice that they had seen. We know that in
one instance a representative of another grape
juice concern admitted that his product was not
so good as that Of Delaware make Here in Viii
mington there IS a concern which for years has
manufactured very fine quality Of fruit juices
We are glad that Mr.. Clark has shown interest in
this matter which impels him 10 write about it.
There is surely field of wide opportunity open 70
Delawareans if they only will grasp it, All kinds
of fruit juices should he manufactured in the lower
counties Of this State. Delaware could easily forge
to the front
The Dover Board Of Trade is showing much &C
tivity in considering matters Of this nature The
Dover Board has many things that ought to he
considered that perhaps It is difficult TO tell where
to begin But if the proper energy is exerted to-
wards establishing such industries as that Mr.
Clark has spoken Of Dover, when the next census
is taken, should he city Of more than 10000
population AS we have often said, the future of
Delaware towns depends upon the activity and
energy of their people We don't appreciate the
acres OF diamonds that are at our doors. There
is an unlimited opportunity for the development
of Delaware. We should get a move on" our
selves. There should be no serious obstacle to the
forming Of a company in Dover for the manufac-
ture of fruit juices. If fruit can be sent to fac
tories in far away Rochester NJ Y, it ought to be
perfectly clear that fruit juices can be manufac-
tured where the fruit is grown

Kansas City Star.
II is not beyond the range Of proba-
bility that the statute made and pro
vided for the suppression of gambling
may he invoked some day against the
horticulturist who deals in peaches.
Compared with raising peaches, Monte
Carlo is p legitimate business enter
prise and Beard monte, faro and the
shell game are sure things.
Peach growers should be classed
among those sainted ones who seek
the worlds good and happiness rather
than their own aggrandizement The
time will come when all peach or
chards will be endowed, like New
Theatres and the University of Chi
cago.
The sin Of aoquisitiveness cannot
be laid mp against the peach grower.
No man who seeks only wealth would
engage in such a hazardous enter
prise. The peach crop is more fragile
than a politicians honor. Peril and
pestilence encompass It round about
Danger besets It at every turn and
destruction is its handmaiden. The
bitter cold of winter lies in wait for
the slumbering buds; and n the deli
cate. shrinking things escape the zero
blasts and bestow their beauty and
their fragrance on a premature spring
there are the frosts and cold waves
Of a stubborn winter to chill them
and dash the hopes Of the orchardist
Even supposing that by means Of
hot water bags and warm bricks and
firepots the buds burst forth and
thrive and drop their petals and leave
little peaches Of an emerald hue, there
are worms 10 feed on them and boys
10 steal them ere the harvest Is ripe
and the summer is ended
But finally the frosts are left be-
hind. the worm feeds not in the bud.
the breezes breathe not too urgently,
hail-stones do not bruise and crush.
the blight comes not and the birds do
not feast upon them. and the peaches
hang large and ripe and luscious,
their satiny skin sunkissed TO the
tint OF childhoods cheeks. Then the
orchardist walks among his trees,
looks fondly on the branches break
ing under their burden of golden
fruit. and he sighs because he knows
peaches are so plentiful and so cheap

IN PRAISE OF
BALANCE
BY The REV. r. L. JACKSON

The man who Is both erratic and
ordinary is regarded as heavily handi-
capped in life's race. Nature, we say.
has played a cruel trick on him He
is universally pitied, But let him be
endowed with genius and he can he as
erratic as he pleases. The world
gives him the center of the stage and
pours around him a food of lime light.
There is no denying that eccentric
geniuses are interesting and what is
more enjoyable, but for the most part
only as an occasional relish. AS a
steady diet they are impossible. A
woman may enjoy the honor of being
the wife of one of these uncommon,
incalculable mortals, but she pays
dear price for the distinction. For
daily dealings and unceasing intim-
acy. give us the man with more ball
snce and less brilliancy.
The wise business man wants for
partner the man with a level head.
He does not object 10 clerverness, but
he does demand soundness of judg-
ment The wise parent wants as an
instructor for his son a man Of emil
nent sense. Let him be a man Of
phenomenal mind, only let his lucid
intervals follow one another in un-
broken succession. The wise church
wants for its minister a man who Ia
not easily thrown off his peise II
has little use for scintillatsous nom
sense.
The accent OF the age is upon the
outre. Men are aiming after the odd
and eccentric, for nothing else seems
able to arrest the general attention.
Is il any wonder that insanity is on
the increase, with all this riot of the
erratic. in dress. speech. manners and
morals? This is no plea for tame
ness. staleness or insipidlty. II IA
simply a call for little more level
headedness. tt sorely needed every
where. in business. literature, art.
education and last but not least, re-
ligion.

SOCIALISTS IN POLITICS.

Il ETURNS from the Western town elections
show that the Socialists are beginning to cut
no small figure in politics. To he sure their vote
fell of some $1,000 at the Milwaukee school cleo
ton as compared with the vote for Seidel when
chosen Mayor. But in some Kansas and other
Western cities the Socialists poiled a heavy vote
and IN instances won the elections
The campaign Of the Socialists which thew are
pushing with great energy BY means Of public
speakers and newspapers, is having effect When
there are two great parties, like the Republican
and the Democratic, the natural course Il would
seem for dissatisfied Republican would he 20
vote the Democratic ticket, and for dissatisfied
Democrat to vote the Republican ticket But in
many places this course is not pursued The dis

Years ago in the Western States they went to
the Popust party The Democratic name had no
charms for them. Past affiliations and prcjudices
make men jump TO third party in many instances
and the Socialist party is filling the gap caused
by the disappearing Of the Populists Time alone
will tell whether the Socialist party will he more
permanent than the Popuiist

PLEA FOR THE
CITY BEAUTIFUL

Editor Of THE Evening JoITRNAT.
city Beautiful"
These words could be read IN all
me newspapers last summer, and the
euslce on how to heautify empty and
torlorn looking places was explicitly
gwen. great deal was done along
this line, and It was a pleasure to see
now empty lots and places we're
changed into green gardens. But
there are many things vet 10 be done
For instance, people should be com
PEELED TO cover their garbage cans. as
this Is an attraction for thousands of
nies. and then besides the smell Of
rotten garbage is so bad that I'm tho
summer time II is impossible to sleen
IN any OF the rooms in the back part
ot the house on account OF the odors
that arise from this nuisance.
Fhen, another instance A few days
ago there was an article in one Of
me the city newspapers about the
Noises NJ Wilmington I'm which was
said something about the noise Of the
cars, etc, but there are lots of other
noises Just as disturbing as cars.
The raising Of chickens within the
CITY limits has become a nuisance
something should be done about bsv-
ing so many chicken houses in the
city Of Wilmington. Chickens are
considered as quiet. harmless craa-
lures, nut the noise Of the roosters at
an honrs OF the night is almost un-
nearaole. The noise OF these roosters
IS so loud and disturbing that
one can hardly sleep: because
as soon as one starts, the rest
all seem to answer, and certainly this
is a nuisance to the people that work
all day and cannot sleep or rest ar
night for such noises. To some strong.
healthy people this noise might seem
like music after they have had a good
nights sleep. but for the sick, nerv-

THE DOOM OF DEATH

a CCORDING to the report of the proceedings
before the Board of Pardons Deputy Attor-
ney General Woleott thinks that the health of John
Goodwin, who is confined in the Workhouse, might
be improved if he we're given outdoor work. Had
the Workhouse authorities done some time ago
what Mr. wolcott now suggests, perhaps Goodwin
would not now be in peril of tuberculosis
When the matter up before, The Journal
called attention TO the condition of Godwin's
health, but at once there was furore of contra
diction, an uproar of noise marked by the vicious
vengeance that has pursued this unfortunate man
ever since his commitment. Goodwin at that time
pleaded with those persons who happened TO see
him that they their influence 10 have him given
work on the outside, work that has been given
other prisoners.
The authorities, however, perhaps feared that
IT they showed any consideration to Goodwin
those persons who have displayed no humanity
or charity towards Goodwin would cry that he was
favored because of his alleged political influence
AS the matter now stands Goodwin has served
one year in prison punishment for an offence
for which others have been punished bv the mposi-
ton OF fines Not only has he suffered this nrison
punishment, but two doctors say he has de-
veloped tubercuar gland although he was alb
solutey free from any tuherculsr trouble when
he was sent 70 the Workhouse If he stavs Longer
IN confinement other glands will develop. and il
VIII be doubtful If he could ever regain his health
the two physicians say
We don't think that Goodwin is in frame Of
mind to bother about the restoration of his cti-
zenship which some seem TO think might be
taken as a vindcation of him and an admission
that he should not have been punished Goodwin
has had his bad points but he has had his good
ones lie was punished for offence which if
reports are true has been committed time and
time again by others We don't saw that heeause
others escaped Goodwin should have escaped. but
we do say that the punishment for this offence did
not contemplate prolonged imprisonment with
the probable fastening upon the victim of a fatal
disease 'a''
however me Board has pursued proper course
IN the matter and as there seems 10 he so,e dob.
about his actual condition, the two musicians

cans should examine Goodwin If necessary.

GUS and troubled people that cannot
sleep until the early morning hours
IL is enough to set them crazy.
Why must so many chickens be kent
in the city. when one can get fresh
eggs at any time7 And another
thing-the dirt and smell Of these
chickens houses. Every one seems
wise enough to build his chicken or
pigeon house as far away from his
own home as he can, but nine out Of
every ten puts il rihtg in front of his
neighbor's door. Then when the warm
days come and these places begin TO
thaw they throw or wash most Of
that dirt out on the side streets to lay
there and smell. In some cases ~ is
put in the ash barrel and the men who
collect these ashes have the trouble
of taking II way. And the city has
to pay for all this.
The writer thinks there should be q
law made regarding the distance such
houses must be built from the homes
of people, or there should be tax
laid for certain number of chickens
or pigeons that would not make the
people so anxious to have them in this
city
Something should be done for these
above named nuisances, as they have
been going along for quite a number
of years. Thanking you for the space

W Mr. Peter Ford which we printed the other

he is 10 be mere onlooker during the coming
municipal campaign so far as the nomination of a
Democratic candidate for Mayor is concerned Mr.
Ford says that he is not behind movement to
bring out Mr. Robert Pennington as a candidate for
Mayor and he adds that he is not advocating Mr.
Pennington or any other candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination He desires us TO make it
known in order that the friends of both Mr. PEN
ington and Mr.. Ford may not be made TO suffer
by a statement which is not founded on fact
The Journal doesn't want any one TO suffer and
certainly not Mr.. Ford or Mr.. Pennington. We have
always regarded Mr. Pennington pretty good
sort of man and we should think he would be fort
unate in having leader like Mr.. Ford giving him
support We hardly think that Mr. Ford would
suffer by advocating such a man as Mr.. Pennington.
However, we gladly set Mr. Ford and Mr. Penng
ton straight
Mr. Peningtons boom set going in so skill
ful manner, and his plain and direct statement
shows that he has such good political fighting blood
in him that we assumed some sdroit leader like Mr.
Ford was behind him. Of course what we said
about the matter was based on current gossip.
But according TO Mr.. Ford's letter he is to sit
quietly by and the lawyer and the doctor will bat
tle without stirring Mr. Ford Then Mr. Murphy
will not engage in combat with Mr. Ford? But it
is hard TO believe that Mr. Ford is out of H. We
are shocked. Democratic politics would be very
dull indeed with Mr.. Ford on the shelf We have
been writing about Mr. Ford's triumphs in Demo
cratic politics for many years. Does he want us

The Parcels Post.
Chicago Tribune.
The United States-or perhaps one
should say Congress-has the queer
notion that a thing may be an inter-
I national blessing and national mis-
fortune. That is irrational, but it
keeps us from having the parcels post
at home. II an American wishes to
send through the mails an eleven
pound parcel at a moderate rate per
pound he must leave the country to
do it, He must go to some one Of
the countries with which there Is a
parcels post nvention-Mexico, for
( instance.
There are now forty-one of these
parcels post conventions. The last of
them was with Haiti. II was conclud-
ed last week after several years Of
negotiation. The Postmaster General
was finally able to persuade the rath-
er unprogressive and unenlightened
Government of that dark country Of
the advantages of the parcels post.
Strangely enough, he has not been
able to persuade Congress 70 permit
him to make a trial of it on a small
scale in this country. One might
draw from that a conclusion unfavor-
! able 10 the intelligence Of Congress
/ Il does seem odd that II should re-
! fuse to grant to the white men of the
United States facilities which n al

I tend TO the colored men o Hsfiti.
We now have parcels post conven-
tions with about all the civilized and
quasi-civilized nations of the globe,
and yet persist in denying to Ameri-
cans AZ home the facilities which are
enjoyed by them when they leave the
