The bill contemplates control over all corpora

would require as a condition of engaging in inter
state trade that such corporations should be regis
tered by the commission, after making such salts
factory statements as may be required Then they
may be known as United States registered" cor
porauons. Small corporations may come in vol
unfairly
The Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust decisions
demonstrate that there is need of an independent
administrative tribunal for the continuous control
OF the big corporations" Newlands says. "The re-
cent expressions of Mr. Gary would indicate that
the trust managers are now seeing a new light

reluctantly realized that public regulation is in
ewtable IT not desirable The report on the steel
industry emphasized the necessity of such a regu-

A New England farmer noted for
his uncontrolled temper, attended a
religious revival in the neighborhood

A month later he was holding forth
to a number Of friends and relatives
gathered at the Thanksgiving dinner
table on the subject of his religious
principles. his entire change of char
acter and his kind and forbearing dis
position. Finally, growing enthusi-
astic in his description, he called on
his wife to uphold his assertions.

had an unkind word or deed from me

There was a dead silence; then

THE NEXT SENATOR.

II HE JOURNALS S local story that Senator Rich
l. ardson might again enter the race for United
States Senator has caused considerable interest,
especially in the lower part of Delaware, and as
some political prophets say, there is a prospect
that the fur will fly during the next camagn.
Some persons have assumed that Mr.. Richardson
would retire from the race, but there seems to be
nothing substantial on which to base that view.
According TO all reports Mr. Richardson has been
getting along very we'll in Washington, and the
NATURAL thing would be for him TO be a candidate
for reelection. If he should decide to enter the
race again, it goes without saying that he would be
a formidable candidate.
There is no valid reason why others should not
aspire to be Senator Certainly the holding Of
such position is something honorable and highly
desirable for any man in politics. and therefore
there is nothing odd in the mention Of the name
Of Governor Pennewill in connection with the place
The Governor has had a remarkably successful po-
litical career
Ever since the last campaign a group of Re
publicans headed by the Sussex Republican, have
been trying to kick up a rumpus in Sussex and
# there is anything behind their dissatisfaction

Brexler or DR.. Layton or Colonel Houston him

dupont is watching the play of politics with in
terest The mention of the name of Mr. Alfred
J. DUPONT is a revival of the talk that centered in
Dover at the time there was hurry-up reelection
of Colonel DUPONT. Yet there is no reasonable in
dloation that Mr.. Alfred L. DUPONT is really inter
ested In fact judging by the admirable address
he delivered on the occasion of the presentation
to him of a loving cup by DUPONT employees. Mr.
Alfred ]. DUPONT has not the slightest political
ambition, but rather deprecates political honors
and wrangles Doubtless there are those in the
lower counties who would like Mr. dupont 70
finance campaign, but the day may come
IN Delaware when the ability to finance cam
paign will not be the chief thought in connection
with senatorial honors
If a lively contest should develop we fancy
that the Republicans of New Castle county would
keep hands of, and the next Senator would be
the man chosen by the members from Kent and
Sussex. That has been the custom in Delaware
something be hard to break II prevails in aft
our politics of both parties-county considera-
tions-and yet there is no good reason why county
lines should not be broken in these matters II

FEWER SUICIDES THIS WEAR.

The Spectator" for this month has
an article on suicides. written by
Frederick L. Hoffman, of this city.
In one table Mr. Hoffman gives a
list Of one hundred cities in the United
States and the number of suicides in
each from 1900 to 1909, and for 1910.
Wilmington is noted as having had 70
suicides from 1900 to 1909, and dur
ing 1910 The number for this city
is given as at the rate Of 90 per 100
600 of population. OF the one hundred
cities noted only thirty-seven show
fewer suicides than Wilmington. New
port, r. l., and Gloucester, Mass, are
the only towns in the lost that did
not record a suicide last year. New
York-Manhattan, Bronx and Brook

GREASEWOOD THE BEST FEED

Two big wagons loaded to the
sky. line with boxed comb honey,
forming a carload shipment consign-
ed by F. A. Harrigan of this place
to Seattle going down Main street
the other day { on its way to the
depot. made patent the fact that
Fallon produces some other things
beside alfalfa and prize spuds.
There are four men in the valley
who make speciality of the bee
business-F. A. Harrigan. j. H.
Miller and E. G. Norton of this
place and Rudolph Miller of Fern
ley, and altogether they have
something like 1900 stands of bees
and an annual output of over three
carloads. And it is the kind of
honey that the buyers eagerly seek
and for which they are willing to
pay top-notch prices. All of these
apiarists ship the comb honey ex-
cept Mr.. Norton. He markets the
extracted product.
One surprising fact about the
bee bust ness was brought out in
talk with Mr.. Harrigan the other
day. He stated that greasewo God.
the ignoble and ignored outcast of
the plains, affords the finest bee
feed known. Its blossoms produce
the finest favored honey on the
market. After this comes alfalfa
and sweet clover" he remarked.
He emphasized the fact that there
was just about enough feed in the
valley for the bees new here.
But Fallon honey" observed
Mr.. Harrigan, "has the call on the
market. Every year the buyers
are willing to pay more for it. -

MOUNTAIN TUMBLES DOWN

A San Bernardino dispatch of
the LIST says:
To have the whole top of
mountain come tumbling down
upon them while they were peace
fully enjoying the eventide in
their mining cabin home was the
experience Of William l.. Holbrook
and his brother, Harold, in the
San Bernardino range yesterday.
William Holbrook, the elder Of
the brothers, arrived here today,
bringing Harold with him for
surgical attention. The younger
Holbrookwas buried in the mass of
earth, and was dug out after two
hours hard work. He was badly
injured, but his worst ailment,
physicians declare, seemed to be
The shock he received. He is
bordering on nervous pIostration.
Holbrook, in explaining his
experience, said.
II thought the world was com
ing to an end. A mount in
thunder storm was raging above
us and &c could see the flashes of
lightning. Suddenly bolt of
lightning struck the peak Of
Copper mountain. So hard was
the impact that an old abandoned
powder chamber in one of the
tunnels of the peak exploded.
The shock caused thousands of
tons of earth to shift and the whole
topography Of the mountain WIS
changed. The earth was split open
from the tunnel to the main shaft
and even the ground where the su-
pcrintcndcnt's cabin stood gave
way.
The lightning turned the hcav-
ems into a lurid vista Of fire and as
the storm increased the peaIs' of
ligh ming were terrific. Suddenly
with mighty roar the whole too
of the mountain rame tumbling
down upon our camp. My brother
was caught and covered up but
managed to get out. A few yards
from us a great chdsm opened in
the earth and two of the smaller
Buildings dropped into this hole"

GUARDING S. P. TRACK

A Santa Barbara dispatch says
tn at more than four hundred men,
according to advice received here
today. are patroling the Southern
Pacific track between San Francisco
and Los Angeles for the purpose of
preventing attempts to destroy
property and lives by the use of
dynamite. The company has prac-
tic; l'y one man for every mile on
the coast division, with particular
care being taken on that section
between Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo. The action Of the
railroad follows the two attempts
within two weeks to wreck trains
without twenty-five miles If Santa
Barbara.
The first attempt was made at Ell
Captain, being few hours before
the presidential train passed over
it, and the second on last Thu. sday
night. when seventy-hve sticks of
dynmite were placed in the frogs
of switches Elwood station. The
dynamiters have been so bold of
late that the railroad has placed
the army of track walkers o. duty
for the protection of the lives of
the travelling public.
