EMINENT AND JEWELLERS.

Charles Taylor, negro hacknan,
was arrested last night on several
charges as the result of an alteration
which he had with a negro named
Richard Robinson, during which he
shot at Robinson, but the shot went
wild. However, the shooting caused
some excitement, occurring near the
corner of Government and DeViIliers
streets and happening early in the
night, as it did. The trouble occurred
between and 9 O'Clock and Taylor
was arrested a short time later by
Officer Hoffman, the negro at whom he
shot having made an affidavit against

The Middleinan

the last year President Taft now tells
US that ne Is working out a scheme to
eliminate the middleman. Admitting
that this middleman is undesirable in
some cases-not SO much the middle

cannot help but realize the fact that
there must be middleman. even if
Mr. Taft has gone after his scalp.
The opponents of the parnAls most
claim that it will make the middleman
impossible and that the whole country
will be buyers from a big commissarv

never could be made possible. even if

Enthusiastically there are too many
middlemen for the good of what we
term the ultimate consumer and nat

nate some of these middlemen who
are making the necessities OF life cost
more than they should, bat there is a

producer and the consumer.
It would be more becoming in the
president If he would consider the
elimination of the high tariff which
he promised the people he would do,
and for which the people are now
clamoring. He might even interest
himself in the department of agricui-
ture where Solicitor McCabe and Sec
rotary Wilson operate against the
wishes of the public. and leave the
problem of the middleman to the
coming generations.
There has never been any attempt
made to entirely eliminate the middle

ant questions before the public mind
now for him to be springing anything
new to try to detract attention from
the vital questions which he and his
party have either lodged or cannot
satisfactorily explain to the people.

ELECTTNC NATIONAL DELEGATES.

THE next national political conventions to
l. nominate candidates for President will be
somewhat different from those of the past in that
the delegates representing FIVE states will have
been chosen by a direct vote Of the people and
not by state convention.
In North Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska Oregon
and New Jersey-and il looks queer to see New
Jersey in the list-primaries will be held next
spring at which delegates will be chosen repre-
senting the various asprants for the presidential
nomination.
The people in the different parties, in other
words, will express their preference for the pres
idental nominee of their party.
This method of nominating a presidential can
didate is an Innovation which will be watched with
much concern by political leaders. 1t is based on
the theory that the people at large should nom-
nate their candidates for president directly with
out the interference of state convention or the
dictation of leaders. The direct nomination idea
originated in Oregon and laws passed by the other
states establishing il we're modelled after the Ore
gon law
The primaries may have a pronounced effect
upon the national conventions as showing the
strength Of the various candidates among the
people, and some believe the candidates will be Sc
lected as a result of the test vote because OF the
influence the primary vote will have upon the dele
gates representing other states.
1t is also believed that the delegates from the

In New Jersey the friends OF Governor Wilson
favored the direct plan, doubtless believing that
in state convention owing to the manipulation
of the organization, Wilson would be unable TO
secure the delegates from his own state The
strength of the Governor as an aspirant for the
presidential nomination under the plan will
be tested among the people Of his own state

PEOPLES COLUMN
THE STEEL TRUST.

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The Morning News cannot see that
the Steel Trust has been guilty of any
thing worse than being out OF har-
mony with the Sherman law. This
being the case, it would appear to be
the plain duty Of The Morning News
to show what an unreasonable and an
unjust law Is this same Sherman bill.
The editor shows by his argument
that he is convinced that the Steel
Trust is an innocent and a beneficent
institution. The independent opera
tors, The News says, are getting along
finely, and there is no monopoly, and
peace and order prevails in the busi-
ness. Il is plain then, from the point
of view of The Morning News that
the trouble I'm this country is because
of the Sherman law and not because
OF che exactions Of monopoly.
That there is room for a difference
Of opinion on this subject and that
there are those who think differently
from The Morning News was impress
ed upon me by talk we had with ;

A NOTABLE HONOR.

Dover Delawarean.
II is always a pleasure to note the
success of Delawareans who have
gone elsewhere. as we'll as of those
still with us. This State is small. but
she has furnished useful citizens 10
nearly all her big sisters.
IL viii be particularly pleasing to
his many friends TO learn of a high
honor which has Just come to Mr..
John P. Holland. Mr.. Holland is the
son of one of the leading citizens of
Delaware, and himself while quite
young attained much prominence and
influence both in political and ia
church affairs. In 1904 he was a dele
gate from this State to the Democratic
National Convention, and he was
probably the youngest man who ever
sat in that hody. Three years ago he
headed the lay delegation from the
Wilmington Conference to the Gen.
eral Conference at Baltimore Last
fall he moved to Sacramento, Califor-
mia, accepting position with the
Southern Pacific Railway. and he has
just been chosen a lay delegate from
the California Conference 70 the Gen
eral Conference which Is TO meet in
Minneapolis next spring.
This is distinction highly priced
and leading and distinguished laymen
are thus honored. Coming to young
man, and after so short a residence
the honor Is all the more signal.

GOOD NEWS FROM DELAWARE COLLEGE.

T. RIENDS of Delaware College, and they
i should number all Delawareans, must be
gratifed at the evidence of growth of the Newark
institution. Freshman class with membership
of 68 shows that the college is moving forward,
keeping pace with the development of similar in
stitutions.
Ii is interesting to note the courses of study
that the new students are 10 take. twenty-five OF
the Freshmen have entered the agricultural de-
partment This is large increase as compared
with previous years. Ii shows that young men are
waking up TO the opportunities for intelligent and
scientific farming and that the farmers OF the
state are beginning TO appreciate Delaware Col
Iege as never before. The efforts of the farmers
to make the college a vital force in agricultural
development of the state having effect.
The fact that so large number of young men
are turning their attention to agriculture, means
more for Delaware than appears on the surface.
1t means. or should mean, that the character OF
our farming will be changed in the not distant
future, that the change is already taking place,
and that agricultural Delaware will come into her
own, will be'praotcaliy garden devoted to fruit
and vegetable raising and to higher agriculture.
Twenty-Five of the Freshmen to pursue tech
nical OF engineering courses civil, electrical and

To the old time college student this drift to tho
technical courses is odd. but in this respect Della
ware is not different from most OF the other col
leges. The tendency is 10 have young man
equipped for profession by the time he is grad
uated
But seven Freshmen are taking the classical
course, the original college course, and this is
point for passing regret. The classical course
gives young man training that he can get in no
other way.
This practical age however, relegates the
classics to the rear in most colleges and univers-
ties. If the young could would devote
the time, il would be better to follow classical
course with technical engineering one, just
as students Of law or medicine or theology should
have previous classical training, OF at least a
modified classical training.
There are nineteen Freshmen from Wilmington.
1t was not so many years ago that the students at
Delaware College from Wilmington could be
counted on the fingers. Every year shows an in
creasing number from this city. OF the counties,
