Victory OF The Commons. ,

In England, the government long ago

In England, the government makes
railroad rates The railroads have nothing
to say about them.
In England, the government has Just

Z In England, the government has

its parcels post.
These economies are now accepted,

In the United States private interests
own the telegraph, telephone, railway
and express lines aud make their own
rates.
For the government to own rhese
utilities would he 'socialistic."
In the United States the land is owned
by millions of small owners IT is
TAXED.
This is accepted orthodox doctrine.
In England, 1000 people own half
of the land. In the British isles, 5000
people own over half the land.
Over there, la1d was never taxed until
Lloyd-George passed his budget year
and half ago, Now it is taxed but
lightly.
In England, land tax is held up TO
the public as 'socialistic"
Thus the tory, who derives profit from
special legislation, rears his flag in all
countries. Socialism" is used to scare
the tinlid, whether to ward off land taxes
or any other reform in the public interest.
Fundamentally. the struggle in Eng
land is identical with the struggle in the
United States. 1t is the conflict between
the people and privilege. Today the
people of England have given privilege
a smashing blow. What is known as the
veto bill has been accepted by the
house of lords, who have been driven to
corner by popular sentiment, twice ex-
pressed at the polls, and by the threat of
the king to create enough new peers to
overcome the tory majority if the bill
isn't passed.
The effect will be to make the house of
commons practically the sole legislative
body of England. The lords will retain
their titles ard dignity. but not much else.
And the commons is what we Ameri.
cans call progressive" The victory

One of the charges that the "organiza-
ton" candidate for the Gubernatofial
nomination, German, has not been able
to satisfactorily refute is that he is the
choice of the liquor interestsl In view of
this fact, it is hardly to be expected that
the independent voters of the Eastern
Shore, where all of the counties are dry,
will flock to his support. And there are
other sections of the State where this
same opposition will be met by German.

Chestnut Tree Blight In Delaware

Dr.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the

Red tape, :" or slavery to precedent and
methods of procedure in the transaction
of public business, is the bane of official
dom. Occasionally an official has the
strength of character to shove precedent
aside when the public good demands such
action. To be able to do this is dis
tinguishing mark of good executive.
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office, Hon. Fred bennett, having a
multiplicity of duties pressing upon his
attention, not infrequently has to deal a
body blow to bureaucracy.
Here is an instance where administra-
tive skill was required. On the Chippewa
lands is large quantity of fir timber. one
of the best bodies of timber remaining in
that country, 1t being his duty to cut
and sell all such timber for the benefit OF
the Indians, Commissioner bennett had
already ordered the sale of the timber
and contracts had been prepared. On
visiting the country around the reserva-
ton last year he found that there was
likely to be poor market for timber as
much 6re-killed standing timber had to
be cut in order to save it from decay, fire
and other losses. He accordingly
changed the specifications, put off the
cutting one year, and effected the sale OF

Mary T Knowlton writes IN the
Rockford Star:
No fly has yet been found that could
be taught good manners. He just
loves to come and wipe his feet on a
delicious piece of cake you are about
to put into your mouth This is a dis
gusting fact to contemplate when we
have been taught the history of these
annoying little insects. It was former
~ supposed that flies were useful
scavengers and harmful only from the
annoyance. But the fly has been found
cut. great scientists have studied his
history, his life and his habits and
pronounce him not only q nuisance but
a positive danger. not only to peace
but to health. The person that we
honored because he was so gentle that
"he would not hurt a fly is a person
to be honored no more, but the one
who can assist the most in preventing
his breeding, is the person we should
honor.
DR.. L. o. Howard, chief Of the Ma
tional Bureau of Entomology at Wash
ington. has made an extensive study
of this pest and OF the simplest meth
DDS of preventing his breeding and
destruction after he appears.
DR.. Howard says the fly performs no
useful service; he is indefatigable in
his appointed task of conveying dirt
and disease germs from his foul sur
roundings where he is born and lives
TO the places where your food is pre-
pared and eaten.
When l examined the fly under the
glass, l was impressed how fearfully
and wonderfully he is made
The gauzy wings, the thousands Of
facets or lenses on the head forming

simple eyes that look like little BLACK
buttons. the feelers that look like pea

SUPREME COURTS WORK.
Great Amount to Be Done When
judges Return From Vacation.


Judges Return From Vacation.
Coincident with the closing of the
term of the supreme court of the Unit
| ed States and the departure OF the JUS
tees for their summer vacations has
been the planning of an immense
amount of work for the court when 1t
meets again next October.
Thirty-fve cases, some Of them Of
farreaching Importance. have been adj
vanced for hearing on the first day of
the next term cor as soon thereafter
as practicable" The quoted phrase is
estimated to mean a month, for it Is
said that 1t will take at least that time
to hear the arguments in all these
cases.
Among the cases advanced are those
involving the validity of the indict-
ment of Charles r. Munday and others
growing out of the so called Stracey
coal lands claims in Alaska and of
the indictment of James A. Patten and
others on charges of violating the Sher-
man antitrust law in ''cornering" the
cotton market. The review of the trial
of Frederick A. Hyde and others on
charges of land frauds on the Pacific
coast will be another prominent case.
In addition to these the court will
have under advisement during the
summer about a dozen cases which
were argued in the term just closed,
but not decided. Probably the most
important Of these is that involving
the constitutionality of the federal
employers liability act of 1908
According to a summary by Deputy
Clerk Maher of the work done by the
court during the term just ended, 500
cases were filed and 454 We're disposed
Of These included 1865 opinions. Dur
ing the preceding term SOB cases were
filed and only 1876 cases were disposed
of, including ne opinions.
