A Question Of Clothes.

New York Word.
John Burns accepted place in the
British Cabinet and when occasion re-
ouired donned court dress. But Signor
Bissolati, leader Of the Socialist party
In the Italian Chamber of Deputies,
is made Of sterner stuff. Because he
would have to wear a uniform on
state occasions he refuses to enter the
cabinet.
The other day, on the royal invita-
ton, Signor Bissolati called on the
King and discussed the political situ-
alton. Whether on his visit to the
palace he wore his everyday suit and
and a soft cap or the statesman's long
black coat and silk hat, none Of his
principles as a socialist we're violated.
Certain kinds Of clothes In certain
kinds Of politics are almost as i'm
portant as principles. The italian
socialist is a friend of the proletariat
and abhors the fummery of royalty.
Convention requires that he shall be-
lieye as devoutly in democratic attire
as that the court chamberlain shall in
sist on gilt and braid as outward en-
blems. Each is the slave of a fashion,
but royalty in Italy is an established
institution and the socialists merely a
minority party; so Signor Bissolatl
remains outside the cabinet. Still,
II he we're less concerned about
clothes he might have accomplished
more in advancing the political
principles he advocates by taking Of
fee as a member Of the government,

A newspaper writer compares the
human will to the magnetic of an auto
mobile.
Which is apt
You know gasoline when mixed with
air has great explosive power. But
something must explode the gasoline
The magnetic does that.
1t is little machine that makes
electricity and supplies the spark that
explodes the gasoline. The rapid ex-
plosions drive the engine and send the
wheels of the auto going.
The magnetic only needs TO be start
ed going by ''cranl5ing" the automobile,
and it goes on making sparks as long
as the engine runs.
Well

The mental magnetic. which is sup

that force to whatever place It is

Because Of that magnetic you can go

round trip depending upon the hours
When travel is very heavy Il takes i
little longer to unload the ferryboat.
At either side Of the stream, the
steam boats pass through.
The Duluth idea was borrowed from
Europe. and II might be an ideal thing

These are real life stoFies;

These are real life stories;
A young man, the youngest and favor
ite son of an old mother. wanted to so
to China as a missionary--a laudable
ambition.
His mother was infrm and needed
his care and attention, She begged
him to wait until she was gone. ''rhen
you will be Free" she said. And his
answer was;
II belong 10 God"
He acted as If be did not belong to
any one. He stepped over his moth
er's prayers and went to the mission
field. Shortly after his departure his
mother died in an insane asylum.
Another:
Two daughters Of a feeble old moth
er announced to her that they intended
to change their religion. which they
had a right 10 do.
But the mother could not see the
matter from their viewpoint she was
too old to change her religious feelings.
She entreated her girls to wait until
she passed away.
The daughters did not wait. They
disregarded the plea of the old mother.
She was prostrated and is on the verge
of death.
One more:
A worthy old man Of eighty years
lived In an Iowa village. His daughter,
who was a widow. determined to move
to California. The father pleaded that
she wait the short time he might have
to live.
The daughter was obdurate. She
offered to take the old man with her.
but he said he could not leave bis
friends of a lifetime.
The daughter went to the coast.
Two weeks afterward the father died
These are not pretty stories.

THE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.

7 is the intention Of those who active in
promoting the Civic Association to get down
TO business, TO arouse interest in the work of the
organization so that II shall increase III member
ship and become a strong factor in the city
There is every kind of reason why the promoters
of the association should feel encouraged. IL was
organized a short time ago, but it has already
complished results The Legislature has created
a commission which is TO formulate a new charter
for Wilmington All this is a result of the agita-
tion Of the Civic Association. And il mercy
shows what force for good and progress the AS
sooiaton can become.
1t seems TO us that an effort should be made TO
combine all the similar organizations Of the city
into one strong body that would be a club OF con
siderable importance something like the City Club
of Philadelphia, or the various clubs that arc ,ac
tive in the western cities and in cities and tdSns
-of New England.
The various organizations already in the city
need not be abandoned but they should have some
connection with the central body, which could he
the Civic Association For example there is
Social Service Club there are clubs con-
nected with churches and some other organizations
for self Improvement and the study of civic and
social and economic matters. The activities of the
Civic Association should not by any means be
confined TO the New Charter subject, but the AS
sociation should become a general forum for the
consideration Of all matters that pertain TO the life
Of the city
But whatever may be done. the Civic Associa-
ton appeals 10 the people for support Member
ship with a nominal fee is welcomed. Mr.. Herbert
S Morrow, of No 90s Delaware avenue, is secre-
tary of the Association. and he would be pleased
10 receive applications for membership.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR NEWARK.

M EWARK is TO have important new indus
try. A large western preserving company
which has the reputation of making a fine pro-
duct is TO locate at the college town IL is said
that ground for the plant has been secured and
almost the required number of acreagcs have been
obtained from farmers who promise to grow the
vegetables the company wants.
Not long ago il was announced that the Armours
we're erecting plant Rdgely- Md, part
Of the Eastern Shore that has been considerably
developed during recent years
The proposed new preserving plant should be
an important industry for Newark 1t is likely
that other such factories will come TO Delaware.
They would surely do so, If the advantages Of the
State for industries of this kind we're generally
known
Sussex and Kent counties lead in the packing
industries and even the present large number Of
them should be greatly increased, for there is no
part Of the country more suitable for canning and
preserving fruits and vegetables.

THE HIGHwAY AND PLEAsuRE.

a LREADY some wilmingtonians are anxious
4 \ TO see the dupont road built as rapidly as
possible Visions of automobile trips and the like
are before them. The new road will strengthen
the bonds of friendship between Wilmingtonans
and residents Of the rural districts.
Already there is talk of road houses and country
clubs along the line of the boulevard. One gen
tleman yesterday suggested that there should be
at least two of such houses along the boulevard
where travellers could secure meals automobile
supplies and rest for a while.
He thought that one of these houses should be
built just below Smyrna and the other somewhere
near the Kent and Sussex county line The house
near Smyrna for example, would enable Whining
tonians to take an afternoon or an evening trip
stopping at Smyrna for refreshments and return
ing
The gentleman of course was anxious that the
road should be finished soon because he didn't want
10 be much older before he could enjoy it, That
is the way many of the older people will feel about
it,
OF course the pleasure side of the good road is
point in its favor, but it is not the chief one
by any means. The practical purposes of the good
road will be fully realized by the farmers and
others when they use il.
With the completion of the road there will be
demand for the improvement of other roads. In
fact the construction of the highway should not
cause Kent and Sussex counties TO halt in any
plans they may have for better roads
They can spend all the money they have TO de-
vote to such matters TO improving the cross roads.

Scotsmen Leave Native Land.

Ten years ago Scotland had a popu-
lation in round numbers of 4,5OO.O 900.
Now it has 100000, so that the in
crease in ten years has been less
than seven per cent as compared
with more than eleven per cent for
the previous decade Various causes
have been assigned for the check to
the growth of the community, but the
greatest cause is undoubtedly the ex.
traordinary emigration from all parts
of Scotland to Canada and the Unit
ed States during the last five or six
years. About 10000 persons have
gone to Canada alone in this period.
Both the country and the cities are
affected. Thousands of old home
steads have been abandoned by those
who have yielded to the attractions
of the new world. Agriculturists and
many of the best artisans have gone
with their families.

STANDARD LOSES KANSAS CASE.
Three Oil Companies Enjoned From
Combining to Stifie Competition.

Topeka. Kan.-The Kansas supreme
court handed down a decision in
the states suit against three sub
sidiary companies of the Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, prohibit
ing them from combining to stif1e
competition.
The three companies are the Stand
ard Oil company of Indiana, the Stand
ard Oil company of Kansas and the
Prairie Oil and Gas company.
The defendant companies are en-
joined from owning stock in each
other, from selling petroleum or petro-
leum products cheaper in one part of
the state than in another for the pur-
pose OF driving out competition, and
from making contracts with any per-
son to cause the latter to refrain from
selling oil in Kansas.
The Standard Oil company of In
diana, the selling company, is re-
strained from selling under different
brands or trade names oil Of the same
quality and value.
