1t was stated by the members of
the State Board Of Education that
the General Assembly of Delaware
has instructed them to formulate
plan for the higher education of
girls, and that in discharge of
their duty they decided that this
ought to be done in connection with
Delaware College. After some dis
cussion of the general plan for
meeting what appears to be the
needs in the State, certain tenta-
tive conclusions We're reached.
In order to bring the matter def
nitely before the joint committee it
.la nI hot - hn
of these committees that the State

the ordinances or Legislative acts,
to any person for the purposes
above mentioned.
He has no more authority to
give this defendant the privilege to
extend his stand into the street at
the place in question than he would
to rent him stand on French st.
or some other street not set apart
for market purposes. AS the space
over which the defendant had ex-
tended his stand is not by ordi-
nance allotted for market purposes,
the defendant is therefore, guilty
of the charge.
His ignorance of the law does
not excuse him, nor does the lack
of authority in the clerk Of the mar
ket protect him.
"He had been warned by the po-
lice that he was violating the law.
He should have made inquiry, and
ascertained his rights.
"From the great number of COM
plants made i'll regard to the prac-
tices in the markets of this city of
letting space to persons not entit-
led to the same, and of system of
extortion by compelling persons to
pay a bonus for stalls and stands
in the markets, and many other ir-
Irregularities in the way of buying
privileges not granted by law, it
seems to this court that there
should be a strenuous effort made
to rectify these wrongs and punish
the offenders. In conclusion
might say that | am informed on
reliable authority that there are
other serious irregularities going
on III the market; one Of which is
that some farmers Ill the market
are selling produce other than their
own, making a regular business of
buying produce, especially eggs
and cold storage eggs, tOo-selling
them as their own and as fresh
, eggs, which | consider a great I'M
, position on the public and should
; be broken up. hereby order the
Police Department and would like
} all other officers of the law and
' those III authority to keep a sharp
e lookout for all such offenders and
bring them begore the court.

SENDS CONSCIENCE MONEY.

WASHINGTON. - The cash trans actions of Lee McClung. treasurer of the United States. with the bus. ness world in the fiscal year 1912 climbed to the enormous total of $4.S37.226,3SS. the highest in the history of the country. This amount. $3oo,o0o.0o0 greater than the previ- ous year. represents the combined income and expenditures of the partmental transactions. which neces- sarily involved duplication. the total amount of money handled by the divisions of the treasurer's office reached $G,G0l ,731.5O2. This sum passed through hundreds of hands in the treasury, but only one off cial was bonded for its security-the treasurer of the United States. whose bond is only $l50,OO0. and who by law is personally held responsible for every cent of the billions that pass through his office yearly. Mir McClung admitted that he is start led when he contemplates the great ness of the amount of money which theoretically he must personally ac count for. In few cases of de falcations which have occurred in the treasury. congress has invari- ably relieved the treasurer, but Mr McClung, like his predecessors, main tains that every man should be bonded. Under the present con ditions, he must depend largely up- on the honesty of his subordinates and a comprehensive system of checks against individuals and groups of individuals to detect irreg ularities.

TRANSFERRING INDUS
 TRIES TO AMERICA

The first step is about to be taken toward the establishment in this country of the embroidery industry on larger scale. Heretofore prac- tically all of this class of goods has been imported During the past two or three years some progress has been made in the manufacture of embroideries at IIoboken. and it ie now accepted as proved beyond q commercial doubt that embroderies can be successfully produced here. The result of the new erterprjso will be the development in and about Hohoken of a large Swiss settlement. which will he of a unique character owing 10 the known tendency of the Swiss people to take with them to other lands their distinctive GUS toms and traditions
 The plan is destined to create a situation which in a very few years will take rank as an industrial growth with the manufacture of silk, hosiery and other merchandise which for generations were made only in limited European centers and have rapidly assumed such an important commercial place that they now not only supply the major part of the American demand, but have engaged in export trade as well.
 The announcement of this enter prise comes through the authorized statement that Arnold B. Hoiue, head of the firm of Arnold B. Hcino Co.,, one of the largest and best known embroidery houses in the United States. is coming to this country, having disposed of the firms financial interest in it's factory at ArDon.

THE JUDAS OF NEWSPAPERDOM

One of the easiest things in the world to do is to double-cross a per son who trusts you, or to take som one who has no means of defensa and force that person through sheer fore. to be the unwilling victim of yOur own lack of principle There is no difficulty in betraying anyone who is powerless to protect himself ho.H the viciousness of your bigOted mind You can find a person tied hand and foot, and beat them into doing your will. but you can't tell the people you did it honestly
 That is the way the News-Minar stands in regard to Socialism. II has adopted the Socialist party for one and only one reason: to double cross it. 1t does not believe in So cialism, it does not believe that il can get a cent out of the Socialists the Socialists could bring anything hat it claims it would bring; but il dare not support the Non-Partisar ticket. The Democratic party wants none of the contamination that comes with the support of the unprinciple| paper The Progressive party lon" since has learned how unprincipled vas the evening paper and cast loose forever from the death spreading germ that it carries to every hones' project. The Republicans have noth- ing to say. As the News-Miner says they are joke"
 But the News-Miner must say some
 hing. To keep silent
 its ruination, for everybody knows that instead of a comic supplemer 1t runs an editorial column in which there appears from time to tim Original editorials" The object of this editorial column, if it can be called such in the News Miner, is to get a strangle-hold on some poor innocent person or party that has a little of the filthy lucre, and to choke the victim into insensibility. lead him to believe that the News-Miner is an honest newspaper, and then bold ly suck him until it can get no more and then cast him into the street. The latest victims of the News-Miner are the Socialists. They do not want the support of that pa per. Nor does the News-Miner want to support the Socialists But the News-Miner wants to use the Social ists as a wedge to split both parties or tickets, and to force into the field another party, few members of which may have a couple of dol

lars that will help support that blot on newspaperdom in Fairbanks. that has never done one thing to build up. hu, has used all its influence to break down honest. upright legisla- tiuu. and truthful and sincere candt. dates Do not for one moment think that the Socialists want tho support of the News-Miner Do you think that any sane person would for one moment consider its sup port anything but detrimental? No, IL is simply to double cross. to show it's disregard for the fundamentals of hon est newspaperdom. and it's lack of principle that the Miner ia vors the Socialists The body of the News-Miner is money. the soul of the News-Niner is money. the con science of the News Miner is money. the great god of the paper. the shrine at which its unprncipled editorial column sits is Money.
 No matter who has it. or how he came by it. or what it must do
 to get il. the News-Miner will not let a quarter slip by. Honor, faith. principle, the benefit of the people. or of the territory. must all bow DC fore the great god Money. And when the day of editorial prostitution
 ceases. when the selling of one
 mind for the sake of a few filthy dollars regardless of what il means to the people who support you, when
 the day of crookedness and Coulle- crossing is over. the News Miner will be buried among the unnourned dead, in the Potter's Field for the outcasts of the world oi honest and straightforward newspapers.
