Nor can 1t be denied that the people of Wilmington

What is true of the letter carriers is equally true of

the work they called upon to do for the public

such rush to the stores buy pistols that the sup

President Tafts friends will control the Republican
State Convention in Maryland tomorrow by a ma

Roosevelt carried the preferential primary by almost

will insist that delegates be selected who will for

.pLEAs FOR ouICK COLLECTIONS.

From the Milford Chronicle.
No private business could exist
which permitted its accounts to re-
main uncollected for two or more
years, and It is equally true that a
county cannot successfully conduct
its affairs without the money TO pay
the bills promptly as they are con-
tracted. ALL taxes assessed must be
collected promptly and in the same
year in which they are levied, to en-
able a county to maintain its credit
to do work devolving upon those IN
charge. in an economical monner. IL
REQUIRES good business management
to collect taxes, and the collector who
can get this money promptly, devotes
] his undivided attention to that work,
The idea that taxes are. not due until
after the rebate period is over, is a
mistake. All taxes are due as soon as
the duplicate Is placed in the hands
of the collector, and he has the right
/ to demand them at once. When the
men appointed to get the taxes realize
I that their bOndsmen will be called
upon to pay over the entire duplicate
| at the expiration of the year In which
/ the tax is laid, then they will de-
vote their time and attention to the
work Il is the law now, that no
collector can be legally re-appointed

collection made. Every member OF
the Levy Court who fails to exact
this from a collector, is violating the
oath he took when he went into office,
which was to execute the laws as on
I the books.

CAPITALISM AND MATRMONY.

CAPITALISM AND MATRIM0NY.
From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
It is a source Of qualification TO see
that our contemporaries are begin
ming to sit up and take notice OF the
fact that not only Is a very active
propaganda work being carried on ~
the local Socialist party, but that w0i
are handing them out few economic
truths in these columns. We can
not however agree with THE EVEN
! ING JOURNAL that the capitalist sys-
| fem fosters matrimony; but rather
| that. marriage being a sociological
necessity. most people who marry do
SO in spite of the system. OF course
the capitalists are in favor of facili-
tating marriage, for they know that q
man who Is burdened with family
is more easily exploited and makes
a better slave, and that under tho
/ tcauitalist system the woman is gen
orally a slave Of a slave. Love is

mates. most young people rush into
matrimony without considering the
handicaps, or in spite of them; but
soon poverty comes in at the door
and love leaps out Of the window"
and it is with the untold misery and
suffering and deprivation after mar
riage, caused by our unjust social con-
ditlons, that the Socialist Is most con-
cerned, as we'll as the knowledge that
the capitalist system forces the chill
dren and mothers into the industrial
! field. and saps out the life blood be-
fore they have really lived. Stalls
tics prove that 81 per cent. of the
people Of this country live in stata
OF semi-starvation or near poverty
and the "self-denial and thirst" which
/ THE JOURNAL deems so commend
able. and 80 conducive TO happy mar
riaFc, produces children who ars
literally starved before they are born
! Socialists believe that every child
has right TO be we'll born. As Far
as bachelors or old maids are CON
cerned, n there Is any lack OF desire
on the part OF any Of them TO marry
that lack OF desire is bred by the svs.
tenn that produces individuals w,th

FROM the newark Ledger
Through the instrumentality Of the

ILLNESS BREAKS PARTY LINES

PREMIUM LISTS
POULTRY DEPT.
ARENOWR READY
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN THIS
DEPARTMENT OF THE PENSA-
COLA INTERSTATE FAIR MAY
SECURE COPIES BY APPLYING
TO w. L. WITCH, SUPERIN-
TENDENT.

Premium lists for the poultry de-
partment of the Pensacola Interstate
Fair for 1912 have already been
printed and are now being distributed
by w. l.. Witch, Jr., superintendent
of that department.
The premium lists are a credit to the
fair in every respect. They are issu-
ed in a very attractive form in the
first place and they contain a valuable
lot of information relative to this de-
partment, besides showing that more
premiums have been offered in this
department than ever before. In fact,
this year is the first time it has
been necessary to issue a separate list
for the department, which shows the
increasing interest in this feature, as
well as in the fair in general.
Mr.. Witch is very sanguine over
the outlook for his department this
year and believes that he will have the
best chicken show ever seen in Flor
ida.
He said yesterday afternoon that he
would gladly furnish those, who are
interested in the department with
copies of the premium list if they will
apply for them. His address is w. L.
Witch, Jr., Box 7S7.

Don't Hug a Delusion
Something Gust AS Good
An Inpossibility If
the Original Have
Nothing At All.

For woman to adorn her head with
false braids, puffs and rats, or a man
to wear toupee, is likely buying an
off-brand hair preparation instead of
Newbro's Herpicide. The false hair"
and the brand" are both substi-
tutes for the real thing. The original
is always conceded to be better than
any imitation or substitute. Some
thing just as good" is a heresy of the
rankest kind.
Newbro's Herpicide is the original
remedy and does as promised. Years
of success and thousands of satisfied
users have made 1t tandard. Herpi-
eide kills the dandruff germ. keeps the
scalp clean and stops falling hair. Its
proper use before badness appears
makes false hair and wigs unneces-
Sary.
There Is no uncertainty. The pur-
chaser gets positive results or money
is refunded. 1t is sold and guaranteed
by all druggists.
Applications may be obtained at
good barber shops and hair dressing
par1ors.
