UNCLESAM KEEPS
DOWNLTVTNGCOST
In CANAL ZONE

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-THE high
cost~of living problem hasn't reached
the Panama canal zone. While house
wives here in the states are paying
record prices for meat, Uncle Sans
commissary on the zone is furnishing
steak, roasts, and chops as cheaply as
a year or so ago
Porterhouse steak, selling at from
80 to 35 cents pound can be pur-
chased at Panama for twenty cents.
Sirloin bring twenty-five cents here,
1s on the zone. Ham is twenty-eight
cents a pound from the commissaries,
and forty cents from he grocery
stores here. The Canal Record, Off
oial publication Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission. gives many other figures
showing low meat prices.
The explanation is that on the zone
Uncle Sam himself is the store-keeper
buying direct from the packers and
selling to the public at wholesale
price plus only the cost Of selling.

KINp WORDs FOR RRApY.

From the Middletown New Era.
The name of Frederick Brady, Of
this town, is being prominently mem
toned in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor this
fall, and the concensus of opinion at
this time seems to be that Mr.. Brady
has an excellent chance OF securing
the nomination at the State Conven-
ton. to be held at Dover next month.
Mr.. Brady's candidacy is attracting
unusual interest-an interest that is
not confined to the ranks of his own
party. He became a candidate at the
very earnest solicitation of numerous
friends throughout the country, and
only after serious consideration and
hesitancy that is unusual 10 say the
least, in these days. While Mr.. Brady
has always taken a keen interest in
the affairs of his party, he is known
as a business man rather than poll
tician. And in the present condition
Of the public mind, in its feeling to-
ward political parties. 1t Will be gen.
orally conceded that the average citi-
zen shows an inclination to turn to
the business man rather than the poll
tician for safe and sane guidance.
There are many reasons Why Fred
erick Brady would make the strong
est candidate Of any Of those who
have been mentioned in correction
with the nomination for Governor.
and It is a fact which admits Of no
arpunent that his extensive acquain-
taroe throughout the state, together
with his popularity as a man, would,
in the event Of his nomination by the
State Convention. make his election IN
November almost a foregone conclu-
sion. It is a healthy sign for the fu-
ture when the Democratic party OF
this State gives serious consideration
to the candidacy for public Office Of
such men as Frederick Brady and his
nomi- alton and election to the office
Of Governor of Delaware would be a
cause for congratulation by all good
citizens, regardless Of party lines.

Editorial Opinion
THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH OF
ACCEPTANCE.

AJJEBIANCE.
From the Elkton Whig.
President Taft was not so much
surprised by his notification of his
nomination as that he could not reply
and reply in words that are very
wise. We have not found it to our
liking always to endorse the Presi-
dents words or deeds. But we find II
entirely agreeable to express our
hearty approval Of his every utterance
in his recent speech of acceptance.
That speech may not gain him
votes. But we are among those who
believe that the business OF leadership
is not to say the thing that is popu-
lar but the thing that is TRUE.
Therein lies the merit of the Presi-
dents utterance. It has, OF course
horrifed the "progressives" that a
President of these u. S. should so far
fail to appreciate the sentiment OF
the country as to give utterance to
such conservative views. We rather
think President Taft was not think
ing about the sentiment of the
country" in this deliverance OF his (.
we suspect his thought was on some
thing higher and better--on making
the people bark back from the "exag-
geration OF the defects OF our present
condition" to a remembrance OF
things that are sound, and wise, and
tested in governmental AFFAIRS. Mr..
William Jennings Bryan finds himself
shocked beyond measure by Mr.. Taft .

of popular government, because OF
his very proper structures on tbs

the other, TO our thinking, those
structures are eminently deserved.

POLICE KNOW
OF NO SUNDAY

At the regular meeting of the Police
Commission yesterday afternoon, a
letter that appeared in a Sunday
newspaper. which charged that clubs
were selling intoxicating liquors on
Sunday, was discussed. In answer
to the letter, which it was learned,
did not make any specific charge. the
reports of the street sergeants for
the past week were submitted, all Of
which stated that so far as the police
men can learn there was no violation
of the law on last Sunday.
Chief Of Police Black said that he
had questioned the street sergeants
personally and they had told him
they knew of no violations. He said
the letter in question contained
rambling charges, and did not specify
any one place. He said the police
men had authority to walk into club

Fighting the Biggest Gorilla.

F18nCln& TIC likes GOr1lIa.
Wheeling round, says a writer in
the December Wide World Magazine,
the gorilla dashed away at its top
speed through the tall grass, the
natives in hot pursuit. Like beaters
they drove the animal toward their
village, and with loud shouts endeav-
ored to give the alarm to those re-
naming there. The gorilla, more
agile than the hunters, increased it's
lead somewhat, but was obliged to go
straight on, for already the cries Of
the natives scattered through the
plantation were heard on all sides.
The great brute leapt towards a little
path but was quickly obliged to
abandon it, on perceiving new enc
mics coming towards it. Breaking
through some thick bushes, which
hindered it's pursuers for a moment,
the animal passed quickly over a
small river and climed up the OPP
posite bank with great rapidity, in
spite of its huge bulk. Though
streaming with perspiration, the
blacks were none the less resolute
in the chase, for they felt sure of
victory, and that the destroyer of
their crops was at last to pay for
his misdeeds with his life.
Continuing it's h%eadlong course, the
gorilla descended a slope and sud
denly appeared at the extremity of
the village, where the huts, built of
red earth. extend in parallel lines
along a slight ridge, at the top of
which is the chiefs dwelling. At the
sight of the hideous monster the
women ran screaming into their huts,

this pandemonium Of noise the Few
men present rushed for their arms
and prepared to do battle with the
common enemy.
The struggle promised to be Sc
we're, for in it's fight the beast had
armed itself with a big branch, torn
from a tree, as thick as a mans arm.
With this club, ~brandished in MS
powerful fist, he held the most au-
dacious at bay. Spears wh1stled con-
ttnuously through the air as the hunt
ers closed up, but the beast avoided
them with amazing skill, meanwhile
trying to force its way through those
who barred the path. A bullet struck
it in the thigh; it staggered, but did
not drop. Grinding its teeth in rage,
it struck the nearest native a smash
ing blow on the head with its great
club. He dropped like a log, his face
badly cut, and was hurriedly picked
up and dragged away by his comrades
before the gorilla could damage him
further.
BY this time there was a circle OF
men round the animal-yelling hurl-
ing spears, and firing their guns
while the gorilla darted and whirled
this way and that, striking out furi-
ously with it's club. The uproar was
ind~escribable. Suddenly a shot, fired
wildly, struck one of the hunters in
the arm and shattered it.. He fell
with a cry of pain, and the gorilla,
rushing in upon him, tore savagely
at his back. The man was in deadly
peril when another native, coming
quite close, shot the brute in the left
side, whereupon it released it's vic
tim and fell. From all sides there
was a rush to finish 1t, but in a last
effort it arose, whirling its club and
champing it's jaws-the incarnation
of brute ferocity. AS it stood there
a spear, cleverly aimed, hit it near
the heart, while at the same moment
a bullet struck it above the left eye.
Mortally wounded at last, the mon
ster dropped dead.

THE DECEMBER WIDE WORLD
MAGAZINE,

Many stories and articles OF an
exciting and Informative character
appear in the December issue of the
Wide World Magazine. Jules Lee
grand describes "A Gorilla Hunt In
Equatorial Africa" and tells how q
monster gorilla which had been de-
vastating the plantations was slain
by tho natives of a Central African
village. Herman Scheffauer gives a
charming description, beautifully IL
Illustrated, of San Francisco's open-air
theatre, and Nicholas Lee tells of an
exciting visit which he paid some
time ago to our western "China
Town." "a Battle with Bees" is a
very remarkable narrative by Fred
erick Lees. Clifford Halle's account
Of how he took a motor car to King
Menelik of Abysinnia reads like a
romance by Rider Haggard. 1.-TWO
Years in the Kulu Valley" by e. A.
Joseph, describes a little known but
highly attractive section Of India.
The magazine is profusely illustrated
mostly by photographs.
Playing the "Firlinfoens."
At Brianza, in Lombardy, there
exists a most curious band, all the
members OF which play the same
kind Of instrument, known as the
"irlinfoens." This corresponds to
what we know as "pan-pipes," and is
constructed of reeds fastened side by
side, the bass pipes being often sew
eral feet long, while the other grad
ually decrease in size. The "fir1in-
foens"-as the players are called,
after their instruments-are, as a
rule, ignorant of music, and they
learn their tunes by heart-often
from a gramophone. 1t is said that
the pan-pipe players experience all
the sensations of intoxication after
a march, due to their energetic blow
ing and the constant wagging of the
head to and fro. The music, by the
way. although curious at first, is not
unpleasing.-From the December

Steadiness in this market today was
largely due to the covering by the local

market ruled steady throughout the short

the big traders to stdestep and await the
