RAILROAD REGuLATIoN

OMMENTlNG on an editorial article in The
- Journal with regard to the Delaware Rail-
road Company, stating how we'll ii is managed
and how much the development of the state de-
pends upon the company, the Delmar News says:
This kind Of talk is all very we'll as far as
It goes, but what the farmers of this section
OF Delaware want to see, and what they must
positively have is lower freight rates on the
things they produce and send to the CITY mar
kets If the railroad company is one of the
best paying pieces of railroad in the United
States, which il is, it is because it has no COM
petition and can charge and compel the far
mer to pay whatever freight rate il chooses.
If the railroad company is so interested in
building up Delaware it could well afford to
lower the rates on perishable produce. and
until the company does this very thing, it will
have great difficulty in convincing people Of
lower Delaware that it is interested in their
welfare. Present high freight rates on per-
ishable commodities means that the company
takes from the producer large part of the
profit that he should receive from his labor.
In the main we agree with the foregoing from
The News, but The Journal during the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature and before urged the crea-
tion by the Legislature Of a state public utilities
commission. The campaign ended, as The News
may recall, with the naming of a commission for
Wilmington, most Of the Legislature members
from the lower counties being apparently little
concerned in having a commission for the entire
state.
We do not recollect that the rural newspapers
Of the state gave any considerable support to the
effort TO secure state commission, although when
the matter was not alive and when the Legislature
was not in session they together with numerous
grangers, did much howling about alleged excess
sive freight rates And we may add that the fine
record Of Congressman William II. Head in regard
TO railroad legislation at Washington attracted
very little attention in Kent and Sussex counties,
not nearly so much as it should have done.
IF the grangers and such newspapers as our
Delmar contemporary and others reaywanted such
legislation in Delaware to correct alleged abuses
they would get together in determined effort to
secure it and not conhne themselves 10 grumb-
ling during off political years. There should be
a way TO place these charges of alleged discrimi-
nations and excessive rates, if they are we'll
founded, before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, In other words, it often seems to The
Journal that in Delaware we do too much talking
and not enough acting. cr $40

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped to reason
why 1t is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at
once drop out of sight and are soon
forgotten? The reason is plain-the
article did not fulfill the promises Of
the manufacturer. This applies more
particularly TO a medicine A medi-
cinal preparation that has real cura-
tive value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy
is recommended by those who have
been cured. to those who are in need
Of it.
I'm an Interview on the subject
prominent local druggist says: Take
for example DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root, a preparation I have sold for
many years and never hesitate to rec
ommend, for IN almost every case it
shows immediate results. as many OF
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that know Of has so
large a sale"
The success OF Or. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder diseases. corrects
urinary troubles and neutralizes the
uric acid which causes rheumatism.

SHORT STORIES OF THE DAY
4TWO BY TWO.r

The late John f. Dryden was the
shrewdest insurance man Of his time,
said an insurance agent Mr.. Dry
den was intensely interested in his
work He liked to give advice to
agents.
Advising me one day, he said an
agents success depended on the bait.
His bait must be plentiful. He would
fail If it was like Noah's.
Like Noah's?" said !.
Then Mr. Dryden related dia-
logue he had heard in Sunday school
when he was a student at Yale. The
Sunday school teacher asked little
boy:
"How did Noah occupy himself in
the ark?
He occupied himself fishin',' said
the little boy.
A very reasonable answer, said
the teacher, smiling.
But he didn't catch nothing said
the little boy scornfully.
"'No?' said the teacher, why not?
Hadn't enough bait said the lit
tie boy-'only two worms "-Phila-

DIR. WILEY's VICTORY.

IT HE ever fighting Dr. Harvey w Wiley chief
Il Of the Bureau Of Chemistry Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, has won a victory that he
u'dy well feel proud Of The efforts of his enemies
to scalp him have proved unsuccessful On the
other hand, the report Of the Congressional Com
mlttcc in which members Of both parties unite,
exonerates him of all charges Of maladninistra-
ton brought by coterie of conspiratofs who
thought they could have Dr. Wiley removed, de-
spite the serious protests of his friends who arc
legion throughout the country, friends and sup
rorters Of DR.. Wiley simply because he has shown
himself TO be public servant anxious to perform
his duties in a conscientious manner amid most
trying circumstances and surroundings.
The country owes much to DR.. Wiley and it
really cannot pay The debt. The doctor may nave
mode some mistakes. but they are very few in
comparison TO the good he has done for the cause
Of pure foods in these United States. His opinions
have sometimes been questioned by the Remsen
board, but they have been upheld by the food eX
perts in the old countries.
Dr.. Wiley is at last completely victorious in his
aye yearss fight against the poisoners and adul-
fcratofs or food and drink adedby their attorneys
and friends, so-caed experts and all those who di
recry or indirectly profit by the traffic in adul-
terated foods.
The Pure Food and Drugs law went into effect
on January T. 1907, after some years OF agitation
the law at its face value and at once began Wig
orous effort to enforce it TO the letter. lmmed-
lately he brought down upon his head the wrath of
the cmbalmed beef men and the vast army of
dope-sellers and food sophistioators. They exert
ed powerful influence, they had strong friends at
court and for a while it looked as If the Bureau
OF Chemistry would be turned into a laboratory
for nullifying the most important provisions of
tie law. Secretary Wilson was inclined TO be in
dulgent chemists found chemical excuses and law
yers found legal excuses. But DR.. Wiley was no
compromiser He did not handy words. The more
opposition he encountered the more determined
became his efforts TO enforce the law and to rout
the sophistcators And the war to protect the
food and drugs of the public ragged for five long
years
Last year the enemies of DR.. Wiley thought
they had caught him in trap. They circulated
stories Of alleged irregularities in the employ
ment by Dr.. Wiley of some assistants. The charges
looked big only for a minute, but when examined
they proved to be a boomerang. The enemies of
Wiley we're routed in confusion. The report Of
the Congressional committee is blow between
the eyes for them, and Dr.. Wiley will continue in
his good work
The public will forget any eecentroities he may
have, remembering the character of the opposi-
lion he has encountered. Ii is to be hoped that
the work Of DR.. Wiley has only begun. The food
roisoners have not been killed. The snake has been
only Scotched.

WHY HE ASKED.

Having stopped off at way station,
the bridegroom was approached by
the station agent who asked:

train?

ed the bridegroom. Indignantly. as he
guided the bride up the platform,
where they condoled with each other
over the impertinence of some of the
natives.
Onward came the train, its vapor
curling from afar. II was the last to
their destination that day-an ex-
press. Nearer and nearer il came at

CHRISTIAN BRIDGE.

TUST why the Levy Court has seen fit to select
a site other than Fourth street for the pro-
posed new bridge over the Christiana river is not
apparent to the general observer nor does it seem
TO carry any appeal TO the public
Fourth street seems to be logical site for the
proposed bridge as it would provide a continu.
ance of the widest thoroughfare Of the city into
South Wilmington. with IFS tremendous possibili-
ties for development and its advantages for in
dustral sites for growing municipality. A
bridge at Fourth street would obviate unnecessary
turns for heavy traffic, and at the same time would
preserve for park purposes the land between
Fourth and Third streets that under the present
plans, is TO be taken up for approaches at high
cost. Fourth street wharf is owned by the city,
and much OF the cost of land for approaches from
the western side OF the river at least could be saved
by utilizing the street bed in a manner 10 pre-
serve rights of ingress and egress Of properties
along the street.
The Levy Courtmen may nave some good rea-
SONS tor choosing the bridge site now under con-
sideraton in preference to the Fourth street site
If they have, the reasons should ne presented
more clearly than any yet given by the court
members, for public sentiment is crystazing
about the query Why in no uncertain way.

MILWAUKEE SOCIALISM.

THE Socialists have obtained so strong grip
Il on the city Of Milwaukee that the Demo
Gratis and Republicans will form fusion in order
to defeat them if possible
The campaign will be interesting. Mayor
Seidel, the Socialist who was elected in the three
cornered fight, has been renomnated, and the op-
position has decided to take no chances in a new
threecornered contest, but the battle will be be-
tween the Socialists on one side and their oppo
nens OF the old parties on the other.
The outcome depends upon nwhethef the Old par
ties can maintain their strength in fusion ticket
and whether of course, the Socialists can hold the
ground gained at the last election.
So many conflicting reports have been made as
TO the Soeialistc administration in Milwaukee that
it is difficult TO reach fair conclusion about its
merits or demerits, but il is safe to assume that
Sociastic administration of city means an in
creased tax rate, for Socialism essentially calls for
greater government actvity--that is paternaism.
Much depends upon the candidates put forward
by the opposition to the Socialists. If the inter-
ests or bosses Of the old parties merely to get
together to restore old conditions and to divide
spos on a partisan basis the chances are that the
Milwaukee Socialists will again be successful.

sERMONs AND IMPRESSIONS.

Ohio State Journal.
In listening to a sermon or other ad-
dress, there is this to be said: The
next day, or perhaps the next hour,
one cannot accurately report single
thing that is said. One may give an
impression, in very imperfect way
perhaps, that the whole discourse has
made upon him, but as to any definite
instruction, that is almost universal
ly lacking.
A man will say, that was fine ser
mon" but to quote a line from it ac-
curately is quite impossible That has
been our experience. We will feel the
glow of an idea, maybe, but just what
that idea is we cannot say. Perhaps It
is not necessary Perhaps it is well
enough TO feel only the influence Of
what was said.
Still, one should learn something
definite from every sermon he hears.
There is never sermon that has not
something in il worth remembering
One need not agree with it altogether
but il it is sentence or a thought
that has a beauty, a harmony, au -
peal in It, it is worth calling to mind

There are still many people who

that theory was generally accepted
Medical men nowadays hold to the
contrary rs
Professor Hawk and his pupils at
the University Of illinois have been

years, the correctness Of the current
attitude toward the question, with re-
suits that upset the oldfashioned the

The direct experiment Of 'water-

the general conclusion from all the
findings was that if water IS taken
with meals there is better digestion
and a more complete utilization Of
food. A pronounced Improvement in
the digestibility of fat was also noted.
of course there is nothing in the
results of the experiments to war

use OF large quantities of water. Nor
is there to be found any excuse for
drinking ice-cold water. The Illinois
experiments show that our ideas with
regard to the drinking Of water must
