Attornoy-General Gray and his chief deputy, Josiah
Woicou, Democratic Attorney General-elect In view
OF the past professions Of both these toward

wareans deem il strange that they do manifest
ofhcia activity get after the Democratic bribers and
see il evidence which will result in conviction can
be obtained
Il is admitted, of course that it is exceedingly diff
cult to obtain positive evidence of such crimes but that
fact should not deter Mr. Gray and Mr. Wocot from at
least making an effort to do something to investigate
these persistent rumors of Democratic corruption in
the two lower counties II may be that they have
to believe the stories told, that in several OF the Kent
and Sussex districts the Democratic cuenants scorned
corruption money to them and returned il to the
men higher up who had sent IT, Why wouldn't il be
well for the two Democratic prosecuting officials to
ascertain who sent tho money thatthc political fairy
story tellers say. scornod? Refusal by Demo-
cratic campaign worker Of political purposes
is such an unusual thing that in itself worthy OF
painstaking investigation
Mr.. Gray and Mr. Wocot should not wait for the
evidence OF Democratic corruption to taken TO them
They should send their and get IT, even though
such Investigation might bid fair work to the disad-
vantage Of party friends This Gray-Wocott policy of
sweet doing nothing should be permitted to con
tnuc Notwithstanding tho fact that the men under

Odds and Ends
The Workers and the DrOnes.
w. C. Van D.

In every new country, or in any
old country in which revolution has
created new set of conditions, the
majority Of the population are work
ers; the drones are practically non-
existent. Under such conditions
the problem of making a days work
produce full and ample provision
for the daily need is reduced to it's
simplest form. AS the country
grows older, or as its emonomic con-
ditions becomes complex, the pro-
portion of the drones to the workers
gradually increases and with that in
crease comes of necessity gradual
ly increasing difficulty in making the
days work meet the days need. In
other words, the greater number OF
drones that the workers ola commu-
nifty have to support, the harder
they will have to work and the less
they will get for themselves.
The mirror., 1912-04-25

This condition has been true of all
previous civilizations and the culmi-
nation Of this condition, lie: the stage
when the drones become too numer-
Gus for the workers to support,
means the end of an epoch.
The so-styled high cost of living
which is world wide,. or at least
world wide as far as the leading ma
tion's of the world are concerned, is
nothing but symptom OF this in
creasing disproportion. The Jews,
who really know more about the
causes that make and unmake ma
tions, and who if they were to be-
come nation again would undoubt-
edly startle the world by their eco
nomic progressiveness, were the only
people who put their finger on the
real seat of the disease prohi-
bltlon of usury IN all it's forms.
Bring this old Jewish law into our
civilization and let us see what it
would do. Bonds, mortgages, in
fact all interest bearing forms Of Sc
curity would be eliminated. The
horde of drones who live on the in
terest of their communications,
would be forced to become either
workers, or at least partners in the
gains and losses of every enterprise.
Bond holders would become stock
holders. All capital would of nee
esslty have to be employed directly
in order to produce more. Those
of the drones who either by reason
of disinclination to invest, or who
for any reason refused to allow their
boards to be used for the general
welfare, would be reduced to the nee
essity of living on their principal
and they would thus become self
eliminative.
Ii there was no way by which
money (the surplus accommodations
of the workers. could be made to
produce more, except by direct in
vestment, the great bulk of the
drones would very soon disappear
and with them the high cost of liv-
ing.
do not wish to imply that this is
the only way in which the drones
could be reduced or that those I
have mentioned are the only drones
there are others, but the enact
ment of law which would abolish
interest in all it's forms would surely
and certainly do a great deal to put
the race on irmer basis of pros
perity. OF course it would mean an
entire change in our civilization, but
at the same time would deprive no
one of anything they now have. As
to the other causes that help to
build up the non-productive or
drone class, most of them are sec
ondary, and they would disappear
in the course of generation or two.

Mr.. w. MORGAN SHUsTER's arti-
Gle in HEARsT's MAGAZINE, dealing
with Russia's outrageous conduct in
the Persian affair calls to mind a
portion of an old poem which ap-
peared during the Crimean war. 1t
tells of Fine Old Russian En-
peror
Who had fine old custom, when
certain times were come.
TO enter on his neighbours lands
with banner and wHh drum;
TO kill, to slay, to waste away, his
cannons were ne'er dumb,
Until the covering army were driv-
en- backward home.''
1t appears that the Little Father"
of the present who dispenses tyrany
and injustice with lavish hand, has
inherited some of the traits of his
royal ancestor, the Fine Old Rus.
sian Emperor" but in the present
instance there is no one to drive his
covering army back to their novels
and poor suffering Persia must bear
the weight of his iron heel. He has
selected defenseless victim this
time and it seems inevitable that at
least portion of Persia must suffer
the fate of Poland.

THE memory of Brigham Young
is sacred to the Mormons, and many
and wonderful are the stories told
of his exploits. 1t is recounted for
the truth that on one occasion he
started out on long overland jour
ney with no money in his pocket,
but that every point where he had
expenses to pay, he found, by put
ting his hand in his pocket, that his
purse had. been mysteriously and
miraculously replenished. It has
never been even suggested that
Brigham might have got his hand
in someone else's pocket.

THE Printing and Publishing in

THE Printing and Publishing in
dustry has cause to congratulate it
self on TIL e great progress it has
made in recent years. According
to statistics published in the March
issue Of the GRAPHIC ARTS. Printing
and Publishing ranks sixth among
the giant industries of the country
in the value of it's productions. The
Meat Packing industry heads the
list with a value of $1,370,56S, 900
on it's products, and following in
order are the Foundry and Machine
Shop products, 81 ,22S,47 900; Lum-
Der and Timber products, 81 1885,
$4,000; Iron and Steel, Steel Works
and Rolling Mills, 1885, ,723 900;
Flour-mill and Grist- t-mill products,
$3.50 ,5S4 900, and Printing and Pub
fishing s737,S76,OO0. The las t
named industry ranks second in the
number of it's establishments, hav-
ing total of 81 ,445 to the 1861
of the Timber and Lumber INDUS
tries. Printing and Publishing is
also we'll up on the list in the num-
Der of wage-earners it employs.
ranking fifth with total Of 258 ,434.
During the period between 1904
and 1909, this industry advanced
from seventh in rank, which posi-
ton it occupied for several years
previous, to sixth, where it remains
at present. The value of it's pro-
ducts are, however, making a rapid
gain, and another advance in rank
is sure to follow within the next
few years.
