mol CATCH asuckERs-

From the Middletown Transcript.
j. Frank Alice, one Of the leading
lights in the Progressive party in
lower Delaware, is credited with say
ing that the State ticket was simply
put up to catch suckers" and added
''as for US, we shall vote the
straight Democratic ticket"
In referring to "us" it is presumed
that Mr.. Alice refers to the other
men in Kent and Sussex Counties
who are using their efforts to defeat
the Republican ticket, and turn the
State over to the Democrats.
To substantiate the above state
ment It is only necessary to read the
editorial utterances of the Demo-
cratic press Of the State, many of
them eugolizing the men selected for
the various Offices on the Prog essive
ticket, and advising Republicans TO
support them in November.
If the men back OF the Progressive
movement In Delaware were work
ing for the success of this great ma
tional movement, like the loyal Re
publicans Of Maine, they would not
be willing to throw away the oppor-
tunity of carrying the State for
Roosevelt
But after all that has been done
and said by the men who have inau-
gurated this movement-comes this
consoling fact; there are only few
self thinking men in Delaware who
will be guided by the Allee-Layton
combination, OF the lavish praise be-
ing handed out for their State ticket
by the Democratic press

roo MANY LOAFERs.

AR state is well rid of King Ephram John and his
~ band OF 200 Brazilian gypsies They loafers
and non-producers We have enough of that sort in
Delaware already without any mportatons from
Brazil Agroul tursts in our State clamoring
for steady reliable and intelligent workers, assist
them in planting oultivating and harvesting their
crops. In too many instances, they camor in vain
The countryside is filed with men and women who
are lazy work steadily industriously and who
yet feel that the localities in which they reside owe
them living They worse than the gypsies in
that the gypsies have the grace to keep moving
whereas the classes above referred to remain their
several localities and prey persistently upon their in
dustrious and thrifty neighhors.
What our State needs is an influx of men and women
who arc willing 10 work in agricultural sections
in return for good living wage and decent treatment
If there could be such influx the loafers who now
sit idle while employers clamoring for help soon
would be forced to go to work or TO move away TO
escape starvation We take it that there are thousands
of farmers State who would be delighted to ind
at hand and women whom they might employ
with reasonable assurance that they could be depend
ed upon 20 be on hand the farms when needed
We know Of instances In which Delaware farmers
have given up their farms on the ground that they
could not obtain the labor to till them They also
have informed that within easy walking distance
of those farms we're scores Of men and women who
could work If they would work. but who perferred
10 live handto-mouth existence trusting TO char
y theft when possible and working intermittentlv
when it absolutely necessary.
We have in Delaware conservative commun,tv
which has resented. especially in the rural sections
tho intrusion Of foreign immigrants The situation in
the rural communities has become such, however that
We feel sure the time is far distant when will
be necessary for Delaware agrculturists and hortc
turist to invite such immigrants come 10 our state
and settle. Many of the canneries in Delaware srs.d
are operated by outside labor. The trouble is that
after the canneries close the laborers 90 awav !,
perhaps would be much better for the farming nter
ests Of our State were thrifty and willing new
elements introduced into our rural sections rh.,
seems TO be the only solution when certain native M
ments fail to size up to their opportunities and he
come hindrance rather than help, to the develop

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
When EmerSOn'S Mind Was
STEPPED in Sleep
By Holland.

The late Ainsworth Rand Spofford.
who, for many years, was the iibrSr-
ian of Congress at Washington and
was held to rank equally with the
greatest Of the worlds iibrarians was
an intimate friend of the leading
American writer's Of the epoch be-
tween 1850 and 1880. Occasionally
Mr.. Sporford would entertain his
friends with interesting anecdotes
which set forth personal Characters
tics Of some of the great writer's,
and he was particularly fond Of tell
ing stories which showed even the
greatest literary intellects were in
their personal and daily life very hui
man beings
Ralph Waldo Emerson" said Mr..
Sponord to me. was in the habit of
jotting down thoughts thai came to
him and afterward arranging them
IN sort of commonplace book In
that way he provided himself with
material for many OF his essays.
When he desired to write an essay
all he had TO do was to select the
appropriate thoughts from his jour
nal or commonplace book and then
arrange them properly so that, when
thus assimilated, they would become
single essay.
Emerson always found. when he
entered his study after breakfast in
the morning, that his mind was very
active. This enabled him eacn day,
to set down man new and striking
thoughts in his commonplace book.
He always rejoiced when a thought
tended to reveal to him something of
the mysterious operations of the hui
man mind. The intellect. and the
manner in which it converts its
thoughts into words which can be put
on paper was for Emerson a fascin-
ating subject
zone morning Emerson entered his
library and took his acc
at his desk. At breakfast he had said
to the family group that he did not
know when he had. felt in better
health than on that morning. He
looked forward therefore, to a COM
Portable mornings work at his desk
But when he took up his pen he dis
covered, TO his amazement and alarm,
that his mind was a perfect blank.
"All Of his physical activities we're
in norml condition, but his mind, as
he afterward said to me, seemed 10
be completely supplied. It was alb
though he were leading two exist
ences. for he was perfectly conscious
Of his splendid physical condition,
and his senses we're especially acute
that morning. since ne heard distant
sounds clearly and observed. also,
that his eyesight vas unusually
sharp.
After an hour or two, in which he
waited in yain as he said, for his
mind 10 wake up. he left his desk.
went out upon his little farm and
took a stroll TO the village, conscious
Of everything, even OF the fact that
his mind was still asleep. That con-
dition remained with him during the
rest of the day.
"On the following morning after
breakfast Emerson again went TO his
library. Still his mind was sleeping.
He got up and walked 10 the window.
Suddenly his eye fell upon tree
which his young friend Thoreau had
planted in his yard about ten years
earlier In an instant he was con-
scious that his mind had awakened.

DEMOCRATS COURT DEFEAT.

From the Elkton Wing.
The Democracy's proverbial gift for
political laundering is getting in its
work as usual. That Democracy insists
on throwing away its last chance for
victory by insisting on pushing the
tariff to the fore as the issue of this
campaign" Funny. isn't it, that in all
these years OF chronic defeat the
Democratic party has never been able
to learn the fact that the people of
these United States simply will have
none Of its tariff doctrine BY over
whelming and consistently regular
majorities the American people have
declared at the polls their determine
ton to maintain that system of protec-
ton which has made the masses Of
America the best housed, best fed best
clothed, best educated people in the
world. Ergo, they are not laundering
to swap this condition of things for
Democratic tariff tinkering that is like
~ to prove a veritable Pandora's box
of industrial ills.
President Taft recently vetoed he
wool bill and the steel bill that were
handed up to him by a Democratic
Congress because they disregard the
principal Of protection entirely" That
is the sort Of talk which will help Mr..
Taft with the American electorate. II
the Democrats want to make the tariff
the issue let them. On that issue
they have been beaten again and again
at the polls and OH that issue they will
be beaten once more in November.
william Howard Taft will be re-elect-
l., 10 lravr fsd
Taft. Woodrow Wilson will be de-
feated not because he is Woodrow Will
son. Personalities are not the con-
trolling factors in the preseA' poli-
teal equation. The man with vote in
his hand is going to cast it IN HIS
+ OWN BEHALF The politicians may
argue themselves black in the face,
but the voter knows which side his
bread is buttered on. The business
man knows that business was never
better, the wage Garner knows that
wages were never so high nor work
so plentiful, the farmer knows that
prosperity "laughts In the larder" a.
never before; and if our Democratic
I friends think they can make Roadway
/ by talking tariff reform to these people
/ they are welcome to the hopeless trial.

SLEUTHS TAKE MAN FROM HOLD
 OF SUBMARINE

William Kraberg. an electrician em- ployed in the Lake submarine boat Setal, who was one of the dozen men who experienced close calls from death when the submarine was strand ed on a. shoal near. Atlantic City a few weeks ago, was arrested in the submarine boat by Detective Sergeant Cronan and Acting Detective Simons, this noon, on the charge of abduc- tion.
 Kraberg was apprehended at the in stance of the authorities of Newport News, Va, who want him for turing away from home 16-year-old Paula Bernath, a pretty German girl. of whose ignorance of the ways of the world the authorities of Newport News allege the electrician has taken advantage.
 Kraberg admits that he brought the girl here, but claims he acted merely as her protector, and that he took her from a cruel step-father because of his own wife's friendliness for the girl. She had secured employment in a. private. family in this city. The girl was located by Detective Sergeant Cronan. this afternoon and held in the matron's room at police headquarters. Kraberg had a room in Wall street. Officers from Virginia will be here to- morrow to take him and the girl back.
