One reason for the increase Of trade,
as expressed by the busy Broadway
merchants, is that the cheaper rent en-
ables them to offer their goods, at

TIMES IS SARCASTIC
Calls Progressives "Republi-
can Half-breeds."

The New Castle Times, Democratic.
calls the Wayne county Progressives
Republican half-breeds" in the follow
ing editorial:
The action of the Wayne county
Progressive committee in deciding not
to place a separate ticket in the
field but to support the Republican
county ticket, should be needed by the
Democrats of that county. 1t is a
plain admission on the part of the Bull
Moosers over there that their organi-
cation is part and parcel of the Re-
publican party-a mere tail to the G..
0. P. kite. Certainly no thinking
Democrat will be attached to such Or
ganization. 1t is unfortunate that
there is no Democratic newspaper in
Wayne county to expose the trick of
the schemers there who are trying to
get Democratic converts to Progress
sive movement and then turn them
over body and britches to the Republi-
can organization. In Wayne county
the Progressives have decided to be
half-breeds, that is, half Republican
and half Bull Moose. So long as they
feel that way about it there will be
no defections from the Democratic
ranks in Wayne county.

MAKES HIS REPORT
TO STATE ALLIANCE
Advocates Germans Teaching
Their Children the Native

In his annual report to the German
State alliance, which convenes at La

their children the German language.
He is a member of the school com
mittee of the alliance, which last year
Investigated the extent to which Ger.
man is taught in the public schools of

tee will favor the teaching of more
German in the public schools.
His report in part, follows:

bers. 1t is our purpose to work for an
increased membership and to oppose
the formation of further German so
cieties in Richmond. We believe that
two strong societies will be able to
accomplish more than a number OF
small ones. 1t is deplorable that many

pose all good movements. They lack
national pride and a desire fol
lofty ideals.
To Attain An Ideal.
"As a national society we have en-
gagged in "Kulturkampf' To attain
our ideal we must never cease teach
ing our children German. We are
glad to note that the subject has beer
agitated in our socities and hope that
the topic will be discussed thoroughly
at the state meeting. German can also
be taught by concerts.
Besides advocating the teaching oi
German, l again call attention to the
necessity and value of teaching Ger
man songs. The work of the Maen
nerchor makes for this ideal. German
instruction. song and poetry and Ger
man courage facilitate our work.
Relative to personal liberty, wish
to state that am opposed to the man
ner in which intoxicants are sold In
America. If the laws of the state dc
not soon insist that saloons be operat
ed without curtains to hide bars, the
time will come when those Of US who
favor personal liberty will oppose the
saloon system.
