Despite the fact that Delaware
soil and Delaware products are look
ing up, each season of the year
along about this time, there are
number of sales. In most cases
where farmers are making a change
the reason is given scarcity of
help" Isn't it sine that some-
thing was being done to relieve the
situation? The State Board of Ag-
riculture has already attempted to
deal with the help question and
promises to do something for the
farmer in the future. Home labor
should be preferable, first, last and
all of the time, provided of course
it is reliable and dependable, but
if this cannot be had, the farmer is
obliged to import help. The wonder
is that the tenants and owners do not
take the matter in their own hands

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Wilmington Evening Journal sees a
great opportunity to "work for
Delaware. Quite true! With the
natural resources and unexcelled ad-
vantages which our State possesses
there is only need for the right sort
of push and ambition to make the
coming years record breakers for
development. Says the Evening
Journal: "The visit of the gov
ernors of the western States to this
city and other places in the east,
gave an insight into The methods of
the weston commonwealth to attract
home seekers and investors. They
are alive and alert out there and
they get results. They have a
Northwest development League
among other organizations designed
to promote the interests of that part
of the country.
"Mr. James J. Hill, chairman of
the Board of the Great Northern
Railway Company, has issued a
statement advising the western
boomers to adopt the methods of big
business in their work of develop.
ment He says there should be
friendly cooperation and combina-
tion rather than ruthless competi-
tion. There should be a joint i'm
mienRtion bureau instead of a
''.'t'' - Il sir ;sssif!a-tooch State.
0oytYahtf thinks that industrial
and commercial prosperity cannot
be provided by legislative artifice
or by ether political means. This
may be true but legislation can help
prosperity. Good legislation is
much better than bad. Friendly
cooperation is something that could
be applied to other communities in
their quest for material development
as we'll as to the north west.
ga spirit of friendly cooperation
and determined effort would ac-
complish much in Wilmington and in
the remainder of Delaware. If we
could arouse spirit like that which
prevails in the west, Delaware
would attract many new comers and
our city and state would advance at
rapid pace. There is no valid
reason why settlers should seek the
northwest when there are attractions
so close at home as those possessed
by the Delaware peninsula. Mary.

and New Jersey Water Company,
through Raymond, Mountain, Van
Blarcom and Marsh, attorneys, made
an order directing Mr.. Beall to show
cause next Tuesday why he should
not be restrained from disposing OF
notes amounting to S175,00O made by
the complainant water company and
said to be held by him.
The order carries with it a tempo
rary restraining order.
The complainant water company,
which Beall claims owes him $249,-
1876. Sc, on an alleged agreement of
indemnity for losses sustained by
him for money advanced, asks that
Beall also be restrained from the
prosecution of his suit against the
company to recover the amount. The
bill filed by the water company says
that the statement rendered by
Beall," concerning his claim, lis
wholly fictitious and fraudulent.
The water company asserts in its
complaint that instead of its being
indebted to Mr.. Beall for the sum
he asks, it believes If a true bal
ance was cast it would show an
Indebtedness of $3.50. 900 and over"
to the company.
The company asks that 100000 in
it's notes held by Beall be Cancelled,
claiming that they were not legally
issued, and il further declares that
with the notes in possession of Beall
the company would be held respon-
sible for them should he sell them.

The Clearing of a Girls Name.

II the public ever prejudged the case
of man awaiting trial, it prejudged
the case of the clergyman who has con-
fessed to the murder of Avis Linnell.
The preiudgments of our union labor
friends in the case of the McNamaras
were no more decided, even if more vio-
lent, than the prejudices of the average
man and woman who knew anything at
all about the Richeson case. If Richie
son had come to trial and by some ho-
cus.pocus or other, escaped punishment
altogether or been convicted of only
minor degree of manslaughter, the pub
lie prosecutor, no matter how hard he
had worked in court, or how thorough
ly he had prepared his case, might just
as well have closed his books and his
political ambitions for all time. If there
was doubt in the mind of anybody in
regard to the Reheson case, the doubt
was not at all as to the guilt of Richie
son, but as to the ability Of the gov
eminent to bring the crime home to him
legally. 1t is some satisfaction to be-
lieve that this attitude of the public
was due in some part to the conviction
that, before Richeson gave the trusting
young girl the poison which killed her,
he had murdered her morally.
Richesons confession does more than
spare the public the details of sordd
story; it yindicates, in way, the good
name of an inherently lovely country
girl who loved not wisely but too much.
Rieheson was to her the perfect human
being. She looked on him almost as
demi-god and thought it almost pro-
fanation to hear an adverse word spoken
of him. And now, from the grave, her
young innocence comes to bring to jus
ticc the man who killed her. Was there
ever a more remarkable tribute to the
power of trusting young girls good

WAS A FRIEND IN DISGUISE.

The colleges and universities can we'll
afford to be charitable to the memory
Of their implacable enemy, Richard T.
Crane, the Chicago manufacturer who
died Monday night, for Mr. Cranes at
tacks on the higher institutions of the
country only served to accentuate the
good qualities of the colleges and at the
same time gave timely warming
against the tendencies of certain small
coterie of students to be found in every
institution. The trouble with Mr.. Cranes
views was that he mistook this small
band of Indians" for the whole insti-
tuition, and he Judged the institutions
largely by these Indians" There is a
like division in every phase of life, only
the division in colleges is more notice
able because of the fact that the colleges
are in the limelight more. That Mr..
Cranes own son went through Yale and
turned out to be successful in his ia
theirs business is rather strong proof
that the colleges are not thoroughly
discredited

creased patronage from the general pub

ness the larger the yearly check paid to
the municipality The considerably
larger size of Barre's check from the
Peoples Gas company at the close of the
last fiscal year indicates that the busi-

is on the increase, doubtless influenced
somewhat by the franchise arrangement

CURRENT COMMENT
Discussing DeBoer.

The second editorial, discussing Mr..
DeBoer's candidacy for the governorship,
appeared in the Montpelier Journal last
week. If anyone has the patience to
read the two-column effort it will be
likely to impress him above all else
with the idea that somebody who con-
trolls the policy of that paper does not
want Mr.. DeI3oer to be a candidate; and
incidentally that in some way the Mont
pelier gentlemen has not been consistent
in his political position. The worst of
all, however, for anyone who attempts
to follow the lines of illusion and de-
fusion in the aforesaid editorial, is the
promise that there will be something
more of the same sort in its columns in
the near future.-Northfield News.

A BARRIER
TO HAPPINESS
By LUCILLE BARKER
BY LUCILLE BARKER

j There lived in the city Of Philadet
| phia a widower and his son who were
/ always seen together. The father was
a little over forty, the son about TWEEN.
| ty-one The two always dressed alike
| talked alike, acted alike and had the
same opinions on subjects. Those who
knew them intimately spoke Of them
as Dombey & Son, though their name
was Hardwick.
All went we'll between the two till
the question Of the sons marriage
came up. Jimmie Hardwiek fell in
love with a girl who had no means
whatever and If he married her had
not sufficient fortune to keep up his
position in the ultra fashionable gold
en- circle to which he possessed birth
right In vain his father held up to
him the fact that If he made the In
tended match the relations that had
existed between them must cease, the
older man continuing in the same So
cial scale, the son dropping out
Emily Sherbourne was a very sensi-
BILE. practical young woman. She had
no ambition to hobnob with multimil-
iionaires, but she loved Jimmie azd
was loath to give him up. Indeed. she
did not propose to give him up.
The case dragged, poor Jimmie loath
to give up the position In which he had
been born, especially since 1t would
put a wedge between him and his ia
ther. But one day Jim saw signs that
his father was himself contemplating
matrimony. None of the widows or
young spinsters of society seemed to
have attracted Mr.. Hardwicks atten-
ton, for Jim kept watch Of him when
ever they were ''eut," and the older
mans attentions seemed to be general.

TAXING FOR A FRANCHISE.

The city of Barre received this last
year the sum of S49l.62, two per cent
of its gros- 'ceipts, from the People 5
Gas company Gated in that city. So
far as we kno this is the only case
where Vermont municipality has So
cured proper compensation from public
service corporation for granting it the
right to use the city's streets and to do
business within its limits Other cities
and villages will do well to bear this case
in mind when asked to give away fran
chises in the future.-St. Johnsbury
CALIFORNIAN.
We should like to add, too. that the
idea of yearly payment to the city
on the basis of the gross receipts of the
company is not alone beneficial to the
city, but it reacts to certain degree
to the good of the company itself in
increased business. We have heard il
urged by city officials in the past that
because of this yearly payment on gross
receipts, the company is entitled 70 in

OF New Jersey. In this case they rakel
up a letter which Wilson wrote some
years ago while president of Princeton
university, denouncing Bryan and wish

good and always; and, 10 and behold.
Mr.. Bryan takes the tip and publicly
asserts his hostility to Wilson as a
candidate for presidential honors. Now
fine little fight is on in the Demo.

by the defeat accorded Bryan in the
