of United States Senator Mitchell OF
Oregon and of two wealthy land own
ers, Hyde and Benson of California.
From these land cases Burns went
to San Francisco to dig amid the mass

In sending Mayor Schmitz to the peni.

Burns, Notwithstanding the nature
of his profession, has strong belief
In the integrity of human nature.
There never was a time," he says,
when the moral sentiment of the
people was more easily and quickly
aroused than at present, or when
there was a finer sense Of honesty in
the various relations of daily life.
Even bad men want good govern
ment-if they are not making money
out of bad government. Nor do | be-

and write essays, but coming right

is a better test than philosophy or
long tables of figures, know that

Intellectually, Burns is the most re-

NO LA WNORTH OF 63
 SAY CANDLE CREEK MINERS

{ Continued from page i) their grip on the Alaska fuel
 measures.
 Candh creek was discovered 10 years ago, and coincidcnt with the discovery of gold, coal was found on Chicago creek, a few miles distant. Naturally the miners be- gan to burn the coal to thaw the Frozen gravel, as we'll as for cook ing and other domestic purposes. |When the coal land was with drawn from entry in 1906 by former President Roosevelt, an |agent of the government notified these miners that they were de- flying the law-that they could not mine the coal-that it was illegal, etc., but the miners kept right on attending tO their knitting. Every year they took out few hundred tons of coal and a few hundred thousand dollars in gold dust.
 Then special agent appeared. He reiterated that they couldn't mine the coal because it was against the law. The miners showed him a notice posted in
 very saloon which read: "Thcre $ never law of God or man which runs north of 53. This is 66.2O." The agent hurried back and re- ported. The miners kept on min ing.
 Then the special agents of the ultra-cOnservationists decided that these Candle creek miners were not selling any coal and were not interfering with the lucrative graft enjoyed by the Eastern coal interests, and that for the pres ent, anyway, it would be just as we'll to let them enjoy themselves. If they were getting any fun out of il. why, they weren't hurting any body. and what was the use of stirring up a muss with lot of

SEN, CURTIS LED
 POPULAR VOTE
Regular Republican Candidate Beat Bull Mooser 10000 In
 Recent Kansas Primary

l Query: If Roosevelt cant beat Taft in Kansas can he beat Will son anywhere?
 Curtis, regular Republican, pollcd 10000 more votes for sen atOr in Kansas than Stubbs, Bull Moose candidate. Press dispatch es announced last week that Stubbs had beaten Curtis. This twas technically true, because the lvicious primary law of Kansas gives nomination for senator to the man who carries a majority of the legislative districts, which Stubbs did, although he was 1O,- 900 behind on the popular vote of the state.
 Like Colonel Teddy, Governor Stubbs is bawling loudly each day of the week in favor of the rule of "the peepul," but up to date he hasn't declined the Kansas sena- torial nomination in favor of Sen ator Curtis, who beat him 10000. Further evidence that the Roosevelt boom is mostly wind is found in the returns from the First and Third Congressional districts of Kansas, represented by Anthony and Campbell, regular Republicans. All the weight of the ROOscvelt-Slubbs state ma chine, greascd with Perkins steel trust-harvestcr trust money, was hurled against Anthony and Campbell. Result: Anthony was nominated with q margin of 2,0OO and Campbell was 2,500 ahead.
 Particular interest attaches to the result in Campbell's district because he is claSsed by the Col onel as an undesirable citizen on account of a speech he made ridi- culing the Colonel in the House last spring. The Colonel was so mad about it that when he visited Kansas on his harvester trust campaign for the presidential nomination he went into the Third district and slobbered frothy at tack on Campbell, ordering the voters to put the congressman off the map.
 The query still presses: If the Colonel runs third in Kansas in what state does he expect to run first?

So they have been allow ed to keep on mining the coal and incidentally getting rich and en- toying life in a place that is hap pily alcoholic, maltous and nar- cOtic. Candle creek consumes more beer, whisky and cigars per capita than any other city in the United States, but that is incidcn- tai.
 Anyway, Crutcher and his asso- ciatcs are going right ahead, just the same as if they had never heard of Clifford Pinchot. One of them even had the insolencc, when the name of the great founder of conservation propaganda was mentioned, to inquire: "Pinchot? Let me see. Where does he tend bar?"

WISE WORDS FOR FARMERS


On our first page we print the
full text Of q thoughtful discus
sion Of the greatest problem be-
fore our State and especially be,
fore its young men-scientitc
farming, the finest career for a
young man today.
Mr.. Thompson speaks from the
vantage ground of an experienced
business man who has been high.
" successful, and knowing
whereof he speaks, do so with
authority.
He tells the Delaware fathers
and their sons passing through
college with y view TO profes-
sional careers, that engineers,
civil, mechanical and electrical
are not at a premium; that ''the
field is already so occupied in
these professions that the COM
petition is fierce and the re-
wards small-the supply SC large,
that very often positions of minor
Importance are filed with college
bred men!'
This should make a wise father,
q wise boy, stop and think. What
farmer cares to raise a crop al
ready so overdone that it is a
glut on the market? p?
On the other hand, Mr.. Thomp-
son makes the startling staten ent
that TRAINED agriculturists and
arborculturists are not to be had
for the bidding, and that in hOr'
ticulture particularly, we are
largely dependent on men edu-
Gated in foreign schOols!"
The demands for the first class
is limited and the salaries small;
the demands for the other, unlim'
tied and the salaries large! Is
not the mere statement of Mr..
Thompson's contention an unan-
sWerable argument in support OF
it?
We believe that in a few years
this whole Peninsula, with its
rarely strategic position as tC
markets, and its fine soil and eli
mate, is destined to fill a highly
important Office as a garden spot
to feed scores of the nearby cities
and towns.
We believe that consequent
upon the enormous urban growth
land here in Delaware will greatly
appreciate, and that with the ad
vent of intensive, scientific small
farming, the rewards of Rgricul
ture will be princely! We do moi
doubt that of 1000 Delaware boys
the careers, in the next ten OF
fifteen years, of the farmer boys
will far outstrip those of all The
rest.
Finally, when the speaker
pleads for the upbuilding of {
great agricultural college at New
ark. that will attract student.
from all the states through it,
specializing along lines of scien
tific farming. as other colleges
have done in belleslettres, il
mechanical and electrical engi
neering, and in other specia
ways, he utters. in our opinion
the biggest thought that ha
been spoken or written in thi!
State In the last so years.

IN MEMORIAM

With deep regret, and yet with
an sppreciative pride in his long
and honorable career in public
life, we wish to place our hum BILE
leaf of laurel in reverant memory

thOny Higgins!
His talents, coupled with a
forceful personality. made him a
power in the United States Sen.
ate, and restored to Delaware the
prestige won by her James A.
Bayard and her John Nj. Clay ton.
And but for the evil hand of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
which made his re election i'm
possible, the State would have
been saved the shame of Ad.
dicks, and Senator Higgins lon
ger service would have conferred
further glory upon his State and
the Nation.
