What the Conditions Are


Prevailing financial conditions at this
time are of several kinds. One of them
has been briefly mentioned by the distin-
gushed English economist, Sir George
Paish, editor of the London Statist, who
is now visiting the United States. sir
George frankly says that there Is not
available capital in the world sufficient
to meet prevailing demands for it, For
that reason, the borrowing capacity OF
the nations of the world Is considerably
diminished. This is only another way of
saying what sir George stated In a recent
number of the London Statist. All the
world appear sto be seeking fresh capital.
Every week or two there come intima-
tions from China that the new republic
will approach the worlds money markets
for large loans In addition to the loan
recently negotiated.
The Balkan war debt will, ii is thought,
involve as much as 100000 600, perhaps
more In the United States a somewhat
formidable situation Will appear within
the next 12 months. A fairly good estl-
mate of the amount of short-time notes
which will mature within the next IL
months fixes the sum at approximately
$500 000, ,000. These notes must either be re-
newed, and probably at the tempting
rates which 1t was necessary to grant
when they were first negotiated, or else
they must be paid off.
Meanwhile the railway companies of the
United States will be compelled to seek
next year new capital in large amounts
if they are to maintain their facilities
to meet the demands of those
who want to buy transportation.

BUILDING LAW NEEDED

A Building Commission with au-
thority to regulate building lines
and to put a stop to tenement type
of construction in the heart OF the
town, as advocated by one OF our
readers in the Peoples Column OF
this issue, is an excellent idea and
one that needs immediate attention.
This suggestion was made few
years ago. No one disputed It's
merits but by neglect, no action
was taken and ruthless building
without regard to surroundings
are being erected every season.
It is certainly within the pro-
vince of Council and really, the
only commonsense thing to do IS to
provide for some regulation. Many
towns of the size of Newark have
the strictest kind of building laws,
permitting no construction with
out approval and permit from some
With all our recent ideas Of civic
betterment it is unfortunate that
this should be neglected.

CONGRATULATIONS

Congratulations to Aetna F! Hats
off to Fire Chief Wilson and all
his associates! Our best thanks to
the ladies who so generously aided
in making the Carnival Success.
To all, Newark is your debtor.
There is glory enough for you all
and right well have you earned it.
Tired, worn out, some of you, by a
hard week s work, but think what
you have done.
No attempt for civic improve
ment has had the loyal support
that has been deservedly yours.
Although the object Of the Carni-
val was one that appealed to rea-
son and commonsense, it is none
the less gratifying, that you have
had the practical good wishes
from all our citizenship that is
really awake to conditions and
worth while. Little oppositions
and petty comments have added
only zest to the fray.
The Carnival was success and
Newark is assured of modern Fire
Protection as far as Engine is con,
cerned. Look to your laurels,
Councilmen, and furnish the water

SUMMER SCHOOL IMPRESSION

"The Summer School is Sue
cess, Enthusiasm and real work
are the key notes" " Teachers Civ
ing us the things we need, Com
missioner must have been born in
Delaware--he's our sort" He gets
things done, and done quickly.
Wagner is a determined but good
natured booster, - Delaware Col
lege is beautiful place and there s
a spirit here that helps plodding
teacher to love her profession, "
"This Summer School Is well worth
while and only a forerunner Of the
success of the Women Is College" :"
II never dreamed you had such
full blooded enthusiastic men, y
these are only few Of the re-
marks heard about the Summer
School. During this last week, The
Post took the task Of finding out
just how the School stood in the
minds Of the teachers and almost
without exception the comments
are favorable. Not only favorable
but enthusiastically so. Especial
ly is this true Of those teachers who
were not acquainted with the insti-
tuition or its work. The quotations
above are sufficient to tell the story.
Received as expressions Of honest
opinions without fear Of publica-
ton, they show the spirit Of the
School.
Every one admitted that work
was the dominant feature but that
in spite Of the hot weather, the sub
jects had been presented in an in
teresting manner.
"We are jolly good crowd of
teachers glad Of the opportunity
given us by tn State to come to Old
Delaware and the inspiration here
will be Of great help to me through
out the coming year. Certainly a i,
College outlook on life is a big
thing" !,
The reception on Monday even t
ing and rare treats in the lectures |
(reported in another column) Of {
fered will add materially to the /
Of those in charge. b
Surely there is honor and glory to v
,estow and enough to go around. {

out heat or bitterness, vying in
praise of the valor Of each side.
Many of the incidents were such
as to bring a mist before the eyes
and make the voice husky, this es-
pecially being the case at the rail
road station, where many affecting
scenes took place-the parting Of
long lost and newly reunited COM
rades and the saying goodbye to
newly found brothers. Southern
ers went North, and Northerners
went South, showing how complete
ly the two sections have merged.
All this went to make up an impress
sion that will be indelibly impress
ed on the memories Of the thou
sands Of visitors and sightseers, i'm
parting a wholesome and far reach
ing moral.
The cordiality with which the
Northern veterans received those OF
the South, far surpassed the great
est expectations Of wearers Of the
Gray. Instead Of being met by
'victors they were met by brothers.
And the effect of that welcome will
be far reaching, eradicating all
traces of animosity and rancor and
obliterating sectional lines.
1t is well that this field should be
preserved as it posses high educa-
tional value. Located in a section
endowed with many scenic merits,
the beauty of the field has been en-
hanced by the best examples OF the
sculptor monument builder s and
landscape artist s art.
But greater than all else is its
moral vaIue-as evidenced by the
reunion of one-time bitter foes, now
bound by common bond Of love
Of country and firm resolve
"that this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom-and
that government Of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not
perish from the earth

pIlch in Amendment Delays
Ratification a Year.

Trenton, N. j., Aug. %. - Woman
uffrage in New Jersey received a set.
back of at least one year through an
opinion by Assistant Attorney General
saskill that the failure to advertise
properly the proposed change in the
tate constitution renders impossible
Che ratification of suffrage by this win
iker's legislature.
The constitution requires an amend
4nent to be adopted by two successive
Aegislatures before being voted on by
Che people, and it was assumed that
he amendment passed by the recent
legislature would be adopted by next
winters legislature.
I The constitution also provides that
hn amendment adopted by one legisla-
ture shall be published in the news
bapers for a period of at least three
months prior to the election Of mem
bers to the succeeding legislature.
/ This means that the advertising of
Che woman suffrage amendment should
have begun Aug. 4. For some reason
the advertising was not so begun, and
Assistant Attorney General Gaskill
holds that it is now too late to begin
the advertising. Hence the amend
ment will have to be adopted by the
1914 and 1915 legislatures before it
can be voted on by the people.

Martin Says Legislation For Lar

tadon Against No.

"The solution of the problem
which is so seriously affecting the
truck industry in Baltimore, is
State legislation requiring larger
tires" says c. W. Martin, a tire
expert.
"City Engineer McCay should
have proposed law prohibiting the
overlooking of motor trucks instead
of suggesting that motor trucks be
barred from certain stress in Bal
timore.
"The motor truck, with its won
derful and unparalleled growth, has
become an economic necessity, and
such restriction would work hard
ship on society. If there were leg
islation requiring that certain
width tire should be used to take
care of the load, there would be no
danger of cutting up the streets.
"Overloading is the most serious
problem that confronts truck own
ers today. The evil is so prevalent
that l would not be at all sur
prised to see some such bill intro
duced at early sessions of many
State Legislatures. Such bill,

Farm Demonstration Work In
Dorchester.

This work has been in successful
operation in the counties of South
ern Maryland the past two years
and it is now proposed to extend it
to any other county of the State
where the people are willing to
take an interest and raise the
necessary funds The National De-
partment of Agriculture will fur
nish a man, pay half his salary, and
supervise and direct his work in
any county where the people will
raise the other half of the money.
The county agent must be a
practical farmer, who is acquainted
with the people and conditions OF
his county, and who is in general
popular, progressive and practical.
His duty is to induce the farmers
in each neighberhood to grow the
crops best adapted to the region, in
the best manner, and at the same
time provide for maintaining and
increasing the fertility of the soil.
He does this by means of demonstra-
tions, conducted by the farmers
themselves, on their own farms,
under the instruction and supervi-
sion of the agent. These demon
stration plots may be of any size
that the farmer wishes to grow or
of any crop, not less than one
acre The agent selects them so
as to have examples of good farm
ing in every neighborhood, that
are convenient for him to get to,
and that may be seen by the peo-
pie in their everyday life. No
very elaborate or complicated plan
of work is attempted, and no very
expensive outlay for implements or
fertilizer in excess of the ordinary
practice of good farmers. Nothing
experim entail is attempted. The OBJ
ject is not investigation, but to
get into general use those methods
and practices which have been well
tried and found to be generally sue
cessful.
In order to raise the necessary
$500 in this county, it is not thou
ght best to ask large contributions
from any person or association, for
everybody will be benefited, and
the more people we can get to
give small amounts, the more will
feel a personal interest in the
work. In Cambridge, Mr.. ]. G..
Mills and Mr.. Samuel Byrn, the for
mer representing the Board of
Trade and the latter the Grange,
will receive contributions and de-
posit them in bank, OR will take
subscriptions for future payment.
The newspapers of the county will
al publish the names and amounts
lare heartily interested in the move
| ment, as are bankers, merchants,
hotel men, and everybody who owns
or expects to own land, for it will
enhance the value of all farming
land in the county, and will result
in organizing the farming industry
into more intelligent and success
full business.

Few readers of newspapers fully

Subscribers who do not give ex-

considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions.
If subscribers order a discon-

publisher may continue to send
them until all dues are paid.
