Why They Need the Wheat
c. D. Yetter gave an explanation of
why the farmers of the western coun-
ties are in need Of assistance at the
present time He said: In the season
of 1911 there was total failure of not
only the wheat but the forage crop.
The winter of -1911-1912 was the most
severe ever known and the farmers
were compelled to buy feed. They
paid from S13 to $23 a ton for hay

mpoRrANT QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION.

F OUR important public questions viii come up for
discussion at the smoker Of the Chamber of
Commerce to be held in the Rose Room of the Hotel
Dupont Monday evening. 1t is desired, therefore.
that all the members of the Chamber shall be present
full and free discussion is requested by Josiah
Marvel. the president and his associates
One question relates to street paving. 1t admitted
by the city officials that many streets which should
be paved cannot be improved the city hasn't
the money that would be required it, The propo
sition is that the owners of abuttng property
shall pay by direct material part Of the
cost of such paving. 1t is by means a new plan.
It's proponents have endeavored heretofore to have
it put into effect Adverse public sentiment however
has prevented IT,
The argument used by those who oppose the plan is
that is fair to impose such direct burdens upon
the owners of property unpaved streets when such
already have assisted. through general taxa
ton, to pave those streets that now are inn
proved The reply to that heretofore las been that
such plan must be consented by the property
owners or the streets must remain unpaved. It may
be that the discussion on Monday evening will throw
new light upon the subject
Other questions which will come up at the smoker
have to do with the proposed city appropriation for
municipal development work, the $1.OO0O00 guaran-
tee fund for the encouragement of new industries in
the field. and the steps that should taken by
the Chamber further the effort to have the Gov
ernment armor plate plant located in or near viii
mngton II will be seen, therefore that the meeting
will have an exceedingly important bearing upon the
future of Wilmington and that it will be worthy of
being participated in by the members.

THE MHIPPING POST.

To The Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL:
Sir:-We have carefully read your
editorial Of November 29, last, upon
this important subject. one of great
weight to all citizens OF this com
monwealth. We should examine the
subject with care. The question can
not be adjusted by outside interfer-
ence, no matter how distasteful it
may seem to persons who live at a
distance. The whipping post is plac-
ed on the statutes OF the State, and is
a law, and must be obeyed by all cit
liens OF this State. Irrespective of
race OF color. they are compelled to
obey it, in this State. At this present
period It does appear to those OF us
who live in Delaware that something
should be done to strike terror to the
highwaymen who are infesting the
State. in Sussex, Kent and New Cas-
tie counties. If the punishments are
as severe as many claim, then why
does the criminal still operate in our
cities, towns and rural highways? =?
Some persons claim the post was
intended for the negro alone. This Is
not true. Our law has made no dis
tinction. All who come under this
law must take their punishment. re-
gardless of color, unless, in the dis
erection of the court, the lashes be re-
mitted.
We see no reason for harsh criti-
cism at this time. What good will It
do? The Legislature will not meet
until 1915. The law will remain. and
the warden at the Workhouse will be
compelled to carry out the sentence
Of the court Something will have to
be done to lessen the crimes that are
going on, most of which are perpe-
trated by strangers in our midst
Representative Evans may have
meant we'll. but he was greatly mis-
taken when he undertook to drive the
people of this State. Every man and
woman who feels an interest in our
common welfare. should take the time
and patience to study public quest
ions, without disparaging the good
name of the State, and to urge this
matter In the proper spirit before the
1 Legislative body of this State.
We are not acquainted with the
technicalities Of the law, but we do
know that we can accomplish no
good at this time by fighting against
the post.
If we can devise some way to keep
men from committing crimes for
which they now are whipped, we will
put the post out of business by ma
tural process.
Let us help those who see the folly
of their ways and are trying TO re-
form their lives. Let us be found on
the side favoring the ameli0ration Of
their condition by acts. and not so
much on the side OF the fight against

the things we can not remedy. have
attended our courts and found the
judges. in many cases, lenient. Cas-
es that TO a 1ayman were clear. We
can not say that there has been any
partiality shown. Until We see that,
we say. let the law have its course.
I am satisfied the citizens OF this
State win regulate this matter In the
future, as they have others in the
past.
Delaware's chief executive has
shown his philanthropic spirit in
many cases in this commonwealth.
The Board of Pardons has been cour-
teous. We hope the good name OF
our State. Will continue to be hon
ored and respected. and our laws
obeyed. Let peace and harmony
characterize all our actions until a
remedy can be legally reached to sat
isfy the majority of our citizens. To
my mind, this is the proper way out
Of this discussion. We wish to pro-
pagate the welfare OF Delaware, to
be found on the side of doing all we
can to build up every interest Of the
people. Those OF us who are here
know the State and its people, and
their conditions and needs better than
others do.
There are certain conditions that
exist in the Capital OF the nation that
demand the attention of those who
step aside to strike a blow at Della
ware. The critic of Delaware can
gain a national reputation by taking
up those national abuses. Let us be
true to our State, to our people, our
country and our God.

The movement for community
Christmas tree for Salisbury should re-
ceive the active support Of every citizen
of this city and the surrounding terri
tory. 1t is a movement in the right di-
recfion and its successful termination

better idea of what Christmas means.
Ii will be the means of bringing all our
people together on one common ground

Christian spirit in us all.

Christ which may be the means of turn
ing their minds TO better things. A
Christian thought instilled in the young
mind sometimes works out to the saliva

Christmas spirit is a fine thing for a
community and is worth all it viii cost
our people.
The committee in charge of the Christ
mas tree is asking the good people Of
Salisbury TO send in taeir contributions
to meet the expenses Of the tree. 1t Is
hoped that the Civic League viii be able

and If the expenses Of the tree do not
reach that sum the league has some

From the Newark Post.
With this evenings performance New
ark's first Chautauqua comes to close.
Judging from the reception given, it can
safely be pronounced success. The en-
tertainment has been varied to suit the
several tastes, and proved to be of much
higher class than was anticipated. Alb
seAce of reserved seats, expressing Chau
tauqua democracy, brought us all to-
gether with good results. The differ
ence between people is only Just a shade
after all. In the final analysis we are
about the same-iust folks We laugh
at the same jokes-if it's Sears; we smile
between the tears-if it's Pearson; we
use the same conmonsense-if it's
Holmes. The farmers enjoyed selections
from Faust, II Trovatore and Chopin,
even if we didn't know their titles. At
the same time you, cultured folk. en-
ioyed the songs and rural melodies
The Chautauqua has done US good.
We are ON better terms with our neigh
bors, on better terms with ourselves
the world and folks are better than we
knew.
Newark is to be congratulated on the
response given to our guests. The
guarantOrs have right reason 10 thank
the citizens for their support 1T can
be done in Newark is forever after the
slogan for every movement worth wh,'e.
We have clearly demonstrated that
whenever Newark wants anything--she
gets il.
To our mind the Chautauqua has done
ilis good. The week has been one round
Of good natured ellwship-that's always
worth while. Chautauqua makes us bet
ter Americans and here, this week, 1t has
filed well this phase OF its mission.
