gestions. He has arrived at the con
clusion, after careful consideration.
that the correct method of renting
farm is for the landlord and the
tenants TO share equally in everything
raised on the farm, including stock
as we'll as crops Mr. George figures.
taking $4,000 farm as a basis. that
the taxes, insurance and repairs will
amount TO about $500. and that the
cost of labor TO run a $4,000 farm,
VIII about equal this amount. AS the
landlord gives to the tenant the farm
land from which to make living
!, Is only fair that the cost Of run
ning the farm should be offset by the
repairs, insurance and taxes on that
farm. The tenant. of course, is 10

ply the necessary implements for
carrying on the farm
All the stock is TO be owned equ-
ally by the landlord and tenant and
the increase from this stock Is 10 be
divided equally between the landlord
and the tenant and the two are to
participate equally in everything
grown on the farm Surely this is
q fair proposition and one that should
appeal to the thinking man. This
move of Mr. Georges will be watched
with a great deal of care and if it
proves a success, it should be adopted
by not only the landlord but by the
tenant, and willingly by the latter
This method Of renting of farms is
not an unjust one to the tenant be-
cause the land owner gives the tenant
the land on which the crops are
grown that he feeds his stock with.
The landlord gets nothing out of this
and II is only fair that he should be
given an interest in the stock, par

LOCAL OPTION AND ms EVASION.

ftWN ~ VI tAWN NM AtS & ffRrANAs
From the Milford Chronicle.
4 is probably Just as well for the
people OF Delaware 10 nave the whis-
Key question brought lp for adiud-
cation and regulation IN the form OF
laws which will be able TO enforce
what their intent may be. After
several years Of prohibition the peo-
pie Of lower Delaware have found
that the moral and civil conditions Of
the entire community are far better
than they over were under the old
licensed saloon laws Il has also
been clearly demonstrated that there
are ways 10 evade any law which may
be placed upon the statues, and that
the profit in selling liquors IS a
strong force that compels the service
OF the best legal minds to circumvent
restrictive laws IT will be well for
tho people to meet this question
fairly and squarely at the next ses-
sion Of the legislature, and take such
action as will either continue the i'm
proved conditions, or admit defeat
and permit organized LIQUOR interests
to throw wide the doors of the
saloons once more
the gauge on battle has been
thrown down, and the temperance
people Of this state from now on must
arrange for campaign OF education
az TO effects of the business not only
upon the people, but upon the moral
standing Of the communities and the
home. The Hazel Law had been ef-
fective in stopping the greater part
oi the Illicit business. but Il had given
undue license 10 ministers and ply
sicians according to the ideas Of
many who favor local option. and
that could have been adjusted by
legislation. but the decision of the
courts is now opening the conditions
which caused the people to demand
the passage of the Hazel Laws.
In very few years there will be
a national option law which will give
full power 10 the states to regulate
the liquor business within their
limits, and effectively prevent the i'm
portations of liquors within the state
boundaries in the meantime Della
ware temperance people will have
to fight to hold their present restric-
tive laws, and enforce the local op-
tion regulation of the sale of liquor
in Delaware.

Traps or no traps. the speeding Of

Some farmers of Queen Annes

DELAWARE AND STATE BANKERS
From the Dover State News

from the Dover state News
The meeting Of the state Bankers
Association at Lewes last week we
regard as one of the most encourage
ing events which has ever taken
place in Delaware. The impressive
and optimistic speech of President
Nields of the association we esteem
as more than forecast: II is a
prophecy of which we may await the
lulfillment. We may reasonably re-
gard the statement that the capital
Of our banking institutions will be
doubled in the next ten years coming
as the prophecy does from such a
source, as something which appeals
to the imagination and the enthusi-
asm at the same time
Delaware needs capital and It Is
inspiring to hear from the bankers.
those who make their life work a
study Of the possibilities Of the rails
ing and investment Of money.
promising Is that which we SO much
reed. Some OF us have been trying
TO appeal to the imagination Of the
people of the State. We have been
trying to conjure with the wonderful
possibilities and thereby awaken the
Dortunities. Sometimes IL appeared
an idle task Often it vas discourag-
ing but the meeting of the State BAN
Eers Association has given our hopes
another and new impetus.
We read carefully all that was said
and we regarded what was done and
the more important optimism that
was based fundamentally on what we
have been saying and doing as a
response 10 the work that was begun
more than year ago and was first
effectually launched exactly one year
ago when the Peninsula editors din
ner was held at the Hotel DUPONT in
Wilmington
Delaware needs the recognition Of
q mutuality of interest among It's
people and then il only needs a SEN
sible basis Of cooperation. The re-
cognition of the mutually oe interest
is being recognized The meeting Of
The State Bankers Association de-
monstrates this. If that meeting at
Bewes said anything more than an
other il emphasized that there was
a recce ls ion Of mutuality of i'm
terests between the several sections
OF the state.
There was more than this recog-
milton however The forecast Of in
creased capital and increased funds
points towards both thenecessity and
the possibility Of cooperation. More
money means more TO do the many
reeded things in Delaware. All that
Is needed now the way we see II is
I fer the needs OF the State to be
reasonably made known. This will
be done in the near future and the
Delaware State News Is going to do
IFS share and if possible more than
its share
The proper impulse has been given:
the people Of the State are respond
ing splendidly to the efforts which
have been made The making OF
! Delaware is emerging from the realm
OF the psychological and is taking its
place among the real material things
which you may look upon with your
eyes and grasp with your hands
lhat is what the meeting OF the
state Bankers Association says to us
and we know what it says is true.
