Colonel p g Buckner yiee-presldent Of the
luPont Powder Company administered to Charles
Johnson Post magazine writer in the current num-

eommend Norman Hapgood, editor Of Harpers for the
fairness Of spirit that prompted him to place at the
disposal Of Colonel Buckner one fun page in that

what gross and inexcusabe injustice had been done
TO the DUPONT Company by Post in his two articles
entitled The Powder Trust and THE Powder Plot

about the whole thing an air Of graciousness that

article, which published in full on Saturday. COL
onel Buckner said, referring to Posts articles
There Is no statement inference or conclusion re-

story is the same. II is waste Of the

ducer and consumer.
And every year the brains Of thous.
ands OF city and town men who want
TO live upon another's labor are worn

ing upon another's labor.
II is very largely on this account
that the cost OF living mounts higher
and higher every year. Two. wears AGO
some millions Of people thought. tRe
high cost OF living was on account of
the high tariff. The Democratic party
came into power and reduced the tariff
until it is insufficient for the expenses
Of the government, yet the cost Of liv-
ing mounts still higher than it then
was. Tie trouble was not then any
more the result Of the high tariff than
it is now the result Of low tariff
The trouble is that there is not
enough direct buying and selling. There
is too much stuff shipped away and
then shipped back again to the place
where ii was raised
We ship our grain in many sections
of the county, to some big market
where it is bought by big mill and
shipped again. 1t is again shipped to
q iobber 0r wholesaler, and again ship
ped to a retail grocer, and then, after
several hundreds of miles of travel mast

Here is a big thing for the railroads,
put bad thing for the farmer. Il is
no small problem TO correct such u
condition, but it exists and it ought to
be corrected.
The whole trouble is that the pro-
dueer does not know where TO send his
goods to bring the best price. He does
not know the condition of the market.
The middleman makes it his business
to know, and that is just where he
comes in.
This is just what the government is
irving to correct in organizing q bu.
reau Of markets. II is to give infor-
nation to the producer as to where
his product can be disposed OF in tie
most direct manner 1t is the govern
ment that must be depended upon to rid
the country of unnecessary middlemen.
In connection with the governments

of municipal markets, and
through these markets much good win

pROTEsTs A DISMISSAL.

From the Lewes Pilot.
The Pilot does not feel that its
main function is to find fault, knock,
and be generally disagreeable but.
when wrong is done we feel that it
is our duty to call attention to the
matter and critieise freely and fear
lessly. Such is our attitude when we
call attention to the recent election
of teachers for the public schools,
when Miss Anna Giles was dismissed
and in her place was put a daughter
of one OF the members of the Board
OF Education. This election was held
at such late date that Miss Giles is
now unable to secure a school for
the coming year. and she was led to
believe, clear up until the recent
election. that she was to be re-elect-
ed. But at the election one Of the
members of the Board Of Eduaction
wanted his daughter to have Miss
Giles position. and she got it, We
like to see person given a square
deal at all times, and Miss Giles was
not given one. 1t is hard to believe
that men like those constituting the
LeWes Board of Education could
stoop so low as to let their own per-
sonal selfishness influence them in
the discharge Of their duties, and
when such condition is shown,
then 1t Is time that an election be
held and members elected who will
look after the interests of the schools
and not their own selfish ones

BACK TO OLD CONDITIONS.

From the Georgetown Sussex Repub-
lican.
II is unfortunate for the two lower
counties that the Supreme Court did
not sustain the decision of the ST.
perior Court In the liquor cases. The
effect of this decision is to make of
no effect the Hazel law and the Webb
Kenyon law in the two lower counties
of this State. The judges sitting in
the Supreme Court decided according
to their best judgment, but, never
theless, their decision plainly defeats
the intention of the Webb-Kenyon
law.
For years the State laws, prohibit
ing and regulating the sale, use and
transportation of intoxicating liquors.
We're made of no effect because
under the Interstate Commerce
clause Of the Constitution the Fed
eral laws then existing and the inter
pretation given them by the courts.
any person engaged III business in
any State could ship liquor into other
States and however stringent the
laws Of that State might be, the
transportation and delivery oil that
liquor was protected by the United
States Commerce laws Maiorities
in States. counties and districts might
vote 1t out, but still it came under
the protection Of our national govern
ment.
The right Of the State under the
police powers thereof to protect it.
self was nullifed by the lack Of ample
provision in our Federal law Such
was the condition all over the United
States, and the people of the States
were literally up in arms demanding
some relief from such an anomalous
condition in a land purported to be
governed by majority rule This in
sistent demand had it's effect upon
Congress and the Webb Kenyon law
was the result. The intention of its
trainers, and undoubtedly of Con-
gress, was to make effective State
laws relating to the prohibition Of
the use, sale and transportation OF
Intoxicating liquors. In other words.
to correct the condition then existing.
whereby such State laws were non
effective for want of such a law.
The decision of our Supreme Court
leaves conditions just as they were

DEALER OUTSIDE
HAS ADVANTAGE.
From the Wilmington Labor Herald
me decision Of the court in the
van Winkle case touching upon tbe
Webn-kenyon law and the Hazel law
creates peculiar situation and ons
that is not likely to prevail after the
Legislature couvenes.
The Delaware court and ALI other
courts that have passed upon tba s,,b.
Ject hold that the Webb-Kenyon law
does not apply to shipments Of liquor
ior personal use. This means that
tne dealers outside of the State can
ship all they please into the state
put the dealers in New Castle county
VINO have paid their money for the
purpose Of selling, are not allowed
to ship and deliver into the lower
counties. In other words. the dealer
in an adjoining State, who paws noth-
ing into the treasury OF our State. haa
decided advantage over our own
citizens and taxpayers, who are IL
censed by our own courts and must
run strictly lawful business houses
or they are liable to punishment un-
der the existing laws This is ali
brought about through the efforts OF
the anti-license forces to put a con-
struction on the Federal statute
which was not intended by those re-
sponsible for its passage.
The Webb-Kenyon law can be used
to advantage in helping to stamp out
the Illicit sale OF intoxicating liquors
in the lower counties. The Hazel
law does not do that, and there can
be no excuse, now that the court has
spoken, for that law to remain on the
statute books Of the State OF Della
ware.
Let the Hazel law be repealed by
a law that will aid in enforcing the
liquor laws of the State and which
will not give advantages to those liv-
ing in other States-who pay no
faxes to our State-over our own
citizens

LAW OF ROADS.
From the Dover. index.

From the Dover. Index
Almost everyone is interested in
road improvement, and every farmer
recognizes the benefit of having the
country build a road along his farm.
Yet there is a woeful lack OF cooper
alton on the part of such farmers.
Everyone knows that road cannot
be maintained without proper drain
age, yet short-siehted farmers not
only cultivate out into the roads and
I'LL up the side drains, where the
roads are upimproved making a bad
condition worse but in some in
stances, have filled up the drains
along the roads that have been built
by the County Engineer at a large
cost OF course the road supervisors
and the county engineer are to blame
for permitting this, but every citizen
has It in his hands to prevent it by
a complaint before a justice Of tho
peace The law is ample and specif-
ic, and is to be found in Section 81,
Chapter 10. Revised Code, and reads
as follows:
" II any person shall eneroach up
on, obstruct or commit any nuisance
in a public road, or shall wilfully OBJ
struct or injure any public bridge,
he shall be deemed guilty OF misde-
meapor. and shall pay a fine, not less
than fifteen nor more than fifty dol
lars, In case Of a continued nuisance
the judgement Shall order him to
abate the nuisance within given
time, and on failure to do so, a writ
OF execution shall be issued to the
sheriff. commanding him to abate
the same"
Attention should also be called to
another violation of State law. Any
persons who allows the trimmings or
a thorn hedge to fall into the coun-
ty road is liable to a fine, but al
most every farmer who still has that
abomination Of fences, disregards the
law. OF all persons farmers should
obey the law as to roads, because
they, if anyone. more than others,
are interested in the country roads.

with keen interest the proposed
amendment to the Federal regula-
tions allowing the shooting Of reed

birds have afforded much sport for
