THE CAUSE

TNEFFIC4ENCY is one of the prime
causes of the high cost Of living. If
you pay man 20 cents an hour for his
work, and he loafs away two hours a
day, which may do, you actually pay
him $500 for 81. 80 worth of work. And
then to make up the loss you charge
the 20 cents to somebody else, and he
passes over the debit to other people.
Thus one faithless man spreads wide
the loss, while everybody recoups by
charging him more for his goods and
for his time. While shiftless work may
make demand for more work, it is at
the expense of everybody else, including
the worker. This is plain as practical
matter, but as moral question it is
easily discernible. Ineficiency is dis
honest, and dishonesty is costly. If a
man is paid for work which he doesn't t
do, there is loss that the man himself
must make good in some way. He may
not pay back that day, but he will some
day in some way, or God doesn't run
this world. If man wastes the time
for which he is paid, and thinks he
makes by it, he is a fool.

JAILS NOT NEEDED

nent citizens is former Coy. John P, St.
John, the man "who dried up Kansas
in 1880, and who will be more gener-
ally recalled as a one time Prohibition
party candidate for President of the
United States: Grape juice is the
strongest beverage that is dispensed
in Olathe; the town drunkard died many
many years ago, and the town jail has
been rented out as garage, because
no one breaks the law in Olathe, and
for that reason there are no prisoners
to put under lock and key. Boys are
not allowed to smoke cigarettes, the
curfew rings promptly at 9 O'Clock and
on Sunday everything is closed except
the 16 churches. It is said that even
these are not needed by the citizens,
but are used to convert sinners from
neighboring town. There may be other
unknown paradise located in some other
part of the country that will compare
with Olathe, but we doubt it.

HURT BY OWN ENGINE

Twenty-secone street, a firemen on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, fell from a
shifting engine in the yard at Seafard
Monday morning and was run over by
his own engine, the left leg being cut
off above the knee. He was placed on
the train, arriving in Wilmington at
IL. 19 o'clock and was taken to the
Delaware Hospital, where his leg was
amputated.
Campbell was standing on the front
of an engine of the old Cambridge and
Seaford Railroad, now branch of the
Delaware Railroad, oiling valve while
the engine was running to clear the
track. for an approaching passenger
train. In some manner he missed his
footing and fell in front of the moving
engine. The engineer saw the accident
and made an effort to stop the engine
but was unable to do so before Camp
bell had been run over.
The injured man was taken to the
passenger depot and DR.. w. F. Haines
and DR.. H. B. Manning were summon
ed. After stopping the flow of blood
and administering stimulants they
ordered the man taken to the hospital

reports he is declared to be out of dan
ger.

IN DELAWARE CITY

DELAWARE CITY, Del, July 13.-
Sometime during last night three houses
on Fifth street were entered by some
unknown thieves. Entrance was effect
ed in the same way in all three houses,
and it is thought that the robber or
robbers were after money, as in two
houses they did not take anything, but
seemed to be after money.
Entrance was effected to the home of
Arthur w. Hope. either through the
cellar or a back window. 1t is probable
that the latter means was used as there
was a screen in this window and tn e
entrance could have been made easily
No one in the house heard anyone during
the night, as only the first floor was
hunted over by the intruders. Money,
to the amount of $5 was obtained from
desk and sideboard, on the first floor,
a grey sweater, rain coat, coat PAIR of
shoes and class pin belonging to Mr..
Hopes son was also taken. This pin
had I'D. C. H. S., IA" on it, while on
the back of it were the initials A. H
The robbers left a good coat, which
had been worn by the intruders. This
coat, which was of dark color, and of
good material, was somewhat spotted.
1t is thought that an attempt was made
to take pair of boots hanging in the
cellar-way, but seeing that they were
too heavy they were dropped. This
house is located on Fifth street, near
Clinton street,
The home of Benjamin F. Eisenberger
was next entered. Entrance was eff
fected through the cellar. Nothing has
been missed, but it is thought that the
thieves were also after money here, as
they rummaged through a number of
places in an effort to locate money. No
one in the house heard any noise, while
the thieves were in the house. This
house is located next to the home of
Thomas ]. Whiteman, which is on the
corner Fifth and Clinton streets, and
which was also entered. Entrance was
gained in this house through back
window. Nothing was taken and it is
thought that the thieves were also after
money in this house.
Constable William F. Oakes was noti-
fed Immediately Of the robberies and
started on hunt for the guilty parties.
There are several clues that he is work
ing on, and he hopes to make an arrest
in a short time.

sIpDLETowN. DELE july Is, lsl4
that CORRUPTION TALK

livery EVENING implies that
Z without an available corruption
fund the Republican party could not
carry Delaware. Our neighborhas had
so much to say about corruption that
we are inclined to think it almost be-
lieves that there would be no Republl-
can party in the state were it not for a
so-called corruption fund. We have ad-
nitted that money has been illegally
used in the past by the Republican
marty in the state but we do not think
that the Republican party would be
stripped of its fighting qualities II II
had no money to expend for other than
legitimate purposes.
For some years past the Democrats
have controlled the prosecuting machi-
nery of the state. If, for instance,
during the last campaign the Republi-
cans employed huge corruption fund,
it is strange that so alert and vigilant
an attorney general as Mr.. Wolcott,
aided by a corps of deputies familiar
with politics in the state, did not un-
earth the violations of the law and
bring the offenders to justice. Certain
Iy if there had been widespread viola
tions there would have been numerous
prosecutions. Mr.. Wolcott either ne
elected his duties, was unable to get
evidence or there was not wholesale
and illegal employment of money. We
do not for a moment think that Mr..
Wolcott neglected his duty, and the
conclusion therefore is reasonable that
there were no fragrant fractures of the
law.
Under adverse circumstances for Re
publicans, with the Democratic party
militantly aggressive, with the Repub-
licans handicapped by having national
committeeman whose loyalty to the
nominee of the party for President was
questioned, with split in the Republi-
can party caused by the formation of
the Progressive, and with bunch of
friends of the national committeeman
trying to make a bad situation worse by
attempting to sandbag the legitimately
nominated candidate for Congress, the
Democrats crawled through on their
state ticket by trifing majority.
Is it not reasonable to suppose that
with the situation for the Republicans
this year much better than it was dur
ing the last compaign that the Repub-
licans, under aggressive and united and
sensible leadership, would have far
more than an even chance of winning?

It is a wonderful story based upon his toric events of the time and a rev elation on the moving picture screen that no number of reading pages. nor no expense of stage setting for the theater night approach.
 "The Gun Maker of Moscow" in two reels. comes to the Royal tonight and tomorrow night. with matinee to- day at o'clock. It will doubtless be greeted with very large attendance end will deserve this. Besides the Gun Make" there is Pathe's Week ly No 72. depicting many current events of large interest all over the civilized world "The Schemers" is a Vitagraph comedy, featuring John Bunny and Flora Finch, which is all that is necessary to make it certain that you are going to laugh if you see this picture. for they are the two greatest fun makers of the age.
