SCORES HIS FELLOW DEMO
Gratis FOR EXTRAVAGANCE

Democratic extravaganza and reck-
lessness We're severely eXcorciated in
sensational attack upon the rank and
file of that party in the House Of Rep
resentatives recently.
Representative John J. Fitzgerald,
of New York, one of the veteran DEM
ocratic leaders, in d remarkable speech
to the Democratic side of the House,
condemned the record Of the Demo
cratic House in the most vigorous Ian
guage possible.
Then he appealed to the Democrats
to "stop the conduct" (which they
had been guilty before it was too late,
and before they had gone beyond re-
call in their record.
"Iou have unnecessarily piled up
public expenditures, until the Demo-
cratic party is becoming the laughing
stock of the country" Mr.. Fitzgerald
minced no words. He said the Demo-
Gratis had absolutely disregarded their
platform promises to the people to
give the country an economical admin
istration of the national government,
but had failed absolutely to keep faith
with the people. He accused them of
having made such a horrible mess of
IL, llldl llS ISll llhS oui hlo
position as chairman of the House
Committee appropriations
Mr.. Fitzgerald's charge that the De-
mocrats had violated another blank in
their platform, did not set we'll on the
stomachs of his colleagues, who are
being accused of another platform vio-
lation in connection with the admins
tration project for the repeal of the
Panama Canal free tolls provision.
Coming from the watchdog of the
treasury, and from one of their own
leaders, the Fitzgerald attack stunned
the Democratic side and no one had
the hardihood to responu.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was evidently think
ing, among other things, of the pas
sage by the House of good roads bill!
calling for S25 100000; the S43, 100000
river and harbor bill; the Alaskan
Railroad bill, which would commit the
government to an expenditure of $685.
100000 and to the increase in eXpendi-
ture generally. He also had in mind
the failure of Democ .atlc members to
stand by efforts made by the leaders
to economic in national expenditures
at might seem strange" said Mr.
Fitzgerald, "to remind members upon
thi side that the Democratic plat.
form pledged in favor of economy anc
the adjustment of useless offices, but
did not say that the party favored
economy at the expense of Republican:
and projected a different doctrine
wherever Democratic representative
could be found.

ONLY THE RICH NEED APPLY.

THE very newspapers, which were
most ardent some years ago in advo-
eating the new primary method of
making nominations to public office,
are now waking up to the fact that
under this new political machinery it
is not possible for anyone but very
rich man to run for United States
Senator or for Governor of the State,
whenever there is the possibility OF a
primary contest to be reckoned with.
That fact has been reasonably clear
to pretty much everybody for some
time 1t is being given peculiarly
strong emphasis just at this ulme by
the aspect of the Senatorial candida
cies in both the Democratic and Re"
publican parties. No one in the Re-
publican party would think of enter
ing upon primary contest with Will
liam P. Jackson for the Republican
nomination, even if anyone had the de-
sire to do so, because Mr.. Jackson's
large wealth would make such con-
test hopeless, and any man of ordin-
airy common sense knows it. The
same condition of things prevails
even more glaringly in the ranks of
the Democracy. There can be no
question that Senator John Walter
Smith is not acceptable to very large
number of Democrats in this State.
Senator Smiths record has not been
one to commend him to independent,
clear thinking Democrats, who regard
him as much more given to subserv-
ing his own selfish political and per-
sonal interests than to representing
the people who elect him. There can
be no question that thousands of De-
mocrats in this State would like to
see some more representative Demo-
crat contest the nomination with Sena-
tor Smith. But who is prepared to
match purses with this millionaire
lumber baron? 1t isSenator Smiths
great wealth which gives him stran-
gle hold on the nomination, and he
knows it. In fact, he very plainly in
dicates that he knows it by the way in
which he asserts lin one of his recent
open letters to Senator Lee that the
nomination is already his and no can
didate can be found against him. That
is his money talking. He understands
perfectly well that primary fight,
Statewide and bruising. would be an
etremely expensive affair and that it
is hard to find in this State the man
who is willing OF able to incur such an
expense in a political contest.
All of which proves that our new way
of doing things is not by any means
so admirable as it once seemed to its
advocates. On the contrary it is de-
plorable. Think of contriving under
the name of progress, a political
system that results in making public
office, not a matter of representative
capacity, but of purely financial rat
ing, system that in a free, represen-
tative Commonwealth, eliminates any
but the very rich from all considera-
ton for public service. We are not
"progressing"; We are going back
ward in our political conditions in this
State and the people ought 10 demand
a change of methods.

take amusement in soliciting votes on
the floor of the House to overturn the
Committee on Appropriations in it's
efforts to carry out the pledges OF the

wise a disastrous potato trouble.

wise a disastrous potato trouble.
There is no doubt but that the
disease has already reached Della
ware, the Plant PatholOgist having
found the same upon four different
shipments of seed potatoes labelled
from Maine.
The spots or pustles Of powdery
scab are not irregular as a rule like
that of common scab, but are small
er and nearly circular, breaking
through the thin surface skin of the
potato and turning it back like a
rust pustule; the center is brown
and powdery. This disease like or
dinary scab may persist in infested
soil for a long time. The serious
ness of the disease is due to several
characteristics not common to Ordl-
nary scab; viz, powdery scab on
potatoes according to statements
made at the public hearings in
Washington, is not destroyed, when
they are treated with formalde-
hyde and corrosive Sublimate. Also
in storage, especially in spring un-
der warm conditions, the disease
continues its activity, forming can
kers by enlarging and deepening
the infected spots.
The Department of Plant Pth-
ology of Delaware College is desir-
Gus of keeping in touch with pota-
to growers throughout the PENN
sula and it will gladly furnish
franked tags to forward specimens ;
Identification of the distase will be
made and a report sent to the
| grower.

S SCHOOL NOTES

Last Friday afternoon most
helpful and interesting address was
delivered before the Newark High
School by Prof. G. A. Short of
Delaware College upon the subject
Does the Higher Education
Pay?" In the course Of his re-
marks Prof. Short emphasized the
Importance Of thrift and industry,
especially if the young men and
women Of Anglo-Saxon descent
hope to maintain their lead in
America. BY several illustrations
of the careers of successful men the
speaker showed that the Higher
Education does pay, provided that
honesty and cOmmonsense are add
ed as essential elements of success.
The pupils of the Eighth Grade
had been invited over and they as
well as the High School students.
should find in these words of ad-
vice and encouragement, so clearly
and forcibly presented, inspiration
for acquiring for ife's work the
very best preparation attainable.

Quarantine On
Maine Seed Potatoes

The Department of Plant Path
ology of Delaware College again
calls the attention Of potato grow
rrs in Delaware and the Peninsula
to the serious nature Of the pow
derry scab of potatoes. This disease
has secured a strong foOthOld in the
sepd-pOtato districts of Maine, and
since most Cf the seed for our early
market potatoes comes directly
from this northern source, it will
benecessary for us to become aware
Of the serious nature Cf this trOu-
bic. CarefuleXaminatiOn should be
made of all potatoes used for seed
and should the presence Of a new
form of scab be manifest, speci-
mems should be submitted to the
UPlant Pathologist of Delaware
College, Newark, Delaware.
This disease is considered 50 SER
iOus that the Federal Horticultural
Board has issued a notice Of quar-
antine on Maine seed to become eff

hibits shipments from infested
land and further quarantines all

TO properly work out the scope
of this movement. it is necessary to
be assured of financial support for
a period of not less than three
