FAIR FIELD Ann No FAVOR.

=, rprBIIcAN primaries will be held in this county
N tomorrow They will be featured by fair field
and no favor. There is such wealth Of candidates
or the several officers that strong and popular ticket
Is assured
The situation on the Republican side is very crafty
Ing In all parts of the county there is active spirit
The urinary contests have aroused great public inter-
est not only in them but also in the November cleo
ion That is in striking contrast to the condition that
prevailed in this county prior to the Democratic pri-
mares in which there such party apathy that they
went almost by default
This is Republican year in New Castle county. Mem
bers of the party who aspire to hold Office sense the
fact and are eager for place on the ticket The
vasses that have been by them and their friends
show Republican sentiment in all quarters to be both
strong and healthful. Many Of the candidates feel
that in the present state Of public opinion, Repub
ncan nomination this year will be almost equivalent
to an election
The men who go into the primaries tomorrow should
do so with the high resolve abide by the decision Of
the majority and to give loyal and effective support to
the successful nominees That is true Repubhcansm.
It should be displayed in all quarters. The world
likes a good loser II has little for bad one.
Let an the candidates who interested in the voting
tomorrow bear that fact clearly in mind. The party
win be benefited greatly by spirited primary fight
based upon the principle Of cheerful and loyal ae
quescenee in the rule of the majority as expressed
at the polls.
There can be no doubt that the ticket nominated

many good men in the field seeking the nomina
tions It will be a ticket that viii command the con
fdence the respect and the support not only OF all
Republicans but also of all Independents and Demo

Perhaps it is the complement OF the
sterling German character that it
cannot get the point of view of minds
differently constituted. This is why,
sitter years of experiment, German
colonies are the merest military sta
tions, while British colonies are self
governing commonwealths. This is
why the French of Alsace-Lorraine
are irreconcilable after forty years,
while the British could trust the
Beers with self-gOvernment within
three years of annexation.
II is that German observers see one
side of a proposition with extraor-
binary clearness and fidelity, but do
not see it. IN the round. The German
military party, for instance, believes
that If Turkey declared war upon
England and Russia. Britain's Mo-
hammedan subjects in India and
Egypt would rise. They do not see
that the unrest IN India has been
among the too hastily educated Ben
gals, who are not Mohammedans at
all
In fact, the Mohammedan in India
respects the British but hates the
Eiindu. AS TO the Egyptians. never,
in the thirty-two years Of British oc-
cupation, have the troubles Of Turkey
involved them or moved their SYM
pathies. They are as likely TO rise

will have need of all the credit that
they can obtain to negotiate capital
provision on any terms. Nor in the
reckoning of the railroad problem
should the fact be overlooked that
diminishing supplies of capital are
going to be subjected all over the
world to desperate demands. The
railroads Will have not only to meet
the competition of private bidders
whose credit is not afflicted by gov
ernmental restrictions, but will come
into competition with Governments Of
all kinds, domestic and foreign, whose
offers for capital will be. backed by
the taxing power, from the exercise
of which the railroads themselves
will suffer.
Something like $500. 100000 Of
American railroad securities are in
default today. It is not desirable
that there should be any drastic cur
tailment of dividends, which can only
mean a decrease of public buying
power and heavier pressure of rail-
road securities for sale. in addition
to those which Europe is ready to re-
turn to this country as chance oc-
ours. 1t is even less desirable that
there should be any considerable, ex-
pansion of defaults in railroad in
terest payments.
If the Government will but forth
with shape public policy toward the
railroads along constructive lines
much hardship and worse canrbe ac-
complished by liberalizing freight and
passenger rates, and it is no longer

This also is why the Germans ut

is why they could not see the sim

Critain to suspend naval construction

like a trap, just as vigorous compe-

DESTROYING AN INDUSTRY.

T OUIsIANA is a Democratic State. One of its
II largest industries the growing Of sugar
cane, is on the verge of being destroyed by a Demo-
cratic tariff law which will permit market to be
flooded with foreign sugar produced by cheap labor
Quite naturally the people of that State indignant
and up in To what extent their Indignation may
lead them in November is open question.
We find in the Washington Post interview with
Governor Luther b. Hall, of Louisiana, bearing upon
this important matter. He says:
when the free sugar schedule goes into full effect
the sugar planters of Louisiana cannct afford to
tnue in that business, look at it. / say this not
wthstandng the fact that the price of has gone
up because of the European war and that the sugar
planters in the United States will have good year.
when sugar is on the free list It will be under
the Underwood tariff law Louisiana planters cannot
compete with the foreign production and they will
have to turn over their lands TO other crops The
Louisiana farmers viii have to learn how diversity
their crops. something they have done hereto
yny extent But Louisiana is a fertile State
and if Congress takes away our sugar industry we
shall find other industries.
"Our crops this year are good and will be worth
something like s11O,sS5,OOO, while live stock is
valued at S7OO0OOOO The state department of agri-
culture recently estimated that the crop of
Louisiana this year will be worth S32OOOOOO; oats,
S664OOO; hay S3O0OOoO; Irish potatoes, S16SO,OOO;
cotton s22,3SOOOO rice, $9s7sOOO and sweet potatoes
S3,57OOOO. Our sugar crop, of course a big part

Il is compliment 10 the intelligence OF Louisiana
