Hedging

The world Of industry has come,
naturally, to look upon any new
tariff bill as in the nature of an ex-
pertinent, the effect of which can
only be estimated with the lapse of
time. 1t is therefore matter for
congratulation that the present tar
iff seems to be creating little real
business disturbance. The very
high priests of protection are quite
generally agreed in giving it credit
for THAT. But there their words
of approval end. Instead of con-
ceding that the protectionist doc
trine is dead, they charge that in
the enactment of the present tariff
bill "the theory of a tariff for rev.
enue only has passed into obi
vion.' The present bill is not a
revenue tariff. 1t will indeed pro.
duce far less revenue than the old
tariff. Hence the enactment of an
income tax to make up the differ
ence.
But this criticism of the new bill
is mild affair to the "slings and
arrows" it is getting from all quar-
ters for its failure to make good as
a factor in reducing "the cost of
living A demand for new tariff
legislation to lower prices in our
American markets was one of the
trump cards played in the last
Presidential campaign. But prices
do not seem willing to be lowered
and the Democratic tariff is fail
ing to justify the claims that were
made for it. Even the Democrats
themselves see the necessity of
hedging bit and beg us "not to
erpect too much reduction as an
immediate result" Well, we won t
In fact we will not expect ANY,
unless until there be first a business
depression that will knock the bot
tom out of the peoples purchasing
power and necessitate curtail-
ment of their scale of living. It
may have been good enough cam
palgn buncombe for Democratic
stump speakers to promise their
hearers lower prices without any
improvement of our industrial
prosperity! but any halfway stu
dent of our economy conditions
could tell that such a campaign
claim would never be able to make
good and the day of its failure to
justify itself would be the day of
Judgement for its authors. Hence

Boost Your Town
Help It Grow

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are men OF push
and energy in them who are not
afraid to spend Their time and
money to boom their town. They
erect good buildings, organize stock
companies and establish factories,
secure railroads, work for pubic
improvements and use every means
in their power to induce people to
locate in their city. Wherever they

their city, they write about them In
every letter, they send circulars
and newspapers to all whom they
think they can get to visit the city,
and when anyone visits them treats
him so kindly that he falls in love
with them and their city at once.
1t is enterprise and everyone pull
ing together that makes a progress

cape your memory.

Farmers And Teachers
Hold Joint Institutes

Superintendent of Sussex county
schools, E. j. Hardesty, Of Seaford,
together with the State Board of
Education and the County School
Commission, has made arrange
ments with the State Board Of Ag-
riculture and officers for the hold
ing Of joint teachers and farmers
Institutes, throughout the county
during the months of January and
February.
For years those who have the
farmers institutes in charge as well
as members Of the School Commits
sion and the county superintendent
have been devising some plan
whereby they could create an inter-
est in these educational meetings
and at last they believe they have
struck upon a novel idea-one
which will prove beneficial to both
educational branches in point Of in
terest as well as attendance. By
holding the meetings jointly it is
believed that the attendance will be
double that of what it has been
heretofore.

THE WORK OF
THE BLIND
Commission Asks For Local
Cooperation

The following open letter has
been issued by the Delaware Com
mission for the Blind, with re-
quest for the cooperation of read
ers.
"What zoe Want IS aUOrk.' This
is the supplication of the blind. Our
community is bravely reaching out
for new industries. Will it not fos-
ter and encourage this new indus
try Of it's less fortunate fellowmen !?
The looms of "The Blind Shop"
are working on an order Of gross
of rugs for the great department
stores of Philadelphia. Although
these goods are sold in large num-
bers by our local stores with one ex-
ception they are of foreign manu-
facture. If our local blind can put
up the workmanship and offer its
products to satisfy the great depart
ment stores in large city why do
they not get the patronage OF the
local dealers? Why not buy at
home and give their blind chance :?
Of the thousands Of brooms hand
led by the local trade few of them
bear the label of the Commission
for the Blind. In the face Of the
fact that the products OF the blind
are we'll received by the consumers
and many friends, excellence and
price unquestioned, yet the great
need Of the Blind Shop is the inter-
est of the dealers in the handicraft
Of those working under the great
est handicap and producing such
creditable products.
1913 has indeed marked great
stride forward in the condition OF
our blind. They have shop well
equipped and operated on strictly
business lines. A score of able men
have not been slow to take up the
handicraft open to their condition.
The business has increased to sat
isfactory degree. Yet to keep these
hands employed requires the most
generous support of all our patriot
ic merchants. We ask no charity
for the blind, but if blind man in
our town can make a broom or
basket equal to anything on the
market at the price he claims that
chance Of a self-respecting livll-
hood.
The cash sales of the Blind Shop
for 1913 amounted to $4629.56
against $3422.0O for 1912. The
wages paid the blind for their work
was $3OS5.37 and they are now in
a position to do double this amount
of work. For the past three months
all the departments have made an
excellent showing and in the aggre-
gate have paid their own expenses.
All with the exception of the broom
shop show credit balance over the
cost of the material and labor
charged against them.
The broom shop is now getting
into substantial running order and
it is hoped the next report will show
this department also on a complete

What Can One Man Do

II recognize the need OF SerCqce
IN the struggle for the betterment
of conditions m the World'S wayS
and Hfe-bM what can mere IN
diuidual, What can l do?" 1t is a
plant very frequently heard. There
is filth on the stage and vileness in
books and scandal on the streets;
there is graft everywhere; there is
federation Of immodesty because
good men and women are satisfied
to shrink back as they utter their
mild-spoken protest, whilst they
who profit by the Haunting of vice
are boldly loud-spoken in their de-
mand for "liberty and freedom
there is,-but why read a itany
known to every one among us? And
meantime the pitiful word is on
the tongue of so many-what can
a mere individual, can | do to
change the sickening story?
What can one good, strong, eager,
earnest man do? Just the other
day a simple priest was buried in
the Catholic cemetery Of the little
town of Harrison, New Jersey. For
full week the entire town had
done reverence to his memory.
When the news of his death was an
nounced by the tolling Of the
church bells, women and children
burst into tears in the streets. In
a day all the buildings on the main
thoroughfares, including the Town
Hall, were draped with black, and
everywhere flags were at half mast.
The Town Council met and adopt
ed resolutions Of coincidence, and
the Mayor ordered that the flag on
the borough hall be flown at half
mast for thirty days. When the
body Of the simple priest was moved
from the rectory to the church he
had served for thirty years, thir-
teen hundred children marched
down the street in two columns be-
side the coffin, and practically the
entire population of the Jersey
town crowded the streets and
mournfully watched the process
sion file to the church.
The details we take from the pub
lie press. And when one asks who
was this simple priest-so signally
honored, so universally mourned,
and what had he done to merit so
magnificent measure of reverent
respect, that same press answers
our question.
For thirty years Father M. P.
O'Connor had reuled over the Jer-
sey hamlet. The son of Irish fam
inc exiles, he was born in Scotland
and with his parents he came to
America when he was eleven years
old. These settled in Jersey City,
where the boy attended the paroch-
ial schools. He later graduated from
st. Charles College, Maryland,
made his priestly studies at Seton
Hall and was ordained to the priest
hood in 1877. No extraordinary
this for his years of
services,-therefore we speak OF
him as "a simple priest.'>
Yet during his thirty years in
Harrison he changed the town from
a gambling centre and open resort
for vice to a place where not even
pictures are toleratd. He
never held public office; he thun-
dered forth his denunciations of
graft and evil conditions from his
pulpit-and no other single man
has ever had so great an influence
for good in the Jersey town as
Father O'Conner. Single-minded |

troit won in the tenth by score of

in the argument Catcher Ainsmith is
said to have struck Sheridan, who was
being held by several players. Z
Morgan and Ainsmith were ordered
from the field, and as they were pass.
ing the grandstand Ainsmith jumped
into the stand and exchanged blows
with spectator whose remarks he OBJ
iected to. Henry was hit on the head
by chair thrown by spectator when
he attempted TO interfere. The crowd
then rushed on to the field, but were
driven back by the police reserves.

At meeting Of the directors Of tho

President Il. II. Paris, was adopted as
resolution and its publication author.
lied for the benefit Of stockholders in
the carnival corporation. as well as
other persons interested in the coming
celebration:
In view Of the conditions Of war ex.
isting in Europe at the present time,
and the unfortunate results which ne.
eessarily must obtain from this serious
conflict, we deem IL best and proper
for as to defer any further activity, for
the present, at least, in preparing for
the 1915 Carnival.
This does not necessarily mean that
the project win be abandoned altogeth

which we will wish to carry out in the
Observance Of our national holiday,
concentrating Washington 8 Birthday
II would seem, however, proper that We
do not actively promote any general
carnival at time when our national
friends are in such mortal conflict
Following the making Of the fore
going statement, there was some com.
ment regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
making public the directors proposed
action.

the interests of $500 stockholders, =

into a resolution, was adopted with but
one dissenting vote. Director General
has been informed by II. Haekfeld 4
Co. that the costumes which have been
ordered for the Circus Comique from Q
firm in Germany probably cannot be
shipped during the present embroglio in

In connection with the statemen,
made by President Paris, Raymond
Brown introduced the following resol

Resolved, That the board Of diree

we are of the opinion that, owing u
the unsettled condition in the European
countries, which no doubt will continue
TO result in an intense interest in oul
own country with a feeling Of regret
and depression among our members
that it is the sense Of the directors
that we request the Hawaii Promotion
Committee to withhold any further ex
penditures on account of the proposed
posters for the Carnival company un
til such time as the directors Of the
Carnival can determine whether, IN
view of the unsettled condition, we de
