Managers Of the railroads have not
yet given their answer to the fair as
ISOLATION. Apparently they think that
the roads can handle the crowds by
adding extra Coaches to the regular
trains. But this does not suit the fair
managers. They want the additional
trains. for they say that the people
like to have excursion trains.
The fair is to be one day longer

MARTINS BRIDGE.
the Dover INDEX

From the Dover Index
We note that the Levy Court of
Kent County has decided to defer ac-
tion on Martins Bridge. This seems
to us not only wise but necessary.
Bridge building Is expensive and as
they must be paid for out of taxes
raised in the whole county. so long as
there are demands for bridges that
are Of general necessity and conve-
nience. the county cannot afford to
Dut large sum Of money in a bridge
that is a convenience to but few of
the citizens. We should be glad to
see those few near Martins Bridge
accommodated but we do not think
they have a right to ask this at the
expense of all the county. 1t is
usually considered an advantage to
be located on navigable stream, and
if our information is correct, those
citizens at Martins chose between n
bridge and navigation, and when the
United States Government acceded
to their demands and dredged the
stream the bridge had to be torn
down We think that those who now
want the bridge should bear a good
part of the cost. It may sound better
to use the word defer but we do
not think the Levy Court will ever
build this bridge so long as the
stream is classed navigable and a
$4,000 bridge is necessary.

To tho Editor OF THE EVENING

Readiness and wish to say an
ugly word about the Progressive

error in it's leading editorial this
morning, in confounding Amos Pin
chot with his brother, Clifford Pinchot

Editor surely knows that Amos Pin

spirited representative of the broad
minded principle of conservation Of

and profit and at present, as candi-

vania, now waging a red-hot fight for
cleaner political conditions in the
Keystone State.
Clifford Pinchot's fight against

liquor element in politics, is attract
ing national attention, and, without
doubt, receiving the admiration and
sympathetic interest of all citizens

politics.
The striking fact of this campaign
/ is in the showing that Of the Repub-

publican Party lines and for party
housecleaning, without thought or
promise of boiling the party nomina

This moral opposition Of one-third

Whether Clifford Pinchot shall wiz

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
PsYcH0LOGY YERsUs FACT.

From the Newark Post.
The statement made by President
Wilson, thar the present business de-
preston is merely psychological" is,
indeed, interesting. Not that it gives
any definite informSion Of the cause,
but that it is an official admission, by
the Administration, of the existing
conditions. Democrat politicians and
the Democratic press have been, for
months, proclaiming prosperity. They
have done their duty we'll If there
is anything in suggestion, the country
would be living under unprecedented
prosperity But now, contrary to
statements Of Democratic press, here
comes the President with an admis-
sion of the actual state Of affairs.
While we admire his frankness, We
take issue with his Interpretation OF
the cause 1t smacks Of text book
economies The present slump cam
not be explained away as merely
psychological. Glass room theories
have not reached the science that
permits OF such ready application to
the actual facts OF the business world.
We do not question his honesty nor
his patriotism. No more do we ques-
tion the honesty or patriotism of the
great bulk of the business men in this
country But in dismissing a dele
cation OF business representatives
with that psychological" platitude,
that much advertised Wilson firmness
ceases 10 be an individual virtue and
becomes the rule or ruin policy
known as Democratic stubbornness.
Had the President admitted condi-
tions and shown spirit Of co-opera-
tion. we might accuse him of error
in judgment. But to set his opinion,
founded on theory and campaign
catch phrases, against that of men
who have led lives teeming with prac
/ tical problems of business-it simply
brings out the startling fact the
Observation-Disclosures policy of his
, teaching days has not lessened. He
has clearly shown that when he has
the power he will project his per-
sonal opinion into legislation without
even granting the courtesy of con
ferring with those who may differ
with him. No act of the present ad-
ministration has so shocked the sane
mind of the business world as has
that merely psychological" dismissal
OF business men who called for con-
| sultation.
The G. A. r. incident while petty
was only personal in its influence
But the psychological episode shows
an autocrat that may well cause
| alarm

President Wilson and the Democratic party for the be-

to the reflection from his crown Of

was told, that the chance of prisoners
escaping from Sing Sing and not being
at once retaken was one out of six
thousand. So with Fred it was largely
a sporting proposition. Any man who
could beat six-thousand-to-one shot
commanded his admiration.
And, having settled his own course
of action, he tried to imagine himself
in the place of the man who at that
very moment was endeavoring to es-
cape. Were he that man, he would first,
he decided, rid himself. of his telltale
clothing. But that would leave him

clothes? He might hold up a passer-
by, and, if the passer-by did not flee
from him or punch him into insensi-
bility, he might effect an exchange of
garments; he might by threats obtain
them from some farmer; he might de-
spoil scarecrow.
But with none of these plans was
Fred entirely satisfied. The question
deeply perplexed him. How best could
a naked man clothe himselfl And as
he sat pondering that point, from the
bushes naked man emerged. He was
not entirely undraPed. For around his
nal1edness he had drawn a canvas avn

man of Fred's own age His hair was
cut close, his face smooth shaven, and
above his eye was half-healed bruise.
He had the sharp, clever, ratlike face
Of one who lived by evil knowledge.
Water dripped from him, and either for
that reason or from fright the young
man trembied, and, like one, who had

Fred was surprisedSto find that he
