Unjust and Indefensible Attacks.

The attacks that are being made on
Mr.. Bryan by the New York World, the
Louisville Courier-Journal and other
newspapers are without justification.
They seek to discredit the Nebraskan
and force his retirement from the Will
son cabinet They are doing this be-
cause Of long and cherished antipathy
to Bryan and not because he is incom-
petent and unworthy. Probably his
recent pronouncement for nationwide
Prohibition has more to do with the
kindling OF the old-time hatred Of Bryan
by the reactionaries than anything else,
for IL there is any one thing more than
another that will enrage liquor organ
it is declaration favoring Prohibition.
Both the World and the Courier-Jour-
nal are intense in their opposition TO
the increasing Prohibition sentiment
among the American people. Both
have attributed the ills Of the people to
the growth OF Prohibition and both
have said that Prohibition is failure
in that it does not prohibit.
When Mr.. Bryan recently made pub
lie announcement for Prohibition he
forfeited what little respect the liquor
papers OF the country entertained for
him, and instead OF criticising him for
his views on Prohibition, they have
falsely and uniustly charged that he is
a failure as secretary OF state. They
have until now commended him for his
wise, sane aud unselfish policies, agree
ing that his work and influence have
been for the advancement of the pub
lie interest and promotion 81 the pub
lie welfare, but since it has been made
known that he will attempt to eliminate
the liquor interest from the Democratic
party and establish absolute Prohibition
throughout the country, fatal defects
have been discovered in his ability and
capacity
In timely criticism Of the papers
that are attacking Mr.. Bryan, the Chat
tanooea News says:

These are all good reasons for the
abolition Of the lease system, and there
are other reasons fully as good. For
instance, it is not desirable that the
prisons should be in politics or that the
contractors should have hand in prison
management, and there is no way oil
avoiding these evils under the lease
system.
The prisons are the property OF the
people and prison labor ought to be
utilized in the way most advantageous
to the people and to the well-being Of
the prisoners. Prison labor should be
source OF public benefit and not a
medium for private gain. The lease
system works to the financial benefit Of
the contractors. 1t has not even the
virtue, much heralded, OF making the
convicts self-sustaining. To an extent
it relieves the State OF the burden OF
OF their support, but in the ultimate
summing up it is losing operation for
the public and a most discreditable
method OF dealing with public prob

A SMALL BLAZE

For the first time in several months
Middletown was visited by a slight fire
Monday night, but like all previous
fires since the organization of the Vol
unteer Hose Company, its flames were
quickly extinguished, and the loss was
light.
The fire was in the storage room at
the Middletown Farms creamery. The
building in which the fire was discov-
cred and confined is of concrete and
practically industructible. The flames
were confined to a number of empty
butter boxes, but the smoke was dense
and damaged the butter in stock, which
fortunately was not large in quantity.
The watchman and iceman were in the
building, and although they scented
smoke, they were unable to discover it
for some time.
The flames were quickley subdued
and the loss amounted to between $400
and $500, business going on as usual
the next day. The former building of
the Middletown Farms, frame build
ing, was destroyed by fire on the
morning of the 18th of August, eight
years ago, and the present modern, up
to-date fire proof building was erected
in its place.

A Correction

MIDDLEToWN, DEL, AUG. IL, 1914,
Mr.. EDIToR-DEAR SIR:-The Even
ing Journal, on Aug. 11th, published an
article rejecting on the condition of
the fire plug at Scott and Main streets
during the fire at Middletown Farms
Creamery. The facts are these, the
Hose Company, or one of their fremen
endeavored to open this plug by using
his opening wrench the wrong way and
in doing this ripped the threads from
the stem, making it impossible to open
the plug. 1t would be far better for
our Hose Company to instruct all their
members how to open these plugs
oftener than is done, rather than a
green horn tear up the plug in his haste
and hurry. The Light and Water
Board wish to deny in full the facts in
this article, and say that the fire plugs
are opened and oiled every thirty days,
that they may be easily opened by any
one having any common sense at all.
