The Importance to the United
States of the fuller development Of
its railway systems cannot be overes-
timated.
With that developmet must go
earning power for the capital invested,
rates of freight and passenger traffic
sufficient TO provide reasonable re-
turns upon that capital after careful
and economical management in op-
GRAFTON.
Many of the railways of the country
are today pleading for higher rates on
freight, higher rates on passenger
travel, and some OF their representa-
tives are calling for these, in order. as
they say, to make their securities
more attractive TO investors.
Where are these investors now?
Not in Europe, where a thousand mill
lions of dollars of capital are being
destroyed each month that passes.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
ISSUE UP TO YOTERs.


From the Newark Post.
On Tuesday next, we, of Delaware,
register our opinion of this Democra-
tic administration. At no election in
recent years, have national issues
been so clean cut as they are today.
Two years ago, the Democratic party
went into power by a decisive major
ity AS usual. with every change in
the political majority in Congress,
there has been a consequent change
in the business world. The present
administration is striking proof Of
this theory.
The constant increase Of the cost Of
living was probably the underlying
cause for the change from Republi-
can control. Big Business tyranny.
Republican tariff and railroad favorit-
ism-all themes of Democratic criti-
cism-wero heralded before the peo-
pie as the cause of the high cost OF
living. And upon this issue. the DEM
ocrats swept into power. The work.
ing man was led to believe that Demo-
cratic supervision and interference
with Big Business would correct the
hlsh prices without interfering with
ms wages. Upon that pledge, he put
WOODROW Wilson in power. He knew
nor cared nothing of business condi-
tlohs' OF the intricacies Of tariff. and
lts relation to business. He voted the
party IN power who had promised a
saving from his weekly pay envelope.
Two years have passed with this
party in power The policies advo-
Gated during the campaign have been
l.ut into practice, and they now ask
mat the stamp Of approval be put ON
their administration. Support the
President and administration. is the
campaign cry. Their arguments. how
ever. differ from. those of two wears
ago. Instead of the plea that Demo
cratic tariff would reduce the cost OF
living, they now say Tariff has moth.

HOURS FOR TAX COLLECTOR.

XKTITH ali the new varieties OF taxes which the
w Democratic party has imposed, It is only fair
10 allow the people to say when the tax collector shall
call Not more than one kind Of tax collector should
be permitted to call in any day, and as the milk
man. the ice and the garbage man have pre-empted
hours from about a. m. to $50 a. m, it should be
specified that the is not to call before a. m
each day.
This administration at least AFFORD to be lenien

little non-essential the hour Of daily collection.

National Aid TO the Railways
(From the washington Post.)

powers fully railway securities would be
attractive to private investors, for the
earning power would be eliminated. and
the public being protected, political at
tacks would cease.
Private capital is not obtainable in
the amounts required by the railways
of the United States,
Neither individual nor corporate credit
is sufficient to place the railways in
proper shape under existing conditions.
Why not then extend 10 these railway
companies, whose property and very life
is in the hands OF the government-why
not extend 10 them the credit of the gov
emment? Why not give them the aid
and assistance of the government in this
needed work of financing the develop
ment which means so much to the bust
ness of every State of the Nation, to
the people Of the entire republics
: The government aid in land, in
money. in credits, was extended free
/ ly to the transcontinental railways.
] and never we're there greater returns
to a nation from any action than
those that resulted from that ma
tional aid in betting the continent
with railway lines from ocean to
ocean.
Private or corporate capital could
never have built those roads unaided,
no more than they could have 51ilt
the Panama Canal.
The railways Of the United States
should no longer be made the targets
OF criticism and abuse; they should
be freed from the fear of corrupt
management and made the benehci-
aries Of public confidence through
governmental control and govern
mental financial assistance.
The guarantee by the government
of the United States OF honest man
agement: Of rates 10 produce a rea-
sonable return upon capital invested
and. when necessary, the assistance
q of the credit Of the government IN
furnishing funds needed for ap'
proved development: these will solve
the railway problems that neither
corporate managers nor the mos'
powerful financial interest have beer
able to solve.
{ In the South, in the East in the
! West, i'm the North, railway develop
! ment has become imperative. while
even railway operation is now yer,

MILLER AND HIS CAMPAIGN.

From the Laurel Leader.
To those who know Thomas W.
Miller personally, as we'll as those
who have had private or professional
business dealings with him. the bril-
liant record he has made is no mys-
terry. II is only those who harpcd
on his youth and inexperience who
have been not only amazed but dumb
founded.
He has delivered more real
speeches during the campaign than
any one ever has done In this State
and at the same time keep the wheels
OF the secretary Of States Office NOV
ing as smoothly as though he were
not making a most strenuous fight
for Congress. In all his speeches
he has talked on the issues; issues
that go TO the heart of every one and
has displayed an intimate acquaint-
ance not only with governmental or
ganization, but with the particular
requirements of the people in the diff
ferent sections of the State
He has demonstrated that he under
stands fully the relations Of the gov
eTnment to the people in their vari-
Gus pursuits-to the mill worker. the
farmer, and all who fight the battle
of life from humble position, as we'll
as those who may be better favored
OF fortune. Thomas Miller possesses
unusual ability and aggressiveness
and we believe all Delawareans will
be proud of their Congressman af-
ter the fourth of next March.

dorsement should win vote from

disaster inflicted on the people by a

people in Delaware would vote for

MILLER Is MAKING FRIENDS.

From the Milford Chronicle.
In making his campaign through
Sussex county Thomas w. Miller has
won the regard and respect of the
people whom he has addressed, and
he has also impressed them as a
man Of character and ability. In
pressing home the importance Of
Congressman from Delaware who
would watch the interests of our
State, he has clearly shown that Del
aware has been made to suffer by
reason of elimination Of appropria-
tions for improving the Waterways,
and especially the opening OF the
canal from the Delaware Bay at Lewes
TO the Rehoboth Bay, and thus con
meet the waterways already provided.
BY the failure to maintain this es-
pecial item, the people OF Sussex
county have been made to bear the
lack of cheap transportation for their
products. This plainly shows that
Thomas w. Miller is awake to the in
terests Of Delaware, and that he will
represent the Whole State. and not
the smaller part of Delaware: its
northern end. Il is impossible to
change the present conditions under
a Democratic Congress, and the
working men are directly interested
in the prosperity Of the manufactur-
ing centres, as il is through them
that prosperity reaches the laboring
classes, and the experience which to
Mr.. Miller while acting as private
secretary for ex-Congressman Hon.
William Heald, will be OF great value
TO him as a member Of Congress from
Delaware. Every man who feels that
Delaware. and the lower end of Della
aware especially, should receive at
t@tion from her representative in
Congress. should vote for Thomas W.
Miller.
