mington, Scene Of the
Disaster.

Wilmington, Del.-Thirty men were
killed and seven others were injured,
one Of whom died later, when 5000
pounds of black powder exploded in
packing house in the upper Hagley
yard Of the E. /. du Pont Nemours &C.
Co.'s powder plant at Henry Clay,
along the Brandywine Creek, three
miles west of this city. The building
in which the explosion occurred was
wrecked, only a hole in the ground
marking the spot where it stood.
At the time of the accident there
were 26 young men at work in the
packing house. None of them sur
vived, and not enough was found OF
the body Of any of the INTO identify it,.
They were blown to bits, and for hours
after the accident other workmen in
the yards were busy with buckets and
baskets picking up arms, legs, heads
and remnants of flesh that had been
scattered over the surrounding coun-
try for a distance of a quarter mile.
Cause Mystery.
Inc cause OF Lne DlaSt is not
known. According to a statement
issued by the company the origin twill
probably always remain a mystery"
Nevertheless most searching investi-
cation has been instituted by the off,
cials of the company, and every en-
ploye who was near the building that
was blown to pieces will be put
through searching examination in
the hope that some clue as to the
cause might be learned.
There was the usual rumor afloat
that some outside agency may have
caused the explosion. but du Pont off,
cials said there was not shred of
evidence upon which to hang any
theory.

Farmer and Merchant.

The great trouble with our people,

they have not learned to get together.
They are so Independent that they do
not realize how dependent farmers
really are on each other and how de-
pendent they are on the merchant In
the city or town. on the other hand.
the merchants must come to under
stand that they are not Independent
OF the farmer. but even more depend
ent on him than he Is on them
While the town Is a benefit to the
farmer. II is not a benefit OF such
magnitude that he Is under Obligation

would pay for the same quality ship

antry, the results of serdom and
wars, to solve As agriculture was
the most important industry. it re-
ceived help first from the state. The
effects Of this government aided CO.
operative system in each country was
an improvement to the agricultural
class. but after a certain point the
evils of dependency began to show
and state aid was gradually with
drawn from these institutions. At its
best the plane Of European rural con-
ditions is below anything we have
ever had in America, so even il we
begin at their level we must accept
their lesson that government aid is
not best in the long run.
The American commission returned
from its tour with a majority en-
thusiastic over rural cooperation but
almost unanimously opposed to state
aid. Later when the u. S. commission
sent I'm it's report it advised that such
aid should not be extended in the
United States" And Secretary Hous-
ton went on record with these words
"There seems to be no emergency
which requires or justifies govern
ment assistance TO the farmers di-
rectly through the use of the gov
ernments cash or the governments
credit"
Myron r. Herrick. ex-ambassador
to France who has made a deep
study of the European conditions, ad'
vses against state aid and says in his
book IN Rural Credits that in nearly
all European countries where direct
government aid has been granted that
it has led go bureaucracy, favoritism
and politics He is upheld In this by
Senator Fletcher and Representative
Moss, trainers of the Moss Fletcher
bill now before the house. Both are
advocates of the founding of land
mortgage banks by means Of private
capital and do not believe that state
aid is the proper way to meet the
| situation.
If the homo ownership bill becomes
a law 1t will be in the face of advice
to the contrary from the best authori-
| ties in the United States and Europe.
| The motive behind the bill is a good
| one but II remains to be seen whether
class legislation will prove a help to
| the men who really need it. There are
| other ways OF improving the condition
of poor farmers besides giving them
a subsidy. One trouble with lot OF
our farmers is that they are ignorant
! of the best farming methods and have
little business judgment What such
men need first Is to be taught how
to farm and how to take care OF what
they have. The agricultural schools
and county demonstrators are doing
permanently good work in this line
and doing 1t without injury to 'the
farmers self respect or independence.
Let the state help all 1t chooses in this
way on the other hand let legislat-
ors not rush in where wise men fear

The mind Of the boy is often more
alert than that OF his father. He seems
to get hold of the real fundamental
principles OF farming good deal
quicker than his father does. He
does not have the experience to make
the application. which comes later,
but he grasps the principles, and he
has nothing to forget. His father. II
past middle age, is naturally. preJu-
diced in favor Of his own way Of do
ing things. He places methods over
principles. Some of the older ones
are still following the old maxim: "As

That Chicago went overwhelm-
in1ly republican at the recent
elections simply means that the
good people of that wicked city
are in the midst of one of their
spasmodic efforts to clean out
gambling dens and weed out the
under world. At regular or ir-
regular intervals these spasmod-
ic efforts are made, all the good
people go to talking, feeling runs
high, the place is make hot for
crooks, and for a while it looks
as if the millennium was on the
city. Then gradually the excite
ment dies out and things finally
go on as before. In about ten or
fifteen years from now Chicago
in its indignation will be in the
midst of another spasmodic eff
fort to cope with gambling dens
and the underworld.
