DEMOCRATIC

A blunder ~signalized the legislative
career Of the present administration
The Democratic Tariff bill, first in
the articles Of Democratic faith, and
the one achievement on which natural
" they would be expected to expend
their most exhaustive study and care,
was so elumsily executed that it failed
to accomplish the results intended.
The failure was due to crude, hasty,
unscientife, secret legislative methods.
Designed to furnish sufficient reve-
nue. to finance the United States treas.
ury, it has proven absolutely made
quate for that purpose.
In writing of the tariff bill the Dem
ocrats dimIy foresaw a possible redue-
ton in customs receipts, although they
did not know how much and did not
ascertain the facts. So the income pro
vison was Incorporated, in the hope
that it would make up for any miseal
eulations in the tariff bill, although
the Democrats did not know and die
not ascertain the facts.
But what happened when these pro
visions went into effect9
Customs receipts were millions of
dollars below the amount needed from
that source, and at the same time col
l~ections from the income tax fell many
millions below the amount needed from
that source. The Inevitable result was
to leave the treasury without sufficient
money for it's needs.
The failure was caused by careless
ness Had there been conscientious,
open consideration of the revenue bill,
sufficient to enable members of Con
gress to study and understand it, the
reduction in revenue could have been
properly safeguarded But, instead OF
getting accurate information and ade
qrate estimates, the Democrats guessed
at it And they guessed wrong
The results of this first mistake
should have been a warning. But the
startling fact remains that the Demo
Gratis committed the same kind of an
error again. Forced by their needless
ness to provide more revenue, they
passed a war taxi in time of peace.
Based on a guess instead of an esti-
mate, the war tax did not produce
money enough. For months the receipts
OF the treasury have been daily fall
ing short of expenditures at a rate
reaching at times more than million
dollars a day. According to official es
Inmates the deficit viii probably
amount to one hundred million dollars
by July /, the end of the fiscal year.
No chain is stronger than its weak
est link. The fatal weakness that has
characterized the work of this ad-
ministration from its inception two
years ago has been its eagerness to
propose laws, carelessness in drafting
them, haste in committee action, and
stubborn refusal to permit intelligent
amendment in either House or Senate
after the party brand had been affixed
by the all powerful caucus.
Every American citizen has had to
help pay for these costly experiments.
There will be still more to pay until
the errors have been corrected by
thoughtful, intelligent legislation.

.IFARM LIFE MORE ATTRACTIVE

Farm and Fireside, the national farm
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
has been offering prizes for the best let
ters entitled, Whats An Automobile
Worth 2" In the current issue the prize
winning letters are published. Follow
ing is an extract from one of these let
ters:
"By this speedy tireless helper you
have bigger and better market for
butter, eggs, poultry, fruit, vegetables,
all the smaller products of the farm,
and you don't need to kill whole day
going to town either. The boys can go
to see moving pictures of the war, hear
a concert by Sousa's Band, or can see
the state league ball game, when the
work is not too pressing.
The old homestead has become the
most attractive place on earth for both
the boys and the girls. The old folks
are twenty years younger, and spruced
up like young folks. They were going
to retire to the city, but thought better
of it when they bought the car"

GROWING BERKSHIRE HOGS.

Y
As / never see letters in our county

cided to contribute a little news each
month on growing Berkshire hogs.

seven years as n part of nv business

them out more rapidly than any breed
as Berkshlres are heavy mixers, very
gentle and quiet at narrowing time and
have less runt pigs; 3rd, they make
more pounds of meat on feed consumed
than any hog that lives; 4th, they have
iine hams and good bacon and strong
bone to carry the body. Their pigs are
very strong at birth, less liable to acci-
dent. They are the hog for the farmer
as well as the packer. If you want to
know the hog to grow just write to any
packer and find out which breed is in
demand and you will find it is the Berk-
shire.
l think Delaware is fine State to
grow swine, as we can grow all grasses

we need for hog growing. l now have |
~ pigs, August farrow, that are beau |

BOY SCOUTS COLUMN.
MILFORD Roy SCOUT NOTES.

During the past week there seems tt
have been a recrudescence of interest
among the boys in Scout work. The
cabin is again becoming popular. the
sailboat is an attraction of growing in
terest and the opportunity for safely
passing tests, offered by the swimming
pool, is beginning to be appreciated.
This is as it should be. These things
are for the benefit of the Scouts, gen
orally, and with the application of lit
tie more constructive energy they may
have the greater satisfaction of spend
ing pleasant hours in a cabin completed
in every detail.
1t is strange that it should be neces-
sary to remind the Scouts that the
Thursday evening meetings are held for
! their benefit, solely; that to secure full
value from the meetings the whole
troop should be in attendance that each
Scout should contribute his mite toward
making these meetings both pleasant
and instructive.
Charles Abbott, who has recently re-
turned from Camp belmont, has many
interesting things to tell about his camp
life. Possibly some of the readers of
this column will remember the news
paper reports of the flooding of the camp
and the exciting scenes that ensued.
Theodore Hudson of Troop is visit
ing in Washington, D. c.. and is use
fully passing the time in visiting places |
of interest.
William Hallett has returned from |
vacation of several months spent in |
Ocean City. Already he has celebrated
his return by falling overheard from his
recently completed boat He was wear
ing his bathing suit, however, and it is
suspected that he was merely trying to
show his ability as swimmer in three
feet of water.
Bass and pickerel continue to be caught II
by Scout fishermen and as a result of
he new credit system the fortunate
)nes are piling up a considerable num-
Der of points.
A trophy has been offered to the Scout
scoring the greatest number of points
earned in the various Scout activities.
The winner will retain possession for
ne month. Three consecutive months
will confer permanent own
rship. In addition to the individual
rophy, patrol trophy has been offered
n the same terms.
Walter Topping. of Troop 2, is still
nJOying the attractions of Atlantic
ity. His return is daily expected.
j. Humes Grier, accompanied by his
randfather. is travelling in New York
tate and expects to visit Niagara Falls
nd other points of interest before his
sturn home.
Robert Pierce has been away, at diff
,rent times, during the whole of Aug
st. With commencement of school
0rk he will be permanently at home.
Louis Bennett has returned from
onth's vacation spent at Rehoboth
Watson Denney is also again in Mil
'rd after a pleasant visit out of town.

Perhaps no stronger testimonial to
the effectiveness of prohibition could be
furnished. from newspaper standpoint,
than that in every city throughout the
country over which a dry wave has
passed there is a tremendous dearth of
police court news. Booze and police ac-
tivity usually mean crime of one sort or
another, as these go hand in hand. Ac-
tivity on the part of the police force
means news for the reporter, but the
police court reporter today of the cities
under prohibition is having a vacation.

Fowls require a little salt in their ra-
tions; This is obtained during the sum-
mer by their eating grass, which draws
certain amount from the SOIL In the
winter, when there is no grass to be had.
1t IS necessary to place a little salt in
their food. The best way to feed salt
is in the mash food. 1t should be given
IN about the same quantity as persons
take it, through the seasoning of vege-
tables. Too much salt is as bad as not
enough, and very often causes bad eff
fects, but that is no reason for elimin-
ating it altogether.

PROHIBITION

Not only are the anti-liquor laws be-
ing effectively enforced in Maryland,
but the same is true in other sections of
the country. Down in Alabama, where
newspapers are prohibited from publish
ing liquor advertisements, they continue
to tell of successful pros ecutions of vio-
lators of the prohibitory law. 1t is no.

NEW ORLEANS.

A model school book that should be
inflated in every large city has been
prepared by Emma c. R!chey and Eve
Ina T.. Keen in The New Orleans
Book CThe l., Graham Company, New
Orleans. TIE authors start with the
.dea that il Is the duty Of the public
schools to teach their children all they
can about the city they live in. They
oesln with the history and geography,
necessarily they must tell n good deal
about the settlement and about
Louisiana at first, but they have done
their task with great discretion and
soon get 70 the story OF the city itself.
They describe the city, the buildings,
Old and new; the men Of prominence,
the Institutions. They provide an
abundance Of pictures and maps. Then
they tel about what is done in the
city, about the industries, the com
mercc, transportation, public activities
and 80 on, explaining what the children
see going on before their eyes, and
'Aey conclude with a clear explanation
N the working Of the city government

these things may be stigmatized as
