All the nations are living upon
their accumulated savings and
wasting them at "a rate precedent
ed in the worlds history.
The measureless human suffering
and bloodshed cannot be estimated
1t will affect all the nations for
generations to come, 1t is only on
the material side that losses can be
even approximately stated, and
these are staggering.

the Bank of France has advanced
to the Government, for extraord
inary war expenses. $3.50, 900, 900.

to France $40, 900 900. These sums
proved insufficient for the expenses

Modern war depends as much

can easily draw upon its own peo-

RATE INCREASE

The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase In freight rates in the eastern
classification OF territoryi the applica'
ton of the roads to state and inter.
state commissions for an Increase n
rates, and the utteraIces of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase IN freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF the
United States are inadequate 10 ef.
fectively meet the demands OF com
msrce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
Is needed to accommodate THE move
ment Of farm products. II In the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase In freight rates Is necessary
to bring about an Improvement In our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an increase
SHOULD be granted, and the farmer Ia
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as justly belongs to him.
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this In
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow klnss Of Least Resist
anee.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines Of least re.
sIstance. The merchant, the manu-.
faeturer. the miner, the miller, the
lumberman AID the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ.

life out Of the rates and with unre-
kstrained greed they have eaten the

What Is a Fair Rate?

We do not know what constitutes Q
basis for rate making and have never
heard of anyone who did claim to
know much about it, but II the pros
perity of the farm is a factor to De
considered and the railroad commits
sion concludes that an increase IN
rates Ia necessary, we would prefer
that II come to us through articles OF
consumption on their journey from
the factory to the farm. We would,
for example, prefer that the rate on
nogs remain as at present and the
rate on meat bear the increase, for
any farmer can then avoid the burden
by raising his own meat, and a farm
er who will not try to raise his own
meat ought to be penalized. We
think the rate on coal and brick can
much better bear an increase than
the rate on cotton sand -four. We
would prefer that the rate on plows
remain the same, and machinery,
pianos and such articles as the poor
er farmer cannot hope to possess bear
the burden of increase.
The increase in rates should be so
arranged that the farmer who lives
at home will bear no part Of the bur-
den. but let the farmer who boards
In other states and countries and
who feeds his stock in foreign lands,
pay the price Of his folly.

Delaware College In 1853

Through the courtesy Of DR..
George w. Marshall Of Milford, a
copy of the catalog of 1855 has just
been given to the institution. 1t
is full of historic interest, setting
forth in sharp contrast the stiff
classical course of that early time
with the rich and varied studies of
the modern college. Most of the
men who are listed as students have
died, but there survive some who
are rounding out useful careers,
such as Mr.. George G. Kerr of
Newark, Honorable John c. Hig-
gius of Delaware City, and Mr.,
John e. Stockly. of Smyrna. Hon

the course. The President of tht

that Ne, is Son the Philadel-

about three hours ride from either

ted to the college at fourteen years
Of age to the college and to the
academy, which was connected with
the college, at much earlier age.
There were at that time 1876 stu
dents all told, of whom about half
were in the academy.
In looking back over the sixty
two years that have elapsed since
this catalog was issued, it is amaz-
ing to think what fruitful and con-
structive lives were shaped by the
rigidly classical course Of the col
lege of that early time. Almost
every name contained in the cata-
log of 1853 stands for a structural
career in the life of the State and
the Nation.
A heightened interest attaches to
the history of Delaware College in
view of the present plans for its
expansion on an unprecedented
scale, which the Trustees are pro-
iecting.
