IT is reasonable to expect an outcry
against any considerable increase in the
cost of any commodity which enters into
daily use in the family. But just stop and
consider for one minute why the price is
increased. The good housewife protests
against the high cost of eggs, but she
fails to look at the high price of the wheat
or corn which is fed to the hens which
lay the eggs We protest against the in
creased cost of butter, but we fail to con-
slider that the bran and feed which the
cows consume is more than double what
it cost three years ago. We fail to re-
member that the farmer is now compelled
to pay from twenty-five to thirty-fve dol
lars per month and board men to do any
kind of farm work by the month, and
that farmers pay from 81 so to SIPS per
day for agricultural labor. That is only
part Of the increase in cost of produc- |
ing food, and does not represent the in
creased cost in fertilizers and machinery.
Everybody wants higher wages, and
everybody must pay the increased cost
of production. Just think awhile before
kicking over high prices-for there is a
reason.

WITH the taking over of the Delaware
soldiers into the Army of the United
States on August 5th the National Guard
as an organization ceases to exist. Della
ware will be without any military organi-
zation of any kind-except the Adjutant
General and few ornamental staff ofic-
ers. What shall be the future for Della
ware as to public arms and defense?
This is a serious question, and must be
met squarely by the people of Delaware
along with the people of other States.
Pennsylvania and New York each have
and are now organizing additions to a
State Constabulary which has been &C
knowledged to be the best system yet de-
vised for the protection of a State from
crime. Shall we adopt this method for
Delaware? The National Guard system
has served its purose well for the United
States, as well as for the individual State
but now there is new condition to face.
We can and must organize Home
Guards for the defense of State prop
erty, as well as for preserving the laws
against anarchy aud disorder. It is more
than probable that another call will be
made for additional men to serve in the
army, and it will be the proper thing for
those men who are now liable for call
into service to join these new organiza-
cations at the home stations nearest to
each individual. This will not make the |
man individually liable for service anv
more than he is at the present time, and
even tho he should be exempt from army
service, the experience in a Home
Guard organization will be of benefit to
him as an individual. We call upon the
men themselves to make move towards
accomplishing this purpose, and upon all
men between eighteen and forry-hve in
Delaware to loyalty aid in forming these
for the defense of property
md the peace and order of the State. If

DR.. Condor Freed
OF Piper Murder

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Oct. 27.-
DR.. William J. Condor was acquitted
day of the murder OF John V. Piper,
a Rutgers postgraduate student, who,
the state has claimed, was slain in the
Condor home on the night of February
II. The jury was out three hours.
DR.. Condor heard with a smile the
words which pronounced him a free
man again. He chatted easily with
friends who crowded about TO congrat-
ulate him.
Mrs. Condor was not in court. Short
ly after the jury had retired she col
lapsed and was carried into the office
OF Sheriff Houghton, where she re-
NAMED.
When her husband entered she rail-
lied and accompanied him home.
All day the court was crowded with
spectators. many Of them women.
Nest Of the latter brought their knit
ting and sat at work while the jury
MAS celebrating.
Russell f.. Watson, counsel for the
defendant. in his closing address, laid
stress upon the abb which DR.. Con-
don had established, and pointed out
that the states case was built entire
~ upon circumstantial evidence.
Prosecutor Joseph +. Stricken in his
address abandoned the claim Of muir
der in the f-st degree, the motive being
absent, and asked for a second degree
verdict.
Judge Bergen then delivered his
charge, telling the jurors that proof
OF motive was not always necessary to
establish a crime.
DR.. Condor said tonight he intended
to return 20 service in the army as
soon as possible. He is a member OF
the Medical Reserve Corps and was
stationed at Fort Oglethorpe when he
was arrested June IS. He has since
been in the Mercer County jail at Tren-
ton.

LARGE BEAN ACREAGE.

The Union Title & Trust Companv
Is demonstrating this year the great
advantage of irrigated lands over the
Ioruihary farm lands of the country.
ana success of the effort will do much
toward attracting attention to the land
under the West Okanogan Valley Irri-
gatlon system. Drouth is a condition
that can be expected in this country
every once in while, and when it hits
a locality the farming industry suffers.
with water as supplied by the irriga-
tion system, failure is impossible
where there is any energy behind the
effort This year, the Union, Title &
trust Company planted 80 acres under
the ditch to the common navy bean. an
indispensable article of consumption
which is always certain of market at
a profltable price. That 80 acres of
beans are in the most flourishing con-
dltlon at the present time, and prom
lses morvelous yield. Monday, p. M.
Snlder had in his possession a small
branch of the growing vine, and 35
pods could be counted on that single
branch. If the acreage yields half as
we'll as is indicated by this sample of
vine then the harvest will be very
heavy. Besides the beans, the company
put in several acres of potatoes, corn
and onions, all looking well.

CANDIDATE FOR THE MOOSE.

According to the Okanogan Inde-
pendent when Frank Musselman, the
slayer of Opal Harmeson, was arraign-
ed before the superior court last
Thursday, he pleaded not guilty, and
at first made statement that if he
could be sure the girl was dead he
would want no trial, and intimated that
he would believe no one present. In
consequence of his pleading Judge
Neal fixed the date of Musselman S
trial for August s, and appointed At
torney VIM. O'Connor to defend the
prisoner. From the attitude of the cold
blooded murderer it is evident that a
plea of insanity will be the line of de-
fence. If this man escapes the punish
ment that he deserves, the extreme
penalty of the law, and hanging seems
too good for him, although he cannot
be executed in this state, those famil-
lar with the crime will be advocates in
the future of Lynch law in cases of
premeditated murder.
