member of the Association had per-
feet right to sell his own tomatoes at
any time, by reporting to the sales
manager the number of baskets and
paying him one cent a basket. The
first plan gives the farmer two
chances; thus, if the sales manager
can get more than the buyer can pay,
the farmer gets the benefit. Second,
if the buyer can pay more, farmer also
gets the benefit. The plans which have
been adopted since the first meeting,
in my judgment, are wrong. 1t gives
the farmer only one chance. l know
a member of the Association who lives
near a packer, but he is obliged to haul
his tomatoes to Milford, a distance of
s miles. and has not yet realized s100
per basket. At the same time the
packer has bought tomatoes near Min
ford and paid $1.10 in the field and
sent his truck to haul them. Being a
farmer myself, conditions under such
management do not appear to me to
be just and fair for some to
have to haul their tomatoes from s
to IA miles. not knowing what they
are going to get, when many times
they could sell nearer home at a bet
ter advantage-especially at this time
when wages are high and labor scarce.

MIR. HARVEY ASKS QUESTIONS

II Mr.. Root or any other liquor at
torney or liquor advocate on earth be-
lieves that beer with "a per cent
alchol is not intoxicating, l want him
to please answer the following ques-
tions:
II beer with "a per cent alcohol
won't make a man drunk, why 40
the beer sellers in Baltimore pay
81 900 for a regular saloon liquor
license to sell it when they could get
a regular traders license for Sl5.lO!
If a beer drinker was to drink only
three glasses of beer in one day the
beer would not make him drunk, but
they don't stop at three glasses a day.
There was a young man living in this
neighborhood three or four years ago
who said that he had poured 80 bot
Ties of beer down his neck in one day
The beer drinkers drink the beer for
the alcohol that is in it. The less
alcohol there is in it more they Will
drink to get the alcohol. If beer with
So per cent alcohol in it will make the
person drunk, if a person drinks the
same amount of beer with "a per
cent alcohol in it he will be half drunk.
If a certain amount Of 512 tper cen
beer will make person drunk II
person drinks double that amount OF
"a per cent beer it will make him
drunk. Which is worse, to drink
beer with 51a per cent alcohol in it
and only get drunk once in 80 days
and to be sober the rest of the time, or
TO drink beer with pa per cent
alcohol and be half drunk all the time?
If the "a per cent beer won't make
person drunk. why do the saloon
keepers in Baltimore pay for a re-
gular liquor license to sell it and pay
rs times more flor it than they would
have TO ray for a regular traders
license? If 2Aper cent beer is not
intoxicating the saloon keepers don't
need a regular liquor license to sell H.
Let Mr.. Root or any other liquor
attorney please answer.

DIR. HOPKINS FAvORs EDUCATION

Mr.. Editor:
For fear that those who read my
letter in your valued paper of last
weeks issue may construe that I am
opposed to education, will say if you
had printed the Introductory state
ment, where l said that l did not
want to make the impression that l
was opposed to education, neither
were others who might object to the
present in question School Code ="
a different impression might have been
made. No sensible or intelligent per-
son is opposed to education.
The main point in my letter you
evaded that is, subject the code to a
decision Of the people. You did in
advertently, however, refer to this
point in concluding by saying, I'VE
have seen enough of the government
administered by the working class in
Russia to have much faith in popular
opinion as a guide where educational
questions which require money to be
contributed from the public at large
is the basis of support" l would
kindly advise the Editor that we are
not living in Russia, but in the U. S.
Does he wish to draw a comparison
or place the working people of this
country with those of Russia? Let
me say I have the greatest respect
and regard for the working people OF
every country and especially for those
of the United States, and Delaware in
particular Who are the working peo-
pie of our State? The majority, l sup
pose, are farmers. The working peo-
pie of Russia have been ruled by an
autOcracy. From now on, if you will
watch, you will find "the working
classes" once freed will advance rap
idly in all lines, education not exclud-'
ed. l believe that any public question
of moment should be referred to the
people. l am in favor of the referen-
dun. You further state, THE old form
of legislative enactment is far better
than any referendum" 1t may be pos
sible than an unlimited monarchy
would probably be the cheapest or
best form of government, provided that
you had a good monarch, but we in
this country have not been raised this
way. We have always been taught to
think little for ourselves. Any one
can observe that there is a tendency
Tor a more centralized government,
taking the power from the people. That
is what we are fighting.
so far as the people who have land
ed interests are concerned are those
who oppose this movement" l think
you are mistaken-at least so far as
Sussex county is concerned. Few own
more than their own farms. The main
point at issue in this discussion is
who rules Delaware-an autocratic
few, or the people?
In your last statement you infer
that men who have accumulated prop
erty. hold bonds, ETC., care nothing for
public school, churches or other pub
lie institutions which require money
from the public. May l kindly ask
who support the churches OF your own
town or who contribute to your pub
lie institutions?
Respectfully,
R. B. Hopkins, M. D.

ANOTHER II POINTS

/ Here are "A Points against the rat
/ ifcation of the Peace Treaty:
/. The Shantung provision is inter-
national piracy. bringing dishonor to
any nation party to it.
.. Great Britain is given six votes
to Americas one, without justification
( in reason.
3. By entering the League America
would abandon her traditional policy
of non-interference in European af-
fairs.
4. The Monroe Doctrine would be
subject to Interpretation by the League
Council, as asserted by British officials
without contradiction.
3. The United States would be
bound to maintain armies in Europe
to regulate purely European affairs.
6. Our constitutional provision that
Congress shall have power to raise
armies would be violated.
T. Domestic questions, such as i'm
migration, tariff. and coastwise trade,
will come within the jurisdiction of
the League if the foreign council so
decides.
S. Insignificant nations like Liberia,
HedJaz, etc, would nave voting power
in the assembly equal with the United
States.
8. The United States would be
bound to preserve the territorial in
tegrity and political independence of
every member of the League, many
of them mOnarchies.
10. BY bringing the charge that it
involves a threat of war, any nation
could require the United States to
submit any question to the League for
decision.
IL. Article % requiring free transit
and equitable treatment of commerce
could be construed to forbid protective
tariffs.
II. America, industrially and fl
nancially strong. would become the
| burden-bearer of the world.
13. The League covenant obligates
the United States to give full and
frank information concerning indus
tries adaptable to war-like purposes.
thus putting American industry at a
disadvantage, since most important in
dustries are of such character.
IA. America has nothing to gain
and much to lose by entering the
League.

abour the objection TO the School Code the people
sending their children school and the cost OF their
education will be paid for by money taken from the
pockets Of the taxpayers, though some OF the bunch
are hoping to escape paying the bill The maintenance
OF the public schools is thing that is ever more certain

COMMUNICATED
Col. Theodore Townsend,
Editor Milford Chronicle.

Col. Theodore Townsend
Editor Milford Chronicle.
Sir:
Can you inform the long suffering
taxpayers of Milford Hundred how
much money has been raised by tax
alton in Kent county for road pur-
poses during the last ten years and
how much of it has been used for
modern roads, or any other kind OF
public roads, in Milford Hundred?
To the road sufferers, it appears
that what little money Milford Hun
dred receives out of taxes she pays
is fooled away to reward the faith
full" by permitting them TO work out
their tax on the public roads and thus
disfgure and damage by digging in
on those whose owners are in dis
favor with the gang in charge of the
work.
Who is responsible for the condition
and how can it be remedied?
The enlightenment of your readers
on this interesting and important
question will be appreciated by a suf-
fering and disgusted public.

IN ANOTHER COLUMN of this paper print two let
ers which are of more than passing interest One if from
Mr. Fost who voices the attitude of that class of farmers
who think for themselves and who appreciate the advan-
ages of public school education for the masses. While
the gentleman has carried out in detail the thought
which he writes, yet it is letter which will or should
cause every man to think about public school education
from far different angle from that shown by the OBJ
eeors to the new School Code It brings back to us that
the lowgrade public schools in the past has been
one of the main hodbacks the advancement of Della
ware farming interests, and the almost impossible task
to induce immigration to Delaware from other States
The other letter affects the local conditions existing IN
the management OF the county roads thru and by the
Levy Court of Kent county This system is rotten that
N smells bad even to think Incapable men are made
supervisors and the members of the Levy Court are un
ybe to instruct them as their work It's sorrowfu
