PRESS COMMENTS.
KAISER STILL BLUFrrNG.

Not long ago, in one Of those infre-
guent messages that issue to the world
from the Hohcnzollern in exile, the ex-
Kaiser was pleased to declare that among
the quiet woods of Amerongep ] can
finish my days in perfect transq1illity
and rest" IL was smooth speech that
fooled no one, not even the unhappy
wreatch who made it. There can be no
tranquility or perfect rest this side OF
the grave for this man whose waking
hours and nightly dreams must be full
of disturbing ghosts. The news that
recently came to him from Potsdam
could not help but shake him terriically.
Truly his punishment is greater than
any summary extreme of justice executed
by the most bitter of his enemies could
have been. -philadelphia Record.

MARK TWAIN 8 HOUSE.

"a movement is ON foot mt Hartford,
Conn.,, sponsored by The Hartford Conr-
ant, to save Mark Twnin's home from the
hands OF spcculators).
Huck Finn is playing round the house,
Tom lawyers whistling there,
And Pudd' head stands by the pane
some thumb prints to compare;
The jumping frog is in tho yard, and
tender hearts and trio
Still hover day an night around the home
which Mark Twain knew.
Oh, save them from the sordid hand OF
commerce and OF strife,
And keep that house monument TO all
the joys Of life.
There once the kindly writer lived and let
bis spirit flow,
And gave the world those characters
which every age shall know;
There many loyal heart was born and
many a smile began
Which went upon its ripping round TO
cheer his fellowJnan.
And now that he has gone away, the ho,lse
he loved and knew
Should shelter still the playful souls bis
gentle spirit drew.
Too many tender memories within the
home abide
To let it go the common way along life's
changing tide.
Let grateful hearts support it now and
generous purses give
That Huckleberry Finn may always have
place to live.
Where Mark Twain lived and worked
and laughed ayd wept his bitter
tears
That post should be his monument
through all the future years

Every Evening is in receipt OF com

sons to fill the different offices OF the
county and State. Most Of these letters
set forth the fact that the aspirant, IN
whose behalf they are written, rs popular,

is of greater concern also to know IT he
combines with those qualities an especial
fitness for the post he seeks. Is he pro-
gressive; is he awake to the needs and
opportunities of Delaware; IS he narrow,
bigoted partisan and liable to seek the
favor of the professional politician and
work for partisan gain rather than the
general welfare Of the State? This is the
real light the voters of Delaware are seek

Then first glut Of vegetables in

opening gun of the World War is reported
in the Eastern Shore under the caption
"Cucumbers Jam Salisbury" There
seems TO be more cucumbers this year
than any other one garden product. In
FIVE days OF this week there were 45,750
bushels Of them shipped from Salisbury
alone. The oversupply broke down the
price, they selling at from so cents to
so hamper, or bushel How familiar
these reports will seem to the men who
raised peaches and other fruit in Delaware
thirty years ago. Not infrequently when
yields were large they would be appraised
by their agents in the cities that the
market was glutted and that their fruit
had been thrown into the river or at
times it sold for less than enough to pay
the freight. The later day marketing
methods have proven big boon to farmers

SUGAR.


The piice of sugars truly vicious
we're rationed at the place |
board; the. little sacks the grocers
dish Ills cost more than toilers can
afford. They give lis many far
fetched reason why sugar calls for
so much kale; but little does their
logic season our coffee, tea, or home
brewed ale. A lot of reasons will
not sweeten the pies on which the
workers feed, and SO the pastry
must be eaten so sour it makes mems
bosoms bleed And all the reasons
are but ioshing, sent forth to cheer
us when we dinei they'd all lose
color In the washing, and shrink If
hung upon the line. Some fat old
skates are profiteering, so we lack
sugar at our meals, and from our
anguish they are clearing all kinds
of doubloons, bucks and wheels.
Some human hogs are busy raking
unholy profits to their trough, while
we our bitter drinks are taking, and
asking where we'll all get off. My
aunts through all the days are
weeping, my nieccs fill the house
with walls; they know the tea, which
now is sleeping, will taste like tar
and rusty nails. When will this
carnival of shearing the helpless
victims have an end? When will
the swine now profiteerlng to some
stone tolbooth humbly wend?
