Kansas can count on at least 600, 900
bushels Of commercial apples this
year despite the big Easter freeze, &C
cording to the report brought back
from tour of apple orchards by T. o.
Whitney, secretary of the state horti
cultural society This is nearly one
hundred thousand bushels less than
last years crop but it is just nine
hundred thousand bushels more apples
than there was any hopes for when
account was taken OF the damage
done by the cold weather in April.
Whitney is warning apple raisers and
dealers to keep Kansas apples at
home instead of shipping them out
and back again at increased prices

Where Are the Jenny Lindsf

A friend of Every Evening who remem-
bers the good old days, OF fine things to
eat at reasonable prices, wants to inquire
what has gone with the Jenny Lind cam
taloupes that were SO plentiful hero years
ago. He declares that no other product OF
the cantaloupe patch could touch the
Jenny Lind and that in comparison the
Rocky Ford is a ''piker' when it comes to
real showdown of sweet goodness Our infor-
mant recalls this real, unadulteratcd melon
was called for the great singer after 1t had
gone unnamed for many years until
sweetness and delicious flavor might be
symbolized appropriately, as it was, by
selecting the cognomsn Of the famous drva
The most of these splendid melons
came from Penn's Grove, but they grew
to perfection just as we'll in Delaware, and
were reared and ripened in that section OF
New Jersey. They were small, about the
size of ones double fists, and there was
little characteristic dome on the top, an
obtrusion as if nature had started TO make
it twin but changed her plans. The meat
was dellcate, almost lne entHe intctlot
was fit---even far more than fit--to eat.
Probably because the Jenny Lind was
small she was relegated to obscurity by
the eommercialism that prefers larger
yields in pounds and numbers. The Rocky
Ford, which came in place of the disap-
pearing Jenny Lind, while larger, has won
good report, but our reminiscent friend
says that were there specimens of the
two varieties side by side, the Colorad
entree would be left unsold to rot and go
to the garbage can.
The Jenny Lind, undoubtedly was
mighty good melon, but pethaps the lapse
of time and the remembrance of our keen
enjoyments of the things our mothers
made" or served us to eat IL more sweet
and deliciously favored than were these
admirable cantaloupes that came from
Penn's Grove by boatloads and from the
lower counties of Delaware.

: PENROSE RESUMES.

II ia plain that Senator Penrose is par
tally restored to health and fully to his
political philosophy. His understanding
OF tho situation OF his party and his grasp
Of the Republican machine are quite
normal. Ills sense of partisan strategy
rs as acute as ever. He goes straight for
tho main objective. The election Of
Harding is all very well in its way, but
Of what use would that be unless n Re-
publican Congress, and ESPECIALLY q Re-
publican Senate, were elected at the same
time? With perfect sureness Penrose
strikes his hand upon the spot. The de-
sired appointments of Il Republican
President could not be made unless there
were a Republican Senate. And the Penn
sylvania Senator evidently fears that tho,
control OF the Senate by his party is IN
jeopardy. He casts an anxious eye at
Ohio and some other State where the.
Republicans may loso Senator. II the
managers are ready, TO take Penrose.

the reason why, they will concentrate their
chief campaign efforts upon tho election
Of Senators As plural leadership" by
Senators is what Harding has announced
in advance that he desires, this sub
ordination of the candidate for the Presl-
candidate himself.
Passing TO the question Of campaign
issues. Senator Penrose sets forth his ideas
in an article written by him for the maga-
zine section of today's New York Times
He appears TO have scant respect for
"the big issues proclaimed as vital IN the
party platforms including his own
party platform. The League of Nations
seems to Senator Penrose TO be tainted
with 'idealism," and necessarily, there-
fore, he is "agin" it. He is even against
talking about it. He divines what the
people are really thinking about-the
difficulty of making a living. To the Penn
sylvania mind that at once suggests the
tariff; and upon the need of getting ready

rose comes out strong. No other proof

PORCH-FRONT SHIFTINESS.

The front-porch style OF campaigning IS
promoting tendency that may easily de-
velop into an abuse. To illustrate, Senator
Harding refused to comment on Governor
Cox's acceptance speech, preferring to re-
ply later on. But for the Monday morning
papers the Harding headquarters pre-
pared for publication an attack OF on many
of the governors statements. This was
printed by the press yesterday morning
The objection to this form of campaigning
is the fact that while such public state
ments emanate from the candidates head
quarters, the candidate himself refuses to
make himself personally responsible for
them; indeed, they are fathered by no one
in particular, yet they come forth with
all the authority that Harding head
quarters" can confer upon them. The dis
tinction between Senator Harding and
Harding headquarters" which this sys-
tenn of publicity establishes ought to be
repudiated by the candidate insofar as it
tends to relieve him of personal response
bility.-Springfeld Republican.

Germany Wants Separate Peace.

No doubt Senator Harding had a dis
tinct purpose in positive declaration, IN
his speech of acceptance, that should he be
elected President and AZ Republican
Congress presented to him a resolution OF
separate peace with Germany. he would
Immediately sign it. Evidently this was
plain bid for the German vote" of the
country, which, however. is so positively
aligned with the Republican party IN
this campaign, as it was at the two latest
national elections. as to have needed no
special invitation to rally to MIR. Hardings
supporf But Senator Harding deemed 1t
expedient to make the bid, and the eoun-
try, therefore, knows that he is infavor OF
making a separate treaty with Germany,
which would be direct refusal on the part
of our country to enter the League OF
Nations and take part in the great work OF
making the world secure against devastat-
ing wars in the future.
A special cable dispatch TO the PhIla-
delphia Ledger from Berlin, printed
Yesterday, stated that Germany lis now
looking forward hopefully toward ne
gotiating separate peace with the
United States-not n long. complicated
instrument like the Versailles Treaty, but
a short affair. containing few lndispens-
able clauses regulating new questions
arising out of the war, and restoring IN
other respects the status quo ante. In
fact. merely arrangements for compensa-
ton for damages, mutual return Of enemy
property, and favored nation clause Tor
commercial relations.
II is entirely reasonable to assume that
this looking forward hopefully by Ger
many towards a separate treaty with the
United States was melted by Senator
Hardings plain declaration in his speech
of acceptance. Also, there can be no
doubt Of its cordial Endorsement by every
friend Of Germany and enemy OF our
country throughout the entire land. Such
a treaty would be of enormous beneflt to
Germany, but what would il be to those
countries with whom we were aligned IN
the great VIII, III a AASAAtNo''N -
defeat an influence: that threatened the
cause of popular government everywhere
Where would it leave the cause Tor which
SO many Of our brave soldiers gave their
lives on the battle6elds Of France, IN
breaking down the military might OF
Germany and proving to her armed le-
uions that we were better fighters than
they2
A separate peace would be Infamous on
our part and base tTeachery 10 our Allies
in the World War. Yet it is favored by
Senator Harding. presumably Tor the
purpose Of pleasing Germany--eventhough
il would become but "scrap Of paper
when il suited Germany TO make 1t
such-and attracting the warm support cf
Germany's friends here at home. But
never will it be approved by the patriotic
people Of our country.

Again the Sugar Problem.

Announcement was made in New York
City. last Saturday, of heavy decrease
in the sugar market. One large retailer, it
was stated, reduced his price on fine
granulated from 81 TO Attraction over Ia
cents per pound and raw sugar sold on a
basis Of 1904 cents, which was ten cents a
pound less than the high level of three
months ago. 1t was intimated this situa-
ton was due to increased supplies and
decreased demand. Z
II there Is any reason why sugar shoul
not be sold at retail almost as cheaply IN
Wilmington as in New York City, the
people would like TO know it. Last week
retail prices here ranged from p to IS
cents a pound, ard those who held sugar
at the latter figure declared they had to
paw high prices for it and could get very
little at that Yesterday some stores
quoted sugar at % cents per pound, buy
all yof want, and quotations may go
lower
The condition of the sugar market IN
Wilmington has been puzzle as well as an
irritation to consumers for long time: 1t
is hoped something can be done very soon
not only to secure a larger supply here,
but to enable the people TO buy freely at
all times and at fair prices.

known. No State in the Union. we believe,
has legislative representation that would
make possible !, concentration Of control
in the hands OF members from its cities.
Even in the State of New York, where
representation according to population
prevails in the Assembly, thereby placing
great power in the hands of the city
Representatives, the membership in the
State Senate is so restricted by provision
in the Constitution that the upper branch
of the Legislature never can be SO Con-
trolled.
That it 10 remotely possible to remove
any of this rural prejudice against urban
domination is doubtful. But reason and
justice should impel residents Of rural
Delaware to at least recognize the justice OF
the demand for u larger-not controlling
representation for Wilmington in the
General Assembly of the State. The prac-
tical business interests of the city are

Our Enormous Charter Revenue.

During 1919, the revenue of our State
from charter fees and franchise taxes
amounted to a little more than q million
dollars. Figures compiled last week show
that this total has been exceeded by the
charter business Of the first six months Of
the year 1920.
This is a very generous item OF public
revenue for our little State, of itself about
twice the total of our entire expenditures
for State administration thirty years ago.
But it does not represent the grand totalof
our State revenue, which this year viii no
doubt exceed two million dollars.
When we consider the size Of our State
and actual necessities Of administration, it
is q matter of wonder how we can spend SO
much money But when we take look at
existing conditions, it is not surprising to
learn the revenue is not greatly excessive.
Here is a situation which should com
rnand the serious attention of the next
Legislature. We have an expensive system
of administration, which should be largely
united and simplifed. and made more
effective and far less expensive by the
process. And this would result IN condi-
tions that would warrant liberal re-
duction Of taxes which at present rates
are excessive

THE SENATE CLIQUE.

Henry Morgenthau, q man whose ablli-
ties need no recommendation 10 the
American public, touches upon an In
portant phase, strangely neglected so far,
of the question which the campaign pre-
sents He calls attention TO the danger
of Senatorial dictation involving the cam
didacy of Senator Harding, end empha-
sizes the immense power which would be
enioyed in the event of the latter's cleo
tiOn, by the Senate clique which contrIved
his nomination.
'The small group of Senators who die
tated Harding's Nomination" says MIR.
Morgenthau, and by whom, according TO
his own frank admission, he will be adj
viaed, represent clique which plans TO
govern the United States. / hese men
were elected, not by the people, nor by
the Republican party, to this eminenee,
but by themselves. Their methods and
purposes are the negation of true democ-
Tacy and represent in fact the very things
which the world fought Germany to pre-
vent autocracy, selfishness and the de-
termination TO perpotuate hereditary
power"
There is no particle of exaggeration in
this forceful picture by Mr.. Morgenthau
of the condition which would exist II a
member Of the dominant Senate clique
should be elected to the Presidency; and
the consideration which the former Am
bassador puts forward in the excerpt from
his statement quoted above should have
great weight with he people. 1t Is a
subject which should be enlarged upon
during the campaign by the Democrats
in the interests Of their candidate be-
cause, in the first place the danger which
Mr.. Morgenthau points out is q Very real
and serious one and because, in the second
place, its exposition before the people can
not fail to result to the advantage of the
