High Prices in Wilmington.

While the IN ayors Food Profitcering
Committee" whose report was made
public on Saturday. could offer no sugges-
tion of relief save by resort 70 the
Legislature for needed authority, II per
formed a good public service by its m
vcstigations. 1t showed that prices for
food commodities in Wilmington are
from s TO 20 per cent higher than in other
cities. and although these findings are
challenged by some members Of the com
mittee, the majority presented detailed
figures in support of their declaration.
There is no sound business reason why
prices in Wilmington should be higher
than in other cities in this part Of the
country. especially in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York. But they arc.
In fact, there are some reasons why they
should be lower here.
What to do about it IS another matter.
Some persons buy many articles OF food IN
Philadelphia. claiming they save much
more than railroad fare and expenses by
so doing, but this is poor policy and poorer
practice.
Some way should be devised to bring
about lower prices in Wilmington for the
necessaries Of living. Comparisons prove
they are too high Surely our people are
entitled to as favorable conditions in this
respect as prevail in other cities.

ALASKA AND NOT SIBERIA.

In q communication addressed To
a Senate committee the Acting Sec
retary of the Interior has called at
tention to the farming opportunity which
the government railroad, now in process
of construction viii open up in Alaska.
This road, as now extended from portage
on the south coast, makes available
for settlement about 100000 acres of
farm lands which have been already
surveyed s The Acting Secretary Is re-
questing q fund to be used to pro-
mote the development of farm industries
along the route of the railroad.
OF all the north region areas OF the
earth awaiting the arrival of the enter
prising and unafraid farmer there IS none
Of better promise than Alaska, if the
reports and the representations OF those
who have given the Alaska proposition the
tryout are to be taken at par. or near
par. There is large amount OF winter
climate to Alaska there Is no dodglng
that phase of the Alaska farm proposition.
But there seems to be convincing eyi-
dence to sustain the contention that
the climate is no worse than III the settled
regions OF Norway, Sweden and Finland,
while the richness of the Alaskan soil,
the nearness Of the region along the rail-
road line TO coal and other circumstantial
advantages render Alaskan farming OPP
portunity peculiarly attractive.
If farming on the community or Co
operative plan can be successfully devel-
oped anywhere il should succeed in Alaska.

THE FISHERMAN.

Observe the quiet fisherman, go watch
him by the brook
And note his code of honor with rod and
line and hook,
There are no ewes upon him, no tongue
to praise or blame,
Yet if he be fisherman he truly plays
the game.
He does not fish for fishes, he serves a
nobler creed,
He does not fish for numbers or more than
he may need.
He glorics in the struggle where sun ans
waters dance,
But in the fight he's waging he gives thu
fish a chancei
And now he feels nibble, and now his
line grows tautl
And soon another victim unto his creei II
brought,
But oh, the catch is tinyi He takes him
from the hook
And gives him back bis freedom, and gives
him 10 the brook.
Oh, fisherman in numbers al onp tbs
streams Of life.
Why should we not in honor observe the
rules of strife2
Should we not seorn to inlure the under
sized and weak,
And hold our love Of justice above the
goals NC seek?

General Charles Bird.

Although, by reason of his advanced
wears, death was hardly an unexpected
visitor. it was a shock to many of his
friends in Wilmington, Yesterday, to
receive word of the death OF General
Charles Bird of this city in a hosuital at
Brooklyn. n. Y, following an operation.
He had been so vigorous desuite his four
score and two years that it seemed rea-
sonable to expect he would be permitted
to eniov several more years of honored and
useful existence
Charles Bird was o citizen OF whom
the State may justly feel proud. Hon
orable and upright in his conduct, exem-
plary in all his doings, he also achieved a
record of fine patriotic service and civlc
usefulness that is remarkable, as well as
commendable. Few men have so much OF
accomplishment to their credit as did this
honored soldier and son Of Delaware.
During the Civil War General Bird was
n brave and efficient soldier, participating
in many battles and suffering grlevous
wounds, one of which affected him during
the remainder of his days. "a more
exemplary, gallant and useful officer
never wore the American uniform" said
General James III. Wilson. his friend and
fellow-soldier, and this is high praise.
His death will be great less to this
community, where he has always been
helpful in every moment for the benefit OF
civic conditions, said Judge George Gray,
and this is well deserved compliment.
For General Birds great work in the Rcd
Cross and in various other agencies for
the reliefs of humanity was most con-
spicuous.
The memory Of such n man. man OF
fine living and good works, will long re-
main, an enduring monument 10 his
virtues

PRESS COMMENTS.
WHAT THE TRIAL SHOWED.

All the evidence in this case showed an
almost incredible disregard by the de-
dendants not only of national and State
law but of common honesty and decency.
Sims of money largely IN excess OF the
total amount lawfully to be used IN
the State were spent IN single counties
and cities. The outlay brazcnly admitted
was Sl7S, 900, whereas good Judges
estimate it at four or five times that
figure No other Senatorial election, even
in the old wide-open days, ever developed
scandal of such magnitude.
Personal ambition and vanity had
much to do with this baeehanal of Doodle,
but party necessity was uppermost.
The control of the nited States Senate
was at stake. All the funds so lavishly
used did not come from one man or one
family. Ii turned out, exactly as was
foresecn, that the election Of Newberry
was necessary TO give the Republicans q
majority in the Senate. II Henry Ford
had been chosen, that body would
have been tied politically and its then
existing Democratic organization would
have been continued to this day.
Thus it was the bought election Of
Newberry that enabled the Republicans
to pack the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions with last-ditehers and bitter-enders
opposed TO the peace; that brought Henry
Babot Lodge INTO the ifl-starred leader
ship which has Inundated the United
States with petty revenges and standpat
obstruction, and that accounts for the
fact that we alone among the bclligerents
rcsponsibiblc for the overthrow of auto
cracy are still in state of war. On the
one vote of Newberry, purchased at a
great price of cash and conscience, the
whole miserable partisan conspiracy has
depended. Without that vote we should
have been ut peace long ago.
Newberry's guilt is personal, but
morally the iudeernnt passed upon him
must fasten itself upon the spurious
majority of the United States Senate
whose misused power was gained by the
very practices that consign HIM deservedly
to prison New York World.

some unwittingly infringe on tenant $
