PAGE THE PROFITEERS.

Austria's offer to pawn the SchoenbrInr
Palace 10 any American who will make
her a loan ought to be attractive to some
OF our pushing families who find Fifth
avenue and Newport too ordinary. War
fortunes have caused lot Of unrest among
our rich. They have no way 10 spend their
money. Prices are so low that the most
frantic buying. even OF things they don {
need, brings them no relief, and produces
no appreciable hole IN their incomes.
1t Is most discouraging.
But here is q way out. The Schoen-
brunn is expensive enough TO make il
respectable even in the eyes of prohteer
There isn't money enough in all Austria
TO buy candles to light it. II is full OF
that kind of furniture highly valuable in
palaces, but worthless in secondhand
stores. The Hapsburg servants probably
go with the establishment, and they
couldn't have been better trained for the
purposes of the obnoxiously rich, being so
naughty they won't speak TO each other
and absolutely incapable of useful work
Austria ought to make good thing
of this and the other royal palaces, castles
and shooting boxes of the departed Haps-
burgs.-Kansas City Star

MAKING YOUR OWN WORLD.


Tho liar said Its bitter world and it'e
hard to get along,
Men don't play fair with their fellow men
and they're cruel whom they arc
strong;
They snecr and jccr in vicious way and
they hinder you all they can,
And there's no such thing as fellowship
in the selfish heart Of man."
Then l thought TO inysclf-it is no doubt
true that rough ie tho world, and cold
To the men who hsv- bartcrcd the truth
for gain and arc known by the lies
they've told
The cheat exclaimed: "Its a vicious world
and nobody cares 1T all,
Whether you live or whether you die or
whether you rise or fall;
Lot poets and sagcs write fine words and
sing OF the Joy Of life
/ tell you the days on earth are filled with
hatred and scorn and STRIFE"
And l thought TO mysclf--it h no doubt
II your path is strcwn with your broken
faith and you've played tho game
m a cheat.
But the honest man. with his bend erect
will tell you that men arc fair.
That the world ia peoplcd with honest
friends who love him and really care,
That smiles await him whers'er bc goes,
and never there comes . day
But someone offers n friendly hand To help
him along his way.
Oh, the wofId is hard IL you lie on cheat,
but it's gentle and kind and true,
II only you've lived a. an honest man,
and do what man should do.

Where Many Farmers Lose

In explanation of the statement that
many farmers throughout the country
have threatened 10 refrain from extensive
operations this year, it is stated they are
deprived of their share OF the profits that
attach to the retail sales OF many OF their
products. They say the middle men are
reaping enormous fortunes, while they
are left with profits that are inadequate.
This condition may apply to most
farmers. but it does not affect those who
sell their products in the street markets
of Wilmington directly to the consumers.
These farmers get the top-notch pnces
charged. to the last cent No middle
man can interfere with them.
And this is why the suffering house
holders of Wilmington make such COM
plant of high prices In the street markets

CONTROLLED BY OLD GUARD.

The plain truth is that the present Con-
| gross was organized and thus far has been
controlled by Republican reactioparies.
In the House OF Representatives the
standpatters swept everything before
them In the Senate the Old Guard
gained its meagrc majority by the votes of
LaFolctte, whose loyalty during the war
had been under investigation, and New
berry, now on trial for fraud and conspir-
acy. Hardly q Republican in either
chamber has ventured To enter a protest
against the hunkers who have outhunker-
cd the hunkers of Mark Hannas day
There are many unshackled Republicans
inthe country, but they are not in Congress.
II is only eight years ago that the Pro-
grcssives IN National Convention de-
nounced "the deliberate BETRAYAL Of its
trust by the Republican party" and de-
plored ''the survival in our civilization of
the barbara system of warfare among
nations, with its enormous waste of re-
sources even in time of peace and the con-
sequent impoverishment of the life of the
toiling masses" In that platform, which
its authors called covenant, the party
which polled over 4 ,0O0. 900 voted pledged
itself Ito use its best endeavors TO sub
stitute Judicial and other peaceful means
of settling international differences
The Progressives are enrolled once
more under the banners of the party that
is betraying its trust on a larger scale
than ever before. Their surviving leaders,
some of them crazy to be President, are
the most faithful servants of the Old
Guard. So far as war-making, tariffs,
trusts, subsidies and all the protiteering
that naturally attends economic strife
and privilege are concerned, there is no
difference today between a Republican
Progressive IN Congress and Republican
mossback in Congress York World

The Automobile Show.

The fifth annual Automobile Show
under the auspices of the Wilmington
Automobile Trade Associationop, ened
most successfully, yesterday and last
evening. 1t is being held In the large
ballroom of the Hotel du Pont.
This event is of double interest. Of
itself it is both attractive and important
in its presentation OF the great trend and
progress of the automobile business and
the beauty Of the exhibits, And II stands
practically unrivalled in that 1t is held
under the roof of public hotel. Few
other hotels IN all the country could sue
cessfuIiy entertain such an exhibit, or
surround i. with such q brilliant setting.
We hope many from city, State and
surrounding country will visit the Auto
mobile Show, as they will find it both at
tractive and informing. 1t will continue

What the "Rappings" Mean.

Scientists are deeply Interested, and
| many timid persons somewhat concerned
over mysterious interruptions with radio
service waves, noted recently and some
! what pcrsistently at various radio sta.
tons. The explanation that they mean
attempts from Mars, or perhaps some
other planets, to establish communication
with our little planet, by means OF rndio
waves, is accepted by many.
Very likely, and why not2 Assuming
that our planet is not the only one IN
habited by human beings, it is reasonable
to assume that their people arc rs mach
interested in as we are in them. And
it is fairly probable that at this time their
curiosity is enormously excited by recent
unusual occurrences on our mundane
sphere. For more thsn four years follow

physical earth received continuous trc-
mendous pounding, sufficient, it would
seem, TO upset its equilibrium, or even

our fellow planets are enormously distan'

the vibrations and the violent physical
and atmospheric disturbances occas'oned
by that internal war are just reaching our
celestial companions of the universe.
They are startled possibly alarmed, and
so they are frantically excrting themselves
to communicate with us and secure re-
liable information. We have no doubt
that when the mysterious air "npplngs
are intellirently decoded the burden OF
their refrain will be: What are you
making such a helufafus fori what
does it mean?'
OF course, there are other hypothesis.
It would not be surprising if they have
accurate knowledge of many oil the
affairs of Mother Earth, by processes TO
which we are still strangers, and are de-
sirous at times of details. IL may be they
