years of operation the factory was de-
voted exclusively to the manufacture
Of bags from jute. The failure was mot
due to the poor quality of the bags, but
rnther to the lack OF cooperation
among the planters.
''In addition to aramina, which II su-
perior to jute, Brazil can boast Of an
other fibrous plant growing wild In the
central part of the country which, II

ture of bags would eliminate the In
dian product from the list of her m

cisco sometimes called Permit fiber
from its once supposed discoverer. The
fibers have the qualities Of linen and
hemp with certain advantages In
printing and dyeing.
these represent only fibers Of high
commercial value and do not include Z
hundred other species that grow IN
Brazil. Uses for the others win b.

explained by lack of ships to carry
ore from Spain. But that there Is
certain amount of apathy in industry
is undoubted. This is the reaction aft
er the intense activity Of the war.
The general effect of all this has
been to breed form of impatience
with things as they are and desire
to emigrate to other countries. Con-
sequently there Is rush for passen-
ger accommodation on the New York
and st. Lawrence steamers. If there
were plenty Of steamers this would be
all right. But there are less than half
the number Of pre-war passenger YES
sells. On the Glasgow-New York serv-
Ice before the war the Anchor line had
four first-class vessels-the Columbia,
Cameronia. OF these only the first
named remains. The others were lost
during the war. When "the four C.'s"
were running they maintained a regn-
lar weekly service. One boat Of the
four left New York and one left Glas-
gov each Saturday. 1t was service
nearer to that of trims run to time
able than any other from Glasgow.
Now the company finds II totally I'M
possible to resume any such service.
Americans Get the Berths.
One or two vessels have been char
tered for single runs, but they are not
lifted for carrying large numbers Of
passengers, and they can do little to
relieve the situation. So the chances
are that many of those people deslr.
GUS of going to America will be unable
| to do so.
| For this Americans themselves will
be somewhat to blame. Large mum
bers Of them have already booked
passage eastward, and also return
passages later in the year. The rount
trip is booked in New York, and tn,
offices Of the lines here are simply in
formed that SO much westward &C
commodation for such and such trip
Is flied. The Americans will be com

Their Regard for the People.

The Department Of Justice finds itseii
compelled 70 abandon its campaign against
the profiteers after November /, because
its appropriation for the work, which was
going on with good results, is exhausted.
This is one of the results Of the econ
omy" introduced by the worthless he
publican Congress which wasted more than
a year at Washington. 1t cut down all
expenditures to the lowest notch, IN order
10 embarrass the administration. The
people. soon 20 be at the mercy OF the
profiteers. can now realize how this worth
less Republican Congress also emoar-
raised them.
Also. this same do-nothing body, dur
ing its long period Of idleness, refrained
from abolishing OF reducing any OF the
excessive taxes made necessary by the
war. II left them to further harass and
burden the people.
And this same Republican Congress
with its horrible record Of lsziness and IN
difference, is asking the people to give II q
vote Of confidence and continuance at the
coming election. Never before was there
such an exhibition Of partisan hardlhood
Of pure. unadulteratcd cheek, known II
our country. These reckless partsans mus
think the people are ignorant, or bind.

Why be afraid of what Is round the

be beantifui adventure hidden there. 1t
is a poor, dun soul indeed that Is not stir
red by the luTe of what might be waiting
for us did our little, pltiEuI fears not hait

Roads that fly straight as bees way

A Business AdministSatl0n.

Republican newspapers and ofneoFs
are profuse in their promises of business
administration for the people Of Delaware
in the event Of Republican success at
the election. How assuring.
But let the people think awhile. We
have had almost continuous succession
Of Republican administrations in Della
ware for about thirty years. Has single
one of them been what might with truth
be called business administration? Not
one, as the people well know. And the
present Republican administration is as
bad as any of it's predecessors.
Look at the conditions in State ed
ministration. Multiplied agencies that are
more conspicuous for spending money
than for any other virtue. Taxes piled
upon taxes in order to meet the expenses
of extravagant and inefficient administra-
ton. And Just reflect upon the exasperat-
ing conditions of inefficiency in New Cas-
tie county and the city Of Wilmington,
| with burdensome taxation piled On top
Of them.
And yet those responsible for these II
ritating and costly conditions have the
efTrontery to tell the people that good
administration will come from indorsng
them. What arrant nonsense. 1t is he
that should not deceive child.
| Depend upon it, burdened taxpayers OF
Delaware and Wilmington, continuance
of Republican administration would mean
continuance Of these cxasperating, IN
efficient and costly conditions. No change
could make things worse, and certainly the
election of the admirable candidates the
Democratic party has placed before the
peonle this wear would result in welcome
and beneficial improvement.

Ministers for the League.

An important development Of the cam
pairn that Strengthens the Democratic
hope and gives moral backing worth
much is the publication by The Christian
Work of figures showing the attitude Of
the clergy towards the league. Fifteen
thousand three hundred and nine clergy
men signed a petition urging prompt rati-
6cation of the treaty and the league
without nullifying reservations. light
hundred and sixteen clergymen declined TO
sign. The signers outnumbered the non
signers more than eighteen 70 one.
Every shade of religious belief was
represented on this petition: Protestant,
Catholic. Hebrew and other faiths. The
Northern Baptist Convention urged rati-
fication in the name OF ] 500, 600 Northern
Baptists. Over 4 900 Methodist clergymen
signed, and other churches were as vel
represented.
The character of the support that
Governor Cox is winning is Indicated by
the above and by the support of Dr

almost surprising how readily the can
