being issued for approxi-
mately five million acres Of
railroad land in Montana, ac-
: cording to a statement given
the Courier by Commissioner
Spry of the general land office

date for Representative from the
First district Of this city as a member
of the 1921 Legislature voted against
the much-needed and ardently de-

urged by the Citizens Committee and
cordially Endorsed by at least three
fourths OF the citizens Of Wilmington.
So did William f. Virden OF the
Fourth district. Republican, who is
a candidate for reelection.
However else they may vote, the
citizens of these two Representative
districts should vote against Mari and
Virden at the election on Tuesday
AS Representatives in the previous
Legislature they refused to comply

IT'S TOO LATE NOW.

The Morning News today reports
senator Coleman du Pont as follows:
Because 1 built a road for
Delaware many people think 1
did 1t with the view Of getting
a Senatorship. If the people of
Delaware want TO send me on
that account l don't want TO 60"
declared Senator Coleman du Pont
in his address at a Republican
mass meeting at the Rose Hill
school house last evening.
Senator du Pont said that he
wanted the highway forgotten, and
that he wanted 10 be sent TO the
Senate as a Senator for what he
would do.
That is a very creditable statement
for the Senator TO make but it comes
too late. For weeks motion pictures
of the du Pont Boulevard have beer
shown from one end of Delaware Il
the other and almost invariably pre-
ceded or followed by an appeal to vot,
for the Senator on Tuesday, Novembe

site from what was expected--henc

POLITICAL BANKING.

In the Middle West there Is a move
ment for agricultural credit through
governmental assistance. That marks
perception even by the farmers that
they do not need more government
currency, printed money, as they for
merly sought greenbacks. Events
abroad have taught tho lesson that too
much money is worse than too little.
Ii is still necessary to drive home the
truth that governmental interference
with credit 10 hardly less undesirable.
II Is to be remarked that the proposals
referred TO are made at the time when
the War Finance Corporation favors
assistance to the farmers in other
ways. Director Meyer said In Mon
tena a few days ago that the corpo-
ration had assisted farmers only
through assistance to bankers who had
ovorlent 10 them, and that the cor
poration as a permanency was not
suitable to the banking structure of
the country.
Commerce provides itself with it's
own banking currency through pro-
duction and distribution of goods. So
the farmers to invade tho ileid of COM
mercial credit through mandatory dis
elimination in their favor is an at-
tempt to evade the law of supply and
demand for both agricultural products
and credit. 1t is not the province of
the government TO regulate prices or
credit. That Is a function peculiarly
belonging to banks, government ac-
| ton being justified only 10 prevent
unfairncss. Those who want more de-
post currency should provide them
selves with 1t through production and
the markets. rather than through
credit of n more or less nat nature.
The farmers are no doubt suffering
More of their products are selling close
10 pre-war prices than are selling
above the general level, and there ar,
few exceptions to the rule that manu-
features which the farmers requir,
cost more in agricultural products
than they should. The reason Is no
deficiency OF agricultural credit, bu
the necessity of paying industrial
wages kept above the normal level. IL
other words, postwar readjustment
are irregular. and wage earners rrof

THE WONDER AGE is HERE.

An electrical engineer gives pic
ture of the billions which the Ameri-
can people will spend in the next few
years TO develop electric power. II is
a story of absorbing interest.
The trend OF the day is TO create
immense central power plants and TO
distribute light and power from them
rather than 10 have a large number
OF small plants. We have an example
in Philadelphia, where one electric
company furnishes not only all the
lighting and most of the electric
power in this city, but helps pull all
the street railway cars and operates
the local shuttle trains on steam rail-
roads.
Recently this central plant took up
the burden Of selling power to carry
the Pennsylvania electric trains 10
and from Atlantic City, nearly sixty
miles. They are finding ways TO dis
tribute the electric current over great
once so costly.
From the central generating station
electric power is now sent over power
ful conduits TO big sub-stations, from
which points it may be radiated to ten
thousand individual users. This means
that We have reached the day when a
! few gigantic power plants can be built
at places where water and fuel can
be had advantageously and from them
all the people can be supplied.

A LINE OF TRUTH.

The Dover Index, in an editorial
presentation Of conditions of admin
istration which should induce the
voters Of Delaware TO order a radical
change at the election next Tuesday,
says:
"A careful business government
has not been known IN Delaware
for twenty years"
Here is a potent truth expressed in
a few words. When the figures OF ex-
penditure are considered, II creates
the impression that the dominating
motive Of Republican administrations
during this period has been to devise
schemes for expanding money. and
then imposing additional taxation for
the purpose of financing these
schemes.
No wonder. as result OF such
scheming, the expenditures FOR State
administration have reached the total
enormous for such a small State
of nearly five million dollars In a
single year.
And no wonder that tax impo.i-
tons have become so burdensome, sc
oppressive, and, in respect OF the ini-
quitous filing fee imposition, so irri-
tating and so humiliating to thousand.
OF honest men and women.
Who can deny that a change is i'm

come more extravegant and tax bur
dens even more oppressive.

TARIFF PRICES.

Delaware women as we'll as men,
are asked to vote next Tuesday solely
for the purpose Of indorsing the Hard
ing administration and supporting
the Republican party. Nothing else
should influence them according to
partisan Republican appeal.
But why should the people OF Della
ware ignore every other consideration
in order to indorse President Hard
ing when his own party majority in
Congress refused TO do this on several
notable occasions?
And why should Delaware voters
vote to stand by the Republican party
after what that party has done to
them In the way of costly tariff taxa
ton?
In order TO repay special interests
which had contributed money to the
Republican campaign. tho Fordney
McCumbcr Tariff law was enacted
That law was so evil in it's purposes,
that the New York Tribune, tho New
York Sun and other good Republican
papers protested, but In vain, against
its enactment.
Now the people see the direct re-
suits OF the operation OF this new
Tariff law in higher prices for the
necessaries of life. They must pay
much more for sugar, clothing. glove.
and other essentials. in order to en-
nance the profits OF the special inter
ests.
And now they are asked TO indoors,
these costly, irritating and untus
conditions by their votes, thus votint
directly against their own materia
interests. VIII they do this?.
