Notes of Sadness

Somehow or other, says the
Middletown Transcript, there
was a not of sadness in the
news that Ringing Brothers
Barnum and Bailey Circus
long called "The Greatest
Show on Earth" has folded
its big stop" and gone to Win
ter quarters in Florida.
1T is especially sad when
we think of the thousands of
children deprived of a feeting
one-day thrill of watching the
fun-making clowns, or the lion
tanner or the man on the fly
ing trapeze.
"Then there must be a pref
ty sad outlook for the families
of the 1000 employees, who
chose to blindly follow union
leaders and put the circus out
of business by a strike and
thus put themselves out of
jobs. The strike was called
when the circus proposed a
wage cut to avoid closing
through bankruptcy. Highly
skilled in their work the per-
formers will have little to look
forward to but relief, which
adds sadness in still another
quarter-the taxpayer. Any
way you look at it the Public
ultimately foots the bill for
strikes which force closing Of

Expedites Travel

With the opening Monday
Of the South Market street
viaduct on the State Highway
approach to Wilmington a
long step has been taken in
the elimination Of dangerous
railroad crossings in Della
ware, though it must be ad-
mitted too many of them still
remain. "The new bridge,
says the Sunday Star, is
nearly a third Of a mile long,
and it abolishes two grade
crossings on probably what Is
the most heavily travelled sec
ton Of road in the state. 1t
had been expected that the
bridge would have been open
ed two months ago, but its
completion was held up by
complications over the right
Of way into al adjoining prop
erty.
elimination of railroad
grade crossings is usually a
very costly undertaking, and
this huge cost explains why
we make haste SO slowly in
providing the viaducts or the
underpasses which would
safeguard motorists and pc
destrians. We do make pro-
gress, however, and the South
Market street structure is a
notable achievement toward
increasing the safety Of our
roads. Neither 50 imposing
or 50 costly as Mayor Hague's
,Skyway out Of Jersey City, it
is nevertheless an improve
ment in which we may all take
pride"

per acre ahead of the crop for
1887. The increased crop this
year was grown upon a much
smaller acreage than was that
of a year ago, the relative fig
ures being $4,000 acres this
year as against $4,000 in 1887.
That is fine showing for the
Delaware wheatlandS. The in
creased revenue therefrom
cannot fail to be appreciated
by the hard-pressed Delaware
growers. While the corn crop
for this year still is in the
ground, the Crop Reporting
Service estimates that this
year it will be materially less
than the yield last year. In
1887 the crop for the state
was 4,147,OOO bushels. This
year it will be $4,000, ac-
cording to the estimates. APP
pie production this year is
away below the bumper crop
for 1887. This years crop is
placed at 1,499,OOO bushels as
against a bumper crop Of p
in 1887.

difficult to detect. In the fu-

Dairy Farmer Cooperation

The vital and immediate
need Of today, with consumer
purchasing power at low lev
els, and with a large milk sur
plus on hand, is dairy cooper
alton. The leading dairy CO
operatives are fighting an ag-
gressive battle to keep the in
dustry on as even a keel as
possible-but they can't win
without loyal, undivided sup
port from all producers.
Greater cooperation among
dairy farmers holds the key to
better economic conditions,
said Fred III. Sexauer, presi-
dent Of the Dairymen's
League Cooperative Associa-
ton, recently. He added
From beginning to end the
milk industry needs an over
hauling. Not to throw it into
control Of bureaucrats, nor to
leave it under the thumb Of
buyers, not to grind farmers
down, but to bring them to-
gether and to give consumers

Be Sure To Register,

Saturday of last week was
the first registration day for
the coming campaign in Della
ware. Few were registered.
Voters who are not on the
registration lists should make
their plans to have their nam
es enrolled on the next regis
tration day. Those voters
who were registered and vot-
ed in the election two years
ago need not be registered
this year but if they were reg
istered and did not vote two
years ago they will have to be-
come registered again this
year. Also there are a num-
der Of new families that have
moved into this area since the
last campaign and they will
have to be registered this
year as well as those who have
changed their places of resi-
dence since the election two
years ago. The coming cam
paign promises to be an inter
esting one for Delaware even
though it is just an "off-year"
election, as there will be a
Congressman and various
State officers to elect. So
every person who is entitled
to vote should see to it that he
or she is enrolled on the regis
tration lists and thereby elig-
ible to vote on election day.

There are defeatists who
claim that the railroad prob
lem is insoluble unless some
dangerous step such as gov
eminent ownership of the
lines is taken. But there is
utterly no evidence to prove
this. ]. ]. Pelly, president of
the Association of American
Railroads, has stated that if
the lines are given equality of
treatment with their Compel
itors, they will solve their own
problems. He added that if
the railroads specific sugges-
tions for legislative and reg
ulatory policies are accepted,
''once more we shall see that
national prosperity is geared
to railroad prosperity"
The first essential step is to
give the railroads greater
freedom to adjust rates to
meet competitive situations;
to adjust service to the de-
mands Of traffic, and to adjust
their expenses to the condi-
tions Of their business. And,
finally, a regulatory policy APP
piled to all carriers alike.
This is the gist of the sug-
gestions the railroads have
made. They ask no favors
no subsidies-no preferential
treatment over their competi-
tors. They ask only a fair
deal, and the right to run
their business as all other bus
inesses are which means
the right to charge rates that
will pay expenses and earn a
return, and the
right to fit outgo to income.
The railroads say that if this
is done they can solve their
own problems. Could they ask
for much less ?-EaSJon Md

Food and Drug Law

The Presidents signature OF
the new Food and Drug Act
enables the Administration to
make use at once of some OF
its emergency provisions,
though the law as a whole will
not become effective until
next year. Power is confer
red to deal Immediately with
drugs which are dangerous to
health when taken in accord
ance with the instructions on
labels, with new drugs which
have not been adequately test
ed for safety and with cos
metics which may be harmful.
"A nefarious traffic is thus al
ready under restraint. Says
the Democratic Messengers,
Snow Hill, Md:
Judged in its entirety the
act is a forward step. The old
law of 1906 was an historic
piece of social legislation. Yet
it was negative. 1t prohibited
deceit, but it did not compel
virtue. Because it is more
positive the new law should
have a salutary effect in rails
ing the quality of foods, drugs
and cosmetics.
More effective control is
now provided for poisonous or
deleterious ingredients in
food. No longer will it be
possible to sell food which
contains a natural" poison.
The old law, passed when the
virtues of vitamins were hard
ly known, did little to protect
infants and invalids from eat
ing supposedly good but mad
equate food. Now labels must
indicate the important ingred-
ients-vitamins, minerals and
the like. Especially stringent
are the paragraphs that per-
nit direct action when con-
taminated food causes out
breaks of disease.
Under the old law the man

Railroads Want Fair Deal

For many years the rail
roads have been the source of
a steady flow of jobs at good
wages; huge purchase Of the
products of other industries
and enormous tax payments
to government" said J. M.
Fitzgerald, a railroad expert,
recently. ''But this flow can
not continue if we dry up the
source-and we are drying up
the source. As this source
disappears, the investor and
his rawlings will disappear. So
will jobs and wages. And
what is more important, ser
vice will be impaired - the
best and the cheapest railroad
service on the face of the
globe"

Has Something Slipped?

The news from the high
ways is not so good these
days. IF it keeps up in the
present measure Of bad quail
ity and large quantity" says
The Snow Hill Messenger, "all
those hopes we may have had
of sanity on the road will van
ish. And in that event, we
will be forced to settle down
to acceptance Of an uncom-
Portable fact, namely that too
many morons are permitted
to sit behind the steering
wheel of that modern neces-
sity, the automobile.
ITO do that, however, will
be a stupendous reflection
upon human wisdom. It is
unbelievable that in some way
we can not enforce on individ-
ual and collective comprehn-
sion the very simple fact that
reason must govern the oper-
alton Of the self-driven car. If
education-the soft and con
siderate way-will not do it,
then recourse must be had to
hardboiled use of the club of
constituted authority, welded
steadily and vigorously.
eve are ready to agree that
offenders are in the minority.
Because they are in the min
ority, there is hope for their
suppression. But to make
that possible the majority |
may have to submit to more
rigid rules and regulations for
safety until reasonable driv-
ing becomes a universally-ob-
served habit. Too many accl-
dents are classed as "unavoid-
able" when as a matter OF
fact the unavoidable accident
can be a rarity only when all
drivers observe the simple
rule Of never taking a
chance"
