"No, dear," lie answered ; "my boy, don't cry, For dada will fetch him by-and-bv." call in the coming Presidential message J for fresTi financial legislation so far as he is concerned. He has not given any fig ures, but states that the condition of the country is much better than during the la"t fiscal year and that the deficit which was then something like $24,000,000 will considerably reduced. Secretary Shaw has been called upon by a number of business delegations that feared the im position of fresh taxes and he assured them all that he was not in favor of up setting the business conditions by any fresh financial legislation at this time. This assurance lias been very grateiul to the industries that thought they were threatened and is in line with the stand He sailed away, and one winter night The boy lay dying, eo frail and white ; And the mother watched by the tiny bed, And smoothed the curls on the restless head. "Me wants my dada," she heard him say; But dada was many a mileeway. "Oh, baby, I wish he were here !" she cried, And the twilight fell on the restless tide. But on the peace of the winter night, A storm arose with the waning light; And a ship went down at the dawn of day, That was homeward bound for the tiny bay ; And the Dawning shone, when the storm w as o'er, » On a sailor dead on the golden shore ; And the child lay dead in the morning light, For dada had fetched his boy that night. - WASHINGTON LETTER Secretary Shaw has given i ^ personal friends that there will be no it out to so ne that has been taken by Speaker Cannon and the leaders in the Senate against any attempt at financial legislation just now. Whether the message will contain any re commendations for tariff revision, it is of course, impossible to say. It is known that next to railway rate legislation, the President is most anxious for tariff legis lation, but in view of the bad prospect for legislation except of the most neces sary sort and the many other matters clamoring for attention, it is possible that the matter will be allowed to go for the time being and will be dealt with in a special message later on. There is a fear expressed in some quarters that the canal situation may have an unfavorable effect oil the fiiiSn cial showing of the country. It is stated that before Congress passes the canal bond hill, the canal commission will have contracted liabilities amounting to fully $16,000,(XXX) that will have to be met by the close of the coming fiscal year. It is the intention of the Commission to pay back this money into the Treasury out of the proceeds of the bond sale, hut there will be some delay in issuing the bonds as additional legislation will he needed before they are available as the basis of national bank circulation. They were not so made by the Spooner Act and it is recognized that they are to bring much above bar or even that. There has been some discussion as to whether the Panama Canal Commission was aiithorized to go on with the work and contract bills in excees of the $10, 000,000 already appropriated. But the matter was laid before both Secretary Taft and Chairman Shouts and they both agreed that under the Spooner Act the President Was empowered to go ahead with the construction of the canal cer tainly up to the limit oT the $135,000,000 authorized in the bond issue in ndditon to the $10,000,000 already granted. The board of consulting engineers of the eanaJ have already held their last meeting be fore re-assembling in Brussels where the report will be finally signed.

R. Branch who j was killed in a glove tight at the Naval Academy. The decision to bold the an topsy was sudden and one of the sensa tional feature of the trial which is re garded as a very important one. Secretary has not announced bis decision but there is no doubt that the request of the court material trial board will be complied with. The Railroad rate legislation is in a de cidedly nebulous state and the prevailing opinion is that there will be a comprise between what the President is uuders.ood to Jai-or, as expressed in the E-ch Town send Bill of the last session and also in bis recent speeches in the South, and a measure very recently proposed by Sena tor Foraker. To the layman, the differ ences between the President's legis'ation seems to be the difference between Tweed ledum and Tweedledee. Nevertheless, this difference may be of great significance to the railroads and to the country. The essence of the President's contention is for a maximum rate to be fixed and ad- ' ministered by a commission to be ap- . poiiited by him. The Foraker measure ! seeks to amend existing statues and to expedite suits in the Federal Courts that ' may be brought by the Inter-State Com-1 merce Commission on complaint of a shipper, the costs of such litigation so far as the complainant is concerned, to be borne by the Government. .

The Washington Post say s that "fourteen women are cashiers and eighteen assis tant cashiers in Iowa banks, and none of them lias ever been accused of 'padding their figures." Possibly they (the fig ures) do not need padding. A young and handsome woman married an old rich and decrepit man.

The time to borrow money is when you don't need it. If you have $10 in your pocket and don't need any more borrow $5 from the first friend you meet. Then repay him the next day and he will imagine himself under obligations to yon. Then the next time you really need money it will be easy to get it from him. The minutes spept in growling at your luck or at others because they have bet ter luck than yourself, means just that many minutes of your own force and energy spent in making worse your own health and fortune. Every time you give room for thoughts of envy of another, it is a boomerang. It comes back to you and hurts yon. .

Observant travelers say American women, as a rule, are noted for their dis heveled locks. Except among the rich, no one can afford the coiffeur every day, and the French maid, who knows the mysteries of hairdressing is only for the rich. American women do not take the serious view of hairdressing held by their constineiital sisters. Women are to he given an opportunity to demonstrate that they are more careful and more to be trusted than men. Com missioner of Pensions Warner has dis charged several members of the board of review for gross negligence and has ap pointed as members Miss Edith Qnacken busli of Indiana and Miss Fanny Beal of Maryland, who are the first women ever given those responsible positions. The only college for women in Western Asia is the American College for Girls, at Constantinople, founded, supported and incorporated by American women. It is one of those agencies by which the Oriental conception of the position of woman is subtly undermined. It has graduates in eleven different Oriental nationalities. More than half of them are teachers. The rest are in the profes sions or are mistresses of homes. GIRLS WHO FLIRT NOT WANTED To begin with, girls don't flirt. Don't try to flag down the first good looking stranger that gets off the train in your town. If lie's got any sense he'll despise you for it. A man never wants to marry a girl that will flirt with him. A man that is worth having won't marry a girl that he has caught at the end of a hand kerchief or other kind of a flirtation, its dollars to doughnuts that his head is the shape of a quarter of.a pie with the point up, and the girl's father will have both of them to support. Any girl can catch a fool, but it takes a wise, sweet girl to catch a man. When a goodlooking, well dressed man gets off the train or drives into a town there are always some girls who think they will die if they don't get acquainted with him quick, and are not willing to wait for proper kind of an acquaintance, and begin to flag him down, and a girl who attracts the attention of a stranger by any kind of signs lowers herself in his estimation, and she will never live long enough to live it down. When a young man begius looking fur a wife it is not the flirt or fresh girl that he wants, for he is sure to find out all the good qualities of the girls that is worth marrying. Be quiet and ladylike, don't fear, you won't be overlooked in the grand round-up by the man that is worthy of a good, pore girl. Fathers and moth ers, if you don't want your girls left on your hands, a bunch of excess baggage look to it that she makes the right kind of acquaintandes in the right way.

Fertilizers to tl^e value of $1,836,626 were imported into the United States dur ing the first six months of the calendar y ear - M u TIME FOR HARMONY Insurance Commissioner Malshall Dis- ' ! ! cusses the Political Situation "Dr. (ieorge W. Marshall, insurance commissioner of this state and one of. the members of the Union Itepnlican har mony commune was in Wilmington Monday on business. While here the doctor mm .n-d to talk harmony to a number <>i Republicans whom lie met though he held no formal conferences. The doctor declared that, in his opin ion, the time to talk harmony had ar rived ami, he proposes to talk it in the most convincing wav. "I am talking on this line," said the insurance commis sioner, who added : "The time has come to ask : Are you a Republican becan-e you believe in the principles, and the performances of that party ? Do von want to see its suprem acy maintained, that it may carry to completion its manifold works for the betterment of the counties, the state and the nations; or do you want it to have its efforts brought to naught by a temporary or a permanent defeat, administered by its pretending friends, for the benefit of its implacable enemies? "The Republican Party must maintain its supremacy ; or the Democratic Party, crouching now behind the mugwumps, will spring again into power. If you are sincerely a Republican, you will work for the success, of your party. If you work against your paity, you work against all you believe in and hold most dear politically : and to put into effect governmental policies which you know are fallacious, and against the best in terests of your county, your state and your country. "The Republican party in Delaware cannot maintain its supremacy while it remains divided. Will you work and vote for a merger of the two Republican factions, or w ill you put your own or some other man's private grudges before your party's and your own interests? Will you break your party over another man's head, merely to make that man's head sore? Ask yourself : What are the things to do w hich will insure the maintainence of the Republican Party's supremacy? Then do what you believe is right, and work to get others to do likewisç. "Some may reason that a little of the emetic called defeat would, maybe, do the party good. Many in Wilmington so reason. Do not deceive yourself. The next election is not a municipal election, and therefoie cannot be of a non-parti san nature. The Republican Party will win, or the Democratic Party will win. There is no alternative. Whichever party wins will put into operation its theories and practices of government. If you be lieve in Republican theories and practices, then you want that paity to win and should do your best to that end. "A defeut at this crisis would mean the election of two Democratic United States Senators, one for a six and one for a four years' term of office, and a Demo cratic representative in Congress. It would mean a Democratic state govern ment two years hence. It would mean Democratic county government.- It might well mean tampering with the election laws, fur partisan advantage, and ulti mately, disfranchisement of the negroes. Do you want these things? If you do, your Republicanism needs a tonic. Dela ware was not easily, or quickly converted from Democracy to Republicanism; nor, were the Democrats once again intrenched in power, would a like conversion be made again one whit more easily or quickly. "Now is the time to think. Shortly will come the time to work and to vote. Surely the fate of your party, and the well-being of your country, your state and your county rightly claim your calm, dispassionate consideration and your pa triotic action. Think and work to make others think and work for the salvation of the party. It can come only through harmony and continued victory. Don't make any mistake about that. "The party needs now, as it has not in many a year, the patriotic services of its best brains, its coolest and most accurate judgment, its best executive ability, and its most loyal hearts. Do not let your judgment be warped by the streams or reiterated fallacies and falsehoods, which irresponsible, but crafty persons,' pour occasionally through the press upon the public ."—Horning Neirs. a WILL REPRESENT DELAWARE Governor Preston Lea lias designated ten prominent citizens to attend a confer ence on immigration to be held by the National Civic Federation in New York City, beginning on December 6th. The Governor replied to the request to ap point delegates that he did not consider that it had the power to appoint, but would designate ten men whom he be lieved would serve to represent this State. The list selected by Governor Lea was as follows : Hon. George Gray, of Wilmington, judge of the United States Court for the Third Judicial Circuit. Hon. Anthony Higgins, of Wilming ton, ex United States Senator from Dela ware. Hon. John Ilunn, of Wyoming, ex-Gov ernor, of Delaware. Hon. Ebe W. Tunnel), of Lewes, ex Governor of Delaware. Henry B. Thompson, of Wilmington, treasurer of the Joseph Bancroft & Sons Co. Thomas II. Savery, of Wilmington, president of the Board of Trade and also of the Pusev and Jones Co. Prof. George A. Harter, president of Delaware College. William S. Meredith, of Wilmington, representative in the General Assembly. Harry A. Richardson, of Dover, presi dent of the Richardson & Robbins factory and also president of the First National Bank of Dover. Samuel H. Messick, of Bridgevilie, president of the State Board of Agricul ture. .It is expected that most of the men named will attend the convention and Delaware will therefore be well represeut edat the meeting. 'igf* NO UNION RULES FOR WOKEN ' T1 ' e fo,lowin K. fr0lli »lie Chicago Keen tng Pont, to effectively presents a gener ally overlooked phase of a great question, woman's side of it, that we cannot re frain from giving it entire: "What's the matter with supper?" lie asked. "There isn't any," siie answered. He looked startled. "You're not ont of money so soon, are you ?" he asked. "No, but I've quit work for the dav." "Sick?" "Not at all, but I'm keeptng union hours. As the wife of a good union man I cau't afford to work more than eight hours. It wouldn't look right." Here was a problem that required thought, and it was several minutee be fore he ventured to reply. "Mary," he said, at last, "you've got the wrong idea. Now, you're working for those you love—" "That's what you ought to be doing, ! too, instead of going on a strike to help a walking delegate show his importance. Why shouldn't I be as much afraid of work as yon are ?" "I'm not afraid of work" he letorted, "but eight hours is enough for any man." "And for any woman." "But how can w e live on such a plan?" "How can we get ahead on your plan ? Did any man ever make a real success who was afraid of a few minutes' extra work ? Do they take the superintendents and foremen and managers from the men who are outside the shop before the whistle stops blowing?" "We have no choice. The union has settled all that." "If the boss had let the union tell him how long lie could work to advance bis own interests, would he be the boss now? Could any of the bosses have succeeded under euch a rule? How does any man who starts as you started get out of the ranks and up among the odicers ? Is it by letting somebody tell him how mucli he can do and how long he may work?" "Don't you believe in unions ?" lie asked. "Well, I've been thinking about them a good deal lately," she replied, "and this is the way it looks to me: Yon say to the man you work for, "Eight hours is all I'll work,' and you say to the wo man who works for you, 'If you can't make things comfortable for me in twelve hours, why, work sixteen.' But I've quit. I'll work as many hours aa you do, and no more; and you've got to have a mighty good reason for any strike you go on, or I'll go on one, too. Now, there's a labor problem for your union to take up just as soon as it lias the time. HOW TO TREAT YOUR TOWN Praise it. Improve it. Talk about it. Write about it. Trade at home. Be public spirited. Take a home pride in it. Tell of its business resources. Tell of its natural advantages. Trade and induce others to trade here. When strangers come to town use them well. Don't call your best friends frauJs and impostors. Support the local institutions that bene fit your town. Look ahead of yourself when all the tow n is to be considered. Don't forget you live off the people here, and you should help others as they help you. "Don't advertise in the local paper "to help the proprietor," but to help your self. Let's get together and keep things mov ing, hustling all the time; cheerfully keep ing a stiff upper lip waiting for Hie good time coming for the old town. Let's try it. Do it now. TWO NEW DESEBT TOWNS Two tow ns, for which the United States Government will act as sponsor, will be erected next month in southern Idaho on sites which are now an absolute desert waste. Names already have been chosen for them—Hevburn for the first, which officially is to be erected on November 14th, and Rupert for the second, which is to be created one week later. The two towns will be seven miles apart. Sales of town lots will be conducted under Gov ernment auspices on the days the towns are erected. The lots will be sold to the highest bidder. While the country is now a desert, it is expected that the great irrigating canals which the Government is constructing at a cost in excess of $3,000,000 will make it very productive. The towns are lo cated on the recently constructed branch of the Oregon Short Line Railroad.
