DELAWARE COLLEGE.
T HE Newark Ledger says that it would be
better for those who arc disposed to
criticise the •management of Delaware College to
await the report of the committee which is inves
tigating the affairs of that institution. And this
is sound advice, for as the Ledger says, it is a
thing to bring charges against the honor
able gentlemen representing the Board of Trns
The Newark newspaper remarks that hut
few people arc opposed to the present manage
ment of the college.
It seems to ns that the college has prospered
considerably mb

points that have caused contention. The farm

iring recent years. The investi
w ill doubtless clear up the
cour;
it must he remembered that this department has
been almost barren of students.
For some reason the young men of Delaware
do not care to pursue the agricultural courses
offered at Newark. And iu fact the farmers'
Institutes are not attended so well as they
should be . The efforts to promote the agri
cultural interests of the state have devolved
upon a few men, a few leaders whli take up new
methods and keep up with what is doing in other
parts of the country. The mass of farmers seem
The fact that
to go along in the same old way.
grain is now higher in price helps along the spirit
of contentment. Grain producing is the easiest
kind of farming, though the returns arc smaller
and many farmers like persons in other pursuits
are pleased to take the easiest way.
In some of the Western states the agricultural
schools arc crowded with students. 'Phe Uni
versity of Wisconsin has young men and women
taking'thc agricultural courses. A lecturer for
the Young Men's Christian Association .^ ho
spoke here some time ago showed that in a west
ern community the Association conducts annu
ally a ver>' profitable course in agriculture, much
attention being paid to corn growing. If there
were a demand for the extension of the agricul
tural course at Delaware College we believe the
Trustees would respond to that demand.
At any rate vve should like to sec the college
placed on a basis that would silence the critics.
One of the things that we seem to have always
with us is some contention about Delaware Col
* lege. This contention, perhaps, is due to the
"v. fact that the state has much to do with its man
agement. No college can prosper as it shield
do if there is wrangling over the management.
A faculty cannot labor with ease where there is
friction among the trustees.
New Yorkers are fond of guessing about
money, and they see big things as a result of the
Rockefeller foundation which is to secure a
national charter. The New York mathematical
wizards figure that in 1979, if the Rockefeller
fund is permitted to accumulate at an ordinary
rate of interest the trustees of thcjfoundation will
have under their control thirty-nine billions of
dollars, a sum equal to the entire national debt
, jri<< But it is unlikely that the fund
will be permitted to grow in such a manner.
Tlte figuring shows how money creates itself
and suggests what a good thing it is for the aver
age citizen to put away a little for a rainy da\?
Chester would have a much brighter future,
says the Times, if some of the men who arc
knocking would stop and begin to boost. If
every one in fact were converted into a MacLean.

DRAINAGE IN SUSSEX.
TORIES of the increasing wealth of Sussex
Q
L-J county make us forget that much ground in
the county is almost worthless for Üi
proper drainage. The richest lands of the county
are low lands, says the Sussex Republican, but
they are undesirable because they arc full of
water and often untillahle for lack of drainage.
Now that the county has entered upon
era of road administration the problem of drain
age will be considered. By proper drainage
much land which is now neglected can be made
available for cultivation. The high lands are the
poorest lands of the county, but they are suited
to the growth of «truck and small fruit for which
Sussex has become famous.
It is said that when the new roads are built
many of them will have to be drairied if they arc
♦o be kept in proper shape. We imagine that
the drainage problem will he even more difficult

QUALITIES THAT COUNT.
f is after all, the staying qualities of a man*
or a movement that count. The horse that
starts off with a rush in fine fettle is not always
the horse that is in first at the finish. The meat
boycott began with a great flourish at what
might be called the "psychological moment'' but I
if anything was ever like a rocket that boycott j
surely was.
Some persons thought some of the butchers j
would be put out of business and terrible things |
would happen. The people were going to quit j
eating meat, and the trust would be on its knees, j
It was a sentimental question with many people. j
With others the boycott w*is nccesssry bcc&usc
of lean purses. However, in all parts of the |
country the meat boycott collapsed at the same
.. ,. , , • _ j , ! ..l
time. It started with a wave and ended with not
a ripple. No one is talking about boycotting
meat at present
'Phe net result seems to be that the trust is
"standing pat'' and is preparing to punish the
folks who started the agitation against it. Meat
in many cities is reported higher in price than
before the boycott.
Therc seems to he no definite movement that
promises success to break up the trust. Wc talk
about the trusts and the trusts do business at
the old stand. The trusts are thoroughly organ

Democratic paper for their vote in support of
the Postal Savings Hank bill.
The local paper thinks the Delaware Senators
have stepped on the toes of some private inter
ests and that is enough for it. The sentiment
of the public as a mass is not to he considered
if it affects or is supposed to affect any private
corporation or any body of monied men. The
doctrine of the divine right of wealth and rail
road companies is the chief doctrine that is per
sistently cultivated hy that paper.
The Postal Savings Bank was pledged hy the
Republican national platform and we think our
Delaware Senators are men always willing to
stand by the pledges of the party. In this they
differ from many representatives of the Demo
cratic, party. It was Senator Bailey of Texas
who said that he sidestepped the planks of his
party platform when they did not suit him. The
action of Democratic legislatures in Vii^inla
and in Georgia in defeating the income lax
amendment to the constitution, although the
Democratic national platform favored ai/impo
sition of the income tax, shows
pledges and principles have little weight with
many Democrats who are elected to office.

dangerous for persons to violate the prohibitory
law in that county. It may he said for those
who forced the prosecutions that they were re
luctant to take the step which has resulted in
•sending the speak-easy keepers to prison.
The Law and Order officials of Kent gave the
suspected -»ersons repeated and frequent warn
ings that they would be prosecuted, but no atten
tion was paid to the warnings and the coyvictcJ
persons have no one to blame hut themselves.
They seemed to have an idea that keeping a
speak-easy, that selling liquor in violation of the
law was an offense that it would be difficult to
convict a person of. hut these persons should
remember that the sentiment in Kent county is
strong for prohibition and the majority at the
election was large for the "drys." Those per

outrage the public sentiment of a community

]*lory that shone In tho blossoming peach
trees lent an especial attraction o the
approach to his house.
Tho picture that I liad In my mind's
eye of the groat leader who had so often
discomfited noted Union commander« was
based on war time prints, all displaying
him with a long and flowing beard. But
I found him without beard, except a
tuft In front of each ear. His complexion
was ruddy, his eyes were bright, and yet
he seemed somewhat infirm. The really
noticeable thing about his features was
the scar that it bore, mute evidence of
the frightful wound that he had received
at the Wilderness at a most critical mo
ment In that battle.
"General," 1 said, after a time, "I have
heard that many military critics bdleVe
that had you not been wounded Just when
and where you were, you probably would
have driven Grant back across the Rapi
dan."
"Perhaps," was the reply; "no one
can ever tell what the result of a bat
tle will be until it is over."
For several moments he was thought
fully silent.
"That battle," he said, "is one of my
thrilling war recollections, of course: the
twinge.« that the wound gives me. now ln
my cheek and now In my shoulder, will
not let me forget it. I fear, until the day
of my death. But I tidnk that tne most
