A GLORIOUS DAYi

80 the people of Delaware it is as great a
day as.the Fourth of July, l776 was to this
country" said one of .Middletown's most
thoughtful citizens. He referred to Thurs
day, June 10Th, the initial day of Della.
wares New Constitution. But few people
realize what the change means. Delaware
has been Bourban in many ways else the
Improvements in the State had been more.
Selfish men have prostituted the State to
their selfish ends. The New Constitution
in fifty ways cuts off the resources of these
selfish men. Thursday was glorious day.
Early in the morning the TRANSCRIPT
building was decorated with Old Glory, a
bright, new banner being flung to the breeze
Others of the patriotic citizens were not
slow to follow the example and soon the
school children were asking, "What is the
day2 Why are the flags displayedR"
And it was bright day. The writer took
a drive into the country. and he was for
cibly reminded of the testimony voluntar-
lily given within ten days to the beauty and
fertility of the land we inhabit by two
gentlemen, one a commercial man an the
other an Illinois farmer looking for
home. They used the same language, u
have travelled over all parts of the United
States and never saw prettier country
than you have here" And it is true. As
these thoughts were under discussion the
farms Of Messrs. Kohl and Duryea, two of
the Keystone States thrifty farmers who
located here two years since. came into
view. Their forward crops of all variety Of
truck spoke forcible language. The need
of this section IS variety of production, and
the words of DIR. John J. Black upon the
promulgation of the New Constitution were
recalled. DR.. Black is no demagogue and
no one doubts his democracy. He said:
"In my opinion Delaware needs the
change in her organic law. She has been
too conservative. Instead of having under
two hundred thousand population she
should have half a million. She should
conform her laws and her ways to modern
methods and modern ideas. Capital will
then seek investment within her borders,
general activity will take the place of her
repose and wealth and happiness
will come to all her people,
True wordsI and the New Constitution
gives promise in scores of ways to the full
of the doctors hopes. When
man is nominated for place or. position
there will be less of the-"Is he native
Delawarean2" Bourbonism must give way.
Hail the new Constitution and the new
Delaware.

Servants were regarded as property, and
therefore taxable. ssThe rate in 1776 was
fixed at one and half pounds each. which
was increased in 1876 to ten pounds This
was well calculated to discourage the hold.

which has been in vogue in Pennsylvania
for century or more. Thus All Institution
which had helped wonderfully to develop
the new country, began TO pass away; it
had served its purpose. Many of those
from the humble ranks of the redemption
ers, who had the virgin soil for the benefit
of others, became the country's most re-
spected citizens, and lived to enjoy distinc-
tion and wealth. The lot of many, to be
sure, was hard, and that of some not with

He came to this country in 1928, and served
out his servitude with farmer, as James
Annesley. When James was twelve years
old his father died; and the boys uncle
Richard wishing to possess the estate and
title, took measures to get rid of his nephew,
James, by having him enticed on board an
American vessel. He was landed at Phila-
delphia, and sold as a redemptioner. After
twelve years of manuel labor, James was
discovered by two Irishmen who recogniz-
ed him as the rightful heir to the title and
estate which his uncle had usurped James
returned to his native country and brought
action against the false uncle. The verdict
was given in favor of James, but the uncle
appealed to the House of Lords; and be-
fore their decision was given, James died,

in-gotten estate" 1t is said that the cir
of this case have furnished the

TO OUR READERS.

For several months the editor OF this
paper has been i'll, nearly two months
confined to his bed. Before he gave up
his work he was long time sick, so
that he could not do efficient service on
the paper. During this period the
TRANSCRIPT has been in the same
competent hands as when it was owned
by Messrs. Burris & Browne, and
many deserved compliments have been
paid the ''Grst lady editor in Delaware"
for the service which she has rendered
the readers of the TRANSCRIPT.
Thanks to an overruling Providence,
the skill Of medicine. and the very
kind attention Of friends full restora-
tion to health is pow looked forward
to with great confidence by the writer
when full work may be resumed upon
the paper. During the illness referred
to the State has passed through one of
its most important changes. The peo-
pie to-day have a New Constitution
and under it they have an opportunity
to right the expressions and burdens
which have been placed upon them by
the politicians. Comment, sharp and
severe, upon some Of the work Of the
General Assembly, which has members
as conscientious and upright as ever
entered legislative hall, was in the
editors mind and heart during the ses-
sion when he was i'll, but that is past;
under the new order let all begin
anew.
In business the TRANSCRIPT has
been necessarily neglected. Canvassing
has been impossible, collections have
not been made, and even the formal
bill which alasI is so often treated
more formally than the most formal
social function, has not regularly gone
on its mission. The kind friends who
read the TRANSCRIPT can help in this
latter matter. Look at the label on the
paper and if in arrears send dollar,
two. ihree, or four as the requirement
may te. With heartfelt appreciation
for oil the kindness of the past the fut-
ure is turned to hopefully for more
efficient service and relations of even
more cordial good fellowship. So Mote
