EHN SHOltE UDlTORS ARE
THINKING OF.
When we figure the cost Of a special
election for state senator in this coun-
ty we come to the conclusion that It
would be a waste of money. The re
suit would not be worth the expense

Men should be elected to office who
recognize the trust imposed upon them,
and who are manly and conscientious
enough to perform the duties to the
best of their ability and in the interest
OF their onstituents.-Sussex Repub-
lican.
Scientists say that the skin of hog
makes very serviceable clothing. One

The Sun of Friday contained very
strong letter from DIR. G. NJ. Ellis, of
Elkton, TO John S. Writ, earnestly ad-
vocating the passage OF the bill. From
professional standpoint he shows the
value of the Shepherd Asylum to the
commonwealth and how that worth
may be greatly increased by this en-
dowment. Fortunately Mr. Writ, who
Is In favor OF the BILL Is a member OF
the Judiciary Committee of the House,
where he has a decided influence. and
he will be able to give considerable aid
TO the friends of the bill.-Elkton Ap-
peal.
A good lawyer in any part of any
state Is apt to earn fair income.
None but a good lawyer could possibly
make good judge. In order that the
judiciary, Of the state shall be com
posed of the best obtainable legal tall
ent a fair salary must be paid. A
poorly paid judiciary Is synonymous
with poor administration of justice.
There are several lawyers in the state
whose income exceeds $4,000. This
sum is little enough to offer a chan
cellor or a chief Justice, and the asso-
cite justices should he but a few hun
dred dollars less.-Milford Chronicle.
The fact that it has little or no work
to do makes no difference to our Legis-
lature at Dover It hangs on day after
day, at three dollars per day for each
member and four dollars for each

penses-Every Evening.
In spite Of the fact that for two or
three years past the race track ques-
| ton has been a subject universally and
unfavorably commented upon, Mary

hin to legalize horse-racing and pool
selling in every county OF the state
There is little probability, however, OF
the passage Of such a law.-Elkton
Appeal.
If commerce and manufacturing in
