The Good Roads Bill,

The provisions in the good roads
bill for the appointment of an engi-
neer at $1,000 per year, will con-
tribute to render the measure I'M
popular. as it will add to the al
ready heavy tax paid. without any
proportional benefit. as the road
commis~io can see as well as
an engineer when work is needed.
While we need better roads it will
not do to pay large salaries for ser
vices that can be dispensed with for
some time to come. The present of
ficers can see where work is needed
on common roads and the kind
Of material that will prove most ser
viceable. The greatest difficulty to
be overcome will be the procuring
of the money needed TO make i'm
provements, and not the manner in
which the work should be done. The
Legislature should look more care
fully into the matter and see that
every interest is properly protected
before the bill shall pass and thus
avoid censure.

The Promised End,

Down at the bottom of the sortiid little
street where stood Salvationist funeral
was passing. 1t had been raining heavily
and was toward night. The costers bar.
rows stood thick along the cutters, which
cleaned pale green with cabbage refuse
and vegetable decay. A potman threw q
can Of water from window at o cat be-
low; n haggard woman stood lingering
tho dreadful pieces of meat marked lone
penny" on butchers stall The air was
close md dense, packed with ugly noise,
and at the bottom Of the street the process
sion passed-first two flags, drenched and
shivering round their poles, then strident
band playing Shall We Gather at the
Rivery' with drum that came in loudly
at the end of every line. A ragged follow
ing shuflled after The procession passed,
ungainly and grotesque, beating its pa
ghetto way through tho splashing mud.
When 1t was gone, found that my eyes

THERE is bill before the House
of Representatives at Dover that if
passed it is thought will work con-
siderable hardships to the poor
man when wanting to borrow money.
The bill is to make 5 per cent the
legal rate in Delaware, instead of
6per cent. as now. With the Adams
tax law looking off at one end and
the legal rate reduced to 5per cent,
there is a probability that money
that is seeking investments in our
city from other states would be with
drawn. 1t is well enough for our
Legislators to give this bill serious
study before they conclude to vote
for it and make it an odious law.
Everything possible should be done
to induce foreign capital to seek our
city and nothing done to drive it ont
Of the State. The bill will require
a careful scrutiny. and should have
careful consideration.

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY IS. 1909.

The first vote for United States
Senator was taken in the Delaware
Legislature yesterday. The vote
in the House showed that Colonel
DUPONT received 9yotes; ]. Edward
Addicks, IL; Senator George Gray,
8; John G. Gray, 2, and l.. Irving
I Handy, 2. In the Senate the vote
was as follows; Senator Gray, 7;
~. Edward Addicks, 4; w. S. Hilles,
l2;Col. Dupont, L; J. Irving Handy,
! and John G. Gray, l.
To-day the Legislature viii bal
lot in joint session for Senator and
about the same result as yesterday
may be looked for. The dead lock
is on and it is hard to tell when the
Senatorial contest will be decided.
AS can be seen Col. DUPONT and ].
Edward Addicks received the ma
jority of the votes cast but neither
one received enough votes to elect
and the trial of strength may con-
tinue for an indefinite period. Sew
eral regular Republicans have de-
clared that United States Senator
would be elected before the Legisfa-
ture would adjourn and we think so
too. 1t will not be Democrat.
