WI u
II you are sore
TO the core.
With aching bones,
And husky tones
When you speak,
And you're weak
In the knees,
And you sneeze,
And you cough
Your head off.
And you note
That your throat
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Fells as if
You'd got a bih,
And dull pains
Nex your brains.
Then you've caught il,
You hav got it

Ger your frame
Like a flame,
Till you burn
And you yearn
For chunks of ice
At any price,
Then like a flash
The shivers dash
From head to feet.
A chill complete,
And you shake,
And You quake.
And there's desire
For a fire.
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quickly drink.
And you think.
Right there and then
You'll ne'er be warm again
Then you've caught it.
You have got it
It's the grip.
It's in the air.
It's everywhere:
The microbe of the grin
Is on another trip.
And up and down,
Through all the town,
BY night and day
1t seeks its prey,
And it's the fad
II you are sad,
Or even mad,
Or if you sneeze.
Or cough or wheeze
Or feel too warm,
Or chills alarm.
To wear a look OF grim dismay
And hoarsely say:

While the Legislature always has
been prone to bleed Wilmington for
State purposes, it never has shown d
disposition to divide the spoils with
City Council or any other municipal
department for city purposes. The bill

providing that any city or incorporated
town ia the State shall receive two
thirds of the revenue de-
rived by the State for
liquor licenses issued in said cities
or towns, has been to Dover before in
slightly different form, and failed to le-
ceive the approval Of the Legislature.
Two facts operate in favor Of the bill
this time, however, which exercised
no influence two years ago. The first
Is that the State is deriving from the
operations Of the General Incorporation
law large sums OF money which II new
er received before. The second is that
the form of the bill is such that every
city and incorporated town in the State
has a proportionatei interest in the plan.
This should serve to break down the
sectional prejudice which heretofore
has stood in the way Of our city OBJ
tanning its fair share Of the money paid

NEGAIlNE fNCOuRAGEMENT

1t is a dangerous thing for the Legls-
lature and City Council to encoruage
departments of public government TO
make expenditures in excess OF APP
propriations. but they do It right
along. and seemingly never take any
blame to themselves. II must not be
forgotten that there Is a negative as
well as an affirmative encouragement
Public departments are required by
law and public sentiment 10 do certain
things. Those certain things demand
the expenditure OF certain sums of
money more or less fixed in the minds
OF those who are acquainted most in
timately with the work When the
representatives of a public depart
ment go to the Legislature or City
Council and prove by facts and fig-
ures that they need and must have GER
tain moneys, and when the Leglsla-
ture or City Council appropriates
amounts several thousand dollars be-
low the demand that is a negative en-
couragement for making the depart
mental expenditures exceed the appro-
prlations. The deficiency in the funds
OF the trustees OF the Delaware State
Hospital, at Farnhurst, for instance. is
the result of such negative encourage-
ment on the part OF the Legislature,
and now that body must make good
out OF the State treasury the money
needed to rectify its own short-slght-
edness.
A public department should have all
the money it needs to do the things
required of IL, and when it has been
given there should be a distinct under
standing that the expenditures must
be kept strictly within the limits OF
the appropriation, and that no def
cheney appropriation will be allowed
