statement That somewhere IN his balil-
WICK there live two families named
Day and Sunday Providence allotted
seven daughters to the Day family and
the Sunday family was blessed with
seven sons. Some affinity seems to at
tract the Days to the Sundays or the
Sundays TO the Days, whichever you are
pleased to take it, with The result that
nve OF the Day daughters have already
been married TO five OF the Sunday
sons; the betrothal Of the sixth Day to
the sixth Sunday has now been an
nounced, and the seventh Sunday is
now courting the remaining Day.
we congratulate Delaware upon the
proud distinction that is hers. In ordi-
nary life, in our daily construction OF

them are. Saturday fades into Sunday

down the vista OF years, and taking

the Sundays vastly outnumber the

we now understand why the DAYS and

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Democrats are in minority in
the Delaware State Legislature; the
Regular Republicans are also in a mi

enough votes TO dictate the choice OF
United States senators. But by joining
their forces they would be in a major

an arrangement would have several

CITY,s CREDIT SAVED

Some time ago we made the predic-
ton that at late stage in the session
the Democratic members of the House
and Senate would recede from their po-
sltion Of antagonism OF the High
School loan bill Of $15O,OOO That pre-
diction was verified yesterday when
the bill was passed by the unanimous
vote of the members OF both branches
II is true that some OF the Demo
|cratic members took the floor and criti-
cised the Board of Public Education for
contracting and erecting such a large
building as the new High School with
out having the funds in hand or in
sisht, but they one and all voted for
the bill because they knew that II was
IA popular measure, and one involving
the good name, fair fame and credit of
the city.
We congratulate the members Of the
Legislature on their sensible course in
the matter. and also the Board of Pub
lie Education on the success which has
attended their efforts to extricate itself
from a most embarrassing financial
position.
Like the young couple who returned
from their elopement to the parental
roof, the Board Of Pubiic Education
said:
Forgive us, for we will never do so
any more"
And the Legislature has said:
I'VE forgive you this time; but don't
let IL happen again"
Now that the money is available,
under certain restrictions. let the obli-
cations of the city be met and the
high standard Of It's credit maintained.
