. TURNPIKE DISCUSSED.
Meeting of Farmers and business Mon "a

About IS farmers and business nj, \
living in and near Newport held .
meeting Mt James II. Folks shor, in
Newport, Monday evening. TO discuss
matters pertaining to the Wilmington
\ Newport turnpike. Dr. Frank l..
Springer presided. The announcement
was made that the road is out of repair
in some places. Remarks on the sub.
lect were made by number Of people
who are frequent users of the road.
After the charter of the company
had been discussed at length Samuel
H. Mccoy, a farmer living near New
port, was instructed to go before MaglS-
tratc Iratcs and make formal com
plant about the condition of the road,
such action being deemed in accordance
WITH the charter. He was instructed
to have the magistrate issue precopt

hundred through which the road runs,

sections Of road found to be out Of

mission, within IL days, and they are
to notify the toll takers not to collect

The Wilmington City Railway Co
owns 2 majority of the stock in the
turnpike company and it is said tue
company is willing to lease the pike

right to run the trolley road thereon,

defective places in the road. As u
matter of fact, it was in. about ia

WILMINGTON, THURSDAY FEB. o.
What is Meant by "As Usual. !"

The following editorial paragraph APP
pears in this weeks issue Of the Union
Republican of Georgetown, leading
organ Of Addicks Republicanism:
The Smyrna Call wants to "smoke
the traitors OUT" but does not seem to
know how to get at the traitors. Dur
ing the last campaign so the Call
says certain men known as Democrats,
and who were admitted to the private
oounsels of the party, gave their secrets
away. No one seems willing to catch
the "snake, F." and as fiery resolutions
do not create enough smoke to injure
any Democrat, we may expect the
secrets to leak out, as usual.
This expression: ''We may expect
the secrets to leak out, as usual" is
significant. There is more in it than
appears on the surface 1t is highly
suggestive of an involuntary, unin-
tended admission of very important
fact.
The significance of the remark lies
in the careless, off-hand use of the
term "as usual" Taken in this con-
nection, the remark of this organ Of
Union Republicsnism will assume this
form: 1--WE may expect Democratic
party secrets to be brought to the
Union Republican camp, for sale, as
usual -
GAS usual?" Well, as usual during
the past two or three State campaigns
at least. For it is fact that Demo
cratic party secrets have been thus con
veyed to the enemy by Democratic
traitors, upon more than one occasion
Men who had long been recognized al
Democrats, some who were active il
party work and therefore admitted t.
party confidence, and even some VIII,
had been honored by the party b,
Z elevation to public office are amonl
those strongly suspected of this bas
political treachery, which is now prac
tically admitted by Union Repuh
lican organ.
OF course. these men did not &C
in this treacherous manner withou
motive, and the motive, it is presumed
was personal gain. They made mar
ketsble commodity of their treachery
and found good market for their mis-
cradle wares. The Union Republica
party, by these disreputable means
became possessed Of Democratic part
secrets by paying these traitors thei
price, and profited accordingly.
We doubt very much, however, tina
the Union Republican leaders, as thei
organ SO complacently asserts, Una
expect" to continue the purchase {
Democratic party secrets from ven;
and treacherous Democrats, as usual.
The game has been exposed and SON
of the chief traitors are known. Ths
they will be admitted to tho part
councils this year is not to be expected
and so close watch will be kept th,
Union Republican money will not /
permitted to again tempt and CORFU
Democrats to betray their party to Il
political enemy. That kind of worl
once it has been detected, may |
guarded against as effectually as ca
any other kind of low political trucker
And so we paraphrase the innocel
admission Of the Union Republican
Georgetown into this form: "You m;
not expect the secrets of the Dem
Cratic party to be sold to your part
as usual, in this year of grace. ~

A Coin That is Not Needed.

Mr.. Andrew II. Green of New York
city has prepared bill, which will be
introduced in Congress, providing for
the coinage and circulation of 21s-
cent piece, or quarter-dime, Mr.. Green
holds that the progress of science has
revolutionized prices and created de-
mand for subsidiary coin between the
l.cent and 5-cent pieces. He particu-
larly urges that the demand for it is
made almost absolute by the growing
tendency towards reduced street car
fares, and that the coin he provides for
would materially encourage such re-
duction.
But, aside from the remote proba-
bility Of 21a-cent railway fare, it is
hard to conceive any good reason for
bringing the 216-cent piece into exist
ence. Years ago our coinage included
the half-cent piece, but time proved
its uselessness, and its coinage was
abandoned. Later we had tho 2-cent
piece, but after an existence of a few
years it proved itself to be a real
nuisance, and was abandoned in ac
cordance with the unanimous wish O.
the people.
How 21s-cent piece would Prov
useful or convenient, aside from being
the mediary of a reduced railway fare
it is hard to conceive. We feel safe
therefore, in predicting that Mr.
GREEN'S measure for the coinage of
21a-cent piece will not be enacted int,
law by Congress.

"Wanted--A Leader"

Under this caption the Dover Index
prints a thoughtful and carefully
written editorial treating of the quail
ties lof leadership, which closes as
follows:
what applies to successful organi-
cation in the industrial world will,
with equal if not greater force, apply
to successful organization in the politi-
cal world. The first and greatest object
to be attained in either case is a wise.
experienced and trustworthy manager
of affairs.
Can it be said with any degree of
seriousness or truthfulness that the
Democratic party of Kent county is
the possessor of such leader today?
Is there man at the head of Demo-
cratic party in this county around
whom the people are willing to gather
and with spontaneous feelings of good
will accept him as their political chief?
We think not. A leader who has been
brought into leadership by the force of
confidence of the Democrats of Kent
county is wanting. Self-assumed and
self-appointed leaders we have. They
are leaders of their own choosing and
not appointed by the people Leaders
whom the people refuse to follow fol
fear of dark and dangerous ground.
1.-THE time has been not far distant
when Kent county furnished her quota
of competent, capable and trustworthy
leaders. Men upon whom the people
could rely and whose habiliments wert
placed upon them by a constituenc,
whose interests we're not subordinatec
to personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and in
dividual greed.
"That the places now vacant can b,
filled admits of no doubt; hut so lon,
that it is permitted for the individual
to enhance personal interests to tn
detriment of the party's welfare, s.
long will trust worthy and capabl
leadership hold aloof and refuse to b

Resident of Another State Wanted by the
Federal Authorities.
A few months ago man from New
Jersey came to Delaware and engaged
in what the authorities believed TO be
an oleomargarine manufacturing bust
ness near Claymont Internal revenue
men looked into the matter and finding
that the special tax had not been paid
sought an explanation. 1t is said that
the stranger alleged that he was simply
experimenting and that he intended to
pay the tax when he found the product
could be placed on the market.
This did not satisfy the Federal
officials, however, and an indictment
was found two weeks ago by the grand
jury. Since that time, however,
nothing has been seen OF the stranger
hereabout, and it is believed that he
is in another State.

speed was twenty-five miles an hour, but
on good stretches a forty-mile clip was
