Some Pertinent Suggestions About
the Scholarships.
The following editorial from the
Newark Ledger contains some pertinent
suggestions about the two vacant Sena-
torships from Democratic viewpoint,
and 1t will be read with interest:
Senator II. r. Kenney and Willard
salisbury, Esq, are two very energetic
Democratic workers Just now. The
former is Kent countian and the
latter of this county.
Senator kenney is anxious for re-
election. Can any serious fault be
found with the desire? Also, Mr..
Salisbury is somewhat DESTROYS of
being United States Senator. A very
honorable position. Mr.. Salisbury may
suit the people, but there are other
pebbles to be considered.
Ii the majority of candidates to be
elected to the Legislature are to be I'M
pledged, these two honorable gentlemen
will have to take chances like many
other honorable gentlemen.
Pledged candidates will not be
fashionable this fall. Candidates must
be untrammelled by party pledges The
question Of electing United States
Senators has been farce in this State
long enough.
We find no fault with the gentlemen
named, only they must take chances
| like other political aspirants. We he,
| lieve that there will not be a pledged
candidate elected in this county this
fall.
Deadlocked Legislatures should be
things OF the past In fact we much
| prefer to see United States Senators
elected by direct vote of the people,
but as this seems to be too far in the
future, the next best thing is to elect
good unpledged men to the Legislature
men who obey no rarty whip, and we
feel sure that the State will be ably
represented in Congress.
There are many good Democrats in
Delaware who would, and very properly,
desire to have chance at the senator.

When boy turns his bullying pocket
inside out we marvel at the quantity
and variety of articles he has slowed
away. Odd lengths of string, marbles,
a horse-chestnut, top, brass nails,
hickory-nuts, an apple, and many more
articles are garnered by this "snapper
up of unconsidered trihes. y We think
the collection must he hard on a boys
pocket. And it is. But do we ever
think of the variety and miscellany Of
the substances we put into the pocket
of our stomach? There's the apple and
the nuts, and things besides quite as
indigestible as brass nails and with no
more food value than so many marbles.
And yet we wonder that the stomach
"gives out When the stomach breaks
down under the strain of careless eating
and irregular meals it can be perfectly
and permanently restored to health and
strength by the use of Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The action
of this medicine on the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition
is SO marked, that relief from disease
is at once experienced, and the head
aches, liver TROUBLES" kidney dis
| orders, skin eruptions and other sylnp-
/ toms of diseased stomach are quickly

medicine is indicated, use DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They act in harmony
with the Discovery" and assist its
action by purging the bowels of foul
accommodations.

Good Work by the Grand Jury.

The grand jury of New Castle county,
Monday, lin addition to returning a
bill of Indictment against Patrick
Fahey for subornation of perjury in
connection with the trial of John
Lynn, returned hill of indictment
against Sheriff Samuel A. Mcdaniel,
Mayor Evan G. Boyd of New Castle,
and Harvey Wigglesworth and Walter
Rash, former employees at the old
county jail, charging them with con-
spiracy to defraud the county out OF
money on account of the commitment
of Migrants to New Castle Jail and OF
the board of such Migrants and other
inmates of the Jail.
The action of the grand jury in find
ing the indictment against Sheriff Nc
Daniel, Mayor Boyd and the two prison
employees is significant and important.
It indicates that at last the processes
Of the law are being directed against
what has been shown to be, to use the
mildest term applicable, the grossest
imposition that the taxpayers of New
Castle county ever rested under--tht
payment of enormous bills for the com
mitment of tramps to New Castle iai

EXPENSES AT DELAWARE COLLEGE.

Living and other necessary expenses
aJ Delaware College are probably as
low as at any institution in the East,
and much lower than at the larger
colleges. Tuition is free to all resi-
dents of Delaware, and is $50 u year to
students from other States. To thoss
students not occupying rooms in the
dormitory the annual charge for fuel,
janitor's services. use of the library
and incidentalS is Sll. Students
rooming in the dormitory Ray in ad-
dition to these charges 522 n ycar for
room ront jdnitor's fees and heat.
Thus the total cost to students resident
in the State and occupying rooms in
the dormitory is S'i3 Il year. The total
cost to non residents rooming in the
dormitory is 500 per year
Board is furnished by the students
Boarding Club at an average monthly
charge of Sl2, or about 500 for the
entire college year In rast years the
rate in the boarding club has been
somewhat lower, and IL may be again
when the price of meat falls.
1t will thus be seen that the total
cost of living and ordinary college ex-
Tenses is about S135 per year for
students occupying rooms in the dormi-
tory Board and lodging may lie had
in the village for somewhat more than
the rate of the dormitory and the
Boarding Club, though the increased
cost is in the item of lodging rather
| than that of board. The dormitory is
lighted by electricity and the students
pay for it at cost.
There are few other expenses in
| the shape Of laboratory fees amounting
| in all to less than $40 year. The cost
of books need not DO above Sl5 or $40 a
| year in most of the courses, and the
military suits worn much of the time
by the students cost from SIG. so to
8l7.50.
1t may be said that student at
Delaware College may meet all neces-
sary expenses connected with his
education, may lodge, feed and clothe
himself, contribute his share to tho
| cost of common amusemunts, and dc
whatever may be necessary to maintain
himself on an equal footing with his
fellows at an expense of not more than
1925, and some students do all this fol
considerably less
A few students who feel that they
can r1t meet all the necessary expenses
of college life pay their way in part by
| waiting at table in the dining club, by
helping in the management of the
club, by conducting the advertising
business of the monthly review pub
lished by the students, and by ;
variety of other work. There is mos
wholesome democratic spirit in the col
lege on the subject of such work, anC
the young men who have worked thei
way have usually been among the mos
popular of the students. There is no
q great deal to be earned in the various
ways indicated, but several students il
almost every class thus meet at leas
half OF their college expenses, and som,
considerably more than half. As th,
college grows the opportunity of earn
ing money by students will undoubtedl,
increase. The electrical department i
likely to have more employment TO
students, and there will in time be NJ
opportunity for tutoring.

The town of Milford, according to
the News and Advertiser, is the victim
of . most amazing scandal. 1t appears
that there are number of very bad
women in the town, and it is the
custom of the men who associate with
them to introduce them to male
strangers and visitors under the names
of various respectable women of Mil
ford, married and single. Naturally,
the names of the women thus so
villainously scandalized are banded
about in the places where these
strangers reside, immensely to their
discredit 1t is hard to conceive what
should be tho remedy for an evil of this
character, but the rawhide, or tar and
feathers, are natural suggestions.
