In his address at the opening of the

President Roosevelt pays high tribute

grade of citizenship turned out from
our public servants, of individuals as
sociated in private life with the up

the admiration and respect Of all who
value citizenship at its true worth than
the body composed of the teachers in

PRESIDENT Eliot says labor unions
prevent young men from becoming
competent mechanics by limiting the
number of apprentices in factories, and
adds that the object of the unions
seems to be to work as few hours as
possible, produce as little as possible
and get as much as possible. He has a
profound contempt for any man who
does not choose to labor every day as
long as his strength permits. "There
is too much truth in what he says
about the restriction of apprentices
and the attempt'to raise wages without
a corresponding increase in quantity
and quality of work DONE" say the
Easton GGzettee. ''This tendency has
nearly killed England's trade, but we
think he errs when he says a man
should labor as long as his strength
permits: a man does his best work
when he leaves a reserve of force from
day to day. Exhaustlng labor is
waste"

places for the purpose of making bet
ter roads. This state is supplied with
an unlimited quantity of the best
granite and yet comparatively little OF
it is used at home
IF the state could become aroused
to the necessity of building better
roads, and impressed with the wisdom
OF enacting sensible and comprehen-
siVe road act wonders could be brought
about in a few years. If the three
counties would unite and bring about
the building of a good highway, for
instance, from Wilmington to Lewes,
by the way of Dover and Milford, it
would do much to open the state. It
would make the trip between Lewes
and Wilmington a revelation to many
folks who know but little of the two
lower counties and the beauties of the
state, to say nothing of the magnii-
cent ocean front at Lewes.
'1t is economy to build good roads,
and 1t is better to bring about the con-
struction of two or three/miles of per-
feet highways every year than to keep
on patching the make-believe roads
to be found everywhere iu the state.
The necessity of more mileage of good
roads and systematic scheme of re-
pairing the highways should be ap-
parent. Good roads are not designed
solely for pleasure riders. They are
an investment for owners of farms
who have to use them, and for the
people of the future. The saving of
two or three horses year is a matter
of no small moment to many farmers.
and it is better to use one horse in
stead of two.
''New Castle county, in particular,
has no excuse for continuing its many
miles of disreputable roads, and with
the vast bulk of available stone on
hand, and to be had for the labor in.
VolVed, the way is clear to provide a
system of roads in this country that
would add to its wealth and be of in
cGlculable advantage to everybody.
The agitation in favor of good roads !
should be kept up. Perhaps some day |
light may appear suddenly and the |
'tate will begin to adopt modern meth
DDS of road building.
