Numerous inquiries have recently been receiv-
ed at the New York and Phllade lpha offices of
the Mercantile and Financial Times asking
for information as to the methods and business
of the Storey Cotton Company, whose general
Offices are located in the Bourse Building, Phila
delphia, as well as to the desrab ility and value
of an investment made with this company. On
several occasions in the past there appeared in
these columns extended and favorable references
to this company from the pen of our Philadel-
phia correspondent, and we have carefully watch
ed the progress and operations of the company
in order to determine whether his communication
was jus itied by subsequent Developments
Justice to worthy corporation requires tia
we should extend the editorial endorsement of
this paper to this company at the present time,
and to say that it has more than fulfilled every
claim originally advanced in its behalf 1t is only
simply Ii nth and Justice to say that IL" manage
ment of the company is today entitled to the
highest praise and communication for the con-
scientious and straightforward manner in which
they have carried out all their obligations to
those who have become identified with the en-
terpriSe as investors and we are fully warranted
i'll making the assertion that no financial or in
vestment institution i'll the country can show a
cleaner, more satisfactory ol honorable record
in its liberal treatment of investors and the pub
lie at large than the Storey Cotton Company
We are much gratiiied of course, that the
later development of the company's business
and its fair and equitable methods have justified
the early predictions OF our Philadelphia CORE
Spondent, and it is equally pleasure to add that
the company are today stronger ana better able
to carry out their obligations than at any time in
the past. We have the utmost confidence IN the
Judgment and discretion of our Philadelphia cor
respondent, who has been the regular represent
tative OF this paper in that city for more than
quarter of a century past, and as he has been
thoroughly converSant with the business of the
Storey Company from its inception. as welt as its
plans and methods. its financial stability and the
high character of its management, his uuquali-
fed endorsement of the same naturally carries
great weight
The record of the Storey Cotton Company -
one that can he aSSailed in no particular what
ever; its treatment of its clients has always been
emmenty fair and just, and it has never made
promise that has not been fulfilled to the letter.
We can only emphasize the fact that an invest
ment made with this company possesses every
essential element Of security and remuneration
and we are confident that those Mo make such
Investments Will place their money i'll an enter
prise where every possible safeguard is thrown
around the pridcipal and where large earnings
are assured beyond any reasonable doubt.

LAW AND PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
Experience The Basis of Statute'Makihg ana
Interpretation by Courts.

interpretation ny SouFts'
"The life of the law" says Mr.. JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes, has not
been logic. 1t has been experience"
Its foundation on experience is what
has made the common law, under which
English speaking nations live, SO ade-
quate to the needs of free people. At
first the laws were only the local Gus
toms. Time gave them form and force.
AS centuries passed, so many prece-
dents became established that most
human concerns were covered by them,
and law became mainly the adoption of
old principles to new cases. The
American colonists brought this body of
common law with them, but local ideas
affected it, and the various State courts
have created doctrines unknown in
England, to say nothing of statute laws.
We are Just now entering a position
where public opinion seems to bear
more directly upon legal decisions than
it ever has done since those early days
when public opinion actually made the
common law. The theory of juriStS is
that the Legislature is the proper de
partment for legal changes which are
demanded by public opinion. Often,
however, the courts declare that
statutes are unconstitutional. Amend
mentS, and even statutes are with diff
Guilty applied to the shades of new con-
ditions and the public's wishes. Every
popular Whim should not be put into
effect, and our Constitution was so con-
Structed as to make the people think
well before abandoning an old principle
for new. But fundamental and last
ing changes of opinion must, in one way
or the other, affect the law. They at.
feet statutes obviously, but they also af-
feet the spirit of supreme courts. In
the great settlement of human rights
which we are now facing, in the ques-
tons of capital and labor, black face and
white face, American citizen and sub
ject colony, the courts may hold public
opinion in check, but they will also be
guided by it. The new member of the
Supreme Court, Judge Holmes, fits apt
ly into this situation; for probably no
stronger and more practical philosopher
has been upon that bench since the
death of Chief Justice Marshall.-Colli-
er's Weekly.

SILENT GR1EFS.

There are signs upheaved, there are tears
unwept,
There are lutes unstrung, there are harps
unswept;
There are griefs unknOwn,t there are thoughts
untold,
There are hearts that beat warm when they
seem but cold,
There are loves unlost when they seem SO
dead,
There are wounds unseen that have often
bled.
For the soul feels most when in silence
deep
1t lives unheard as the winds in their sleep.
There are sorrows dark that o'ercloud our
And that shade the heart in our life's glad
day;
There ts are joys unfelt' there are hopes un-
There are pledges hushed, there are vows
unsaid;
There are flowers dead among the blooming
leaves,
There are treasures lost among the golden
Sheaves;
There are memories sweet, and we love
them well,
But the eyes grow dim as their currents
swell.
There are friendships gone like the days of
There are smiles now turned to the coolest
ScOrn;
There are dreams we loved in the days gone
by,
When the sun was warm, and so bright our
sky,
That are past like spray on the oceans
breast,
When the storm has ceased and her waters
rest:
And the heart grows sad that it's loves have
fled
That it's hopes are gone and it's garlands
dead.
There are scenes we know that are faded
now,
There are gathered wreaths and shaded
brow;
There are songs unSung that we love to
hear,
When the heart was fresh and its pleasures
near;
There are footsteps hid in the sands of
time,
There are voices stilled in this earthly
cline;
But the echoes come from the boundless
shore
That lies beyond in the vast evermOre.
There are prayers we breathe for the ones
we love,
While we linger here from our home above !;
Yet we smile to think that our grefs will
cease,
And our hearts rejoice in an endless peace.
Far away above the ETHEREAL blue,
Where each soul is glad and each heart is
true,
We will live in Love, and her radiant beam
Will inspire the soul with heavenly dream.

EXAMINING ROAD
Levy Court Commissioners and
Changers Make Inspection

panied by State Highway Commissioner
Herrigan and committee representing
the Pamona Grange, composed of DIR A.
L. Neale OF Delaware College and Messers.
Walker and Weldin inspected opeat-
ions on the Hare's corner road by the
Christian Construction Company.
The Hare's Corner road, which is two

completed sometime about the first of
December. Already one-half mile has
been completed and another half mile
graded. Operations progressing nicely,

down crushed stone is being carried on
at the same time.
At its meeting Tuesday the Levy Court
opened bids for the road leading from
Odessa to Aliddletown. Proposals for
the Elsmere road we're opened several
weeks ago, but the contract has not yet
been awarded There is question as to
which OF the contracts shall be given out
first, and this matter was discussed at all
informal conference between members
of the Levy Court and Mr.. Horrigan,
following their return from the tour Of
inspection last week.
The levy courtmen also visited New
Castle and made an inspection of the
place where the new sluice is to be in
