RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSIES.

Religious wars are never productive
of any good; they usually end in a
drawn battle leaving a little M feeling
but nobody convinced
Recently a clergyman OF this city
preached a sermon on the Bible. giving
TO his congregation an exposition Of the
doctrines OF the faith to which they
subscribed. One Of the newspapers OF
the city, which with a spirit Of catholi-
city prints from time to time the dis
courses OF the Wilmington clergymen
Of all denominations. printed this SER
mon. II probably holds the view that
a variety OF opinions win prove inter-
esting, that the broad minded viii read
and not be harmed and. that those who
are prejudiced In advance will exer-
else their right to skip It,
But what happened was this. A
clerical writer In church paper de-
nounced the author Of the sermon in
language that hardly suggests breadth,
or even tolerance. II was simply
abuse. without any attempt at argu-
ment And now the publication OF the
sermon is severely criticised by a COM
mittee Of clergymen. who very natur-
ally wish to defend their faith but who
apparently forget that men holding
different views have equal rights with
them
Now let us look at it for a moment
from the standpoint of the secular
press. It is customary for the leading
papers TO print sermons. Tho Brooklyn
Eagle, foH instance. publishes in full
several hundred sermons during the
year covering wide variety Of faiths
and subjects. II the press is to dc
this at all. It must not confne itself tc
one denomination. It must seek dis
courses that compel thought and thai
from the standpoint Of their authors
are profoundly reverent. For this WORK
the press should receive commendation
since it requires effort to maintain thi,
attitude.

GOOD ROADS TALK.

The farmers are busy discussing the
subject Of good roads these days. They
have leisure now, though how they can
get to these meetings If they have to
drive over Cthrough) the roads we have
at present Is something Of a conun-
drum.
They want good roads. and II the
longing grows in intensity and becomes
epidemic they'll get them.
There are some things that are dis
couraging. For instance these same
farmers would strenuously object to
raising the tax rate. And then a part
OF the money that they help to raise by
paying taxes is. under the law. used
for the benefit OF private individuals.
For instance. the money which has
been spent and which will be spent 10
build mill dams for certain gentlemen
who want them very much would build
many miles OF roads.
And then our system needs REFORM
Ing. There are two sections OF road;
one needs repairing badly and the
other doesn't need much done to II. 1t
probably happens that an equal sum is
devoted to each.
Under a proper system with the
money now appropriated we could have
better roads. AS at present each Levy
Court Commissioner must have his
share OF the appropriation. There
should be road commissioner for each
county--a road engineer. He should
make his annual estimate and be al
lowed to spend the money in. the Inn
provements he had mapped out II in
his 1udgPent he thought best to use
a large part OF the total sum to make
few miles Of permanent road. he
should be allowed to do It. It Is the
only way to solve the problem.
The good roads idea as It exists ir
many minds is as impracticable as q
railroad TO the moon. To change ever,

New Castle, March 15.-Edmund e.
Mitchell, Jr., Of Wilmington, who pur-
chased the New Castle Gas Plant. has
been here looking over his newly ac-
qulred property.
Mr.. Mitchell will practically rebuild
and re-equip the plant and place il in
a condition to give good service TO
the patrons. For some time past there
has been considerable dissatisfaction
over the service furnished by the COM
pany. Many people have been without
gas at intervals and there has recently
grown up a demand for kerosene lamps
and even candles. Patrons Of the gas
company have been assured that all
this trouble Is a thing of the past and
as soon as alterations can be made the
service viii be greatly improved.
II is said that the mains may be ex-
tended to South Wilmington In order to
supply that part of the city. Nothing
definite. however, has been given out
yet concerning the plans Of the new
owner, who has not yet had time to ar
range details Of the proposed improve
ments.
