American people are not easily dis
couraged and Mr.. Roosevelt who has
already accomplished so much that had
been pronounced impossible is not
likely to be among the first to cry fail
ure. 1t is probably true that the Canal
will be slower of construction than was
anticipated. What man having con-
tracted for the building of a house
ever had it completed when the limit
of time voluntarily set by the builder
had pass ed? 1t may cost more than
the tentative estimate had stated but
was there ever a construction that did
not cost more than the original esti-
mate? There ere adventurers at the
lsthmus and there are feeble spirits
that delight to entertain their friend s
in the States with the tales of the hor.
rors of life there but what wealth
would have ever come out of Alaska if
prospectors had listened to the stories
of disheartened miners and "tender-
feet" who had failed there? Certainl y
the time has not come when the Amer
ican people need to be discouraged

KENT SUNDAY SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION.
Session Held at Camden Last Wednesday
Both Interesting and Instructive.

There was good attendance at the
annual meeting of the Kent County
Sunday School Association in Camden
NJ. E. Church on Wednesday and the
addresses and proceedings were highly
appreciated and enjoyed by all who at
tended the sessions.
Among the resolutions adopted was
the following: Resolved, That we
hereby express our disapproval of those
members of the recent State Senate.
who allowed the attorneys of the liquor
interest to so amend the Local Option
Law as to render it unconstitutional.
If 1t was done through ignorance, we
pity them, but if through design, we
denOunce them as untrue to their oaths
and to the most important legislation
which the people had intrusted to
them. We look with holy horror upon
those members of our church and pro-
Tossing Christians, who refused to vote
for the repeal of the Bottle Law,
which absolutely destroys every pos
sible safeguard of the present license
system.
The following officers were chosen
President, Geo. M. Jones, Dover; vice
president, B. F. B. Woodall, Milford.
corresponding secretary and treasurer,
J. P. Burdette, Smyrna; rec. secretary
Mrs. Carrie G. Ritter, Dover; execu-
tive committee, Wesley Webb, L. M.

State and Peninsula News.

The Grand Jury of Kent last week
indicted on several counts George Kel-
lum and Isaih Vincent of Dover, we'll
known men, for keeping a gambling
house and selling Intoxicating liquors
without license. The men and their
paraphernalia were taken last spring in
a raid by the State detectives.
Isaac X. Wright, of Seaford, who
died last week, aged rs years, was one
of Seaford's most highly respected cit
liens. He was also one-of the wealth
lest men in the town. His funeral
took place Wednesday afternoon,
Revs. W. A. Wise and ]. l.. johnson
and Presiding Elder Morgan officiat
ing. Interment was made at Bridge
vile. Mr.. Wright was a director of
the First National Bank.
After the jury in the case of Eugene
H. Fischer, the Philadelphia boy, who
was convicted of carrying concealed a
deadly weapon at a baseball game at
Frederick, returned verdict, aud he
paid his fine, his attorney asked for
the return of the revolver. Chief JUS
tice Lore and Judge Pennewill offered
no objection, Judge Grubb. replied
that the revolver was no longer the
property of the prisoner, but of the
state, and as such was in the custody
of the attorney-general. When Attor-
ney-General Richards was requested to
return the revolver, he refused to sur
render it, insisting it was the property
of the State.

Water for the Farm.

From American Homes and Gardens.
The farmer is a large user of water. for
no farming operations can be carried on
without It, The installation of q water
plant for farm purposes-for use in the mar
ket house and barn-is, therefore, one of
the first essentials to successful farming.
whis. however. should be but the first step,
for a water plant that gives running water
in the barn can afford the same facility in
the kitchen at small additional expense.
No farm wife need be told of the superior
merits of running water In her kitchen over
the oId-fashioned well, or the hardly less
archaic hand pump. The latter has, of
course some conveniences over the former.
but II entails weary work and adds q
quite unnecessary burden to the many
la bors that fall to the wife on the farm
But assuming that running water has
been brought into the farm kitchen, the
question may well be asked. Why stop
there2 Why not a bath room; why not a
separate bath room for the men help? Why
not shower baths and all the conveniences
that modern plumbing has brought to a
relatively high degree Of efficiency? All
these things should follow as a matter Of
course, and no doubt would do so could the
farmer be convinced as to their utility and
be satisfied that their installation would
not cripple his financial resources. The lat
ter point is apt to have more weight than
the former There is unquestionably large
field for business In this direction.

No Separation for Tennessee.

From the Nashville American.
Talk of a new state Is nonsense. Give up
east Tennessee? Neverl East Tennessee
is one of the richest sections OF the south.
It ia natures storehouse and conservatory.
From Turleytown to Ooltewah, from Glen
alpine to Bucklick, 1t is land of wealth
and loneliness. Its fertile valleys are walled
by blue mountains and traversed by beau
tiful streams that would beguile a preacher
into fishing on Sunday. while there is en-
chanting loneliness in the deep shade OF Its
coyes. It's hills and mountains abound in
coal and iron and marble and zinc and cop
per and gold while in the shadows of the
mountain tops and the recesses Of the
glades is distilled liquid that null
tiplies the vision and robs death of Its ter
rors. East Tennessee Is land Of milk and
honey, of fruits and flowers. politics and
scenery Give up east Tennessee, with Its
blue skies and soft sunshine, its bracing
breezes and Iimpid waters, its green valleys
and purpled mountains. its rich mines and
teeming orchards, its fertile fields and fine
forests, It's beautiful women and freedom

The Uses Of Newspapers.
From Harper's Weekly.

Our newspapers are doubtless awful
things. but we could Ill spare them. 1t is
true-whether Prof. Morse said 50 or not
that most of them devote much space to
murder and base ball. for neither of which
subjects the cultivated reader cares much,
though 1t Is astonishing how the interest in
murder keeps up with the less cultivated
average reader, common though it has be-
come, sad to say. But it is in dealing with
other forms of crime that the labors of the
press are more valuable. Only the news
papers-and nowadays some of the other pc
riodicals-have a constant and sustained in
terest in showing up misgovernment, frauds
on the people, graft, breach Of trust and
mans various forms Of deXterouS inhuman-
ity to man. Newspapers make reforms pos
sible, and when the reforms come. help
greatly to make them successful. The con-
siderable body of our fellow citizens who
find steal and let steal a good enough
maxim for the conduct of life could live up
to 1t far more successfully If it were not
fer the newspapers. Our newspapers might
be much better; they could easily be made
more to the taste of people of taste: but
their unlovely crying of crime, disagreeable
as 1t Is Is an exceedingly important public
duty, and in their faithfulress and vera
cious fortitude In keeping 1t up lies really
the biggest part Of our hope of a higher
standard of honesty in public and private
life There is hope for any kind of rascality
as long as 1t can be kept out OF the papers.

Picture Postal Cards.
I'M the Bose IN Transcript.

From the Boshn Transcript.
The picture postal craze has hit US
Americans at last, and forcibly. Ten years
or more ago the picture postals had already
a wide circulation in Europe. They were
pretty. generally clever, often worth some
thing as souvenirs. and formed agree
able method of remembering the folks at
home. Now the picture postals are bring
ing In their American wake the postal al
buns, sure sign of the popularity of this
pictured private mailing card. AT the N. f.
A, to cite one example. the mail was con-
siderably increased by the sending of AS.
bury Park postal souvenirs.
But there Is one development of the pos
tai picture "craze" that we not only depIore
but protest against, namely. the obscene
card. While passing recently through sew
eral cities we noted their frequency on the
news stand. Many have a certain clever
ness, but 1t is the cleverness of the risque
with. Europe was flooded with question
able cards of this sort; the United States
should be no further culture ground for
them. Our laws forbid the transmission or
obscene matter through the mails; it is OBJ
yious however, that where there is much
selling there must be some sending. We
protest. however, particularly against the
display of these cards, be it In Boston or
elsewhere. 1t Is a kind Of publicity that we
believe can be checked and soon stamped
out by counter-publicity Of the facts by
the press,

Civic Betterment.
From American Homes and Gardens.

From American Homes and Gardens.
The work the body politic has to do in
civic betterment is becoming more and
more appreciated, and Is yearly bringing
fruitful results. Comprehensive schemes for
the improvement of an entire city have
already been brought forward in many To-
calities, and while the direct results as yet
assured are small, the first essential steps
have been taken. Plans proposed for Wash
ington, New York. Cleveland and other
cities have aroused great public interest,
not only among the individual citizens, but
amcng the governing authorities. Whether
realized or not, these plans are indicative
of good. and point to something accom-
p!lshed. They mean the body politio
Is being aroused, that statesmen whose
time was formerly concerned with the
granting Of railroad franchises and the re-
naming OF streets, are looking toward pub
lie art. They mean q positive and great ex-
tension of the movement for civic better
rnent for they mean that the last Of the
three great elements which must help in
this work has awakened to Its value. This
AT least was necessary before anything
could be accomplished. The next step will
be realization. This Is the end Of all
movements for civic bstterment.
