Arbor and Bird Day.

To promote protection to trees and
birds, and to awaken an interest in arbor-
iculture, with view not only to engen-
der healthy public spirit in regard to
them, but also to stimulate hearty CO.
operation on the part of citizens of this
State in the preservation of the remnants
OF our forests and the protection of our
birds, it is recommended that this day be
observed by all public schools, private
schools, colleges and other institutions,
by the planting of trees and the adorn-
ment of the school and public grounds
and by suitable exercises, having for their
object the advancement of the study of
arboriculture and the promotion of the
spirit of protection of our birds and trees
and the cultivation of an appreciative
sentiment concerning them.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF.
/, Preston Lea, Governor of
the State of Delaware, have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Great Seal of the

hundred and five, and the

THE SENATORSHIP

For the first time since 1895,
Excepting on the day in 1908
when Senators Ball and Alice
were elected) J. Edward Addicks
is now receiving fewer votes than
the other Republican candidate.
Agreement between the Repnbli-
cans and the Union Republicans
who favor compromise, resulted
in Harry A. Richardson receiv-
ing 16 votes against Addicks' Is.
Mr.. Richardson is in every way
fitted for the position, the only
objection that has been urged
against him being that of loca-
ton. While New Castle County
is in favor of a New Castle
County man, we think the Repub-
icans of this County would well
come Mr.. Richardson's election.
The situation at present seems to
be up to Senator Alice. If he
desires a colleague he can have
one. He knows as well as anyone
that Addicks is impossible now,
as in the past, and will be SO in
the future. But, if he desires a
vacancy now with the idea that
it will help his chances in 1907,
he can hold enough members to
Addicks to bring about the vac
ancy. We seriously doubt, how
ever, that such action will help
him in the next Legislature.
While political memories are
short, they are usually two years
long.

MIDDLETowN, DEL, INCH. IS, 1905.
LOCAL OPTION

The House of Representatives
by a vote of 10 to 13, three OF the
members dodging the vote, pass
ed the measure to give the voters
of Kent County the right to de-
eide whether liquor shall be sold
in that County. It is probable
that. the measure will also pass
the Senate. At this writing no
action has been taken on similar
measures affecting rural New
Castle and Sussex Counties, but
bills are to be considered.
A strong fight was made by
the liquor interests to defeat all
these measures. Under the con-
stitution, the Legislature has the
right to give the people this
privilege whenever it deems il
necessary. The main objection
lies in the loss Of revenue to the
State, and that as consequence,
other means of taxation will have
to be devised. THE TRANSCRIPT
has always been in favor of the
proposition that whatever a ma
iority of the people want, they
should should have have. It is the plan on
which onr American system of
government is founded.
We are not of the opinion that
prohibition is the best means OF
settling the liquor question, but
are firm in the belief that a high
license and the granting of such
license to any person who desires
to engage in the business, pro-
vided he be of good character,
would be much better. There is
no more reason that the number
of hotels or saloons should be
limited, than that the number of
-four stores, dry goods stores,
etc., should be limited.
