How to Get Legieiatton.


8 8 aid to highway improve
4 L ment all over the country
NW than at any time since Con-
gresham Brownlow first introduced
his bill providing for it. AS more and
more the subject is discussed in the
press more and more is it seen that the
proposition simply covers the discharge
of National obligation to>1he people
who furnish life and sustenance to
the Government, There is no, family or
individual in the United States unaf-
fected by highway conditions. Im-
proved highways in the United Stares
would save to the people the enormous
sum of sG00,00o,00o every year. The
Department of Agriculture is authority
for the figures. Statistics gathered by
Government agents from 200 counties
show that it costs an average Of TWEEN
ty-five cents a mile to haul ton sofs
produce. On the level on good mac
adam road horse can draw 6i00
pounds; on the, best dirt roads, he can
draw $500, or not quite half as much;
OH muddy roads he can only draw
1000 POUNDS, about one-seventh what
he can draw on the level macadam
road. Thus we. see that it costs the
farmer seven times as much to carry
his products to the railroads or the
countys town over a muddy road as It =.
would over goodt Gacadam, road
Thanks again to the Department OF
Agriculture, we know how much 1T
costs the farmers of the United States
to get crops to market, and the figures
show that system of good .wagcl
roads would pay larger dividend to
the country than our expensive system
of railroads. Briefly, it costs the farms
ers annually (the figures are Officially
$346,414,665.54 to move their products. I
AS at least five-sixths Of it is moved
on dirt roads and bad ones at that,
there would be saving to the farmers
Of at least sixty per cent. Of this cost
if we had macadam roads. Or, as
stated above. bad roads cost the farm
ers annually 5000. 100000. This is more
than all the railroads Of the, United
States receive for freight. 1t is this
appalling condition the Government 10
asked to appropriate $e4, ,000, 900 to help
cure. The States cannot do It unaided,
but with s24,OOo,OO0 distributed
through three years to States and coun-
ties that will accept the conditions Of
the Brown!ow-Latimer bill, such q I
stimulus will be given to road improve
ment as will in a very few years lift {
agriculture out Of the ruts and save;
to the country the enormous sum now
lost as the cost OF bad roads.
The way to relief is to demand It OF
your own Senator and Representatives
by letter, by community petition and
by. resolutions Of 'neighborhood good
roads meetings. Write to Hon. Nv. F..
Erownlow for a copy Of his bill, and
to your @. S. Senator for Senate Doc
ument No. 2O4. Fifty-eighth Congress,
I'd Session. The way to get good roads
legislation is to make the call for it-sos
determined and emphatic that the Con.
gress will not fail to act

Cadet Leysath Granted Discharge.
The only recent development re-
ported in the matter of the hazing
of Cadet Leysath at the South. Car
olina Military Academy was the
granting of an honorable discharge to
the victim. His application for such
discharge is alleged to have brought
upon him the padding for which
seven Of his classmates are still IN
der arrest. Leysath was up in his
studies, and his request, being indors-
ed by his parents in Orangeburg, 1t
could not we'll be denied. The author

the further disposition of the case.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

VAT HE1HER the old Water Board
w was at fault or the new Water
Board is at fault, or whether the blame
may be put upon the Legislature this
city in It's efforts TO give the people pure
water has demonstrated in the most
striking manner the way it should not
be done.
The dinculty began when the weldr
farm was purchased ns the site Of the

chased a site. It was almost Immediately
abandoned and then negotiations were
opened with an Indiana company whose
valuable patents threatened to load us up
with debt that would require several
generations 10 llquidate. Not satisfied
with the lesson contained In one contract.
another was entered into, and the suit
resulting remains unsettled.
Then a great period Of time was wasted
IN selecting new sites and abandoning
them; in drawing plans that were never
used and in having experts estimate
water rights that we did not need.
And at last We are TO have pure water

wasted two or three years we must pay
$4,000 for a temporary affair. when by
this time we might have had the perma-
nent filter.
And how are we to get the seOOoOg BY
the favorite method. which Is TO ask
Council to make an extraordinary ap-
preparation. which We doubt very much
whether it has authority to do These
appropriations are authorized for an
emergency, something unforeseen; yet
we have known an about the needs Of our
water system for years. and could have
had the proper authorization from the
LEGISLATURE had we gone before that body
ana frankly stated our needs.
This matter Is Of sufficient Importance
TO ask the Governor TO call an extra ses-
sion Of the Legisiature-though we pre-
sumo that by the time It convened we
should get into a wrangle over the ques-
tion Of what we really want.

ElLL THAT EMPTY sEAT.

This talk Of harmony among an
the Republicans Of this state
has a substantial basis and the wip-
ing out Of factional differences is in
evitable
But there is one thing which logic
ally forces itself upon the public at
tention as matter to be attended Ia
frst-the nlnng Of that vacancy in
the United states Senate.
No matter who Is responsible for
that vacancy-we may charge it to
the frost that killed the peaches If We
choose-but 1t is=a fact that confronts
us.
And while this vacancy remains the
Republicans Of Delaware are open to
oensure for failure to perform duty,
For Senator is not simply repre-
sentative of the Republican party; he
IS the representative Of the sovereign
state Of Delaware. Therefore. as long
as We remain with half representa-
tion the Republican party has some-
thing 10 explain. something for which
it has no adequate excuse.
II is given out unomciany that re-
organization contemplates the elec-
tion of one senator. the choice Of Kent
and Sussex. and the election OF anoth-
er, the choice Of New Castle. Now
II that policy is to be adopted in good
faith there is no possible reason for
refusing to fill the vacancy now by
choosing a man who is the choice OF
the members from New Castle
II Kent and Sussex balk at this
program it viii be evidence ..~4 4so
proposed arrangement is a matter Of
oompulsion and will not be acauiesced
in when Il may be evaded
We can conceive nothing that would
so take the bitterness and the sting
out OF party discords as to have the
Legislature meet and an that vacan-
cy-do 1t cheerfuIy and heartily by
electing the choice of New Castle
county That act would mean that
every man In the State would heartily
indorse the sentiment that the mem-
bers from Kent and Sussex at the
next session shall make their choice
Of a Senator from one of these coun-
ties TO succeed Senator Alice.
Common prudence suggests this
course. for IL by accident the Demo-
Gratis should control the next Legis-
aature and we leave this vacancy. they
would send two Democrats to wash
angton instead Of one.
That vacancy should be filled so
that the new Senator can take his seat
when Congress meets in December.

What It says in the following may
be Interpreted as deliberate falsifyine.
neglect TO read the Republican papers
or inability to understand plain Enc
lish:
Immediately upon the publication OF
the interview with Senator Alice by
the correspondent of the Phlladelphia
Press the Republican papers OF this
State. including those which had moi
been friendsly to Addiclxs. began tc
print editorials in which the cours,
OF the Senator was highly approved
and he was commended for his politi.
cal virtue in thus breaking away from
his politically corrupt coparcener, and
coming out for n e elimination" OF
Aodieks and the union Of the Repub-
lican factions.
With the exception Of a brief edi-
torlai IN the Morning News commend
ing Senator Alice for his course, we
DO not recall that any paper has print
cd editorials in which the course OF
the Senator is highly approved" we
know that the editor Of the Every
Dvening is incapable OF making fine
distinctions. and equally incapable OF
admitting anything that he doesn't
want to admit but just the same. the
Republican press in general. has sim
ply taken occasion to show to the
world the true character OF Addicks

OF Alice.

that he will become the successor OF

ed2 Whatever his motives-make
them as base as you nke--isn't it bet
ter to repudiate Addicks at this late
date than never to repudiate him2
But the Every Evening urges Addicks
has given him presents and political
preferment Suppose he has, what
was his motive-pure philanthrophy
Nay, nay; he was taking a gamblers
chance. and it isn't good ethics to
insist that one shall hold himself NOR
ally bound to do the viii of leper
forever.
Now we will put the Every Even
ing a plump question: What would il
have had Senator Alice dog Would #
have had him continue to fight the
battle OF Addicks for years to come
We suspect that it would. And why
because that would have meant a
continuance OF Republican discords
and possibly a Democratic triumph.
1t would perpetuate evil that good to
Democracy might come Of It,.
But cannot 1t put aside its PARTISAN
ship for n moment and see that there
is promise in the present state Of ar
fairs OF better politics and a cessa-
tion Of wranging. and that this is a
matter Of moment to all good citizens?
How does the Every Evening ex-
pect the Democratic party to make
its fights If not by utilizing the ma
terial It has and some Of It is rotten
lenough. And since 1t is so free with
it's advice how would II suggest that
the Republican party go about reor-
lganization?
This tenderness for Addicks that it
has discovered it is likely to nourish,

lgleefully: who knows what Addicks
may do for revenge" II he does It
