OOvsRS EXCITING TOWN ELECTION.
Came Off Monday and Two Tickets 10 the
Field Furnished Lively Contest.


One of the most interesting munich
pal elections held in Dover in recent
years, was that of Monday afternoon.
When the polls opened at one o'clock
there were two tickets in the field.
One, "The Citizens Ticket" nomi-
mated on Saturday evening, was com
posed of the following: Mayor, Will
liam H. Walker; COuncilmen-First
district, Henry Ridgely, Jr.; Second,
William L Pritchett; Third, James
A. Hirons; Fourth, James A. KERN +;
Assessor, Michael J. Scanlon. The
peoples Ticket" was brought out at
the last hour, and was identical with
the above, excepting that in the Third
district, the name of A. B. Moore ap-
peared, and for assessor, the name of
Lon W. Clifton. The supporters of
the two tickets worked hard and 232
votes were cast, as follows: Mayor
William H. Walker, 226 votes.
Councilmen-First district, Henry
Ridgely, Jr. 22S; Second, William L.
Pritchett, 227; Third, James A. Hirons
112, and A. B. Moore, 113; Fourth,
James A. KERN, 231. Assessor-Lon
W. Clifton, 124, Michael J. Scanlon,
100. The friends of Hirons and Scan
Ion, the two defeated candidates, were
indignant at another ticket being
brought out. as it was understood the
one nominated on Saturday evening
was to be the official ticket. The new
Council will meet the first Monday
night In February for organization.

The Lending Hand

In old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and
led them away from the city of de-
struction. We see no white winged
angels now, but yet men are led away
from threatening destruction; hand is
put into theirs which leads them forth
gently toward a calm and bright land,
so that they look no more backward,
and the hand may be little child's.-

1t Is no exaggeration to describe as
President Roosevelt has done, the for
est problem as the most vital internal
problem in the United States. If we
pay too much in freight rates we can
still get on. A few years more or less
in adjusting laws and institutions to
human needs do not matter much in
history. But any change of physiog-
raphy which changes the country's
productive power is a matter of the
first moment. A great deal has been
said in the last few years on the impor-
tance of scientific forestry, but there is
need of much more educational work
and organized effort for preservation
and new planting. If in a few years
this country is not to be seriously and
irretrievably, ruined by the destruc-
tion of its forests.
The American Forestry Congress
which has been in session in Washing
ton, has a great work before it. An en-
couraging feature of the situation is
the fact that men prominent in the lum
Der business, which, hitherto has been
almost solely an agent of destruction
IN mining and other practical money
making affairs, are taking an active
part IN congress. Forestry is not the
fad of academic scientists, but the pro.
gram of hard headed men anxious to
make dollars, yet far sighted in their
desire to MOTTO destroy their principal
through avarice for excessive interest.
As Secretary Wilson told them in his
address Of welcome, without forestry
the permanent prosperity of the in
.dnstries which they represent is i'm
possible.
The timber area is rapidly diminish
ing. Unless the forests are replenished
twill not be long before the lumber
industry, which now ranks fourth in
the country will be reduced to small
proportions. That would mean an
enormous direct loss, but an incalcula-
bly, greater indirect loss. 1t would in
volve the loss of wood as a common
building material and greatly in.
creased expense in every walk of life.
The cheap cottage home, which is one
OF our great blessings would cease to
be. Then the denudation of forests
means the disturbance of water courses
violent floods and droughts. Cities
are dependent on the forests for their
water supply, farmers for their rains
and fertile fields, manufacturers for
their water power. Let the reckless
destruction go on and we shall come
to share the poverty Of Spain and Pal
estine and other countries where i'm
providence has turned naturally fertile
lands to barrenness.
1t is high time for the vigorous prose.
cution by the States and the nation of
an intelligent forestry policy. There
should be cooperation of government
agencies and an awakening of private
landowners. Our important river
sources should be protected from all
danger and reserves enlarged where.
ever necessary. Then, on land where
tmay be proper to continue cutting
some way should be devised to secure
wholesale replanting. In fact, plant
ing should be more extensive than cat
ting, for the destruction has gone far,
and district once denuded aud its
conditions changed does not re-foreet

from seeing through the intcrstIccs of

among the freshly picked cotton stored
within.
The teeth of the saw tore the lint
from the seed easily and quickly, and
young Whitney Che was barely thirteen

machine working number of similar
saws simultaneously would revolution
lie the cotton growing industry.

to work building models and expert

nous, for he not only Ind to make his
own wheels, cogs, etc. but he had also
first to forge his own tools and even to
manufacture the paint whcrcwith to
color his many plans and drawings.
But he succeeded In the end, and,
though the outbreak of war and other
hindrances prevented the invention
from being actually placed upon The
market until many years afterward,
the first complete cotton gin ever con-
structed was built from those very
models and plans and with scarcely n

A recent traveller in CHM impressed
with the wide usefulness OF bamboo
thus states some of the possibilities:
A man can sit in n bamboo house,
under bamboo roof, on a bamboo
chair, at bu1nboo table, with his feet
resting Oh bamboo footstool, with q
bamboo hat on his head and bumboo
8andals on his feet. He can at thu
aalne time hold In one hand bamboo
bowl, in the other bamboo chopsticks
and eat bamboo sprouts.
When through with his meal, which
hns been cooked over q bamboo fire,
the table may be washed with BAN
boo cloth, and he can fan himself with
II bamboo fan and take n siesta OH n
bnmboo bed. lying on n bamboo mat,
with his head resting on bamboo pill
low. His child might be lying in a
bamboo cradle, playing with o bam-
boo toy. $50"
On rising, he could smoke q bamboo
pipe and. taking n balnboo pen, write
letter OH bamboo paper or carry Ills
articles III bamboo baskets suspended
from bamboO pole, with bamboo
umbrella over his head. He might
then tnke walk over bamboo sls-
pension bridge, drink water out OF q
bamboo latlle and scrape himself with
bamboo sweat scraper Qiandker-
chief. The bamboo ingenuity and per-
sistcncy have produced (bamboo) joint
results Which exhibit the potcntiallties
