Give the People tAe RIght to Dselde.

This, and this only, is what we ask for ana
expect from that representative body OF men
whom the people of Delaware have intrusted
such right giving power, and not to the deeis-
ion OF a single editor OF a local paper,who has
been one Of about thirty men for many years
to give the right to four liquor places in the
town Of Milford; thus welding their influence
against the will Of two thousand vOters.and a
reputation OF ten thousand women and chill
dren in the two united districts.
My wish is, that these few men could have
the rays turned on and have revealed TO them
all the ffering, Fiction, heart en,plead-
ing wives, mothers and sisters. crying and
frightened children the rum traffic brings.
with that revelation before your eyes,l can
not believe but that you, Mr.. Editor, with all
the rest who have so long been vested with
so great power, would cry out that this curse
be not upon us. but upon the whole people.
We have the right to question Senator Cor.
nor's judgment as against all the other repre-
sentatives and the people who have studied
the LIQUOR ques ton. Mr.. Conner has the
chance TO a great extent to redeem htmselfin In
the minds OF the people. As a holding over
Senator and not being elected on the plat
folm of his party, that declared that the peo-
pie should have the right to vote upon this
great question for the interest Of the State.
1t is useless from my standpoint Of view for
any man to argue that the greatest good is
not derived through prohibition OF the liquor
traffic.
A word to the wise is sufficient; SO, Mr.. Edi-
tor, give your paper in the interest OF the
platform you voted on; and you,senator Con
nor, who hold the honorable position you do,
by blocking legislation for four weeks, use
your position as a leader, with the represen-
tatives OF your party who have openly and
privately pledged their support to the right
Of the whole people and not to the few who
have and are now ready to put up their IN
told thousands OF dollars to continue this
crime breeding curse upon helpless people.

SOME REASONS
Why Milford People Should
Follow This Valuable
Advice

Because the proof Is in Milford.
You can easily investigate 1t.
Not necessary to experiment
With some nntried remedy.
Profit by the experience Of citizen.
1T. Foreaker, of Mill street, says !:
az have seen the time when it was
really torture to me to straighten up
after bending over and STOPPING, and,
as a rule, nay back was always lame.
During the past year or more I never
knew a moment when the pain was
absolutely gone. If 1 Over-taxed my
self I suffered from feeling Of intense
lassitude and lack of energy. After sit
ting in a chair for any length OF time
nv back became lame and sore and it
was only with difficulty that l could
get up again. At night | was unable
to rest we'll and was constantly chang
ing my position and upon rising felt
as tired as when l went to bed. AS the
result of this lack of rest l was in a
miserable condition, at the time that l
got my first box of Doan's Kidney Pills
at DR.. G. w. PleasantOn's drug store.
They worked like magic and gave me
almost instant relief. The treatment
soon stopped the backache and cor
rected the whole trouble. The pain has
left me entirely and am feeling betteT
in every way"

To drou from his forehead and frOze at bis

a cap, and by this time the bear was forty 10
nifty feet away from him. He took aim at
the bears heart and pulled the trigger. The

A Large Contract.

When B. H. Matthews, the enter
prising druggist, first offered a 40 cent
nsckage of DIR. Howard's specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
at half price, and guaranteed to return
the money if it did not cure, he thought
it probable from his experience with
other medicines for these diseases, that
he would have a good many packages
returned. But although he has sold
hundreds Of bottles, not one has been
brought back.
This is so surprising that he has taken
the contract to Introduce DR.. Howard 8
speeifc in at least half the homes IN
Milford and to do that he Will continue
