WestOn's First Auto.

Leader: Geo. W. Stages, one of
Weston's representative farmers, took
the "bug fever" the other day, and
gratified it by importing two-seated
auto from Walla Walla. Mr.. Stages
is of mechanical turn Of mind, aud
has no difficulty in officiating as his
own chaffeur while taking family or
friends out for a little spin. More
over. he doesn't try to carry out the
popular notions of the devil wagon"
by killing somebody every other day
and crippling others meanwhile. He
hasn't even run over dog, cat or
chicken, aud turns the corners with
admirable precision. While the fact
that citizen bought an auto wouldn't
be worth three-line paragraph to
city paper, it's worth this "stick" and
more to the Weston Leader--for this
is the first ever brought to Weston,
and its introduction is a sort of COM
munity event.

to farm lands by the incoming of the

the enlargement of the present building,
another great step was marked when
the Northern Pacific cars came in over
the traction company's lines on Wed

In addition to this executive there is mavor pro

$1,000 more in perquisites Then to conduct this
town is body Of aldermen, each of whom re-
ceives from SI.soo up to $1,000 annually. The
salaries paid by the Louisiana borough are
enough TO arouse the envy OF the Delawarean

AssA1L1NG ROOSEVELT.

II HAT many New York inanciers have no
i love for President Roosevelt is evidenced
not alone in the attitude of the New York news
papers that represent the interests Of Wall street,
but also in the remarks of speakers who upon
varied occasions discuss the conduct OF the Pres-
dent. For instance, at a meeting in New Haven
the other night, where the subject OF the Prcsi-
dents relations to the corporate interests of the
country was debated Mr.. Ailng, former presi-
dent fthe State Bar Association, assaed the
President with intense fury. lie declared that
the "so-called statesman" that is the President,
is responsible for the railroad agitation which, he
said, had resulted in the depreciation of railway
securities. Not content with causing this havoc,
the President seeks to force Congress still further
TO regulate and restrain railroad capital Mr.. Ali
ing rallied to considerable length in blaming the
President for the trouble. Apparently he consid-
ers that the companies themselves are in no wise
responsible.
Mr. Ailing, and those who talk as he docs, evi-
IDENTIFY believe that President Roosevelt possesses
the attributes, the influence and the power Of
demi-god that he can pull and twist legislators
and sensible people around as though they we're
tied by leading strings. No man, be he ever SO
powerful, ever so brilliant could bunco the
American people by leading them into war
against corporations or even by attacking corpo-
rations and aggregatons of capital unless there
was some basis for these attacks.
That there has been good reason for the criti-
cisms Of the President has been admitted by many
Of the railway chiefs themselves, the President of
the Rock Island system being one Of the most
recent speakers who held that the companies
themselves were much at fault for the condition
Of aairsf. Abuses, such as determinations and
rebates often forced upon the railroad companies
yother large corporations, have existed for
years, but the corporations had such grip upon
the country that it was useless to try to correct
these abuses. Even here in Delaware, when we
see that the produce growers OF Virginia can get
their products to the New England OF New York
markets cheaper than the Delaware growers can
do it is natural to suppose that there would be
feeling and effort TO secure fair and square rate
The producers throughout the country, espe-
cially the smaller ones, have had many COM
plants, and Roosevelt's action was con-
centration Of strong public Sentiment To as
sumo that Roosevelt acted simply on a whim or
a notion is folly
