Good Roads.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Now that Levy Court has taken a
stand in favor OF bonding the county
for good road purposes. il appears 70
me that the people in general should
heartily coincide with any movement
by that body along this line. Day
after day we hear reports on all sides
OF the horrible" condition of the
county roads. Farmers complain that
Il takes two and sometimes three hours
to draw load which could ordinarily
could he hauled In one hour. There
complaints are heard from not only
one section OF the county. but from
every section. The only remedy seems
TO be that OF a bond issue. and after al
this does not appear in the light OF a
hardship upon tax payers How many
sections OF the country are there that
carry bond issues and do not appear "a
labor under the burden. Let us have
the issue by all means. when Il comse
let the money be placed in the hands
of those. who viii expend It properly
and not attempt TO get a graft"
Very truly.

Appropriation Not sufficient.

Editor The Evening Journal
For my part cannot conceive what
the members OF the General Assembly
could be thinking about when they
made the small appropriation OF ten
thousand dollars to defray the ex-
penses Of a State exhibit at the coming
jamestown Exposition. They must
know that the State is to have build
Ing II there is any exhibit from Della.
ware and they also must realize that
it will cost money TO get the various
articles to the grounds, to care for
them and to defray the other expenses
that will naturally arise during tho
duration OF the big fair. Anyone can
realize that ten thousand dollars viii
hardly be a drop in the bucket for the
purposes desired. Surely the members
Of the Legislature must have enough
pride in their State to see It well rep
resented among the others OF the union,
and why more money was not advanced
for the purpose is very mystifying to
me- Perhaps some Of your intelligent
and better informed readers can adj
vance a solution OF what appears to
be a very great puzzle.
Respectfully yours.

Rubber Tires on Fire Apparatus.
Editor The Evening Journal.
AL the fire engines in Wilmington
should have rubber tires on the wheels.
Rubber tires enable a wagon to turn
corners without .jolting or swinging.
and In this way safety Of the firemen
is assured. Otherwise they are liable
TO he dumped into the street any time,
unless the driver IS exceedingly clever.
Rubber tires have been placed on a
number of hose carriages in this city.
But work should not stop there. They
should be placed on every bit of fire
apparatus we have. They not only
cause the engine to run more smoothly,
but they enable the horses TO run
faster and make quicker time in going
to a fire. They have many advantages
and I trust that every engine. hose
wagon and truck in Wilmington will
have them before many months has
passed. other cities have them and
we should keep abreast Of the times
and have them also.
Respectfully,
A Fireman.

dead this noon In room 80 Cleve-

was a bottle OF carbolic acid, partly
empty.

were called. There was no EVIL

coroner said that he had probably
diluted it with water so that It
would pass into the stomach and
not burn the lips. The man had
been at the lodging house several

WILL TEST MACHO'S PULL

Reputable employment Office
proprietors of the city hope to have
chance tonight to find out just
how much influence Macho, the dis
credited employment agent, has
with the city council and the ad-
ministration generally. For months
they have been trying to get some
attention paid to Macho, but so far
have accomplished nothing. They
have cited numerous cases of men
being sent to fake jobs and the po-
lice department has been bothered
constantly by complaints from. la
bofers buncOed out of the fees for
jobs Macho pretended to get them.
The entire employment business Of
the city has suffered in conse-
QuSnce.
The fight was carried on rather
hopelessly under the old admins
tration. the employment men con-
ceding that Macho had pull there
they could not dislodge. Under the
new administration they expected
some attention to legitimate COM
plants they might have, but to
date Macho has been too strong for
them. Mayor Moore has addressed
the council urging that the Macho
license be revoked. and stating that
he is satisfied Macho had forfeited
any further rights to carry on his
business. Chief Of Police Rice, Ii
cense Inspector Gwdir and other Of
fiHals have Joined in this protest.
which the council! has apparently
la1d snugly away in pigeonhole.
Tonight Police Judge Hinkle will
submit communication in support
ofsthe charges against Macho.
The employment men have ap-
pehled in Vain to the city attorneys
omce. Now they are watching the
council and delegation of them
wal probably be on hand tonight
to see II Macho makes good his
boast that he will continue to run
his business without regard to re-
stfictions other men In the same
business are obeyIng and wish to
have enforced.

BOISE. July 9.-The early por-

reading San Francisco dispositions.
Darrow had q talk with Meyer in
the cell this morning. The fedora
ton president says ne is in fine con-

ward to the ordeal on the witness
stand. He will absolutely deny
Orchards testimony insofar as 1t re-
lates to his counselling or even by
implication or suggestion favoring
violence, or that he sent Orchard
to Idaho to XIII Steunenberg.

secured from Gooding and McPar-
