Int Ono HOnent Reserve.

THE present financial crisis is only
another startling instance that ought to
warn us to convert orr present green
backs into gold certificates and teach
the present generation and all who
come after us that there can be but
one honest reserve, and that IN our
country is gold coin, because gold is
our standard of value and, therefore,
gold is its own redeemer.
1.-THE action of the administrator was
certainly surprising to any one who
was at all familiar with the banking
situation on Thursday, November 18th
.tnat considering the fact that the gov
ernment had $2i0,000,000 OF cash on
hand, and would not have any more to
speak of Immediately after bonds We're
sold, 1t was certainly extraordinary;
that 1t was unwnrranted in increasing
the national Understanding, debt $780,
100000, and that II was most unfor-
tunate from either point of View, espe-
cially economically. For the honor of
the government, more particularly and
especially for the welfare OF the coun-
try, | sincerely hope that not single
3 per. cent. certificate will he issued
and that the administration will have
the wisdom, courage and patriotism TO
withdraw the offer of the 500, 100000
:, per cent. certificates Immediately,
thereby relieving the present situation
and protecting the people against the
future consequences of u most grave
and serious mistake"

GOOD TEMPLARS HOLD MEETING
Local Option Campaign Receives Another I'm
Pe'us at Well Conducted Meeting in the
Lecture Room of Asbury N. E. Church

An interesting temperance maatiro
was held in the lecture room of Asbnrv
M Il. Church Monday evening under
the auspices of the order of Good
Iemplars of Smyrna. TIE meatino
was presided over by Rev. Walter Ford
chief templar. Music was furnished
by phOnograph. Addresses were
made by Mr.. William Chandler Of
Cleveland, Ohio, son of Rev. Albert
Chandler, of this town, Presiding FL
der w. q. KOons, and Rev. DIR. Robert
watt. Mr.. Chandler has charge of the
boys department of they. NJ. C. A.. of
Cleveland, and his line of talk was in
the direction of saving the boys from
the curse and evil of the liquor traffic.
Hls remarks were well punctuated and
made a favorable impression. Presid.
ing Elder W. G. Koons took up the
practical side of the no-license move
ment and gave authorities from the
eastern shore of Maryland in counties
where Local Option has been in opera.
ton upward of twenty years. He
made al eloquent and argumentive
plea for no-license. DIR. Watt spoke
on the "Order of Good Templars" and
gave the movement his unqualified en-
dorsement and praised them for the
good work they were doing. He
touched upon the Local Option Cam
paign in his usual vigor and had some
thing to say about those who were "on
the fence" the Responsibility" of
saloons, and that other scare crow
Gloss of business to town" Some
spice was given to the address by de-
bate on ''public sentiment" and its ef
feet upon the recent Legislature in
giving the people of Delaware a right
to vote on the liquor question. Some
gave the Legislature credit for volun~
tary action and others said they were
whipped into line" by public senti-
ment. After all it was a matter of di-
rect or indirect influence, and the au-
dience was left so to Judge. At any
event it was shown that "public senti-
ment"' was stronger to-day than ever
before and that indications pointed to a
tremendous victory in all districts this
Fall. Public sentiment, like the tide
is rising for a big overflow on election
day. The meeting was harmonious
throughout and highly enjoyed.

FINE BASS FISHING AT LAKE COMO.
". A. Collins, the Printer, Who Started the
Craze Gets From Fish Commissioner Luff
the Law About Open and Closed Season


Fishing for bass goes on apace at
Lake Como and some fine catches have
been the result, bass that weigh any
where from two to FIVE pounds. Since
W. A. Collins, the printer of Camden,
n. j., employed at the Times office
started the craze several weeks ago,
the pond on both sides has been lined
with amateur fishermen. As stated in
a previous issue, Mr.. Collins uses the
spoon" bait and finds it very effective.
The question as to which is the ''open
season" and which is the ''closed sea
son" for bass fishing has been an.
swered by G. J. Luf, of Wyoming,
the State Fish Commissioner. Strange
to say that the open season in this state
is directly opposite from that of the
state of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
That our Delaware law should allow
bass to be caught during the spawning
season seems to be very defective, yet
this seems to be the view interpreted
by Fish Commissioner Luff whose
reply to the query of Mr.. W. A. Col
Inns, dated June 6, was as follows:
My dear Sir:-Replying to yours of
S1st ult. would say that "game fish"
are protected by law against the use
of nets or other device except with
hooks and lines in all fresh water
streams and lakes of the State. The
closed season for bass is from the 1st of
June until the 1st of March in each and
every year. The fish to be not less
than seven inches IN length under pen
atty of So. 90 for each and every fish so
caught, one-half to informer aud the
other half to the Treasurer of County.
And as | interpret the law, one is liabl {
to fine by having bass in their posses
sion during the closed season. There
is not any special law in reference tc
other game fish. The above was passed
in 1908, and have not received the
changes made during the last Legi sIa
ture, which / am expecting to obtain a
copy in the near future"

FARMERS REJOICE OVER OOOO WEATHER.

Summer Temperature Has Made Its Appear
snce At last Aad sllFarmers are at Work.
The good summer weather which set
in on Saturday and Sunday was
matter of much rejoicing among the
farmers who had become very much
discouraged over the backward season
and the continuous cold and wet spell.
No time was lost in getting down to
work and every industrious farmer
is doing his utmost to make up for
lost time. Although much behind the
seasonal time, corn is being planted
by those who did not get it in and
should good weather conditions
prevail, they will yet reap harvest.
Under the warm sunshine all vegeta-
ton has taken a squirt with indications
Of being in market in due time. 1t is
generally thought that fruit will be
scarce although a number of our
growers expect to strike it we'll on
peaches. Strawberries are turning
out better the last few days.
