JUDGE PENNEwILL's ADDRESS.

4 UDGE PENNEWILL is always interesting in
} his addresses, and the only thing the people
regret is that he is not heard oftener His re-
marks at the Delaware Day celebration at lanes
town were full Of sound sense good logic, OF an
optimistic nature and excellent advice There
are many Delawareans, recalling an event that is
passed, who will always regret that the Judge
could not feel it his duty to respond TO the call
OF the people that he should represent the State
at Washington We feel sure that he would have
upheld the honor OF Delaware at the national
capital
Judge Pennewill in one part of his address,
speaks Of the responsibility OF the profession that
he adorns. And he does not overdraw the impor.
tance of the bench and bar in these times Judge
Pennewill speaks of the criticisms of the bench
and bar because Of the laws delay. Many of the
criticisms, he admits are reasonable. And as he
truly says it is with the bench and the bar to cor
rect those evils When the law is not enforced
the judge believes it is due to lack of public
sentiment behind the law In manv instances
this is true, but the enactment of a law pre-
sumes that there is public sentiment behind il.
and therefore It seems to us that prosecutors
should proceed on that theory in their enforce
ment OF measures on the statute books
The conditions in New York furnish an exam
pie. Mr. Jerome was elected to the high office OF
district attorney in the belief that he would carry
Out certain reforms in the administration Of the
law lie had plenty Of public sentiment behind
HIM for the enforcing of certain laws But that
public sentiment which so strongly backed
Jerome when he was chosen, has turned against
MN IN New York simply because Of his supposed
failure to enforce the law.
Judge Pennewill made plea for Delawareans
TO love their home State, and he drew an attract
i've picture OF Delaware, true to life.
lhe State at jamestown could not have been
more worthily represented than it was on this
occasion by the Kent county jurist. The next
best thing for those who did not hear this ma
triotic Delaware address is to read if.

If you are walking along the street
and wake up to the fact that you are
carrying yourself poorly. take the men

we'll as the physical one. Look at the
men you meet and imag gine that each
Of them owes you dollar. Put even
a suggestion OF arrogance into your
position Hold your head well back !;
look people squareIy in the face. This
will not only give the impression 10
others that YOU possess the power you
want. but il will actually tend to bring
that power. Keep the neck against the
