GOOD ROADS IN NEW JERSEY.

q ONERNOR FORT, of New Jersey. is in
~ tensely interested in the good roads move
ment, and a paper by him was read at a recent
convention held at Atlantic City to promote the
good roads movement
The governor recalled that seventeen years ago
the county OF Middlesex was the only county of
the State that took advantage of State aid in
building its roads AT present nearly every part
OF New Jersey avails itself OF the State help
Thirteen hundred and fifty miles OF good roads
in New Jersey have been built with State aid. and
432 miles have been constructed without State
help.
The problem that now oonfronts New Jersey is
how to maintain these roads Their maintenance
IS Just as important as their building, as the care
OF roads in this State amply demonstrates.
The governor suggested that something little
more yielding than macadam should be used in
road building. In this he is right macadam
road is hard on horses, and If such roads are not
constantly kept in repair they become far more
unpleasant to ride over than a well constructed
dirt road.
Delaware IS entering upon progressive road
building era. We have made considerable ad-
vance in this county. In some instance. however.
the money has been wasted. as in the proposed
construction Of a macadam thoroughfare in re-
mote part of Blackbird hundred The next effort
OF the builders should be right down the State
road-the highway that is most used.

Haywood is abusing the old parties and espe-
cially Gompers. Considering the fact that
Gompers raised a large sum of money to aid in
the defence of Haywood when the mine leader
was on trial for his life the Federation chief
must think that Haywoods ingratitude is of the
basest sort But the Socialists in the Federation
have been fighting Gompers for years in their
efforts to turn the Federation into a Socialist

In the far West it is said that the farmers are
not so much concerned in politics as their minds
are running to automobiles and bank accounts.
indicating that they are prosperous The farmer
who remembers the price of products during the
Cleveland administration is not likely to vote
against the party under whose administration Of
the government he obtained such prosperity The
farmers are busy with their crops and preparing
for more prosperity. Their labor is employed
The farmers are not sitting down like some

DR.. CRAFTS, REFORMER,
MAKES ADDRESSES

The Rev DR.. w IT, Crafts, Of Wash.
ington, d. c., superintendent of tho
International Reform Bureau, spoke Ia
Grace NJ. Il. Church yesterday after
noon. His subject was "That Boy and
Girl OF Yours" In the evening DIT.
Crafts spoke at Asbury NJ. e. Church
on "The Holy City Coming Down" In
his afternoon sermon, speaking Of the
home as a factor in the life of the
growing citizen. Dr. Crafts said;
"The home as a school Of law is pc
cuiarly adapted to perform the task
Of correcting the common misconcep.
ton Of law as an unfriendly restraint
upon our rightful liberty The young
man would not so regard law to his
own great injury If in boyhood he had
been impressively taught that all true
laws are but beautiful crystalizations
Of love- Where can this be taught so
well as in the home whose laws can
easily be shown to be prompted by
parental love? From that truth IL is
an easy step TO teach the child that
the laws which the policeman repro
sents 10 him are also expressions OF
love made to prevent sorrow ard
trouble and make the people happy and
prosperous.
Nothing less than such home teach
ing win fully correct the habitual law
lesness Of Americans in our time.
There IS scarcely anyone who Is not
breaking some law 50 often that he
has ceased TO think his act as law
breaking Preachers openly announce
to their people that they are goinr
away on Sunday trains which run in
violation of both divine and human
law. When the Iriauoia Theatre was
burned in Chicago It was found that
many churches had beer built in vio-
lations of the building law"

Opinion
Negroes As Laborers.


Milford Chronicle.
IL win be a sorry day for the negro Of
Delaware when the italian. or other labor.
comes to supplant them in the industries
Of this peninsula. and It is coming soon,
If not all ready at hand. This year the
berry growers have brought help from
This class. and they have remained to help
with other work on the farm Wherever
this occurred, employers are enthusiastic
In praise Of the new help and are en-
couraglng its settlement with them. The
canneries have more than doubled this
kind Of help this year, and that in the
face OF the fact that the tomato and other
crops usually packed into cans. is a short
one. and the results are more than satis-
factory to the employers Of labor. The
negro will be pushed to the wall as a
laborer IN a brief time In Delaware; and
he has only himself 10 blame for the
trouble. The help given in all branches Of
labor by tho negroes has been less and
less satisfactory to employers for ten
years past, and in self protection it has
been necessary to import help. II the pres
ent conditions are part of the evolution Of
the negro from one sphere 10 another
then we hope it is to a better. Twenty
five years ago the labor of this country
was largely done by the IRISH but now
adays the Irish is an employer of labor
Instead of the employed. VIII this be so
with the negro7 We hope so The white
race has helped tile colored race literally
in the past, but when they are suppanted
as wage earners. the incentive for fur
ther aid is removed. It is time for the
oolored race to help itself, and II they are

TAFT AND BRYAN.

IT he national campaign is in the fireworks
= stage General apathy has been dispelled
for the time being at least and the leaders are
firing shots, hot and cold ,at each other in their
endeavor 10 arouse the supposed sleeping inter
est of the average man. 1t has been assumed that
the average man is not yet fully stirred to the
importance OF the issues involved in the CAM
paign, but II judge by the large registration
in Delaware, should remark that the average
voter is very much alive to the situation There
is apathy in this State so far as the voters
desire to cast his ballot is concerned
The campaign for the next few weeks from
the point of view of the national leaders, will be
inspiring. Candidate Taft is on,the stump and
SO is Candidate Bryan. and a sort of running de-
bate will be kept up between them.
AS political speaker Mr. Bryan is better
known than is Mr. Taft. The people however,
have general estimate of the Democratic cand-
date. Taft is becoming more and more prom-
nent as a speakeraand nothing but favorable im-
pressons created by his utterances But
when we take out Mr. Bryan as the orator we
have removed most OF him, while the other
hand behind Mr.. Taft is a record of years OF par
ticipation in the administrative affairs of the
country. He has been tried and not found want
ing In his campaign political orator he is
new, but he is doing we'll
The voters of these United States will form
their estimates of the candidates as the smoke of
the battle clears away before election day, rolls
around. BY that time they will have concluded
which is the more desirable candidate to entrust
with the actual administration of the affairs of
the nation. The sway of the excitement will give
way for a moment at least to solid consideration
before the ballots cast, and the actual decision
of the majority of voters will be, we think that
Mr.. Taft is the more qualified for the high office.
The Democrats are agitated over the fact that
in Delaware their party has moved backward in
stead OF forward Having adopted a locomotive
ticket the natural battle cry of the Democratic
conservatives who have seized control of the POI
litical organization of the State should be "All
aboard or "Show your tickets please" or "The
next station is Farnhurst' Indeed. the Demo-
cratic ticket was made up by the leaders and
their followers who for some years have either
been dormant or have summoned up enough en-
ergy to slash the Democratic ticket in various
districts. The whistle aroused them to action
but it is the voice of the siren that is Turing their
