Specializing About judges.

There is some speculation as TO whether
Governor Pennewil will sppOint the new
judiciary for the State, for their twelve
year term during or after the winter ses'
sion OF the Legislature, that they may be
confirmed by the Senate.
The appointees, whoever they may De,
will have to run the gauntlet OF scrutiny
and confirmation by the State Senate. AS
there are one or two anti-organization
Republicans in the Senate and Senator
Moore is paralyzed and pay not be able
to attend, the confirmation Of the new
Governors judges may be like the course
of true love and fail to "run smooth"
Around the State House. it is argued
by post-election visitors and politicians,
that the Governor-elect will appoint his
judiciary before the first OF March, and
whoever are appointed, among the
younger men Of the Delaware bar, will
need to settle up all their private practice
before June Let, when they become
judges
1t will also, it is claimed be necessary
for them to know just what the State
Senate proposes to do with them before
they give up, entirely, a private practice
and 90 on the bench from June, 1909, to
January, 1911 when the next State Sen

THE DemOcr at party has an op
portunity to give the people a sam
pie Of their idea as to a reform ad-
ministration of county affairs. If
they attempt to place in operation
the old system of Democratic graft,
which was overturned when the
Republicans came into power, then
their trust will be short lived. We
hope they will place honest collec-
tors Of taxes and competent super
visors Of roads in office, and espec.
tally constables who will discharge
the duty of their Office promptly
and without fear or favor. The
Republican party paid off the large
debt for the Trustees of the Poor,
and placed the almshouse and the
county farm on a business basis.
Will the Democratic party keep it
sol We shall watch the future
and see what results follow. The
Republicans have improved the
roads and built many permanent
bridges of iron and concrete, which
will not again need repairs for
years to come but they did not en-
ter into permanent road building
with the hearty purpose of accom-
plishing much this we hope the
will change-for if the
two lower counties do not soon
to build good roads,
New Castle County will have com
,leted her roads before we get
tarted, and then possibly the State
i'd might be withdrawn. Get ac-
i've in bhilding good roads. 8

Want to be Detectives.

Numerous candidates for the position
Of State detective have announced them
selves and there are no more men in the
field for this Office than there have been
for some time The term of James l..
Hawkins, one Of the State detectives, will
expire on March Goth OF next year. His
successor will be appointed by Simeon s.
Pennewill, the governor-elect, who will
be the States chief executive at that
time. The appointment will have to be
confirmed by the State Senate.
Among those who are mentioned as
the prominent candidates for the posi-
ton are Sheriff Henry Stafford, John
Moore, formerly a patrolman on the
Wilmington force Haleck S. Ray,
nightwatchman at the post Office Isaac
Bowers, Nevin g. Clowney, Spencer
Faulk and James L. Hawkins for reap
pointment all of New Castle County. It
is the impression among many politicians
that seeriff Stafford may be tine success
ful candidates and that he will be given
the appointment of Governor Pennewill
His term as sheriff will end Oh the last Of
the present year.
Harry 1. Gillis, the other State detec-
tive, will have two years to serve from
next April. He was appointed to fill out
a term Of his predecessor but this sp-
pointment will have to be confirmed by
the State Senate as the appointment was
made after the last Senate had adjourned.

EVERY public school shOuld pro-
vide monthly report cards and com
pei the teacher, or teachers, of the
children to fill these out and see
that the parents inspect, sign and
return the cards each month. 1t is
due to teachers that their work in
the school should be brought home
70 the parents and it is due to the
parent, or the one who stands in
parental relation, that they be kept
informed as to what work the child
is doing, and how we'll it is doing
that work. The County School
Commissioners should see that this

If the daily papers are to be be-
lieved, there is q general resumtion
of business among the mills of the
country; all caused by the feeling
that the policy of the government
will not be materially changed, and
that the administration Of William
H. Taft will re-enact the prosperous
years of President ROosevelt's ad-
ministration. In our own State 1t
is stated that the Harlan Il Hol-
lingsworth shops which have been
practically at a standstill for two
years, will be rebuilt and the man
ufacture of pressed steel cars be
carried on extensively by the Unit
ed States Steel Company-its own
ers. Wilmington has felt the slump
in manufacturing as no other spot
in Delaware has, and the thousands
of men out of employ there should
gladly take the first opportunity to
get back on the pay rolls. 1t is far
more easy to get advancement
when you are employed, than to

THE post masters Of the United
States have had suggestion made
to them by the Postmaster General,
which should be carried out in our
land. The suggestion is, that the
post master in each school district
shall visit the schools wherever
practical, and there in a short talk
and demonstration explain to the
children the workings of the post
office, and at the same time, in
struct them in the proper manner
to direct an envelope orpostsl card.
Other general information can be
given at the same time, and it IS
believed that if this suggestion is
carried out, it will result in great
good, and minimize the number of
letters improperly addressed, and
for that reason, are sent to the dead
letter office. Here is a chance for
the postmasters to work off some
of their surplus energy along lines
which will result in benefit to the
coming generation.

pany's plant has been running with a

Comparatively few people, even in

tude of the local plant, or of the vol

months an ore-testing establishment
has been erected at a cost Of some

CITY SHOULD REPAIR AND
PROTECT HANGING BRIDGE

The suspension bridge across the
river near the Hot Springs hotel,
should be properly repaired and pro-
tceted by the city at once in order to
secure it against destruction by high
water. Situated as it is within a short
distance of the proposed scenic drive
way into the Royal Gorge the bridge
should be put into good condition,
otherwise it will soon fall into decay
and become an eyesore to the COM
munity.
Being the connecting link that 1t
is on the walk up the railroad track to
the entrance to the grand canon and
the return trip by way of the South
Canon gardens the swinging bridge is
used a great deal by the public. To
allow it to fall into a state of delapida-
ton would be matter OF general re-
gret. Since the death of the late DR..
J. L. Prentiss the Hot Springs Hotel
company has found itself unable to
build a new pier and make other nee
essary repairs to the property, and, it
is understood, has offered to transfer
the bridge to the city II 1t will agree
to keep it up. The city has fund for
such purposes, and, We are sure, the
public will commend the council for
preserving this picturesque and use
full bridge for the general convenience.
