BALLOT REFORM.

hELAWARE is not the only State in which
- are heard complaints Of the cumbersome
ballot That many citizens and intelligent ctl-
zens at that of this State lose their votes because
of errors in marking their ballots, is admitted by
those familiar with politics The same loss is OBJ
served in Pennsylvania On last election day
in Pennsylvania, almost 100000 ballots. accord
ing TO a Harrisburg Dispatch were spoiled, and
citizens were thus disfranchscd through the
operation of an intricate voting law.
There have also been complaints in New York
that the cumbersome voting system results IN
loss of many ballots. In that State it is said that
the political leaders favor a complicated system
because they think it dscourages independent
voting but we doubt whether a complicated bal
lot lessons the tendency to independent voting
Very often it makes man who is displeased with
some candidates on the ticket of his own party
vote the other ticket entire, whereas he would
scratch only a name or two If he could do
so without fear of spelling his ballot The ntri-
cate voting system is also carried TO the extreme
in some States as in Maryland, where the ballot
is a trick ballot
llcre in Delaware there is considerable dissat-
isfaction over our method of voting We have
be called politician who staunchy supports the
present method of voting. They all seem to be
willing for a change, for a simpler method of
voting. The Democrats have complained of the
voters assistant phase OF the law, and the aver
age citizen, not a politician, would, OF course,
favor change
Therefore the subject should be considered and
the ballot law modified so that we shall have a
voting system under which the percentage of de-
fective ballots will be reduced 10 very small hg-

Dear Sir:-Thc candidates for the ap-
pointment of postmaster for the Laurel

are men who bolted the ticket at the last
election and some Of them are men who
are being backed by a corporation that
Is trying IN every way 10 control every
interest Of the town. They have no in
terest in politics only when IL means
dollars 10 them. Now as an onlooker
in this fight I think It would bo a mis-
take to recognize either party above
mentioned knowing that the admins
tration is opposed TO corporations. be-
cause Of the corrupt methods TO which
they resort TO- I don't think the ap-
polntment OF either the boltor or corpora
ton candidate would I'm any way suit
public opinion. They arc attempting TO
mislead the appointing powers in this
matter and when found out would be too
late TO rectify. Now as an unlnterested
party I can afford to say that the men
who have tho recommending of ID. o..
Moore's successor should. If they have
any interest in the Republican party. be
careful who they have appointed. II
men who work for the success OF the
party are ignorant. they viii see what

condition.
Strangers, especially, when they visit farm in
New Castle county in any other county, in
these days, consider the roads problem. There
FORE there is practical basis and not a sent-
mental basis for this good roads movement
The Levy Court of Sussex, according to re-
ports, is heartily in favor of good roads, but the
members want to find out whether their views
supported by their constituents. Some i'm
provement has been made in the Sussex high
ways and it is stated that the gravel road in
Georgetown hundred has greatly pleased the
residents of that district There are some good
shell roads in the western part OF the county
There ought to.be many good roads in all parts
OF the county.
But even when it is decided to make road inn
provements there will be many perpexing prob
lens to be faced. The kinds Of roads that should
be built will have TO be considered. Probably the
conclusion will be reached that hard earth or
gravel road is the kind most suitable for regions
such as Sussex county.

Would it not be good idea If Sussex folk
