Smyrna times., 1908-04-15

Now that the Directors of the
Smyrna Public Schools have taken
the initiative, it is to be hoped that
the Town Council of Smyrna will,
without delay, order two fire escapes
placed on either side of the Opera
House. There has been much talk
about this, but nothing doing. The
School Board sets the town a good
example, and it is to be hoped that
the safeguards long talked about will
be forthcoming at an early date. The
changing of the front doors to swing
out is wise move. 1t should have
been done years ago. Now if Council
will widen the doorway at the stair
landing to the auditorium and widen
the aisles, this improvement with the
fire escape, will be precautiOn worth
while and will make the Opera House
safe and reliable as any playhouse in
Delaware.

The placing of fire escapes on the
Smyrna Public School building is a
wise act on the part of the Board of
Diectors for which they will receive
the appreciation of all parents and
guardians in Smyrna. Ever since
the building has been built there has
been need of taking just such a
Precaution. Fortunately there has
been no outbreak of fire to alarm the
schools, but the fact that there mas
not, does not relieve the Directors
of their responsibility in the matter.
The placing of every safeguard
around the handsome school building
Is commendable act.

The Republican Convention at
Dover, says the Milford Chronicle,
has made it clear to all that there is an
entirely new alignment of the party,
and that the old leaders have been
side-tracked and new ones have been
installed. For sixteen years the
Republicans of the two lower counties
have looked to DR.. c. R. Layton,
j. Frank Alice and DR.. George W.
Marshall to do the organizing,
planning anG practical fighting Of
their campaigns, but that day is
now passed as the result of last Tues
day clearly demonstrates. The people
have so expressed themselves through
the primaries and the Judgement
stands. All good Republicans will
acknowledge the rights of the maiori-
ty to rule, even though their individ-
ual opinions may be contrary to the
plans to be carried out, and, while it
is to be expected, there will be but
little difference in results of the pri-
maries next to be held, there is much
necessary work to be accomplished to
properly organize the districts, so
that the least possible friction will
follow. 5 The votes of all Republi-
cans will be needed in November,
and it is not, or should not be, the
intention of those in control to ostra-
else any Republican.

Ex-Champion's Opinion.

St Paul, Dec. 26.-John l.. Sulli-
van said today that Jack Johnson
has no right to claim the champion
ship as the result OF his victory over
Tommy Burns at sydney, as he con-
siders the present day bouts mere
boxing matches.
The fight resulted much as ex-
pected. never could see how a
good little man had show with a
good big man, as was this case" said
John l..
Even with the victory over the
so-called champion OF the world,
though in my opinion Burns never
was the champion OF the world. the
negro can't assume that title.
These present day bouts can't be
truly styled prize fights. They are
merely boxing matches where pad
ded mitts are used. I can't see
where Johnson is given n high posi-.
ton In the opinion OF the general
American public. | don't think the
country will make a great howl over
the colored man when he returns.
