Is there anything that could be
done for the State of Delaware that
would be of more benefit to her in
dustries, and add more to her
worth, than the practical, systema-
tic drainage of the swamps and low
lands which now occupy many
thousand acres of land in both
Kent and Sussex counties An
idea was expressed to the writer this
week by DR.. Caleb R. Layton, as
to how this desired development
and retaining of the great cypress
and Glendale swamps could be
brought about on a basis Of fairness
and equity to all, and the thought
bears the stamp OF practicability as
we'll as fairness, in that those who

THE condition of the finances Of
Sussex county at present is a mute
testimony of the lack of business
management on the part Of the Levy
Court Commissioners of the county.
With an ample tax levied, with
collections coming in about in the
usual proportions, the county finds
its treasury embarrassed to meet
the allowances the Levy Court has
made; a condition which shows
plainly a lack Of business sagacity
on the part of the men composing
that body. Early in the year the
court was warned that certain bonds
would be due at or about July first,
but no effort was made to provide
for these obligations but, on the
contrary, the entire matter was left
TO drift-just as man not accus-
toned to meet commercial paper
permits a bankable note to be pro-
tested before making any attempt
10 provide for its payment. This
practically is the situation of Sus-
sex county today, and county
orders for a time are being held up.
The most unpleasant part of the
situation is, the expose of the lack
of business sense on the part OF the
Levy Court of Sussex has been
made to the balance of the state.
and to the world at large by reason
of the fact, that the checks sent to
the Workhouse for the board and
maintenance Of prisoners, have
been returned by the banks to the
holders, marked no funds. This
is indeed modification to a county
with resources of Sussex, and brand
the members of the Levy Court as
men without fnanciering ability.
Pity tbs, It's true. In one district
of Sussex, a member of the Court
has exceeded his road allowances
by fourteen hundred dollars. How
many others are in the same cata-
CORY? Such men are using the
public money for their own inter
ests, and make no effort to have
the value received for money ex-
pended, or to take care other fnan-
cial obligations. We are, sorry to
exhibit this Notifying situation in
the affairs of the finances of Sussex
county, but the facts are before US,
and we shall present them to the
people for their information, and
they must see that men Of compel
ent business ability are sent to the
levy court to handle the finances
in the future.

Roosevelt on Railroad Control.

President Roosevelt's last message
to Congress in which he urges that
BODY to enact laws regulating rail
roads
The decisions of the Supreme
Court in the Minnesota and North |
Carolina cases illustrate how impos-
sible IS dual control Of National
commerce. The States cannot con
troll it. All they can do is 70 control
intrastate commerce. and this now
forms but a small fraction of the
commerce carried by the railroads
through each State. Actual cxper-
ience has shown that the effort at
State control is sure 10 be nullified
in one way or another. sooner or la
ter. The Nation alone can act with
effectiveness and wisdom. il should
+ have control both of the business
and OF the agent by which the busi-
ness IS done. for any attempt 70 sep
arate this control must result n gro
tesQue absurdity. This means that
we must RELY upon National legisla-
ton to prevent the commercial
abuses that now exist and the others
f that are sure TO arise unless some
f efficient Governmental body has
( adequate power Of control over
them. At present the failure of the
f Congress 70 tlize and exercise the
/ great powers conferred upon It as
