Why He Waited.

why ne waited.
A mysterious stranger with lowered
brow ard menacing glare stood along
side one of the shoemaking exhibits in
a department store and watched the
shoemaker work. For a long time he
stood there, never shifting his glance,
staring steadily at the bench workman,
watching him put handful after hand
full Of tacks in his mouth and gradually
empty each nav load into shoe sole.
Finally a store detective became sus-
picious and after keeping an eye on tho
fellow for awhile went over to him and
asked him what he meant by his ac-
lions. 'Oh, nothingw answered the
man. I'm just waiting to see what
will happen if that shoemaker should
Bneeze when he has mouthful of
tacks." -Phiiadelphia Record.

1t is an encouraging bit of news to
the people of Smyrna to learn that
there is an almost certainty of the
bill passing congress at it's next ses-
sion appropriating $89, 900 for the
shortening of the route and the build
ing of two jetties at the mouth of
Smyrna River. Manager A. E. Jar
dine of the Smyrna Transportation &
Manufacturing Company has been un-
tiring in his efforts for better Smyrna
River navigation and to him more
than any one Individual does the
credit for this successful movement
belong. There is no calculating the
advantages and great value such a
project will be to Smyrna. By elm
mating the tide schedule and the
bringing nearer to our farmers and
business men of the markets of Will
mingtOn, Chester and Philadelphia by
a quick and enterprising boat line,
Smyrna will have one of the best if
not the best navigation facilities of
any town on the Delaware peninsula.

it is said, only a supervisor will be
kept on duty at Dover, and w.
Branch Wainwright, the present
traffic supervisor, will be retained.
Senator Richardson was not in Dover
to explain why the concern had gone
completely out of local control to the
big Bell corporation, but Mr.. Baker,
the general manager, defended
Senator Richardson by declaring that
no one capitalist could undertake to
carry on a telephone line covering
such big area as the peninsula of
these three States unassisted, and
with a concern like the Bell corpora
tiOn getting into the territory. One
severe storm, striking the telephone
system of large ',xpanse of country,
could wipe out the profits of a year
in a minute. All over Dover there
was general regret felt in business
circles, not only at losing the
cOmpany's headquarters from Dover,
but at the loss from business activity
of the Diamond State managers.
Mr.. Baker intimated that he might
remain in Dover. 1t is said that he
is considering engaging in the
manufacturing business.

Now that the Diamond State Tele-
phone Company has been merged un-
der the full control of the Bell Tele-
phone Company of Pennsylvania, it is
to be hoped that they will improve
the conditions down the Peninsula
and give the farmers as well as the
town people the benefit of quick and
reliable service. Smyrna subscrib-
ers should have a free service to
Smyrna Landing, Flemings Landing.
Brenford and other shipping points
and every effort should be made to
do away with the delays in getting
prompt connection through cur
exchange. In addition to this
Smyrna should have continuous service
for which it is advertised. Sunday
afternoon is as important to some as
any day of the week and the Company
should see to it that our subscribers
are given this service. Let us hope
that the Bell Company will improve
and strengthen the service materially.

Town Council is to be commended
for the excellent Board of Health it
has named. The members of this inn
portant organization are all we'll
known and prominent citizens and
that they have a serious duty to per-
form, none can gainsay. The good
health Of our community and our free
dom from epidemics of typhoid and
other diseases, will rest largely upon
the Board of Health and their vigi-
lance. There is no more important
organization in Smyrna and clothed
as they are with all the legal power
and authority necessary, it is to be
hoped that they will hold frequent
meetings and see that all nuisances
are abated. The pigpen nuisance is
one of the most annoying that our
residents have to deal with and the
new Board of Health will have these
under consideration.

Roosevelt and Fairbanks have been
good yoke fellows. The combina-
tiOOn has worked finely. After the
Presidential bee got to buzzing in
the Vice Presidents bonnet and it
became apparent that Mr.. Roosevelt
would not further the ambination of
his associate, the relations of the
two remained unimpaired. Mr.. Fair
banks has not had breach with Mr..
Roosevelt. There is the best of
reason to believe that there is much
OF mutual respect between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Fairbanks. Mr.. Fair
banks represents a strong personal
following. 1t is clear that he will
not be the nominee. 1t is as clear
that Mr.. Taft will be. There is
every disposition to take account of
the National strength of Mr.. Fair
banks and to avail of his personal
force in framing the ticket. Since
the history of Mr.. Roosevelt in that
incumbency it has been made clear
that the Vice Presidential office is
one of possibilities. Nor does it
promise rest upon the hazard of
vacancy in the first place by death.
The office is one that dignifes any
man who holds it. Mr.. Fairbanks
has never disparaged it by any official
act or utterance. The prospect of
elective succession to the highest
office from the next highest increases.
1t would not be strange to find the
Vice President coming more and more
to be looked to as good available
timber. Mr.. Fairbanks is that now.
and were it not for the overtopping
in Importance of Taft, he would
make a strong run for the White
House. The New York World:
''What is there in American history
to suggest that the Vice Presidency is
a small mans office. Twenty-six
men have been elected to it. Eight
of these a fraction less than one
third, have subsequently become pres
ident-Adams, Jefferson and VanBur-
en- by election, Tyler, Fillmore, John
son, Arthur and Roosevelt by the
death of their predecessors. Mr..
Roosevelt was reelected after serv-
ing the term of his predecessor, max
ing four of the 26 so promoted by
the public vote. Of the eighteen
vice presidents who have not after
ward become President not more than
four or five could have been called
small or obscure candidates when
named: George Clinton, Calhoun and
Breckenridge bulked big in the poll
tical history of their times; Johnson
Colfax and Wilson were widely
known popular idols; Aaron Burr and
Elbridge, Gerry are in their very diff
ferent ways not likely to be forgot

The Twentieth Century Club of Smyr-
ma came in. for considerable share of
applause at the Federation which met
at Lewes last week, for the excellent
work they had accomplished in build
ing their handsome new clubhouse.
And justly so. The club women of
Smyrna deserve all the praise and
credit that is coming to them. That
they should have secured by enter
tainments, rummage sales, private
subscriptions, &C., over 81, in
last club year alone, is a record that
any club the size of Smyrna's should
be proud of. We compliment the
women upon their enterprise and
trust that the coming year will be
forthcoming of just as goodresults as
any year in its history.

NOOON SHADES
Are Needed

You need Vudor Porch Shades to get
the most out of your porch.
To make it spot where you can
rest or work on the hottest days-out-
doors, yet free from the suns glare and
heat
You can do this with Vudor Porch
Shades; you can add to the house an
other room, cool and shady, where you
may enjoy every refreshing breeze, in
secluded comfort.
Vudor Porch Shades are very dur
able, and will last many seasons.
Another good feature about them IS
the peculiar fact that those sitting on
the porch can see out, but passersby
cannot see in. In other words, you
have complete privacy, and can use
the porch or veranda the same as an
inside room, with infinitely more com
fort on hot days.
Vudor Porch Shades are just the
thing for boxing in porches or bal
comics that are to be used as outdoor
sleeping or living apartments.
Vudor Porch Shades are made of
thin, fiat strips of Linden Wood, close

They are artistically stained in soft,
