and this indication would prove there
is a good chance for investment for
some of our capitalists to put up
some rows of houses. Smyrna has
really arrived at the point that it is
useless to try to attract industries
to locate here when there are not
enough rentable houses to supply an
increased population. Smyrna could
enjoy a building boom with seeming
profit and it remains for some one
to start the ball rolling. Good
rentable homes are in demand. There
is one thing to attract people to
locate in Smyrna and there is another
thing to give them home accommoda-
tions after they get here. The one
is as necessary as the other.

The Democrats have put up as their
standard bearers: William Jennings
Bryan, of Nebraska, for president,
and John w. Kern, of Indiana, for
vice president. While many Dem
Ocrats in Delaware rejoice at the
ticket named at the Denver COnven-
tion, there is still another element to
contend with that are not so easily
placated The Wilmington Sunday
Star, a Democratic organ, expresses
this feeling in the first paragraph of
its editorial as follows: "In nomina-
ting William Jennings Bryan for the
presidency for the third time the
Democrats have taken big risks. 1t
is true Mr.. Bryan is universally re-
garded as very able man, and he is
generally conceded to be a sincere
man, but it is also true that he has
been twice defeated for the Office
of chief magistrate of the country.
He will for that reason be looked
upon by many as already doomed to
another disappointment. The crowd
likes to be with the winner, and there
is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan's reputa-
ton as a loser will determine the
course of many men among that class
whose party affiliations is determined
by considerations other than those of
principle but who nevertheless have
votes that will be cast and counted.
Of course it is not necessary to say
that this is an objection that does not
touch Mr.. Bryan's qualifications fol

A Revelation

1t is a revelation to people, the
severe cases of lung trouble that
have been cured by Foley's Honey
and Tar. 1t not only stops the
cough but heals and strengthens the
lungs. L. M. Ruggles, Reasnor,
Iowa, writes: "The doctors said 1
had consumption, and l got no better
until l took Foley's Honey and Tar.
1t stopped the hemorrhages and pain
in my lungs and they are now as
sound as a bullet. ="

What America needs more than
railway extension, and Western
irrigation and low tariff, and
bigger wheat crop, and a merchant
marine, and new navy, is a revival
of piety, the kind mother and father
used to have-piety that counted it
good business to stop for daily
family prayer before breakfast,
right in the middle of harvest; that
quit field work a half hour early
Thursday night so as to get the
chores done and go to prayer meet
ing; that borrowed money to pay the
preachers salary, and prayed
fervently in secret for the salvation
of the rich man who looked with
scOrn on such unbusiness-like
behavior. That's what we need now
to clean this country of the filth of
graft, and of greed, petty and big;
of worship of fine houses and big
lands, and high Office and grand
social functions. What is this thing
we are worshiping but a vain
repetition of what decayed Nations
fell down and wOrshiped, just before
their light went out? Read the
history of Rome in decay and you
will find luxury there that could
lay a big dollar over our little
doughnut that looks so large to us.
Great wealth never made a Nation
substantial nor honorable. There is
nothing on earth that looks good
that is so dangerous for a man or a
Nation to handle as quick, easy big
money. If you resist its deadly in
fuence, the chances are it will get
your son. 1t takes greater and finer
heroism to dare to be poor ir
America than to charge an earthworks

FALLING GUN KILLS CHILD
Both Barrels Discharged, Tearing Lit
tie Girl of Near Newark FrightfulIy

TIC SiIl VI iNCol lNCWdIN
While the eight-year-old daughter
of Harvey Spence, of ROseville, near
Newark, was playing in a room at
her home with several companions
yesterday morning a double barrel
shotgun standing in corner was
knocked down and both barrels
discharged. A quantity of the shot
struck the girl in the abdomen, and
she died a short time later. Several
of the other children were struck by
the flying grains of shot and pain
fully but not seriously wounded.
The youngsters were thrown into a
panic and, cut and bleeding, they
rushed from the room. The Spencer
child was found lying on the floor
with the lower part of her body torr
open. DR.. Walter H. Steele was
summoned, but the child died before
he could do anything for her.

If the men of Smyrna would use
the energy and perseverance dis
played by women of the Twen-
tieth Century Club in improving and
developing Smyrna, what splendid
thing it would be. Such spirit and
enthusiasm would bring US more
industries, would build US more
rentable houses, would have US a
Federal Building, and more up-tO-date
and modern improvements.

We gave on our second page last
week an article from William A. HUI
kill of Wilmington, former Smyr-
nian, which sets forth some interesting
thoughts concerning Woodland Beach
our Delaware Bay Resort. The sub
ject is timely and to the point.
Woodland Beach could be made a
much better and more attractive
place than it is but it needs the
hearty cooperation of the owners of
the resort and the citizens of Kent
County. True our Levy Court has
appropriated small fortune to keep
the marsh road in repair but if it
were built right in the first place,
probably the County would have saved
the expense of so many frequent
repairs. If the owners of the resort
on the other hand would improve the
place with electric lights, concrete
and board walks, up-to-date hotels
and cottages such as outlined by Mr..
Hukill and above all would hold uI
the moral tone of the resort anC
cater to the best people, Woodland
Beach might become the most attrac
tive bayside resort on the Delaware.
However, Woodland is a delightful
place to go. In recent years J. R
Mott president of the Association ha
made a number of improvements
Thousands of people go there ever
season. Sunday Schools and all kind
of excursions patronize it and Will
not on the line that Mr.. Huxill woul
have it, nevertheless it is a pleasan
place to spend an outing. Ker
County would miss it were it nc
there.
