GOOD ROADS IN SUSSEX.

HE good roads movement is taking shape in
Sussex county. If any county of the State
needs better roads it is Sussex The eastern part
OF the county has some fairly good roads on
which it is easy to drive. There is no reason why
The entire county should not have similar high
ways.
The Levy Court has concluded that gravel
xoads are the best for the county, and probably
this decision is correct We do not believe that
the macadam roads in Sussex, all things consid-
cred, would be desirable. Jersey has some dirt
and gravel roads that are everything that could
be desired IN the way of country thoroughfares.
We are pleased to note that the movement for
good roads in Sussex is having practical results
When we get our roads in Delaware in present.
able condition we will wonder why we went along
5or many years with crude highways, that made
Eriving so UNPLEASANT.

MR.. LAwsoNs VISIT.

VAT HEN Colonel Thomas w. Lawson came
w to Wilmington yesterday he evidently
feared that he was visiting a frenzied community
If not. he would not have been guarded by able
detectives during his stay. However Mr.. Law
son departed from the State without bloodshed
No one tossed bricks at him, and he plainly told
Mr. Friedman that he did not throw any hsura-
tive gold bricks at anyone here
Perhaps Mr. Lawson thought that some OF inc
former friends of Mr. Addicks were waiting LOT
him. but there was no danger on that score, lot
the most devoted of them are pasturing IN new
fields No one in Delaware, so lar as we are III
formed has been seriously lured by Mr. Lawson
schemes.
Maybe Mr.. Lawson feared that some OF his
talk would be considered disordery in which
event he would be "yanked' by the police, Tor our
police authorities can be quick on the trigger, as
some strangers in Delaware have learned
The next time Mr.. Lawson comes to Delaware,
we trust he will be without nervousness. No one
will hurt him.
The fact however, that so many prominent
people rich or alleged to be rich are frequently
under the guardianship of detectives is an un-
usual thing Hettie Green for instance, eats her
frugal meals under the nose of officers, and now
lawson. to be in style, calls upon the officers.
Will the day come when many OF the 'promi-
nent7 or rich citizens will have to appear under
police protection? This penalty Of prominence
we should think would be nuisance.
The poor man has an advantage over some rich
men IN a few respects A detective guards the
poor chap only when he is under arrest, but under
this new turn the rich fellow, whether in Jail or
out of it, may have TO be watched by the police.

Editorial Opinion
oyster Revenue Collector.

Oyster Revenue Collector.
Dover News
1t appears on looking over Oyster
Revenue Collector Wright's report for
the last year. that he again comes out
with sails all spread financially. He
turns over to the State treasurer even
more money for the past year than for
the preceding years. We regard il
highly creditable to Captain Wright
that he has placed this business that
his predecessors seemed 20 have let be-
come an expense to the State, on a
clear revenue paying basis of more
than $1,000 annually. He has splendidly
redeemed some statements that ne
made before his appointment. that the
business was not properly managed
We shall be glad to hear from time
to time that Collector Wright's services
are properly acknowledged by his con-
tinuation in an office which he has re-
built and made a matter of credit and
revenue to the public. And so far as
we know has not fallen into the train
of ofhce-holders who devote their best
working hours to trying to get an in
crease Of salaries.
A View Of the Gray League.
Dover News.
We observe that our Gray friends
have a Delaware State Organization
now in operation for the further boom
erang of their distinguished candidate
The list of great men as Vice-Presi-
dents. etc. would seem formidable If
there was anything for them to do but
paw for the OFay buttons and dis
tribute them. Our delegates have al
ready been instructed for the Judge
and will vote for him. We see moth
ing more that can be done here in Del
aware by a league unless it is pro-
posed to have. Mr.. Handy recite his
speech and revise it for him, and IN
notify the delegates not to come back
here if they fail to land the Judge. 1t
seems quite a pity that this great sur
plusage of Gray steam should run L.
waste here. when other States cannot
get a puff of It. Out in big States
where there are conventions yet to be
held no Gray pioneer it seems has ever
planted his lone staff N the earth, and
lifted his voice in an appeal for his
candidate. ONLY hero in Delaware,
where all has been done that can be
done. are Gray leagues and clubs
multiplied. and the little State beaten
and shaken to put khe Judge through

swARTHMoRE FOOTBALL.

II HE Swarthmore College boys want to hold
n on 10 their football and other inter-colegi-
ate sports for this year at least and it would be
reasonable for the college authorities to grant
their request. The schedule of the football games
has been completed, and unless these games are
played there will be a great disappointment
among the students This is natural. For some
years Swarthmore has had free scope in sports
and to choke off the athletics at once would be
harsh treatment.
After this year the students say they will be
content to abolish football. OF course the de-
cision of the faculty to abandon the sport has
been a pull at the heart strings OF the average
young student at Swarthmore, because the col
lege has held high position in the football
world.
It is probable, however, that after year or so
without the sport, football will be resumed on
much less elaborate scale.
Some fear has been expressed that Swarthmore
may lose in students because of the abolition of
football, but falling off in attendance is mprob-
able Columbia University may be cited as one
of the largest institutions where supremacy in
athletics has had little to do with attendance
The athletic standing of college is not, or at
least ought not to be, considered by parents
when they look to the education of their children.

pulous dealers, mindful only Of profit and caring
or the health of their patrons, are offering for
grade, impure whiskey, which thew tell you is as
Dufy's."
1t is cheap concoction and fraud, intended
TO deceive the people. OF course, when a
remedy has been before the public so long, has
been prescribed and used by the best doctors
and in all the prominent hospitals, and has
carried the blessing of health into so many
thousands of homes as Dhfy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has, limitations are bound to arise.
Baf hsy can initiate The bottle and label only--ao
one caH initiate the c0HfenfJ.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an absolutely
pure distillation of matted grain; great care
being used to have every kernel thoroughly
matted, thus destroying the germ and producing
a predigested liquid food in the form of a malt
essence, which is the most effective tonic stim-
ulant and invigorator known to science; softened
by warmth and moisture, its palatabiity and
freedom from injurious substances render it so
that it can be retained bv the most sensitive
stomach.
ANY firm that will sell imitation or substitution
goods will sell impure goods. The firm that is
dishonest in one thing would not hesitate to be
dishonest in another. Whenever you see imita
ton and substitution goods offered for sale by a
firm, beware of anything and everything put up
by that firm. You endanger your own life and
the lives OF your family and friends by dealing
with them.

IOWA REPUBLICANS
DECLARE FOR TAFT
Approve Ohio Platform and Endorse
Allison for Senate.

Des Moines, Iowa, March l9.-The
Republican state convention yester-
day elected four delegates at large
TO the national convention, instruct
ed them to vote for William II. Taft
endorsed Senator William b. Allison
by a vote of 672 1924 to 5O7 7-2A
and approved the plank of the Ohio
platform calling for a revision of the
tariff at a special session of Congress.
The Allison people dominated the
convention from its opening TO its
close and had things their own way
throughout. The Cummins people,
although defeated in the convention,
took special delight in having, as they
declared, forced the stand -patters'
to endorse a plank calling for revi-
sion Of the tariff and they made a
point OF frequently reminding the
Allison people of the fact
The latter insisted however, there
are as many revisionists in their
ranks as with the Cummins men.

duke came to Rome the middle of
February and had several long inter
views with the king and his elder
brother, the Duke of Aosta. The
latter came from Naples purposely
for the conference. Following these
interviews the Duke of Abruzzi asked
leave of absence from the command
of the battleship Regina Elena. This
was granted, since which time the
navy department has heard nothing
of his movements.

URGES REVOLUTION
Calls on Followers To Arm Them
selves and Use Dynamite IL
Necessary.

New York, March 19.-The atten-
tion of Prosecutor Emley of Pater-
son, n. j., has been called to the fol-
lowing article, published in the latest
number of La Question Sociale, the
leading organ Of the anarchists in
this city, published in that city:
I'VE want everybody to be with US.
We invite everybody to get together
and arm themselves. Seventy-five
per cent have only a knife in the
house which will cut only onions.
1T will be a good thing for every
oody to have a gun. When we are
ready the first thing to do is to
break into the armory and seize the
rifles and ammunition, Then all the
people will be with US as soon as they
see this. The next thing to do is to
get hold OF the police station and
when the police see they are not
strong enough the chief Of police will
ask for soldiers.
Even at that the dynamite is easy
to get for US. Twenty-Five cents
worth will blow big iron door
down. We don't want to forget that
the dynamite will help US win. Two
or three Of US can defy a regiment OF
soldiers without war. We will start
when no one Is thinking anything
about It, Then we can beat them
man for man.
,"At that time show no sympathy
for any soldiers, even if they be sons
Of the people. As soon as we get hold
of the police station 1t is our vic
tory The thing is 10 Kill the entire
force If not, they will kill US. After
We have done this, the first thing TO
do is to look out for ourselves first
and then for the people who helped
us.
we must get into bhe armory, and
In case We cannot, then we Will blow
il down with dynamite. Then. when
we are ready. we must set fire to
three or four houses in different To-
cations on the outskirts, which VIII
bring out the fire department and all
the police. This will be an easy
thing to do as the police and fire
men Will be on the outskirts"
