sportsman's Show at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Sportsman's Show,
which is to be held in the First Regi-
ment Armory building, Broad and Cal
lowhill Streets, from March 9th to
14th, now promises to far exceed in
Importance anything which the pro-
moters had hoped for. The prospects
for the Philadelphia show indicate that
the exhibition will exceed in beauty
any display that has ever been at
tempted in Philadelphia. Many of
the leading motor boat builders of the
country will be among the exhibitors.
The motor bicycle builders are also
making a good display and the gun
makers and fishing tackle manufac-
turers are sending in the latest models
of the productions of their various
factories.

One of the most stupenduous enter
prises of the age is the tunneling of
the Hudson River for the great Penn
sylvania Railroad system. Another
one of the Hudson River tunnels was
opened Tuesday and trains from New
York to New Jersey were operated.
The total cost when completed,
$40, 5000, 90. Number of men en-
ployed, $500. Time from Herald
Square, Manhattan, to Newark, when
system is finished, 20 minutes.
From surface of river to rails at
deepest point in the tunnel, 80 feet.
Actual time of crossing under river
bed, 3 minutes. Work begun in 1878
and discontinued, resumed in 1890
and again discontinued, work begun
by William G. McAdoo in 1901. En-
tire system will be in full operation
before the close of 1908.

With the electric light plant in
splendid condition and Improvements
such as will not need attention for
many years, the new Town Council
start upon another year with practi-
cally nothing to worry them. Atten-
tion, it is understood, will be given to
Smyrna's streets and when the wea-
ther becomes favorable the work inau-
gurated last year of macadamizing
will be pushed with more or less vi
gor. The lower section of Commerce
street from the -Four Corners" to
"Whopping' is yet to be done, after
which Main street is to receive at
tention. The experiment made on
Commerce street is not altogether to
the satisfaction Of the people of
Smyrna and whether Council by scrap
ing the muddy surface off, can make a
permanent improvement, remains to be
seen. John w. Watkins of the
Charles Warner Company who has
been furnishing the stone, has offered
to bring an expert road builder here
to consult with the Street Committee
on the manner of buiiiuing macadam
roads and assures the members of
Council that if properly constructed,
there would be no reason for com
plant. In addition to this, Town
Council needs to hire or purchase a
heavy steam roller. The fve-ton
roller which they recently purchased
an interest in from the Kent County
Levy Court, is not satisfactory, anc
council would have been better off il
they had saved the money and applied
it to better use. However, this ques
tion of road building needs to b.
studied with closer interest by tn,
members of Council and it is to b.
hoped that the coming year will not,
a great improvement in our streets
At best it is going to cost the tow
several thousand dollars to imprOv
our streets and it is we'll that tn
money be spent on something perma
met and lasting.

Calamity howlers are becoming
pessimistic over the financial condition
of the country but it is we'll to note
that such people have never developed
anything. Amid all the clamor, it is
we'll to consider that throughout our
history as nation, the note Of optOm-
ism has been dominant. Looking or the
bright side is a good thing to cult
vate. Our statesmen under whose
leadership we have gone forward and
upward, and our captains Of finance
and industry who have made the
wilderness bloom, have been optimists
even in hours OF darkness and peril,
and have walked by faith, led on by
hope. Our pioneers were Optimists,
and optimism has followed in the trails
they blazed. Roosevelt is an opti-
mist. The men who are candidates to
succeed him are optimists. Oul
people are optimists. There is Moth
ing in the recent or more distant pas
of the United States to discourage
optimism. There is nothing in th'
people or their leaders that does no
assure that progress material ant
moral will be continuous. The pes
simist at the moment may see mucl
to justify a gloomy view, but he VIII
reads the future in the light of tn
past sees the clouds already disappear
ing and the light breaking in. Gu
optimism is sincere conviction, and
has been always translated int
action. 1t is not the poetry Of tn
dreamer, but of the maker and nnolde
and fashioner

We are pleased to note the many
kindly expressions on our issue of last
week and the equipping of our plant
with a typesetting machine. 1t en-
courages us to feel that our efforts are
meeting with the hearty encourage
ment of the people. After all the
Times is the peoples paper and by
pleasing them we feel our efforts are
availing something. The Times this
week is completely set up by machinery
and one page is as interesting with
local and state news as another.

In the election cf James H. Roberts
as commissioner from the Sixth Dis
trict, Smyrna Town Council will have
a valuable acquisition. Mr.. Roberts
is a painstaking and conservative bus
mess man, and it is of such that
Smyrna needs to govern affairs of the
town. Our best wishes are with
Councilman Roberts that he may have
a successful term.

We are glad the Dover State News
has retracted the statement it made
recently that Smyrna was without a
hotel. Such statements as this are
damaging to our town, especially
when it is considered that the Della
ware House, under the efficient man
agement of john P. GoldsbOrOugh, is
one of the best hosteleries in the
state. However, our contemporary
has apologized and we will forgive
them if they never do it again.

How about those fire escapes the
town was to place at the Smyrna
Opera House? Is Council going to
wait for another theatre disaster to
remind them of their duty? 1t is
sincerely hoped that an object lesson
will not be made in our own town.
Better take time by the forelock and
prepare means of easy exit at the
Opera House than to wait and regret
it afterward.

Benjamin A. Hazel of this town is
making a rattling good president of the
Sons of Delaware in Philadelphia. He
and his co-workers manage to have an
interesting meeting every once in a

banquets of the year and reflected
credit upon all who participated
President Hazel will go out of office

1t speaks in favor of Local Option

have reason to rejoice in this fact.

GETTING RADICALIZED.

From the New Bedford Standard.
Judged by the standards of a half
century ago, Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan
and the rest are radical-but the
standards of SO years hence, when
, only the memory of them remains,
will inevitably judge them conserva-
live. We speak mainly of those
Standards and tests which have to
40 with passing issues. Looking back
to the men who led in the great
movements which the conservatives
of Webster's time were afraid of as
being radical, we can see clearly
enough that they were not disturbers
of old-time principles of honor, of in.
tegrity, Of justice-they were apply
ing these very principles to the con-
ditions of their hour. Their radicalism
consisted mainyl in an effort to bring
the nation up to the eXemplification
of it's own professed principles. And
in the history we have one more
demonstration, repeated over and
over in the record of human pro-
gress, of how in the process of time
the new radicalism becomes the old
conservatism. That this nation is
going through the same experience
again, we have no question.
