AboIishlng Turnpikes.

The Philadelphia Press Is max,
ing strenuous effort to abolish
the turnplkes in the State, and il
looks very much as though it will
succeed. Wherever q turnpike
is located, the mem bers of the
legislature from that section are
being requested to support such
measure as will throw these
highways open to the public.
Just how the bill will be framed
has not been considered definite
ly, but of course it is understood
that the turnplkes will have to be
purchased by the State, county,
or townships, or all combined, as
the Legislature cannot pass a
measure that will arbitrarily take
away the rights of the stock hold
ers. 1t will depend largely upon
how the bill is worded whether 1t
will pass or not. If the burden
of purchase Is placed upon the
county or township. it will meet
with serious opposition from the
rural districts, as many of the
counties and townships cannot
afford TO purchase the turnplkes
operated through their munlci
palities. II the bill should pro
vide that the Com monweelth shall
purchase them, they then will be
come State highways, operated
directly under the control of the
Highway Department, and will
have to be maintalned by the
State. Herein exists one of the
troubles with our present method
of constructing State roads.
They are built but not MAIN
tanned as they should be. No
difference how well a road may
be originally constructed, 1t will
wear In time and must be kept
in good condition. This is not
now done as 1t should be with
the roads already made by the
State. This is very important
item that should be fully consld.
cred IN connection with the pre-
paration OF the bill for the pur-
chase OF the turnpikes, for we
are assuming that the entire bur.
den of purchase Is to be placed
upon the Commonwealth, other
wise the bill will never likely be
come law, for the reasons al
ready given.
1t looks as though a vast
amount of money will be expend
ed in the construction of State
Roads within the next few years.
The Highway Department will
ask an appropriation of $5,00O,-
600 to 100000 from the next
Legislature with which to con-
struct roads for which appllca-
ton has already been made by
various counties. Then there is
the State Highway or boulevard
across the State that has aroused
considerable interest and which
is generally believed should be
built. These wilt mean the out
lay of considerable amount of
money so that it is questionable
whether or not the turnpike mat
ter will be seriously considered
until these are consum mated.
However, the State has the money
and Its credit is good. 1t might
be well to adjust the whole thing
at one time, for no one will deny
that the turnpike Is a relic of the
past and should be abolished as
soon as possible. Other States
have done so, and Pennsylvania
cannot do so too soon. franklin

tial in those first organizations are still with us. Surely they must see the fruits of their labors and be satisfied.
 A small organized association, some thing like book club, made the Trst collection of books in Washington. This was started by MT and Mrs Frederick w. Gum, after whom this present il- brary is named. It consisted or " few books, which were kept in the front of the room, now the family meeting room of the old Gunnery building. This book club could not have been started more than two years before the first library organization was formed. But it seems to have been the nucleus put of which the Washing ton Library association grew
 Then he traced the history of the movement from January, 1852, when a company of about twenty men organ nized the Library association, to It's dls- bandment in 1887, and the formation of the Wilmington Reading Room and Circulating Library association. Here MT Carter took up the history Of the second project, carrying it in detail to the beginnng of the library fund for the building dedicated to-day.
 "The steps towards this new organ ization," he said were all prepared and guided by two of our number whose ab- sence to-day is the one dark line in our brightness and rejoicing, Senator Platt and Dr Ford. These two were the ones to whose hands this work fell. Would, indeed, they might be with us to see the completion of that to which they gave very large interest and active effort.
 Senator Platt, the chairman of the incorporators, received the following letter, dated September 20, 1902: .+H
 Dear Senator Platt: II the name Gum Memorial Library should be adopted, and if a fund of at least S25, ,OO0 can be raised, at least one-halt of it to be invested for maintenance fund, I will contribute sl0, 900 towards it. Further, if the land north of Mrs Galpin's house shall be thought suitable for the purpose, l will give the land as a library building site.
 "Yours truly,

 "This was the first official nenJion of the name Gum Memorial Library The appropriateness was felt by eve'} one on the board and in the town. Nothing could be more fitting than that this library building should commemo- rate the work of frederick W. Gum and of his wife, Abigail l. Gum.

 A cable message from President E. H. Van Ingen of the Library assocla- tion, now in London, was read, con- graduating Washington on the com pletion of its library, as follows:
 I congratulate the people of Washing ton upon the completion of their libra ". They deserve what they have so long earnestly worked for. In recogniz- ing the beneficient lives and examples of Mir and Mrs Gum the community honors itself. 1 share the common sor- row over the absence of Senator Platt and of his trusty and valued friend, Doctor Ford.

 REV DR RICHARDS ADDRESS.
 Rev Dr Richards of New York was next introduced and made very fine address. He said in part: There can be no doubt that among the great in- ventions of the world stands out prom inently the art of writing in which one can make his feelings matter of per manent record. The early settlers of Massachusetts colony in their poverty set about at once the founding of liar yard college, and undoubtedly you have q heard the story how little company \ of country parsons brought together their little collections of books in or der to make the beginnings of Yale university. If you are going to have schools and teachers you must also have somewhere books that are suitable to be read. What we are aiming at here in this country of ours to have col lection of books, larger or smaller, in every place where people live.
 This community has been peculiarly favored. Mr Gum was man who never ceased to be man. He was a man of most verile quality, who had in him much of the hardihood of the pioneer. He was man down to his three score years who kept the exuber- ance Of boy. It is significant fact that the boys who followed his meth ods were a success in the classes. It was Henry Ward Beecher who said "He was predestinated from all eter- nity to oe a good schoolmaster. It ,5 easy 10 discover why the Master of

PLAYERS DID WELL IN
FRONTIER MELODRAMA

THE Mouth OF the Cannon" proved
a big hit last night at the orpheum.
being generally pronounced one of the
best melodramas Frank Cooley and
Miss Kingsbury have appeared in since
their arrival here. The play has a
fascinating story. woven around a
mine in New Mexico, which its owner
has named The Mouth of the Can
non" A secret marriage between the
hero's sister and the brother of the
girl he loves starts a series of coma
pllcations that for a time threaten to
bring about the shedding of innocent
blood. Incidentally. much mischief is
worked by a yillainous Mexican, who
in the end meets his just deserts, ac-
cording 10 proverbial nelodramatic
custom,
Mr.. Cooley was excellent as Bob
Maxwell, a rough and ready young
miner, while Miss Kingsbury was vi
vacious and charming as Nancy Lee,
the heroine. Mr.. Dey. as the Mexican
bandit, did his customary excellent
work, and Miss Plummer played the
Mexican senorfta in splendid style.
Miss Maize Marteli, Ray Avery and
George Kenneth had the other serious
roles and did them well.
The Mouth Of the Cannon is chock
full of comedy, much amusement be-
inc furnished last night by Miss Har-
rfet James, who returns to playing
parts after several weeks rest. Billy
Ross, AL. JOY, Lionel Swift and Carl
Case. The play is to be repeated at
the matinee this afternoon and the

rendering new and pleasing specialties.

strongest plays in Mr.. Cooleys roper

HARTWELL LAUNCH ARRIVED
SAFELY.

Word of the safe arrival of the
launch which carried Dr. Wood, Leslie
Scott and O. Sorenson TO kaunakakai
Molokai, for the purpose of giving as
sistance TO Charles Hartwell, was
brought to the city yesterday morning
by the Island steamer Mauna Loa.
Which arrived from Hawaii and Maui
ports shortly after 6 clock Acting
on wireless order from Honolulu, the
Mauna Loa put in to Kaunakakai dur
ing the might, but the launch party
had proceeded inland and there was
nothing to be learned of the probable
condition of the wounded man. No
further word has been received in Ho-
nolulu either, Chief Justice HartweH
stating late yesterday afternoon that he
had received no messages.
The Mauna Loa brought word also of
an increased activity in the pit of
Haiemaumau
She brought in fair number Of pas
sengers and a large cargo of agricul-
tural products, including 1860 bags OF
coffee, IL barrels of oranges, a consign-
ment of bananas and PIT pieces of koa
The run over gave the passengers "a
taste of rough weather, the channels
being choppy although the sea condi-
lions were pleasant along the Hama
kua coast.
