SIGNS on Farmers, Homes.

It has been frequently suggested, and
the suggestion is a good one, for every
farmer to place his name and the
name of his farm on his road-gate.
Not only would persons driving to a
place more easily find It, but it would
add more pleasure and interest to peo-
pie driving from place to place This
last result would have special effect
to well kept and pretty houses. An
observing person will seldom pass a
beautiful farm without desiring TO
know who is its enterprising owner.

CONSTITUTION AND EVILS.

nKLAHOIA adopted a constitution that was
- to correct all the evils in existence, if such
evils can be corrected by law, as some think,
But some of the cities of Oklahoma are afflict-
ed with the same evils that distress cities in
States. For instance something is radically
wrong with our city government" says the Mus
keegee Times, of Oklahoma That city seems TO
be in the grip of crooked or incompetent officials
The Times hints that the officials of its city are
crooked or incompetent There are numerous re-
ports that degraded women are being blackmail-
ed, that gamblers are paying for protection, that
the police are in cousion with thieves and conf
dence men, This is strange, coming from State
where It was proposed to abolish evil by constitu-
tonal fat.

TAFT TIDE IS RISING.

a CCORDING to the estimate of the man
4 a ayers OF the Taft presidential campaign
2I8 delegates out of the go who will sit in the
Chicago convention have been chosen and OF this
number ia are instructed to support TAFT
Twelve are unclassifed, thirty-two are instructed
for other candidates. and thirty delegates are con-
tested. Taft already has nearly two-hfths OF the
number required to give him majority OF the
convention. If the same rate for Taft is contin-
ued the secretary will have an overwhelming ma
jority of the convention and his nomination will
be assured on the first ballot.
The opposition has made but little headway
against the secretary. The forces appear to be
badly scattered, and even with the favorite son
plan of preventing delegates from being enrolled
in the Taft column, the opponents of the secre-
tafy have not been able to make much showing
There are, Of course, many large States to be
heard from, and it is hardly probable that the
ratio Of delegates for Taft will be maintained but
the present indications are all in the direction Of
the Secretary Of War The opponents of Taft
for the time being at least have exhausted their
efforts to stem the Taft tide. And considering
their remarkable resources and skill as political
leaders, it is surprising that they have not made
better showing.

PUSHING THE WATER INQUIRY.

II HOSE who are performing their official du-
Il ties in connection with the investigation OF
the Water Board are not to be caJoed or fright
ened off by the carpng of clustering critics This
inquiry has come up in plain, businesslike man
ner and will be disposed of in the same spirit
After the appointment of Mr.. Knox as COM
missioner friction developed in the management
OF the department. Mr. Knox was convinced that
the department could be organized in a manner
that would improve its efficiency. AS a commits
sioner he had a right to express his views and to
demand an investigation. He was clearly acting
within his duties as he saw them. If the inquiry
sustains the charges of Mr. Knox he will be en-
titled to the thanks of all those interested in see
ing the affairs of the city managed in accordance
with the best interests of the citizens. If the In
quiry fails to develop conditions such as Mr..
Knox believes exists in the department, he will
have the satisfaction of having conscientiously
performed his duties
Now what has followed this movement started
by Mr. Knox for the investigation? He has been
subjected to attacks entirely unwarranted, and
those who have dared urge reasonable and fair
investigation Of the department have likewise
been denounced
If the desire of the critics and all others in the
city is to secure an efficient administration of the
Water Department why all the violent objec-
ton? The people will finally render their verdict
on the evidence as it may be presented.
The mayor will proceed with his investigation
as is his duty, and he is not at all likely to be
swerved from his intention by his bluffing critics.

The opposition to Rryan.

Newark Ledger, (Dem.)
The chance Of the Democratic party
electlng a President was good some time
ago but the chance is growing less daily.
The division OF the party over candidates
is so pronounced that the national party is
almost hopelessly divided. The supporters
of Mr.. Bryan know Of no man in the
Democratic party outside Of Mr.. Bryan,
and those who favor John A. johnson or
Judge George Gray do not want Bryan.
Is Mr.. Bryan any stronger to-day than
in 1900? Is he as strong as in 1sO47 VIII
some one answer these questions satisfac-
tory to the rank and hie of the Demo-
cratic party. There is a wild hurrah for
Bryan now; it was so in 1896 and 1900,
but he was not elected President. Can Nj
Bryan carry as many states as he did In
1882 1t is declared that he is not as strong
as he was in his first campaign There Is
nothing personal against Mr.. Bryan. No
Democrat has a word against this honor
able gentleman's character, but his doc
trines he advocated has not been forgot
ten and his political strength has waned.
His nomination seems to be assured but
conservative men believe that the party
will make a mistake. The mistake will dis
rupt the party, and the chance of electing
him will be less than four years ago.
However, there are many Democrats
anxious to have him for the Presidential
candidate, and unless the unexpected hap
pens he will carry the party to victory

SAMUEL L. RICHARDS DEAD
Station Agent at Woodside Succumbed
to Heart Attack Wednesday

Samuel L. Richards one of the
best known men of Kent county,
died suddenly at his home in Wood
side early Wednesday morning,
October 14th, aged Ga years. Mr..
Richards had evidently been siezed
with heart disease and died while
dressing, as he was sleeping peace
fully IN his room when his wife went
down to prepare breakfast, and when
she had the meal ready, on going to
his room she found him partly dressed
and dead on the floor. Mr.. Richards
went to Wilmington Tuesday to get
a relief from his duties as station
agent at Woodside, which position
he had held for thirty years. The
work has been heavy at his post
because of the large shipment of
freight carloads of tomatoes, sweet
potatoes and pears, he felt that
he could not go on another week.
While the company was considering
the matter he returned to work, but
his first morning on duty again
caused sufficient excitement to break
down the tissues and cause death.
Mr.. Richards was second lieutenant
of Company G, First Pennsylvania,
Reserves, Light Artillery, and was
honorably discharged at the close of
the Civil War. He was a Mason and
membar of Dover Conclave,
Heptasophs. He is survived by a
wife and four sons, namely: Clay
D., of Barnard, N. Y, Walter, of
Slatington, Pa, Samuel L. Jr., of
Greenwood, and Walter B., of
Trenton. The funeral took place
Saturday afternoon at 1.3O O'Clock
interment at Barratt's Chapel.
