Germs and the Kiss

Science presumes too far when IL

but he and his physicians can no more
accomplish the downfall and extinction
OF the kiss than a woman with a
broom can sweep the clouds out of the

alted, il is the kiss. DO otherwise and
you rob literature Of some Of its great

nance; you simply take the bloom
right out Of everything that has been

VISITED THE JOURNAL.

HOUSANDS OF our friends last evening ac-
- cepted the invitation of The. Journal
and paid us visit. We appreciated the compli-
ment. For many hours an immense gathering Of
people stood in front OF The Journal office,
both in Fourth street and in Shipley street, heard
the news OF the election, and were entertained
with moving picture exhibition.
We believe that the arrangements made for
the reception OF The Journals friends were
the best ever prepared by newspaper in Della
ware. and the many kind words said about The
Journal arc OF course, a source of satsfac-
ton to use. During the evening The Journal
issued four extra editions, keeping the people Of
Wilmington fully informed of the result OF the
election. 1t soon became apparent that TAFT had
been elected president. and rapidly as the bat
terry OF hve type-setting machines could get this
news in shape and made into plates by the most
complete stereotyping apparatus in Delaware.
the thousands OF the extra edition papers were
dropped from the giant press of The Journal
with almost lighning-like rapdity before the
eyes of thousands of beholders
The office and machinery OF The Journal
last evening were inspected by hundreds of peo-
pie who were surprised to know personally of the
extent of the plant and were interested i'll seeing
the modern process OF making newspaper in
Wilmington such as The Journal shows.
We trust this will not be the last visit OF our
friends They came from every walk OF life, and
all were much interested. In the host OF visitors
were Democrats and Republicans ahke Tor The
Journal gave the news impartially. it being
the desire OF the paper to present the news in un-
biased form During the early part of the even
ing especially, before it became settled fact that
Taft had been elected we fancy that there were
about as many Democrats as Republicans among
our friends gathered in front of the office. judg+
ing from the cheering that greeted the presenta-
ton of the handsome pictures of the candidates
of both parties on the canvass This was of
course. pleasing. for first OF all, The Journal
tries TO be a newspaper for all the people, without
regard to party The paper wishes to number as
many as possible among its friends.
We believe that BY our service last evening
and considering the vast throng that visited us
that we have made more friends. that more Will
minetonians arc interested in the paper than
ever
The Journal shall therefore try to deserve
their confidence and support so that it shall be
a welcome visitor to an ever-increasing number
OF homes.

Asleep on the Beat.

Buffalo EXPRESS.
The president Of the Chicago Board
Of Education Is one Otto c. Schneider
Mr.. Schneider has recently been quo5ed
as saving that football. baseball and
American sports in general have be-
come a disease in our schools. The
games make heroes out Of a dozen
boys and leave the rest Of the school
to occupy the seats in the amphithe-
atre. The Youngsters that do the play.
ing are taught that they are better men
than their fellows. and Il they manage
TO beat a team from another school. as
they are urged to do by hook or crook
they are exalted like dcmigods."
Ask any high school boy or girl in
the land what he or she thinks Of such
sentiment. and the answer IS that Mr..
Schneider is dead one or that he is d
back number or that he is asleep on tho
beat Most assuredly. There was a
time of course. when high schools
were maintained for other purposes
hut that was in the long-ago. And
whoever heard ANYTHING about high
schools in those days: How many per-
sons could tell the names Of the high
schools or their standing or what they
amounted TO or anything OF that sort
How different are the conditions to.

The Democrats made an active and stirring
fight. They did everything possible TO win. but
they lost simply because majority OF the people

It will be recalled that during the three previous
campaigns in Delaware the party was dormant
and the elections then practically went by
default but this year the Democrats had on their

The Democrats were aided greatly by dissatiS-

FROM LAW COURT,
Rescript by Judge Cornish Handed
Down in Somerset County Case.

The law court Tuesday handed down
q rescrirt in the Somerset county case
of Joseph b. Peaks. ct ais, VS.. Clyde H.
Smith, giving Judgment for the de-
fnrdant
The rescript which was drawn by AS
sociate Justice Leslie c. Cornish. is as
follows.
Action of trover brought by mort
cages against an officer to recover the
value of personal property attached and
held by him. r. s. Chap. 93, Sec. I. pro-
vides that no mortgage of personal
property is valid against any other
person than the parties therto. unless
possession is delivered to and retained
by the mortgages, or the mortgage IS
awarded by the clerk of the city, town
or plantation in which the mortgagor
resides when the mortgage is given.
If any mortgagor resides in an ,unor-
&anized place. the mortgage shall be re-
corded in the oldest adjoining town or
plantation organized as aforesaid in
the county.
In this case the mortgagor resided in
Asquith. an unorganiZed place in SOM
e1set county. with no town or organ
lied plantation adjoining The mort
stSees did not record the mortgage be-
cause there was no place in which it
could be recorded. Nor did they take
and retain possession of the mortgaged
property.
Held: That the mortgage is given
the option either to take and keep pos
session Of the mortgaged property or to
record his mortgage. The Two methods
are distinct, one or the other is indis-
pensahle. Here the mortgages could
not record their mortgage. and they
We're therefore obliged to take and keep
the property in order to preserve their
rights as against attaching creditors.

action fails
