Editorial Opinion
Good Roads.

Louisviile Courier-J Journal
New York newspaper recently as
serted that experience proved that In
New York nine out Of ten taxpayers
may be readily stirred to enthusiasm
over a discussion as to whether betting
on horse races should be permitted al
though perhaps no more than one out
Of the ten patronizo racing or INDUCES
In betting at the track, but that not
half OF them could be persuaded TO
take an active interest in tax reform
proposing a saving Of expense 10 each
of them. This comment upon the psy-
chology of the bread winner is appli-
cable to the good roads question. The
average farmer takes an interest in al
most every plank Of state or nation
al political platform and becomes the
enthusiastic partisan of one or another
Of the opposing candidates, although
the probability that the principles
enunciated will be upheld by the tri-
umphant contestant for honors and
emolument may be, and often Is. re-
mote. But bad roads are suffered with
complacency in many sections of the
country because the class to which
they mean a dead expense as well as
discomfort accept them as one Of the
inevitable evils Of life and grin and
endure accordingly.

According to the stories from Dover our
Democratic friends are having of their old
time rows, and there is every indication that the
convention on Tuesday will be lively and inter-
estng Mr. John T. Salisbury seems to be on
the alert after enjoying political sleep for some
time. Dover messages say the old Wolcott fac
ton, strengthened by former Senator Kenney. is
arraved against the Salisbury faction, supported
by Alexander M. DAILY and his friends. Between
now and convention time there will be plenty of
opportunity to make and break states. OF course
the greater number of citizens are rising to re-
mark that the Democrats are sure to do the
wrong thing, whatever that may mean.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.

THE Republicans of New Castle county have
n nominated an excellent county ticket and
there is no reason why the candidates should not
win a big victory at the polls. The record OF the
party in the management OF the affairs OF the
county is such that the Republicans may safely
appeal for vote of confidence. In this county
the party has pursued course that must inspire
the voters with the idea that the Republican
management of affairs should be continued
Mr. Robert M. Burns, the nominee Of the party
for county receiver, has made fine record in
his office. He has ably attended to his duties,
and at all times has served the best interests OF
the taxpayers. His denomination shows the con-
fdence reposed in him by the Republicans. His
record must appeal to his many friends in the
opposition party and in fact to all citizens who
believe that the county affairs should be con-
Quoted on a busnesslike basis.
Mr. Harry A. Brown received his nomination Tor
clerk OF the peace by unanimous consent, some
thing of which Mr.. Brown should be proud. He
has had much experience in county affairs has
good record as a Levy Court commissioner, and
we believe that if elected he will fulfill the duties
of clerk of the peace in satisfactory and credit
able manner.
Mr. Herbert L. Rice in every way is competent
for the office of prothonotary. The fact that he
was nominated without opposition shows the
high esteem in which he is held. There is no
question of his qualifications for the Office.
Mr. Charles H. Lippincott won his nomination
with hosts of friends, and has been through sew
eral campaigns in his efforts to land this nomna-
ton. There is always lively contest for this
place. Mr. Lippncott deserved the honor that
has been bestowed upon him. He has every
qualification to make good sheriff.
OF Mr.. Phemma Chandler little need be said
He has represented the best element in the party
and the voters of this county have placed their
stamp of approval upon his conduct of the office
He is so we'll known and his management OF his
office has been so praiseworthy that it goes
without saying that Mr.. Chandler will be one Of
the leaders on the ticket.
The nominee for coroner Mr.. Thomas J.
Gaynor, is a Wilmington man, who has been very
active in the work OF the party, and his nomina-
tion comes as a just reward. He is popular man
and his nomination is an assurance that the work
of this important office will be done as well in
the future as il has been in the past.
The taxpayers may be assured that the affairs
of the county will be managed in a satisfactory
manner on a firm business basis as they should
be, and that the nominees will, without doubt,
receive cordial support at the polls.

How the so-called Protestant Alliance could

A wise Movement.

A call has been made by all
classes of citizens of Winn 10 hold
a mass meeting in WINFIELD at 1
p. m. on Thursday. October %.
to discuss and formulate plans tor
the cultivation Of the farms, and
the best products to be raised to
supplant cotton. which has always
been the money crop of the cotton
belt. This is doue for the purpose
of encouraging such methods as
will replace the ravages OF the
boil weevils and other pests that
have nearly rendered impossible
the successful cultivation of cot
ton.
All the wealth of the land en-
anates from the soil. Its products
are the forces that furnish the
SIM ws and life blood Of CONNER
cial and business life. Ever,
known occupation amor G men Is
dependent on bounteous h :rvests
of the fertile earth in response to
the industry of the tilleIs of the
soil in bringing forth its rich har-
vests Hence the prosperity and
needs of the people are closet,
inteswoven with the labors of the
man who wields the hoe.
Out of the councils of the many
may emanate plans that will tide
over the scQurges which nature
places on the toll of human hands.
Hence the tremendous importance
of such assemblies as the one pro-
posed. Ii is hoped that this gath
ering will not only be numerously
attended. but out of its councils
will emanate wise decision and
practical plans and purposes that
will rebound to the interests OF all
classes of the people who are
individually. collectively and so
vitality interested in the success OF
all kinds of agricultural pursuits.
Let the people respond enthusias-
tically. deterninedly, and ener-
getically tofthis movement to bet

and rural residents of Winn parish.
