DELAWARE AT CHICAGO.

A FTER the Delaware delegates to Chicago
L n have arrived and looked carefully over the
field. they will decide for whom they shall vote
for the presidential nomination. The Delaware
mystery will soon be solved, and we imagine
that the delegates will be lined up under the TAFT
banner.
There has been little doubt all along as to the
choice of Senator DUPONT, but the others have
given no mixing OF their favorite candidate. They
will use their own discretion and vote for the one
they consider the best man. OF course the time
is brief for an examination into the situation and
the convention will proceed on scheduled time.
Naturally the Delaware delegates have prefer
ences of their own, and then they have to con-
slider the wishes of the voters of the State.
AS Governor Lea intimates, the sentiment in
Delaware is favorable for Taft. We presume
there is no question that vast majority of the
Republicans of this State are for the Roosevelt
policies and the national administration.

This is commencement week at Delaware Col
lege which institution is finishing one of its most
prosperous years. Recently the junior class of
the college issued a most creditable annual,
showing the great activity among the students in
the way of organizations of all kinds. Some
good steady, hard work has been done in advanc-
ing the interests of the college, and old Delaware
is on the high road to success The affairs of the
college on the whole are well managed, the num-
Der of students is increasing and we fancy that
the alumni are more rejoioed than ever when
they return to Alma Mater and see how she has
been forging to the front.

Teachers Wages.

Mddletown Transcript.
The weary and care-worn school teacher
will soon be enjoying a few weeks of mucn
ieeded rest after a term Of eight or nine
months of tiresome mental and physical
labor. Many persons who have had no ex-
perience in the teaching line seem to
think that any common school teacher
whose wages are from S25 to $40 per month
ought TO make an independent fortune in
short time. Let such a one stop and con-
slider what is expected of a teacher. In the
hrst place she is expected to be well
dressed at all times. which is no small
Item OF expense. She is expected to buv
au the latest books. and subscribe for all
the popular educational journals of the
cay; attend teachers meetings whenever
ana wherever held. and to spend from
three to FIVE days at an institute. An
'nese requirements are attended by no
Sniaii expense, and the teachers who com
Ply with them will find at the close n.
mo year that they have a very small nor
ron OF their earnings to lay up for a
rainy day"
10 not understand by the above asser-
uons that such requirements are useless
Out When It has become almost absolutely
necessary for teacher TO attend all sucn
meetings as those who have supervision
over them shall appoint: It should be also
required OF the board of education and A.
rectors that they pay their teaebers .,,o,,
wages as VIII enable them to attend and
nave enough OF their earnings left to last

The Paint on the Letter Box.


New York Sun.
IL REQUIRED an astute and intelligent
bureaucrat in the Postofice Denart-
ment to discover that the public has
difiiculty in finding street letter boxes
because Of the unobtrusive green paint
with which these receplacles are COW
cred at present. The public itself has
not realized the difficulties under which
II labored in despatching its corre-
spondence. Several years ago the de-
partment experimental with a phos-
phorescent paint of 4 grayish hue
which was to make the boxes visible
at night from long distances Appar-
emily this excellent scheme fell through
but It is to be hoped that the contrac-
tors supplying the luminous paint did
not suffer seriously.
1t is not improbable that in COM
munities which cling to rec as the color
Tor their fire alarm boxes, the painting
OF letter boxes red will result in delay
ed alarms. unnecessary damage to
property, and possibly in loss Of life
In many towns the public has been
educated TO recognize in a red box on
the street fire alarm signal, and as
the loss of a minute Or so in calling
the department when a blaze is dis
covered often handicaps the firemen
seriously great injury may result from
using red on letter boxes.
If it is necessary or desirable that
letter boxes shall be particularly con-
spicuous thew might be equipped with
electric bells ringing at frequent inter-
walls in the dav time. and electric
lights to burn at night But what sane
person wants to make the letter boxes
a conspicuous and unavoidable incident
of the landscape. anyway

Taxation in Delaware.


Milford Chronicle.
The crying evil in taxation in Della
ware is the present method Of levying
school taxes. The towns are paying
double the taxes that the rural dis
tricts do, and they are compelled to re-
ceive the children from the rural dis
tricts into their schools for sum far
below what they are paying to educate
the children coming TO them. But the
people who have heretofore been most
bitter in their opposition to any change
In the methods of raising the school
taxes, will be surprised to learn of the
cute tricks practiced in some districts,
TO make the nonresident land holder
pay for building, or making improve
ments to the school houses.
In one instance we have learned Of
district composed of almost every
voter a renter, horses have been valued
at IS. COW at SO. and the rental value
slightly increased, with the result that
the renter pays but a small part of the
tax on his stock, while the non-resi-
dent land holder pays the bulk Of the
taxes.
This Is right from the renters stand
point OF view. for tie reason that he
should not be expected to assist in
building a school building in a district
from which ne may remove the fol-
lowing year; hence the land owner.
who has no vote In that district is
compelled 10 bear the cost Of buhiins
and repairs, although he may be un-
conscious of the true condition OF af-
fairs.
The school tax should be levied by
the Lew Court at a fixed sum for all
parts OF the county on each hundred
dollars OF assessment. and be paid out
70 each school according 70 tho num-

= A Fowl That Won a Battle.

A singular story is told Of gallant
cock whose moral influence at crit
ical moment during the battle OF St..
Vincent helped to save British man.
of-wnr from the hands of the enemy.
The fowl in question formed part Of
the live stock of the Marlborough, Il
vessel which had suffered 50 severely
that her captain was considering the
advisability Of striking his flag. The
ship was entirely dismastcd, while the
chief officers had been carried below
severely wounded, and the crew, with
out anybody to cheer them up, were
beginning to grow sullen under the
heavy fire of the enemy, to which they
were hardly able to respond. At this
emergency a shot struck the coop in
which the fowls were confined. The
only surviving occupant, a cock, find
ing himself at liberty, futtcrcd up
and pcrched himself on the stump Of
the mainmast and surveyed the scene
of carnage around him. Then, Tapping
his wings in defiance, ne began to crow
vociierously. He was answered by
three hearty and cXhilarating cheers
from the crew, who all had good
laugh and, with spirits thus renewed,
continued the action with a vigor
that lasted until turn in the battle
rescued them from their tight posi-

PASTOR SHEALY SURPRISED.
Council Meeting Ends in Pleasant
surprise-Newborry Passionate Re-
member Their Pastor.

TO the Editor. Herald and News:
With your permission | wish to say
that May the 28th, was a day long
to be remembered, especially by the
writer and his family. The day had
been appointed for meeting of the
joint council of the Newberry pastor
ate to be held at Mayer Memorial
church. But this was not all the ap-
pointment for the day. There was ga
trick' to be played OH the pastor and
his. family, yes, "a trick,' indeed.
AS the hour for the meeting appro-
ached the people of the pastorate be-
gan to gather at the parsonage with
baskets and packages of all shapes
and sizes. But it was not until the
business of the council was over that
the "trick' was fully made known.
A committee was appointed to place
a table in the long piazza of the par
sonagc. We then began to realize what
those baskets meant. Such dinner
can none prepare and serve better
than the good ladies' Of the Ncwbcrry
pastorate. After the large company
had eaten the table was still groanine
beneath its burden.
But this was not all the "trick. -
The pantry was well filled with flour,
meal. hams, lard, sugar, coffee, rice
fruits and many other nice things
which, | need not mention. Both the
house and the wood yard received
consideration.
Kind friends please accept the sim
cerc thanks of your humble pastor
and his family for these tokens of cs-
TEEN.
The occasion will never be forgotten
and will go down in the history Of
the Ncwbcrry pastoratc as a day Of
both pleasure and profit. May the
Lord bless the thoughtful and kind
hearted people.

address to the young folks in which
he laid stress upon the fact thai
young people should obey their par

so when they are old they can look
back over their past life with plea

DR.. Geo. B. Cromcr, Of Ncwbcrry,

lie selected as his subject, as he said,
one of the most beautiful and yet one
Of the saddcst passages in the Scrip
tures-Remember now thy Creator
in the days of thy youth. He said he
hardly knew who to cal old. Some are
old at 30 and others not until 60. He
laid stress on the fact that young men
could get knowledge but old men had
experience. The young cannot inherit
1t. The gulf stream of youth will
flow far into old age. He pointed a
great many lives Of men in history
who had done the most for their coun-
try and had given the very best ser
vice between the ages of so and 70.
Some of the great historians, poets,
statesmen and many leaders of our
country we're above 60 Before closing
his address he talked to the yousg
folks awhile. He said, we were not
respectful enough to old age. The
best steps. the noblest steps we take
are lead by the little child. The old
man always rcfreshcs himself by
memory visits to his youth.
This synopsis does not do justice to
the address as every one knows who
has ever heard DR.. Cromcr, that he is
one of the most instructive and most
eloquent speakers in the State. The
address was highly pleasing and en-
Joyed by every one present.
