 It has been suggested that the righs of "Old Pide" are being en- croached upon since so much land east of town is being fenced, and that fresh beef will be plentiful at the railroad cow-gap just below town.

 On last Sunday night at the Methodist church the children ren- dered most admirably a suitable and well-arranged program. Each one, from the little tot to the larg CT boys and girls, demonstrated the fact that they all had been we'll and patiently trained for the occasion. The choir rendered some excellent music.

 The Journal was a little late last week, owing to the fact that when we started the big press one of the fetchandtakeit rods gave way al- lowing the gilderfuke to fall and break as it struck the fukeflapper. This left the gangwalloper with only one jaytiapper to support it, which caused 1t to fall and break the wrapperchoke. This loosened the fuking in the gilderhuke and brought on more trouble. There is no truth in the report that we were boozy, the peeled appearance of our right eye being caused by our going into the press in our anxiety to start it and pulling the flukerod after the slapbung was broken, causing the f1amdinger to rise up and welt us on the optic.

ASKS FOR $2, 1000,
TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE

PHILADELPHIA, April lin an
open letter to Governor Stuart, the
health authorities of the State and the
Legislature, DIR. Lawrence r. Flick, di-
rector Of the Phipps Institute. asks for
which to wage war against the ravages
of the white plague. In this letter
he calls attention to the fact that there
were 10000 deaths from tuberculosis
during 1906, and says that probably
1900 persons will fall victims of the
disease this year unless the State
comes to the aid of those who are
fighting the plague.
In concluding his letter DR.. Flick
says:
Il appeal 20 you, gentlemen. in the
name Of humanity and OF the great
cause in which We are engaged. to
make provision for humane isolation of
the advanced cases to the full limit
Of our financial resources. Do not
waste time and money on new equip
ment so long as we have available
equipment at hand. The campaign
against tuberculosis in Pennsylvania
will be a short one if we use our re-
sources TO the best advantage. We
can win out first i'm the world contest
to stamp out tuberculosis If we will
work together with a single purpose
along the lines which science and ex-
perience have laid down. These are
the humane isolation Of the advanced
cases."

Unfortunately they rarely are. They lis

PATCH WORK IN GOOD ROADS.

a S net result of the agitation for good
roads i'll this county it seems that after
all to have a system of patchwork in the
making OF our good roads. When the county be-
gan road improvement a little work was done
here and there, some very bad roads which were
much travelled were improved, and altogether
we did about as well as could be expected. But
now the county is to start extensive road inn
provement and it is to be regretted that the
work is not TO be done in a manner that will
count the most.
The construction of good roads should be
managed according to a system. ANY improve
ment in the roads below the city should be the
building of State road Under the present hap
hazard plan-the plan that is to be followed
part OF the State highway will be improved and
part neglected. AS a consequence. although we
could have hne State road extending almost
the entire distance from Wilmington 10 the
county line in Blackbird hundred, we arc to have
merely patches OF good road here and there
Those influential in the Legislature were look
ing out for their own districts
The State road is used more than any other
highway and il is the one that should be improved
In Blackbird hundred, not to mention other dis
trcts, we have an example of patchwork in road
building. The money that has been expended
on a good road in that hundred has been prac-
ticay wasted as the road is placed in one of
the 'necks, in a remote part of the hundred
This money by all means should have been ex-
pended on The State road lust above the county
line at Duck Creek as that road is the most used
one in the district And the same NAV be said
of other districts in the county. We are to have
bits of good road and in many instances the
money might as well be thrown away. Personal
selhshness is chiefly responsible for this blum
derng in the construction of our good roads,
Near Wilmington the State road should be inn
proved and not the so-called river road along
the Delaware river. The county is TO be al
great cost in building good roads-and we
heartily approve of the cxpense,-but the inn
portant thing to do is to see that the money is
wisely expended where it will 10 the most good.
This city, of course, is greatly interested in
good roads throughout the county and the city
will bear very large share in the expense of
constructor. The best interests of the city in
this matter would undoubtedly be conserved If
the State road and not side roads were i'm
proved.

pacity we have always found Mr.. Melvin cour
teous and fair-minded and he has, in our iude-
ment worked for the best interests of the CITY
MI Melvin IN his remarks expressed his ap-
probation OF the courtesy shown him bv his feI-
low members Of the Board, and he reviewed in
brief the doings Of the Board II was with mar
oonaole pride that Mr.. Melvin referred to the
work that the department has accomplished. AMI
II may not be amiss to note, as he has done some
OF these deeds. A big feather in the cap of the
otreet and Sewer Directors was the installing of
paving plant and Mr.. Melvin calls attention 70
the tact that the directors by this plant have
saved the city in one branch almost $4,000
Mr. Melvin also mentioned other savings bv

tors should be commended We take pleasure
