FAMOUS LUNCHEONS
EXPECTED TO PASS
Taft Who Eats Only An Apple at Noon, Probably
viii Discontinue Roosevelt Institution That
Has Become Celebrated

One innovation which may be eX-
pected when Air. Taft gets into office
will relate to the afternoon luncheon
1t is predicted in weIl-infOrmed quar-
tiers that this Will be abolished, 50 FAR
as the President himself is concerned.
This is for the very good reason that
Mr. Taft either doesn't lunch at all or
eats only an apple.
1t is President ROoseVelts custom 10
work in his office until 40 IN me
afternoon or little later. Then he
eats a good. square meal. These lunch
cons at the White House have become
notable in the Roosevelt regime The
President has a great hankerlng 10
meet people who have information on
their persons and talk with them. I
In this way, he gathers up an I'M
mense amount Of information In the
course Of his nearly eight years as
President he has entertained thousands
of persons Of more or less distinction
and public interest at the lunch table
and has had a bully time talking
over everything in the world with them
from pugilism to the higher criticism
Now. all this will change. Mr. tart
has not said so, but now VIII IL De

HERE IS A rowN WITH CASH.

a CCORDING to the Pilot the town fnan-
ces of Lewes are in splendid condition.
The commissioners have cash balance of two
thousand dollars and the Board of Public Works
has a balance of more than 5000 while several
hundred dollars are involved in the beach litiga-
ton. Many Of the citizens says the Pilot, think
that this surplus should go into the sinking fund
for the payment of town bonds; others desire to
use the money for town Improvements. Then
there are suggestions that the money be used
for the purpose of inducing industries to locate
in Lewes
The residents of that town should feel very
good over such satisfactory financial state
ment Larger cities tell different story Prac-
ticay all of them are complaining of a lack OF
money Philadelphia hears a cry OF distress.
In Wilmington it seems that shortness of city
cash is so chronic that it is accepted as a matter
of course.
In most of the Delaware towns the situation,
we believe is similar to that of Lewes. Here
and there there may be an exception, but the
Iewes story is the general one. 1t seems that
the towns are fortunate in getting good men to
serve as town commissioners. These men are
in close touch with the citizens, and If they do
not manage the affairs of the town properly they
are soon ousted from Office
We have no idea what is particularly needed
in Lewes in the way of town Improvement but
it would seem that the affairs OF the town are so
well managed that the money could be used tor
promoting and advancing Lewes. Some OF the
other Delaware towns are concerning thenl-

her surplus cash The advertising suggestion
might not be bad one. Lewes has many at
fractions both as a place of residence and a town
for business.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. April 12--The tariff bill

reported to the Senate by Senator Aldrich
Immediately after the reading OF the jour-
nal was concluded in the Senate to-day.
Mr. Aldrlch said that It was a report
from the majority Of the committee to
which the minority members dlssented.
In presenting it, he accompanied it with
the request that when the Senate adjourn
ed to-day, it should be to meet on Thurs
day. This was in order to give the Demo-
cratic Senators generally, who are not
members of the finance committee. an op-
portunity TO acquaint themselves with the
provisions Of the measure.
Senators Daniel. Bacon. Bailey and Cul-
berson, OF the Democrats took occasion to
register their protest against the fact that
the minority members Of committee had
had no chance to examine the bill, nor
TO listen to the expert statements of Wit
nesses on the several schedules.
Mr.. Aldrich said that having in view the
interests Of the country which demanded
quick action on the tariff. the majority
members had concluded, that It would be
much better TO have discussion take place
on the floor. rather than I'm committee.
The Senate adjourned till Thursday,
when Chairman Aldrich. of the committee,

money at present expended. Several state
ments from those high in authority have
set others thinking. and now there is a
gradually growing feeling, that changes
can, and should be made. which win give
TO the boys and girls better opportunities
for their school years. Probably the first
to voice this sentiment in lower Delaware,
is Robert G. Houston in his paper. the Re-
publican. OF Georgetown. Evidently he Is
receiving criticism for his advanced po-
sltion. as his editorial of last week, takes
up the defense Of his attitude. We are sure
that there is room for radical changes in
our public school methods; both in the
financial system. and in the educational
plan If no other changes we're made there
should be manual training and commercial
courses added to every high school Of the
first grade in the State.
