In the change just established in the

gagged I'm the prosecution of his trade

A DEPLoRABLE ACCIDENT.

II HE accident that happened on the Kennett
= Turnpike on Saturday, was so deplorablc
that words almost fail to describe II. Two we'll
known citizens were riding along the turnpike
with no thought of danger when suddenly they
were hurled within an ace of eternity. They
were in no way at fault, but were simply exer-
cising their rights in using the turnpike under
the assumption that they were free of ordinary
danger The sympathy of this community goes
out to DR. Green and Mr.. Wilson and their
families and friends in their awful afAiction.
We note that the Turnpike Company is to
make a rigid investigation as 1t should do be-
cause question may arise as TO how far the
company is responsible for the ordinary safety
OF persons using the road. But the nvestiga-
tion should not stop there. The county author
ities and State officials should thoroughly probe
the matter and fix the responsibility if there is
any direct responsibility
This sad and deDlorable accident should be
a solemn warning to those automobiists
inclined to be reckless. Happily we have not
had many accidents-due more to good luck than
drivers in this community, men who dash around
corners and apparently enjoy the so-called fun
of seeing how close they can come to pedes-
trian without hitting him For these reckless
persons all users OF automobiles are more or less
blamed though such blame is not theirs.
This accident should engage the attention OF
the Automobile Association and the Association
should do its utmost TO urge users of motor cars
to exercise the greatest care in times of dam
ger And the accident should deeply impress
upon the authorities the urgent necessity of en-
forcing all laws with regard TO the use OF auto
mobiles We do not want the lives of such es-
tmable people as DR. Charles Green and County
Engineer lanes Wilson imperilled in such mans

Leafy boughs over thee, joyous in play

DELAwARE's VOTE ON PAPER.

GENATOR Dupont seems to have been be-
- witched by Senator Aldrich into voting
for high tariff on paper Nh p}.l We wish
that some of the interest which Senator DUPONT
showed for the farmers by his proposal to ad-
vance the tariff on potatoes had been manifested
for the users of paper in his own State, who are
at the mercy of trust Of business brgands.
The methods of this trust were fully ventilated
before the committee of the lower house of Con-
gress OF course, it is clear why the New Eng
land Senators stuck up for the trust of paper
makers who have their mills in that territory.
There is little doubt that if the paper max
ers get what they want, the price Of paper will
be advanced. 1t was only because OF the extra
ordinary efforts of the uses of paper that adj
ditiona advance was halted during the past
yeai.
Senator Richardson was not present when the
vote was taken, but we fancy that Mr.. Richard
sons journey into Canada may have been for
the purpose of making personal investigation
into the Canadian pulp and paper mills I'm
fortunately he did not return TO Washington in
time to give to the Senate the information that
he had learned.

A VIEW OF THE SENATE.

G ONE time ago an important case involving
- large sums and many interests came be-
fore the Federal Court in this city. Attorneys
were there In force among them, Mr. Root, the
present Senator from New York State Judge
Bradford, according TO newspaper men who
were present, looked around the room during
the consideration OF the case and calmly asked
If there was any attorney present representing
the small stockholders. Mr.. Root and the other
big corporation lawyers, stammered and seemed
embarrassed, but there appeared to be no at
torney for the smaller stockholders.
If some visitor should happen to look in upon
the United States Senate these DAYS he might
be tempted TO ask who is there representing the
small stockholders in our governnent-the
people.
He might have to strain his eyes 10 discover
any considerable number of representatives of
the small stockholder, although there are a few
such representatives there. If he stayed in the
Senate chamber long he might become thor
oughy convinced that the trusts, the big cor
porations, the rich men of the country the preda-
tory interests are thoroughly and ably repre-
sented. He might suspect that the ordinary
man, the average citizen, is about as much out
of place IN the Senate. either in person or by
proxy, as he would be in the board OF directors
of the Chemical Bank Of New York
One thing that might strike him is the pitablc
spectacle that the Democrats are making Bailey

all important matters in league with Aldrich

emily no ties upon the Texas Senator Aldrich

remainder Of the Democrats spend most of the
time quarreling among themselves. In fact, the
only contests OF moment are waged among the
Republicans in which considerable number of
really brilliant men are trying TO wriggle from
under the Aldrich lash
Adrich is typical representative of the rich
men, the monopolists and the predatory inter
ests of the country. He looks like boss and he
is boss. Other Senators cover and quail be-
fore him. He rides ruthlessly over the work
of the House on the tariff bill, de6es the senti-
ment OF the country, and boldly stands forth as
defender of these swollen purses and the hauty
domineering and nsolent spirit in this country
which assumes that our government was created
for the benefit of class that must enjoy spe-
ciai privilege. II Aldrch has his way there will
be no revision of the tariff downward, but rather
upward to serve the selfish interests that Aldrich
represents in the Senate

DR.. II. G. Becker, Of Beeville, Texas

Army Worm.

Dover Republican.
Each and every separate kind Of
weather encourages the multiplication
of its own particular kind of insects
The long spell of excessive rains and
cloudy weather has given us several
kinds Of plant lice and other insects.
The army worm may come at any time
and in any weather and it has come
now in spots in this county, and IS
reported from other parts Of the Del
aware and Chesapeake peninsula. This
worm eats the clover and other plants
in a wheat field and strips the leaves
off from the wheat stems. It also
makes a pretty clean sweep of timothy
and clover. The remedy Is to plow
a furrow and II the far side is made
perpendicular the worms cannot read
lily climb up this side. and holes may
be dug every two or three rods and
the worms win crawl into these holes
where they may be killed. In some
instances straw may be spread in the
path of the advancing worms and
when filled with the worms it can be
/ burned.

faded away as a mist, and disap-

As we stood In the court room on
Tuesday and witnessed that most im-
pressive ceremony wherein the new
judiciary took the oath Of office, We
felt that the Governor had indeed
shown extraordinary wisdom in his
selection of the men to administer
judicial functions. and that he had
fully preserved the high standard set
by our ancestors. Delaware has been
famed. not only for its strong bar. but
for its exceptionally able bench. and
In the new order of things. the rule

Individually and collectively, It is an
able bench, and we extend to Governor
Pennewill our hearty commentator

RECIPE FOR REAL TROUBLE.
CheerfuIIy Contributed to an Already
Unhappy World.

Trouble making is an older industry
than the manufacture Of steel. Cain,
the trouble maker, got into action be-
fore Tubal Cain, the iron worker;
and Eve got Adam into hot water long
before the Boiler Makers union began
business.
There are three kinds of trouble
imaginary, borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists Of rail
road accidents, earthquakes, fires, sui
cides, the poorhouse, death, and the
grave, carefully mixed and taken
after a late dinner, or a drop in the
stock market.
Borrowed trouble is the kind we gel
from our relatives. Its principal in
gradients are visits, borrowed money
birthday presents, advice and expecta

they were going to fall OF, SO we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
