THE JOY IN A THRILL.

n I the opening of the indianapolis automobile
\ speedway the other day two who
took part in the races were killed They were
going at the rate OF eighty miles hour when
the accident happened. The affair seems 10
have thrown only temporary damper on the
sport, because the crowd at the trials yesterday
was greater and more animated than the
previous day.
The multitude was eager for the excitement
of the races. What mattered it if several. were
killed and if there was a probability that more
lives might be sacrificed by the speed frenzied
drivers. If there should be more excitement Of
that kind the spectators would be on hand to
witness anything that might happen.
A few deaths do not cool the ardor of those
who are devoted to the motor sport There IS
a thrill in the danger, and that is what many
people are looking for these days the
stage, in the newspapers, at the circus and in
sports of many kinds And the real thrill IS
better than a stage thrill to them. They may
sigh and sympathize and then be ready for an
other thrill and a new danger.
The motor car races give the real thrill
People used to amuse themselves in some Of
the western towns by having two railroad engines
crash together on the track as a spectacle
They would gather for miles TO see it. But that
is tame sort of sport as compared with the ex-
citement of the automobile hers on fast speed
ways.
The only disappointment to the thrill seekers
is that accidents do not always happen but with
the increase Of speedways and the devotion to the
sport of automobiling the sensation hunters will
stand good chance of seeing someone killed, or
at least manned, at every meeting. The old
railroad crash will be entirely ont Of date in few
wears or it must be changed Those who used
to be satisfied with the crash of engines will want
to see a crash of engines with cars filled with
people
The pleasure of thrill is inborn with many
people We have not yet come to bull fighting
sI..- ,-fu that dc thrill
down the Latin spine, but we shall satisfy our
hunger for excitement with automobile racing,
and il we live long enough, with airship racing
and perils. Danger has a charm for the many,
and there will be hugs and kisses for the auto
mobile driver who goes around the track at a
hundred miles an hour or so. There will be or
should be pasolene IIobsons and the man with
the goggles or the man up in the air will make
the naval heroes who are so few and far between
feehnot even so good as a new Lincoln penny.

How things have changed during the past few
years. The Chester Times the other day had an
editorial article jabbing the colony of Single
Takers and other reformers at Arden, the pretty
home of those of free mind along the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad few miles above this city.
And not letter to the Times in reply. In the
days of few years ago the Times would have
been lucky had it escaped with bushel or so Of
replies for the Single Takers and social reformers
used to like to pull the verbal trigger on the
editors. Perhaps the Single Takers, the Social
lists and the philosophical Anarchists" dwelling
in peace and harmony while the old and wicked
world goes on in its convulsions of selhshness,
are too busy enjoying the delights of life void or
supposed TO be void of care 10 set the reformatory
syndicate Of letter writers in motion. And what
of it, If they seek recreation from mental
toll in sports? The reformers could not always

THOUGHT 1T
WAS HIS END

An old man in Georgia named Jack
Baldwin, having lost his hat in an
old. dry we'll one day, hitched a rope
to stump and let himself down. A
wicked wag named Neal came along
just then, says the Kansas City Inde-
pendent. and quietly detached a bell
from Baldwln's old blind horse. ap-
preached the well. bell in hand, and be-
gan to ting-a-lng.
Jack thought the old horse was COM
ing and said: Hang the old blind
horse! He's coming this way, sure;
he amt got no more sense than TO
fall in on me. Whoa, Bali"
The sound came closer.
Great Jerusalem! The old blind fool
will no right on top Of me in minitl
Whoa. Ball. Whoa. haw Balll"
Neal kicked a little dirt on Jacks
head and Jack began to pray:
"Oh. Lord. have mercy on-whoa-
Balli-Our Father who art in--whoa,
Ball-hallowed be Thy-gee. Ball. gee!
Whatll 7 do? Now I lay me down to
sl-gee. Bali" Just then in fell more
dirt. "Oh. Lord. if you ever intend to
do anything for me--back. BAN
Whoa-Thy kingdom come-gee. Bali
oh, Lord You know I was baptized in
Smiths mill dam-whoa. Ball, II upl

Neal could hold in no longer and
shouted a laugh which might have been
heard two miles. which was about as
far as Jack chased him when he got
out.

THE SMYRNA BOAT LINE.

IT. He Smyrna Times calls attention TO the pro-
/ posed sale of the steamboat line and equip
ment which has been operating for many years
between that town and Philadelphia. There
seems to be some fear that the boat may be pur-
chased by persons who will discontinue its er-
vice between Smyrna and Philadelphia. This
would leave that part OF the state without steamer
communication with Philadelphia The owners
OF the boat are outsiders. They would, we
understand, be willing to sell the steamer to a
local company. Ii occurs to us that the people
about Smyrna should take steps to prevent any
thing that might lead TO a withdrawal OF the
steamer service. For many years the farmers
and others in Blackbrd and Duck Greek Hun
dreds and in other districts have had the advan-
tage OF water communication At times there
have been two boats plying between Smyrna and
Philadelphia
A good opportunity is open for live and ener-
getic steamboat men TO purchase the equipment
OF the transportation company now owning the
boat. During the last few years the government
has spent considerable money in improving
Smyrna river and the water way is much better
than it ever was. Captain A. F. Jardine who
was until recently manager of the transportation
company, but who has accepted place in another
field, was very active in securing this improve
ment of the river.
Some of the boat lines connecting towns in
the lower part of the state with Philadelphia
have been profitable investments They are GER
fainly great convenience to the people in pass
enger and freight service The Smyrna line
draws from one Of the best territories in the
state. 1t covers large field including northern
Kent county and lower New Castle county In
the circumstances therefore, we do not think 4
probable that the boat service will be discon-

WORKING TOGETHER.

OUCH meetings as that between Mr. Kingston,
- Division Freight Agent of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and the committee repre-
sentine the farmers organizations cannot be pro-
ductive of anything but good. The question of
freight rates was gone over in an amicable man
ner, and some points that have been IN dispute
were cleared up.
Mr. Kingston explained some Of the n,ricacies
OF railroad management as regards freight rates,
and the committee pressed its point Of asking for
lower rates. That is what the farmers are trying
to get. They think that the rates on the trans
portation of some produce, such as potatoes, are
too> high That is the one thing they have in
mind from their point of view
They believe that il lower rate on potatoes,
for example, were secured, such concession
would be a stimulus to potato culture on the
peninsula. AS compared with wheat and some
other products, the potato rate does seem high
sul On the othcf hand, the company explains that
there IS no discrimination against Delaware grow
ers that rates may be lower where there IS water
competition, as is the custom of railroad COM
panies in meeting such competition AS we
understand it, the rate on potatoes and other
articles is general classification rate fixed by the
trunk line association, and the entire association
would have to agree to a discriminating rate in
favor Of Delaware if the request OF the Delaware
farmers should be granted 1t works as wheel
within wheel
lust how the company could get around trathc
agreements so that lower rates for Delaware
could be secured is a question: but the interest
OF the company in the development OF Delaware
is such that we should not be surprised II an
earnest effort were to be made to secure lower
rates. At all events, il the officials of the COM
pany work together in this matter with the far
mers we have no doubt that we shall have results
that will be mutually beneficial. Let all work
hand in hand.

The Pope and Or. Eliot.

New York Evening Mall.
Pope Plus X. has signided his intention
OF making a formal reply to DR.. Charles
w. Eliots recent address on THE Re
liglon Of the Future"
Everybody will await tlw popes re-
sponse with keen interest. Yet in ad-
vance, wonder may be expressed that the
pope should find any ground in Dr. Eliots
paper upon which to rest anything like a
discussion.
The church's point OF view, and the
Harvard emeritus presidents are as wide
apart as the hghting ground Of the eagle
ana Of Leviathan. How can the teeth OF
one be made to touch the talons OF the
othor7
For this is what the church says:
There can be no religion without au-
thority.
There can be no religion without the
sacraments.
And this Is what Or. Eliot says:
The now religion will not be based upon
authority. either spiritual or temporal.
The new religion win admit no sacra-
ments.
Can the protagonsts OF such opinions do
/ aught but meet, and stand erect in their
diverse strength, and pass and go their
waysG
We shall know, when the pope speaks
In the meantime, the mere juxtapositior
Of their opposite declarations is deeply
suggestive. It reduces an ancient contro.
versy to its simplest terms
With all who profess and feel religion
a mighty advantage rests with the side oi
the pope. Religion is an expression OF q
wish to turn from that which Is human
and sorrowful and failible to that which Il
divine, and consequently authoritative II
is the expression OF the ultimate awe ir
the presence Of the ultimate mystery
and that awe is itself sacramental Re
ligion Is not thought so much as it Il
feeling; and In the realm Of feeling, wha
are rational reinements7
Religion is divine perfection. omnis
cience and omnpotence ranged agains
human imperfeotion, Ignorance and i'm
potence. Even II the divine be but dream
Il is still the essence OF religion
So in such a controversy as is proposed
the victory, by very necessity, must res
in advance with the pope.
