SUSSEX BOASTS OF
IT'S BIG PORKERS

MILFORD, Dol, Dec. 1S-Along the
bayshore of tho First Representative
District Of Sussex county is located
the very best lands Of the county as
20 productiveness, case and comfort
of handling, with all the comforts of
fish, oysters and game, says the Chron-
icle. The good housewives grow the
finest poultry. and the grain crops are
always at or above the best This
condition naturally brings about a
prosperous and wide awake set of peo-
pie. They are not aiming at the alb
normal. but at the best general re-
suits in everything. They are building
better school houses and improving
others already better than in most dis
tricts. and they are awake TO the ad-
vantages OF good roads as well. But
tehs took grown in that district is a
large source of revenue. This week
Henry Clay Jones butchered a pen Of
five fat hogs which weighed SOL, 3S1,
SS7, 39S and 407 pounds. a total Of 1884
pounds. He says: IT know that this
is no large amount of meat for a large
family. If it is surpassed in Sussex
county. please let me hear from them" I"
The turkeys and poultry grown In this
section form a very handsome revenue
at the holiday season alone. not to
mention the egg and young poultry in
dustry during the entire year.

ROAD ENGINEERING IN SUSSEX.

A 4 its first meeting in January the Sussex
L n County Levy Court will elect a county
road engineer BY the act of the last Legisa-
ture the office of road overscer is abolished in
all the Legislative districts, and the new law
providing for a county engineer will 90 into
authority. He will appoint two supervisors of
roads in each legislative district and he will have
power to remove them for incompetence or ne
glect. All the road work in the county will be
under the direction OF the county engineer.
The Sussex Republican calls attention to the
new law and declares that it has no intimation of
what the court intends to do with regard to fill
ing this important position.
The work of road building in the county will
be revoutionzed under the law and the new
system should cause vast improvement. The
law requires that the county engineer shall be
a civil engineer and this is a very wise provi-
sion The Republican says that the Levy Court
should select competent engineer and should
not permit partisan politics TO enter into the mat
ter And this is true
What the people of the county want, or should
want above everything else, is competent en-
gineer for the position regardless of all other
considerations and the same holds true of the
appointment of the supervisors. If man is to
be named for county engineer because of his
political influence, or the votes he can deliver,
no improvement in road construction may be
expected. 1t may be that the Levy Court
will have to go outside the county 10 Sc
cure an engineer; thoroughly competent man,
one skilled in road building The roads of the
county should keep pace with the progress the
county IS making in other directions
1t may be hard for some of the old heads to
realize that county administration should be SIM
ply matter of plain business, that the people
should get dollars worth OF Improvements for
the dollar they give up in taxes. Nothing can
show better for county administration than
good roads.

II is announced that nineteen memo

three armored cruisers of the Atlantic
Fleet viii shortly arrive at New York. 10
be joined later by three scout cruisers,
making a ieet Of twenty-five ships--a
larger fleet by one than that which repre-
sented the United States at the Hudson
Fulton celebration, and this fleet is to
lie here during the Christmas holidays.
The complement Of these ships includes
more than 100 officers and men, and It is
expected that they will be paid Off short
~ after their arrival. They will receive,
IN the aggregate between $4,000 and $780,
900. And when sailors get their money
they DO not usually hide It under the big
guns or in their kits. They come ashore
with it, and make it ay.
Here IS a cheerful prospect for the shop
keepers and the purveyors OF amusemcnts.
But unless We miss our guess, the result
OF the sailors Christmas shore holiday in
New York will be very different from
whacit might have been hve or ten years
ago. in a word, they will not overcrowd
the Bowery, nor even that variously nam
ed region known in the cant phrase as the
New Tenderloin"-they win spend their
money rhuch like other civilized and SEN
sible huIhan beings, in a thousand shops
and places OF amusement--in dozens of
different rrilway trains and trolley cars
getting prttty nearly full value for their
money in he enjoyment which travellers
particularly find in this gllttering town
when they come looking at it with fresh
eyes. And when the visitors are conscious
Of that comfortable congestion OF the
purse which win be reduced quito soon
cnugh, their chances of having all kinds
Of fun in few days Of holiday making in
New York arc very much broadened.
What is there not to SEQ and enjoy in

LOWER PULLMAN RATES.

it would seem as for Pullman porter to reject
a tip after going through the motions of whisk-

reduced The action Of the company was not
voluntary II came about after conference be-
tween the State Board of Railroad Commission
ers of Kansas and the General Ticket Agent Of
the Pullman Company. Strange to say the Pull

bankruptcy because of this lowering Of rates.
The incident shows that State Railroad Com
missioners accomplish good. This reduction OF
rates might interest Delawareans somewhat we
have no State Railway Commissioners here and

THE MOTE AND THE BEAM.

"A NEW YORK magazine is continuing its
\ attacks on Mexico and the government
of Diaz. 1t declares that the Mexican method
of administering justice is a farce and fail
ure, nockery of republic. The magazine
says that there is slavery in Mexico at present ;
that there is barbarous political persecution
that there is imprisonment for free speaking and
a suppression of personal and political liberty.
No important opponent of Diaz is safe from po-
litica persecution.
Mexico according TO the article is trying to
extend its terrorizing hand across the border in
the United States-to shake hands with Phil
adelphia, we presume, because many of the
evils complained of in Mexico are practiced and
appauded in Philadelphia. Slavery in Mexico ;
white slavery in Philadelphia Barbarous politi-
cal persecution? Hasn't an editor, former Del
awarean, d. M. Pascoe, just been released from
Jail, convicted by packed jury and railroaded,
because he attacked through his paper one Of
the minions of the ring? Suppression of personal
and political liberty; Emma Goldman has been
speaking every week and some times several
times a week, in New York and other cities, and
yet an ignorant police official in Philadelphia
suppressed the woman. Ask any one in Phil
adelphia who is familiar with political conditions
there, and the questioner will learn OF political
persecution equal to that of Mexico. Indeed
what a mockery make of it, bemoanng
the mote that is in our brothers eye and ignor-
ing the beam in our own.

CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect of Their Warm Drink in the
Morning.

"A year ago I was a wreck from cof-
fee drinking and was on the point of
giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
L was telling a friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a
comfort to have something we can en-
joy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the chill
dren and adults showed that to be a
fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so flat that I was in despair,
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
lions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. 1t was a decid-
ed success and I was completely won
by its rich, delicious flavor. In a short
time l noticed a decided improvement in
my condition and kept growing better
and better month after month, until
now. 1 am perfectly healthy, and do
my work in the school room with ease
and pleasure. / would not return to

TAFT IN SACRAM ENT0.
Continued from Page 1.

Mr. Taft thoroughly enjoyed his day
On the train. He read a little, lounged
about the car, played a friendly game
OF bridge" with members of his party,
and during the five or six hours Mount
Shasta was in sight admired that tower
ing peak in all the changing aspects the
winding railroad brought to view. Shas-
"a was really the first Of the show
mountains of the west that the Presi-
dent had seen on this trip.
When he was in Colorado, Pixies peak
was hidden in a cloud bank. During
the two days he was in Seattle the
weather was cold and gray and the
peak, which is known on the Seattle
side as Mount Ranier and on the TacO-
ma side as Mount Tacoma, was no
where to be seen. Many panoramic pic
stures Of Portland, Ore, show snow
capped Mount Hood ''on guard" in the
background, but while the President
was in the city the atmospheric con-
Hditions were not just right. Mr.. Taft
liaughingly declared in Portland that
after several visits both TO Seattle and
70 Portland he was prepared to ques-
.tion the existence Of any such noun
tains as Rainier and Hood.
After spending tomorrow IN San
Francisco, President Tart heads for the
Yosemite valley and is hooking forward
20 that feature of his trip with the
+ greatest pleasure. He has never been
among the giant old trees in the val
ley. which are said to be the oldest liv-
ing things in the world. Mr.. Taft has
been warned that the dust going into
and coming out of the park this time of
the year is fairly suffocating. but his
enthusiasm in the trip has not been in
the least diminished. Special khaki out
fits will be procured by the President
and his party for the three days trip
Welcomed to California.
President Taft was welcomed into Cal
ifOrnia at Red Bluff by Governor Gill
lett, Lieutenant Governor Porter, Sena-
tor Perkins, former Secretary of the
Navy Victor Metcalf, NJ. H De Young
of San Francisco and other members of
a committee gathered from different

fion.
