Editorial Opinion
Good Men For OFFICES.

Dover Sentinel.
There spever was time in the his
tory of Delaware when the people
were moe in earnest than now to
nominate and elect good men to office
This is especially true as relates to
members of the legislature and of the
levy courts. This is the talk that is
heard everywhere, at least among
Republicans, from the humblest voter
to the real leaders of the people, The
other day a citizen of Sussex county
approached Senator DUPONT and said,
Senator, we want you to go back to
the Senate for another term" Sem
ator DUPONT replied, What the people
want to do is to select the very best
men in the community, the most intel
ligent and the most honest men for
the legislature, and for all public
places, and all the rest will take care
of itself" The people believe so too,
and they are looking around for men
who are willing to sacrivce their
time and business interests for the
sake of the public good. It has be-
come a joke to speak of men who are
willing to give up private interests to
serve the people in Congress or IN
other prominent positions What is
now to be sought is to secure men of
great business capacity and genuine
honesty who are willing to devote
time and thought to good legislation
and good county management without
hope of any adequate reward except
the reward that comes from duty we'll
done for the good of others There
are many men of this kind. They are
not in politics. They are not street.
corner statesmen. They are active,
striving, pushing, successful business
men, who are every day doing somes
thing to make this a betterplace to
live in not taking advantage Of the
weaker brother in trade, but living
square deal" This is the year to
seek and find them.

POSTAL BANKS.


n is stated from Washington that the expert
4 ment of postal savings banks will be made
in several eastern cities next autumn Banks will
be from time to time established in the west, and
il is thought that when the system is in full oper-
alton thousands of boarded dollars will find their
way into the government banks.
II is not expected that the regular banks will be
rterfered with. Postal banks not supposed
to be needed in this State considering the fact that
Delaware has not had bank failure. Our imam
cial institutions are in excellent condition. But
despite this considerable money is boarded in
Delaware which might End its way into circua-
ton through the channel of the postal bank.
What is it the new postae savings oank law
aims TO do?" is the question asked by the man IN
the street.
The new law is designated to encourage the saw
ing Of small sums in the custody OF the United
States government upon which a small interest =
paid.
Absolute security Of the savings and faciliJ in
banking them are the advantages held cut ny the
plan The faith Of the United States" is expressly
pledged as se@urity for their return
se1aBsFeAftts are tosbe designated as repositories,
ANY person above the age Of ten years may become
a depostor.
Amounts Of ST or multiples thereof may be
deposited the postmaster issuing passbook. The
aa~osts draw per cent interest and may be with
drawn at any time.
For 10 cents a deposition may purchase a postal
savings card, TO which may be attached specially
prepared stamps When ninety cents worth OF
these stamps are attached the card may be pre-
sente at a postoice to open an account for Sl,
What does the government do with the money
thus accumuated?" is naturally the next ques
ton
Sixty-hve per cent. of the funds thus accumu-
lated may be deposited in the banks Of the locality
where deposited, subject to strict regulations and
ample security. Thirty per cent shall be invested
in government bonds and 5 per cent retained as
reserve fund. The banks shall pay to the gov
eminent interest at the rate Of 2 l-5 per cent for
the use Of the money. In time Of war the Presi-
dent can invest all the funds in bonds.
Thus the money accumulated by the thrift Of
the community is retained in the community, to
the extent Of 65 per cent. and put into channels
of trade and industry.

The table is to be made amply long
SO that 1t will not be crowded, and
spread with a protecting pad, and an
immaculate cloth, smooth and shin
ing. Silver and glassware are to be
secured and polished and the china
treated to the same freshening proc
ess, until everything shines. Lay a
dinner napkin at each place and pro-
ceed to decorate the table.
A centerpiece is to be provided. A
very handsome one is made of bolt
of No. 80 red satin ribbon. Two
lengths of this, each III yards long,
are crossed at the middle of the table,
lying fiat and the ends extending
toward the corners of the table. In
the center an ornamental fern dish
Is fashioned of the ribbon about
plain fern dish.
The ribbon is made into standing
looms. each about six inches in length
These are placed in a row about the
dish with the loops outstanding. The
dish used may be an ordinary milk
nan previously covered with red pa
ner in crepe or tissue. Fill the pan
with moss or sand. In the center
stand miniature Christmas tree,
natural baby tree If possible. Deco
rate the miniature tree with tiny can
dies and the smallest of red tinsei
balls. The candles are not to De
lighted. Place few decorations and
have them all in miniature. The effect
Is charming.
Another pretty center piece is made
with five ordinary tin candlesticks,
supporting five red or white candles.
Set one of these on an inverted paste
board box in the center of the table
and the four remaining candles one
at each corner of the box, on the table.
Use small box, not larger than the
bottom of the candlestick. Cover the
candlesticks and the box with sprays

The shades are very easily made by

is also fine as an aid in carrying out
the Christmas color scheme. Triangu-

on the bread and butter plates gives
an additional little finishing touch.
When the silver is laid and the wa
ter glasses placed. small spray OF
holly for the buttonhole or corsage Is
to be placed for each person at the
table. 1t rests on the napkins.
In order that the candles may last
out the dinner It is as well to postpone
lighting them until the dessert is serv-
ed. other lights may be turned lower
at this time. The effect OF glowing
candles is very inspiring to the guests.
Often the Christmas dinner must be
served in the early afternoon. If arti-
ficial lights are desired the hostess
must darken the dining room. But
there are pretty decorations from
which candle light is omitted. The
center piece for such a table may rep
resent any familiar winter or Christ
mas scene. One may buy. at a trifing
cost, a Santa Claus. on a chimney top,
about to descend. These are made OF

the confectionery there are all sorts
of Christmas pieces in the form of
large candy boxes. Santa Claus and
his reindeers are fine for the center

by little pieces of tinsel also After
YOU once get to work the thing will
grow under your hands and you will
be enthusiastic at the end. When all
is finished the Christmas table justi-

the play is indeed worth the candle.
If one must count expenses careful

the salvation OF our workaday world.
The dining room is the heart of the
house and its great day is Christmas
day. 1t is really very little trouble to

and dressing the table cannot be

The dining room must be entirely
