1t was with deep regret that we
learned, while away on our vacation,
Of the death of our esteemed fellow
citizen, George W. Taylor. Identified
with the business, social and relig-
ious life of Smyrna where he spent
nearly all Of the years of his life,
he was one of those citizens whose
examples and precepts might we'll be
emulated by the younger generation.
He died as he had lived-a Christian.
A man of many talents, a master
mechanic and a useful citizen, his
place will be hard to fill. His life
was pure and wholesome-an open
book-and Smyrna can i'll afford to
lose such citizens. Our sympathy is
with the widow and children in their
bereavement. They have lost a good
husband and father and the commun-
ity a useful and esteemed citizen.

HEREIN LIES A
GRAVE DANGER
LET KENT TEMPERANCE
VOTERS AWAKEN

The policy of The Anti-Saloon
League will be to secure wherever
possible satisfactory legislative
nominations at the hands of both
parties. Succeeding, the League will
then be "hands off. - Failing, the
League will endeavor to elect in
every district satisfactory Repub-
lican against an unsatisfactory Dem
ocrat, or a satisfactory Democrat
against an unsatisfactory Republican,
as the case may be.
The League knows no party but it
will accept victory at the hands of
either or both parties.
We thank you for your patient
reading of this important message.
We have faith to believe you will
be true to our common Cause.
Yours very truly,
The'Anti Saloon League of Delaware,
E. L. Hoffecker, President.

The farm value Of the corn crop
of the United States is 81, 72G. 900, 900
1t is now definitely known through
the soil surveys with which l have
the honor to be connected, what are
the best corn soils in different parts
Of the country. Not all of the best
corn soils are producing to anything
like their fullest capacity, for lack
of capital and intelligent direction
of labor. Much of the corn crop IS
grown on soil adapted to other crops,
and on which thereis little chance Of
commercial success with corn. On
the best corn soils the yields could
be largely increased with better
equipment and intelligent control of
'ahr and with proper control of
.aOor capital could safely be
invested to provide the necessary
equipment. The investments should
be made only in consideration of
certain obligations capable of en-
forcement under penalty if the
proper agricultural methods are not
followed. Such help could be ex-
tended wherever soils are particular
ly adapted to any of the important
crops under suitable restrictions and
direction, and wherever the labor
ii. e., the farmers) is desirous of
benefiting by the use of both capital
and intelligent directive control

Kent County should elect majority
of "dry" Legislators.
Now is the time to be busy. The
primaries are rapidly approaching; /;
Nominating conventions are near at
hand; delegates to the same are
being selected. Legislative candi-
dates are aready announcing them
selves. Some liquor Estates" have
been fixed up and need to lie broken
by temperance voters. If the tenn
perance vote in the county fails to
assert itself at once in every district,
there will be nobody to blame but
temperance voters, if "wet" legis-
lators are in majority and force
resubmission upon the county.

Pertinent to the subject of good
roads, and we are heartily in favor
of them, the Milford Chronicle
points out where both Kent and
Sussex Counties can secure much
more than they are doing now. The
Chronicle says: We want every tax
payer to think over the matter of
taxes now paid for road building
and road repairs in both Kent and
Sussex counties. In Sussex County
several districts are paying a special
road tax of twenty cents on the huE-
dred dollars, districts are paying ten
cents and all for this special tax for
improving the roads. We do not
know just what the exact amount
of the money is, which is raised in
Sussex county for this purpose, but
it has been stated that over fifty
thousand dollars is annually raised
for the roads and highways of the
county each year in this county. In
Kent the amount is only five cents
on the hundred dollars of valuation,
for good road purposes, and this
raises close to ten thousand each
year. The amount of the money
now paid for this purpose, and
which is generally expended without
capable engineering direction, is
largely failing TO bring the best re-
suits as to road making. and would
pay the interest at four per cent on
a loan of shalf a million dollars for
Sussex county, and nearly three nun
dred thousand dollars in Kent county
with which the country could build
under first class engineering ability,
the best OF roads. This would be
economy and comfort for the tax
payers now living. For our part,
we will not get much pleasure out of
roads built after life has ceased,
and it is the living present which
should provide and enjoy the benefit
of good roads now. >

THIS IS A VERY
VITAL QUESTION

Three favorable Senators and six
favorable Representatives are neces-
sary to Resubmission. Upon their
petition it must come to pass. There
are two hold-over Senators in the
County, Senators Anderson and
Shelldrake. We believe we speak
accurately oncerning their attitude
upon Resubmission when we say that
they are both against it. This being
true, the hope of Kent County tenn
perance voters is in the election of
safe Senators in the First, Third
and Fifth Senatorial Districts, who,
no matter their party, will stand
against Resubmission without fear
of political dictation or other utter
ior influence. The House is, of
course, important, and should be
given equally careful attention.
1t is not too late to ask that both
dominant political parties nominate
"dry" men for Senate and House in
each and every District-neither is
it too much to ask. In fact. if nee
essary, Kent temperance voters are
in position to demand such nomi-
nations. If the 1872 majority
against the saloon in the county in
1907 means anything, it certainly
means this much. Furthermore,
Delaware temperance interests re-
quire additional enforcement legisla-
tion to be obtained at Dover next
winter. All the more reason why

A WARNING

to every Kent County Temperance
Voter. The Delaware Liquor inter-
ests, strongly federated, exceedingly
virdictive, are not satisfied with
present conditions in Kent County.
They want Re-Submission for that
County, and they will endeavor to
get it from the next Legislature
if possible. This is no idle dream.
1t is plain, cold fact, and needs to
be seriously considered by everybody
in the County who is opposed to the
open saloon. The liquor men are not
without resources in Kent County.
Liquor agents are even now busy in
every Representative and Senatorial
District. There are three Senators
and ten Representatives to be
chosen this year in the County. and it
will be the endeavor of the "wets"
to elect a majority of them. Shall
they be permitted to do so?

EX-CONVICT HOMESICK
FOR OLD PRISON LIFE
Begs Paris Police Commissary
to Send Him Back

PARIS, JUNE 1.-THE commiSSary OF
police of the F'aubourg Montmartre
quarter was astonished the other night
when a man looking weak and hungry,
who pretended he had important COM
munication to make, threw himself on
his knees on getting into the commits
sary's office, and after saying he was
an eX-convict, with tears in his eyes
implored the commissary to send him
back to La Guyane.
The magistrate first thought he had
to deal with lunatic, but it was not
the case. His papers and documents
proved that he was a real eX-convict
named Pierre Fanahr, and he told the
commmissary his story.
After having undergone punish
ment of twenty years penal servitude,
Fanahr was set at liberty a few
months ago, and returned to Paris with
the sum of $3.50, with which he expect
ed to start new life. But not all the
thieves are in Jail. He made the ac-
quaintance of two individuals, to
whom he told his project and who stole
his money. For several days he had
been wandering through the streets.
No one would trust him or give him
work

said. 81 have friends there, and in

do not want to commit any crime or
robbery, but please do send me back"

the duped ex-convict to ask chari-
table society to find work for him.

STANFORD WOMEN AND
MEN AT GARDEN FETE
Gay Throng Makes Merry at a
Party in SpaIding Grounds

Stanford men and women made mer-
about the Spalding residence in North
Gates street. A garden party had been
arranged by the young women of the
Stanford club of this city, and was
given for the benefit of the Woman's
club house at Stanford. The grounds
about the house were elaborately deco
rated with Stanford pennants, the red
and white cleaning out most effect
lively as the colored lights and crimson
fires flashed on them.
The spectators were nearly all Stan
ford men and women, and they were
met at the entrance by reception
committee consisting of Miss Jane
Spalding, Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant Mat
thews, Miss Helen Salisbury, Miss Ma
bel Barlow, Miss Grace Lavayea and
the members of the executive board of
the Stanford Woman's club, and these
Stanford men: Messrs. Monohan Mitch
ell, George Dryer and Andrew Copp.
The first amusement on the program
was a parade of Stanford men in gro
tesque costumes led by William Trae-
ger. Colored lights were burned along
the line of march, and men in costumes
representing about every nationality
under the sun formed a striking and
novel feature of the evenings amuse-
ment.

Young Jeff Finds Refuge from a

NEW YORK, June 11-Taken from

him, Young Jeff has found a foster
parent of a far milder nature. That
she should care for him is as surpris-
ing as if a timid sheep took a wolf to

tiger cub and his foster mother is a
Newfoundland dog. Rajah, tigress,
brought a pair of cubs into the world
and the Bostoc.- arena at Coney Island
two weeks ago. One cub died. Know
ing Rajah to be cruel mother, Capt
Jack Bonavita looked for a substitute.
He found the Newfoundland. who was
willing to forsake her own family and
adopt the tiny son of the big Bengal,
The cub accepted the new conditions
without protest, and the dog has since
given tender care to Young Jeff. In
fact, they have become so closely at
tached that BonaVita believes the cub
will grow up as docile as its proxy
