WE begin a great decade. What
it may mean to us in point of fpopu.
lation the census alone can tell.
What the tens of years that have
elapsed since 1910 have developed
we all know. Let us consider.
In 1870 Napoleon was alive. He
was doing wonderful things ; plan
ming the overthrow Of England and
the assault upon Russia that prov
ed so disastrous to him. Thomas
| Jefferson was living. Emerson was
cutting his teeth; so was Tennyson;
also Abraham Lincoln. And there
you have four men Of whom any
century might well be proud to give
birth.
In the decade from 1900 to 1910
what has been accomplished? These
things: The coming of the motor
car; the appearance Of wireless tele-
graphy, the development of a new
science based upon radium. These
things ore entirely material. Let
us consider our spiritual advance
ment, if we have made any.
It is not for US to criticise DR..
Eliot's proposed new religion. 1t
may be all right or all wrong. We
mention it only because a distin-
guished scholar saw fit to start an
established faith. In France and
in Spain the past decade has seen
the Christian faith most violently
attacked. 1t is certain to endure,
however;it has for nearly two thous-
and years. The spiritual world is
still alive and more than ever vigor-
Gus. Mind is ruling the world.
This is a year in which one
should be glad to be born. If you
were given birth in 1910 you would
have had no bathtubs, toothbrushes,
stoves, electric lights, rubber boots,
railroads or socks. Think of that. |
The great Queen Josephine, wife of
had decayed teeth, and |
that is one reason for her divorce. !
The first stove placed in house in
Philadelphia commanded social as
And that was in 1910.
If you came to contemplate in a
leisurely way what amazing luxu-
ries you enjoy, and then reflect up
On the inconvenience with which
your ancestors were subjected to,
you may learn to rejoice that you
are living in 1910 instead of 1910.
A happy New Year to you
From the Press.

FROM every meeting Of promin-
ent farmers who are not politicians,
from every Grange where farmers,
who read and have advanced ideas
as to the needs of the State, meet
and discuss live interests, the
opinion is endorsed, that Delaware,
and especially lower Delaware,
must have improved roads. This
is a growing sentiment in Kent
county, and one which the present
Levy Court would be wise in heed
ing; for, as sure as day follows
night, the political advisers and
those in control of that body will
have to answer to the people next
fall for failure to provide the meth
DDS to carry out the law which the
last Legislature provided to start
the building of better roads in Kent
oounty. It is an issue that will
outweigh the demands Of pOliti-
clan anxious only to grasp the fruits
Of his aspirations for high Office,
for the people are more alive to
their interests than they were twenty
years ago, and they know how to
get what they want.

GRAPHOPHONE COMPANY'S con.

The United States Court of Appeals
on Tuesday rendered an important de-
cision approving the conduct of the
American Graphophono Company. The
court finds the Graphophone Company
owns the famous Jones Patent for
the production of the disc sound-rec-
ords which are now in universal
use;" and the Victor Company is H.
censee under another patent for "a
combination of the Berliner reproduc-
ing stylus with sound-records which
We're old" The two concerns eX-
changed licenses and undertook 10
suppress infringers of their said pat
ents. The Graphophone Company,
after full proofs, obtained tsperpetudl
injunction against the Leeds and Cat
lin Company, for direct infringement
of its Jones PATENT and about the
same time the Victor Company got a
preliminary injunction against the
same concern, not fO- direct infringe
ment but for contributory infringe
ment. The Graphophone Company. by
acquiring from former Leeds and Cat
lin jobbers the records with which the
latter had previously been stocked,
succeeded in suppressing any further
danger Of such contributory infringe
ment
The Victor Company took the matter
into court, but the Court of Appeals
now approves this conduct on the part
Of the Graphophone Company and dis
