wl1nsrdnding this apparent subserviency

reached the limit, and then the climax

II may be said that as a rule the peo-

What is needed in Louisiana is moral
courage which is lacking through tim

This applies to the business commune

70 OUR GRADUATES
Enter Into Your Life Work
With Riaht Motive

Graduated? Yes, nearly every ham.
let, village, town and city at this com.
mencement season of the institutions
of learning, welcome home those who
have spent years in hard study and with
honors have graduated; and many are the
hopes and expectations centered in you
hopes that society will be elevated, many
immoraIities corrected, wrongs riRhted and
places of importance better filled. Do
you ask, where is your place2 The
world is before you, and though it may
seem crowded, there are still many wants
that it does not advertise, to avoid rush
of applicants, but these wants exist, and
are, indeed, very pressing and very real,
and your compensation will be as ample
as you have brains, pluck and energy to
earn it. The world wants graduates who
are men enough to search out these places
and make room for themselves; it wants
young women of sufficient self.reliance to
bear the disappointment of not securing
the first position for which they apply;
most Of all, it wants character, and it
very wisely declines to accept q college or
school diploma as conclusive evidence of
that. Therefore We silently whisper,
enter into your life work with right mo.
tives, esrnestness, zeal and honesty Of
purpose, land thoroughness that will satisfy
yourself; then others will be satisfied.
Realize the responsibilities which have
come to you, and assume them in great
humbleness, and yet, in true manIiness,
and bear in mind, by your fruits ye shall
be known.

lication:
WILMINGTON, DEL, May 25th, 1910.
Mr.. JOSEPH BERKMAN,
MiddletoWn, Del,
wish 90 inform you that We are desir.
ous Of starting another factory in making
Sanitary Underwear, same as we are now
making ct Smyrna, Delaware. We have
several towns who are offering us different
kinds Of inducements. We do not need
any financial assistance. What we need
is building about 25x75, one story, and
assurance of getting as least 80 hands TO
start with. Our intention is to put in all
new aud up-to-date machinery.
If your town is desiFOus OF having us
locate in Middletown what will they do
towards same?
You can take this up with the proper
authorities and let us know.
Yours truly,
DELMARVIA MF0, Co,
It will be noted that the promoters of
this enterprise offered our town, ask no
monied assistance or bonus-but only two
things-frst, suitable building; second,
assurance Of 80 workers to start with.
Cannot these both be found? Could not
the old shirt factory building be had for
that purpose? These various undertakings
have succeeded handsomely in other
places and despite the fact that we had
lake here some years ago which cost some
of our citizens penny or tRo-dBe to
somebody's bad business management
is no reason why, on q second trial, q
Of the sort proposed should
not meet with entire success.
Middletown has suffered sadly in former
years by a misguided policy that drove
away business enterprises seeking location
here. None of that spirit, however, is I
found here to-day. No town on this |
peninsula has better surrounding country
than MiddletoWn-able in itself to con.
sume no small output Of such q manufac.
tured article.
II necessary some meeting of q public
nature or otherwise might be held about
The matter. 1t should not be allowed to
90 by default. This may be the opening /
wedge that may lead to greater things for
nothing" they say, succeeds like sue

4 MAD BULL

| Last Tuesday afternoon Whils thA
school Children were playing In the yard
during the tttee O'Clock recess, large bull
CAME firiodsly dahhfng into the vety midst
ofscores of them-young and old. "A gentle.
man, who stood within so feet Of them,
says the animal leaped into the circle
where some 20 or SO smaller boys and girls
were engaged in a game that grouped
them in this manner; and how it came
that several were not killed or as least
severely injured, be cannot imagine. As
it was, Rogers Fouracre, seven.year-old
lad, was struck and rolled over several
times on the ground, receiving many
bruises and scratches upon ais face and
head-though not seriously harmed.
The bull was being driven by q colored
man to Mr.. John Anderson's stock-yard
at Cecilton, and though ringed in the
nose, got loose from the holder Of the rope,
Afterwards the animal knocked Mr.. An.
derson down twice and injured him sc.
verely. There seems to be no law upon
she subject Of driving bulls through the
streets, but there should be. A bull irri-
tated from driving and with his anger
further iDfamed at sight of the bright
scarlet clothing of school children, is but
little less dangerous in public street than
some wild beast; and it should be penal
offence to drive one in any such Way,
They say Mr.. Anderson had bull. wagon
and might in the first instance, as he after.
wards did, have carried the bull in that
safe manner. 1t was truly q miraculous
escape for the little lads and Iassies and

trifiing mishap as the outcome of what
might well have been heart.rending
