Roosevelts Mistake.

In the light of fuller details OF ex-
President Roosevelts Cairo speech

Egypt, Il is plain that what might have
seemed courageous and conscientious
was injudicious meddling with the IN
ternal politics OF the country. Ger
tainly for a man of such commanding
importance TO take sides on grave
national question was an unfortunate
oyerstepping of the prophecies.

CAMPAIGN OPENS TO-DAY

The first voting of the campaign Of
1910, in this State, will open to-day
Saturday, when the Republicans will
hold their first primaries throughout the
State to elect delegates to attend the State
Convention which will be held at Dover
on next Wednesday, at which time the
State officers will place in nomination to
be voted for at the ensuing election in
November.
The Republicans are the first to start
the ball rolling this year, and the in
dications are that the coming conven.
tion will be one of harmony among the
party, and that when the State ticket is
nominated, that it will be supported by
the entire Republican strength of the
State.
The candidates for the various State
officers, have not made much mention of
their candidacy, and there is considerable
speculation as to who will be the choice
of the convention for these places; it iG
safe, however, to say that the conven.
ton will endeavor to nominate its strong
est and best men and thus enter into the
fight under the most favorable conditions

Sunday School Pic-Nics

The scholars of Bethesda NJ. E. Sunday
school and many Of the members Of the
Church, spent a delightful day. at st.
Augustine Beach on Tuesday. The occa
sion was the annual picnic OF the Sunday
School, and as usual large crowd assem-.
bled at the Church early in the morning,
aud the firsewagons to arrive were quickly
filled and departed for the Park.
The only obstacle to mar the days
outing, was the failure ;of some wagons
to put in appearance, and the committee
in charge OF conveyance was compelled to
secure other rigs to carry the large crowd.
This caused some delay, and it was about
IL o'clock when the last wagon departed.
The Sabbath School of Forest Presby-
terian Church enjoyed the cooling breezee
OF the Delaware Bay at Augustine Beach
Thursday, it being the occasion OF their
annual picnic. Several wagon loads ol
little ones, their teachers and parents,
went on the xcursion, and good time,
with ideal weather, plenty OF good things
to eat and amusements galore, made the

Huoe Excursions

Last Tuesday, the 2Sd, the Dslawarl
railroad ran q hugs excHrsion train &
Atlantic City made up Of five sections
each section containing ten or twelve carr
all stuffed with sweltering, but iovial
humans, like kit Of dried macketel.
Thirty-seVen tickets were sold from this
depot alone. Everybody knows what a
mint of money Middletown is to this
railroad and this makes the marvel the
greater-that it doesn't even get decent
accommodations much less generous Ones
Dover and little Laurel are to have new
depots, etc., and Smyrna after good
hearty kicking bout on the part Of its
spirited citizens, gets it's beloved Peanut
Rooster engine removed and proper one
provided. But Middletown gets big
lapful of nothing as usual-and We
reckon deserves all it gets, for its citizens
are too tame spirited to do any kicking
for their rights. So we will have to put
up with our Pneumonia Waiting Shed"
for another year. We ought to be willing
to give our wives and daughters the
pneumonia if thereby we can save the poor
Delaware railroad few pennies expense
which will go to fat that 25 per cent divi.
dend the road earns and somebody gets.
So with contented hearts, like the chap
who folded his hands meekly when about
to partake Of boiled crow, We too will
meekly murmur 20 Lord for what we
are about to receive, make US trulythank.
