Three men are masters of Penn

are Senator Penrose, who received
the mantle of Matthew S. Quay.
Senator Oliver, who is in Knox's
stead and Governor Edwin S. Stuart.

IT is impossible to get good
roads built under the present laws
regulating the public highways as
they stand on the books, and it is
plain that a uniform set of road
laws for the entire State should be
enacted and put into effect. With
the two lower counties being taxed
for good roads funds" to an
amount Of money each year sufi-
cient TO pay the interest on bond
issue large enough to build the
main roads all over each county,
and which money is squandered in
carrying out the mature ideas of
men who set themselves up as road
experts who are either in or behind
the levy court members of these
counties, and which is only con-
tinuing the old system of wasteful-
ness, it is high time for the people
to act quickly, and have the legis-
lature provide laws which will
bring about a real reform, by max
ing uniform road laws for the en-
tire State. Neither Sussex or Kent |
county has a permanent road built |
from the thousands which have |
been given to them from the State
Treasury, and it is high time that
be done.

IF the liquor interests demand
more than the platforms of the
Republican party has incorporate
on this subject, they are unreason-
able. The Republican Party has
always kept its promises with the
people, and it will continue to do
this along the lines of local option
and other subjects as we'll. Let
the people act carefully and think
over the pledges made by the re-
publicans in their platforms, and
there will be no change in the par
ty now directing the affairs of Del

new CASTLE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

Democratic primaries took place last
Saturday, at which certain county officer:
we're nominated, also candidates for the
Legislature and delegates elected to the
State and county conventions. A light vote
marked the result in the rural districts.
For Sheriff, William ]. Bayley defeated
John D. Thompson by a majority of about
400. The biggest fight in Wilmington
was in the Fourth Representative District
between DR.. I. 0. Cooper and Charles G..
Dempsey for Representative in the Gen.
eral Assembly. Cooper, it is said, was
backed by the liquor interests and won
by a majority Of 800. Anti.liceDse advo-
Gates backed Dempsey, who is Council
member from the First Ward. This ticket
was nominated:
For Sheriff, William J. Bayley Coro-
ner, Thomas NJ. Collins.

THE fool idea which was foisted
upon the legislature and enacted
into law four years ago, that set
the date back for rebating the
county taxes until October, is the
cause of the tribulations in which
the Levy Court of Sussex County
now finds its finances. The County
Of Sussex has ample taxes levied
to pay its bills, but they are not
collected. The law once provided
for the rebate to end at July first
for the FIVE per cent, but now there,
is no incentive for those who owe
taxes to pay them until just before
the first Of October. This leaves
the treasury dry. and the bills ac-
cumlate rapid, until the County
Orders become objects Of question

THE experiment Of the direct pri-
mary elections to select a ticket
which is to be tried by consent of
the Tenth Representative District
of Kent County, at their primary
to be held on Saturday, October
Ist, will practically put it up to the
voters Of that district to name
without influence from political
leaders or directors of that party,
the ticket to be voted for at the
November elections. For this rea-
son it is necessary for all voters to
turn out ond vote for the man of
their choice for the various posi-
tions to be filled, or they may see
men placed on the official ballot
who do not represent their opinions
on the various subjects which they
will be called to act upon after in
duction into othce. The election
laws will apply to this form ofnom-
mating ticket, and any person
guilty of offering an inducement to
another, to either vote for or
against any person on or off the
ticket, will be liable to prosecution
and conviction for bribery. This
is the correct way to transact this
important business, and the only
way to eliminate the undue in
Auencing of votes, against the ex-
pressed desire of the rank and file
of the party.

IF Delaware is to get from under
the control of corporate influences
and yet see that justice be done to
corporate interests and the indus
tries Of the State, the people must
create a Public Service Commis-
sion with powers equivalent to
make it an effective department of
the State government, and see that
each, the people and the corporate
interest receive a square deal. The
Republican platform endorses this
particular idea strongly, and we
believe that the next legislature
should it be controlled by the Re-
Publicans. Enact a law along this
line.
Milford chronicle., 1910-09-09
This

as to their immediate value. This
is the very height Of poor business
policy, and one of the. very first
things the legislature should do
when it meets next winter, is to a
mend that law, and set it back to
the first day Of July as the limit
for the FIVE per cent rebate Of taxes
in Sussex County. If the Levy
Court would act along even the
same lines as the Levy Court OF
Kent which refuses to authorize
orders being drawn until the Coun-
ty Treasurer has the money in hand
to pay them, even though the money
has to be borrowed, the orders Of
Sussex County would be worth
their face value even for deposit
in the banks. Business methods
must be applied to the county af-
fairs of Sussex, if we are to escape
criticism at the hands of the public,
or even our freinds. That is what
a member of the Levy Court is
for, and these men should
be practical men Of business abil-
ity.

ELLENDALE,

As we retire this Wednesday evening
peals of laughter and sounds of merry
ment from the romping lassies and their
gallant beaus brings back to US o'er our
advancing years, memory of our youth ;
the occasion being a gathering of young
ladies and gentlemen at the Dickerson
homestead, and they are making the
walls resound with their happiness all in
honor of the guests, Miss Wilma Rust, Of
Bridgeville, who will next Monday
launch her young life amid the du-
ties of a public school teacher. Her host,
Miss Mary DickersOn, will return to her
teaching in the school in Broadkiln Neck.
The manner in which this party of
youngsters plunge into the big water
melons, and the fine apple slider, cakes is
something to be amazed at from dys-
peptics stand point but to them good
digestion waits on appetite, and their
youthful bodies assimilates because of
their good health which comesfrom clean
living and wholesome exercise.
There was a small strike at the Ellen

We saw this evening Constable Jester

negro who he had tied hand and feet,
and was on his way to Jail with him
He was charged with ravishing a colored |

The tomato season is at it's top notch, |
and many loads are going back home, as /
the buyers here failed to purchase them,
and the cannery has all it can work up |
true to tell, the tomatoes were in very
bad condition, but from now on, if any
buyer wants tomatoes, he can be accom-

The big fire which burned the fish
