ROAD ENGINEER IN SUSSEX.

II HE deadlock in the Sussex County Levy
\ Court over the election Of county road
engineer has been broken by the election of Mr..
William J. Mustard, and the Sussex Republican
remarks that the selection is a good one. Mr..
Mustard according to all the statements, is COM
petent for the place. His election delayed
by the refusal of one Republican member Of the
court to support him. According to the Republi-
can. one of the Democratic members of the court
voted for Mr. Mustard, and thus broke the dead
lock- The ballot was secret and it is not known
which Democrat voted for the successful candi-
date but the Republican says that whoever he
NAV be- he deserves praise for his act because
he thereby enabled the body of which he is a
member 10 DO its duty
That is the way it strikes outsider. There
was no legitimate reason why "a Democratic
member should not have taken part in the cleo
ton as the Democratic papers of Sussex, and the
Sussex Journal in particular, declared that
road engineer should be chosen. No doubt the
filling OF the position will meet the approval OF
all citizens of Sussex who stand for county I'M
provements
Sussex in area is by far the largest county of
the State Some work has been done to improve
the roads and with a man like Mr. Mustard as
county engineer this road improvement should
be pushed forward.
In Kent they are still debating the question OF
good roads. The figures of the cost OF road inn
provement in this county have scared some OF
the Kent countians who hold that Kent county
could not undertake so expensive an operation
as New Castle has done. This, think, is true,
but we believe that with intelligent direction and
the expenditure Of a fair amount of money
great Improvement could be made in the roads
Some of the roads there look as if the road over
seers had been engaged in a contest to see which
one could produce the worst specimen OF coun-
try highway.

MOTHERS INFLUENCE HELD HIM.

THE Suffragsts and their opponents had
l. battle royal before the New York Legisla-
ture the other day and it was dead earnest
fight TO the finish. The advocates of equal SUI
frage have been active and determined in New
York but their zeal has aroused their opponents
among women who compose the New York State
Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage" The
forces seemed to be about equal in strength, al
though the Suffragists had strong advocate in
Samuel Unternyer the lawyer of New York
City
The battle at Albany was not without some
humorous incidents. The member of the Leg
isature from Columbia county is a young man
only four years out of college. The Suffragists
evidently regarded him as impressionable, for
they swooped down upon him as he was wander
ing in the corridor and demanded to know
what he was going to do, how he would vote
on the equal suffrage proposal.
"I should not dare vote for this BILL he said
to his questioners ''NTy mother and sister arc
members of the association opposed to Equal
Suffrage"
"You should not be tied to your mothers
apron strings like that" said one of the new
women.
"They would put me out of the house, il
voted for suffrage protested the young legis-
latof
'Well. then board out
Never" said the Assemblyman firmly 1

The incident supports the old saying that
the best way to reach mans heart or head IS

A KENT VIEW OF NATIONAL POLITICS.

n d"
TT HE Dover Sentinel has an interesting and
4 pertinent editorial article on the national
political situation in which it says that there is
no mistasing the temper Of the American peo-
pie in regard TO unlawful and harmful trusts
and monopolies. The people demand what Mr..
Roosevelt called a square deal that business
Shall be transacted with some degree of honesty
and fairness, that profits shall not be made ex-
cessive by the restraint of trade and by eombi-
nations that shall limit production.
illegal trusts and bad monopolies are to be
cut out" says the Sentinel, "and if the Republi-
can party cannot dot or will not do it another
party will be born to attempt and accomplish
this task No man in the nation seems to be
better fitted for this great task than President
Taft, but the question is whether he will be al
lowed to act "a. .srrpeon-n-chief or whether those
less wise and less skillfu will insist upon direct
Inc the operation The Sentinel insists that
the President should lead and that the extremists
en- 6oth sides should yield.
The Sentinel takes a correct view of the mat
ter but we may add that il the Republican party
does not undertake the task there will probably
be a new party, for but few believe that the
present leaders of the Democratic party, if they
had the reins of government at Washington
would be able to bring about the changes de-
sired The Democrats seem TO be an unorgan-
ized mass with no unanimity as regards their
policies if they have any. The Republican party
has been the party that "does things" and it IS
the party that will have to solve the problems Of
which the Sentinel speaks or make way for an
other party.
President Taft no doubt realizes this fact.
The President has been sincere in all his efforts,
and perhaps the chief criticism that be made
OF him is that he has permitted persons to inn
pose upon his good nature. We are apt, even in
this criticism. to overlook the many good traits
that mark Taft's character.
Let no one think that the opponents Of what
have been loosely called the Roosevelt ideas will
yield without struggle. Mr.. Taft has made
Straightforward attempt to carry out his pledges.
His task is difficult Bills which have been
drawn in accordance with his idea have been
found to be mutated. Hardly measure is pro-
posed that some one does not fear Joker is
concealed in it, All the cunning and unscrupu-
iousness that money can buy being used TO
block most of the proposed laws supported by
the President In the fight that is now waging
there is no mistaking the temper of the people.
The Sentinel has but reflected the thoughts that
are agitating the minds of many voters.

Almost every day there is news that Mr.. J.

nation The latest is that the hnanciers hand

amagamated easily when the time is ripe for
raising huge capital to run an extensive business.

sires Mr. Peary to appear in person and submit
his proofs
Naturally this attitude Of the Congressman has
stirred the scientists who had no difficulty in
determining that Peary was the actual discover

National Geographic Society that examined the
proofs declares they would be meaningless TO a
committee Of Congress, and in this he is right

Opinion
THE CRIME OF JlNeoIsM


New York World.
''The Far East is full of menace"
says nearly every lingo who comments
on the situation in China and Japan.
So would be any other part of the
world if the cormorant nations were
engaged there in a struggle to grab
land and concessions and to compel
trade
Americans will fall within the shadow
of this menace only as they back the
adventures of individuals who have
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by war.
one sure way to escape trouble is
to keep out of bad company. Another
way is to mind ones own business,
which should always be honest and
aboveboard.
AS a nation we have nothing to fear
from the Eastern menace unless we
permit ourselves TO be used by self
seekers at home and abroad. Most of
the great powers would like TO have
somebody bell the Japanese cat. In
diplomatic circles it is agreed that this
would be a fine job for the United
States. Unfortunately there are many
Americans who feel the same way
about il.
While these considerations account
for a good deal Of the war talk, it is
to be remembered that the Naval APP
propriation bill is pending at Wash
ington and that the loudest alarms are
always sounded when the big-ship pro-
gramme Is under way. A people who
