NATURE NOTE
A hen was cackling loud and long.

Said she; "'Tis scarce a song; in fact,
It's just lay, to be eggs-act.'
MISLEADING

Editorial Opinion
Natural Resources.

Natural nesources.
Ohio State Journal
The question of the disposition OF
the natural resources in the West has
been answered by some of the states
men there to the effect that these ma
tural bounties belong to the commun-
tiles where they exist and should be
disposed of as those communities may
deem best. The disposition that some
of them favor Is their early absorp-
tion by capital. so as to enhance the
immediate welfare of those communi-
ties.
This, of course, means that those
great resources shall become the pro-
perty Of powerful monopoles and that
the use of these powers shall go to the
building up of wealth rather than to
the advancement of society. The
rights of posterity are nothing to these
statesmen. The use they propose "a
make of the forests, the water powers
and the mineral deposits is for tenn
porary exploitation which will in the
end serve to make dependents anc
bondsmen of the people.
The situation is very apt to bring ur
the old question of how much of God,
bounty shall go to making all the peo-
pie happy and how much TO making
some of them wealthy.

Al White who wants to represent Delaware in

~ The Star as we'll as Mr.. White, on second
thought might modify that opinion. Perhaps it
was an oversight on the part of Mr. White, but il
he should look after the interests of Sussex couu-
ty specifically and those Of the remainder Of the
State generally, his platform could not be
'broad-gauged" He will use his best endeavors
to secure appropriations for the development of
Sussex county and appropriations for public
buildings in Sussex county towns. In other
words his eyes will be on the pork barrel"
If chosen Congressman he should not overlook
New Castle and Kent counties. They are still on
the map. Mr. White doubtless means, if elected,
to look after the interests of all the counties as
Mr. Heald has done, and he will say so when the
proper time comes.
There should be no division on county lines
when considering political matters We have had
too much OF the county business. We want more
OF Delaware County lines have figured too
greatly in state conventions.
We say this without particular objection to Mr..
White as the Democratic candidate or meaning in
anv way to "knock" his candidacy. For we agree
with The Star that the Democrats would have a
big lob to elect him or any other man that may
be nominated BY them. Mr.. White doubtless
would be a candidate entirely satisfactory to his
party.

Two new public buildings for towns of the
state-Lewes and Smyrna-are very gratifying.
and the residents of those towns must feel
elated For while it was doubtful whether
either of the appropriations could be secured, ow
ing to the cry of economy at Washington, but
the influence cf the Delaware members was felt
at the right time and the things they were at

will be handsome ornaments to the towns, signs

federal government will have led the way.
Many appropriations have been made for Del
