BY all means let US have the Du-
Pont Boulevard through Smyrna.
Let US not make the mistake of our
forefathers and see it go beyond
our limits such as the case of the
Delaware Railroad. This blunder,
enacted in the early fifties, has been
a blow from which Smyrna has never
fully recovered. Smyrna, had the
railroad gone through town, might
have been the largest municipality
in the State. All of the present
town of Clayton might have been
the growth of Smyrna and more too.
With our splendid navigation facili-
ties, unequalled on the Delaware
Shore, Smyrna had every opportuni-
ty to expand and grow but the loss
sustained in not having the main
line of the Delaware Railroad go
through our town, has been a set
back from which past and present
generations have had to suffer. Let
US take lesson and make no mistake
in the question of the State Boule-
ward. BY all means have this mag
nificent thoroughfare pass through
Smyrna.

Indications are that the passage
in the House of Representatives at
Washington with only Is Republi-
cans opposing, of the constitutional
amendment for the popular election
of Senators, is the beginning of the
final stage in the adoption of that
amendment. There seems to be 10
reasonable doubt of its endorsement
by the State Legislatures when it
reaches them. The Senate has
always been the real obstacle in
the way of the change and its vote
in the closing days of last Congress
makes the outlook for the adoption
of the amendment at this session
promising. The amendment would
have passed the Senate last Friday
had its Democratic advocates been
content with securing the popular
election of the Senate alone. Un-
fortunately that provision was
coupled with another, removing
from Congress the power it has had
since 1889 to prescribe the time,
place and manner of holding such
elections. The Senate, by a vote
of so to 81, refused to curtail the
Federal power over the, election
of Senators, and the amendment
then confined to the single provision
for the popular election of Senators
received 81 ayes to SO nays. In this
Senate the same question will come
up again. Most of the Republicans
are willing to support a provision
for the popular election of Senators,
but are not willing to sacrifice Fed
-eral control. The House resolution
will doubtless encounter an amend
ment retaining Federal authority
.-over Senatorial elections. The
number of Senators who will insist
on that feature is not so large as in
the last session, as Democrats have
taken the places of a number of
them. Some of the progressive
Republicans are willing to sacrifice
Federal control, but it is not likely
that a two-thirds vote can be Sc
cured for the constitutional amend
ment in the Senate unless. th'
National authority over Senatorial
elections is left undiminished. Tn
adoption OF the amendment for tn
popular election of Senators pur
and simple, without destroying tn
present Federal authority over elec
tions. had 33 votes against it in tn
last Senate. Seven of these vote
were cast by Senators who hav
since retired from the Senate. Ha
they not voted on that amendmer
when it failed !. he Senate it woul
have had more than a two-thirC
vote and would have been adopte'
The successors are for the most pa
the product of the protest again
the old order of things which swe
over the country last October, a
may be counted with confidence
favor of the popular election
Senators.

The Street Committee has set
aside two days in each week to clean
streets and has asked the co-opera-
tion of the citizens of town in the
matter. Good Council can we'll
afford to give this matter their care
full consideration. There is nothing
that reflects more against town
management than dirty, unsightly
steets. Two days is little enough
to give to this important subject.

The attitude of the Governor of
Georgia, who, in the case of par
dons declares he cannot use his
Office as an opposition establishment
to the courts is the correct one. Of
course, there are circumstances
justifying an apparent opposition
to justice, but these are much rarer
than the generality of pardons can
sustain. AS a rule, the executive
Office is to uphold, not to nullify the
law, and the pardon privilege has
been so abused that now life SEN
tence is risk which can be assumed
with reasonable chance of winning
out against the law, thus diminishing
the force and effect of life terms as
deterrents to murderous impulses.
Sentiment plays far too important
a part in the enforcement of the
law.
