GOOD ROADS AND SCHOOLS.

A T THE recent session of the Mothers and
Parent-Teacher Associations held in Wash
ington the subject of good roads was discussed in
an endeavor to bring out the bearing of good
roads upon the welfare of the children who live in
the country.
1t was pointed out that it is the duty Of the
State to provide roads such as shall be accessible
TO the country schools in all kinds OF weather
And it is clear that the question Of good roads has
most important bearing the educational ad-
vantages OF children in the rural districts as com
pared with the educational advantages of the city
children. II will thus be seen that good roads
have far more important bearing on the welfare
Of a rural community than many persons think
The problem of the country school is very i'm
portant in Delaware Ii has often been discussed
and men directly concerned in educational mat
ters have been puzzled as TO how our country
schools shall be improved. 1t has been argued by
some that there should he country high schools
but the question of distance and how to get the
pupils to such schools has acted as a hold-back
in the proper solution of the problem.
The country child in reality should have the
same educational advantages as those of the city.
In some places il has been suggested that hacks
or other kinds of conveyances should be used TO
carry the children TO the country high schools
should they be established or such conveyance
could be used to take the children to the high
schools of the towns. OF course in district net
ted with trolleys the problem is solved
But II is obvious that if there we're good roads
in the country districts, oonveyances OF one kind
or another could be employed TO take the children
to the fewer and better schools Good roads ami
hilate distance. The building of the DUPONT boule-
ward and the Improvement Of roads in the country
districts will help, or should help in the solution
of the country school problem, and we fancy that
our new State Board Of Education. which will try
to improve the country schools will realize what
an important adjunct to their plans of development

tation already has started in Washington for fur

Another newspaper friendly to the interests is
well pleased with the decision as il declares that
the paralysis of business should now cease
The excuse of the big financial interests for the
tagging of business has been uncertainty over the
action Of the Supreme Court. With that removed,
if that be the true cause Of the depression, we
should enter upon an era Of booming trade. Ger
tsinly there is nothing in the natural conditions
relating to crops or the like that should pre-

AS A RIIsINEss VENTURE.

q ONE folks discussing whether the new
- hotel project will pay as a business venture
If il doesn't we don't suppose we shall hear much
about il any loss but those behind the hotel pro-
ject have fashion of making things pay They
usually know what they are doing If they don't,
there is no other set of business men in Whining
ton who do.
The new hotel will begin a new era in Whining
ton and in Delaware, because there is in reality
an alliance between the State highway scheme and
the hotel project. The mere fact that Delaware
possesses a fine State highway will attract people
10 this State. II will surely bring automobilists
here And the additional fact that we shall have
one of the finest hotels in the country will make
Wilmington and Delaware all the more attractive
10 tourists. Wilmington will be the objective
point TO many of them. They will want TO 60 over
the new highway
The new hotel will also bring more people here
from other parts Of the State from Maryland also,
and from the surrounding Pennsylvania land. II
ought 10 make Wilmington magnetic place for
residents OF the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Will
mington is the natural head OF the peninsula.
Many Marylanders pass through this city, hurry
through il most OF them do, but with hotel such
as the new one promises TO be- we fancy that
great many Of the good people from the Eastern
Shore will visit Wilmington oftener, will stay here
over night, or longer.
The new hotel ought TO bring Wilmington in
much closer touch with the Eastern Shore.
1t ought to be the indirect means at least Of
Increasing our trade in all parts Of the peninsula
II really should stimulate our merchants to 60 after
the Maryland trade. The new hotel will surely
bring greater number of transient visitors TO the
city Consider the large number OF persons who
come here daily TO transact business with the du-
Pont Company. They alone form considerable
body. Then again the new hotel is likely to have
a number of permanent boarders The tendency
ie towards living in apartment houses. The new
hotel should be attractive to people who like apart.
ment house life.
Altogether we see no reason why the new hotel
and all that goes with it, the roof garden and
other things. should not become paying venture
And if new theatre is added much more will il
help. Wilmington will grow and the business OF
the new hotel will grow with it. The DUPONT build
ing alone, including the hotel building, will be

THE RECALL IN ACTION.

New York World.
Tacoma is showing an expectant
world how much fun can be got out
OF the recall when practised with as
siduity.
On April 8 the ladies. the saloon
keepers and other citizens of Tacoma
held a special election to recall Mayor
Faweett. They voted with such vigor
that none Of the three candidates got
the requisite majority and had it not
been such rare sport the day might
have been considered wasted. They
held another special election ten days
later. and this time the panacea pan
ned out and Mayor Faweett made way
for Mayor Seymour.
Time passed and politics became
dull in Tacoma But on May the
clouds lifted and another special cleo
ton blossomed forth to recall the
four City Commissioners. Alasl the
new weapon had become rusty from
a fortnight's long disuse and it failed
to decapitate these officials at one
swift and deadly blow But Tacoma
never wavered. No sooner did she
find that this election was mot de-
cisiva" than she bravely called for
another TO be held on May 16
-Four elections in six weeks, with
a waste Of only a Mayor and possibly
four Commissioners, and all the rest
of the city administration still un-
tapped! What a radiant spectacle Of
a people revelling in its new-tound
might! Let us take our hats on to

POLICE GUARD I. c. LINES,
FOLLOWING. WRECK

The entire suburban system of
the Illinois Central is under
guard by police and private de-
tectives today as result of the
wreeking of three passenger
trains and a freight and an alleg-
ed attempt to wreck a fourth pas
senger train yesterday. No one
was seriously injured.
The company officials place the
blame for the series of wrecks
which occurred between : and
$50 p. m. last evening, on the
striking shop employees. and ask
ed Assistant Chief Schuettler for
guards. Policemen were sent out.
Leaders of the striking en-
ployes resent the charge that
strikers caused the wrecks, as I'M
founded, and assert that the bad
condition of the railroad equip
ment, combined with the incle-
ment~ weather, was the cause.
Many engines and cars. they
claim, have not been overhauled
for months because of the failure
of the company to secure compe-
tent workmen to take the places
of he striking shopmen.
President Kline of the Black
smiths union declared that the
men were we'll in hand, were not
resorting to violence, and said
the striking employees would be
the first ones to deplore any act
of violence.

my new tumbling glasses, very sue
cessful; all got drunk early" These
tumbling glasses. soon called "tumb.

round or pointed bottom, SO that they
could not be set down when they
contained liquids without falling
over and splitting their contents.
They were made as a sort of joke to
