COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

a s A RESULT Of legislative enactment some
4 forward steps have been taken towards put
ting the affairs Of Kent and Sussex counties on
more business-like basis There are TO be two
compuollers. one in Kent and the other in Sussex.
At the next election men will be chosen for these
places the Governor in the meantime appointing
temporary officials
There was no serious opposition in either party
TO the creation OF these positions. The Office OF
County Comptroller is one of the most important
positions in New Castle county, and we trust the
same may be said of Kent and Sussex
The principal thing TO be kept in mind is that
the affairs Of the lower counties should be strictly
q matter of business How long il will take
the people 10 work up to this idea may be ques-
toned but they will surely grasp t,before many
years.
There two conceptions Of county government
in the lower counties One conception is that we
have just mentioned and the other conception is
that county business and county affairs are sim
ply opportunities TO provide places for some men,
often men who have not been particularly success
full in private business.
Politics, according TO this idea is simply the
providing of jobs for men who are active in poll
tics The consequences of this view, view that
has a strong hold, is inefficient and improper ad-
ministration Of affairs, csrelessness and extrava-
gance and waste.
No better illustration could be given than that
OF polntlng 70 tne way fOauS nave Deen Cafeu IOI
in the awer counties Instead of having a COM
petent county engineer with full authority TO act
and to direct the improving of the roads there has
been a system the sole object of which seems TO
have been to parcel out Jobs" TO various persons
most Of whom are incompetent to fulfill the duties
they supposed TO perform.
The wrong thus inflicted upon the property own
ers is obvious Heavy owners Of property are
mucted for taxes and the best results are not OBJ
tanned from the expenditures Of the taxes. II the
County Comptrollers in Kent and Sussex do as
they should long step will have been taken to-
wards giving the lower counties better govern
ment
Why the demand for good administration does
not become so nsistent that the political leaders
are forced to see the unwisdom of playing
polite" in county affairs is Of the mysteries
to II is said that when you touch a mans
pocketbook, you touch him heavily. This may be
true, but il does not seem 10 he true in dealing
with the affairs of county governments If it we're
true, for example Levy Court like that of Sussex
would politically fear to oppose so good bill
as that 10 place all authority over road building
in the hands of county engineer

Remedy Saved Her Child d-TrYitFree

There are literally thousands of women
in this country who gratefully acknowl-
edge that they owe the present good
health Of their children to the timely
use of DR.. caIdwelI's Syrup Pepsln.
The crying baby usually is oonstipated
or suffers from intestinal trouble due to
some error in diet. II needs no heroic
measures-iust gentle laxative like
Syrup Pepsin. A small dose of Il will
right the baby. It is a great laxative
and digestant, pleasant-tasting and non
gripping. No baby or child refuses it.
Many mothers never give their children
anything else, and they have robust
children and no Doctors bills. It is a
great money saver as we'll as a great
life saver. If space permitted, thousands
Of women's addresses could be given
who write they will never be without
Syrup Pepsln in the house. II Is for
all the family-for anyone who realizes
that salts and strong cathartics are only
temporary expedients. You can buy a
bottle of your favorite druggist at ffty
cents and one dollar. or If you wish to
make a trial Of it first, you can obtain a
free sample bottle from DR.. Caldwell by
sending him your name and address.

THE NEW FRANCHISE.

He STREET AND SEWER DIRECTORS have
n granted the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company the franchise which the com
pany has sought for considerable time and
against the granting of which considerable oppo-
sition had been expressed.
II seems, according TO various statements, the
company had franchises under which il could oper-
ate and the question. therefore arises why others
we're needed. This is explained on the ground
that the new franchise will straighten out some
enta1glements and permit the company to dispose
Of securities TO advantage. Evidently the old
franchises we're not sufficient for that purpose or
else there would have been no need OF new one.
a-sYSc Sffsee~znd Sewer Commissioners have put
restrictions on The company by limiting the maxi
mum charge for current and requiring that the
city shall get two per cent Of the gross receipts
Perhaps it would have been better had the Di-
rsctors waited until the city had its new Public
Utilities Commission and acted in conjunction with
fnsr body in granting any additional franchises
if may look 70 some II the directors we're dis
rffed 70 ignore the Commission
However the franchise has been secured AZ
those who have followed the matter supposed IL
would he. and now that the entanglemerts have
teen sfraiehtened out, the company will be in
position 70 sell some Of its securities and il will
have additional funds which we are informed are

There has been unfortunately too

Near the center Of that circle the

The behavior Of the phenomenon
with regard to sunrise also accords
with the supposition that It is really
light snow OF frost which is seen. for
as the morning sun gets higher upon
it it gradually disappears. as II melted
away. Thus all the appearances are
in favor of the hypothesis that has
been mentioned.
And yet there are puzzling difficult
ties in the way which makes these
curious observations of fascinating in
terest. We know that the force of
g%ravitation in Mars is only about two
fifths Of that on the earth, and we in
fer that as a consequence Mars can
not permanently hold upon its sur
face such gases as those which con
stitute the bulk Of the earth's atmos-
phere.
The suggestion has been made that
it is frozen carbonic acid, but that
hypothesis is hardly satisfactory. But
whatever it may be. there can be no
doubt of the existence of something on
Mars which behaves after the manner
Of snow. and facts are facts, however
much they may fly in the face Of
theories.
