GENERAL DUPONT
COMMENDED
Entitled to the Undying Graf
tude Of the People Who
Love Delaware
JOHN S. HAMILTON Notes
EMPHATIC APPROVAL

Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
If +. Coleman DUPONT had never
done anything but suggest the State
highway through Delaware. IL would
entitle him to the undying gratitude
of every man and woman who loves
the dear little State Il was easy
TO suggest State road That had
been done before and hardly caused
ripple II requires genius. how
ever. to nut the matter before the peO-
pie IN the effective way in which 10
was done In this case by General du-
Pont.
II is one thing TO have an idea. 10
is quite another thing to have imagina-
ton that will IN a measure at least
picture the possibilities OF the culmi-
nation of this idea. Ii, however, re-
quires ideas, imagination, and genius
TO grasp the possibilities of a magni-
ficent project like the one suggested
and to lay Il before the people most
vitality interested in the effective man
ner by which this great scheme has
been exploited.
Movement VIII Not Stop.
The writer cannot allow himself 10
think for a moment that now this
movement has been started, il will
ever stop. To suggest that this road
will not be built is to question the
existence of common sense in the peo-
pie south Of the canal, as Of course
there will be no opposition TO Il worth
considering in New Castle county.
There is danger, however, the writer
thinks, I'm the possibilities Of the
cheap man and the good enough"
man spelling the scheme by making
the road too narrow. General du-
Points idea Of 100 feet width, the
writer thinks, is the proper one. The
news to the world that Delaware is
doing such thing will be worth all
II costs in advertising the State and
its people.
No Money Should be Spared.
Let there be no money spared to
make this the finest State road in the
United States. The better the road,
the bigger dividends. The State should
build the road itself. The writer from
the first has believed that General du-
Pont made the offer he did In good
faith. and was willing TO do. and
would do. all he said but he used the
suggestion, the writer has thought
about financing and collecting the
cost OF the work as an effective way
of laying before the people OF thu
State what he. General DUPONT con-
sidered a necessary public work he
considered 1t magnificent bettermenl
which was at the Same time some.

acre Of ground In the three counile
will be increased by II. and tho in
creased value Of the farms will pa,
the cost of the highway many times
