Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1911-02-15

you aspiring for. the dollar or the
honor Beg pardon, don't aspire. We
shall keep our weather eye on you.
Since last l was with you there has
been School Election a Town Elec-
, ton, and General Election.
Now is it really so that the gentle
man who took such an active part in
the School Election was working for
the good o. the cause, for the County
SUPPLEMENTARY, or for the good OF
his family: Many think the latter.
At the Town Election, Mr.. Rose.
Dr. Steel and Mr. Jacobs were elect
ed How have they measured up:
Not bad men as men go, but what
have they done: You know, the Book
says, and by their works We shall
know them
Mr.. Rose, the ex-ofice-holder, from
Pencader, the scrapper, who would
rather scrap than eat. But you al
ways know where to find him. The
college trustees or faculty, or both,
seem TO sort OF clip his wings. The
Mayor has said that Mr. Rose assur-
ed him that the row OF trees next the
college along North College avenue,
would be removed last summer or fall
but they still stand while in other
paris OF the town they are cut down
when in the road ui pubic improve
clert with little Or no ceremony.
There is 4 reason You have heard OF
the Trust Company Gang Just think
who they are. and who lives on North
College avenue If Mr.. Mayor wants
this street widened and put in proper
shape, and it surely should be done at
| once, his opposition comes from this
bunch, even ii he. the Mayor, is friend
, ~ with them. \ OH know he is young
j lthe Mayor, not Mr.. Rose. He, Mr..
Rose, has been pulling wires for years
and the Mayor may get wise, by and
by.
Dr. Steel always appealed TO me as
a harmless sort ct chap, but you
cant always tell, ! believe he would
keep you guessing as to where he
stood on any important question. This
is not the Doctor fault. just think
who are his most intimate friends, the
| present Mayor and the Ex-Mayor
and they do say these gentlemen do
not always see things alike. Then
what can you expect poor Doctor to
do.
can scarcely write the name OF
| Jacobs without shedding tears He
made the mistake OF his life in settling
here and getting mixed up with that
Lungtown Hollow bunch. \ ct he
seems to have proSpered, more than
many who condemn MN without cause.
Not a had .ellyw ii ne would dive his
| hair.
oh, my, but how hard the Old
Guard OF the q. .. F. GIed! | guess
from what | can learn that they got
the surprise oi their lives when the
returns came in, showing that they
had lost thelr representative. But
tnere Is one ccnsg atom. The gentle
man elected says it was Republican
votes that pulled him through. Ii this
were true. ne should have remembered
them when voting ior the Y. 5. Sena-
tor. Some say he did. AS you and he
are fellow members at Dover, surely
something sJ5u.G come our way. OF
MIN we shall expect the most. as he
represents al factions, Democrats
Republicans, the wet side and the dry
slde; While you only count Tor two
Republicans and dry Very dry, they
do say.
have just read Mr.. ]. Wilkins
Cooch.s letter in the Delaware Led
ger It made me sad read it a
second time, and just then a happy
thought struck me. v s.. either MIR
Cooch has been misiniormed, or our
present Council should be impeach
ed. viii try to decide which BIZ the
time | have another effusion for YOU
| will look around town and hone
to find some why's by another moon
Yours very truly,
SPARkLETS.
