is this unwillingness of our busy
and live men Of highest intelli-
gence to sacrifice a little of their
private interests for the public
good that too often leaves these
interests to fall into incapable
hands to the great loss of all the
people--including the men who
seltishly dodge their civic obliga-
tions.
The new Town Board must do
something more. THE TRAN
SCRIPT has again and again been
assured that daily, week days
and Sundays too crap shooting
and whiskey selling and drinking
is INDUCED in by numbers of col.
ored men and boys in Hamtown.
We have ourselves often seen
young men Of color thus gaming
on Sunday il the woods near
town, 1t is a duty the town
authorities owe equally to public
order and to the less responsible
colored race to break up these
practices.
That they chance to be done
outside the town limits does not at
all excuse IL e official neglect that
has all these years allowed them
to grow and flourish to the
great loss and injury of both
races. The statute permits the
town officers to abate these nui-
sances in a summary manner.
Thus Chap. 25, Laws of Delaware
makes it a misdemeanor to "take
part in or in any way engage in
a certain form of gaming known
as crap" with a penalty of a fine
from IS to $25 or ;ailing from 10
to 30 days, and the offender may
be arrested "by any officer auth
orized under the law of this State
to make arrests, either with or
withouta a warrant.
It is a scandal that these daily
orgies are thus suffered to con.
tinue to the increasing demorali
zation of the colored young men of
the town and vicinity. And what
is the result? A marked increase
in idleness and crime among these
classes. Thefts and robber-
les and assaults are growing
more common. This threefold
robbery by Turpin and Rhodes
are illustrations and it is truly a
shame shat neither the authori.
ties nor any private persons have
lifted a finger to check this rising
tide of viciousness and crime-to
break up this school for vice
whose graduates boys and young
men are going forth to bring dis
grace upon their own race and to
prey upon the other. We de-
mand a Town Board that will put
its foot down hard on this grow.
ing evil.

A SUGGESTION

Mr.. EDITcR:-In these days of criticism
would it not be good plan if both the
light and water and Town commissioner,
were to 50 arrange their fiscal years that
their Annual Reports could be published
on the first day Of February of each year
Thus great deal of conjecture would be
avoided and the respective officers posi-.
bly, relieved Of any censure.
We do not know what these officers are
doing or have done for our benefit. They
make mistake in not giving US the in.
formation we wani in time for US to fully
consider their acts and know whether to
criticise or praise them.

HAVE MUCH TO LEARN.
So Says Sol. Metzger OF West POinl
Team Before 1t Can WaIIop The
Middies.

Writing a review of the Soldiers
showing against Yale in Saturday
big game which the Army won 6 to
O, Sol MetZger, football expert, in
the New York Tribune, says that
West Point has much to learn of the
game before she can beat the Navy.
A portion of his review of the
game follows:
BY outpunting Yale and solving
the famous Minnesota shift that
brought the football sons of Eli out
OF oblivion one year ago, the eleven
of the Army won most creditable
victory. Yale's much heralded line
proved no match for the Army for
wards, either Extensively or defen-
sively. and in the backfield the Army
again showed to advantage, the
men working together in splendid
style and the plays going off with
more of rush and snap. Then.
too, in the matter of interference the
Army backs showed superiority.
At that West Point has consider
able to learn before she can defeat the
Navy. Though her play was good in
many places. she showed upon several
occasions some very poor football.
Once. when lined up for punt. with
Dean ten yards back Hyatt, who had
given the signal for his fake run,
took his position directly back of the
centre, with hands outstetched to re-
ceive the ball, whereupon the Yale
team and every one else knew that
Hyatt was going to run with the ball.
Naturally the play failed, and it was
even more stupid for the reason that
Dean, who stood some ten yards back,
was entirely useless, so that he was
confronted with the spectacle of the
Army playing ten men against
eleven

Concrete Forts and Big Guns That
Protect Our Sea Line.

Concrete Forts and Big Guns That
Protect Our Sea Line.
The modern seacoast fort is a bat.
terry whose guns are protected in front
and flank with enormous monoliths of
concrete, covered. in the sides exposed
10 the fire, with sand enough TO de
aect projectiles before they reach the
concrete, says the Engineering Maya
zine. Deep down in the interior OF
these huge masses of stone are placed
the magazines and operating rooms re-
quired for the service of the batteries.
They are simply caves I'm stone, arti,
fetal, TO be sure. but rs permanent as
the everlasting hills. II is weird and
uncanny to reflect that in one of those
caves, scintillating with the highest
resources of science. men stand over
q drawing board on a table and prac-
tically see and plot on chart every
movement and position of the ships of
a hostile fleet and flash forth to the
gunners in the open such instructions
for pointing their guns as enable them
to make consecutive bullseyes on a
target G.000 yards away or from groups
of great twelve inch rifled mortars to
make AZ per cent of hits with focks
of projectiles on the deck of a moving
target anywhere within range.
1t is vastly important that such
rooms be made as comfortable as pos
sible for the strained human intel
lects working out their country's de-
Tense within them. But to make them
comfortable is a difficult problem. In
the United States the first modern bat
teries were completed during an
exigency caused by the war with
Spain. But since their completion
during the warm and humid months
Of summer and early fall their gal
leries, magazines and service rooms
reek with moisture. Water stands in
great beads upon the walls and cell
ings, from which 1t drips down to form
great pools upon the floors, and they
are not safe places for either human
beings, ammunition or material of war.
To remedy the evil many eXpedients
have been tried and much valuable
experience gained. But the problem
is beset with difficulty.
