ROBERT D. HOFFECKER,
Rditor and Business Manager.

"Push and Don't Knock" This
is the motto Dover is using to get
ahead, says the Dover "Delawarean." "
The latter emphasizes this point
in an editorial published in its last
issue. 1t says: "The MiddletOwn
Transcript is worried over the lack
of initiative in that town in secur-
ing new industries and points out
the work the Dover Board of Trade
is now doing towards putting the
new Dover Fruit Juice Company on
its feet, and the work of Armour &
Company in opening up new plant
at Ridgely. Dover is decidedly
blessed in having men with good will
towards the town, who wish to see
it grow. In the last few years much
of the old feud talk has died out,
and we see here as in other live
towns that the only way to make the
town grow is for everyone to get
together ana push. The motto is
"Push and Don't Knock" and it is
winning the fight for Dover. The
sale of the stock of the new juice
plant is not rushing, but it is NOV
ing steadily towards the mark of
S25, 900 that has been set. Every
business man in town is asked to
take some of the stock, even if it is
only P share or two. The faith that
our own people show in this enter
prise will determine how much faith
outsiders will show in it when the
proposition of taking stock in it is
put up to them. We have the "ge$-
up-and-get" habit, and Dover is
forging to the front in the peninsula
towns. We wish our Middletown
neighbors we'll, and hope they car
realize on some of their promised in.
dustries soon.'

Government Again Sues Coal Roads.


The government will renew the
fight to take from the great coal car
rying railroads their virtual control of
mines, and thus vitalize the commodi-
ties clause OF the interstate commerce
law.
A test case against the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad company was filed in the
United States court in Philadelphia.
That the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, Coke Brothers, Inc, the New
York & Middlefield Railroad and Coal
company, and the Locust Mountain
Coal and Iron company are not bona
tide coal companies, but merely ad-
juncts to the Lehigh Valley railroad,
and are devices for evading the COM
mOdities clause" is the governments
principal complaint. 1t is also alleged
that the Lehigh Valley railroad, with
the object of removing competition,
has caused the Lehigh Valley Coal
company to contract at a loss for the
output of other anthracite operators,
has transported the coal over it's own
lines and through the coal company
fixed the price in New York and other
markets.
The government charges that al
though the buying of coal from other
operators has been done at a loss to
the coal company, it has enabled the
Lehigh Valley railroad to transport the
coal over it's lines and profit from the
freight charges.
To support it's claim that the coal
company is merely the dummy
/ through which the railroad engaged in
mining, transporting and selling coal
in violation of the commodities clause
the government cites that the officers
of the railroad and the coal companies
are the same, and that certain mem
bers of the directorate and the ex-
ecutive committee of the railroad are
members of the directorate and exec
utive committee of the coal company.

Senator to wife's Rescue.

Mrs. Luke Lea, wife of the senator
From Tennessee, upon whom an oper-
alton was performed at the George
town University hospital in Washing
ton a few days ago, became suddenly
worse and Senator Lea was hasti'''
summoned.
When he arrived Senator Lea was
advised by the physician that a trans
fusion of blood was the only thing
that would save the patients life. The
senator Immediately submitted to an
operation.
Senator Lea was able to walk about
the hospital with assistance and is ra-
pidly gaining strength. 1t is said that
nearly a quart of blood was trans
fused Mrs. Lea is now thought to be
on the road to recovery.

1t is now figured that over 1000
people pstronized the Country
Fair" on the Fourth of July and that
nearly half as many people came to
town who did not appear on the Fair
Grounds. At any event, it was
great Fourth for Smyrna and mer-
chants on all On all sides are smiling
over the good business they did.
Occasions like this are profitable for
any town and the women of our Cen
tury Club are coming in for much
praise for their enterprise Let US
hope that these hustling women will
continue to make the Fourth a red
letter occasion for Smyrna and that
long after the mortgage has been
lifted from their beautiful Club
honse.

People who have been condemning
Smyrna Town Council the past week
for putting two half-barrel imprO-
vised horse troughs on the W. c. T.
U. fountain site, are now praising
them for having a concrete and per-
manent trough and fountain built
that promises to be sanitary as we'll
as ornamental.

''Smyrna, it seems, instead of
getting a new building at the hands
of the Republican leaders, will have
to sacrifice hotel. That's slow
way for town to- grow-going up
stairs one step up and then two
down. Dover State News.
Quite true, Brother Editor. We
agree with you that it does not show
a proper spirit of progressiveness to
tear down a four story brick hotel to
make room for a Federal Building
when so many less valuable build
ings could be better sacrificed. We
have been unalterably opposed to
tearing down of the Smyrna House.
At the same time we have been de-
sirous of seeing a Federal Building
go up in our midst. We should like
nightly to see the old Hotel stand,
and if our business men and capi.
talists would only get together il
is not too late to save it. At the
same time let US have tht
Federal Building. Smyrna is fortu
nate indeed in even getting look
i'm on Federal Building for it
own use, and let US not balk it.

Wool Bill Passes House.

BY a vote of 221 to 100 the house
Of representative at Washington has
passed the Democratic wool revision
bill. The announcement of the result
was greeted with great applause by
the Democrats, who gave Representa-
tive Underwood, of Alabama, the ma
jority leader, an ovation as he stood
in his place to make the final motion
following the formal passage Of the
bill.

Locusts DELAY Trains.

Delayed by locusts on the rails" is
now common excuse of locomotive
enginemen when called on to explain
delays at Newton, N. J.
So many seventeen-year locusts
have Overrun Warren and Sussex
counties that the driving wheels of
heavily loaded locomotives are unable
to grip the rails.
