PRACTICAL ROAD WORK.

COME of the enterprisng citizens of Delaware
~ City have entered upon a campaign of self
help as regards the improvement of a town road
The county has built many fine roads in the neigh
borhood of Delaware City, but there is stretch of
bad road through the town and at its approaches.
In rainy weather this road is hardly passable. If
the bad stretch we're put in good condition, there
would be almost continuous good roads in every
direction from Delaware City.
good roads committee has been organized in
Delaware City and it has issued an appeal for
assistance. This address points out that recently
road $50 miles long was built in a western state
from sunrise to sunset This was made possible,
says the address, because every one in the vicinity
of the road contributed for that one day money,
teams or labor, and in some instances all three
They did not wait for some one else to do it.
1t is pointed out that it is hard to find worse
street than Fifth street in Delaware City after a
rain. II is proposed, with every one who can be
secured TO help TO have this street we'll graded and
covered with a surface OF cinders thick enough TO
stand the winter traffic and rains. The road is TO
be we'll rolled.
The good roads committee has begun laud-
able undertaking and The Journal trusts that sue
cess will reward their efforts. If various commit
tees would agitate the question Of good roads in
their own neighborhoods, as the Delaware City
Committee is doing, much progress could be made
in taking care of the bad patches throughout the
county

PRESIDENTS BIG TOUR.

nRESIDENT TAFT is returning East from his
Il extended Western tour well satisfied" as he
expresses it with the result of his journey. He
considers that the tour has been great success
Twenty-Five states from the Atlantic to the Pa
cihc from Massachusetts TO California have heard
the President in the past forty-hve days. Cities,
towns and villages with an aggregate population
of 100000 have entertained him, and smaller
towns with population aggregating some 100000
more, have heard him make brief rear platform
speeches. There have been 10 scheduled stops
on the trip and nearly twice as many more rear
platform" stops.
Altogether the President has made some three
hundred speeches. All of these have been confined
to seven subjects. The President started on the
trip with FIVE big speeches-peace, his explanation
of his tariff vetoes, an appreciation of the tariff
board, his attitude toward trusts and defense OF
the Supreme Court, Standard Oil and Tobacco de-
cisions
Later ne made SPEECHES on conservation and on
improvement in agriculture.
His early utfcrances on the trusts were rather
conservative, but as the trip progressed he went
further and further on this point until when he
reached Chicago, after the government suit against
the steel trust had been filed he announced un-
qualihedly that the law must be enforced
Politically the result Of the Presidents trip re-
mains TO be written in the elec oral college in
1912 But political sharps generally agree that Taft
has succeeded in fixing the attention Of the people
he has talked TO, on the next session of Congress.

FOOTBALL SEASON.

GONE OF the critics are beginning to question
- the football efficiency of the larger colleges.
Many of the games so far have shown that sue
cess does not lie in the number of students The
big institutions with their thousands, in many in
stances are unable 10 defeat the small colleges
with hundreds by large scores, if indeed to defeat
them at all This has been noticeable during the
last few years Some years ago the usual thing
was for the big universities regularly TO defeat
the smaller institutions by overwhelming scores.
Those the days before the elaborate system
OF coaching and training was in vogue. With the
present methods il would be presumed that from
five thousand it would not be difficult to pick
eleven men the superior of eleven selected from
five hundred students. Then again, the larger
institutions have the benefit of tradition and more
expert trainers.
In some of the smaller colleges the teams vary
in strength from year to year There may be
run of good players and then falling back. The
larger universities not subjected to such fluc-
tuations.
The University OF Pennsylvania, one of the larg-
est of the first class is having trying football
perience. So far the team has made poor show
ing, and if Old Penn is 10 recover and end the
with football glory there will have to be a
radical shaking up among the coaches and the
players.

JOSEPH PULITZER.

TN THE death of Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer, publisher
4 of the New York World, there passes on a re-
markable character, one who has made a lasting
impression upon the journalism Of this nation and
whose influence does not depart with his death.
The life Of Joseph Pulitzer reads like romance
1t is a splendid tribute to opportunity supported
by innate talent developed under our benefcent
institutions.
Years ago Mr. Pulitzer landed in the United
States from foreign shores, poor immigrant boy
with absolutely no prospects such as come TO the
favored of this world. He engaged in various oc-
cupations and finally drifted into newspaper work
which proved TO be his calling. His success was
marked and rapid from the beginning until he be-
came one of the richest and most noted OF news
paper proprietors.
In some respects Mr.. Pulitzer introduced new,
and what have been called senational methods into
newspaper work, and for time The World was
known in its columns chiefly as a sensational or
yellow paper But with the reaction that a few
years ago set in against this kind Of newspaper
The World changed considerably recovered what
prestige il may have lost because OF extreme SEN
sationalism, and il is regarded as a splendid
all-round newspaper. During its entire career
The World has maintained an editorial page devot-
ed to high ideals, TO the fighting of wrong and
corruption, and no could have been or could
be reader of the editorial pages OF the New York
World without being benefited thereby

fered from blindness, perhaps the greatest aElic-

Dovers Needs.

Dover Index.
We are accused Of being pessimistic
about Dover's chances of becoming a
manufacturing town. We have as
sumed no such position other than to
say that its chances are not over good
unless something is done to improve
our transportation facilities. At pres
ent we are a country town In an agri-
cultural community, and our growth
depends on the coming of retiring
farmers.
We have one railroad and no COM
petition in freight or express rates
other than a steamboat FIVE miles
away We have been trying to make
our people see the great necessity OF
two things: First, a steamboat line
TO Dover; second an effective public
service commission that has power
to regulate freight and express rates.

other town hampered as it is. grow
as an industrial town. At the ex-
pense of being called old fogy and
croaker by the State News and the
Board of Trade, we intend to voice our
views. AS we see it, it is a waste OF
energy to keep talking about greater

making no attempt to remove the OBJ
stacles in the way. VIII the State

stand for a public service commission

the fleet that President Roosevelt sent around the
