THE magnificent offer of Genera.
du Pont Of public highway bull
from good road materials, and afte1
the modern methods of good road
building, has been accepted by the
Legislature without change of his
last proposition. This was not done
without an attempt to defeat the
bill in the Senate, where twenty
one amendments of trivial charac.
ter were to have been presented by
Senator Drexler, which had been
drawn at the suggestion of Willard
Salisbury by James H. Hughes
and Henry Ridgely, Of Dover, but
by the astute leadership Of Senator
Monaghan the matter was prevent
ed from taking a bitter partisan
course, and the opponents were
saved from themselves. This road
will do more for the improvement
Of Delaware than all the efforts put
forth by any other interest, or in
terests now operating in the State.
All honor to the men, both Demo
crats and Republicans, who have
stood for the progress of Delaware;
to those who were so narrow of
mind as to oppose the generous
offer, the curtain Of time may pos
sibly bring back once more a SEM
blance of confidence in their sin
cerity and patriotic spirit sufficient
for the people to trust them in some
irresponsible position in the public
service. Let's now look to the
future, and hope that the new road |
will be completed soon, and that
General dupont may live for many

NEWTON L. GRUBB, the success
soT to James Shallcross as a mem
Der of the State Board Of Agricul-
ture, is another excellent appoint
ment, and about the only objection
we ould'pOssibly have to it, is the
fact that the Every Evening has so
heartily approved his selection by
the Governor. But Newton Grubb
is of the progressive, thinking
branch Of Delaware farmers, and
regardless of the Every Evening
handicap, he will make good.

THE appointment Of George H.
Hall as Comptroller Of Sussex
County assures the people Of this
county that there will be an end OF
the wasteful methods Of expending
the taxes Of the people, which has
prevailed in the past. George H.
Hall is first Of all a business man,
and with this he has the nerve to
carry into effect business princi-
pies, even though the old systems
may be overturned. or even person
al friends may feel the squeeze Of
practical business methods as ap-
piled to public affairs. This is
another proof OF the ability Of Gov
ernOr Pennewill to size up and Sc
lect able and just men for import
ant offices. If the Kent appoint
ment is along the same lines, the
people of that county may well feel
grateful to the Legislature for the
new law, and to the Governor for
ais appointment.

State Democratic leaders already are
planning for the organization of the
Senate and Houss of Delegates. Blair
Lee looms up strongly for the presidency
of the Senate. of which he has been a
memser for three sessions. Senator
Price, who has been reelected in Wicom-
leo, and who is close personal and poll
teal friend of Senator German, may be
candidate, as may Senator Moore, of
Worcester. who has served longer than
any other member.
For speaker Of the House of Delegates
Dawkins. of Baltimore; Osborn, of Har-
ford, and Marbury, of Prince Georges are
being prominently mentioned. Marbury
and Osborn were mentioned in advance
of the election as favorable candidates for
the speakership. The Baltimore city
delegation will probably put forward
Trippe as can iidate.

Mahon's Baltimore city election crooks

of the defeat of their candidate for Gov

by them in the primaries, is tine an
nouncement that the ballot boxes used in

About Closed Rooms.

Don't sleep in closed room.
The lungs utilize all the oxygen
they breathe and expel their i'm
purities in your exhalations.
Fresh air is the basic requisite OF
good health. A sealed chamber is
a breeding place of disease.
Within an hou- a man consumes
all the oxygen in the average room.
If the windows and transom are
down and the door is shut, there
after he breathes foul poisons.
Rural communities should, by
reason of natural advantages, be
practically immune from the
swhite plague" but statistics show
a greater percentage of consump.
tives among farmers than any other
class of people.
Who isn't familiar with the
deadly parlor with its stale atmos-
phere, where for days at a stretch
whole generations of malignant
germs are permitted to incubate
undisturbed? A week often passes
without the admission of sunlight.
AS well spend an afternoon in a
smoke filled tunnel as remain in
such pest hole.

How to be an Editor.

Most any one can be an editor.
All the editor has to do is to sit at
a desk six days out of the week,
four weeks of the month and
twelve months of the year and
''edit" such stuff as this: "Mrs.
Jones of Cactus Creek let a can
opener slip last week and cut her
self in the pantry" "A mis-.
chievous lad of Piketown threw a
stone and struck Mr.. Pike in the
alley last Tuesday" ''John Doe
climbed on the roof of his house
last week looking for leak and
fell, striking himself on the back
porch. !" awhile Harold Green
was escorting Miss Violet Wise
from the church social last Satur-
day night savage dog attacked
them ami bit Mr.. Green several
times on the public square. :"
''Isaiah Trimmer of Running Creek
was playing with a cat Friday
when in scratched him on the
veranda" "Mr. Long while
Harvesting broncho last Saturday
was kicked just south of his corn
patch. .
Yes it's a wonder they draw
salaries for it.

ditions whenever he elects to do So, by
doing as all other interests have done,
organizing and standing by one another's

champion of the farmers rights; it is one
of the permanent institutions of the
country. 1t is local, state and national
in its character. 1t is represented in
more than thirty states. 1t has accomp-
lished more in legislation for the farmer

To Clip New Governors Wings.

According to report the democrats are
laying lines to make rough Shedding for
the republican Governor.elect Colds
borough, and have arranged frame-up
whereby his appointive powers will be
greatly limited.
They intend. if possible. to retain CON
troll OF the election machinery ty the
creation of a State Board of Election
Supervisors who will appoint supervisors
for all the counties and Baltimore CITY.
The first supervisors are to be named in
the act creating the board, one for two
years, Republican; one for four years, a
Democrat, and one for six years. Demo-
|crat. Afetr that the supervisors will be
elected, one every two years
1t also is planned to enlarge the powers
of the State Board of Educatior, giving it
authorit, toappoint school commission
ers for all the counties and to take from
the Governor the power to appoin, the
police commissioners for Baltimore and
lodge that power in the Legis allure,
where it was lodged until 1000. The
same plan may be pursued by the Demo
Gratis to retain control of the Liquor Lii
cense Board, of the State Roads Com
mission and of other important positions.
If this program be carried through as de-
signed, Governor Goldsborough will be
powerless to remove the officials thus
chosen.
1t Is proposed to rush this program
through the General Assembly during its
first week, while Governor Crothers still
is Governor and before Governor Colds
borough isinaugurated. Under the State
Constitution the General Assembly is re-
quired to meet on the first Wednesday of
January, while the .secoud Wednesday is
the date for the Inauguration of the next
Governor There will be. therefor an
entire week during which the Democrats
can railroad through any bill they desire
and uponswhich they can stand together.
The political complexion of the next
House of Delegates will be 60 Democrats
aid AZ Republicans. while in the Senate
there will be 10 Democrats and Repub.
licans. The Democratic majority in the
Senate will be larger than it has been for
years, while in the House it will be slight
ly less than it was at the past two sessions.
In the Senate the Democrats have far
more than three-fifths majority. which
|is enough to override Governors veto,
but in the House of Delegates they lack
two votes of such majority.
