Despite the jeremiads of those who

The outcome justifes optimism, as
it always does. Optimism. based upon
the operations of nature, is pretty
soundly based, and those who have
been inclined to doubt as to the sum-
mer pulling through all right may be
assured that the average rainfall will
be normal. the average sunshine nor
NAL and the average comfirt Of the

asked. II Is too bad that some fren-

shutting off the mortal coil as soon
as the temperature gets above ninety

THE STATE ROAD IN KENT.

a WRITER in the Dover News urges that the
L State road in Kent county be turned into
the boulevard as far practical Some time ago
The Journal mentioned the State road as highly
desirable, and there are many points in its favor.
The points advanced by the Dover writer are
well worth considering:
First, II is already a hard settled road.
Second, The State would only have road instead
Of two TO keep up.
Third, No fencing would be required II new route
chosen 200 miles OF fencing would be
Fourth. Gen DUPONT would acquire the width of the
State road without The only additional cost would
be the additional width
Fifth, All bridges now in could be used and they
need only to be widened. The would apply to
causeways mill ponds
Sixth Many miles of the State road already fine
especially in New Castle County.
Seventh. No ones farm Will be injured II the boule-
ward follows the State Road By widening the said
State Road and making it a boulevard every mans
farm will be enhanced in value and nearly farm
will It,
Public opinion would be strong for the State Road
that Cen DUPONT would be called upon pay very little
for damages
Another point to be kept in mind is that if
an entire new road in Kent is built, there will be
no improvement in the present State road for
some time to come at least.

WHAT WE TAKE
WITH US
BY The REV. r. L. JACKSON

The average minister of the Cos
pei is asked to preach upon a great
variety of subjects, but upon one sub
1ect sermons are seldom if ever re-
quested, namely, THE inevitableness
OF death" No man, sick or well, rich
or poor, especially cares to be told
that he is mortal If you can con-
scientiously inform him that he will
not be due IN the next world until
he Is we'll up in his eighties he will
most gladly bless you, for the infor-
nation sort Of imparts to him a glow
of earthly Immortality. Now whether
We relish IL or not, sooner or later
we all must depart this life and what
is more, the goods and chattels that
we have so laboriously accumulated
will form no part of our baggage.
Those good stocks that pay you such
handsome dividends will stay behind.
That fine piece of property you ac-
Qtlired will continue to be part and

loved househould gods will remain
where they are.

shrivelled thing that you take into the
presence of God. If II is large and

soul that you offer your Creator. How
many a man who had the finest kind
of earthly rating will get only a
series Of ciphers as his heavenly rat
ing. How many a woman who was
socially plus here will be socially
minus hereafter.
Many men and women today live in
utter oblivion of the possibilities of a
fate like this. They spend their days
in gathering the wherewithal to use
for the pampering of their bodies, and
suffer their souls to grow so small in
the process that only a being with an
eye for the microscopic can discern
them with any distinctness. This is
not plea for aeceticism. It is a plea
for a scale of values that gives the
supreme place to the immortal part
of us, namely the soul.

around us a mass of things we must
sooner or later leave behind, but 70
build up an inner spiritual life, to
fashion a soul of such generous pro-
portions and noble beauty as to be a
genuine addition to the heavenly
world.

EVADuNG TAXES.

G ONE men concerned about the growth Of Will
~ mington say that it is retarded because peo-
pie who have property that could be used for fac
tories hold il at so high a figure that prospective
purchasers are scared off. They don't come here
because property is so high. On the other hand
Others say that they know Of instances where pro-
perty is offered at reasonable rates.
Every other city which is a contender for new
factories has more or less of this trouble although
in some of the new places free sites are offered
for factories.
But this is not the point that we have specially
in mind. Along with the statement that some per-
sons hold their land at high figures are assertions
that much of the land so held is exempt from
city taxation. This ought not to be- for surely If
land is held at figures high that manufacturers
are frightened away il is land that should be as
sessed for its full value, assessed at the figures at
which il is offered for sale
II land we're so taxed, the holders would be
more willing TO dispose Of it. At any rate. il
should be taxed. Land held for speculative pur-
poses should pay its full share of taxes and il
would not be bad idea If it we're taxed for realiy
more than il is worth.

OUR NEW CITY CHARTER
By George H. Dole.

There are those who hope that the
new city charter, when ready for sub
mission to the people, will provide for
that efficiency of service which will
commend itself to our counties and
State. The efficiency of service de-
sired is not thing wholly of the i'm
aginauon. Other countries have Sc
cured it,, What it is, may be seen by
comparison. The German states and
the Imperial Government own and
operate mines, lands. railroads, ship
pings and other properties, valued at
seven billion dollars. The income on
these industries in 1908 netted thirty
eight per centum of all national ex-
penses. How are these government
enterprises made so efficient in earn
ing power? They are each under the
management of experts, whose life
occupation is their government office
Inc government Offices are provided
Tor according to the principles OF
civil service and permanent employ
ment The chiefs of departments are
paid from seventeen hundred to three
thousand dollars year. There is one
office of this character that pays
more The chief manager of the AL
sace-Lorraine railway system receives
thirty-three hundred and seventy-five
dollars per year. Corporations in
this country pay twenty-five, fifty, and
hundred thousand dollars for the
same service. Frequently chiefs in
government bureaus are offered many
times the-amount that they receive il
they will leave the public service. and
engage with private companies; but
the public office is preferred because
II is life work and an honored SER
vice.
Contrast this with the American
method Of filling government offices.
We will not be obliged to go far.
There are public offices in our own
city where clerical officer receives
more than a Judge on the Supreme
bench, and besides has deputies who
are paid by the people for doing the
work. This system, or rather lack of
system. originated through politics,
the heads Of departments being given
office for political service. Such ofi-
GERS being unqualified. or indisposed,
or having some other regular business
occupying their attention, needed COM
petent help, for which help offices
were created at public expense. Poll
