The United Pub
FRIDAY. MAR. IL IeH
THE PREACHERS ARE WITH us.

IT HE Methodist brethren are with this week.
n bless them, and may their sojourn in this
city be both pleasant and profitable and their en-
tertainers be given to hospitality which St
Paul enjoins
II is great time for the minister's this confer
ence This year there seems 10 be nothing TO dis
turb the serenity of the sessions. There is peace
and JOY, we trust among the ministers and their
congregations.
The conference is important because the Metho
dist is the dominant religious denomination on
the peninsula Delaware was the birthplace of
Methodism in this country and for years it has
maintained its supremacy in our State Upon its
teachings and principles and its strict code OF lie
depend the moral and spiritual welfare of a large
proportion of our population. 1t is great force
for good in Delaware.
The ministry is composed of an earnest and self
sacrificing body Of men. Temporal rewards of
great value are not TO the average Methodist
preacher in Delaware. His salary usually is small,
and he is often troubled TO make both ends meet.
His only reward is in the satisfaction of life
we'll spent and a service we'll rendered, and after
all what could be a higher aim in lifeP II is
ptv though that the ministers do not receive
larger temporal rewards, for the small compensa-
tion which many of them get is a reflection upon
the communities they serves Without religious
influences this would be poor world in which to
live. The church fills place that no other force
could occupy.
Conference furnishes common meeting ground
for the large number of preachers 1t is time
OF renewing old acquaintance and of forming new
ones 1t is an occasion OF pleasant social inter-
we'll as of business. We trust the min
listers will have good time" in Wilmington and
that they will receive appointments which will be
satisfactory. If we had our way all of them would
have good appointments and chicken to eat as
often as they wished

Editorial Opinion
In Oklahoma.


Kansas City Star.
Oklahoma furnishes a text for Mr..
Roosevelt in his latest article ia the
Outlook on "Nationalism and the Ju-
dietary" He is criticising what he
calls a merely mechanical jurispru-
dence" which regards the letter rather
than the spirit OF the law, and he
cites the case of the two stolen piano
las which We're described in the in
dictment as pianos" A new trial was
ordered because of that and then the
court became convinced that pianos
and pianolas we're the same thing and
the prisoner was discharged on the
ground that he could not be tried
twice for the same offense.
"A reading of these decisions" Mr..
Roosevelt says, makes one feel pro-
foundly grateful TO the Supreme Court
in Oklahoma for its opinion-rathor
breezily expressed--in a case where
il very sensibly refused to grant new
trial because useless word had been
omitted from the indictment"
The court held that It was OF the
utmost importance that the new
States criminal Jurisprudence be
placed "on a broad and sure founda-
tion Of reason and justice, 80 that the
innocent may find It to be refuge OF
defense and protection, and that the
guilty may be convicted" Technical

The bill providing for the inclosing of the YES
tibules of trolley cars that the motormen will
be protected is a good measure that will be ap-
proved by those who daily witness the inconven-
fence and discomfort of the men who handle the
cars in ali kinds of weather, day and night The
companies, however, should be given ample time
TO equip their cars if the bill becomes a law for
the expense would be considerable There is no
disposition to work hardship on the companies in
this matter but the lives of the conductors and
motormen should be made a little more bearable
during the winter season and the proposed law
has that object in view. We are confident that
the patrons of the companies approve it,

WITH THE sKEpTICs.

g. ONE of our friends, and believe they are
~ good friends at that, saying that there
is something big behind the dupont road offer,
that something will surely happen by which great
deal of money will be made by Mr.. DUPONT or the
company that he would organize. The skeptics
are still ION the job You know" they say,
that something awful will happen"
Well, we don't know anything of the kind We
have been trying to find out if the proposition is
loaded" but have not had information that would
make us believe that there is anything hidden. The
unusual nature of the offer--to build good
road is perhaps the one thing that has caused the
most talk.
Many rich men have given outright large sums
of money for educational and charitable work
without suspicious of selfish motives being at
tached to them. 1t is true that along with the
offer Mr.. dupont has asked for certain "conces-
sions" which at first appeared large, but when it
became understood that these concessions" we're
such that any other corporation could get
without much trouble expense they did not seem
so large
The plan of Mr.. dupont it seems is primarily
TO develop Delaware. We cannot believe that he
has great money making scheme in mind, for if
his word be taken as true as we'll as that of
his friends, some of whom like Mr.. Richards and
Mr.. Hastings giving their legal services free,
there is nothing loaded in the scheme
III there should be, Mr. DUPONT would be placed
in very unenviable position position far from
one which think any honorable man would
care to occupy. 1t would mean that under guise
of doing something good for the State a big
business deal had been pulled off,
We cannot imagine why good road project
should have been involved in such deal, for the
lawyers who are familiar with the matter declare
that If Mr. dupont had merely business venture
IN mind he could have organized his company and
secured under the laws of the State franchises
which would have cost him a trihe as compared
with the expense of building highway.

SELF INTEREST AND THE HIGHWAY.

a GLANCE at the census returns of the State
4 it seems to us should convince the patriots
of Delaware that our State is not making the pro-
gress that she should make.
Outside of Wilmington there has been little if
any real growth, certainly not the growth that we
should expect We should think that sef-inter-
est human selhshness, would impe all owners Of
property in Delaware to urge Improvements, for
only by improvements can there be progress and
increased wealth.
The way is thrown open for Delaware to enter
upon a sane and safe path of progress. The du-
Pont road offer if accepted would mean the be-
ginning of such progress.
Illustrating how this is looked at by some peo-
pie, we make mention of a rumor that one land
owner in Delaware has written to a State Sena-
tor wanting 10 know who would pay ror the fenc-
ing of his land if the DUPONT road should come
through his property.
Contrasted with this is the statement of Mr.
John F ONeal, whose letter we printed the other
day He said he would willingly give land valued
up to S2500 if the road should pass by his pro-
perty We do not think the great majority of peg
pie would be like the man disturbed by thoughts
OF fencing, or progressive as Mr. ONeal but
there is certainly A medium class that ought to
appreciate what good highway through the
State would mean for the development of Della
ware.

election should hedge in city election. The bill
that has the support of the Department of Elec-
tions in this city is designed to have the courts
canvass the vote. Under the present method any
unscrupulous persons could make away with the
ballots after election and cause trouble We
presume that the Democrats are disposed to 60 up
against the bill because it is offered by Republi-
cans, but as the Republicans have led the way on
election reforms in this State we do not see why
the Democrats should object to the present bill

CARE OF TIMBER LANDS.

HE HOUSE at Dover has passed bill TO tax
Il timber land for school purposes. At first
this seems to be a good measure, but there are
some valid reasons why the bill should not be
passed by the Senate
There is not much timber land in Sussex county
Its area is becoming smaller and smaller all the
time. tax on such land would in all probability
result in bringing it into the market and it would
not be very long before Sussex county would be
denuded of her timber land
Other States are carefully guarding their tim
Der tracts. The woods desirable from every
point of view. Trees have potent effect on the
soil Some of our fruit growers have held to the
opinion that the destruction of forests in Della
ware has been of the causes of the failure Of
the State TO produce peaches as it once did
We don't know how much Of truth there is in
this theory, but it is well authenticated fact that
forests and trees do effect the soil What we have
remaining Of forests should be preserved. There
should be no Encouragement to the holding of
timber lands If the object of the change in the
law is merely TO bring the timber lands on the
market, The Journal thinks the Senate should well
hesitate before making it, The timber lands of
the State are one of its resources and everything
reasonable should be done to conserve them.

By refarbn e to the proceedings
of the Ounty commissioners it will
be seen that the board entered into
a contract with Rock we'll & Sutton
to change the door between the
jury room and 'urt room in the
new courthouse. AS this is likely
to cause people to wonder why 1t is
necessary to make changes in the
building so som after It's
completion and before it is oc-
cupied we interviewed Commits.

change is necessary in order to

put in a more massive door than
the one provided in the original
plans. The contract price of the
change is $50.
Another contract that may
cause comment is the, one relating
to the repair and installation Of
electri: light fixtures. That is
merely a contract with Rockwell
and Sutton in which they agree to
install the electric light fixtures
and KEEP them in repair for one
year, except as to the brcakage Of

COUNTY NEEDS MONEY

The commissioners have asked
the state revenue board for per-
mission to borrow $4,000 to tide
the county over until the taxes are
paid in December. AccO riding to
the books of the county auditor,
there were $16,456 81 in the
general County fund On the first of
August. The bills allo 4 ed at the
August meeting of the board will
use up fully half of that amount.
This leaves the expense of a
session of the district court, the
furniture and electric light
fixtures for the courthouse and
the running expenses of the
county to be paid out Of tn e

FOUND: NO .CLEWS

District Attorney Dysart.
Deputy Sheriff Crtchley and Ted
CarVille have. returned from
Mound valley, where they went to
investigate the burning of the hay
on Mr.. Carvllle's ranch. They
made a thorough investigation of
the fire but were unable to find
any clew that leads to the parties
that set fire to the hay. The
burned hay belonged to MIR. White
who has a lease on the ranch and
not to Mr.. Carville. Mr.. White is
at a loss to account for the fire
as he is on good terms with the
people of the valley and so far as
he knows has no enemies among
them. ..... ....,...
Only two Of the hay corrals were
burned instead of three as first
reported. There were four stacks
in one and one in the other. The
five stacks contained about $50
tons.
The Investigation of the fire will
continue and we hope it will
result in the arrest and punish
ment of the guilty party.
