Mr.. Bryan sits Down Again.


The Democratic party is so accus-
toned TO the depressing weight of
MT Bryan, who has perched on It's
chest now these fourteen years. that
sometimes It feels quite as IL he were
not there at all Such periods OF
light-hearted joy do not last long,
however. Mr.. Bryan himself always
ends them by one of his periodical
interviews about his possible candi-
dacy in the future.
Thus in Boston last night. No, he
was not candidate. Mr. Bryan ex-
planned. He stated that he was not
candidate and did not expect to be
candidate. Butt (Here is the sad
part of these loud denials1 But
lest the simple statement that he
was not a candidate for any office
might be misconstrued &C., SC, Mr.
Bryan begged to explain that he did
not intend to say that he had given
any pledge. &C., &C.
Il will be seen that I'm the first

most lifts the burden Of his stou:
frame from off his victim. Then

plumps himself down again-a very
solid reminder that Joy is still a feet

Editorial Opinion
The DUPONT Boulevard.
Dover News.

Dover news.
We say very cordially that we do not
believe Mr.. T. c. DUPONT, who offers
to give the State a State-long highway,
an electric railway, a foot path, a
forestry for adornment and relief
from the sun, and a half-score of pub
lie utilities, transmitted through con-
duits from a central distributing point,
can do all Of those things for moth
ing.
But we do say that he, as a citizen
of Delaware, has made the offer to
give such boulevard to the State and
as he agrees to do il free of cost lex
cept as he may later be reimbursed
from his utilities) there is nothing
for the Legislature to do but accept
the offer.
Let us take it up quickly before he
changes his mind.
There is no argument against It, no
matter how much we hold il to the
light.
The reason is--he is not going to
make the State pay dollar in inter
est or principal for the roadway or
foot way.
To be sure, he is going to charge
for his public utilities but any citizen
who doesn't want to use these, can
still have the highway and the foot
way. free.
or course we will want the mod
ern cOnveniences-gas, electricity,
oil, steam, heat telephone, telegraph,
etc, but If we want them, we natural
ly expect to pay for them. And the
more reasonable the price the more
patronage viii be enjoyed by the own
ers.

TWO GOVERNORS.

q ONERNOR WILSON of New Jersey is very
~ busy these days. He is constantly confer
ring with the Democratic members OF the New
Jersey Legislature, urging them TO keep their
pledges 20 the people. II seems that at the con-
ferences the Governor is doing most of the talk
ing Al recent conference the Governor was
on his feet for two hours explaining the primary
BILL the public utility making bill, the
rupt practices bill and the employers liability bin
Ii is said that only the first of these measures
was there any serious difference of opinion.
The activity Of Governor Wilson in comforting
with members of the Legislature is dispeasing
to those who think that the Governor should hold
aoof anJ have little or nothing TO do with influenc
ing the members Of a Legislature. Others main
tain that the Governor should use his influence
with the members of the Legislature when de-
srabe legislation is wanted. Under the custom
the Governor sends his message to the Legsla-
ture urging that certain measures be enacted.
Personal interviews with the members the part
OF Governor but an extension Of the influence
that his message is supposed to exert
In Governor Dix of New York and Governor
Wilson OF New Jersey we have two examples
one of executive non-interference and the other
ernor Dix has either practically held aloof from
the Legislature in New York or has acquiesced
in the schemes of Tamman@ Hall with the con-
sequence that the New York Legislature is still
tied up over the election of a United States SEN
ator and Tammany is plotting various raids on
the treasury.
In New Jersey a similar muddle was promised
over the election of Senator, but Governor Will
son took hold with firm hand, held the legs-
lators to the pledges of the party, the Senatorial
situation was settled long ago and the New Ier-
sey General Assembly is now engaged in import
ant legislation The people for the most part will
prefer the Wilson plan TO that of Dix.

A Friends Last Glimpse Of

BY "HoIland.,

One of the most intimate personal
and political friends in all New York
that Horace Greeley ever. had was
Charles W. GODDARD. who was a Repub-
lican Of much influence in Civil War
days, and, under the administration of
Governor Fenton, captain of the port
of New York In the late sixties of the
last century Mr.. GODDARD became can
didate for Congress, and when Mr.
Greeley was appealed TO to address a
political meeting in support of his
friend he responded with alacrity
Moreover, Mr.. GODDARD was probably
the last of the personal friends of the
great editor. outside the Immediate
members of the Greeley family and of
The Tribune staff, who saw him alive
The story Of that meeting Mr.. GODDARD

WHAT'S THE SCORE?

7 WILL not be very long before the baseball
season in this city opens and then shall
see what the people are really devoted to- Soon
the telephones will begin TO jingle with the fa-
mar question, What's the score?
Wilmington is to have team in the Tri-State
League this year. and judging by the character and
ability OF the men who are behind the club the
venture should prove profitable TO the owners
and a source of much pleasure to the admirers
of the national sport
For years il has been said that Wilmington is
fine baseball town. if it has a creditable club,
one that can maintain place in the first section
OF a league. 1t now seems probable that we shall
have club of this character and in that event
the question of whether Wilmington is a good
baseball town will be solved. At any rate the fans
are promised some excitement which they un-
doubtedy hope will be continued throughout the
summer, for admirers of baseball never tire of the
game.

Mr.. sOPER FOR THE HIGHWAY.

MIR. F. M. SOPER, a former member of the
h Legislature and one of the most prosperous
apple growers in Kent county comes to the front
OF way in Kent county for the proposed DUPONT
good road. He has offered TO give a strip of land
from his two farms necessary for the road should
it pass his property.
This is highly commendable on the part Of Mr.
Soper aud no doubt others will follow his example.
AS we understand the matter however it is by
no means certain that the DUPONT road would fol-
low the present State road. Surveys would be
made, several of them, in order to decide which
would be the best route General DUPONT has in
view road that shall be as straight as possible,
taking in the important towns But it should
be kept in mind that even if certain farms not
passed b, the good road it will be only question
1of time before all the roads in the counties will
be improved.
OF course the more free rights of way Mr.. du-
Pont his company should secure, the more he
would have to expend on actual road construction.
There have been some fears that the State would
not have anything 10 do with the road building,
but the State would have plenty 10 do in arrang-
ing for the maintenance of the road. To do this
properly, repair stations along the road should be
erected and force would constantly have TO be
employed in working on the road TO keep it in
good condition. But we fancy that this expense
would be little if any greater than the money now
frittcred away under the obsolete method OF re-
pairing the roads.

OBJECT LESSON IN ROAD BUILDING.

NDER the dupont plan the State road would
- be built by private corporation under the
direction of Mr. dupont The constructing of that
road would therefore command the same energ gy
and skill that was employed in erecting the great
DUPONT ouiliing at Tenth and Marke; streets in
this city, and the same business acumen that di-
rects the great powder making plant
This feature of the construction of the proposed
road is remarkable. The State could not employ
such ability for road construction in fact it would
not if Il could.
II Mr.. DUPONT should build the highway, we
should have an example of what a highway con-
structed by skilled engineers directed by great
private company would be like and there would

The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-11-03

With the approach of the com.
ing election for the purpose of fill
ing the vacancy caused by the
death of Ed Madison, the Seventh
District will cast a shadow which
may be taken as an Indication of
the attitude of the people next
year when the Stubbs- Curtis fight
is slated to occupy the center of
the stage. If they back Hopkins
in the primary, it will go out that
the people are still for Stubbs, as
Hopkins is essentially a Stubbs
man. If either of the other candi-
dates win, it will appear that the
Seventh District no longer wishes
to insurge with the Governor OF
Kansas. Either way, it will be an
interesting situation, tho autcome
of which will be taken as signi6-
cant by the politicians all over the
state.
