GRAND OPPORTUNITY FOR DELAWARE.

he interest displayed by Mr. T. Coleman du-
- pont in the proposed State highway is the
most remarkable manifestation of public spirit
that has been witnessed in Delaware for many
day. We do not believe that the history of the
State furnishes similar example.
Here is a man who came to Delaware from
another State and offers TO contribute the
of 100000 for a State purpose, the construction
of good road If the other suggestion he makes
about raising the money to pay for the building
of the road is not adopted, Mr. DUPONT offers TO
donate this large amount. If Mr.. DUPONT had
valuable holdings in real estate along the line of
the proposed State road, he would get directly
some of the benefits of improved highways, but
doubt whether he owns foot Of land in rural
New Castle county, below Wilmington, or in Kent
or Sussex counties which would be traversed by
the good road
Since he has been a resident of Delaware, Mr..
DUPONT has become convinced of the possibilities
of this State. He has grasped those possibilities
much quicker than the residents of the State
have done Coming from a distant State he has
seen the acres of diamonds" before the doors of
the people of Delaware.
II such plan as that Mr. dupont has in mind
we're TO be adopted, the consequences would be
momentous Imagine one Of the finest highways
in the United States with beautiful trees along
each side with life and travel and pleasure, and
good fellowship that such a highway would bring
Imagine now such a highway would stimulate
every property owner along the way TO keep his
property in the best of condition. The dream of
Delaware as a garden spot would be realized.
If the present Legislature adjourns without pro-
viding for good highway, Delaware might as
we'll build a wall around itself and go into a
long sleep. No other State ever had such oppor-
tunities thrown at her.
There is lesson TO be learned from Mr.. du-
Points offer. Many other public men and rich
men have looked upon a commonwealth as a
community to be exploited TO FIJI their own pocket
books and TO be squeezed. If the community or
the State wants anything, men of this stamp see
how much money they can force the community
TO pay for IT, If there is any way by which Leg
isature can be manipulated TO bring gain into
their own pockets they try so TO manipulate it,
If the county decides TO spend the money of the
people for good roads they see that the good roads
built in front of their own properties for their
own convenience and not in a way for the general
/ good AS 2 consequence of this policy we have
/ an uncompeted good road from Wilmington to
! Duck Creek
But here comes man, Mr.. DUPONT, with two
offers. One OF the plans may be all right when
! it is understood, although it seems TO us little
complicated, and the other is an offer TO contri-
butte 100000 for road building
The average Delawaresn must be rubbing his
eyes when he thinks of the good road situation.

Saving Cllnninrs


Newspapers are the greatest and
most inexpensive storehouse Of cur
rent information known, and yet the
average reader scans his fayorite jour-
nal hurriedly and casts 1t aside, at
taching only momentary value to the
important facts set forth therein. Here
and there may be found readers of a
different sort, men and women who
realize the vastly educative nature of
some newspaper articles, and keep
them for reference purposes. But aside
from the persons who collect in this
manner data on subjects of special in
terest TO themselves, there are not
many who thus make use of the news
paper. Perhaps It never has occurred
TO some men and women that jokes
and illustrated fashion articles are
only a portion of the newspaper mat
ter that is worthy Of preservation.
All things considered. it might not
be unreasonable TO propose that every
household have it's own clipping bu-
reau, devoted to the family's present
and prospective needs, available for
ready reference on any subject from
cooking recipes to school composition
subjects. Intelligent selection. CLASH
fication and indexing of material for
such an institution would make it a
valuable adjunct TO the family library,
and It would occupy only a small
amount of space. At first the clip
pings might be grouped in large en-
velopes under the general designations

THE NEWARK LEASE MATTER.

HE appeal of Mr. J. Wilkins Cooch concern
n ing the lease of the Newark lighting and
water piant to hastily formed private company
which evidently sees fat purse in operating the
properties will no doubt stir up the residents of
the college TOWN to 60 to any length to thwart
the scheme. The lease seems TO have been the
outcome of an application of the worst meth
DDS of bad city politics 10 a small town. some
thing new in Delaware.
If the points made by Mr. Cooch are correct
and We have 10 reason TO doubt them-the lease
is surely bad thing for Newark 1t is like the
handle of jug, on one side.
The fact that one member of Council helped to
make the terms of the lease and then resigned TO
form company to reap the benefit of the terms
is enough to condemn the entire scheme on sight
How foolish the entire lease is, and what rehec-
ton il would be on the good people of Newark
If it should be said that in a town of its size
presumably without the bad influences that per-
meate city politics, the people so careless or
incompetent that they had to turn over the light
ing ant water plants TO private concern.
Mr.. Cooch mentions that the new company
would have a monopoly of 20 years and that
other companies would be prohibited from enter
ing the town during the period of the lease. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a thought here of the old notion
OF competition, that If the present company should
not serve the people epropery, a new company
should be given franchises. The idea of com.
petition in public service corporations is a vain
ana iooliSh tnlng. The monopoly privilege alone
would not be so bad if the company which took
hold of the plants we're regulated by a public
service commission. This of course is assuming
that lease is desirable which it is not No body Of
intelligent citizens should for a moment toler-
ate the surrender of public utility already own
ed by the town TO a private company on terms
so Instantaneous or on any other terms.
The good people Of Newark must feel as the
good people of Wilmington would feel if City
Council should lease our water department to a
private corporation.

IL was rather an odd coincidence that in the
same issue Of The Journal in which the Republican
members OF the Legislature urged to show
more activity in presenting and considering leg
islaicn there should have been signs of unusual
activity Mr. Moore yesterday took up the ques-
ton of validating the present city government
of Wilmington, and that measure should be passed
soon as SIS possible Senator Miller and Rep
resentative White also became active, and the
prospects that legislation will be pushed more
rapidly than il has been. The good roads and the
public utilities measures should not be lost sight
of for a moment during the remaining days of the
session.

TUESDAY, FEB. I.IeII
SHOULD "SHELL OUT"

HE hospital talk in Kent county has been
a revived and the Legislature is appealed TO
for aid, bur there ought TO be enough men of pub
lie spirit in Kent TO build hospital without hav-
ing to rely on the State for funds.
Although much can be said in praise of hospi-
tails even IN small towns, some physicians have not
a high regard for them. These physicians think
that in big cities alone are hospitals feasible.
Kent and Sussex, however, might unite on one
hospital at a central point and il seems to us
that Milford would be the proper place. There
certainly should not be two hospitals in the lower
counties. 500.
One is as much as could be supported, and the
disposition 10 appeal TO the State for support at
the beginning may be taken an indication that
such appeals would become constant if the hos
pital we're established.
Why don't some Of the apple kings who are
reported 20 be rolling in wealth shell OUT by
contributing to a hospital fund? Not that there
is any direct connection between apples and hos
pitfalls, but when men get money in large quantities
nowadays they supposed 10 give a little of
j; TO the support of public institutions and char
itanle work. We have been hearing that the big
cotere of apple kings have been getting money
by the bushel The same may be said of the
strawberry and various other kings of Sussex.
The banks have swelled with their deposits If
all this is true why should the people of those
counties when they want a hospital rush to the
State for aidT Let them open up their own purses

Then, as the matter accumulated, the
lines Of classification could gradually
be drawn finer, smaller envelopes be-
ing used for the subdivisions of clip
pings, about Government, literature
and so on.
The value of such a reference Ii
brary to the boy OF girl student surely
ought to be inestimable II would pro-
vide a fund of information available
nowhere else and hardly secondary in
worth to that contained in the indexed
magazines on the shelves Of public

the clipping-bureau idea serious atten-
ton. The gathering of such a collec-
ton of data is an education in itself.
