4TRACKINGv GOOD ROADS.

T 7 is just as important that good roads should
i be cared for as that they should be built
Along some OF the fine highways in New York
State and in other places, are signs at frequent
intervals, not only pointing out the direction to
places, but warning travellers to avoid tracks which
are hard good highways
AS q consequence OF such warning and care on
the part of the travelling public there are no tracks
IN the roads, but they are like a table
In some parts of Delaware where there are some
good roads tracks appear. Along the Faulk Road,
which is in fairly good condition, il seems that
great many people who use the road drive in
tracks and the tracks are distinctly marked in
many places
little thoughtfulness and care on the part OF
drivers would prevent tracking If the county
expends large sum in building good roads, the
people who use them should at least show appre-
citation sufficiently prevent the wful or thought
less tracking of the built roads
1t is like casting pearls before swine to have
good road in a community and then see a part
OF the community destroying the road by careless.
ly tracking it. Really man who deliberately
tries TO make tracks in good road should be hal
ed before magistrate and fined for the damage
be does to the property Of the county.

DISFIGuRING HIGHWAYS.

RTEw YORK has a new law with regard to ad-
In vertisements on the roads Of the state and
on private property. The law prohibits placing
advertising matter on the public highways and
everyone under the law is authorized to tear down
anything Of that nature that may be found along
the roads
1t is also made a misdemeanor punishable by fine
or Imprisonment TO post advertising matter along
the highways. Advertising cannot be placed on
private property W. out the consent of the owner.
OF course there are many instances where such
consent is obtained for a financial consideration,
but there are other cases where it is said posters
have been stuck up on private property without
the owners permission
The law was passed by the New York Legisla-
ture in response to sentiment that the high
ways have been defaced too much by posters and
bill boards and similar schemes Of advertising. 1t
would have been a good thing if the law could
have been made to prohibit bill boards even on
private property. For many years Delaware was
practically free from such dishgurements, but the
bill boards and other methods Of advertising are
! appearing along our highways.
[ Doubtless when the DUPONT boulevard is finished
| the bill board men will regard places along the
highway as highly desirable for advertising pur.
poses Bill boards along such a road would be a
[ great Disagreement, and this subject should be
considered by all those interested in maintaining
| the natural beauty Of the state. A law similar to
that enacted in New York or even more stringent
should be passed by the next session OF the Della
ware Legislature.

PARCELS POST.

A CCORDING to advices from Washington
IA prospects are bright for the enactment Of
parcels post law by the next Congress- 1t is said
that the parcels post will be earnestly recon-
mended by the President in his next message, and
it is expected that both the Democratic House and
the Republican Senate will pass such measure.
During the extra session closed recently, sub
committee Of the House inquired into the parcels
post and found a strong sentiment in both rural
and urban districts for parcels post The inquiry
will be resumed when Congress reconvenes, and It
is expected that recommendation will be made
before Christmas.
In the meantime another investigation is TO be
made Mr. Frank X. Lane, of the Interstate
Commerce Commissioners, has been directed by
that body TO make inquiry into the numerous COM
plants that have been forwarded TO the commits
sion about the alleged rapacty of the express COM
panies.
II is dissatisfaction with the express eompan-
les that has accelerated the sentiment for a par
cells post One thing that has halted the movement
is the fact that the railroad companies are large
" interested in the express companies and the lat
ter have served in some instances as subsidiary
feeders to the railroads.
There is likely TO be a difference of opinion as 10
how this entire matter shall be dealt with. Some
representatives in Congress insist that the ex-
press companies should be abolished that the pos
tai service should carry all matter up to certain
weight and that the railroads should be forced
to carry the remainder without any Intermediary
