the special election to be held May 3,
whereby the corporations. both domes-

the constitution in order that they may
escape the jurisdiction of state courts.
Mr.. Salyer said: ITO those familiar
with the last two attempts by the rail-
road interest to amend section nine
article nine of the state constitution
and their subsequent defeat, it is not
surprising that the corporate interest,
knowing they could never win in a fair
fight. have adopted the usual tactics of
beaten foe and are endeavoring by ,
subterfuge to obtain that which the
people do not want them to have.
Eternal vigilence is the price of liberty
and the people of Oklahoma are awake
to the conditions which confront them
and are determined that these great in
terests, that live only by greed and for
gold shall not strangle them in their
efforts to build in the new state :.

COUNTY ROADS.

TT THE newspapers of the lower counties con-
tinuo their agitation for better roads, VIC pre-
sumo that some time the farmers and other cti-
zens will consider this matter in earnest and work
q reform in the method of caring for the roads
The Milford Chronicle declares that the road
system OF Delaware, especially in the lower ooun-
tics, is full OF rottenness Every tax payer admits
It, and yet there is no systematic effort to bring
about change.
The people of Kent and Sussex counties, ac-
oordng TO the Chronicle, spend fully thirty thou
sand dollars for so-caed road repairs
The Chronicle adds that enough influence has
been brought to bear on Legislatures by the petty
officials of the two Levy Courts to prevent the
enactment Of laws that would change the system
The Chronicle thinks that matters might be bet
tered by the substitution of the five commission
ers system for the Levy Court who would provide
for a competent county engineer
mere change from the Levy Court to the five
commissioners plan would not be of much practi.
cal benefit for the commissioners might not be
any better than the Levy Court. Each county
should have competent road engineer A sys-
tematic effort should be made to improve the
county roads and TO see that the residents of the
counties get the worth of their money paid in taxes
In connection with this, il is we'll TO keep in
mind that 1t good roads arc built they should be
maintained or the money spent for them is wasted
Some of the roads in this county do not receive
the attention they should receive
The problem Of caring for roads requires con-
slant vigilance on the part Of the tax PAYERS The
erangers in the lower counties should have suff-
cent influence to bring about change in the
system OF caring for the county roads Their
care should not be matter Of petty politics as
it evidently is.

IrNCLE SAM AND BUSINESS.

GONE newspapers and public men that are usu-
- ally classified as representing so-called Wall
street interests are continually declaring that big
business should be let alone, that the agitation
which has resulted in various actions at law on the
part of the government should cease.
One of them thinks the common law is sufficient
"a deal with big business another believes that the
Attorney General Of a state could perform the
duties that a railroad commission performs.
All sorts Of arguments arc advanced, which are
hut thinlv veiled attempts TO create public SEN
timent in favor Of permitting big business to
escape all regulation by the government and to
become really predatory and lawlesS force amass-
ING wealth regardless of its relations TO the people.
Ii is plainly evident that such a program will
fail as it ought TO fail, for it takes no account of
the vast changes in our industrial development,
changes which put the relations between concen-
trated capital and the government which is the
people, in a new light
Agitation of matters pertaining to business, if
kept up continually, works harm to business, and
the hope Of those who wish business peace, and at
the same time realize the changed conditions OF
industry during the past few years, is that the ag-
tation shall result in a settlement as soon pos
sble Of the relations between the government and
big business. Dropping the agitation, retreating
by the government would leave the whole question
up in the air and simply prolong the agony The
question will never be settled until it is settled
right For that reason the sooner laws defining the
relations between the government and big busi-
ness are changed to meet the requirements of fair
ness, or new laws arc made, the better it will be.
What is wanted is a clear and definite under
standing as TO just what big business can do but
instead of that We seem to have obscure decisions
of the courts, hidden under the word reasonable "
which leaves big business in quandary as to what
its rights arc and at the same time confuses and
befogs the people causing them to strike for a
larger agitation that means a continuance of the
harmful uncertainty, Clear headed men in Con-
gress should work for clear laws, but the great
difficulty is that politics is disposed to make a
football Of business.

Labor Not Plentiful.

Milford Chronicle.
What has become Of the labor
which was once plenty all over the
country? In the state Of Georgia It
has been found difficult TO get mon
to work on the public highways, and
the same situation is experienced
hero in Delaware by the so-callod
road Overseers who have charge Of
wasting the money on our public
roads, and they assign as part Of
their failure to get good results from
tho expenditure of the public money,
that men cannot be mad 20 do the
work at the proper season. We have
a bells that this part of the matter
is true, and this brings US back 20
the original question. There is one
supply which would be available
were the laws so amended as 70 per-
nit getting at this supply Of much
needed labor. and that source is the
convict labor We have in the work
house and the county jail on short
terms. Lets put the criminal class
70 doing the kind of work that our
general labor seems not 10 care to do.
and get a benefit a. the same time
from what il costs to- maintain the
criminals during their terms of im-
prisonment. This will solve part II
the labor question for our public
roads az least.

There is no substantial reason why this land,

should be exempt from taxation, and Council
should force the owners of the property TO pay

If it is found that this land is exempt from

DISORDER IN TOWNS.

ATOw and then complaint is heard from some
Of the Delaware towns about disorder and
lawlessness. The lesser evil of corner lounging
is prevalent.
The Delmar News mentions disorder and i'm
morality the parading of the streets late on Sat-
urday nights by the awlesS element Men get
liquor somewhere and somehow, it says. There
are no saloons, but drunken men furnish dis
gusting spectacle says the News, ito thoughtless
crowds upon our Streets
All this could be remeded by a little care and
determination on the part of the town authori-
ties. II is strange that the law-abidng people of
Delaware towns should tolerate disorder and law
lesSness and rowdyism on their streets. police
man or two and magistrate who would not deal
gently with offenders would soon cleanup town.
Police regulations should be enforced as strictly
in rural town as in a city. There is no valid
reason why respectable citizens should be disturbed
by roughs and where there is such annoyance
the officials of the town are TO be censured.

DOVER's STATION.

- OMMENTINC on the fine new station erected
- by tie Delaware Railroad Company at Dover,
the Delawarean gives credit for starting the move
ment which resulted in the constructing of the
station TO the Rev. E. L. Hoffecker at tha. time
pastor Of Wesley Church, Dover and now super
ntendent of the Wilmington District, Of Confer
encc.
Mr. Hoffecker wrote letter, which was printed
IN the Delawarean October 30 9O9 calling at
tenton to the dingy railroad station at Dover and
the need for new one. From that started an
agitation for the new station which has resulted in
the fine building thrown open to the public the
othef day
The Board of Trade worked successfully for the
new station. Dover and the railroad company are
10 be congratulated upon having so handsome a
structure, and doubtless before long other towns
will have similar improvements made by the rail-
road company.
