chine was beyond his control to stop.
Five miles from where the auto
started out and half an hour before
1t did start, a saddled pony was led
around to the door of a manor house,
and Miss Irene Galbraith mounted
and galloped away. Something of an
artist she was, and she had her
sketch book with her, Two miles
down the road she found her subject.
Five COWS which were running at
large contrary to the highway laws
were standing in the middle of the
dusty road with half-closed eyes and
their tails lazily switching at the
flies. They had arranged themselves
as If for a photograph and the girl
dismounted and got out her materials
"Honk! Honk! Honk!"
Miss Galbraith had heard the sound
a thousand times before, but there
was a note in this to make her rise
to her feet. That honk was a danger
signal.
Five rods down was the river. Or

We Want a Million More.

A correspondent whose earnestness
and sincerity the Republic does not
doubt calls upon us to read a GER
tain Democrat of prominence out of

The Republic commends to the cor
respondent In question that he take

more platform, carefully compare
them, and then look up the election
figures Of 1908.
If the principles expressed In the

President Taft is pointing to his en-
forcement OF the Sherman law as an
argument for continuing the present
order. The Democrats look at Stand

they scrutinize the testimony in the

father was telephoned TO. BY the
time he arrived the son had gathered
up the threads of the case and was
ready to say to the jury:
No s talking, governor. I've got

Anything beside the leg?"

WhyAwhy, / don't understand
that the fall had affected your heart"
but 1t has. It's a case of love at
first sight, and the first sight didn't
last more'n half a second"
And where is the girl?"
Right here in the house. 1t vas
she who found me in the road and
bossed the job of getting ms here.
Say, governor, she's a girl Of sense!
l haven't had a fair look at her face
yet, but / know from her voice that
she's goodlooking. I'd have smashed
up five COWS as well as myself, and
the machine if it hadn't been for the
girl"
we must now get you home" said
the father In very sober tones.
Cant be done, governor. Here I
stay till the leg mends and I've got
the promise of that girl to be my
wife"
Young man, this seems to have af-
fected your brain
1T has affected me all over. Say.
governor, I'm a lawyer, am l not?"
"A very young and tender one"
"But l know what a breach-of-prom-
Use suit is, and l don't propose to
stand in the dock"
Harold Inlay, what can you
mean?"
Governor, when l saw those cows
blocking the narrow highway and
realized what a butcher shop it would
be If the. girl didn't move them on, l
vowed to marry her If she did the
right thing. She did it, and I'll keep
my word"
"Um! I'm! l think I can arrange
for you to be cared for here for a few
days, but my boy, don't get any fool
notions In your head. Remember that
you are just entering upon your
career as a lawyer" :
1t was three days later before the
patient caught sight of Miss Irene.
The doctor had said that it would be
better If the young man could remain
there for a few days, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Galbraith had readily consented.
A professional nurse had taken charge
and the family vas not to be put out
to any extent. When the young man
expressed his thanks in appropriate
words he asked Of the girl:
"How many cows were there?"
Five"
"And how fast was l going"
1T looked like two or three hundred
miles a minute to me-"
"And if I'd struck that bunch Of
beef at that gait?"
"Why-why-"
my father would have had a dead
son to bury, wouldn't he? l just
want him to look at the case on its
merits, you know. AS a lawyer, he is
naturally biased. If there had been
only n COW, now, and she in poor
condition, but there were five, and all
fit for beef. Father must see that
that"
Miss Irene thought the young mans
mind was wandering and called the
nurse. His mind was all there, how
ever, though it was six long weeks
and he was crutching around before
he finished the sentence by saying:
eyes, you must see that having
saved my life-and having been both
cred with me here so long-and as
this leg will be weak for some time to
come-and as I have fallen In love
with you-and as your father is in the

meet. Every business man knows

President Taft had the desire and
the moral courage to settle some of
these issues, instead of continuously
haranguing about them. At the
first part of his administration, it
was charged that he lacked decision
and frmness of mind, but the re-
cord has done away with all i'm
pressions of that kind and has es-
tablished the fact that after he has
analyzed a problem and his mind
is made up, he is immovable.

Debates are being held by the George

Gently organized. almost every week.
For each Thursday evening, the time OF
meeting, a subject that is of vital in
terest to the residents of lower Della
ware is selected, mostly on the political
issues that confront the country to-day
as well as this State and county. Next
Thursday evening the subject for dis
cussion will be Resolved, 'The Sus-
sex county should be bonded for the
purpose of properly draining the same.
This is a question that has been agl-
tating the minds of some of the leading
people of this section of the county for
years, and has been advocated by lead
ers of both political parties. The dis
cussion next Thursday night by the
Club will no doubt be interesting, for it
is likely that DR.. Layton, who is one Of
the county's most enthusiastic drainage
advocates, will take the affirmative side
of the question.
Members of the Georgetown New
Century Cub will have the pleasure of
hearing Mrs. Annie B. Scott, the lee
turer and cooking expert, on April Is.
By the payment Of nominal sum, those
who are not members of the Organiza-
tion may be able to hear the address.
Georgetown will be given one more
chance of deciding whether or not a
Chautauqua for this summer is a feast
bic project, and one that will have the
cooperation of the business people at
meeting to be held next Thursday even

Mr. Laundry are the Roza end Pascal

great size and are fine. They are vtrv
hard to bleach however and do not pay

that literature on celery growing could be

AFTER many DAYS right and truth

AFTER many days right and truth
have caused a move to be made
which has for its object, the reform
Of the present system of managing
our public roads. At the last ses-
sion of the Levy Court of Kent
county. held at Dover last Tuesday,
a delegation went before the mem
bers while in session, and with
Henry Ridgley Esq stheirspokes-
man, asked that the present prac-
tice OF appointing scores of super
visors of fpublic roads be abolished,
and in its stead that one supervisor
be named for each district in the
county. This would have several
advantages, among which would be
the confning of responsibility to
one man for the condition of the
public roads, the abolishing of
scores of petty supervisors who have
neither the time or knowledge to
give to the work, and who waste
the money in petty repairs each
year. The amount expended by
the present system is about forty
thousand dollars each year in Kent
county, and the results are not
noticeable within six months after
the work is done. The proposed |
plan would enable competent man
to devote his entire time to the work
during the year, and he would keep
the road working crews constantly
employed, and the road machinery
owned by the county would be un-
der his direct control, and Therefore
his responsibility for its careful use
would result in a great saving in
that direction. We believe that the
plan is all right, and we cOngratu-
late the Democrats who have the
foresight to see that this particular t
reform is demanded by the taxpay-
ers, and that it will take form at the
next session of the Legislature in a ,

1T is a SERIOUS CHARGE.

Charges relative to the use OF
Noney in the New York primaries TO
buy votes for Roosevelt are becoming
more and more serious.
This is not charge made by soma
one individual or newspaper, but it is
made openly by President Taft's cam
paign managers. In a statement issued
from the Taft headquarters it is posi-
lively stated that:
Further exposures of the steel trust
activities and contributions that have
stimulated the Roosevelt campaign
will have their effect on the events
of the next weeks. Men have turned
thoughuully 10 an analysis OF the
Roosevelt campaign expenditures in
New York, toward which George W.
Perkins OF the steel and harvester
companies contributed $4,000. ana
have been shocked by the disclosure
~that the $4,000 votes cast for Mt.
Roosevelt must be accounted for at
81 per head. In order to turn the at
tention of the public from this par
tculor phase OF the campaign Mr..
Roosevelts managers put out a fresh
crop of canards. chief among them one
that was designed TO stampede
southern delegates into the belief that
some of their instructed colleagues
were deserving the Taft camp. a can
