General Education Board Plans Fit
ting Tribute-Gives Nearly One
Million.

New York, May 24.-Nearly $1,000
600 was contributed to the cause Oh
education by the general educauon
board founded by John D. Rockefeller
at its meeting here today. VI lnls
sum 100000 was appropriated for dis
tribution among five colleges tne
largest contribution of S25O,OoO gong
to the George Peabody College LOT
Teachers of Nashville, Tenn, for the
establishment of Seaman A. Knapp
School of Country Life.
II is explained that the gifts to the
colleges are conditional upon an equal
sum being raised by the respective IN
stitutions.
The sum of s21O,1OO was set aside
for demonstration work in agriculture
in the Southern States, for professors
of secondary education in State uni
versities of the South, and to aid the
work of negro education in the South.
The demonstration work appropria-
ton is $4,000.
The miscellaneous appropriations
were:
For Secondary Education.
For professors of secondary educa-
ton in the several State universities
of the Southern State, s39,1O0.
For supervision of negro rural
schools in Kentucky, North Carolina
and Virginia, $4,000.
To three negro schools-Hampton
institute, Hampton, Va; Tuskegee in
stitute, Tuskegee, Ala, and the Spell
man seminary Of Atlanta, Ga.-the
sum of $4,000.
What may be regarded as the
boards most important appropriation
is for the establishment Of the Sea-
man A. Knapp School of Country Life.
The late DR.. Seaman A. Knapp had
been in charge for the past ten years
of the farmers cooperative demon
stration work in the South. In con-
nection with this gift, statement was
issued In part as follows:
"The general education board rec
ognizes that the George Peabody col
lege for teachers at Nashville, Tenn,
promises to render conspicuous and
permanent service in the promotion
of popular education through the
Southern States.
Help From Vanderbilt.
eft further recognizes that the af
flation of this institution with Van
derbilt university will greatly enhance
the value of both institutions. The
board has therefore watched with
sympathetic interest the progress of
the movement.
'"The general education board has
been interested in the promotion of
practical farming in the Southern
States and in the development of an
efficient system of rural schools. The
George Peabody college for teachers
propose to train leaders for rural
schools; not for the traditional rural
school, but for the new school which
shall meet the needs of an agricul
tural population.
"After consultation with the presi
dent and trustees of the college the
general education board now makes a
contribution of $250OOO toward the
endowment of the George Peabody
College for Teachers and for the spe-
cifc purpose of supporting the Sea-
man A. Knapp School of Country Life
For ten years the late DR.. Knapp was
the recognized leader Of the new ag-
ricultural life of the South. 1t is fit
ting that his name be associated with
the George Peabody College for
Teachers, his great work perpetuated
through this institution and his name
beside that of George Peabody.

James G. Shaw Jr. Republican candidate for Levy
Court Commissioner the Fifth district, has made
splendid campaign against Martin g. Smith, his Dem
ocratc opponent it should result in his election
He has had to contend against a hard campagner but
he so popular in the district and enjoys to such
unusual degree the esteem and confidence Of the tax
payers. that he should win the fight This is year
In which the voters in the district should make up
their minds to have the best possible representative
in the Levy Court and who will be Jealous in look
ing for the interests Of the taxpayers only Of
the Fifth district but Of all other districts in the
~ In other words they should contribute their share
toward making the next Levy Court business body,
and they cannot do that any better than by sending
a like Mr.. Shaw to represent them.

Judgment and his nomination State Treasurer has
been hailed with pleasure in all parts OF the State
lhere IS no man on the Republican ticket who is
better known or has more good friends than Col
onel Theodore Townsend candidate for State Audi
tor He is editor Of the Milford Chronicle of the
best newspapers published in Sussex county. He was
born IN Kent county in 1856 and has lived there prac
tically all his life. He is member OF the Presby-
teran Church. and prominent member of the Mil
ford Club. How Well he is regarded by Milford folk is
shown by the fact that he has been member of the
Town Council there since April /. 1882 From 1908
to 1910 he was member of the State School Commits
sion and did good work in behalf Of the educational
interests of the State His services to the people
State Auditor have been so valuable that the news
that he had been nominated for second term gave
general satisfaction in all three counties
It is admitted that one Of the most important Offices
in the State is that of State Insurance Commits
sioner For that place the Republicans have nomina-
ted Robert p Robinson, OF the Central National Bank
in this city. He is splendid business and has
a broad and comprehensive idea Of what the people
will expect Of him after they have elected him to the
Office Mr.. Robinson born this city in 1869
and received his elementary education in a country
school Subsequently he entered Rugby Academy and
graduated in the sos He is interested acutely in

of Salisbury who is obsessed with desire to go to

1t is the wish of the Republican State Committee
and Of the several Republican County Committees that
no friend of candidate the Republican ticket
in any of the counties shall enter into any trading
agreement with the Democrats on anything The
Democratic State ticket and at least two of the Demo-
cratic county tickets already stand beaten by the

ton at the polls tomorrow Everything also indicates
that the Republicans, by standing together will elect
working majority in each house of the Legislature
II will be seen therefore, that the Democrats have
nothing Of value to trade with Republicans and that
in instance the Republican party would be the
loser by any such traficking in votes All that the
Republican State Committee and the National Progress

each party shall vote straight ticket If they will

/. SUPPORT THE COUNTY TICKET.

THERE never has been in this county Republican
ticket more deserving of support than tho one
in the field From top to bottom it is composed Of
good men, as the following list will show: For Pro-
thonotafy, Joseph wlgglesworth; Clerk of the Peace
Harry A. Brown; Sheriff, Walter S Burris Re
ceiver OF Taxes and County Treasurer, Charles H.
Lippincott; Comptroller. Edwin S. Clark, and Coroner
John r. Spring sr. That the ticket is regarded
good is shown by the fact that the National Pro-
gressiye party has endorsed It without change, and
it stands as representing both the friends of Pres-
dent Taft and the friends of Colonel Roosevelt
Il also may be said that every the Levy
Court branch OF the ticket is worthy of the support
of all Republicans and National Progressiyes. Samuel
L. Burris should carry the First Levy Court district
by a good plurality. The also is true of l. Pusey
wickersham in the Second district; Everett B..
Hollingsworth in the Third district, and Benjamin A.
Groves in the Fourth district The Democrats are
making a desperate effort carry the Fifth district
IL which James .. shaw Ir-, Is the Republican and
National Progressive nominee; the Sixth district,
where Thomas S Fouracre is those two tickets and
the Seventh district in which Richard Hodgson. one
of the popular Republicans I'm the district is
ming against William A. Scott, who is an exceedingly
unpopular Democratic candidate II is secret that
the Democrats, who counted confidently at the out
set of the campaign carrying at least four Of the
Levy Court districts now will be we'll content
to carry one or two OF them, heavily has the tide
Of popular disfavor turned against the Democratic
nominees.
The Republican and National Progressive nominees
for state Senators aud Representatives also men
well worthy of the support of all voters who

MR.. WRIGHT HAS
MORE COMPLAINTS

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir:-I noticed an article the other
evening referring to the progress that
was being made with the work on
Market street bridge. l think there
must be a mistake on somebody's
part. If you will take a walk and
view Market street bridge in the
condition it now is and then stroll out
the causeway you will wonder why
our Levy Court Commissioners don't
take a hand in the matter and COM
pell the traction company to put on
more men and get the thing done as
the road and the bridge are hardly
passable at the approaches. / would
like TO know why it is that this trac-
tion company is using a Il rail close
to the bridge when their franchise
calls for fiat rail to the city limits.
If their was to be a fire in South Will
mington I doubt very much if the fire
companys would be able to get to the
plubs because of these rails. Another
thing / would like to know; why it IS
that after the causeway was put in
good shape our Street and Sewer
directors allowed refuse and mud to
be dumped along the edge of the road
at the south side ball grounds. When
rains falls is almost impossible to get
through the mud puddles that are
formed there.
Yours etc,
JOHN WRIGHT.

LAST WORDS TO PROaREssIyEs.

0 WING to the fact that bronzt and nickel Bull
moose emblems have been distributed by the
thousand from the headquarters of the National Pro-
eressiVe Party in this city, many persons who have
received them labor under the mistaken impression
tnat the ticket the official ballot which is favored
ana supported by the National Propessives has the
bullmoose emblem at the top of it, Nothing is farther
from the truth. The ballot emblem OF the National
progressive party is the Scales Of Justice The ballot
contains the Roosevelt electors the name of Dr. Hiram
r. Burton for Congressman and, below that the Re-
publican and National Progressive State ticket, on
which Charles r. Miller is running for Governor All
friends Of Colonel Roosevelt in Delaware should re-
member these facts when they go into the election
booth to vote. They should mark their ballots in the
square enclosing the Scales Of Justice, that emblem
being as follows

It is gratifying to learn that the voters in the New
Castle hundred legislative district arraying them
selves, regardless of party, against Chauncey Hol-
comb the Democratic candidate for Representative II
shows that the civic pride of that section of State
has been aroused and that it is making for better
1itical conditions New Castle hundred is en-
lightened community There in it hundreds Of in
telgent and self-respecting men-Democrats, Repub-
licans and Progressives. Why the Salisbury Demo-
cratic machine should manipulate the primaries in
such way that man of the Holcomb sort is forced
upon the decent Democrats a candidate is not
clear unless be that Willard Salisbury the boss of
that machine feels that, should Holcomb be
elected he will get his vote for United States Senator
There is election news that win come out of New
Castle hundred tomorrow night that will bring great
er satisfaction the public than the bulletin announc-
ing thar the respectable citizenship of that legislative
district has united and defeated this lieutenant of
Saulsburys. The voters ia New Castle hundred are
fortunate in having in the field Holcomb's oppo-
nent OF such intelligence honesty and respecta-
bility as Clayton d. Appleby.

ware public is more afraid of your friends than of
you, and the pledge above quoted will convince them
that their fear is well founded. The difference be-

friends IN the office Of Governor, Mr. Miller pledges
himself TO the people, aud particularly the tax
payers regardless Of party There is vast difference

The leaders Of this cabal of renegades j. Frank

terprise Of eectng Willard Salisbury United States
Senator, Thomas NJ. Monaghan, Governor and restor-

Democratic machine. No self-respecting Delawarean
can give either couhenance support to such poll
tical conspiracy, and it is outrageous that the mem
bers of the political caba using the Bullmoose
their ballot to deceive the voters Therefore all voters
should bear in mind the fact that if they vote the
ticket with the Bumoose at the head Of it, they
ly cast vote to elect Salisbury United States
Senator and Monaghan Governor of this State. where
if they vote the ticket with the Scales of Justice
at the top of it, they for Col Theodore Roosevelt

To The Editor of THE EVENING

Sir; Permit the undersigned to
say that while the disposition is on
to boom our city. would it not be we'll
to look for some means whereby the
annual deficit could be gotten rid OF?
For instance, nearly S60,0G0l is Sc
cpyed yearly from the sale of liquor

money. we could put on a better front
when prospective settlers ask about
the city's credit
