DEMOCRATIC DUTY AND OPPOR.

Lrom the Dover Index.
Never before have the democrats OF
Delaware been confronted with a gra-
yer situation and a more important
duty. There never was time that
called for higher order of patriot
ism, courage and effacement of self
interest. The state needs, as it has
not often needed in the past. nigh
er order of public officials and a keen-
er interest of all citizens of the state.
The republican party has named its
ticket and announced it's platform.
The ticket is as good as couldk be ex-
pected from such a boss-ruled party
and the platform is as definite and
sincere as a party that does not pre-
tend to live up to its promises can be
expected to make. The democratic
convention meets on September 10
and the progressive party convention
on September II. The state now
looks to the democratic convention TO
name a ticket and adopt a platform
that will meet with the approval OF
a majority of the voters of the state
and there must be no failing in this
duty The party has such men, al
though they are not seeking nomina.
tions. The other class. the Office seek
ers, the mere politicians, are out in
force and trying to elbow the others
away. 1t is to be hoped thatethe con-
vention will be made up Of democrats
with the courage to nominate the
strongest possible ticket, whatever
the Office seekers and manipulators
may say or do. The other need is a
platform, short, concise, unambigu-
Gus, progressive and free from the
usual claptrap and prediction sops'
Such ticket on such a platform can
win and nothing else will meet the
expectations of the people.

MR.. WILSON AND THE FARMER.

From the Salem Standard.
It was not unreasonable to antici-
pate that a clear headed and highly
educated student of public affairs
like Governor Wilson would be able
to present a good case in his opening
speech without finding it necessary
to descend to the claptrap of the pro-
fessional politician when addressing
rural audiences. The day has pass
ed when the farmer is a be-whisker-
ed gawk who swallows every sophis-
try the political orator offers. He is
now a product of the schools. he
rides in automobiles, he keeps
abreast of current events, he knows
the market quotations every day.
To the farmer of the present age
such a declaration as the following is
the rankest twaddle:
You people own big houses, but
you have let the other fellow live in
it. It is time to turn him out. What
l suggest is that you proceed to
break into your own house and live in
it. The tenants who have been there
a long time have been making you
pay them the rent, instead of paying
rent to you. You have paid the money
that enabled them to live in your own
house and dominate your own prem
ises Turn them out"

GASOLINE AND GOOD ROADS.

From The Milford Chronicle.
The problem which has always
confronted every man who has at
tempted to do road work in the lower
counties of Delaware. has been that
of getting good teams of either
horses or mules TO draw the road
plows and other machinery, but this
greatest of all obstacles mas been
very largely overcome by the use of
the gasoline engines which have
come into use within the past year in
Sussex county. These engines draw
the road scrapers more swiftly, with
less worry TO the operator, and more
steadily than horses formerly did the
work, and the completed job is left in
better shape. both for use and it's ap-
pearance. In the First District Of
SUSSEX county two of these engines
have been working for the past two
months, and the longer they are used
the more satisfied are those who are
operating them. II Is true that these
engines require men to operate them
who are skilled in their management
and who are capable of adjusting
the machinery, as we'll as the engines
to the many different kinds of work
encountered in road grading, but It
is equally true that the engines work
more rapidly, do better work and for
that reason are more economical
than horses TO develop power. We be-
lieve that the gasoline engine has
come to stay as part of the road
working machinery of lower Della
ware. II is available at any time for
work. when farmers would be unable
TO snare their teams at the time when
road work should be done, and il
saves the animals the often danger
GUS straining they meet. The men,

company up to the third dozen and
then allowed him to 60 on alone. He

LIQUID AIR.
The Way II Acts as a P~reseFvative OF
Animal Matter.

It Is sometimes necessary to pre-
serve parts Of a human body or or
some other animal for the purpose Of
testing for the presence Of poisons.
In such cases the preservative must
fulfil certain special requirements. Ii
must be able to prevent absolutely any
decay or put~refaction; IL must not II.
self cause any change In the tissues,
either structural or chemical; II must
not introduce any substance that
would In any way interfere with the
subsequent tests or give rise to false
conclusions, and IL must be easily han
died.
Liquid afr has been found to be
quite well adapted to tits use. Its
low temperature about 400 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit prevents abb
solutely all putrefaction as well as all
other chemical change. At the same
time, 1t prevents the evaporation Of
any volatile substance that may be
present, such as carbon monoxide or
h~ydrocyanic acid gas. Experiments
have shown that the most delicate
tissues, such as glands and brain, are
quite unaffected by being placed In
liquid air for a long time, and the
tissues even retain their natural colors.
For the purpose Of making chemical
tests In a piece Of tissue II Is frequent
ly necessary to cut the material up
into very small pieces. Tissues that
have been preserved In liquid air are
frozen 90 hard that they may be
