ROOSEVELT INsINCERITY EXPENSIVE.

II 7 is worse than folly for the friends of Col
onel Theodore Roosevelt TO advance the plea
that his candidacy for the Republican nomina-
ton Tor President is in response to a great pub
lie demand. They know, and all Americans know
that the so-called public demand was worked up
by paid and unpaid publicity agents and that the
plan of campaign developed deliberately in
New York and elsewhere and still is being worked
in those centers of Roosevelt activity. If Colonel
Roosevelt we're wise, he would come out frankly
and tell the people he liked the Office of President
so well he would like to have it again, notwth-
standing previous declarations that under no cir
cumstance would he be candidate for either the
nomination the election.
Colonel Roosevelt now labors under the burden
of his own declarations. Americans are not so
iorgetful that they do not know that on Novem-
Der s. 904, when he yet was President, he pro-
claimed from the White House that if he were to
run again il would be tantamount to run
ming for third term. Had he not made
that decalaration he might now make the
plea that the three and one-haf years of Pres
ident McKinleys term that he served did not con
stitute term in the literal meaning of the word.
His declaration then was follows and those
who read II will see how completely he barred him
self from making such plea now
"On the 4th of March next shall have served
three and half years, and this three and half
years constitute my first term. The wise custom
the substance and not the form, and under no cir
cumstances will be candidate for or accept an
other nomination
BY those utterances he crossed the stream and
burned the bridges He acknowledged that when,
on December I. 1907, he said;
IL have not changed and shall not change that
decision thus announced
-Four years subsequently he experienced great
change of heart 1t resulted in this declaration,
which shocked many men who had been his best
friends and supporters:
Il will accept the nomination for President if
II Is rendered me, and | will adhere to this deci-
sion until the convention has expressed its prefer
ence.'
Then followed the stupendous enterprise of
working up the so-called great public demand for
him TO enter the fight. BY that time the voters
we're wide awake. They experienced no difficulty
in seeing through the game that was being work
ed. The apparent insincerity of Colonel Roose-
welt removed him from the high niche in which he
had been placed by public imagination and the
drift Of the selection of delegates now indicates
that he will suffer ignominious defeat in the Ma
tiona Convention.

unless a trunk line be built The trunk line will
not be built unless General DUPONT builds il. If
the people depend on the State appropratng ST.
100000 in the near future for that purpose, they
will be disappointed. If they depend on those who
doing everything they can TO embarass General
dupont and to detract from the credit that is due
him, they will never get foot of the road. Gen.
eral DUPONT is a constructionist. Those who are
opposing his plans are obstructionists. 1t seems
to us that in choosing between the two sides of
a controversy in which the future of the good
roads movement is tied up, there should be hcsi
fancy by any public-spirted and intelligent citi-
zen Taken by the broad the question whether the
State should have such Boulevard as General
DUPONT has projected, is removed from the realm
Of debate. So is the question whether he has
done to the people of Delaware lasting benefit
in planning the Boulevard and putting it under
construction The whole thing has narrowed down
TO a question of damages and off-setting benefits
to property owners. 1t scarcely seems likely that
a man who is willing 10 spend $2,000000 for the
benefit OF the people of his State will seek to work
any injustice on those through whose lands he
may desire that the Boulevard shall pass

CUTTING
DOWN TOLL OF
TRESPASSINC

Trespassing on Pennsylvania Rail-
road systems p Jperty in violation Of
the law has caused the deaths of s.
523 people since January, 1900. In
the same time S,2S5 people have been
injured as a result of trespassing.
These facts are brought out IN a re-
oprt issued today by the Pennsylvania
Company.
Following the year 1907, when 916
people were killed while trespassing
on Pennsylvania property, the man
agement of that company inaugurated
campaign to educate the public to
the dangers of trespassing The CO.
operation of the city and county au-
thorities was invited, and wide publi-
city was given to the efforts the COM
pany was making to put an end to this
evil which was annually costing so
many people their lives. AS a result
of the efforts of its officers and en-
ployes, the number of trespassers
killed on the Pennsylvania railroad in
1908 was 743, a reduction Of 173, or
more than Is per cent The rail-
roads activities in this direction were
redoubled in 1909 and again was the
roll from trespassing reduced to 633,
or about 10 per cent. Even more Wig
orous have the Pennsylvania efforts
been In the past two years, with the
result that in 1910 the number of kill
ed was reduced to 5S5 and in 1911 to
527, a decrease of AZ per cent since
1907

FUNDAMENTAL ASPECT OF BOULEVARD.

r ET us dismiss for the moment the contro-
II verted points involved in the securement of
right-of-way for the DUPONT Boulevard and look
at the project in broader and less selfish way.
No one denies that a macadar road. extending the
length of the State and with an cast side and a
west side branch in Sussex county, will be a good
thing for all the people. No one denies that the
action of General 7. Coleman DUPONT in giving
such a road TO the people of Delaware is magnif-
cent one.
There is a difference of opinion, especially
among property owners through whose lands
the boulevard will pass, on the question whether
such right-of-way shall be donated or purchased.
That same difference of opinion exists relative TO
the proposed amendments to the Boulevard act
which have for their purpose the assessment of
benefits we'll as of damages when private prop
erty is taken. 1t is not our purpose at this time
10 discuss those questions from any point of view
We deem it more important to call public atten-
ton to the fundamental fact that underes
General duPonts magnificent gift That is that
IT Will be the great trunk line of a good roads
system that ultimately will tap even the most re-
more sections OF the three counties that make I'D
te otate 1t is safe to assert that within de-
CAGE Following the completion of the dupont Bouie-
Naro' improved roads will radiaac from il in ali
directions We also predict that within ten wears
many OF those who now are opposing or eriticizine
the Boulevard project and doing what thew can 10
impede its progress, will hail General dupont as
the father OF good roads in this State and as one
whose foresight and liberality conferred on the
people benefits that cannot be measured bv dol
lars and cents
There is nothing Delaware needs more than good
reads. 1T never will get a comprehensive system

PLAYGROuNps CONTROVERSY.

VATILLlAM P. BANCROFT, a member of the
w Board Of Park Commissioners, seemingly is
in favor of the establishment of Fairgrounds in
the First and Tenth wards to the exclusion at
least for the present, Of the that is being con-
tended for by persons living in the Third ward.
AS he not only is a member of the Board but also
a substantial and level-headed citizen who has the
interest of the community much at heart his opin-
ion is worthy OF careful and serious consdera-
ton.
We have no doubt that if Mr.. Bancroft thought
the city treasury were in condition 10 provide
all three Fairgrounds, he willingly would work Tor
their establishment His present point OF view
is that it would serve the interests Of the First
and Tenth wards if Fairgrounds were established
in them near the boundaries of the Third ward and
that by such establishment the Third ward chill
dren would be served as well or better than they
would be if a playground we're established near
the centre of the Third ward. Mr. Bancroft pre-
sents figures tending to show that the First
ward playground and the Tenth ward playground,
if sites already suggested be selected, would be
more accessible to Third ward children than
Third ward playground would be and that, instead
of having the use of one playground, such chill
dren would have the use of two such recreation
centres AS he announces publicly he is open
TO conviction it may be we'll for the Civic Com
mittees interested in the Fairgrounds PROJECT 10
confer with him and assist in the work OF deVis-
ing a comprehensive Fairgrounds system Tor the
southern section of the city The need OF such
system Mr. Bancroft freely admits Nor is MS IN
terest confined to the southern territory west or
Market street He thinks the lower east side OF the
city is equally deserving of Fairgrounds.
