"One Good Turn

"One Good Turn"
Gold has not infrequently been
found buried in the neighborhood Of
Carrara, in Italy, and many stories
are still circulated in that locality
concerning hidden treasure.
A most curious experience was that
of a quarryman who in one of his
rambles stumbled on an old deserted
quarry, within which, half buried in
grass and bramblcs, lay an enormous
block of heavy marble.
On examining it he found a number
Of letters rudely cut and half hidden
under a crust of dirt. With some diff
Guilty he managed to spell out the
words:
Blessed is he who shall turn me
over"
The man at once jumped to the con-
clusion that he had stumbled on hid
dtn treasure and that his fortune was
made. He rushed home and collected
scme of his friends to aid liln in the
recovery OF the concealed gold. After
much hard labor they succeeded in

cash at discount of 5per cent, paid for in EASY

Editorial Opinion
BOULEVARD AND
SPECIAL SESSION.

(From the Dover State Republican,
When the dupont boulevard project
was first broached, and General du-
Pont made his splendid offer and out
lined his plans. there was universal
endorsement all over tn State and our
leading farmers and men most TO be
affected by it were loud i'm their praise
of his generosity. When the matter
was before the Legislature that body
was deluged with letters from consti-
tuents without regard TO politics. who
demanded that all privileges asked for
be granted.
The inestimable value of such
highway to the state was everywhere
appreciated. and farmer after farmer
cheerfully pledged the right of way
through their properties.
Then it became evident that ad-
ditional legislation was needed to IA
cilitate the work. especially concern
/ ing the legal condemnation OF land
where il was found necessary. and a
special session of the Legislature was
suggested. This gave the few papers
! which from the first endeavored to
throw cold water on the movement,
opportunity 10 assail General dupont
and harp on the expense that special
session uo-ld ent~l. And they are
keeping it up.
But the people are not to he fooled
by their arguments. they see bchind lt
political animus and jealousy, and the
narrowest sort of venom. Too well All
the people recognize the inoalculable
value the road will be to the State
and they are not to be blufted by TINS
argument of the expense of a special
session. If General dupont desires
those amendments to that law. the
people are with him.

Il not only wrote one ad but l
wrote several, advertising the furs

An actress came and purchased the
furs. the hats and opera cloaks, and
she told me she always read the Want
Ads OF the daily papers in every city,
and she found some of the prettiest

There promises to be a split in the Democratic
State Committee here on the question of the in
itiative the referendum and the recall. Most of
the members of the committee arc opposed TO TAX
ing definite stand on those three principles that
are being advocated so strenuously and vocfer-
ouSly by progressive Republicans and Democrats.
The committee has among its members, however,
radicals who will insist that something definite be
done Ii will be interesting to watch the struggles
of Willard Salisbury, Ir. the real head of the
Democratic organization, and Thomas F. Bayard
IT, the titular head, to extricate themselves from
such an embarrassing situation when the meeting
is held on April ?. The understanding is that
Salisbury already has made up his list of national
delegates and that he has obtained from them de-
finite pledges that they will follow his leadership
without question and vote for the nomination of
Wilson until he may see fit to throw their votes

If all the money that has been wasted in make
shift repairs the public roads in rural New
Castle Kent and Sussex counties had been used
to develop a system of good roads, scientifically
constructed, Delawareans would not now be found
ering in the bogS that beset them every side.
The game of small politics has stood persistenty
between the people and good roads 1t still is being
played, particularly in Kent and Sussex counties
When the dupont Boulevard has been built, and
the people down there realize what good roads
mean, there will be such a revulson % public SEN
timent that small-fry politicians who now arc
working so induStriously in favor of dirt roads
and the mud-holes and ruts that so with them, will
be compelled TO make quick change of front or
90 out of the political business. The boulevard
will be educational factor against which none
of them will be able to argue effectively. 1t will
convert to the good roads movement everyone who
uses il, and it is safe to say there is not a Della
warean who will not use it and be thankful for
the benedcent spirit that prompted General du-
Pont to build it..

Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of the
British Admiralty has made a speech that has
stirred Germany so profoundly that the Emperor
William has postponed his visit to Vienna, Venice
and Corfu. Germans regard ChurchillS utter
ances unfriendly and inopportune, particularly
in view of the fact that both nations have been
trying, on the surface at least, to remove the
causes of misunderstanding and friction that exist.
Conservative Britons and Germans seem hopeful,
however, that steps will be taken in both London
and Berlin to remove the sting from the utterances
of Churchill so the friendly negotiations in which
Viscount Hadane, British Secretary of State for
War, recently played such an important part, may
be continued to a successful conclusion.
