CHEAP OUTINGS CLOSE AT HAND.

IT HERE is for any Wilmngtonian TO
plead poverty as an excuse for falling to find
weekend enjoyment and recreation for himself and
members Of his family the country in the parks
the rivers at the shore Our city and the
try surrounding It simply abound with recreation
tres Take shellpot Park and Brandywine Springs
Park for instance Either may be reached and
ioyed for fve-cent fare To those who delight in
nature there many sylvan retreats in those places
where a may go with his family and a lunch
basket and spend a day pleasantly and prohtaby.
That also is OF public parks. which with
in walking distance for thousands Of our people
Nor should the pleasure giving facilities of the troll
ley lines rediating from our city into the surround
ing country be forgotten. For hvecent fare most
Of them will take person into the country where cool
and shady hooks welcome ail For those who
like water trips. what is delightful than a sail
on the Delaware from Wilmington to Philadelphia
or Pennsgrove and return? Nor should the pleasure
giving advantages Of the Chrisana and the Brandy
wine be overlooked by those who are in search Of
heathful recreation and who cannot afford to pay
much to get IT, On both streams there scores of
small boats for hire. The charge is light that a
man may pack a lunch basket get fishing lines and
bait summon the members OF his family and away

spend the day delightfully."- for a comparative trihe.
For those who afford It. the steam railroads center
ing here also provide cheap excursions to shore
and country resorts.
We have nothing against either the doctors or the
druggists, but think it will admitted that It s
infinitely better to relieve mental and physical ex-
hsuston by cheap weekend outings than refrain
from obtaining the benefits of such outings and as a
penalty therefor spend the money thus saved to set
tie doctors and druggists bills certain amount of
each weeks wages should be spent for pur-
poses. II is neither waste nor extravaganza, but a
good investment bringing rich in health hap

EDITORIAL OPINION
WHY SUCH A LEyYg

From the Elkton Whig
Why should Cecil County have d
levy Of over s2OO.OOO.Oo for county
purposes. We notice that Talbot
county with population of only three
thousand less has levy of about
S1OO,oo0.0O. We notice that wicomico
county, with population of about six
thousand more has a levy of $118,-
10000. Cecil's population is not much
different from that of these counties,
and yet OUR LEVY is DOUBLE THE
AMOUNT OF THEIRS. Why should
1t TAKE TWICE AS MUCH MONEY
TO RUN THE AFFAIRS OF CECIL
COUNTY as it takes to run those of
Talbot or Wicomico, which we select
as examples, because we have recent
ly seen their levy and tax rate? Does
this not look as if some reform were
needed in our way of doing things
Does not such striking and signi-
Meant contrast plead with trumpet ton

county situation by those who have

FLIES AND MOSQUITOES.

From the Dover Index.
The great lesson to the world from
the digging of the Panama Canal is
the lesson of sanitation. Among
other things it has been demonstrated
that flies and mosquitoes are avoid
able plaques, and that ordinary clean
Illness and caution will rid any locali-
ty OF both. For instance. il has been
discovered that ordinarily a mosaui-
to Will not travel more than a mile
In its life time. and that, therefore, if
we measure a mile in all directions
from the limits of Dover. we have
the breeding grounds and habitation
OF all the mosquitoes that infest the
town. To rid Dover of mosquitoes
does not require the draining of the
marshes along the bay, as was once
supposed, but the prevention Of all
stagnant water within a mile of Do
yer. In the Panama Canal Zone no
refuse, decaying matter, filth, stag
nant water or other breeding places
for flies and mosquitoes are allowed.
No pounds, no slop receptacles, no
stagnant pools or ponds are allowed.
An upright wheelbarrow, tin can or
other means of collecting rain water
are not permitted. Workmen must
turn down wheelbarrows on quitting
work The people of Dover. by the
enforcement of ordinary cleanness
and precaution against stagnant wa
ter could rid Dover of both flies and
mosquitoes, and they should be asham-
ed Of themselves they do not do it.
The Panama Canal Zone, that used
to be the home of every sort of pes
tiferous fly and yellow fever bearing
mosquito, is free from both.

OF the matter was that the conference referred to

Fight AGAINST SALISBURY GROWS.

IRVING HANDY and Richard r. Kenney are
A-' making such breaches in the political lines OF
Willard Salisbury that his leutenants are working
overtime trying TO hll the gaps In many sections OF
the State they discover that the anu-Saulshury sem

up the Democrats favor of Mr.. Salisbury for United
States Senator The feeling grows in all sections ot
the State that Mr. Salisbury has been such dismal
failure as a political leader. when it comes to win

to step to the background and give other Demo-

say that Mr. Salisbury certainly will not control the
Democratic legislative caucus Mr.. kenney Is can
vassng the entire State and endeavoring TO convince
the Democrats that he is the logical candidate for the
caucus nomination for United States Senator He also
is sending to many Democrats letters explaining why

From the Milford Chronicle.
One week from. today the Su-
preme Court will take up the question
of the DUPONT Boulevard. and we hope
that it will give its decision as quick
ly as a fair and reasonable considera-
tion of the points of law involved will
permit. This identical question Of a
state-long highway should be made
another of the political issues of this
campaign. With such a road, the
farmer will be in position TO take ad-
vantage of the motor trucks in market
ing his produce, and Delaware will as
surely leap forward in wealth and
business enterprise with such a road
way through the state, as the sun will
rise. Build a state long highway
anyway; by gift if possible, but build
1t anyway.

to do this. The white house has been

have brought word to President Taft
that Col. Roosevelt so far has declin-

President Taft is reported to have
made this statement to white house
callers today and to have added that
he had no objection to the statement
being made public.
It undoubtedly was intended to set
at rest all reports that Mr.. Taft might
withdraw from the race for the Re-
publican nomination for president in
favor of Theodore Roosevelt.
The president is said to be thor
oughly aroused to the gravity of the
situation in the Republican party and
determined to let his attitude be gen.
orally understood. He has declared
that under no circumstances will he
withdraw his name from considera-
ton by the Chicago convention next
June, and has asserted that his posi-
ton with respect to the nomination
has not changed in any particular
since he first entered the white house.
Mr.. Taft has told friends and party
! leaders from the first that if he should
be called upon to stand for reelection
he would be glad to do so: that he felt
under obligations to the party fol-
having made him presi6 1t, and was
willing to abide its decision in the

ton, according to announcements to-
