New Senator From Texas

. AT the Texas primary elections this
week Morris Sheppard was chosen TO
succeed Senator Joe Bailey, who re-
tires in disgust. The new Senator has
a record that is hardly equaled in the
history of the country.
He is only thirty years old and
has been eleven years in the House of
Representatives, having been chosen to
succeed his father. He is a graduate
of the University of Texas and of the
Yale University Law School. He was
in private practice only three years
when sent to Congress, and now he is
to adOrn the Senate.
1t has been complained of late that
eloquence is no longer to be heard in
the Senate, whose walls formerly re
verberated to the most profound ora
tory. Sheppard will revive the ancient
custom. He is the long-distance talk
or of Congress and "a use more ad-
~jectives in a given number of words
than any man living. His poetic soul
would burst if he did not get off oc.
casionally his flights of intellectual
fancy. He is said to be a greater ora
tor than Clay, Webster and Calhoun
combined, which is going some, even
for Texas. -InquiI er.

Dupont Road Abandoned

Property of Delaware, whose
farms were to be cut up by the proposed
Dupont Boulevard, Iejoiced at the an
nouncement that the machinery used in
the construction OF the road had been re-
moved from Georgetown, DEL. and ship
ped away on fiat cars. The statement of
one OF L. Coleman Dupont's right hand
men that Dupont had grown weary of the
opposition OF the land owners and had
determined to abandon the boulevard
was received with manifest pleasure.
For over a year Dupont has sought to
present" to the State a road that would
run through Delaware, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, a distance of 208 miles. When
farmers learned that Dupont did not
mean to buy the ground for the highway,
but instead demanded a 200-foot strip
through their properties, they began to
investigate the project. They found that
the road was to be at no point more than
81 feet wide, that only IA to Is feet of
this was to be m~acadamized and that Du-
pont reserved for his own purposes the
strip ITO feet wide by 208 miles long.
On this land Dupont could lay pipe
lines, run trolley cars OF do practically
ohJUhiiiS Hc Wdiitcus Lie Ibbl6 settle
ment at Arden, Del, would have been
bisected and perhaps destroyed if the
road had been continued.
According to agents of Dupont, farmers
along the right of way demanded large
prices for their land. Suit is now pend
ing in the Supreme Court, attacking the
cons~titutionality OF the act creating the
Dupont Boulevard. There is every indi-
cation now that the rights of way given
or sold to the boulevard company will
now be turned back to the property own
ers along the route and that no further
effort will be made by Dupont to build
the highway.
Since the above was announced an ex-
PLANTATION why the machinery for con-
struction of the road was moved from
Georgetown has been made. Work was
stopped while the constitutionality of the
law was being contested in the Supreme
Court CT Delaware. The contractor need
ed the machinery for road building else.

The Court announced the law constitu-
tiona last Saturday. Col. t. Coleman
Dupont has not announced whether he
will proceed to build the road or not.

La Follette's Opinion of Roosevelt

Senate La Follette's arrajgnment OF
Mr.. Roosevelt in the current number
OF his weekly is unanswerable.
MI. Roosevelt, as the Senator says.
never had an honest majority of the
delegates to the Chicago Convention.
He no longer pretends that enough
honestly elected Roosevelt delegates
Were thrown out to deprive him of a
rlghtfnl majority i'll the convention,
He could only have secured a majority
by the seating of Roosevelt delegates
on take OF irregular contests.
But with the delegates that he con.
trOlled, MI. Roosevelt was in a position
to force the nomination of some other
pr oppressive, like Gov. Hadley. He
as Ill a position to compel the adop-
tlon OF progressive platform. In that
work he could have secured the assist
ance of the La Toilette and Cummins
forces.
As Senator La Toilette asserts. Mr..
Roosevelt had the same opportunity to
serve the progressive cause at Chicago
that Nh. Bryan had at Baltimore. He
was not equal to the emergency. From
the moment he saw that he could not
capture the nomination for himself lie
proposed to bolt and to lead his follow
ers into a third party movement with
himself as the appointed candidate.
MI. Bryan devoted himself to the adj
yancenlent of the progress ,ive cause by
the nomination of a progressive candi-
date on a progressive platform. Mr.
R0oseyelt's Il purpose and desire was
his w nomination for a third term.
He threw away every advantage solely
in order to crafty bis personal ambi,
ton. Progressives like Senator La
Toilette, who were in the fight long be-
fore Mr.. Roosevelt took to parading in
the guise of a progressive, are justified
in expressing their disgust,-Worll.

WHY SUPPORT rs ASKED.
coasnt Reasons Advanced For Dsmee.
rags Appeal TO Voters
BY w. M. DANIELS

OF Hudson County.
The Democratic party in the pending
campaign can most effectively appeal
to the electorate for support ON the fol-
lowing grounds:
First.-It has shown undertaking de-
votion to the basic principle Of popu-
lar government. Popular government
o law and administration in the
interest of the people as q whole by
agents freely chosen by the people as
q whole where such agents are an
swerable for their acts to the people,
their creators, not to private machines
masking in the popular guise. This de-
votion to popular government the Dem
ocratic party has demonstrated In state
and in nation by enacting legislation In
the popular interest, undeterred by the
threats or opposition Of privileged
greed. The attempted reduction Of mo-
nopoly breeding tariffs Is the most
striking example Of this Democratic
policy in national affairs, while In our
own state, a modernixed election law,
q long promised but long postponed
corrupt practices act, a just employers
liability law, adequate regulation Of
public service corporations through a
commission and the u~nhampered exer
else of legitimate local choice as to
forms Of local government illustrate
the same constant adherence to the
principle of serving the public good.
Second.-The Democratic party ap-
peals for popular Endorsement because
1t proved responsive to the popular
viii in adjusting the law Of the land
10 the urgent needs Of the hour. This
II has done by affording recourse to
popular senatorial and presidential pri-
maries and also to the initiative, refer
endum and recall when and where the
ordinary agencies of government be-
come 30 blocked as to choke or sup
press the untrammeled expression Of
the public will.
Third.-The Democratic party conf
IDENTIFY appeals for popular support be-
cause it has truly reflected the wide
spread conviction that a unified con-
troll Of credit and of many kinds OF in
dustrial capital are incompatible alike
with the individual business enterprise
and with justice to the millions Of con
Sumers.
Fourth.-The Democratic party in
vokes the cooperation and support OF
all citizens of Independent and pro
gressive principles because of its avow-
ed aim to extend to the nation through
the administration of Woodrow VII
son as president, with the support OF
a Democratic congress, the same in
vigoration of the administration OF jus
tice and the same fearless adoption OF
national legislation to the needs Of the
hour as have secured In such large
measure through his agency and I'm
der his leadership in the state Of New
Jersey.

In another column is announced
what the citizens at HightstOwn intend
to do to better the school facilities for
the children. Hightstown is a borough
with about the same population of
Penns Grove. While other towns ale
keeping up with the progress Of educa-
tion to meet the requirements of the
next generation why should parents in
this region not desire their children to
have the best facilities for their chill
dren? Do they not wish them to be as
much cultured in mind, morals and
habits of industry as parents i'll other
communities do for their children.

The Flies Beat The Spiders

P~edricktown, N. j., July 25, 1912
Sporting Editor Penns Grove RECORD,
would thank you very warmly if you
would again be so kind as to publish the
report OF another game of ball between
the HIghtown Spiders and Flies. They
met once more upon the glorious field of
battle on the above named date on the
piazza at Dolbow's landing. 1t was the
time of the Baptist Sunday School an
nual picnic.
line Spiders were managed by our pop
nlar florist, James Harrington. As ia
well known "Brickie'' was once upon a
time manager OF the Harrisburg tri-state
team and the knowledge of this tended
to brighten the Flies in the first few in
nlngs, but after some of the Fly rooters
did a little missionary work. Jimsie's
bark Wal wusser nor his bite. They pick
ed up a bit of courage. When they did
get on bases they simply few from one
corner to the other, having an utter dis
regard for the cheese protecting Of the
fielders.
The Spiders acquired a run in the
second spasm on a double by Davie Jones.
Kllle and a long single by Scotch Hem
derson. The Flies came right back and
went them one better. The trick was
contaminated in this wise. Scrap Hunt
lifted the ball out in deep center where
it dropped safe taking two bases. Lefty
Cunard duplicated the stunt, putting
Scrap dVer the disc when Con. slid in On
a single by Draybold.
Both swarms then got stingy until the
sixth when the Spiders got real harsh and
rolled up four tallies on a three Dagger
by supt. Gaventa. A single by the sor-
rel top one, a double by Bro. Harvey, a
single by Kille and Slim Henderson.
Another single by Davie Sailor was their
swan song. After that the battery was
reversed and Dutch Swaverly did the
mound work for the next three innings
allowing but two questionable hits.
Those were that almost any hurler would
lind it quite difficult to get a ball pass.
The Figs then seeing they had the spi
checked began to do a little more pick
ing. They picked up one in the seventh
on singles by Draybold, Walters and
Smith. In the eighth they got after
"Brickie," who / might add has reached
his three score years and who hadn t
pitched a game Of ball for a goodly num-
Der OF years. thereby plucking some of
the glory of victory from the cockades of
the Flies. Four runs was added to the
Flies score in this number on swats and
thefts by Dutch. Babe Huber, Scrapo,
Leftie Con. and Draybold.
The features of the game was the
heavy hitting of Supt. Gaventa who was
at bat four times. He made W runs
and drove in two more. Sulliva We be-
lieve was playing into the hands OF the
enemy as he struck out each time up.

BASE BALL

To play q game without Larry Huber
in it would be like a Bull Moose Party
without the B. M.
Billie Cunard the tonsorial artist is the
Big Bill of the Spiders aud the trumpet
tutor OF the troupe.
Davie Henderson is the Bobbie Burns
of the Borough.
Leftie Cunard is the Beau Brummel of
the dang gasted swarm.
Jimsie Harrington shares the honors of
being the encyclopaedia OF any thing in
base ball with frankie Gaventa.
Jackie Sullivan prides himself as being
the only representative of Celtic extrac-
ton or in the fraze of the street. the only
Irishmon on the tame.
Davie Sailor should be the Capt. as he
is a good mate.
