new CENTURY CLUB.

) The regular meeting of the Milford
New Century Club was held Monday,
/ November 25th, Mrs. J. L. Pratt pre-
siding.
This being an open day all business
was dispensed with and the program
was under the management of Miss Ida
Rosa, chairhan of libraries. Miss Rosa
introduced to the audience, Mrs. Henry
Ridgely, of Dover, the speaker for the
day. Mrs. Ridgely has made thorough
study of how libraries may be estab-
lished, and her talk was very concise
and most charmingly worded. She
answered all questions the different
members asked. and made the subject
of how taxes would be raised, for this
| greatly needed benefit-a really free
| library for the town of Milford. 1t was
shown that for the small increase of
thirty cents on every 500 of rental
| property and thirty cents on every poll
tax, the town of Milford would be able
to raise the required $500 which would
be the beginning of this library fund.
Then after the $500 had been raised by
the town, the state would give $3.50,
and probably $500 which would enable
the town to buy a very nice collection
of works, pay small salary to a librar-
ian and pay for the rental of a room.
Mrs. Ridgley's plan was to have the
library open three afternoons and three
evenings of each week, to start with,
but from the optimistic view taken by
a large percentage of the audience, it (
seemed as if their enthusiasm would I
not let it rest at three days, but would /
support the library so materially, that /
in a very short time the library would /
be open every day. When it is fully /
understood that the taxes will amount /
to only thirty or forty cents a person /
and in that proportion on increased |
amounts of rentals, and for this small /
sum every one in the town may have
free access to hundreds of books and /
twenty or thirty magazines, it seems as
if there can be no further objection
made by the tax payers of our town.
There were several gentlemen pres
ent, and they all spoke so favOrably af
having the free libraries, that their
short speeches on the subject were
greeted with applause. Probably the
greatest and most enthusiastic applause
was given, when Rev. H. L. Bunstein
announced that the MasOn's had given
the use of a room in Masonic Hall, for
use of the library until further plans
could be made.
Mrs. Ridgely then announced that if
that proved the case, she would see
that suon after January lst case of
books would be sent to Milford to help
fill the shelves of the new free library.
Miss Virginia Salevan's piano solo
ended the program for the day.
Next Monday will be Howard Pyle
Day when Miss Bissel will address
the club This meeting will begin at
O'Clock sharp, instead of $3.50. The
Japanese Bazaar will be the attraction
during the first week in December and
everyone is asked to bear in mind that
most beautiful Chinese gifts may be
purchased then at moderate prices.

GRANGERS ARE Disappointed.

HThe grangers in this section of the
state are much disappointed over the
action of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in cutting Milford from the list of towns
atswhich the Farmers Train" will
stop. Milford is one of the best. if not
the best, paying stations on the Penn
sylvania lines in Delaware and the
grangers in the surrounding country
who ship from this point think that
they should be given a chance to look
at the exhibits on the train as well as
the farmers at the small cross roads
stations, some Of which the train will
visit.

GREAT BRITaIN'S EXPERIMENT


British Iw5rkingnen have passed FROM mere
violent opposition, and the result is that the po-
litical leaders of all faiths are alarmed lest law
should develop into dangerous lawlessness
The act went into effect on July Is and sim
ultaneOusly there was an extensive strike of
dock-workers at London and at Birkenhead.
This strike was but one of the active manifesta-
itons of protest and directed at but one of the
provisions of the act-the provision that en-
ployes must register through the clearinghouse
and receive their wages minus the deducted con-
tributons to the insurance fund. The strikers
demanded that their employers handle the for.
lnalities of registration and payment of fees.
The Unionist party, backed by sympathetic
papers, fought the act bitterly and persistently,
with the result that an intense feeling of distrust
was aroused among the workers.. The feeling
grew to such lengths that toward the end the
Unionist leaders, frightened at the result of their
own acts, sought to allay the fears of the work
ers and to counsel amendment to the act instead
of strike and violence. 1t was then too late to
undo all that had been DONE and consequently
Great Britain. has entered an important indus
trial experiment with prejudice and intolerance
instead of impartial consideration. This is un-
fortunate, but it should be said that most OF the
statesmen of England agree that in principle
the act is right and that it is in detail the mis-
takes have been made.
Great Britain's experiment will be watched
with keenest interest. If successful, it will I'M
dOubtedly be copied by other nations.
