FORMER GOVERNOR TUNNEL AND
FORMER CONGRESSMAN BURTON
SEE GREAT GOOD IN BOULEVARD

Of any road after Il is
once constructed. The people Of this
county have never been aroused 10
the importance OF subsurface drain
age and If that matter We're demon
strated by competent engineers so
that they would get TO understand the
principles upon which god drainage
could be accomplishe. ] think the
people of this county would be willing
to make the outlay TO affect this inn
provement Of existing conditions.
But the underlying principles OF
sub-surface drainage is the elimina-
tion Of all water powers in this
county, for the reason that the coun-
try is too fiat to permit Of the dam
ming the water back to the center,
and thereby causing artificial swamps.
That's all We have in this county; it's
all artificial swamp land; all made by
the old process of damming up the
streams for power in the early days
when such things as steam, gasoline
and electricity were unknown. Sus-
sex county should issue bonds and
raise money to pay for all the water
powers in the county. take them out,
and clear out the natural streams
which make perfect drainage. II such
a thing should be recommended by a
corps of engineers who had no per-
sonal interest in it, the people would
listen 20 them, and take advantage Of
their advice.
Il believe 9S per cent. Of all the
people in this county want the DUPONT
road. I don't think there is any op-
position excepting from some people
who have disposition 10 get a big
price for the land that it takes from
their holdings. / believe every one
has been fairly compensated for their
lands

LEWES, Del, April 25-Two Of the
foremost residents of Lewes, as well
as ofs the entire State, are advocates
Of the dupont Boulevard.
One is Ebe W. Tunnel, prominent
Democrat. former Governor of Della
ware, and president of tho Farmers
Bank at Georgetown.
The other is DR.. Hiram r. Burton,
prominent Republican. former Con-
gressman and identified with several
business enterprises.
FORMER GOVERNOR SAYS
OPINION FAVORABLE.
Former Governor Tunnel to a
representative of THE EVENING
JOURNAL said about the boulevard
project:
public opinion i'm Sussex county
in general is favorable TO the con-
struction of the DUPONT road, since II
will be of much value to the State
and it's people There is little op-
position TO its construction as far as
can see, excepting in places where
the survey runs across some person s
property in such manner as TO de-
stroy the usefulness of a portion for
purposes OF cultivation.
Every public improvement carries
with Il public benefit, and this should
be no exception. I believe that had
General dupont been somewhat more
frank with the people regarding his
plans for the boulevard. much critic
ism and opposition would never have
developed ! do not think that pru-
pie should have been too enthusiastic
regarding the road 10 have overlooked
safeguarding themselves and their
prosperity, however. l have seen
much of that. When the Junction
and Breakwater Railroad was con-
templated. and they were securing
their right of way, people gladly gave
il. but when they afterward thought
of such matters as ingress and egress
and the fencing of the right OF way
as a protection TO their stock, they
went TO the railroad people about IL
and We're told 10 look after the safety
of their own stock, which was not. q
matter for the consideration OF thf
railroad officials. There was much
dissension, and some litigation before
matters we're finally adjusted to the
satisfaction Of all.
"People do not thoroughly under
stand what the idea in securing such
a wide strip of land means. and dc
/ think il would have been better policy
10 have taken them into Mr. dupont
confidence. and told them all about sc

BURTON CHAMPIONS IT,

a member Of Congress made him IA
miliar TO the few Delawareans who
did not know him before that time, at
once expressed his opinion Of the road
matter and gave a suggestion regard
ing the general road situation and a
remedy for the bad highways in Sus-
sex county that is worthy of instant
attention and grave consideration He
dictated this statement in his office
here, where he is a practicing physi-
clan, as everybody knows:
II believe that q road such as Mr.
DUPONT intends 10 build through the
entire length Of the State would cause
the greatest boom in real estate that
Delaware has ever seen. ] think IL
will be the beginning of new business
and farming methods in this county
and that il will not only benefit the
people near il, but increase the value
of real estate within ten miles Of the
road from so per cent TO 100 per cent
"I speak more for Sussex county
than the other two counties, becaua e
don't know so much about their con-
ditions up there. ! believe that if

pushed as rapidly as il was possible
TO do ii. that before it was completed
there would be a road built by Sussex
county from Lewes 10 Seaford. from
east 10 west across the county. which
would be ready for use by the time
the DUPONT road was completed. /
don't say that there would be a ma
cadam road built but a good road
constructed of such material as we
have on hand.
"The mistake which I think was
made by General duPonts engineers
was by not laying greater stress upon
the importance OF sub-surface drain

that as one of. the essentials of easy

had a notice sent to the German
American Alliance stating that vote
for one of the opposition candidates
meant vote against personal privi-

listing the aid of certain church peo-
pie by making them believe that the
other candidates were dominated by
the breweries. Eberhart is always

Many thousands of little eyes have
sparkled once from beds of

ped with joy, many little weary brok-
en- hearts. many infant forms. bruis-
ed by deformity, deadened by desease
crushed by poverty, have awakened
to a newer life, and felt again the
quickening pulses of health, by your
aid and inspiration.
You have brought hope to children
whose troublous lives have been
ourdened by adversely. You have
put a smile upon the face of sorrow
planted violets on the path that in
FAINT feet must tread. You have put
dimples on wan cheeks in alleys
where the sunlight never falls. You
have brought a song instead of sor-
row, laughter instead of tears. hope
instead of despair, love instead of
hate, health instead of disease.
You message has come into the
chamber of sorrow like the sweet
breath of spring. like the song of a
bird in the shadows. like the first ray
of morning at the breaking of the
night.
From palace and hovel, every
child that has ever lisped the name
of Santa Claus, rises to bless your
name; and not from children's lips

young and old, all in one universal
