END THIS TRESPASSING.

So many persons have been killed and
injured and so much damage has been
done by trespassing on the railroad lines
in this State that the incoming Legislature
should pass a law to put an end to it.
/ There is no valid reason whv any person
should trespass upon the right of way OF
a railroad, and yet there are thousands of
persons who seem to regard a right of
way as common public .hOroughfare
Because of that, and of the absence of an
adequate trespass law, scores of men
women and children have been killed
and manned in our three counties in past
years, and score of others will be killed
and manned unless remedial legislation
be enacted.
The campaign of education that is be-
ing conducted by the PENNSYLVANIA and
other railroad companies is all right so
far as it goes. The trouble is that there
are hundreds of persons who refuse to be
educated and the trespass continues
Every little while we read in the news
papers of men. women or children being
run down by trains and killed, or Grip
pied for life. In practically all instances
investigation reveals that trespassing was
at the bottom of the accidsnt. The com
panies may pursue their educational cam.
paign as far as they desire to do so; civic
organizations may enlist themselves in
that behalf, and moral suasion may be
exhausted. Despite all that, unless ade
qrate punishment be provided many per
sons will persist in taking their lives in
their hands by using the rights of way as
ordinary thorOughfares
In the last Legislature the Senate, by
vote, passed an anti trespass
bill 1t was lost in the House. This ses
sion, there should be affirmative action |
by both houses, to the end that Delaware
may do its part toward reducing the |
frightful mortality ard injury that grow
out OF such trespass. When those who |
are inclined to indulge in such trespass
realize that it will be followed by arrest,
conviction and punishment, they will |
abandon practice that has to its discredit |
a mortality list that shocks all who read

MILFORD NECK

The women of Milford Neck will GER
tainly not have any just cause to blame
the men for not having provided ample
supplies of stove wood for them during
the coming summer season, as traction
engines and gasoline engines have been

the wood and the men splitting great
piles for the stoves. The farmers know
this is an actual saving of money Tor

HARRINGTON WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE

The annual election for the town OF
Harrington was held last Tuesday, and
there was no opposition to the ticket
elected Of a serious nature, and the
new Town Council, though composed of
all new men but one, will follow the
policy which has been pursued by its
predecessors, as far as building two or
more blocks of macadam street, with
concrete curb and gutter, from the gen
eral fund each year without creating a
bonded debt. The new council will be
composed Of the following men. who
Will elect their own president and secre-
tary, viz; VIM. E. Ross, Robert d.
Short, Alfred Raughley, Arlie Porter
and Henry DickersOn. The collector
elect is VIM. Simpson and the treasurer
is Benjamin Knox.
Harrington has done much work i'm
proving streets in the past four years,
ana at the present time owes only S285.
on account of all the improvements
which have been made. This is pay
as-you-go policy that has worked very
satisfactory to the taxpayers.
A new shirt factory has been opened
here this month and it is working full
time with fifteen operatives, and the
management desires to double the num-
Der, as they have work to keep them
going.
Another moving picture theatre is to

attract the better class of patrons.
The Methodist Choir prepared very
lne program Of music for the Christmas
holidays, but by combination of cir
cumstances, the rendering of the music
was postponed from time to time, until

stopped the Christmas services because /
OF dlphtherla cases which made it neces- !
sary to prevent any public gatherings, |
ana the service was postponed. At the
tlme set, one Of the members of the
choir. Mr.. Franklin had died, the second
postponement was made, and the ser i
wee was rendered on Sunday last. Four
OF the Harrington choir went to Dover
on tuesday to assist in the musical ser
wees IN the Peoples Church there. I
Most OF the large residences in Har-
rlngton have been equipped with steam
heating plants this winter, and the last
OF the many that have been installed,
was IN the handsome home of John P.
Masten on Weiner Avenue.
The arrest Of the illicit sellers of whis-
Key at Bridgeville, Milford and Green
wood by United States officials the past
few days, caused some of the ringlead-
ers in that business to become fright
ened, and while the detectives were
rounding up one of the men from Mil
ford Monday night, the stock and Man
ayers slipped away for parts unknown.
The officers will round up the main
offender in time for the next term of
court, as the people are generally
aroused against the public nuisance
which has resulted from his actions.

The agitation has been made
for years past to have the license
for the sale of liquor, be made not
less than FIVE hundred dollars pei
annum, and that part Of this shall
go to the city or town where the
license is used. The Revenue Com
mission has decided to recommend
this to the incoming Legislature, and
urge its enactment into law. We
have views on this subject, which
may seem radical to both sides of
this question view point. If we are
10 have license at all, and the
liquor business be made a perferred
monopoly for a few to get rich in,
then the license should be not less
than one thousand dollars per year,
and half go to- the city or town
where it is used; but if the liquor
business should be on its merits as
a part of the mercantile business
of Delaware, then we firmly believe
that any person who will plank
down the amount of the license fix
ed by the legislature as a requisite
to conduct liquor sale business,
should have the right to go to the
officer authorized to issue such a
license, and get his certificate of
authority to do business without t
further ado. If the business is of
Importance, to have it {
conducted in any state, then why
should the state for a paltry sum '
give to those engaged in it an ex- :
elusive monopoly of the business ? c
Let it be free for all. Down with
monopolies, even in the liquor +
business. y

BOXING bouts are prohibited by
law in Delaware, and this woulc
seemto be means to discourage the
manly art of self-defence, and un.
doubtedly it does, but the condition
which had grown up under the box
ing laws of former days, was such
that real and actual prize fights were
pulled off under the guise of boxing
and to prevent this abuse of the
laws, the Legislature undoubtedly
enacted the stringent laws now in
force. We can see no reason why
a friendly boxing match between
two evenly matched men should
not be permitted, under proper re-
gulations. in Delaware. The gym
nasiums. the athletic clubs and the
various collegiate departments for
training athletes, are all means
which should be encouraged to
teach the youth how to take care
Of themselves when the occasion
should arise, and they will do great
good along the lines of development
ofthe human body into a healthy
state as we'll as for training in self
defense. Pugilism forty years ago,
was brutal affair, and cause for
this was the mercenary end of the
business. There should be a way
TO train the boys and even girls, to
be able to so handle their arms and |
fists, as to be capable of taking cafe |
Of themselves, by delivering a good |
hefty punch where it will do the
most effective good at once, and |
if the present laws will not permit
this, then they must be so amended
that we can have the result desired
