Editorial Opinion
THE Old YEAR pAssING.

From the Milford Chronicle.
With this issue passes the year 1913,
and with it goes many experiences,
pleasures and disappointments; but. af-
ter ali, life is made up of much the
same happenings och year, and our
pleasures, our trouble and our ambitions
vary only as the widening experience is
sble to view and take advantage of The
opportunities. As life passes the capac-
ity to enjoy recurring situations either
IN business or pleasure, change with the
very nature of the life we are living, and
as the responsibility rests heavier, en-
thu-iasm fails to respond in its wonted
eNhuberance; but nevertheless life brings
happiness under all conditions. As a
whole the year 1913 has been filed with
the advanced opportunities, which have
helped to make the whole community
happier and better, and the coming year
OF 1914 will be q su c-ss or failure, Just
in proportion a. we put forth intelli-
gent effort for the purpose of building
up the home, the community and the
State. Look upon the broader side of
affairs, and they will affect not only the
self. but of the community. and act for
the best interest of the whole; when this
point is reached, the individual will be
better and have more opportunity to
progress toward individual success and
happiness. To one and all we commend
this thought. and wish a happy and
prosperous New Year

Neither package has been received. Therefore, you
viii see, the express company Is not the only de-
lnQuent
True; and yet we feel sure that our FELTON, cor
respondent will admit that there is vast difference
between delay Of year by express company
transporting package from Mddletown to Whining
ton a distance OF twenty-five miles, and delay of
from four and ten days in the transportation OF
parcel post packages between Felton, Del, and
Camden. ~ No doubt by the time his appears both
packages will have reached their destinations. We
doubt however that much may be said with re-
spect to the express package shipped from Middle

STOP IT ALTOGETHER

From the Elkton Whig
1t has for some time, been evident TO
those familiar with the way things are
done at election times. that the prac-
ticc of vote-buying has not been prohib-
tied by all our attempted remedial leg
islation. 1t has simply resulted in a
change of the method by which the cor
ruption fund is handled There is album
dant and unimpeachable testimony to
the fact that the envelope system of vot-
ing at primaries and the permission
to use unlimited sums OF money in hir-
ing conveyances, messengers, etc, are
simply loopholes for vote buying.
There is a pleace to get in some good
work at this legislature, by those who
are sincerely opposed to corrupt prac-
tees in connection with our elections.
If we are going to stop the thing, why
not stop it effectively instead of invit-
ing evasion of the law as it now stands

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR SAYINGS.

ok months after the POSTAL savings bank system
- became operative there were in the United
States 1875 depositors and deposits aggregating
s6T.ll5. on June 30 19l8, two and onehalf years
after the system established the number of de-
positors had increased TO S3i, ,006 and the amount
OF their deposits had grown to SSS,slS,s7O
Let il not be forgotten that it by Republican
administration that the portal savings system was
established Nor has II yet reached the full flood of
its efficiency in the matter OF teaching men, women
and children 70 save money. 1t is proposed by
Third Assistant Postmaster-General Dockery that
the Federal Government shall naugurate campaign
OF education among the people for the purpose OF
teaching them the value Of thrift. Such campaign,
properly conducted, should stimulate interest not
only in the postal savings bank but also in the spen-
did work that is being done by prvately-controlled
savings institutions.
