EDITORIAL OPINION

sion movement which the Lever Bill,
now before Congress, is designed to
promote, meets the approval of the
Governor as a means of bringing di-
rectly home to the farmer actual in
formation demonstrating the most adj
vanced methods of farming; and he
suggests that when this measure be-
comes operative our State should be
prepared to pass such legislation as
will enable our farmers to obtain all
the benefits to be extended by the ma
tional government under this act.
The good work Of the State Library
Commission is commended, and
more liberal recognition Of the men
and women composing the commission
is bespoken.
The Governor manifests a deep in
terest in a revision of our present in
effective marriage laws, and asks that
they be amended forthwith. He makes
some pertinent and valuable sugges-
tons concerning needed restrictions in
relation to marriage, most of them in
line with the provisions Of the Ellison
Bill now before the Legislature, in the
draft of which it seems probable he
had a hand. The Governor truly says
that the existence Of laws which per-
NIT such conditions as we now have
"refects discredit upon our institu-
tions and upon our people"
What the Governor says with re-
spect to delays in disposing Of litiga-
ton before our courts is pertinent be-
cause of the general criticisms that
have been INDUCED in on that score,
but we are assured by members Of the
bar of this county that this is not a
serious matter in Delaware, and has
not been for some years. Our own OBJ
servations bea. out this conclusion.
But assuming that there is some de-
lay, now and then, which cannot be
denied, the same authorities inform
US that legislation is not needed to
remedy the evil. The courts now have
full power in the premises and may,
by a simple rule of court, compel
prompt disposition of the causes be-
fore them.
Desertion of wives by their hus-
bands, and non-support Of children by
their parents, is topic of vital inter
est to every citizen, and the Governor
discusses it in a sympathetic manner,
and offers some practical suggestions
for a.remedy of the evil. The courts
he believes should be given broader
powers in such cases, to the end that
delinquent may be compelled to per
form his duty to his family and tC
society.
Especially valuable are the Govern
or's expressions upon the subject OF
good roads. In no sense does he over
/ estimate the benefits to be derived
from the work of extending and i'm
( proving our avenues Of communica
ton. He puts the whole argument 70

communication, such as good roads, is
rendered impossible"
Surprise mas been expressed that
the Governor had nothing to say spe-
officially concerning the DUPONT Boule-
ward; but this was not necessary.
That project is now before the SUI
preme Court of the United States, and
a discussion Of its merits was prob
ably regarded as out Of order. Fur
thermore, the approval of good roads,
generally, necessarily implies an APP
prevail of the DUPONT Boulevard as a
good road project, disassociated from
those features of the enterprise which
have brought it into litigation In
other words, the presumption is that
Governor Miller approves Of all good
roads, which necessarily includes the
DUPONT Boulevard, and it was unnec-
essary for him to be more specific
than he was upon the subject. We
agree heartily with the suggestion
that State aid should be extended to
the two lower counties in the matter
Of improved highways, and the Gov
ernor's proposition to create a road
commission of representative men
with ample powers to supervise the
construction and maintenance Of
roads in Kent and Sussex, upon
modern scientific and systematic plan,
is one that should receive the thought
full consideration which its source and
its Importance demand. But we can
not agree with the Governor that this
commission should serve without COM
pensation. We have too much of that
sort Of thing in Delaware now, and
while as a rule we get good service
from those public officials who serve
for little or no pay, yet the old scrip
tural saying, "the laborer is worthy
Of his hire" is one that should not be
forgotten. We believe better service
can be had by paying those who serve
the public according TO the service
rendered, on the same basis that the
same service would command in pri-
vate employ. However, that is merely
a detail, and does not detract in the
least from the sound position taken by
Governor Miller on the subject of
good roads.
The attitude Of the Governor to-
ward the question Of a simplified bal
lot, with the incidental repeal of the
voters assistant law, is one that will
receive the earnest approval Of every
citizen who desires that our elections
shall be the honest expression of the
full voice of the people. 1t is true
that the Governor does not directly
mention the voters assistant law, but
he does say there is Every pressing
need for the enactment Of a law by
the present Legislature which will
provide a plain and simplfied ballot
one which will enable the voter to hav,
his intent, in marking his ballot, prop
erly interpreted; his vote counted
{ and the necessity for assistants en-
! tirely abolished" The italicised phras
is plainly aimed at the voters assist
ant law, and in asking for its repeal
in connection with the passage of
simplihed ballot law, the Governo
gives evidence that he has not forgot
ten his ante-election promise on tina
score.
/ Taken in detail, and as a whole, tn
message commands respect both as t.
its spirit and its form, and should af
ford valuable assistance to the mem
bers Of the General Assembly in thu
performance of their duty.

of great interest to all newspaper

pointed paragraphs:
What is free publicity
1T is the achievement of of desire
on the part of an advertiser to get
something for nothing
And, AS IA rule, it is worth even less
than it costs.
THE newspaper which gives free
advertising is either very poor

that it's business management is below

Successful newspapers are the best
advertising mediums. They do not
have to throw in free advertising in
order to get business, any more than
the high class tailor has to throw in"

clothes.
"Nt wspaper men are at fault for the
growth of free advertising. Free
publicity originated because advertisers
took advantage of the standard of bust

AN APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.

when the Democratic State Central
committee closed it's Office on the night
of election last fall it was in debt about
81 800 for legitimate expenses con-
tracted to carry on the campaign in
Wisconsin. Chairman Paul A. Hemmy
of juneau, working in conjunction with
National Committeeman Joseph E.
Davies, has been trying to collect this
amount OF money by voluntary con-
tributions from Wisconsin Democrats,
but up to this time he has only succeed =
ed in reducing the Indebtedness to about
IS, 800.
The Democratic party of Wisconsin
has "A splendid opportunity to carry the
state next year, but it cannot expect to
win unless this deficit Of 81, 800 is wiped
ont before the campaign opens Demo
Gratis who have the welfare of the party
Mt heart will not hesitate to contribute
their mite to this worthy cause.
Thus says p. A. Badour, president of
the Wisconsin Democratic press asso-
citation in his paper The Oconto County
Enterprise. This debt ought to be
wiped out and the party treasury re-
plenished. In Iowa county contribu
tons may be made to A. &. Roethe Of
Highland, j. w. Horn of Mineral Point
or to this office, and they will be
promptly forwarded to Paul Hemmy,
chairman of the state central committee.
