AT no time has there been any question IN the pub

people whether he sent his message 10 Congress and
had It read carried Il personally into the halls Of

before the American people has been and still Is
whether he Will be able to make OF Congress his
partner in the assault he contemplates upon a pro-
tectiVe tariff that has built up American industries and
prosperity and made them what they are today An
encouraging feature Of the situation is that he will
be able to carry out his full plan OF assault There
Democratic members OF Congress who already

past We are candidy Of the opinion that the
people Of the State heartily glad that both houses
have adjourned sine die and that their members have
dispersed to give attention to their private affairs In
a OF ways the session has been disappointment
to the public, particularly in the matter Of having
failed to do things that should have done Three
commendabe things done In the eleventh hour OF
the session. One To- pass act to enable the
Federal Government to take title to land on the
Chrstiana river it might establish suitable sta
ton for the harbor dredge that is to be stationed
here result of good work done in Washington
by Senator DUPONT Another the making OF a
$4,000 appropriation for the Delaware Industrial
School for Girls The third making provision
to have our state represented at the Panama Canal
exposition in San Francisco
If the two houses had acted with the same inte-
gence, patriotism and celebrity other important mat
ers that they did those mentioned above their work
would have merited the approval OF the public AS it

LEeIsLAIuRE. REACTIONARIEs AND GOOD ROADs

0NE OF the worst Of the many sins Of omission com
- mitted by the Legislature that just is closing its
biennial session was the failure to provide for the
construction OF the DUPONT Boulevard. General r.
Coleman DUPONT made every concession that
consistent with honesty and fair dealing between
He much farther than most any man
would have gone under the circumstances. And
yet the Legislature permitted an opportunity to
slip by which, IL seized would have given to the
people of the State the benefit Of 100000 boule
ward extending the length Of the state and connect
ing at the north with the Pennsylvania good roads
system and the south with the Maryland good roads
system. The upshot Of It all is that for two years
longer. in all likelihood. nothing practical will be
done on This great project and little will be done
10 supply to the people any adequate substitute for IT,
II is true that New Castle county will spend some
money In building good roads and that Kent county.
under the Walls bill. will do something in the road
building line but those activities, which viii cost
property owners and taxpayers much money, will be
nothing when compared with the magnificent road
General DUPONT proposed to build and give to the
people of the State
IL is unfortunate that while other States arc maxi
ing such rapid progress in good road building,
ware is doing little. Il also is matter of regret
that reactonary and selfish interests have succeeded
in blocking General duPonts highly
project
Figures received and estimates compiled by the
United States good roads bonds aggregating about
s3650O000O have been authorized and that all except
perhaps $4,000 900 Sl5.O0OOOO outstanding. In
the two-year period ended December 81. 1911. more
than $4,000 miles of improved roads constructed
In the United States. That total rs 10000 miles greater
than the entire mileage Of the national roads in
France And yet. in that total OF good road construc
ton for those two years, Delaware figured TO
ceedlngly small degree when Of the oldest
States, IL should have been In the forefront It's
rs small its grades its facilities for the de-
livery OF road-buding material ample. In fact
" has everything essential except the OF pub
nc spirit needed TO beat down reactonary and sell
hsh opposition to the good roads movement To-
menied chiefly by politicians and those who have fat
tened upon the existing make shift road system in our
State The day Of full awakening has not yet arrived,
but II will come; and. when IL does, the people will
deal summarily With those who have stood betwee8
them and he enjoyment OF the DUPONT Boulevard ane
other good roads
