AN uNMORTHY MEASURE.

GENATORS and Representatives, regardless OF party
- should let it be known all the people this
that it is not their purpose to have anything
do with the bill that has been introduced in the Legs
lature to change the Christian names Of little school
boy who is tho wealthy parents who divorced
They also should serve emphatic notice upon the law
yers and the lobbyists who are hanging around the
State House and working in behalf Of that bill that 1t
is not the purpose of lawmakers to permit the
Delaware Legislature to be used a publicity bureau
for the airing of a domestic scandal about which
entirely too much already has been said both in print
and out OF print Il is humiliatng to think that any
part Of the time OF the legislative department Of
ereign state is being used in the consideration Of bill
that is unsayory and sinister in its underlying
tive as this one is understood to be.
IL Is not a legitimate function OF the Legislature
make warfare upon a woman and a child, both Of whom
doubtless have had more than their fair share of
tai anguish a result Of the widespread publicity
that has attended family trouble and disruption 1t
would be far better for the Legislature TO kin the bin
forthwith and necessary pass proposed constitu
tonal amendment yestng in our civil courts the sole
power to pass upon such nane-changng requests
the embodied in the bill now under discussion.
That might not suit the wcll-pal lawyers who
importunng the lawmakers to pass the bill, and the
lobby which, it is understood is cooperating with
them but it will suit the people and they the
tho members Of the Legislature should try 10 suit
The House, mislcd, acted with precpitate haste IN
acting upon this bill It is to It's credit that when it
gained fair idea OF its nature It rcconsidered its aS
orabe vote. Now let it take tho one other necessary
step and kill it and thereby show tho lawyers and
lobbyists and all others concerned that the Legislature
OF the State of Delaware has too much respect for itself
to make warfare upon defenseless woman and her
equally defenseess child to have it's proceedings,
published broadcast and innot mental anguish upon
either OF them.
We are informed that all three counties are repre-
sented in the legal contingent that has been employed
to work to put this bill through and that lawyers who
prominent in politics and who supposed to have
influence with members of the Legislature included
in the number. Certainly the question whether this
little boys shall be changed is not political
and political pull with the members should have
nothing whatever 10 do with IT, We have said before
and repeat it, if that chds is be changed
it should be by judicial procedure aud with full and
fair understanding Of why It should be changed. and
by the Legislature by Of the pull Of
lawyers with certain members We have objection
TO lawyer earning fat fee. but there is such thing
dear money, for legal services, particularly
when the happiness Of woman and the future OF
child are at stake

THE Anderson bill providing for the surveying and
plotting OF the State oceanfront lands at Reho-
both has passed the Senate and gone to the House
70 protect this seaside property Of the people against
land-grabbers the House should be careful not to
permit Of any provision in the bill which will enable
the commission to sell any Of this land in large plots

that the commissioners named in the bill shall work
at all times for the public interest and not for the
interest Of land grabbing syndicates.
The men who are back Of the Blackstone Rehoboth
Beach Land-Greb bill say that this land only worth
from twenty-five cents to 50 acre. according

a method will make widespread the holdings of such

ing heavy weights.
The building s beng erected entire

amount Of wood being used that the
doors and windows win require In
cons dering the plans Ear. Miller did
not overlook the necessity for a ma
chine shop and he very wisely pro
yided TOR that, which VIII have door
space OF t7f4 square feet
Since The building is only to be
one story high for the present the
plans have been so drawn as to utilize
every inch Of the floor space In ad-
dition to the Office and display win
dows there will be plenty OF room for
a storage and machine shop and two
driveways. The main driveway Will
enter the building from East Burke
street and the second from South
Spring street This arrangement
will prove very convenient and will
make ingress and egress easy and
prevent any delay or loss Of time.
The main driveway viii be in the
center Of the building, on the left
will be a large show window with an
entrance of sufficient size to permit
the handling of the largest cars on
the market. On the right Of the
driveway It has been planned to have
the business office with an entrance
to the public reception room.
And so it can be seen that It is the
purpose of Mr.. Miller in the erection
of the building to provide for every
necessity and at the same time pro
vide for the handling Of the business
with dispatch.
For several years Mr.. Miller was
engaged in the automobile and gar
age business in Hagerstown. lie was
the proprietor of the Central garage,

fe field in which to operate he select
ed Martinsburg, and has shown his
faith in the city's future by investing
his money in IT,
While at Hagerstown he was the
sole agent for the Cadillac Motor
Company. and established quite a rep
utation as a salesman. He disposed
sof his business to the stonebrakef
and Alyy Company, and now comes
to this city to engage in the business
for himself
The building he is now erecting
will cost when completed $4,000, and
will be the most costly and modern
