rMo rERTINENT QUESTION:.

1.-TWO pertinent questions are asked by the Delaware
n Good Roads Association in circular Just issued.
They
"shan Sussex county have good roads bad ones?'
"shau we educate children, or let them grow
up in ignorance?'
The association holds that the questions are OF
equal Importance in their particular directions II urges
that Sussex county be bonded to obtain money for
good that the money be spent through road
commission and not through the Levy Court
Il is contended by the association that education
builds the man and that good roads build conditions
that hold educated a community. Il adds
The two questions hand in hand-we have all
along been convinced that we must educate our boys
and girls 10 prepare them 20 compete In the battle
of life and must make conditions such as VIII
invite and tempt boys and girls Co stay M our
midst-to stay at home-to stay on the farm
Good roads i'm a community give the same advantage
over a community with bad roads as an educated man
has over the who is uneducated
Who will choose bad conditions In preference 10
good conditions ,,
Who viii choose ignorance in preference to knoWl-
edge?
1t is the object Of this association to have the i'm
coming Legislature pass bin TO bond our county
for sufficient sum TO build sood roads Is therefore
necessary that elect 90 Legislature such men
viii favor the bonding Of the county-men who prefer
And now reader it is your duty to see the candi-
dates in your district and ask them the question Are
/ YOU for good roads or bad roads?
Wn YOU vote i'm Legislature to bond our. county
for road building? And don't be misled by the
II the candidate on your ticket cannot tell you what
ne will do this road question ask the candidate
the other ticket and vote for the who knows what
he will donoyer mind political PARTIES look out for
your own condition and wofare-vote for
the man who will help you. Too often have gone
TO the polls and voted for tickets who had
nothing special in view but onice-roo often have We
sent men TO our Legislature TO represent who did
| not represent anything anybody. but amlessls
| fiji seat and answer to the beck of politics and
politicians
It is therefore duty-your duty to cast your vote
for man who is for the upbuid of county, ant
II Is incumbent On every man 10 make it his particular
| business TO ascertain who the candidate Is VIII,

the welfare of the people he represents and vot
FOR that man, irrespective of which political party he IL
connected with.
Farmers. did YOU ever stop to think; you rock-rib

men but the farmer? How much longer will Won carr
the bag with the going the other fellow? Whe
TO start
Good roads more to the farmer than anythin
else that could be done for him-a law that will brin
aboul soou ROADS means more for the people of Sus
sex county than all the balance the laws combine
Will mean that are enacted for county
start now on a campaign for yourself See you

Don't be mised by calamity howlers and that elias
