SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
A GOOD TOMN.

From the Smyrna Times.
This is a good town. let us get all
the good out of it we can. The way
to get the good out of land is to i'm
prove it. The way to get the good
out of town is to develop it. It is
poor farm that is all pasture. It
ought to be worked. He is a poor
farmer who is content to take merely
what nature sends. He is a poor citi-
zen who is willing to let the town
shift for itself, taking only such bene-
fits as come without labor. The man
who is satisfied to harvest merely
what comes up will have to live on a
diet Of weeds. II you want to see
Symrna grow, remember that you are
part of il and that its growth de-
ponds as much on you as on your
neighbOrs. Don't get the idea that
the future prosperity of this town
rests with a few, for it is the business
of the many. Above all, don't criticise
those who are trying to upbuild the
community and do nothing yourself.
They at least have the proper spirit
and just as long as you deny them
your support, just that much harder
their work will be. Be a booster for
the town and lend your cooperation
to all enterprises that are in our
midst.

GOVERNOR MILLER AND UNIFORMITY.

=, OyERNOR CHARLES II. MILLER, Of this State
IT has accepted an invitation TO attend and TO de-
n,or an address before the Conference Of Governors
which viii be held IN Madison, Wisconsin, next week
His subject viii be the uniformity Of laws fixing the
conditions TO be met by foreign corporations before
they are permitted TO do business IN State. IL
IS a broad and an important one, We have no doubt
the governors uttcrances will be a valuable contri-
button to the great mass of opinion that already has
been expressed in this and other states upon that mat
ter.
That uniformity is highly desirable there can be no
question That something has been gained in that d.
rocton cannot be denied At the same time. there is
much that might be done for the protection Of the
public II representatives of the several states could get
together and approach the subject with open minds
and with an eye single TO the public interest
When foreign corporation asks for leave TO transact
business In state It should be in position to satisfy
the officials of that State that il is honestly oficered
that It is actuated by impulse and that it's plan
OF operation is such that It will be in position to meet
Its proper obligations We think little difficulty should
be experienced inducing the several States to agree
upon those fundamentals. even though they may vary
IN opinion as to details.
II Governor Millers address be Of such nature
70 appeal the sound judgment Of the other governors,
and If they carry their respective States the
germs Of his discourse and spread them, there
IS no telling what good it may accomplish in the way
