CLARKE AND BRYAN.

From the Dover State News
And Speaker Champ Clarke asked the
other day that his name be called on
the question of supplying another as
sistant for Secretary of State BRYAN.
Speaker Clarke asked that his name he
called and he voted with a shout, "No"
IL is Just about two years ago when
Mr.. Clarke was candidate for the
nomination for President and Mr. Bryan
asked that his name be called and the
Baltimore convention said "No." We
thought the convention was wise and
Mr.. Clarke having his name called the
other day was the last incident in
long series that have taken place since
that Baltimore convention. all of which
have served TO convince us that il would
have been nothing less than a disaster

sMYRNA'S DIRTY STREETS.

From the Smyrna Times
One of the most criticised depart-
ments Of Smyrna is its dirty streets,
and despite the fact that certain days
are set aside by Street Supervisor Tur-
ner for cleaning, it is nevertheless a
fact that our streets are dirty. II is
impossible for Mr.. Turner to keep the
streets spotless and attend TO his other
work of hauling, etc. What Council
needs To do is TO inauguratc a syste-
matte plan and employ sufficient labor
TO carry this plan into effect. We favor
putting street cleaning force on sat
urday night and having the streets clean
for sunday instead of this, the clean
inc is LETT on I until Monday and paper,
litter and rubbish are blown about the
streets and cutters, an unsightly APP
pcnrancc TO clurch goers. pedestrians
and visitors. Along with beautiful
shade trees aud well kept lawns and
homes, there IS nothing that adds so
much 10 a town as clean streets, and
there is NO excuse why we cannot have
them every SUNDAY and an days of the
week a little systematic effort on the
part of Smyrna Town Council can easily
bring this ahout Instead of being so
eager to pay oil the street improvement
debt. would't it be a wiser plan to leave
a portion Of this TO be paid of by future
generations aud spend some of the
towns earnings in lettering the surface
conditions of the macadam streets we
have. laying more macadam streets and
keeping them clean. A clean, sanitary
looking town, "town beautiful, -
should be the aim of every town com
missioner and every public-spirited citi-
zen. Let us have good clean streets.

QUICK LUNCH AND SANITATION.

q o many Wimingtonians patronize quick lunch places

Of such places
Wilmington Del, July i. 1914
TO the Editor OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir-I trust you win allot me space In your paper
for the following article.
II is a matter of Importance to the public generally
but especially to those compelled by force OF cir
cumstances TO obtain their susienance at the various
quick lunch counters IN Wilmington that greater sani
tary be instituted I'm such places than are at
present I'm force.
For instance the common way of washing a drinking
glass hurriedly dip II in water usually cold and it
is then ready for again IL is absurd to suppose
that such superficial cleansing can remove any deposit
OF matter that may be cngng the rim Of the glass.
In instances water coolers are not given the prop
attention imparting disagreeabe taste and odor to
the water. and making il a possible medium for the
transmission Of disease cooler should be kept abb
solutely clean.
While eating in rertaurant in this city on one oc-
casion the ICrscn ii question taking up the fork

with natter In tho Quck-lunch houses particularly
thu knives forks. and spoons generally greasy due
doubt to iher having been wiped of with dirty
and greasy towel.
In some places flies are permitted gain the ascep-
dency
n would certainly seem that the propretors of such
places should at least feel morally obliged to conduct
teir establishments sanitary This could
lily be done and still allow them legitimate profit.
As a remedy for such unwholesome conditions, It
might well subject restaurants cafes etc. to rigid

All that we can learn at university

We do not expect many OF those who
pursue home courses OF study to be
like Shakespeare or Edison, or to add by
their Investigations to the sum of human
knowledge But what they can ex-
poet is to be competent, intelligent or
even learned men and women. They
can be able to know literature or sci
ence or history or philosophy. They
can be able to criticize and Judge. They
can tell bad from good, false from true.
They need not be misled by charlatans
in science OF politics or sociology. They
can appreciate the beautiful in art or
poetry, and can know and tell why they
love it. They can have the enjoyment

tai growth and equipment. 1t is to give
inspiration to such ambitious young
people and old that Chautauqua courses
and university extension courses are Of
fered. And it is the dearest ambition
of the editors Of The Independent to
help in such happy training-not to
give mere amusement but to teach both
kowledge and wisdom; to provide the
instruction and the inspiration that viii
give force to character, and discrimina
tion in enjoyment, and the basis for a
sound Judgment on all the main lines
along which humanity is moving on TO

For His glorious banners Ger earth

And once rid of doubt, it is true as

That the heart from all worries and
