THE effort to top the Progressive Ticket
with really and truly good and capa-
bic man, has fallen of its own effort, and
the resignation of DR.. George Edward
Reed from that ticket as a candidate for
a seat in the United States Congress, has
probably caused much concern as to who
shall be the victim 70 lead the campaign.
OF course, Senator Drexler is available,
but he has not the prestige of position in
business, social life or the church to at
tract attention from Delaware voters.
The vacancy will be filled by the State
Committee of the Progressive party in
Delaware. even ifRobert G. Houston or
DR.. Layton have to fill the cavein caused
by the action of DR.. Reed resigning.

THE question as to holding a seat in
the Delaware Legislature while an EN-.
ployee of the Federal Government has
held up the action of the special session
Of the Legislature which was called to-
gether last Monday by the Governor for
the purpose Of adopting the work of the
Revised Code Commissioners and to con
firm the nominee for a successor to Judge
Woolley. 1t is very proper that the ques.
tion should be raised and settled by au-
thority of opinion of the legal department
OF the State before any action is taken by
that body, for by this action the validity
of the adoption of the Revised Code by
legally constituted membership of the
Legislature will be placed beyond ques-
ton. The cost of revision. adoption and
printing the laws will approximate thirty
thousand dollars of the peoples money.
and it will not occur again for thirty
years, and it is right that the work is
done beyond question of cavil.

HOTEL IN
DANVILLE
NOW ASSURED AS PEOPLE
ARE TIRED WAITING FOR.
Something To Turn Up"

Tired of waiting for good fairy in
the shape of moneyed individual to
volunteer to build hotel in Danville
to replace the burned Gilcher, the peo-
pie of that city have "gotten down to
brass tacks' and have instituted a
method for the raising of funds for that
purpose something similar to the plan
employed to build our own Kengarlan.
At mass meeting of the citizens of
the town and county held on last Thurs
day. plan was devised and commit
tee composed of eighteen of the rep
resenative citizens of the town and
county, was appointed to solicit funds
for the purpose of erecting a hotel.
This committee has for it's chairman
M. J. A. Quisenberry, a gentleman
who is noted for his capacity for doing
things, a man who has taken the tiller
when hope was abandoned for the put
ting over Of other schemes for the ben
eft of his community, and we have no
doubt that he will bring this undertake
ing to a successful elimination.
We are delighted that our neighbors
have come to the realization of their
pressing needs and we wish them a
speedy and successful browning of their
efforts

ALL TEXT BOOKS
NOT YET ARRIVED

The failure of the recently adopted
text books for the public schools to ar
rive, is proving exceedingly vexatious
to the teachers of the county.
The schools, which usually open on
the first Monday in July, were delayed
a month because cf the failure of the
Book Commission and the publishers to
to agree upon the prices etc of the text
books to be used during the school year.
After the agreement was finally reach
ed. it was determined to open the schools
on August 1st, confidently believing
that all books would be in by that time.
The schools have now been open two
weeks and the books have not all ar
rived up to this time. 1t is exceedingly
annoying because of the fact that the
teachers are unable to organize their
classes or systematic their work until
the full course of study is in the hands
of all the pupils.

THE LATEST IMPROVEMENT
To Lancaster.

Lancaster has an elevated railroad
a fact just the same, and it has been
completed within the last month.
Messrs Hudson and Hughes have had
an elevated siding built from the l. & N
through their coal yards and into the
wards of the Lancaster Mill and Elevat-
or Co. This will enable the running of
loaded coal cars into the plant of Mess
RS Hudson and Hughes. the Milling Co,
and the Light plant, and the cars may
be dumped of their contents, thus
effecting saving of both a great deal
of time and money. The extension is a
massive affair and will accommodate a
good number of cars.

REJECTED BECAUSE OF
PHYSICAL DEFECTS"
Was John Arnold, And He Has Returned
To His Old Position In Lancaster.

John Arnold who left Lancaster to
enter the German army, was turned
down when he reached New York be-
cause of an injury to one of his knees.
John has returned to Lancaster and is
at his old position in the employment
of R. thinner. Mr.. Arnold paid his
own expenses to and from New York,
disdaining to put the now troubled
''fatherland to any expense on his ac-
count. when he was amply able to paw
his own expenses. The following from
the Cincinnati Enquirer gives some idea
of the number of Germans who rushed
to the defense of the flag when the
call came;-
1.-The first demonstration Of the
blockade against transportation of SUBJ
jects to Germany and Austria came
yesterday when over so loyal German
citizens, who had been furnished with
transportation to New York to see about
returning to nigh for fatherland, came
back to Cincinnati. They were the
ones who were able to prove they had
no means topay for their transportation
and were furnished with it by the Ger
man consular here, but were sent back
to Cincinnati by the Imperial German
Consulate in New York. Lack of ships
on which to travel across the water
was the reason they returned. 1t was
supposed that those who paid theil
own fare are doing the same thing"
Mr.. Arnold deeply regrets that hi,
physical condition prevented him goinf
to the support of his country, and hi
does not regret the expense of hi
