In the twinkling of an eye.

And no horses be at their side.

In white, in black, in green.

ministration. yet it is not enough that
industry shall be retarded and that
our own people shall be idle upon the
streets. We must stand idly by while
the administration at Washington
pursues its 'watchful waiting" policy in
Mexico instead of recognizing the only
constituted authority in that country
and hear his demands for the repeal
of that clause of the Panama Canal
act exempting the coastwise shipping
of the United States from the payment
of tolls at the behest of England.
There has not been in generation
such an exhibition of insincerity and
the breaking of platform promises as
year. Within the last week We have
been given proof of the barter and
sale of Federal positions in the inter-
est of one faction of the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania. Federal off,
cials are going up and down the State
denouncing Republicans and praising
those men who a year or two ago
took over the Democratic party as
their own personal asset. Yet these
same men preached from the house.
tops political decency, denounced as
corrupt every man who stood in the
pathway of their ambition, promised
the regeneration of the government
from top to bottom, decried the use
of public office in the building up of
political machines and then proceeded
at the first opportunity to do them
selves what they had charged against
others.
But in spite of the protests of the
Civil Service Association. the exposure
of the trafficking in offices and the
peanut politics which has character
lied the dominant faction of the
Democratic party, these same men are
now travelling over the State in
sisting that President Wilson must be
supported and their ambition gratified
in order that the purity of govern
ment shall be maintained.
But political hysteria is rapidly
passing and sanity is taking its place.
1t is not going to be possible this year
to deceive the people as they were de-
ceived before by false promises and
demagogic appeals.

fortune without so much as batting an

preston beneath the lids of their ma
hogany roll-tops when they slip away
to the league grounds. Men who
frown at the very mention of emotion
fling their hats into the air and yell

After the game they become nor

more symptoms of the kind until the
lure Of the ball park gets into their

Nobody need be ashamed Of this. 1t

of being shelved because of accumu-

play as enthusiastically at sixty as
they did at sixteen is strong with the

s@as es':'iiisd Roofing cus'sa.sssz D"ias'"'z
Since we have been giving reg
ular written guarantee on Certain
teed Roofing, one class of COM
petitors has been saying that their
roofing will generally last twenty
years, or longer They don't
guarantee it, however, at all. It's
very easy TO talk, talk, talk and say
any number of years in such talk,
but responsible concerns must
know all about their roofing if they
do any more than talk-they must
know their roofngs really do last
when they sign printed guarantee
of plain requirements that the roof.
ing shall make good. OF course,
the irresponsible type-those who
are likely to go out of business soon
can sign anything. 1t very I'M
portant that the buyer should not
be caught in such trining manner
Another very important thing is, these
talk guarantees are offered on the cheapest
goods the manufacturers make; not being
real guarantees, there is no risk. They say
nothing about their highest priced brands
qualities-just offer the cheapest thing
they have-offer atalk guarantee on cheap
goods equal to the real guarantee given on
Certain-teed Roofing. It's funny how
many people they catch on such things!
When you buy piece of roofing you
should know---and know in writing
that it is the best quality--best brand
goods made by that manufacturer. Re-
member-make him put this in writing,
that it is his best in every way, and then
have the guarantee in writing and prop
erly signed, too.
1t pays to be careful in buying goods
where the quality could not be judged
by the sample-where everything must
depend upon the standing and ability Of
the manufacturer to make good over
long period of years in the future
Certain-teed Roofing is sold at reason-
able price everywhere by dealers who
believe in giving unsurpassed quality at
fair profit. The amount of Certain.
teed Roofing required for an average
root, say ten squares, will cost less than
S. over the cheap mail order grade.
This small initial cost is saved many
times in the fifteen years wear which is
covered by the manufacturers sguarantee.

nj waste thought of sympathy
on the four New York gunner
who were executed this morn
ing for the murder of Herman Rosen-
thai. They were guilty, unquestion-
ably, and life would not have been
worth living in New York had they
escaped with anything less than the
supreme penalty. Murder would have
lurked around every corner and paid
assassins would have laughed in the
face of justice.
But how about Becker-the man
higher up? Is the official who in
spired the murder to escape? Is it
possible that his ill-gotten gains are
to provide means for one of those
long drawn out court fights of the
Thaw type? We hope not.
If the gunmen were guilty-and
there was no doubt of that-then
Becker, too, is guilty. They were con-
victed on precisely the same evidence
as he.
If New York authorities want to
preserve proper respect for law and
order they will see to it that Becker is
brought to early re-trial and vigorous
ly prosecuted.
The ''men higher up" in New York
are quite as much in need of a whole

ing the law as are the gangsters rep
resented by the young men electro
cuted to-day. IF there is one real
danger threatening the republic it is

Levy Court Awards Con-

800 is THE
CONTRACT PRICE

Work Of building $500 feet Of road
from the bridge at Greenbank, on the
old Newport and Gap turnpike to the
Prices Corner and Marshallton roads,
the contract for which has been
awarded by the Levy Court, will soon
be started. The work Is to be done
by prisoners at the County Work
house, in conformity with the bill
which was passed at the last session
OF the Legislature authorizing the
Levy Court to give contracts to the
trustees Of the workhouse for road
building work without first advertls-
ing them.
At the meeting OF the Levy Court
last Tuesday a letter was received
from Warden Crawford, stating that
the road had been measured and that
for $1,000 the road would be built 12
feet wide with six inches of stone.
A lively discussion on the subject
took place between Commissioners
Groves, Scott and Fouracre. Mr..
Scott began the discussion by remark
INV that he had been trying for some
time to have new roads built in his
hundred, but so far no action had
been taken in the matter, and he be-
lieved Mr.. Groves. who, he said, has
been getting advantage of the work
done by the prisoners at the work
house, should wait awhile for this
road
Mr.. Fouraere agreed with Mr.. Scott,
stating that he did not believe that
MIR. Groves should ask for the work
at this time, and that he would not
vote for the awarding of the con-
tract until such time as the trustees
OF the workhouse made provision for
the prisoners to go into other parts
Of the county, as he did not believe
II fair that one member should get
all the advantage of the prison work.
II was pointed out that the price OF
the road is very low, as it is over half
a mile long and good road of this
length given out on contract costs
from $4,000 to $1,000.
Mr. Smith moved that the matter be
laid over. but Commissioner Groves
demanded a vote upon the resolution
awarding the contract to the work
house trustees A vote was then
taken and the resolution awarding
the contract was adopted, Commits
sioners Scott and Fouracre being the
only two to vote against IL.

Nell B. Sinclair, general secretary

mands OF the commissioner of in
ternal revenue upon local merchants,
manufacturers and corporations for
information 20 be used IN the admin

letin reads as follows:
Members Of the Chamber OF Com
merce, Delaware.
Gentlemen: Answering many
queries received by this office rea-
tive to the right OF the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue to apply by let
ter to merchants. manufacturers, cor
porations and business houses in gem
eral for information concerning their
capitalization. dividends paid, salaries
Of officers. employees, etc. and other
statistical and financial information
to be used In the administration Of
the income tax, we are informed that
under the laws at present In effect
the Commissioners of Internal Rev
enue cannot force you to make dis
closures called for in its Circular No.
/, Form 1867. but the income tax
provides that corporations or busi-
ness houses must make return Of
such information to the Treasury De-
partment At least once year with
the privilege OF choosing their own
time for so dolng) and In case such
return is not made according 10 law,
the Treasury Department may there
upon issue a summons requiring att
tendance and production of books.
Many prefer TO file answers TO the
Commissioners interrogatories rather
than have their hooks under examina-
ton, and therefore It is entirely op-
tlonal with corporations as to the
manner In which they shall make
their returns.
Attorneys OF merit have given opin-
ions, both in Wilmington and else
where, that failure to reply 10 the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
would not constitute an evasion OF
the law, but for obvious reasons the
Chamber OF Commerce cannot un-
dertake TO advise you further than
to offer you the above information.
Very truly yours.
