DELAWARE TOWNS
The Fault Is With The People

The Fault Is With The People
The Milford newspaper that has
compared the enterprise and
growth of Delaware towns with
those of our neighboring states, is
evidently afraid to answer it's own
questions. 1t wishes other news
papers to tell it why Delaware
towns are behind the towns Of other
states. 1t knows full well the ex-
act answer; but seems bashful and
backward. 1t evidently wants some
others newspaper to "be the goat.
Well, we're willing to be the
"goat" this time at the risk OF be-
ing hated, mauled, insulted and
scolded for telling the truth.
Here is the answer:
The fault is directly with the
people Of Delaware-with the peo-
pie of the individual towns, and
with the business men themselves.
For the last few years the quarrel
policy of the business world OF
lower Delaware has been to limit
competition-to restrict trade
to oppose outside business interests.
The narrow, dog-In-the-manger
policy followed by the leading bus
mess enterprises in Kent and Sus-
sex, accounts for the lack of growth
of the towns of these counties.
The almost miraculous growth OF
the city Of Wilmington has been
due to three things-namely, It's To-
cation, its rail and water facilities
and it's up-to-date business men,
fifty per cent of its success has
been due to the latter-the enter
prise, broad and just policy and
fairness Of its business men. They
welcome competition as the life of
trade. They encourage new in
dustries. They help new business
firms. Can the towns Of Kent and
Sussex say the same for themselves?
1t is fact that the store keepers
the mill owners and business men
generally throughout the two lower
counties oppose competition. They
resent the advent Of new business
houses in their respective towns
they do all in their power to keep
outside industries, new blood"
and competition out of their COM
munities. Instead Of welcoming a
new store keeper or factory, they
try to drive them out of town.
They discourage trade with other
towns, communities or states. They
fight against industries. They say
do not want new mills or
factories-our grandfathers got
along without them-why should
we be compelled to compete with
them for business?"
AS a Kent county newspaper we
are compelled to admit that the
towns of Kent and Sussex are at
least forty years behind the times.
We need not be so, but our business
men compel us to be backward
We venture to say that were it
not for the women Of the counties
we would still be using coal oil and
candles instead of gas and electric
lights. Our roads would be like
those of the "befo' de war; per-
iods.-Delaware Republican.

MISS MARGARET MORGAN
Queen of May.
Special to The Telegraph


Carlisle, Pa, May 15.-While grave
faculty adviser and irresponsible un-
dergraduate both looked on in amaze
ment the TOO co-eds at Dickinson Col
Iege this afternoon went through the
elaborate and artistic evolutions of the
various folk and costume dances of
the first annual May day.
The event was held on the campus
of Metzgar Hall, the women's dormi-
tory, formerly MetZgar College, and
was witnessed by over 500 persons. In
elaborateness and minuteness of de-
tail the affair surpassed anything Of
the kind ever held here. Costume
dances by the members of the various
classes with the procession and crown
ing Of the May queen, the whole cul-
minating in a grand dance about a
May pole, constituted the program.
1t is one of the features of the day
that not until the procession issues
from the building and advances toward
the big pavilion where the throne is
erected does the spectator know who
has been chosen queen of the May.
A vote was taken recently at the col
lege assembly, but the name of the
person chosen was kept secret, she
herself being uniformed until this
morning. The choice fell upon MEM
ber of the senior class. Miss Margaret
Morgan, a daughter of Dean James H.
Morgan, of the college.

'To the Burgess and Town Council OF

ough was commented upon, numerous

and presented to council for the pur-
pose of indicating clearly to council
what the sentiment of the residents OF
the borough is towards the intolerablc
dust nuisance endured by all residents
in Market street, as well as all users
of the street cars or street:
Now, therefore, we, the undersign-
ed residents of the borough of Camp
Hill. hereby present our protest to the
borough council against the continu-
ance of what we think is a public
nuisance, as we'll as a detriment to
the health of the community at large
marring as it does the beauty of the
village, and respectfully request that
effective action be taken Immediately
looking to its abatement Until such
time as permanent relief shall be OBJ
tanned, we request that the street be
adequately water sprinkled, as hereto
fore"
