President Wilson's Loss

The sympathy Of the entire ma
ton has gone out to President Will
son in the hour of his bereavement.
in the death of his wife at the
White House last Thursday. Mrs.
Wilson, since coming into promi-
nence as the first lady of the land
has endeared herself to everyone,
and the nation has united with the
stricken family in grieving for the
dead.
Mrs. Wilson was Miss Ellen
Louise Arson, daughter of a Pres
byterian clergyman, and was born
at Savannah, Ga. She was a stu
dent at the New York Art League
when she met Mr.. Wilson, who
was then taking a post graduate
course at Johns Hopkins Univers-
ity. The President and Mrs. Will
son were married June "a, 1885.
A landscape gardener Of recog-
nized ability, and a painter Of
equally well recognized ability,
Mrs. Wilson devoted much of her
time to artistic subjects. She took
direct personal charge of the gar
dens at prospect" during Mr..
Wilson s career as president of
Princeton University, and also of
the White House gardens. Having
passed much Of her time outdoors,
she had the appearance Of what is
called ian outdoors woman" Her
skin was smooth and girlish.
Mrs. Wilson's indoor life had
been devoted to books and artistic
pursuits. Her paintings have been
placed on exhibition in New York,
Philadelphia and Washington and
they have taken prizes in competi-
tions. AS :.'the first lady of the
land' she was ever ready with ad-
vice and material help, including
responses to demands on her time.
wherever good cause might be
served.
Her domestic life is described as
having been attractive and typical
OF that of woman of her cultured
class. She had knowledge of the
domestic arts, and was a good cook.
1t is related of her that she liked
to prepare dishes, or have them
prepared under her personal sup
ervision for the President.

Choose Your
Reading Carefully

In every home, where keeping
abreast of the worlds progress day
by day is regarded as an educa-
tional duty as well as pleasure,
the Sunday newspaper ought to be
a welcome visitor. In discriminat-
ing homes, particularly where
there are young people whose
tastes and opinions are largely
nodded by what they read, as much
care and judgement should be exer-
cised in the selection of Sunday
newspaper as in the choice OF books
We commend "The Philadelphia
Sunday Record" to our readers as
paper that is as clean as it is con-
scientious in the presentation Of
the news; as varied in it's appeal to
every member Of the family as it is
vigorous and as indispensable as it
is interesting.
The characteristics that have
popularized the daily issues Of
"The Record" are the back bone
of the Sunday issue. Its news
pages cling to "Record" standards
Of accuracy, conciseness and reada-
bility. The features that give the
daily it's place of pre-eminence in
the household are enlarged and am
plifed on Sunday; the columns de-
voted to woman s interests, fash
ions, science and domestic arts
grow into pages, and new depart
ments, covering the best Of current
humor (in black and white and
color) and fiction, are added. The
illustrated Sunday Magazine alone,
with it's weekly grist of high-class
stories and articles by leading
writer's, is worth more than the
price of the paper.
"The Sunday Record" is a big
ger and better daily Record"
built up on the saiest and soundest
lines Of Sunday journalism, with
the idea that the intelligent read
er, having more leisure for literary
entertainment on Sunday than any
other day, looks to its quality as
well as it's quantity. When we say
that daily Record" quality is
maintained in "The Sunday Re-
ocrd,' that is the highest praise we
can give it. ADV.

Boulevard Along Dela-
ware Ocean Front

A boulevard one hundred feet in
width extending from Rehoboth to
Indian River Inlet, along the ocean
front, a distance Of five miles, will
be laid out by the Public Lands
Commission in the near future. An
announcement to this effect was
made last week following meetings
Of the commissioners on Tuesday
and Wednesday. The boulevard
will be straight and will greatly in
CT ease the attractiveness Of the
ocean frontage in this State.
In addition to this improvement,
Morgan Y. Gum, county engineer
of Sussex county, as surveyor and
engineer for the commission has
completed a survey of all public
lands from Cape Henlopen to Fen
wick s Island, on the Delaware
Maryland boundary. The terri
tory belonging to the State totals
5000 acres. The commission will
dispose Of some of the land just
south of Rehoboth at public sale
this fall.
The commission comprises Gov
ernor Miller, eX-oficio; ex-Con-
gressman Hiram R. Burton, Of
Lewes; ex-senator R. R. Kenney,
Of Dover; State Senators Harry j.
Anderson, Fairmont, and Edward
G. Walls, Smyrna, and Morgan T.
Gum, Frankford, surveyor and en-
gineer.
When the members met at the
Hotel Henlopen, Rohoboth, last
Tuesday, all were present except
the Governor. The next day the
commissioners went by motor boat
from Rehoboth to Fenwick Island
and viewed the lands. Then it was
agreed to lay out the boulevard.
This will be done by Engineer Gum
The Public Lands Commission, a
permanent body, was created at the
last session of the Legislature. The
members were named in The bill
and following the enactment, Mr..
Gum was engaged as engineer.

Good Roads And
Rural Schools

The rural population is more
willing to support better schools
today than at any previous time.
1t is being realized that all educa-
tional activities or agencies must
be more or less correlated, and,
more than all else, that they must
be made accessible to the children.
In many counties where bad roads
prevail, most of the schools are Of
the antiquated one-room variety.
They are usually located along bad
roads, which, during the winter,
when the schools are usually in ses-
sion, become so nearly impossible
as to make it difficult for the child
ren to reach them. This condition
causes irregular attendance and re-
stricts the educational opportuni-
ties of the child. Not only this,
but it often impedes the economic
consolidation Of these smaller
schools into larger, stronger grad
ed schools, with high-school courses
directed by competent principal
and corps Of teachers, according to
the Office Of Public Roads.
On the other hand, in counties
which have improved their roads
the schools are easily reached, the
average attendance greater, the ef-
ficiency largely increased, and eco
nomic consolidation made possible.
Regular attendance at school
means consistent and regular
growth Of both school and pupil,
and consolidation Of schools means
a maximum of efficiency at a mini
mum of cost. 1t is also noteworthy
that there is a marked tendency for

Suffrage Sentiment
In Delaware

Mrs. Florence Bayard Hilles of
New Castle and Miss Elsie Hill, Of
Norfolk, Conn, Congressional I'm
ion organizer, who recently tour
ed the State in the interest of wo-
man s suffrage, give glowing ac-
counts of their reception through
out Delaware.
They were gone only two days,
but held meetings in Newark,
Smyrna, Blackbird, Dover, Kits,
Hammock, Camden, and Wyoming.
They literally strewed miles of suf-
frage literature along their way
on doorsteps, country store coun-
ters, and in mail boxes. They were
received with great interest and re-
spect. The largest meeting was
held in Dover on the Post Office
Steps. The men listened intently,
with doffed hats, and contributed
generously to the collection. At
Kits Hammock the suffragists held
a meeting on the beach. At many
towns the local suffragists came
to welcome them and help with the
meetings. Miss Hills remark up
on returning to Wilmington, was:
"The people of Delaware have
splendid attitude toward suffrage.
We hold meetings in Wilmington
almost every evening, and great
interest is shown both by the size
of the audiences and by the gen.
eral collection taken. For the first
time in the history Of woman suf-
frage in Delaware an organization

of city fathers invited the presi-
dent Of the Delaware association
and the Delaware chairman of the
Congressional Union to confer with
them in meeting. The organiza-
ton is the Committee of Old Home
Week, and the meeting was to dis
cuss a program for Old Home
Week in October. But formerly
suffragists have had to invite them
selves to such meetings.

There is good deal OF justice IN

you, and the shirker, in lodging
his work, misses his pay which goes
to a better man, who will probably
prosper and be called a thief be-

His compensation lies in tho

DELAWAREAN Sue
CEEDS JUDGE GRAY
Hon. Victor B. Woolley Nam.
ed By President

News Of the nomination by Pres,
ident Wilson Of Judge Victor B
Woolley Of the Supreme Court OF
Delaware, for federal judge on the
third circuit Of the United States
Court of Appeals, to succeed Judge
George Gray, has been received
with enthusiasm throughout the
State. The selection of Judge
Wooley is not only gratifying to
members of the Delaware bar, but
to Delawareans generally. He has
great many friends throughout
the State, and as a member OF the
State judiciary has made an excel
lent record. His selection is a vic
tory for United States Senator
Willard Salisbury, who has been
urging the appointment OF Judge
Woolley ever since the retirement
of Judge Gray. At one time it
looked as if Judge Cole, of New
Jersey would be named, as that
state made a strong bid for the Of
flee, but at no time did Senator
Salisbury appear to lose any OF
his confidence that Judge Woolley
would be named.
Judge Woolley had the unani-
nous Endorsement Of the Delaware
bar, and the fact that he is Demo
crat did not figure in the indorse-
ment. His appointment will create
a vacancy in the state bench which
Governor Miller will have 20 fill by
appointment. He will be requir-
ed to select a Democrat, and among
those mentioned as a possible sue
cessor to Judge Woolley on the
State bench are John R. Nicholson,
J. Harvey Whiteman, Charles B.
Evans, J. Frank Ball, William 7.
Lyman and others.
Judge Woolley was born in Will
mington March 20, 1867, the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Augustus S. Wool
ley. His mother died during his
early childhood, and his father left
Delaware to engage in the orange
and lumber business in Florida,
with the result that he was reared
by relatives in Baltimore, where he
received his elementary education
in the public schools of that city.
AT the age of IA he entered Della
ware College, being at that time
the youngest student in the institu-
ton. He graduated in 1885. After
keeping books for his father for
three years, pursuing his law stud
les at the same time, he entered the
law office of the late Chief Justice
Charles b, Lore, Following
course at Harvard Law School ne
was admitted to the bar of New
Castle county in 1890. He was ap-
pointed a judge of the supreme
court Of the state in 1909.
Before being appointed to the
bench Judge Woolley took an active
part in Democratic politics. He
first went upon the stump in the
constitutional campaign of 1888.
He is a resident Of Wilmington and
lives at 1909 Rodney street.
The office of the Third Circuit of
the United States circuit court of
appeals is in the Federal Building
at Wilmington, the circuit COM
prising the states Of Delaware and
Maryland and the eastern district
Of Pennsylvania. Judge Gray was
the first of that court, and because
of that fact and because of the
larger population of New Jersey,
residents of that state who were in
terested in backing Judge Cole for
the nomination thought he would
win. Judge Woolley is an active
member of the Delaware College
Alumni Association Of which he is
now president.
