SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
KENT COUNTY HOSPITAL.
From the Dover Republican.

From the Dover Republican.
Once again the cohorts of human
ity in Dover, are beseigine the Legis-
lature, fighting for hospital in Kent
county.
If any community in the United
States needs a hospital, Kent coun-
ty and its towns, is that community.
For three. consecutive Legislatures
the matter has been brought up un-
der the able leadership Of such men
as DR.. Harbordt, DR.. Wilson, Dr.
O'Day and Kent County Medical So
ciety.
While past law making bodies have
been appropriating thousands of dol
lars for all kinds of public institu-
tions, monuments, increased salaries
for public servants and pleasure
trips for the members of the Legis-
lature, the Kent County Hospital pro
icct has always been side tracked. IL
is now up to the present Legislature
to pass one of the two Dover Hos
pital bills before 1t.
Space forbids going into details re-
garding the absolute necessity Tot
hospital. to be located in central Della
ware. Every citizen who has ever
had any sickness. know the great
need of such an institution.
1t is a fact that from twenty to one
hundred lives could be saved annually
in central Delaware alone if Kent
county had a hospital where suitable
treatment and attention could DC
given in operative or emergency
cases.
Two years ago the churches and
| Lodges of Dover, aided by many lib
eral minded persons, would have
completely furnished hospital build
ing.
Delaware boasts of some Of the
most able and brilliant physicians
in the country. and Kent County ha'
its full share of competent and brigh
doctors. These mon are willing anC
eager to render their services to
hospital in Dover.
1t is not a question Of wanting
hospital here, it is a crying need-aI
absolute necessity. No one knows
when he may be suddenly strickeI
down with disease or by accident
An institution of this kind is needet
in Kent County far more than goo'
roads or any other thing the peOpl
of our country are striving for.
If every voter will address hi
friends or representatives in our pre-
sent Legislature and impress upol
them the need for a Dover hospital
we may get one.
Human beings who arc sufforin,
and dying for want of adequate nur
sing and attention are much more i'm
portant than the birds, rabbits AM
fish, or the Referendum. Equal Suf
frage or Higher Education.

CONSUMERS LEAGUE MEETING.

The monthly meeting OF the Con-
gumers' League of Delaware, was
held Thursday at the Office in the
Ford building. The general secre-

work had been done in connection
with the Labor Legislative Commit
tee. recently formed to act during the
present session of the legislature.

FRAT HOUSES AND TAXES.

From the Milford Chronicle.
As a specimen of selishness and
an example of narrow view. the town
of Newark. Delaware. contains some
rare specimens in its citizenship. The
more that is done toward helping
public institutions which disburse
money among the people for the ne
cessities of life, about the town of
Newark. the more anxious appears
the desire TO exact petty tribute for
the town. We arc led to this express
sion of opinion by the intention eX-
pressed in a bill which has been pre-
scented to the legislature, which
would, if passed and approved. tax
the property owned by the four stu
dent fraternities, for town purposes
in Newark. Each of these fraternities
disburse about three hundred dollars
each month for meats, groceries and
supplies among the merchants of
Newark. and during the year the sum
apprOXimates close to ten thousand
dollars. The State cXempts all pro-
perty used for educational purposes
as we'll as all property used for
church purposes from taxation. and
the residences of preachers fall un-
der this exemption as we'll as schools
and dormatOries. These fraternity
houses are only dormatories. and if
they were not there it would be inn
possible for Delaware College to have
the two hundred students now at
tending her courses. One good thing
about Delaware College is that boys
and girls can get an education there
at reasonable expense. Nothing, in
our opinion. should be done to in
crease unnecessarily this expense
This bill is a good one to kill.

Delaware anglers are very much in earnest in their
opposition to the sill to throw open the waters Of the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal to nonresident anglers
They already have remonstrance to Dover bear

monstrances will follow. Those names. however, will
the full strength Of the opposition It is
be found in all directions. The feeling is that so
long as the neighboring States require Doawareans
nonrcsidents, to take out licenses TO FISH in their
lakes and streams the treatment should apply
TO anglers from those States who wish fish in Della
ware waters.

A HEI2 FOR OUR BAD ROADS.

From tho Harrington Journal.
The stormy weather during the
past few weeks has put the country
roads in a horrible condition. On
some of them it is impossible to
navigate. There are complaints from
all quarters of Kent and Sussex
counties; now what is there to hin
DER the employment of prison con-
victs on the public highways all over
the State? BY this means in a few
years we might have good roads
everywhere, and such employment of
convict labor would interfere with no
freeman's trade and we believe there
would be less prisoners in our jails
during the winter months for petty
Cffenses. Working the roads is the
bane Of the farmers life.

the State to better transportation,
