SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
Goodbye GEORGE!

From the Dover State News.
Our old friend. George w Roberts.
of The State Sentinel, is dead. George
Roberts was a politician, and he had
a knowledge of Delaware politics and
Delaware men, which gave him an
advantage in controversy. George w.
Roberts was a man who was loyal to
his friends and was a good American
the way he interpreted it. We never
agreed with him about politics while
we enjoyed agreeing with him about
nearly everything else. We believe
that every man who sincerely does
his work the way he understands it
does good work. The time has not
come when any of US can say We are
right. The best of us can only say
that we are honestly working for the
right the way we understand it. We
believe our friend George Roberts did
this. II. is for us to do honestly
our own work the way We understand
it. Goodbye, George!
