THE defeat of the libel laws which wer,
drawn and presented to the Legislature
by authority of the Delaware Press Asso
citation, was the means of openly Great
ing a situation which will result in the
reforming of the libel laws of Delaware
and will in all probability result in the
disclosing to the people the actual condi.
tions which brought about the scant con.
sideration of the bills presented to the
Legislature. The opening of this cam
paign started in the State News and Index
of Dover last week, and for the next two
years any and all opportunities that arise
in the creation of public news, will be
taken advantage of to impress upon the
minds of the people at large, the fact that
some of the legal fraternity, lawyers prac-
ticing at the bar of Wilmington princi-
pallv, took strenuous stands against any
change in the laws as they now exist.
1t is a fact, that lawyers have from time
to time in that city especially, and occa-
sionally in the past in Kent county, been
known to take advantage of the present
laws to press to a compromise of cases
rather than to have them go to court.
Its fact that few libel cases ever reach
the court trial stage, and the cause for
this is generally the result of compro-
missing. The results are, that the news
paper or writer, will submit to payment
of sum of money, rather than employ
a lawyer and fight the case through the
court, with the resultant loss of time,
even though the case is won. In the
case of the attorneys who were present
at the hearing of the Judiciary Commit
tee of the House, they were there by re-
quest of that committee, and their atti-
tude certainly created the mental situa-
ion with the members, which resulted
N the unfavorable report which they
made on the bill, which was equivalent
10 its defeat. Neither of the attorneys
lad objection to the bills, other than
heir personal expressed statement that |
hey thought the present laws were snf-
icient 1t was not this alone which de-
eated the libel laws there was an inAu- |
nee which worked under cover that was
nore potent than any objection these
gentlemen could have brought against
he measures, and in the next two years,
will be the duty of the newspapers to
uietly and effectively get that fact well
.nown to the people, so that a square
cal can be had all around.

TWO PANATELAS.

Little girl, you look so small,
Don't yoH wear NO clothes at all
Don't you wear no shimmy shirt ?
Don't you wear no pettiskirt1
Just your corset and your hose,
Are these all your underclothes
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet,
With your dress so very tight,
Surely, you're an awful sight.
Nothing on to keep yOu warm
Crazy just to show your form.
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong.
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose5
After willie do believe
You will dress like Mother EVe.
You've a very narrow skirt,
Little girl.
Are you sure it doesn't hurt,
Little girl1
That's mincing little stride,
Where the street is wild and wide,
Are you sure there's room inside,
Little girl9
Wnat would happen if you slip,
Little girl7
Aren't you afraid twill rip,
Little giil5
You had better take a sack,
So if anything should crack,
It would serve you coming back,
Little girl.
Let the bottom out bit,
Little girl;
1t is much too tight fit,
Little girl.
AS the matter sadly stands,
You'll be walking on your hands,
And in that event-MY LANDSli
Little girl.

WONDERFUL. results are recorded in
all parts of Delaware where religious
meetings have been held during the pres
ent winter season. Not scores, but hun
dreds, have professed to have been con-
victed of their lack of righteous living,
and have publicly proclaimed their pur-
pose to change the future ways of their
lives. This is not confined to the people
Of any one class of life. On the contrary,
such men as James Ross, of Seaford,
Harry Viven, Reese Layton, of Bridge
vile, and others of like standing all over
the State, have proclaimed their belief
in a christian life and have affiliated
themselves with the people and churches
representing the new purposes for their
fnture. Right here in Milford this feel
ing Of desire for better life and better
social and civil conditions has swept over
more than ten per cent of the people. It
may be the reflex of the great work of
Billy Sunday through the efforts of the
LEGAL churches that this has come to be a
general condition, or it may not be due
70 that source; but, be it what it may, 1t
is a grand forward step for the moral
split of the people, and must be the di-
rect will Of God through his instruments,
be they whom or what they may.

Wa recognize the fact that the assess
ment of property for tax purposes is the
fundamental trouble under which the
people are restless. The inequality of
assessment causes the disproportion of
lakes paid by property holders. This is
true as to the towns as well as of the
county, and we hope that the legislature
before it adjourns today will pass the
proposed bill which will make a radical
change in the way of making the assess
nents for county purposes.

SHAWNEE

The School Commissioners of this dis
trict are considering the needs of public
school education at Shawnee District.
and planning for building the new school
building. A meeting of the voters of
the district, and the parents of all the
children. will be held to discuss the kind
Of building, its dimensions and location,
at an early date. Asitwill require about
two months to get all the plans and pre-
liminary arrangements ready, and ad-
vertise for bids to erect the school build
ing, it is thought best to arrange for
having the preliminary arrangements
made so that the school building can be
completed and ready for use by the
opening of school next September. 1t
is purposed to have all the comfort and
conveniences of a modern school, with
heating and ventilating arrangements,
and to have the new building as near
fire proof as possible.
At the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Phillip
Griffith on Thursday evening, March 1S,
a saint Patrick Social" will be held
under the management of the Christian
Society of Central Church, and
aside from the refreshments served, it
will be happy time. Each guest who
fails to wear the Shamrock of Ireland
and green colors of Ireland, will be sub
ect 70 a fine of five cents, all of which |
will be converted into the funds Of that
ociety. All are invited to be present at |
hat time, as a visit to the home of Mr..

JUsT remember this, that laws do not of
themselves make good order, good gov
erHment or happiness; but, the enforce
meRt of law is the means of creating re-
sPeet for laws which will bring about
peace, comfort and safety of property.
It's the duty of all people to have the
laws enforced, and when we all follow
Ohr responsibilities, then will the best
results follow the creation of laws.

VIZ should have expressed our plea
sure at the appointment of George H.
Hall to succeed the Hon. Thomas W.
Miller as Secretary of State, in the last
issue of the Chroicle, but an accident
which prevented the paper from getting
out its full edition, made it impossible.
However we take this opportunity to say
that General Hall will find that the fol-
lowing of a real live wire business man
and public official, such as Congressman
Thomas W. Miller, will be lively pace;
but it is one that he is accustomed to in
his own business affairs, and also in his
various periods of holding public office.

THA change to a Receiver of Taxes in
Sussex County will be a very radical sys-
tenn for the people to get accustomed to,
but the penalties for failure to comply
with the laws, are such, that after one
experience the taxpayers will pay prompt
ly, and without urging when the oppor-
tunity is afforded at the monthly sittings
Of the Receiver. Prompt payment of
taxes will be new thing in Sussex
COanty, where for forty years the people
have been accustomed to pay when,
where and how they please. The county
Srder will not be accepted as settlement
for taxes, and the law especially pre-
scribes that they shall not be so accepted.
This is progressive legislation.

ALLIED AVIATORS
SHELL RAILROADS
One of the Principal Raids is
Made by French Dirigi-
BILE in AISaCe.

LONDON, oct. An air cam
paign by British and French sky fleets
and dirigibles against German rail-
ways has had successful results, ac-
cording to official statements issued
in London and Paris Friday.
One of the principal raids was
made by the French dirigible AlSace,
which in a night raid bombarded the
railway stations at Attigny and YOU
Tiers Throughout its flight it was the
target for German batteries which,
equipped with new anti-craft guns
kept up a continual Smelling.
The new weapon against air attacks
perfected by the Germans is a pro-
iectile which fired high in the air
bursts, showering thousands of fam
ing fuses i'm every direction, the OBJ
iect being TO ignite the gas bags of
the dirigibles and the petrol tanks of
aeroplanes.
The Alsace, although struck several
times, returned TO her base in good
condition.
Seventeen air battles have been
fought over the British lines in the
last seven days, according to a report
from Field Marshal Sir John French.
In all but one the British fliers were
victorious. one German machine was
brought down. Fifteen separate at
tempts on German railway lines,
trains and stations have been made
by English aviators. Five or six
trains have been partly wrecked and
the locomotive shed at NalenCiennes
set afire.
French aviatOrs. according TO a
German report have dropped bombs
on Heinen-Iitard, Is miles southwest
of Bethune. Eight French citizens
were killed.
