STAYToNSVILLE.

The ladies of fStaytonsville M. f. Church
held a very enjoyable and successful so.
cial last Saturday evening at the home
of Mrs. Rena Pepper. A large number
were present. The ladies of this church
are making an earnest effort to raise the
salary of the minister and it is likely that
this church will be the first one on the
charge to meet their apportionment. as
they had that honor last year. An earn
est effort was made for three weeks this
winter for the conversion of souls at
this church, and the meetings were inter-
esting and we'll attended.
The ladies have arranged to give an
oyster supper in the church on Thursday
evening, January 2Sth, and if possible it
may be continued on the following Sat
lrday evening. The menu will have tur-
key, ice cream and cake added to the
oyster program. The public is especially
invited to take part.

A copy of the State Manual for 1915
1916 has been printed and distributed by
the Secretary of State, which is interest
ing as well as valuable. 1t gives the
salaries of State officials including the
Levy Courts and Assessors, and also the
the time their commissions expire. It
gives the names of the Justices-of-the
Peace, the Commissioners of Deeds, and
the names and addresses of every mem
Der of the General Assembly now in ses-
sion. The vote of Delaware for 1912 ard
1914 is tabulated. We extend our thanks
to our Hon. Secretary of State for a copy
Of the Manual.

A bill has been drawn and introduced
into the Legislature, and its purposes
explained by DR.. Caleb R. Layton, which
will provide for draining the swamps
and low lands of Delaware after a gen
eral plan to cover a series of years This
is provision which every Delawarean
should support with earnest and sincere
purpose, because of the increased value
it would bring to lands owned by every
body in the State of Delaware. Aside
from the increased acreage brought into
use, the counties would get taxes from
lands now contributing nothing to-
wards the finances of the county Govern
ment Then the benefit to the public
health will be another great gain as
result of draining the low lands. We
hope that the members of the Legisla-
ture will place the law on the statute
books, even if it is not expedient % make
an appropriation to start the work at
once. It's a good law, and for the bene-
At of everybody. Then above all, it's
along the lines of progressive legislation
for the benefit of the people, and not
the corporations.

IN another part of this paper appear,
the full report of the State Game Associ
alton, which should be read by every far.
mer and land owner, as we'll as gunner,
in Delaware. 1t is not only type printed
statement, but it is illustrated with views
taken on the land and farm owned by the
Association, which shows exactly to the
eye the lines of work that has been done.
If the people will take the trouble to read
the law, they will be able to refute the
many statements which are made falsely
about the Game Association. No mem
Der of the Association can get over one
hundred and fifty dollars in any one year
for his services during that year. Let's
be fair to the game law, and not let the
selfish gunner who would exterminate
the game place the people in false posi-
ton by false statements.

A FEW years ago an effort was made to
have law enacted which would compel
all vehicles travelling over the public
roads at night to carry lights properly
displayed as a protection for themselves
as well as other traffic, but by the oppo-
sition of one member of the Senate espec-
tally, and the personal subservience of a
member of the House to the desires of the
Senator in question, the law died in the
hands of the committee. Since then many
accidents, which have resulted in the loss
of life, have happened in various parts of
Delaware, by reason of carriages and
wagons not having lights on them at
night, and the necessity for having all
vehicles carry lights has been suggested
and demanded from all parts of Delaware.
Senator Gormley has introduced bill
which will put this idea into effect if en-
acted, and we urge upon all Senators aHd
Representa- es in the legislature to sup
port and enact this law promptly and
have it take effect within thirty days after Z
enactment. It's life-saving law, and it I
may mean life or death to one or all of t
hose who travel our highways at night. I
Enact the law.

IT is not surprising that the people re
volt at the decisions of our courts, when
technicalities in the enactment of the
laws upset the clearly-expressed intent
of the people. There is no part of our
government for which we hold greater
respect than the Judiciary. The men on
the bench are high-class gentlemen well
trained for their duties as arbiters of the
laws, as provided with which to regulate
the conditions under which we live. and
we have a personal acquaintance with
most of them which makes us emphatic
in this statement. But within the past
two or three years decisions have been
made which have caused dissatisfaction
among the people. In most of these
cases the grounds have been based on |
the method of enactment, or as being |
contrary to the Constitution of Delaware.
Within the past week a decision was
handed down in the Supreme Court at
Wilmington, which invalidated the pen
atty clause of the Automobile law. on
the grounds that the law did not receive
the two-thirds vote of the General As
sembly when it was enacted. This con-
dition of affairs is not to be laid at the
door of the Judiciary system of Delaware, '
but the responsibility is with the Cover L
nor, who is the reviewing officer of the ;
laws, and the legal attorneys who were r
paid to scrutinize all laws before they o
are presented to the legislature for action, G
and whose duty is to advise the Cover. =, Is

Assembly. If they are not capable of n

IN another part of this paper we print
the full text of the proposed anti-shipping
liquor law, which is intended to replace the
Hazel law which was declared unconstitu-
tional. This law is framed along the
lines of the liquor law enacted by the
Maryland Legislature, and which has
worked satisfactory to the people of that
State so far. The friends of prohibition
are circulating petitions asking for the
right to vote upon Statewide prohibition
in Delaware within two years at d special
election, and that bill is hardly likely to
become law at this session.
