ALL charity or efforts of the charitable
are sometimes imposed upon by those
deserving of little sympathy, but when
charity is organized and interested and
sympathetic people are at the head of an
association to relieve distress, there is
more real benefit derived from that as
sistance than there would be if the effort
to relieve the suffering were left to indi-
viduals without any coherent system or
knowledge of actual conditions. The
business people of Milford have long
recognized this need, and through the
good Offices of the women who have for
many years been looking after the poor
and the needy of Milford. and they have
proposed to the Kings Daughters that
they become regular contributors to their
funds, and refer all appeals which reach
them to the officers of the association for
relief and investigation as to the amount
of help necessary, and for the time needed. |
This is a fine movement, and should be |
supported literally by all the people |
Yet there may be an opportunity for
some miserable little souled individual to
creep from under any charitable help of
the unfortunate, by claiming that they
have contributed to the Kings Daughters
for the relief of the poor that is a con-
dition too frequently prevalent in any
community, and a system of checking up
against individuals may have to be re-
sorted to, but in Milford they are so few
hat case would be really disturbing to
Uncover. Organized help for the poor is
'etter than indiscriminate giving, so help
he Kings Daughters by joining, and
to their funds.

The above map was made from a
survey by the United States Engin-
GERS of the roads leading into Reho-
both, and the canal which has been
dug to connect RehOboth Bay with
Delaware Bay at Lewes.
The black line marked private
road" is the proposed route for the
county road to enter Rehoboth, by
placing the new bridge authorized to
be built by Sussex County, over the
canal below the railroad bridge now
building. This will enable travel by
road to enter Rehoboth and avoid all
grade crossings of the railroad, other
than the one Immediately at the depot
in RehobOth.
The dotted" line at the north side
of the railroad shows the present

ing into RehObOth, and that road now
crosses the railroad twice at and near
the canal. and the worst feature of
the crossings is the fact that one of
them is on a curve where trains are
turned on a track, which is ex-
tremely dangerous to travel by teams
Or automobiles. The placing of the
bridge at the south of the railroad
bridge will make a straight road west
1f the railroad. and travel will reach
Rehoboth without crossing the rail-
'oad except at the depot.

THE action Of the Republicans Of the

THE action of the Republicans of the
rural district of New Castle County at
the State Convention was a surprise to
the balance of the Republican Party in
Delaware. In turning down Henry A.
du Pont as a delegate to the National
Convention and naming Alfred l. du Pont
in his stead, injects a new element into
Delaware politics, and it may result in
breaks which will give Republican seat
in the United States Senate to the Demo-
Gratis. In departing from the custom of
sending the Governor as one of the dele
gates to the National Convention, was
the opening of the trouble, asd now the
dyke is broken, the deluge may result
From now on it will take wise advice,
caucious political moves, and policy of
recognition of all Republicans, to hold
Delaware in the Republican column, and
win a victory. a few weeks ago we
warned all who are interested in the po-
litical welfare of the Republican Party,
that now is the time to stop, look and
listen, anc then to act with the view of
winning an election over the Democratic
Party, and not to defeat individuals in
the Republican Party of Delaware. Our
policy will be along these lines. and we
hope that all Republicans will feel and I
act in similar channels.

You can get and keep good men for

THE people of Sussex County, regard
less of party affiliations, are now con-
fronting one of the most important periods
Of their direct interests in county govern
ment. This coming summer they will be
called upon to name three men who will
be called upon to inaugurate an entirely
new system of county government, and
the success or failure of that government
will depend for the next six years upon
the personal ability of the men so named.
It would be useless to have repealed the
old system of county government, unless
men of broader business capacity, and
with greater executive ability to start a
new business system which will bear the
test of practical business methods, and
be easy for the people to understand,
shall be chosen for the job of the new
Levy Court body to be elected next No
vember. There can be no doubt about
the need for new commission, but above
all there was a crying necessity for bust
ness methods, and business ability to ap-
ply those methods.
We must have honest, able commits
sioners. Honest, able men can make a
poor method work better than rogues or
incompetent men will make a good
method work.
Honesty and ability we must have in |
our public officers to get anywhere with /

you can occasionally get them. but can

Is, how can we keep able men working
for the public interests?
Such men take commissions. not to
make money, not to get power, but for
the opportunity to serve. But they do
expect, and they have a right to expect,
that their services will be appreciated.

cal Jail for the murder of his father,
w. II. Dickens, filed an application
for bail. A strenuous effort will be
made by District Attorney r. w.
Fleming to have the application de-
MED.
Four reasons were cited by the
prisoner why he should be given his
freedom on bail. First he asserts
that he is not guilty of the murder
or any connection with it. Secondly
he contends that he is entitled to
bail because he claims the proof
against him is not evident and that
the presumption is great. He cites
Article H., Section 10, of the State
Constitution, in which he claims that
unless the proof is evident and the
presumption small the defendant may
be released from custody on bail.
He next claims that the evidence
is only circumstantial; and, lastly,
that even il conviction was secured
at the trial the sentence could not
be capital punishment
In the affidavit he admits he pur
chased a high-power rifle. He used
the gun, he asserts, five times.

admits that the shell which was

age he admits, as does he the purchas-
ing of silencer for the weapon. The
admission that he was absent from

ing occurred also is recorded.
