 EARLY IN JUNE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 25.-House democrats in caucus adopted a res olution outlining plan for speeding up the administration legislative pro- gram with a view to adjournment be- fore the national political conventions in June, as urged by President Will son.
 They pledged themselves to cO- operation in earlier daily meetings and to such night sessions as may seem advisable. The plan is to handle special days in the week except the so-cal!ed calendar Wednesday. It was also agreed that the tariff com mission bill should become part of the coming general revenue measure.
 Before the resolution embodying the plan was adopted without dissent, Speaker Clark made a vigorous speech urging team work by the ma jOrity. He presented to the caucus memorandum from President Will son recommending a legislative pre- gram.
 This is the program submitted by the president:
 '1-Appropriation bills. carrying the provisions necessary for the prepar- edness measures. ''2--Revenue bills with anti dump ing provision.
 ''3-Bill for tariff commission.
 "A-Ship purchase bill
 "5-Rural credits.
 ''6-Philippine bill.
 -"1-The proposed legislation for Porto Rico
 '8-The conservation measures.
 '9-The Mississippi river relief measure, which should provide, I sug- sest, that the. work of leveeing and revestment be carried on under a continuing contract system under completed. the annual appropriation for the work to be carried in the sun dry civil bill as was done in pro- viding for the work at Panama.

OVERLAND OUTPUT
 THRILLED THIS YEAR

Shipments of Overlands and Willys- Knight cars for the first two months of 1916 totalei 27.6S5 as against 1O,- 24O for the corresponding months of 1915. That in a measure tells the story of how the Toledo concern has developed during the past year.
 While it is true that the factory it. self mas been increased in size by the addition of huge new buildings, it's present facilities are now three times greater than they were at the begin ming of 1915.
 This is attributed partly to the fact

that the motor car has become more of an all year round necessity. People no longer wait for the summer months before purchasing. They have found the auto mobile to be as useful and practical in cold weather as it is iu the balmy days of spring. ..
 This is true particularly in the case of small. light car.

THE political situation is clearing. and
the action of the Progressives in nomi-
mating Justice Hughes, after the letter oi
Colonel Roosevelt declining the nomina-
tion at the hands Of the Bull Moose Party
had been read and considered, points to
a real victory for the Republican Party al
the polls next November. As usual. Col
onel Roosevelt makes clear his position,
and gives the reasons why he assumes it,
and briefly it is as follows:
It has become entirely evident that the
people under existing conditions are not
prepared to accept a new party.
In my judgment, the nomination of
Mr.. Hughes meets the conditions set
forth in the statement of the Progressive
National Committee y 4 and my
own statements.
1t would be a grave detriment to the
country to re-elect Mr.. Wilson.
/ believe the attitude of the profres-
sional German-Americans was due, not in
the least for any liking for Mr.. Hughes
but solely in their antagonism for me.
No good American, whatever his an
@SoAA VI NlGGAAs Ndu nave an lGGllllk
cept scorn and detestation for these pro-
German-Americans who seek to
make the American President in effect
yiceroy of the German emperor.
We owe all our present trouble with |
he German-American element in the |
United States to Mr.. Wilson's timid and |
facilitating course.
Our own political fortunes, individually !
nd collectively, are of no consequence
whatever. when compared with the honor
nd welfare of the people of the United
tates.
In Mexico they (Mr. Wilson and the
Party) have failed even to
ecure the peace they sought
] spite of most ample opportunity and
lost ample warning to prepare in any
eal fashion to meet the crisis which their
WI policy invited. !
l earnestly bespeak from my fellow d,
their ungrudging support of ;
r. Hughes.

COMMUNICATED.
Mr.. Editor:

/ Mr.. Editor:
Allow me to make suggestion
| through the columns of your paper
that we pause on the approach of our
National birthday anniversary for a
season of meditation and prayer.
We are just at this moment serious
ly provoked to break friendly rela-
tions with one OF our nearest neigh
bOrs, whose welfare we desire, and
whose deliverance from internal strife
and discord we have strenuously
sought.
The present situation demands that
every good citizen do all in his power
to avert the threatening war, and save
these nations from the fate of those
across the sea.
Our boys, brave and true, have gone
in response to the call of the Pres
ident for the defence of the country's
honor, and the relief of the brothers
on the border. The fact that every
man of our local Company of sold
iers has signed up" is a matter of
local pride, and cOngratulatiOn to
them and US. They are ready to do
their part, and we are proud of their
and devotion. Not one of us
at home but would do everything in
our power to aid them and encourage
faith and loyalty.
Ours is a Christian nation, and nev-
ar in our history have we had such |
IN opportunity to show the power |
)f the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our
enemies, the nations at war, and the |
people of our own land.
Therefore is it not eminently fitting
hat in this crisis, on the approach
ng anniversary of our nation. that
he people, as far as possible, do that
which to them would be a glad and
Wiling service, namely, attend thru
'ut the coming Sabbath their respect
We places of worship and pray for
he guidance of Almighty God to pre-
erve our country's honor, our mems
ives, and our neighbors' friendship.
1t is a cOnsumatiOn devoutly to be
lished.

PAUL PRY'S GLENDALE
LETTER.

Our letter in last weeks Chronicle
had the desired effect concerning the
disease among the apple trees and on
| Saturday the County Agricultural
Agent motored over from Georgetown
to view the situation. After looking
over the trees he agreed that the sit
uatiOn was serious, but not so bad as
in other Sussex orchards. A meet
| ing was arranged for Friday, July z,
at o'clock in the morning, at the
farm of W. S. Dickerson, with men
from the Experimental Station at
Newark present. This is a matter
which should be of interest to every
farmer and fruit grower, and these
noted men who have made a life
study of just such conditions should
be greeted with a large and appreci-
ative audience. Let everyone show
that Glendale is ready to be taught
new methods and show an interest in
the meeting and learn how to treat
our diseased apple trees. Meetings
are being arranged to be held in Mil
ford SeafOrd and other towns.
Union Church is making prepara-
tions for an elaborate Children's Day
program on next Sunday, July End,
and has extended a cordial invitation
to all to attend and witness the spe-
cial preparation made for this day.
The blackberry season has followed
the strawberry season very closely
this year, and the fruit is exception
ally and so far bringing good prices.

IT will be well for the new school com
missioners Of Sussex County, and thos,
Of Kent County in particular, to remem
Der the conditions under which the schoo
taxes must now be collected. In SUSSEX
County the Tax Receiver will not receive
school taxes, and for that reason each
school must provide means to collect the
taxes levied for the benefit of each school
district. The amounts are so small that
to secure a bond from bonding company
would require the amount paid for col
lecting the tax this in the rural districts.
In each school board there is, or must
be, some individual who is responsible
for the amount of the tax, as well as
honorable in the handling Of the public
school monies, and it should be small
matter for the individuals in each district
to pay the taxes promptly each fall after
they are laid, hence the school clerk can
and should collect these taxes promptly.
A firm demand will bring the results
promptly. II is in Kent County where a
condition is prevalent, which the people
are seemingly not aware exists. It has
been the practice for school clerks to de-
liver the duplicate tax list to the County
Tax Collector, and permit him to take
months to get the taxes for them, and it
is Just there that the trouble is found.
The taxes placed in the County Tax Col
lectors hands for collection are not safe
guarded by the bond he gives to the
county by the various bonding and surety
companies. These bonds are given for
the safeguarding of the collection of the
taxes for the county, and when
that is performed the bonding company's
responsibility ceases, and the bond is
cancelled. But in most all Of the collect |
ing districts of Kent County, if not all of |
them, the tax collectors have many hum
1reds of dollars in school taxes either in
hand or on the lists given to them to col
ect, and the district has no obligation in |
Orm Of security for that money. Failure /
o pay over money has occurred many
lines in the past forty years, and it is
lot unreasonable to think that there will
e much change in future history. We
o not suspicion any tax collectors of
Of school money. but the
resent system is not a good business
olicy. We need reform in she schools,
I'd especially in the taxing system.

THE soldier boys left Milford last SAT
urday morning for the Rife Range, near
New Castle, Delaware, and their depar-
ture attracted a large part of the entire
population of the town to see them leave
the depot, and the scene was one of
touching interest to the lockers on. If
the spirit Of patriotism has been sleeping
in the hearts Of our people, it was evident
that there is a general awakening, and
while there was many tears dropped over
the departure of loved one, yet there
was evident a proud acknowledgement
that the dear one had the moral courae e
to support our country when she calls for
help. There were no sulkers or miserable |
individuals to scoff at the men who had |
responded and volunteered it would |
have been a very uncomfortable place for
a man or a woman of that kind to have
expressed belittling opinions of the men
who showed their appreciation of respon-
sibility. We all hope that we may have
peace, but we do not want and will not
accept peace on a dishonorable basis. Its
only the coward who INDUCES in cheap
wit, or fractions remarks at the expense
Of the volunteer soldier. When the next q
call comes, and it will come soon, that I
class of men and women must be COM
pelled to respond on the fighting line or O
in the laboring trench. n

COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

! A series of seven important meet
ings in the interest of controlling the
apple and pear blight has been ar
ranged for next week. DR.. Thomas
+. Manns, plant pathOlOgist for the
State Experiment Station, will accom-
pany the County Agents on visits to
seven farms where apples are grown
and where blighted trees can be
found. At each of these farms il is
desired that anyone who has trouble
with the blight on apple or pear will
take pains to meet DR.. Manns and
talk over with him the control of the
disease. With diseased trees at hand
it should be easy to understand the
summer care of blighted trees, as well
as the measures that will help in win
ter. DR.. Manns will be found at each
farm at the time specified and for an
hour afterwards, while the rest of the
morning or afternoon will be devoted
to visits to neighboring farms where
there are problems in disease control.
So far as possible visits will be made
to any farm in the county where there
is any trouble with plant diseases, if
advance request is made of the Coun-
ty Agent. The following men have
offered their farms as meeting places:

II the people of Sussex County get the
best results from the reform legislation
which created the three commission form
of government for Sussex County two
years ago, and which will go into effect
at the first of January, 1917, after the
general elections shall have chosen the
members of the new body, they must
act now and secure the nominations,
IN BOTH THE REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC PARTIES, of three men
far above the average in affairs pertaining
to finance and business affairs. In the
town of Milford the Democratic Party
has one of the best equipped men for the
position the county of Sussex can pro-
duce, in the person of Alfred w. Powell,
late president of the Milford Trust Com
pany.. He is a man beyond reproach.
He is a man of the highest class of bust
ness ability, and he commands the re-
spect of all the people of all political |
parties. II the Democratic Party will |
name and elect such men as Mr.. Powell |
the affairs of Sussex County will be safe
for economical, wise and progressive ad-
This should be the aim of
both parties to secure men of this high
character and standing for this most i'm
portant Of all county positions. We are
glad to see that a movement has been
made to get strong nominations by a
public meeting at Laurel, and it should
be followed by similar efforts all over the
county.
