the matter is purely a self inter-
est. We can't get workmen to
come to Newark and be subject to
death from Typhoid, without feel
ing a sense of responsibility. We
want the town clean for our own
purely selfish interest; we don't
want to stand in the way of any
one who wants to die from Ty-
phoid, but we don't want any one
to contract it innocently and be-
cause they came here to work for
us.
We will subscribe to fund to
be used to show up every dirty
hole in Newark, if every one is
shown up, Furthermore we can in
dictate a few such places, within
easy smelling distance Of the cen
ter of our leading street.
If no general fund is started t.
be used as indicated we will con-
slider placing in your hands the
amount necessary to clean up
some of the dirty holes now exist
ing.
Very truly,

THE ISSUE

Every voter that is registered
knows the issues that are present.
ed for his decision next Saturday.
Upon the delegates elected, de-
pend in great part, the welfare
and success Of the Republican
prty at the coming election. Rec
ognizing the division, we are
forced to decide this issue. One
set of delegates, named in their
respective districts express be-
lief in the management of the
party according to the rules and
regulations heretofore adopted
and accepted. 1t is generally
understood where tn e S e men
stand. They are representative
of the several districts. The
other set known by their own adj
mission are following the leader
ship of Alfred |. du Pont, whose
chief representative is Frank
Alice.
What they propose to do is not
known. Leave it TO u.s. is the
nearest we can get to their plan
Of action. Judging from the past,
we can i'll afford to vote for dele
rates, men, wac at this late date
before the primaries, have no
candidates or policies. I'VE will
win or vote the Democratic tick
ct" is a proposed slogan in White
Clay.
This rule or ruin" policy is not
our conception CT Republican
principles. We grant these men
the right to their opinion. But we
ask for an expression Of that
opinion before we can consent to
give our vote. Surely they can
rot act as representative Of their
districts if the voters have no
idea Of what they propose to do
With the facts given The public
to date and with Frank Alice, eX-
L. s. Senator by premed!tated &C
cidert, as their leader, there is
but one alternative. The choice is
with the voters. We have faith
in Delaware manhood, which will
vote for Republican principles
and thereby register a defeat fol
the influence of those following
Al. |. which politically speaking
is pronounced Alice.

TOWN MEETING

We wish to call attention to the
Town Meeting on next Monday
evening, to be held in the Opera
House. This meeting has been
called by Council and the local
Board of Health. The object is to
discuss the Ways and Means of
making Newark better place in
which to live. To say it is as fine
town as there is on the PENN
Sula, is putting it mildly. It's pub
lie utilities far surpass those of
most towns of it size. But this
does not satisfy. Newark is be-
coming aroused. It's citizens are
becoming more and more deter
mined to make this community
realize its greatest possibilities.
With its location, its setting
among the hills, it's public utili-
ties, Newark can. with little de-
termined effort, become a model
town. Health and Beauty" can
with very little work be applied to
Newark.
Xpcrts in Sanitation and
Town Beautiful. strangers to local
tradition and prejudices, can most
easily bring this about. It is a
delicate and difficult task for
Council to accomplish. Their as
sociations and business connec-
tions make it. at times, unpleas-
ant. But theirs is the delegated
duty to do everything in their
nower for the town. They have
done much nd received, we be-
lieve. due recognition. Our sug-
gestion, if we may express an
opinion. is the services of an ex-
pert, who will be given power by
Council to carry his recommend
ations into effect.
Here is q task and an oppor-
tunity.

Mr.. E. c. Johnson,
Dear Sir:-You are doing an
important work in making public
the contamination of our drinking
water. 1t is our hope that you will
soon also make public a list Of
those dealers selling contaminated
milk, and other contaminated ar
ticles of food.
Would it not be interesting to
make a list showing the names of
those who have died from typhoid
in the last five years in Newark,
showing where they bought their
milk and cream, where they OBJ
tanned their drinking water, etc.
Do you suppose the publication of
such a list would jar anyone or
anybody?
How about some photographs of

posedly leading citizens, that
would help?

that Mr.. Alice has an honest de-
sire to improve political condi-

wishes to forget his past record,
can he expect us to follow him as
a leader, so soon after that re-

Unduly so. We would have more
