BILE falls, saving themselves by clutch
ing branches as they fell toward the
ground.
Now, terrible fall averted in such
fashion was productive Of shock.
Such shock was productive Of molecu-
lar changes in the cerebral cells. These
molecular changes were transmitted to
the cerebral cells of progeny-became,
in short, racial memories. Thus when
you and l, asleep or doing off to
sleep, fall through space and awake
to sickening consciousness just before
we strike we are merely remembering
what happened to our arboreal ances-
tors and what has been stamped by
cerebral changes into the heredity of
the race.
There is nothing strange in this any
more than there is anything strange in
an instinct. An instinct is merely a
habit that is stamped into the stuff Of
our heredity; that is all. 1t will be

From every side wild hogs dashed
into the open space-a score of them.

day. and he must have weighed all Of
a hundred and thirty pounds. His face
was broad and fat. and the eyebrows
overhung the eyes. The eyes them
selves were small, deep set and close
together.
The forehead slanted back from the
eyes. and the hair began right at the
eyes and ran up over the head. The
head itself was preposterously small
and was supported on an equally pre-
posterous thick. short neck.
There was an elemental economy
about his body-as was there about all
our bodies. The chest was deep, it is

To any intelligent and impartial man
or woman it is plain that the Town OF
Milford is facing a problem which will
have to be solved, and solved on basis
of intelligent consideration of the rights
of all the people, and not for the interest
of any business or favor of any individuls,
and the problem is that of traffic over
the streets of the Town of Milford. With
the general use of automobiles, it has be-
come dangerous to travel on or across
any part of the main business part of
Walnut Street on Wednesdays and Sat
urdays-the two main business days.
This is especially true of the latter day
and the evenings of almost all days dur
ing the week. In Smyrna and other
towns they have regulated traffic, and
have endeavored to educate the people as
to the rules of the road, the legal way to
pass around corners, and also the way to |
cross streets and make turns, without |
endangering either themselves or others
driving. The intersection at Second and |
Walnut Streets, South Milfor1, is especi-
allv dangerous because Of the FIVE streets
radiating there, and it will be wisdom
for Town Council to have printed instruc
tons published as to how traffic shall

enforce the laws rigidly. The new driv-
ers and the farmers are the greatest
offenders against public safety. They
neither know or understand the rules of
highway traffic, which they will have to
earn before they could pass over the
streets of Smyrna, Newark and the City

DEATH has removed DR.. William A.
Parker, and he will not have to answer
before the bar of justice for the murder
of Ebe T. Lynch at Lewes on July 18th.
This is probably the most satisfactory
ending for his case, as it saves his family
the publicity and disgrace of trial and
the legal penalty of his crime, and the
State is saved the prosecution of the case.
The Sheriff IS not called upon to execute
the penalty of death on a fellow human
being, and the majesty of the law is
maintained just the same. 1t was ter
rible crime he committed, but there were
conditions which led up to it, which ex-
ist in all parts of Delaware. and that con-
dition can only be removed by removing
the cause, which is the incorporate use
Of liquor. The way to stop trouble is to
remove the cause for trouble in every in
stance.

not satisfied with the service they are
getting from their public service depart
ments. Town Council seems to have lost
all realization of proper conditions as to
maintainance of the public highways, or
even economical administration. The po-
lice are permitted to pass over the streets
in shirt sleeves, or with uniforms unbut-
toned and hanging. No other town or
city permits tins kind Of conditions 10
prevail. Il the uniforms are too hot, get
thin serge suits. and let the police wear
less under them during the hot weather.
1t is well enough to compel people to
keep their property in healthy and pre-
sentable condition, but it is also proper
to have the town cause its representatives
of the law to present tidy and neat ap-
pearance when on duffy. The police are
not to blame for this, it is the men who
the Town Council who are re-
sponsible, and must be criticised.

If the Republican Party of Delaware
is to do its part towards regaining con-
troll of the United States Senate, as well
as send a Republican to represent Della
ware in the House of Representatives,
the unseerily squabble which has been
rending the party for the past two months
must cease, and common sense and sane
management be injected into the cam
paign. It is plain that there is a revolt
against returning Henry A. du Pont to
the Senate, and this among a large and
growing part of the Republicans Of Della
wars not because of his lack of ability,
but because of his age, which makes It a
great chance that his life would not cover
the period Of the term for which he would
be elected to serve. When this objection,
in combination with the animOsity of in
dividuals against the leadership of 7.
Coleman du Pont are considered, it is al
most a certainty that to nominate any
du Pont for the United States Senator
ship will be for the Republican Party to
invite defeat at the polls next November
Every man, no matter to what heights
he has attained in the affairs of the State
or the Nation, owes a duty to his party,
and when a time of great emergency
shall arise, be must fOregO personal
pleasure, or personal preferment, and
step to the front in response to the de-
mands of the people for his service as
their standard bearer. Justice Hughes is
a splendid representative of just this very
point, and TO the people of Delaware who
recognize the need for this State to re-
main staunch in the Republican ranks,
there is a man who will lead the Repub
lican Party of Delaware to sure victory,
aud we now insist that Chief Justice James
Pennewill of Delaware shall accept the
of the Republican Party in
on August 22nd for the United
States Senatorship. With the Hon James
Pennewill on the ticket for the Senator I
ship. there will be no question as to the (
result of the election in November. The |
R republicans of Delaware wherever dis /
persed will rally with enthusiastic sup
port to his candidacy, and the State Of /
Delaware will have a Senator who will 4

IT has been demonstrated that the
Southern idea Of tariff -for-revenue-o only,
as exemplihed by the Underwood tariff
law, is a rank failure. A rate of duty
averaging less than 10 per cent, which
prevails under the present tariff law,
gives huge increase in imports of foreign
goods, competing with American products.
but it also results in a fearful decrease
in the customs revenues collected. This
means additional taxation, and the indus
tries of the north and west, which are left
to the tender mercies of foreign competi-
tors, employing pauper paid labor, are
mulcted to make up losses in revenue.
With the Republican Party in power,
and a protective tariff law in force, the
industries of the entire country will be
fostered, internal taxation will be less
ened, and if the foreign competitor de-
sires to enter our market he will have to
subscribe to the expenses of running the
Government. Those whoar for America
First, will support the Republican policy.
