. AT no period in the history Of the Re
publican Party in Delaware has the time
to stop, look and listen, been more inn
portant than right now. The time to
prevent discord is before it begins, and
with the statements which are going
forth from various sources, and the at
tempt to force public opinion into acqui-
esent accord with the plans of individuals
and their policies, will bring only regret
and sorrow after the election next fall.
Whenever the Republican Party in
Delaware has tax en- the whole of the
people into its confidence, and honestly
presented its purposes, and its effort to
attain that which would strengthen the
whole party and its principles, it has gone
forward triumphant to victory, because it
had the undivided and loyal support of
the people, who understood it's aims and
lie purposes. This must be its position
daring the campaign of 1916, and unless
the men who believe in the principles of
the Republican Party, and who are not
seekers after the loaves and fishes, arouse
and take an interest in the primaries, and
the naming of those who are to represent
them as delegates and officers, they will
sind their honest purpose and high aim
for their party ofno avail, and it will have
men of little or no force of character as
representatives of what they stand for.
Reports of meetings of county commit
tees in New Castle and Kent County
have been printed in the daily papers,
which show that the professional poll
tician q taking hand in the shaping of
the campaign. Delegates to the National
Convention have been recommended
a. the choice Of the 'committee-men," !"
as one of the means to influence the pub
lie. We ask Of the people and of these
men who framed these actions of the
by what right are you auth
Orized to speak for the men who will do |
the voting at the primaries and at the
general election1
Why not come out in the open arena
and meet all Republicans wherever dis
Dersed, and in consultation. in argument
,ndin presentation Of the desires and
conditions Of all the party, arrive at a
lecision, even if it is COMPROMISED By
his method. and only through this meth
ID of fairness and consideration of all the
,eople, will the Republican Party in
Delaware be able to win at the polls next
Iovember. It will take all Republicans
, win, and we want all Republicans to

THE DUPONT Boulevard should be one
of the subjects in which Milford is active
ly interested, and no effort on the part
of the people should be withheld; for
twenty years, yes, ten years after the
boulevard is completed, the property of
this part of Delaware, and especially
about Milford, will have doubled in
value, and the farmers will be enjoying
returns from their products which they
have never dreamed of receiving. This
will make Milford one of the most inn
portant shipping centres of the PENN
sula, and this is no dream; for the trucks
which will ply between here and the
lower part of Sussex County to bring and
carry freight to and from our steamboats,.
will also bring for our stores in the way
of customers who will reach here by
automobiles for forty miles distant. 1t
will mean a large modern department
store of six or eight stories, and it will
mean more money in circulation for the
people as we'll as the banks. We need
and must have the boulevard completed,
and it is up to lou to show your appre-
citation of the splendid opportunity given
at the hand of T. Coleman du POnt by
creating an open expression of the pub
lic desire to have this great benefit COM
pleted at an early day. It's largely up
to the people themselves to keep the
work going forward after the section be-
tween Maryland and Georgetown is com
pleted this May.

We watched her night and day
Until at last, with aching hearts
We saw her pass away.

Her loving smile her loving face,
None can ill her vacant place.

Where the trees their branches wave,
Lies our loving wife and mother
In her cold and silent grave. Il

erable increase in the volume of American business. Perhaps rail- road earnings are a better indica- ton in this respect than bank clear ings The railroads have earned about 40 per cent. more so far this year than a year ago, and the gain is only partly due to better rates, traffic having made most encourag- ing gains. Exports for the last nine months were about 50 per cent. ahead in value of last year and inn ports showed an increase of about 25 per cent. over a, year ago.
 New charters of concerns with not less than a million capital amounted to over $1,OO0O00,000 or five times what they were a year ago. Such evidences of extra ordinary activity could be multiplied indefinitely, and encouraging as they may be they un- svoidedly raise the question, when will a halt be due? Optimism con- tinues on the flood tide and there are no signs of weakness in the in dustrial fabric; albeit there are cer- tain changes in tendencies and con- ditions which should not escape notice. First, commO Odity prices have risen to a point that not infreQuently arrests new business. The index number ot the London Economist stood at 4.19O on April 3rd, compared with 33337 a year ago; a rise of about 25 per cent in values, chiefly in minerals, timber and beef. The rise in American markets was prob ably not quite so extreme as this, but it has been very considerable and is now eNerting it's effect upon credit The great expansion Ill leaning capacity of the banks brought about by large gold imports, the new banking law and other circumstances especially the war, produced the much expected imitation.

 Employment Elsewhere

Slowly but surely. the neighboring town of Berlin is becoming shorn of it's brick workers and the principal industry of the town is at a stand still. Strikers to the number of 100 went to Windsor yesterday afternoon, to get the men employed in R. Q. Clarks yard there to join them MT. Clark heard of the movement and appealed to Sheriff Dewey. The lat ter, with a number of deputies, met the approaching contingent a nd warned them that any who placed a foot on MT. Clark's property would be liable to arrest for trespass. There were no additions to the number Of strikers from that plant.
 The Berlin depot square presented it's usual peaceful scene this morn ing practically all of the strikers having left town. Each yard has :, number of men at work, but not near lv enough to make brick. It was said that no less than forty of the men concerned in the strike secured endowment in the Stanley Works vesterday The few left in Berlin are doing odd jobs at various places and some are getting their household goods ready for transportation to this city and other places.
