D. A. c. AT FREDERICK.

The autumn season is with us again /;
the leaves Of the trees are turning yel-
low, the grass is dying by the roadside,
and the cats are sitting on the gate posts
in the early morning with their noses
toward the rising sun. Need We any bet
ter evidence than this that the tall is
with US If so we have the decomposi-
ton of matter everywhere, and the smell
of the harvest al around us. The acorns
are ripening in the forest, near by, and
the hickory nuts are strewing the woods
of Lavinia's. Peaches are gone, the to-
mato season is over, and the farmer is
now engaged on his corn crop, and will
soon have nothing to do but spend the
money he has made the past summer.
All things appear to us to have been pro-
pitious to the farmer during the past sea-
son-good crops, good prices, good every
thing, and they, as a class, aud individu
ally, should be thankful.

arm, and, apparently Indifferent to all
earthly surroundings. With perfect non
chalance he came to the depot. We met
him at the door, Hello :" said he,
What are you doing here?" Later he
introduced the writer and the station
agent to the lady of Indianapolis, Indiana,
a near neighbor to Vice President Mar
shall. The lady was fine looking per-
and all smiles, Paul Pry" was
all activity. Myself, with those in the
room, we're delighted. Conversation
lowed freely between Paul" and his
sweetheart. When the lady went to buy
her ticket he went with her, and leaning
IN the counter he pranced around like a

THE temperance ticket which was
nominated last week at Dover endors-
ed such nominees as are known to be
favorable to the temperance cause
who had been nominated by the two
leading parties, with the exception of
the governor. In that case each of
the men nominated, by both the Re
publican and Democratic parties, are
pronounced in their opinion as to
temperance legislation. and for that
reason alone. the temperance voter
was left the privilege of making his
selection as to who should be the
Chief Executive of Delaware. The
vote may help some lame
dog over the stile in one or more in

arguments, is from one side Of the

its composition. if not convincing. AT
ter reading the editorial, the question
arises, What would Colonel Henry du
Pont do If the situation were reversed
and il was his name placed upon the
third ticket? Would he resign from
the ticket which endorsed him? Would
he resent the demand from those who
we're not endorsed. that he come of

THE nomination of John G. Town
send. Jr., for Governor by the Re
publican Party was not brought about
by the love which the regular Repub-
lican organization had for Colonel
Townsend. or a belief that he was
necessary for good government. The
conditions in political affairs made it
more than necessary that the demands
Of Sussex County be given considera-
ton, unless an open revolt be made
at the State Convention. It was a de-
mand of the people which caused
John G. Townsend to be nominated
for the Governorship, and for that
reason if no other. all the people who
desire to vote for him, must be given
the privilege to place his name at the
head Of any ticket to be placed before
the people in November. John G
Townsend can be elected Governor of
Delaware, and he will be elected, if
the people follow their own inclina-
tions and do not permit the self-in-
terest Of a few political leaders to

IN all parts of Delaware there is
evidence that a general enforcement
of the automobile laws is in force,
and it is time that people be made to
see the danger in tollerating infrac-
tions of the law. While it is danger
Gus to travel without the required
lights at night, it is far more danger
GUS to travel in crowded streets, and
turn corners at excessive speed. The
establishing of traffic posts around
which automobiles must pass in the
order assigned for travel, is one of
the best safeguards yet made, and two
such should be established in Milford
before an accident forces the town
government to take action. The loss
of life. or manning of a human being,
cannot be an excuse after the accident
has occurred. Every community
must meet the new conditions which
have been brought about by the gen.
eral use of the automobile. and it has
come to stay, and will be more and
more numerous as time passes.
