Delaware State Fair The Greatest Ever

While there will be much to be done
up until the last few days, arrange
ments for the Delaware State Fair OF
Wawaset Park. Wilmington, Septem-
her 4, 5, ., I, s, are well in hand, and
there is every indication that the man
agement will realize on their plans to
make this the greatest fair Delaware
has yet seen.
1t was originally planned to make
Tuesday children's day as usual, when
all school children would be admitted
free. but on account of the epidemic
of infantile paralysis in New York
and Pennsylvania ard New Jersey, the
Delaware State Board of Health has
requested that the fair management
cancel this arrangement. Therefore
there will be no free day for children.
and furthermore children of Is and
under will not be admitted to the State
fair grounds any day during the week.
The fair management will endorse this
order.
The exhibits this year will be great
err than ever and the racing events
promise genuine sport. Much interest
centres in the automobile races on
labor day. also the various programs
for the evenings of the fair.

MAY KEEP THEM HOME

In some respects this Congress is
the most incompetent thu country has
ever known. A great deal of its
mediocrity is due to an average lack
of high-grade craftsmanship among
the members; more of it comes as the
result of inefficient, unbusiness-like
methods. and the growing tendency of
political eXpediency to determine what
Congress shall or shall not do.
The people seem to know how COM
pletely this session has surrendered to
pork and how it has provided that the
public should pay for the playing of
congressional politics. Without doubt
there is a nearly universal feeling of
disapproval. Because of the wide
spread desire to condemn the ineffi-
cheney and waste and petty politics
which have characterized this session,
there is likely to be a large proper
tion Of new men in the next Congress.
Did anyone perceive in the ST.
Louis platform of the Democratic
party the slightest reference to the
tariff as the cause of the high cost of
living? That was their chief asset in
the campaign of 1912. Did Senator
about free sugar? That was his
prize piece Of stump bunk in the cam
baign of 1912. Free sugar was to
save the housewife 2 cents a pound
on every pound she purchased. The
tariff on sugar was cut 25 per cent, to
so on the free list May l, 1916. The
price did not bulge before the war
broke out-when it rose. 1t is passing

He lived for some time after his re-
lease from prison with sister. Mrs.
Leavitt of Monticello, Aroostopk coun-
ty, but less than a year ago she was
found dead in her home. under some
what mysterious circumstances. al
though no deep investigation was
made and no clue found that said foul
play.
Hurd, through the death OF his SIS
ter was left without means of support
and his health became broken still
more than when he left prison. He re-
manned in Aroostook for a time and
finally went to Pittsfield, where he has
since remained. The officials of Pitts
field about 10 days ago notified the
Harmony authorities that Hurd was
being taken care of by them and that
they would hold Harmony responsible
for the expense.
Here comes the quandary-what to
do with Hurd? He has no one to care
for him, either friends or relatives. and
has a legal residence in Harmony. but
is barred from returning there by the
restrictions of his pardon. II he does
return, that constitutes a technical
violation of the pardon terms. The
people Of Harmony are not partlcu-
larly anxious for his temperance In
| town and the wife of the murdered
man and friends strenuously oppose
it. Having been liberated by the State
and now deprived Of the means OF sup
port through which the State depend
ed on for his care through the re-
mainder of his life, Mr.. Marble
thought that the State might now be
willing to provide for the mans future
care.
| The matter was thoroughly talked
over with the Governor and several of
the councillors, but was not formally
presented while in session, 1t being ar
ranged to let the matter remain as 1t
is, for investigation and future action.
1t is said to be the only case of the
kind to come up during the memory of
anyone now connected with the States
affairs and no one remembers of a like
matter on record.
