From the Dover state News.
The State Road. between Dover and
Smyrna is a disgrace to the state Of
Delaware 10 is hard TO understand why
one OF the main thoroughfares in
civilized State should be permitted TO
remain so long In such a miserable con-
dition. 10 is true it would cost a con-
siderable sum Of money to improve this
stretch OF road, but It is costing the
county and the State Just as much
money in It's present abominable state

There are a number Of very bad
roads In Delaware, especially In the
lower part Of the state, but the major
ily OF them are small branch roads

Dover road, however, Is a section of the
states main highway, and every au-

TOILETTE.

Wxy It'll an air Of injured innocence. and apparently
wv resting under the delusion that the speech he
making historical event, senator Robert NJ. la
Toilette the last day of tho late session Of Con
ges consumed three hours Of valuable time in defense
OF his
tie spoke voubly and long about The right Of free
speech the duty Of Congress and The power Of the
pie Tie resented hoty the criticisms and the resolutions
that had been hurled at his devoted head But with the
blind faulty That has marked his for the past
three years he nowhere and IN place met the principal
matter in which he offended.
La Toilette stands before the nation as one who COM
mitted sabotage by trying TO throw monkeyrench into
: the legislation machinery by which the government
sought TO ayenge German crimes and German insults
With great dramatic effect La Toilette quoted from the
speeches Of Daniel Webster Henry Clay Charles Sumner
snd Abraham Lincoln TO show how during Mexican
ar they demanded that the government upon wha
terms 10 willing 10 conclude peace. But he neglected
90 say that stripped of all exraneous matters the under
lying issue Of the Mexican adventure whether slave
Territory should be extended or not. No wonder men
like Lincoln and Webster and demanded TO know
what aims and what was our goal
The great question in todays is whether German
milarism shall rule The world or be crushed. An other
questions are futile and OF small account beside &c. We
entered the TO make the world for democracy
but il La Toilette wants bill of particulars t is easy
to supply &c.
Germany assassinated citizens the Lusitania and
other ships she attempted TO dictate to how, when
and where American ships should sail upon the and
to what ports they should be bound she virtually de-
clared upon when she sought TO have Japan and
Mexico set upon her ambassador and other agents
fomented plots against industries sought to blow
mp our factories and ships, and nled the land with
spies who worked against republic.
This being So Toilette renders sorry service to his
State and to the nation when he virtually demands that
make peace before have even begun to make war
He knows, all know, why we have gone to
war. We have gone to to ayenge certain specific
crimes against us to crush kaserisn and remove IT'S
menace from the world. The President has clearly
stated we want no annexation and ndemnes for
selves but we do want reparation for little Belgium and
poor crushed Serbia We do want the feters removed
from 'he small peoples whom the German, the Austrian,
'ns hungarian and the Turk have oppressed

And right next door there should he an American
candy store where the boys could purchase the Of
sweets they used to and where they could imbbo

TO finish on Dr. Fitch would have the Lambs Club OF

TRIES TO
PASS BOGUS BILL
especial Star Bullssi. oor-.s,snAsae..>


HILO, Hawaii, Nov. Ting Chun
Bung, a Korean, Is an enterprisins
man, but he seems to have underesti-
mated the ability Of Hflo's detective
force when yesterday he tried to pass
off one Of the 500 bills that were is
sued at the time Of the civil war. The
bin that the heather tried to get rid
OF was one OF the Confederate States
currency and its value 10 nil.
The Korean entered a tailor's shop
and ordered a suit OF the bonus type.
In payment for the garments he ten
dered the bill OF the losers in the civil
war. The storekeeper was suspicious
of the paper money, although he had
seen quite lot during the past week
or so and he asked somebody else TO
change the note. Then came tho
biow-up and the Korean was arrested.
When cross-exsmined by Chief OF
Detectives George Richardson yester
day afternoon. the Korean declared
that he had taken in the bill when
playing in a crap game. This state
ment has been discounted somewhat.
for it has been proved that the little
gambling game was pulled off about
six months ago. The fact that the
Korean had packed the old-time bill
around for so many months until
bonus and bill time came around. is
thought to be evidence that he knew
very well what the paper was and that
1t was not United States money. This
morning Mr.. ling Chun Bung will
either go free or else 60 bung before
