TOWNSHIPS MESSAGE.
ON the Milford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
Governor John @. Townsend. Jr., has
been vested with the responsibility Of
steering the ship OF State for the next
four years, and the people Of Della
ware need have but little anxiety but
that he will uphold the splendid rec
ord OF his predecessor. Delaware is
indeed fortunate in selecting her gov
errors, and the deep Christian char
acter, combined with the business abil-
ity and experience which John G.
Townsend, Jr., brings to the office, as
sures us that the finances, and the
civil government, will be maintained
upon high moral and effective plane.
In his inaugural address, Governor
Townsend was clear cut in defining
his attitude upon all the high lights
OF government. Especially was he
strong in his urgent appeal for the
public schools, for real highways and
the question of the prohibiting or
shipment OF liquor into districts where
the sale Is prohibited, and we believe
that before the end of the present
legislative session, measures to meet
the demands Of all these questions Will
become laws. The Inauguration last
Tuesday was a picture to long linger
in the memory OF those who were for
tunate enough TO be in the Dover
opera House, and as the new Governor
delivered his address. the waves OF
applause which rolled over the audi
torium, at the mention Of subjects on
which the people feel deeply, left no
question but that the great majority
of all the people was with his state
ment as TO what John G. Townsend
Jr.. as Governor OF Delaware, stands
for.

DELAWARE's NEW GOVERNOR


From the Berlin Advance.
John G. Townsend, Jr., Of Selby-
willie. one OF the best known business
men of Southern Delaware, was inaug-
urated Governor at noon Tuesday. The
ceremony was held in the Opera
House al Dover, and was witnessed
by a large gathering Of prominent
people from all parts OF the state.
Governor Townsend's inaugural ad-
dress shows a broad and comprehen'
sive view of the needs OF the people.
and IL he succeeds in getting all the
reforms and improvements he con-
templates, Delaware will be better
state in which to live, and the Mary
land counties adjoining will also reap
the benefit Of some OF them. Ihis IS
particularly true OF his recommenoa-
ton for a system OF State roads, ana
for an anti-shipping law for the ory
counties OF Kent and Sussex.
other reforms the new governor asks
] for are a system of uniform taxation
better ray for school teachers. and
better school buildings. full suffrage
for women. vocational training Of the
youth, workmen's compensation law
and more attention to agricultural In
| terests.

DESERVES ADEQUATE HELP.

From the Newark Ledger.
Elsewhere will be noticed an article
on the Industrial School for Girls in
Wilmington. This is a worthy institu-
ton, and deserves all the help It needs.
The State appropriates a small sum
each year, and In view Of the increase ID
cost of living. and other requirements,
an increase in the annual appropria-
ton will be asked, and II should be
given. There should be no hesitancy
in making an increase, as the insti-
tuition is doing splendid work. The
State should not neglect this institu-
ton.
