MAKE Delaware into four units for
public school administration with
Sussex. Kent, Rural New Castle and
the City of Wilmington as the four di-
visions. Make all responsible to the
Commissioner of Education and also
place each county or unit of the State
School Tax System under the admin
istration of five commissioners, who
shall employ, discharge and assign
all teachers. A system of this kind
will give more for money expended
in public school education, than is
now gotten under the ancient and
wasteful system the rural schools !
have been operating for seventy and I
more years.

THE Legislature should create a
Highway Department for Delaware,
and then borrow as much money as
the $4,000 or more now paid into the
State Treasury for automobile licenc-
es will pay the annual interest at AZ
per cent. The amount so borrowed
might exceed two millions of dollars,
and it should be expended in building
a modern concrete boulevard from
the Pennsylvania boundary at the
north end of Delaware, to the Mary
land boundary at the South. Then
the future duties of the proposed
Highway Department for Delaware
would be constructing east and west
concrete roads across all the counties
at points about evenly distant. No
better use can be made of automo-
bile licenses.

1T is a moral question as to wheth-

newspapers which circulate in any
capacity among the people The Mil

Tertising from its columns year ago
---as it had shut out for many years,
other advertising of fraudulent char
acter, or Of character which would
have led to pecuniary loss to those of
its readers who might have been in
huenced by it. It is certainly right
Tor the people through rules and
laws Of their postofice department,
to regulate public advertising which
might pass through the mails or cir
culate generally among the people.
Advertising Of immoral character is
unlawful, and very properly It is
made so, and any advertising which
may result in decrease Of efficiency of
a human being or have tendency to
create public disorder through its
use. must come under the
same ban. We do not believe that in
these days or time any muzzling laws
for newspapers can be of benefit to
the whole people; but we mean by
this. regulation Of printing editorials
'r communications on political sub {
ects. The law now pending in Con
'ress would throttle all public ex-
'ressions Of opinion. and finally lead t
0 revolution by the common people. b

locked to the park to root for the most
consistent team that has represented
the Missouri metropolis in many many
moons. The other reason was the
change in ownership.

a championship bout with Willard. Ac-
cording to Fulton. Willard was to &C

from New York via steamer. He was

fight a ten-round bout with William
Tate.
Personally. I don't believe Willard
ever will fight anyone" Fulton said.
But If Big Jess does decide to come
out OF retirement and defend his claim,
I'm ready to meet him any time and
anywhere.
Jess said he would turn over his
end of the purse TO the Red Cross fund
I'm too short TO do that. It would cost
me $1,000 to train for a championship
match but If Willard believes in him
