BUSY WEEK AT DOVER

Continued from Page u
Among Bills introduced in the
House is one by Mr.. Downward to
permit the First Presbyterian
Church, Wilmington, to sell and
convey title to that part of its
cemetery property as is required
for the proposed new public lib
rary, extending south from Tenth
street 105 feet and running from
Market to King streets.
Another by Mr.. Burris relating
to the State tuberculosis Com
mission, appropriating $4,000 a
year for INDECENT patients; author
izing an appropriation Of $4,000
year for colored patients at their
hospital; requiring midwives to
register and regulating their bus
mess; increasing the appropria-
ton to the State Board of Health
from $4,000 to $4,000 year.
The House on Monday received
communication from the Central
Labor Union of Wilmington, stat
ing that the union had gone on
record as favoring the bill to in
crease the pay of members of the
Legislature from SIS to $40 a day,
and also favoring the initiative
and referendum.
A bill is to be introduced this
week to exclude legatees and de-
visees from serving as witnesses
to a last will and testament in this
State. The bill will provide that
"every will, whether of personal
or real estate, must be in writing
and signed by the testator, or by
some person subscribing the test
ator's name in his presence and by
his express direction, and attested
and subscribed in his presence by
two or more creditable witness,
exclusive of legatees and devisees
under the will or it shall be void"
Another bill will be introduced
upon the suggestion of the Tri-
State Milk Commission. At
meeting of the Delaware Milk
Commission, held in the office of
the State Board of Agriculture, at
Dover Saturday afternoon, it was
decided to recommend to the
Legislature such bill. The pro-
cessions of the proposed bill will
fix the standard of milk in this
State at 814 solids exclusive of
fat, and 34 butter fat, making
total of 1112 solids. 1t also pro-
poses to license all producers at
nominal license fee of 81 year,
and to license dealers from $3.50
a year up, according to the size of
their business. TIE revenue de-
rived from these license fees
would be used to employ State
milk inspector, who shall make
regular inspections of dairies in
all parts of the State.

pointed out where these grants
had figured in the disputes be-
tween Delaware and New Jersey.
However, as New Jerseys grant,
which antedated that of Delaware
gave it the land to low-water
mark, though Delaware had the
title to the water within the
Twelve-mile Circle, at one time
New Jersey yielded to Delaware's
claim to the land within the cir
Gle, but subsequently this was re-
versed.

eight days, there were only half a
dozen who dropped out, in spite
of the fact that they made 20
miles a day and through noun
famous regions. On that hike
they carried sixty pounds and at
one stage walked from an eleva-
ton of 1000 to 5000, constantly
up grade. The men who dropped
out had to stand the kidding" of
their fellows and rather than do
this they stuck it out. To help
each other they would carry each
others rifles.

A NEED OF THE STATE

Of Citizenship are just now much
used terms. From the platform
and the pulpit, from the editors
desk and the Seminary these are
daily topics of discussion. More
and more are we recognizing the
fact that every man has a duty to
his community, his state and coun-
try, outside of his daily personal
task. Striking today is the at
titude of the business interests.
To serve more than self is a rec
ognized slogan. Probably the last
to enter into this spirit of taking
part in the daily routine affairs of
government is that part of our
citizenship directly interested in
our institutions of learning.
Search for knowledge, investiga-
ton of the past, living life of
books, they, too much, have scant
patience with the problems of the
day. Seeing the evils Of politics,
they proudly refuse to play their
part. The Country needs the
knowledge and intelligence of
those acquainted with the past.
The state needs the mental train
ing that is theirs. The Commun-
ity needs the touch Of culture and
artistic sense that books and his
tory have given. But self salts
fed in their book made world, they
refuse to face the ugliness of So
ciety in the making. They refuse
to mingle with the crowd, touch
elbows with the masses in the
struggle for better things. The
pleasing ease and life of non-res-
istance has blinded them from the
stern realities incident to improv-
ing present conditions. AS al
ways the case with the student,
they read as superior beings. In
the life around them they hesitate
to work with the rank and file in
attacking the crudities of the day.
In their aloofness, they are in
clined to critic those who take
part in the actual mechanics of
government. They see only tinsel
honors or commercial gain as
recompense for what they term
"dabbling in politics." They
would express sympathy rather
than good cheer to those who are
actively interested in this exper-
iment Of government. They fail,
utterly, to see how manhood can
enter this mass Of trick plays and
come out unscratched. The smirch
of petty politics blinds them to
any possibility Of service.
Wrong, dead wrong. With their
view in vogue American Institu-
tions rush to their doom. That
these institutions need their SER
vice, is shown definitely in their
Sinking the task. Their attitude
today makes more serious the task
of those working to hold true our
institutions. They render only part
of the service in the class room.
Preparing in the class room, the
citizens of the future, their work
will be i'll accomplished if those in
charge are not thoroughly famil-
lar with the practical workings of
the government Of today.
The Nation, the State, the Com
munity needs the College Men.
Politics so-called, needs the brains
and the ideals of these men. The
aloofness held from the crowd
makes for an i'll founded class.
Culture and Life become set apart.
If continued, Culture will live in
country whose Government is
administered by those out of pat
fence with Ideals. At least give
cheer to those giving their best in
keeping true the Democracy
founded and nourished in the Col =.
lege Halls of the Revolution.

market his output at the same price.
