that if he could secure for me a better
man would be glad to appoint him.
! This, however, he has not done uD to
this time, and might add, that the
! supervisor in question, according to
Mr.. Mustard's resolution, is a demo-
crat, although at the time of his ap-
| pointment the political affiliations Of
this man had never occurred to my
thought. This statement can be ap-
piled without reservation to every ap-
pointment l have made since have
been in Office.
On the other hand Mr.. Mustard, the
minority member of the Levy Court,
has suggested to me the names of sew
eral men for appointment on the
roads Of Sussex County, and l wish to
say that l have given them employ
ment as requested by Mr. Mustard,
to every man he has suggestedto me;
nor has it ever occurred to me in
employing men suggested by Mr.. Mus
tard to ask any questions as to the
political affiliations of the men recon-
mended by him. My only thought in
every instance has been to secure the
best service possible for the county |
for the money expended.
In conclusion l wish to say that, |
while under the provisions of the law |
governing the appointment of road /
supervisors the entire responsibility
rests upon the shoulders of the Coun-
ty Engineer, yet, If Mr.. Mustard, or
any other member of the Levy Court,
will suggest the names of better men
Tor the services to be performed, in
any or all of the districts of this coun-
", and will secure their consent to
serve as road supervisors, will sub
ititute the men suggested to me for
hose l have named, and will not ask
whether they are republicans, demo-
rats, prohibitiOnists, or socialists.
might add, that l have already per- [
onally requested Mr.. Mustard to
lame better men than those l have {
ppointed in any of the districts; {

ROAD MEETING At CANNON

A meeting of many prominent far,
mers and citizens of Seaford. Cannon
and Bridgeville and surrounding couu.
try was held at Cannon on Friday at.
ternoon of last week regarding the
road leading from Georgetown, By
Greens Mill, Fishers Cross Roads
through Cannon, and thence to the
Maryland line. Andrew J. Dolby
Chairman; J. R. Cannon, Secretary,
This being in the center of the
county and between two towns, would
be used by both Seaford and Bridge
Vile, and / would think would be used
more than any other road across the
country and costing the county less
money Bridgeville is asking for the
road and Seaford also, and the peonle
OF both towns have been asked to at
tend the meetings held in Cannon
weekly. There was a very interesting
talk by VIM. E. Valiant, of Laurel,
regarding state highway and an inter
esting talk by Brooks L. Ross, of Sea
lord, concerning the cross county
road leading from Georgetown by the
way OF Cannon and thence to the
Maryland line. Mr.. Ross said that
both Seaford and Bridgeville want the
improved road and it seems impos-
iible for both towns to get it, but he
ind many of the Seaford people are
Wiling for the road to go through as
t would be benefit for both towns
md thus save hard feelings perhaps.
I Seaford does not get a road and
'rldgeYllle does try they will fight il |
finish for said road to go through |
'annon instead of Bridgeville. The |
ommittee invites everybody to be |
resent at the next meeting on Friday /
vening, Feb. 1st."

HAVE YOUR SEED CORN TESTED

In our efforts to produce in 1918 as
large a crop of corn as possible moth
/ ing should be left undone that will
! insure success. The grower should
be positive that his seed will germin-
ate strongly. A careful examination
of all seed corn should be made at an
early date. Owing to the cool. wet
fall corn did not mature thoroughly
before freezing weather. The ex-
tremely low temperature Of the past
few weeks has probably injured the
vitality of corn that was not thor
oughly dried out. The only way to
determine whether corn has been in
jured or not is to make a termination
test.
In order to aid in this work the De-
partment of AgrOnomy of the Della
ware Experiment Station will make a
termination test free of charge TO any
farmer in the State.
The sample for testing should con-
sist Of two or three hundred kernels
from about fifty ears of corn, that is,
four or five kernels from each ear.
The kernels should be taken from the
ears you intend to use for seed, no
matter under what conditions they
have been stored. If you have not Sc
lected your seed ears take the sam
Piles from the crib or stock of corn !
you will probably use for seed.
A report will be sent to you as soon /
as the test is completed, together with /
suggestions if necessary.
The samples, accompanied by the
name and address of the sender
should be sent by parcel post TO Prof
E. Grantham, Newark. Delaware.

istence of all power, for government
al power which has no sanction to It
and which therefore can only be eX-
erciced provided the citizen consents
to it's exertion is in no substantial
sense a power.
1t is agreed, however, although this
is abstractly true, it is not Concretely
so because as compelled military SER
vice is repunEnant to Il free govern
ment and in conflict with all the great
guarantees of the constitution as to
individual liberty, it must be assum-
ed that the authority to raise armies
was intended to be limited to the right
to call an army into existence count
ing alone upon the willingness Of the
citizen to do his duty in time OF pub
lie need. that is, in time of war. But
the premise of this proposition is so
devoid Of foundation that it leaves
not even a shadow of ground upon
which to base the conclusion
1T remains only to consider cOnten-
tons which while not disputing power,
challenge the act because of the re
pugnanCy to the constitution supposed
to result from some Of its provisions.
First we are of opinion that the con-
teention that the act is void as a dele
CATION of federal power to state Off
Gals because of its administrative
features is too wanting in merit 10 re-
quire further notice.
Second, we think that the conten-
ton that the statute is void because
vesting administrative officers with
legislative discretion has been so com
pletely adversely settled as to require
reference only to some OF the decided
case. A like conclusion also adverse
ly disposes of a similar claim concern
ing the comforting of judicial power.
And we pass without anything but
statement the proposition that an es-
tablishment of a religion or an inter
ference with the free exercise there
of repugnant to the first amendment
resulted from the exemption clauses
of the act to which We at the outset
referred because we think its unsound-
ness to apparent TO require us to do
more"
