DOVER. Dec. 3O.--Antlclpating the
meeting OF the General Assembly early
in January, Governor Townsend has
been at his desk in the capitol building
going over the reports OF the various
boards and commissioners, in prepara-
ton OF his message to the General AS
sembly.
While the Governor gave no intima-
tlon OF any specific recommendations
that he would make to the Legislature,
he was very OutspOken on the policy
that he would advocate.
Being a business man." he said. Il
naturally see all public affair from that
point Of view Administration of public
affairs can and should be conducted
with the same attention, by the same
methods and with the same degree OF
efficiency as private affairs. Our gov
ernment in Delaware is simply busi-
ness proposition and when so viewed
we shall render better service at re-
duced cost
"A business session will gain the con-
fldence Of the people. First. IL will re-
duce costs. II will ward of m con-
ceived reforms and IL will at the same
time be good polltics-all OF which ap-
peals not only to me but to the public
at large. To be specific, should like to
see a speedy organization OF the body.
The committees should be named at
once instead OF after the usual delay.
Then as a business proposition 1t Is
reasonable TO expect clerical force
chosen for ability and efficiency first
and not by political favOrltIsm, alone.
In that connection, believe one att0r-
ney with power Of securing assistance
when necessary would be good busi-
ness. The responsib lity for the legal
work would be placed In one head rath-
er than dividing which is always bad.
No bushes man would think Of dividing
such serious responsibility. This IS
contrary TO precedent Of recent years,
but it Is, / believe, worthy Of eonsid-
Grafton.
Il should also like to see the session
meet and decide at once on the day Of
adjournment. The work can be done
as well, and, suspect better, in 50 days
than in 90 days. A resolution setting
the date Of adjournment at GO days
would inspire confidence in the minds
OF the public and would force those in
berested in legislation to bring their
problems before us at once.
III will be a session Of recOnstruc-
ton with serious problems at hand.
with hearings Of delegations in the
evening, committee meetings in the
mornings and sessions uninterrupted in
tho nffpruoon we ean disuafch the work
necessary. without delay or increased
cost The train service under present
schedules will make this almost i'm
perative. Plain, practical business IL
lustrated by business methods will be
the basis Of every policy and recon-
mendation TO the General Assembly"

was chosen by the pirates and cut
throats.
Everyone knows the story Of our
own flag, with the thirteen stripes that
signify the thirteen original states Of
our Union, and the stars, one for each
State in the union today. Our flag was
made when the wise fathers of our ma
ton decreed that this should be a
union Of sovereign states and that no
kingly crown or imperial eagle should
appear or our banners.
|, This Flag day it will float from the
STATS Of q million American homes,
perhaps from ten million or twenty
million, but its greatest glory-the
greatest glory of its 40 years-is that
it will float In the breezes of France
and Flanders beside the flags of Bel
GUM, France and Great Britain, and
on the seven seas of the world, In the
worlds greatest combat against au-
tocratic brutality. No longer the flag
Of a group of colonies, Old Glory has
become the banner of a world power,
the emblem Of the mightiest free people
that ever existed.
From generation to generation, since
Old Glory was born, flags have died,
but Old Glory has had new birth. The
white flag Of royal France and the
standard of Napoleon have given way
to the ~tricolor. but Old Glory still
waves From generation to generation
our flag is born anew, recreated In our
hearts, ever better loved and more
sacred in our eyes, because 1t is the
Gag for which our heroes have died
and because 1t is the symbol of the
only government that a endure-a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people. 1t Is the
flag of no king or car or emperor, but
your flag and my flag and the flag Of
the brave boy who has gone with a
song on his lips to die that we may re-
main free. Earth has no greater glory
today than Old GLORY.
