ties comprising the Fifth district, and
General England is counted as guber-
material candidate himself But, in the
event that General England should de-
eide not to make the race for governor
and stand as candidate to succeed
himself, the Cooper people say that
the field, so far as the Fifth district Is
concerned, being then clear for the
Bramwell man, he would carry it by
10000 majority in the. primary against
any outsider. With this ultimate end
in view-this ultimate hope - they
justify the thorough organizing work
that has been done in the Fifth to line
up party sentiment to q maximum de-
gree for the Mercer county aspirant.
From Washington, Mr., Cooper will
motor to Atlantic City for few days,
before starting the return journey to
his home. From there he will start
for a trip up state, expecting to make
brief visits to Wheeling, Morgantown,
Fairmont, Clarksburg, Parkersburg and
other important centers. He has al
ready visited Charleston and Hunting
ton and started his friends to work. At
the last named city, he delivered
speech at a patriotic celebration, and
at Bluetield on Labor Day, he con-
tributed an address to the success Of
that holiday festival there.
While here, Mr.. Cooper called on
both Senators Sutherland and Elkins
and, 1t is naturally presumed, that his
candidacy was discussed freely, al
though, Of course, no confirmation OF
that ha scome from either OF the three
concerns. He also paid his respects"
TO Representatives Bowers, Echols,
Reed and woodward at their offices,
and spent some hours mingling with
old friends on the House floor and in
the Republican cloakrooms. He has
been very busy man since his ar
rival, and lot of party men who cut a
figure in West Virginia politics have
called upon him at his hotel. Accord
ing to the tenor of the talk among
them. the Cooper mission, If such it
may be called, to Washington has
been quite successful.
Somehow the impression seems to
have started and gained ground hers
that as a result of Mr.. Cooper's visit
there is to be more activity in the gu
bernatorial preparations for the next
in West Virginia than there
has been at any time up till now.
However, it should be remembered
that there has been no change in the
lineup yet, from what is has been,
The so-called "avowed" candidates to
the public mind are; Cooper, England,
Darst and Montgomery, with no at
tempt here made to list the numer-
Gus probabilities" and prominently
mentioned"

1t is all right about that alleged mil
lion dollars worth OF cotton lying out
in the open at the government powder
plant at Nitro, W. Va.
Yep, it is all right. The Chief Of
Ordnance, U. S. A. today informed SEN
ator Davis Elkins to that effect, He
said that the cotton at Nitro is known
as cotton linters" and that storage in
the open is looked upon as proper
storage for this class of material.
This is just the reverse of the way
that the folks in and about Nitro
looked upon" 1t. They regarded it as
wanton waste and criminal neglect Of
valuable government property. Many
Of them believed that it was evidence
of conspiracy to maintain the market
price OF cotton. There were complaints
from them to officials here too numer-
GUS to count. Aftidavits and photo
graphs by the score were sent in. 1t
mas been a matter for bitter criticism
for many months.
Senator Elkins went down to the
War department to see about it today.
And they told him what is stated above.
He returned to his office Informed but
unenlightened," as he expressed 1t, and
proceeded to have all available author
tiles on cotton linters" brought to
him. The result Of his study, he hopes,
may clear away his doubts and sus-
picions.

For progressive Legislation, the
present Town Council of Smyrna has
taken more advanced interest in pub
lie affairs than any administration Of
recent years. The travelling public is
already enjoying good streets, the
best Smyrna ever had. Soon, the
public will be enjoying the advantages
of electricity, completely rehabilitated
and standardized, with continuous
service night and day, and with cur
rent available for power as well.
Town Council is sparing no expense
to modernize the Smyrna Light Plant
in every particular. A fine new equip
ment throughout is being installed
and when completed, no town in the
State will have a better or more up
to-date system. Surely, Smyrna was
never more wide awake to the adj
vantages of its public utilities than
now.

Report come to US of the bad con-
dition of the property and surround
ings of Bayview School House, near
Smyrna. The unsanitary condition has
been called to the attention of Kent
County School Board, but nothing
done. If such conditions exist, no
wonder the farmers of that vicinity
are kicking over the school code and
increased taxes. We favor the School
Code. It's the biggest step ever taken
in Delaware for the education of our
children. While not a perfect law,
its aims and ideals are high. The
rough places and kinks can be
smoothed out when another Legisla-
ture meets. We want to see the law
given a full and fair trial, but the
farmers who protest against such con-
ditions as above named, are perfectly
justified in their opposition. The
County Board of Education should see
to it that all school buildings are es-
pecially kept clean and sanitary. In
the case of Bayview, such condition of
affairs does not tend to placate the
farmers toward the Code. They are
slow to fall in sympathy with the new
school law at best, and it behooves
the county school authorities to do
everything possible to keep the little
county school houses in as good con-
dition as possible or until something
better can be furnished.
