LIEUT.-GOvERNOR'S DEATH.
Leaves a Vacancy at Dover For Which
No Provision Is Made to Fill.

By the death of Lieutenant-Gover-
nor Lewis E. Eliason, which occurred
last Friday, following stroke OF pa
ralysis while attending meeting OF
the Pardon Board in Dover, an inter-
esting situation is created. By virtue
of his Office the Acknowledgements
was presiding officer of the Senate, a
member of the State Board OF Par
dons, and, in the event of the DEATH
resignation or removal of the COVER
nor, he would have assumed the Office
of governor. Being a Democrat,
should there have been during hls
lifetime a vacancy in the governors
Office, Lieutenant Governor Ehason
would have assumed charge OF the
States affairs. A Democrat taking
the place of a Republican. The death
of the acknowledgements creates a
vacancy to fill which no provision is
made. Thus in the event OF the deatn
of the governor, the secretary OF
State would become governor. In the
event of the resignation, etc., Oh tne
secretary of State, the attorney-gen-
eral would become governor. In tne
event of death, removal etc., OF the
encouragement, the speaker OF the
senate would become governor, ana IL
the event of his death, resignation
ETC., the speaker of the House woulo
provision for filling the governor
Office beyond this. Mr.. Eliason was
the only Democratic State officer.

shell the night fighting efficiency Of
the navy will be increased at least 25
per cent, the war department has said
In an Official statement. The smell is
suitable for guns of from thres to FIVE

that it's increased Illuminating power

Finding the tomato market so dull
that no orders for the 1919 pack have
thus far been received, some up-coun-
try Gamers are planning to reduce
their tomato pack to one-half of the
output of previous seasons. The corn
pack is also a doubtful one among
the Gamers, and while they have con-
tracted for 35 acres of sugar corn,
they say they are facing a dilema
as the jobbers in canned products are
equally as loathe to place any orders
for corn as they are in giving ad-
vance orders for the tomato output.

Fruit and vegetable growers of
lower New Castle county are of the
opinion that the recent cold spell Sc
verely nipped some of the early crops.
Many fear that the sudden drop in
temperature has cost them their en-
tire fruit crop as buds were very gen.
orally nipped. The peach and straw
berry growers are probably the heav-
lest losers.

LOYALTY WITHOUT WIND.

True loyalty does not consist of getting out in public
and shouting to the winds of the pores of country
and how we can lick the ord with our hands tied behind
us.
We have few such patriots" but they have set
the world afre and we expect to see them fight
ing for their country When bullets singing and shells
shrekng, such patriots usually found ndustriousy
fishing in fnacia waters far to the rear. ,
What we need is patriotism that mpels a man to love
his country for what it is and for what it has done for
himself and for the rest of mankind. When man is i'm
bued with this brand of loyalty he will give life itself
for his country when the need arises and he will have no
self plaudits to hur at his fellow men in gorfcaon Of
his own acts He will not dispense wind
We have many such true patriots right in our midst but
they quietly pursuing their daily routine hoping and
praying that may steer the ship of satte safely
through the roubous waters without loss of honor or of
dignity.
Today they simply loyal citizens of the republic
Yesterday they were and they be- heroes who
have fought and bled for their country.

PHILOSOPHY
BY Edgar A. Guest.

"This is mighty world you're in
An so don't spread yourself too
thin"
My wise old father used TO say,
Just do your best from day to day;
Make sure of everything you touch
But never undertake too much.
Remember as you go along
To sing a cheerful snatch of song
But be content f few
Into their hearts shall welcome you.
Life has it's taske both great and
small,
But no one man can do them ALL
It's settled by a natural law
How much willing horse can draw,
And if beyond his strength he tries
A failure, broken down, he dies.
Some men neglect the little things
To seek the prize which greatness
brings
And miss the goal, and in the end
Find they have lost the nearby
friend.
No man, however wise and strong,
Can bear the burdens of the throng,
Who seeks to serve too many here
Brings no happiness and cheer,
And this is also truth | tell,
Who tries too much does nothing
WELL.
God has assigned us certain tasks
And nothing more of us He asks.
He shall succeed by every test
Who does no more than just his best.
"This is mighty world you're in,
An so don't spread yourself too
thin"
Be good and brave and kind and true
And serve with faithfulness the few.
Be satisfied to earn the praise
Of those who follow in your ways,
If you bring happiness to them
You need not care what tongues con-
denim.
This is the test for every man
That he shall do the best he can.

The Bucket.

The Bucket
The day is approaching when booze
will be banished, the lights will go
out in the gilded saloons; the bar
tenders all from their posts will have
vanished, alnog with the jugs and the
brazen spittoons. Alas for the soak
and the bum and the drifter The
tale of their anguish no poet can tell;
they'll hit when they long for a four
fingered snifter, the old oaken bucket
that hangs in the well. The old oak
en- bucket has been a back number,
it slept with the has-beens for long
weary years; but now it comes back
from its cobwebby slumber, consol-
ing the boys in the absence of beers.
Doom faces Old Booze, he can't
dodge it or duck it, the sections pre-
pairing to ring out his knell; and so
we get back to the trusty old buck
ct, the moss covered bucket that
hangs in the well. l stand with the
poet who boosted the bucket, who
said that it struck him as finer than
silk; we've long chung to whiskey but
now we'll chuck it, and sample such
liquids as water and milk. Oh, then
we'll be clipper and blithe in the
morning, as gay as kitten, as sound
as bell; the wiles of the bootlegger
manfully scorning, we'll hit the old
bucket that hangs in the well.
