They're right.

That Solid South Again.

Mr. Harding holds out to the voters OF
the Southern States the great dement's

they 10 break the Solid South and come

LABOR LEADERSHIP.

President Wilson's telegram OF COM
mendation to President John l.. Lewis,
of the United Mine Workers, expressing
qualification at the latter's action IN order

is fully justified by the promptness and
earnestness with which the labor leader
accepted the Presidents suggestion. 1t

and prescience."
Reports show that some OF the strikers

of their organization and remain on strike,
but the majority of them are again ct
work producing the coal that IS so greatly
needed bv the nation. Toward those
obstinate and recaleitrapt members Mr..
Lewis is exhibiting warranted Indignation,
as is expressed in his message to President
Howat of the Kansas miners, radical
leader whose course is bringing him and
his followers into conflict with the law.
Demagogues constitute the dangerous
element in the labor movement Iust as
they do in politics, religion and other
branches Of activity. They ere the ones
who lead their unthinking fellows INTO

ton. brings unpleasant notorety TO our
CITY. And also II brings deserved censure'
as the conditions complained of have long
prevailed, and are the direct, inevitable
result of inef6ciency In county adninlstra-
tion. After all the work that has been done
in New Castle county during the past
quarter of a century, and the money ex-
pended. in providing good roads, 1t was
matter of shameful negligence to permit
such notorious deterioration to take place
The people well know where TO place
the blame, and they may soon have an
opportunity to inaugurate a reform. They
also are blamable for their selection OF
careless and incompetent members OF the
county administrative body, and there
fore are primarily responsible for the evil
results.
The people are deeply interested IN
good roads. and concerned on account OF
the large sums of their money that have
been and still are being expended upon
them. Let them resolve to choose the best
kind of caretakers for them hereafter
Let them resolutely turn down all the
selfish politicians, Republican and Demo-
crst. who seek membership in the Levy
Court TO promote personal ends. The
politicians have proved monumental fall
ures. And as there are plenty of good
business men available for the service, let
the people call upon them, at the prima-
ries and the election.

AptomobiIists and the Public.

The Delaware Safety Council reports
1o6 accidents of various kinds from July
Is to August /, and lists 33 OF the number
to automobiles, % Of which occurred in
this city. II very properly ascrlbes many
of the mishaps to the lack of care or pre-
caution of the victims themselves, and
LAYS stress on the fact that boys riding
bicycles in the streets indulge in much
effort TO harass and annoy drivers OF
motor cars and also pick out sections IN
the worst congested parts Of the city to do
fancy riding.
Everybody who has ridden in an auto
mobile through the streets must have OBJ
served that pedestrians are exceedingly
careless and instead Of watching their
steps at crossings. often give only the
slightest concern to their safety. The atti-
tude of the average man on the street Is
one of opposition toward the driver OF the
motor car, and he often will proceed slowly
and defantly or in a challenging mood,
even when in their paths. although the
cars may have the right of way.
The fact that there were so many mis-
haps here in two weeks is convincing proof
that the pedestrians are largely at fault,
entirely blamable in many such instances.
They seemingly forget there are more than
ten thousand motor cars and trucks IN TINS
city and that the streets are overtaxed at
the busy hours of the day. In consequence
of this condition, their progress afoot IL
much more hindered than il used to be,
and this condition is increasing all OF the
time.
Many pedestrians seem irritated TO the
point of indignation If they are compelled
TO wait n few moments at crossing, or II,
while they are passing 20 the other side oil

I seems like challenge to the persons whom
il is aimed to safeguard, and perhaps un-
consciously promotes feeling OF hpstlhty

The sentiment Of opposition that pre-

of appreciation Of the fact that the average
motor driver especially the owner Of inc
