1t owes its superiority chiefly
to the perfected method of ,ire-

features which add to It's efficiency.
First, all the valve mechani sm

Automobile Fatalities.

Two automobile fatalities IN one day,
the victim in each instance being struck
and knocked down in the street by the
vehicle. constitute o somewhat appalling
record for our community. such accidents
have been too frequent, recently, and It Is
full time to give to the subject serious
consideration. with a view 70 devising
and enforcing effective remedy.
Ii IS undcniable that too many persons
are vcrv reckless in tho matter Of crossing
streets without taking due care and pre-
caution. not only in the middle Of blocks,
but at the crossings. The essential in this
matter il seeing that the way is clear be-
fore starting across, whether IN the middle
Of the block or at the crossing. Many
persons give no attention whatever % this
important matter,
Oh the other hand, there is notable
indifference on the part Of many drivers
Of motor vehicles to the rights Of pedestri-
ans at the crossings. They approach with
out anv diminution of speed, and apr
parently regardless Of whether persons are
crossing the street or not, except az places
where the traffic is regulated by an officer,
contcnting themselves with merely sound
ing warning blast Such reckless drivers
should bear in mind that pedestrians have
the right of way at crossings, and that
while Il i incumbent upon them to exercise
care and caution, it is even more 50 upon
drivers. The courts have SO decided, on
frequent occasions.
But something should be done to mini
rnize the danger We have too many au.

Phantom Democratic Troubles.

AS an offset TO their own factionai

Republican party organs-or rather lac
tion organs, as the Republican papers oil
the State are allied with one party lac
tion of the other at this time--are en-
deavoring To make il appear that oes-
perate factional struggle in the Demo-
cratic party is now imminent. ihes
endeavor to console themselves, to deceive
themselves. in fact. with the belief that
the possible aspirations of various prom
inent Democrats to the position oil Deia-
ware member of the Democratic Nationai
Committee, or to be delegates to the
Democratic National Convention, VIII
split the party into Mt least two hostile
factions, each so intent upon victory ms
to be willing to defeat the entire party
rather than permit the other faction TO
win.
Well, there may be contests for these
positions. II would hardly be an indlca-
tion of virile, fighting Democratic party
organization if there were none, unless
this condition Of no contests should be
brought about by previous amlcable ar
rangemcnt Such contests are naturalin all
political parties, and i'll the Democratic
party of Delaware the course of procedure
is to settle them by fair trials OF strength
at Democratic primaries.
The Democratic voters OF Delaware
on Saturday, May %, will elect delegates
to the Democratic State Convention
which will assemble at Dover ON Tues

choose SIX delegates 10 the Democratic
National Convention, and in accord with
long-sustained custom, each county cau-

How good it Is when comes the hour

A strangers smile is good TO see, but

The richest joys of earth are found always

There comes the time when senes afar;
will lose their l,tster and their thrill
You'll want the old-familiar street, the
sitting room, where all Is still,
The faces OF the friends you love, the
children romping Mt their play.
And YOU will hail with juy the time which
starts YOU on your homeward way.
IL matters not how fair the place to which
IN search Of peace YOU roam,
