THE GOVERNOR-ELECT has announced the appoint
ment his Secretary of State General A R. Benson of
Dover and he certainly filled the important office
with credit to himself and the people. General Benson is
one of the people of Delaware fact in business in his
interests and political pride for everything which
touches the welfare Delaware 1t is useless to go into
detail of interest and long connection with the agr
culture He has to the people his ability to
produce from theory he breaches by practical farm
ing idle dreamer but practices real farming and
succeeds above the He is recogniz-
ed as practical man, and for that for many
years has the head of the Agricultural Depart
en of Delaware Endowed with good practical business
sense he knows how apply it. He is man of exper-
ience keen politician but fair and honorable in con-
tests for party there has been charge brought
against General Benson by his most bitter opponent
We believe that large interests Of the office which he
has been called direct for the next four years are in
safe hands for the people, well the party he has
so long had the honor to represent.

IT IS TIME for all towns and even the rural dis

to an alarming extent in the past few The cause
for this may found in the general use of gaso-

the smoking of cgarees-the most dangerous form in
which tobacco be made to contribute to the fire loss
of the country as halfburned cigarette thrown by
the wayside or rubbish pile will generally shoulder
