THE HIGHWAY MENACE.
(From Every EYeningl

The arrest and punishment, few days ago. of a
truck driver who not only refused autOmobst who
was following him sufficient to pass but actually
endeaVored to crowd the driver the automobile in
ditch was well deserved and should be to others
who apparently fail to realize that the privileges of the
public highways not vested exclusively with drivers
OF heavy trucks any other vehicles for that matter
Automobiles report this disposition on the part of
truck drivers real menace" the highways today
There also drivers of automobile pleasure cars who
lacking in the usual couresies the road but their
number is fortunately limited They entitled to no
more consideration than the drivers of heavy trucks
should be punished with equal promptness But seems
that drivers of heavy trucks this sort of
thing more particularly and the practice should broken
up without delay
Every sensible motOrist is disposed to give heavy
truck plenty of for his safety for no other
reason and the truck driver in many cases seems in
cned to take advantage of this any plunge along the
highway with little consideration those who
pass one the other 1t will be disputed it is
the heavy trucks which wearing down good high
ways, and seems to there should be special
regulations regarding their We believe the
time is near when there will be legislation in this
nection.
The traffic problem our public highways is one of
the real problems of today The driver of every
vehicle should be with the couresies the
road. The Safety First sign might well be put the
front of And certainly drivers of heavy trucks
should be taught to be especially careful in the observance
of highway regulations.

DEMOCRATS SACRIFICED THE FARMER

The boast of Mr.. Gompers that there has been no
substantial reduction in the scale OF wartime wages
paid industry will occasion some timely rehecton IN
the prosperity of the earnersn the prosperity OF
any cass-the whole country will rejoice provided that
prosperity has not been accomplished at the expense Oh
some class against which undue advantage mas
been taken this connection is worth while to re-
view some record of the Democratic Party which
is now seeking to return to through election OF
Senators and Congressman in November.
In the latter part 1919 the railroad brotherhoods
were demanding increase in wages and threatened
to tie up railroads tight they will never run again.
unless the demands granted. President Wilson
pleaded with to call strike and promised
that if they would defer action all the power of the gov
would be exered to reduce the cost of living
Immediately after that promise made, the Demo-
cratic administration started its campaign to cut the
prices of farm produce, which make large part Of
the cost living of the railroad workman The defaton
program got started in July 1920, and before the
harvest of that year completed the bottom was
knocked out Of prices of gran livestock and other farm
products Hundreds of thousands of farmers were COM
PEELED sell their at far less than it cost to pro-
duce them They still paying wartime wages for
and wartime prices for machinery and supplies
They sacrificed in order that the Democratic Presi-
might keep his promise to exert all the of the
government to reduce the cost Of living.
Nor that all. The defation of the farmer meant
tremendous reduction in buying and what called the
buyers strike hit the retail merchants who had their
shelves filled with goods bought at wartime prices Many
merchant took losses that wiped out practically all the
profits of his war trade
At the same time that these losses were being
tanned by the farmers and merchants every holder of
stocks bonds suffered loss through depreciation of
his securities glance market prices reported in
the daily press shows the fall in market values
of securities in 192O-1921.
If it be true as Mr. Gompers boasts that there has
been no substantial from wartime wages
employed industry that class of citizens has been
specially favored cless. AS remarked before,
begrudge anyone else prosperity unless enjoyed at
the expense of Others The Democratic administration
always arrayng class against class turned all the
the against the farmer the merchant and
the security holder.
This is that will not be overlooked by all those
voters believe in equality under the law and under
governmental administration They will keep in mind
notwithstanding the pleas of the Democratic campaigners
between now and November l.

September goth, 1922.
To the Editor of the Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir:-On Monday night last,
was unfortunate enough to have a fire
in my home. After some difficulty with
the telephone connections, got word
to the Carlisle Fire Company and in
a very short time they responded to
my call. desire to express through
this paper my thanks for the efficient
assistance which they rendered me.
The members Of the Carlisle Fire Co.
will always have warm spot in my
heart. When you take into considera-
tion the fact that live twelve miles
from Milford and the roads are very
bad, feel that the courtesy shown
me in coming this distance should be
appreciated all the more. While my
house was not saved, due to the fact
that it was practically gone when the
fire company reached the same, yet
because of their presence, I did have
some of my buildings left. Again,
wish to extend my thanks through this
newspaper to the Carlisle Fire Com
pany.
Very truly yours,
ROLAND F. BEAUCHANIP.
