by the defeat of the State wide
school building plan their feelings
toward the six senators who accom-
plished this work will not be very
pleasant. We don't know what kind
of an influence was brought to beal
on these men to cause them to act
as they did. If factiOnal or partisan
politics had anything to do with the
stand which they took, then they
should never be permitted to assume
public Office again. (The writer may
be broad in his views, but believes
that any man who is not patriotic
enough to rise above petty politics
when the good of the State is at
stake is totally unfit to hold public
Office of any kind.l We think Mr..
dupont offered everything which
would have safeguarded the State
from any loss whatever and which
should have satisfied any man or set
of men of the purity of his motives,
in Offering the oil. His great gifts
- school houses and money (run-
tniug into millions) for educational
purposes goes far to prove his sin
ceritv of purpose and his only aim to
be TO give to the children of Della
ware the best to be had from an
educational standpoint. 1t seems the
main excuse presented by the oppO-
nents of the measure was that a
bill 50 important as the proposed
school act shna,u frs: DC submitted
tn a vote of the people of the State
before becoming law. Suppose we
acouiesce in the demands of these
men and make It an issue in the
campaign two years hence. If any Of
the six senators in question are hold
Cve4s, let them resign their posi-
lions and seek reelection at the
hands of the voters. We believe that
when the people have time to con-
slider and dissect the great offer of
MIR. dupont they will mete out to
these men more of the referendum
than they can possibly want.
If the people of Milton and Ellen
dale wish to accomplish anything
this year toward building stone
road connecting the two towns, they
had better get busy and let their
wants be known, both to the State
Highway Commission and the Levy
will be gained by pursuing a course |
of inactivity but on the other hand
these favors are only won by unit
ed effort on the part OF those VINO |
are mostly interested. We believe if |
the citizens living on the line of this |
road will get together and send
strong delegations to present their |
cause before the proper authorities,
success will crown their efforts.
Let's get busy.
If the county engineer Will take a
ride over the public road Leading
from Glendale to Slaughter Beach,
he will conclude It needs improve
ment. This will soon be an impor-
tant road as the residents of Ellen
dale and vicinity use this highway
to and from the beach during the
summer months. 1t should be look
ed after at once and put in first class
condition.
