OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(By National Editorial Association
Especial to Chronicle)

Washington, December 9.-Con-
gress is in session. Therefore, Of
fetal Washington is beginning its
busy season. Already the legisla-
tive hopper is cluttered up with pro-
posed bills, few of which will re-
ceive serious consideration. There
are approximately one hundred
new congressman and about ten
new senators learning the ropes in
order that they may function effect
lively without delay.
The Sixty-ninth Congress opened
somewhat differently from the pre-
vious sessions. Newcomers to the
House and Senate seeking places on
important committees and their
share of political patronage, showed
unmistakable evidence that they in
tended to follow their party leaders.
Of course, there were some excep-
tions in the small group known as
the insurgents" The real leader
ship in the Congress these days is
vested in the committee chairmen
more than in a selected group or

NEVER PERHAPS have the rela-
tive and interlocking interests of
government and business been more
concretely and concisely defined by
one speaking with authority than in
the address delivered by President
Coolidge at the annual banquet of
New York Chamber of Commerce.
"It is notorious" he said, "that
where government is bad, business
is bad" That in itself is justification
for business taking a lively interest
in government. 1t is equally motor
ious that when business conditions
are demoralized, when production
and distribution have ceased to func-
ton efficiently, there is widespread
unrest and government itself is in
secure. That is justification for
the executive and legislative depart
ments of the government taking a
lively interest in business. Business
cannot exist without government;
and government cannot exist with
out business. They must stand or
fall together.

A JUDGE in Portland, Oregon, i'm
posed a fine of $500 on man for
cruelty to animals. In this case a
man had dragged a collie dog to
death behind his automobile. That
Judge was absolutely right and such
a sentence imposed on human beasts
in Delaware, for cruelty to dumb
animals would soon bring a general
understanding, that even a dumb
brute has a right to be killed with

WREN A MERCHANT presents
an advertisement in newspaper
for your information, he places him
self on record as having something
of value which he wishes you to
see and buy. He says in effect,
"here is my printed word that the
merchandise is here, and that it is
as represented" He is unafraid to
give this statement, for he believes
in his merchandise and is willing to
stand behind his wares. For that
reason it is to your advantage to
patronize the store or business
house which is a consistent adver-
tiser. The store which advertises
regularly is the one which is bet
ter able to give lower prices. The
increased volume of business which
his advertising brings to him, guar
antees this saving to you. Have
you ever looked at it in this light?
A careful study of the advertise
ments presented each week in the
Milford Chronicle will give you a
good idea as to where to buy safely
and satisfactorily The merchants
are now telling you what they have
to offer, and you will do well to pa
tronize those who are not afraid to |
take you into their confidence. Buy
from those who show you that they
desire and value your patronage

IT IS REPORTED that New Eng
land home owners are taking to
heart the recurrence of coal strike
conditions and are turning to oil and
gas as logical substitutes for heating
homes. A big gain in installation of
oil and gas burners is noted this
fall. The people are satisfied that
they need fear no shortage of these
fuels and are becoming educated to
their convenience. They needed
only the certainty of failure ofagree-
ment between miners and operators
to cause them to convert their fur
naces from coal to oil or gas.

MILFORD, FRIDAY, DEC II, 1925.

RUMORS HAVE BEEN FLOAT
ING about in the northern part of
the state to the effect that project
is on foot to light the du Pont Bou-
levard from the Pennsylvania line in
the north to the Maryland line in
the south. Inquiry from those in
official position who should know
whether such plans are in process
of formulation, have brought forth
denial that anything of the kind is
contemplated for the very near fu-
ture at least. If there are private
individuals in the State who desire
to install an Illuminating system,
and finance the continuous operation
of the lamps once they are in Oper-
alton, we can see no reason why
such a project should not be under
taken; but, if at any future date
plan should be offered whereby the
system may be installed by private
gift, with a provision for state
maintenance and operation, that is
a question that should be carefully
considered before the common
wealth saddles itself with the
scheme. A great white way extend
ing the entire length of our little
State is a wonderful vision, and an
ideal venture-if the scheme is f.
nanced so that the taxpayers will
not have to bear the burden of Op-
Grafton and maintainence; but at
the present time, or in the very
near future, the finances of the
State of Delaware will not allow
of the consumation of such ven
ture. That the State Highway De-
partment is not fathering such a
scheme at this time is evident by |
an examination of it's budget as
adopted for 1926. No item calling
for an expenditure of State monies
for any lighting plan is shown
therein Chief Engineer Buck is
quoted as having said that no such
scheme has been discussed by his

AS INVESTIGATION into the
shooting of Gordon Riley Of Har-
rington progresses, the State Po-
lice and Attorney Generals office
are securing evidence which is
said to lead to the presence Of an
automobile stealing ring of large
proportions. Clarence Graham, al
legged slayer of Riley, is being open
ly accused of having been a member
of thish gang Automobile engines,
blocks and parts from stolen cars
have been found in mill-ponds in
both Delaware and Maryland. Co.
operating with the Delaware Po-
lice, the Maryland State Highway
Police are said to have unearthed
evidence pointing to the existence
of the ring in both states. During
the past few months automobiles
have been stolen at frequent inter-
walls from the western part of Sus-
sex County and from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland. The present in
vestigation would seem to be in a
way to clear up the mystery of the
cars. While the authorities
are not making public the result of |
their Investigations at this time, ru-
mors being circulated say that
many men of prominence will be
brought into the trouble before it
is finally settled. Whether this is
true or not, the present activities
Of he State Police will have a good
effect and will discourage the steal
ing of cars in Delaware.

NO DRIVER of a vehicle and more
especially no driver of an automo
bile, should ever cross a railroad
or interurban track without frs
looking in both directions to deter
mine whether a train is approach
ing.
Where there are two or more
tracks, never start across after a
train has passed without waiting tc
see whether another train is ap-
preaching on another track. Lei
the first train get by at least 500
feet. If necessary to shift gears,
do so not less than so feet before
reaching track. lest auto stalls on
the track
AT crossings protected by flag
man, gates, bells or wig-wag, never
attempt to cross while flagman is
on the crossing. or gates are low
cred or bells or wig-wags are in ac-
ton, for this means that train is
closely approaching.
These are a few suggestions to
drivers which occasion no incon-
venience, and which if observed will
prevent accidents at grade cross
ings, for a grade crossing is only
dangerous when made so by care
less driving. In fact, the danger is
in the driving, not in the crossing.

IF AUTO insurance to protect the
public is so good a thing that one
believes the state should undertake
the insurance, why not go on and
have the state build and sell and re-
pair the car also, sell spare parts
and do the painting. An insurance
policy on every car to protect the
public may be a fair requirement.
But that does not establish a pre-
sumption that because the state re-
quires such a policy it should also
furnish the insurance or repair au-
tomobiles. The state is formed for
doing the social, collective things
that the individual cannot do. 1t is
not properly a seller of commodi-
ties OF services. 1t should not go
into business and rob one or many
of their chances to develop indus
tries. However desirable insurance
may be selling insurance is no
more a proper function of govern
ment than the printing of newspap-
ers, the shoeing of horses or the sell
ling of automobile tires. No man
with a job, or a home, or farm, ior
a business of his own, wants the
to step into the indus
rial field.

OWNERS OF AUTOMOBILES
should secure their license tags ard
operators licenses now, before the
last minute rush is on at the Secre-
tary of States office in Dover. BY
making application at this time you
are not only saving inconvenience
and possible delay in securing your
licenses, but you are also aiding
the force in the automobile depart
ment in their labors. The business
of handling these licenses, together
with the proper titling of automo-
biles, has grown by leaps and
bounds during the past few years.
Just few years ago the total reg
istration of cars in the entire State
was less than 5000; now the Ii
censed cars in Delaware over-top
the $4,000 mark. To properly Ii
cense these cars and see that cards
are issued correctly and with as
little delay as possible, is indeed a
job BY anticipating your needs
and making application now, you
are safeguarding yourself against |
error in the last minute rush; for
error will creep in, even in the
best regulated business-and the
automobile department is in that
class. Don't blame the Secretary of
States office if delay is caused
your Ow p hardness. !
