political situation and comment in &
cOndense way on the many things
which he believes will come before
the incoming legislature for discus
sion and final action? The liquor
question will not down and the dry
forces will have one of the hardest
battles in their existence to combat
the onslaughts which the wet ele-
ment will make backed by the mil
lions of money, at their command
Perhaps the drys would make a bet
ter showing if they would change
the personal of their leaders, and
turn the command over to some sea-
sOned politicians of the old school,
such as Judge Boyce and others of
equal mental caIiber, who are falnll-
lar with the work required to win
in political contest. Preachers as
a general rule don't make good lead
ers, and often lose out by being too
radical in their make up. AS there is
a scarcity of preachers in some de-
nominations, perhaps they could do
more good by returning to the pull
pit.
The vets will be guided by such
men as Senator Bayard, Pierre S. du
Pont and others who stand high as
to ability and character. The large
meeting which was held in Whining
ton a few days ago by the vets
shows conclusively that they have
come out in the open and will fight
the battle to a finish. 1t will be a
hard contest. We believe if the cam
paign for the drys is rightly con-
Quoted they will win, and the pres
ent laws for the enforcement of pro-
hibitiOn will remain in full force.
Another important question which
will come before our Senators and
Representative is the plan of
Pierre S. du POnt for the building
and rebuilding of the school houses
where needed in the state. We feel
quite sure if our people knew as
much about this plan before the
meeting of the last legislature as
they do now, it would be in full
force at the present time. Glendale
is in need of a new school building.
The present structure is out of date,
unsanitary and hardly safe, especial
ly the rooms on the second floor. We
hope the du Pont plan will be in
cOrporated in one of the first bills
presented to the next legislature,
and passed without a dissenting
vote.
Another question of great impor-
tance which should engage the ser
ious atepti"1 of our legislators is
the transfer of the dirt roads of the
three counties from the control Of
the Levy Court to the jurisdiction of
the State Highway Commission, We
all know the condition the dirt roads
have been in this winter. We also
know that thousands of dollars are
wasted each year by placing the dirt
roads under the control of incompe-
tent men, many who are appointed
to these important positions for po-
litical reasons alone. What is need
ed is men who have been trained in
the building of roads and we feel
sure under the care of Engineer
Buck and his corps of assistants the |
roads in question will receive atten-
ton when needed and put in prime |
condition at a cost to the tax pay |
ers of the state much less than we
are now paying. We want the far
mers to think about these things be-
fore casting their votes this fall.
When the political campaign Op-
ems and the different measures
which will be presented to the peO-
pie for their approval becomes
known, the writer may not only Gis-
cuss at greater length the questions
in this letter but others
as well.
We are glad to learn that Hon.
Andrew J. Lynch, a very prominent
lawyer of Georgetown, had success
fully passed through a very severe
operation at one OF the hospitals in
Philadelphia and would be able in
lew days to return to his home and
resume his practice. Mr.. Lynch is a
inc fellow and a friend of the writ
Il, who admiyes him for his sterling
qualities, even if lie is a'bit radical
n some of dis views which he eX-
presses throI Ugh the columns Of the
,aper of which he is editor.
