Assembly Governor Robinson
strikes happy balance, says the
Morning News. It is marked by
a sane conservatism mingled
with a sensible progressiveism.
Delaware is not to lag, not to
lose anything it has gained.
"At the same time the State,
as the governor looks at it, is not
to venture into unknown seas, or
go beyond its income. The State
is amply able to afford certain
things, according to our financial
showing, and these improve
ments therefore will probably be
made.
'The governor notes the large
surplus, almost S6,OOO,OOO, in
the State treasury, and approves
the proposal to devote S2,000,-
900 Of that surplus to a school
building program for the next
two years. This does not mean
that the State will go further
into debt. That new buildings
are needed here and there goes
without question, as a careful
survey shows. During the last
few years Delaware has gone
ahead wonderfully in its schools,
coming from behind to the front
or near the front, all things con-
sidered. Hence rational i'm
provement, if the advice Of Gov
ernor Robinson is taken, will be
continued. Governor Robinson
fully commends the States
highway department.
what a change Delaware has
made in her roads during the
last few years. When good road
building was started it was done
in a haphazard fashion, patch
here and there, depending upon
the influence Of the residents Of
this Oh that neighborhood.
Worse than that, after they
were constructed the roads were
either porly maintained or not
looked after at all. The failure
to maintain the roads meant a
heavy loss to the county. The
better plan is having all the
highways under the State.
''The State Highway police
are also praised, and rightly SO
for these officials are conscienti-
Gus and faithful in performing
duties, far from easy. The gov
ernor adheres to the party plat
form in approving the proposal
that the State at maturity take
over the county highway bonds.
Various agencies i'll the State
are commended, the governor
suggesting that the feasibility
Of building an ocean boulevard
from Lewes to the Maryland line
be investigated. The message,
on the whole, is admirable and
presents a good picture Of Della
ware which, as a State, should
be satisfied. There are many
reasons for congratulation when
the financial affairs Of Delaware
are considered.
"That surplus Of almost &c.
100000 shows soundness, with
about s3,OOO,OOO,OOO in the gen.
eral fund and a huge sum in the

Bisseroff are fervent advocates of the
sour or fermented milk, which is as
much a part of the daily diet in their
land as bread or tea and coffee are in
this country. But they have found
that Washingtonians do not. as a

made with culture placed in the
sweet, new unskimmed milk and set
aside until it becomes quite thick and
must be eaten with spoon. Several

Mr.. and Mrs William Dupont OF
Wilmington, Del. who some years
ago purchased the historic estate,
Montpelier, home of President Mad
ison, and who vainly have endeav
ored to change the place from the
Madison TO the Dupont estate, have in
many aspects all the rights on their
side if they wish to keep the place
private. Being of particularly retir-
ing and transformations temperament,
they resented the hordes of sight
seers who drove daily through the
grounds and dema nded admittance
into their home. The erection of Il
wall surrounding the estate and the
services of a watchman did not en-.
tirely relieve them of this embarrass-
ment. The motoring public. on the
other hand find Montpelier entered
on all hooks descriptive of historic
homes IN virginia, with no explanation
that visitors are never welcome unless
they are personal friends. 1t has been
suggested to Mr.. Dupont to appoint a
visiting day so often each month or
week, and have it entered in guide
books. But he does not care to have
his home invaded at any time, and so
the discomfort grows on his part and
on that of the public. His life is made
burden because of persistent sight
seers. and on their side because of
his refusal to submit them. Mont.
pelier, under the Duponts, has been
carefully restored. It's magnificent
garden of box is unrivaled on this
continent. Dolly Madisons flowers
still bloom in profusion, and the fine
old well head. brought from Italy by
an admirer of the fourth Chief Magis-
trate, is among the many curios which
attract visitors
