IN TOO MANY instances the idea
is held that an individual is permit
ted to escape rendering obedience to
laws, because of their unwillingness
to accept such laws which run coun-
ter to their inclinations, or professed
belief, that such laws curtail their
individual privileges. They forget,
OF deliberately ignore the fact, that
a majority created the laws; or they
would not be the law of the land,
demanding enforcement and recog-
milton by all the people. 1t is well
for all to remember the words of
Theodore Roosevelt on this partic-
ular subject, when he said:
mo man is above the law and no
man is below it; nor do we ask any
mans permission when we require
him to obey it. Obedience to the law
is demanded as a right; not asked as
a favor"
If non-observance 'of the law is
permitted in favor of individuals or
institutions, then the whole fabric of
law falls and the right to enjoy
peace and property possession
ceases to exist. 1t must not be lost
sight of, that laws in themselves
have no power to control the law
breaker, and that it is only through
enforcement of laws by the govern
ment, the state, the town or COM
munity, that individual freedom can
be maintained. After all it is up to
the individual who sees, or is ia
miliar with the law breaking, to en-
force the laws. Police can not be
everywhere at one and the same
time, while some individual is al
ways present or aware of the Of
fense against the laws intended to
maintain individual rights within the
limits of law.

THE public schools in Delaware
will end the school year work with
this week, and the summer vacation
of three months begins. 1t is fine for
the boys and girls to enjoy this open
season for relaxation; but, parents
should direct their activities by sug-
gestions and plans for the summer
that will bring experience and train
ing of the mind for these sons and
daughters. Often a policy of this
kind will avoid mischief and mis-
takes. The two sexes should be to-
gether only under proper older peo-
pie for safeguards. Remember-these
Youngsters are just boys and girls,
innocent and in search of pleasure
and happiness. Help them to it, and
get your own reward by saving them
from mistakes, which would bring a
lowering of ideal standards. Youth,
vacation and happiness are to be
mixed in the cauldron of life with
its wonderful experiences, and it's
I'D to parents to make the summer
vacation period a bright spot in the
life of children.

MILFORD, FRIDAY. JUNE 8, 1927

SPECULATION runs riot as to
whether President Coolidge should
he a candidate for a third term. In
asmuch as he only had two years
and a. half on his first term his par
tisans continue to insist that me
didn't have any first term" Evident
ly the President is not particular on
the point at issue, and unless very
serious objection is raised by the
American public he will perhaps not
offer any dissent if the Republican
party insists that he continue as the
standard bearer.

ONE OF THE CHIEF BENEFITS
the farmer derives from really good
roads is that of being able to move
his farm products to market over
them, quickly, cheaply and without
inconvenience. The farmers crops
are his stock in trade. If he can
market them without delay when
the price is up, he is the gamer; IT,
because of bad roads, he is unable
tn get his products to market until
after the price has declined, he
loses.
In the old days when roads were
good only in good weather, the far
mer could do little satisfactory mar
keting. He was forced to take
chance on getting his products to
the buyer on a rising market.
One decided advantage in good
roads is that they encourage tile use
of motor vehicles by the farmer, eff
fecting a saving in time and worry
in moving his crops, and in getting
his family to church and children TO
school.
Many miles of poor roads which
act as feeders for main highways are
being made practical for modern
traffic at a minimum of expense, by
protecting the old base with water
proof wearing surface. Thus farm
land is made available for use, which
would otherwise be isolated due to
distance from schools and markets
and prohibitive cost of building
standard types of state highway
pavements.
The modern tractor and road ma
chinery plus the waterproofing quail !
tiles of asphalt are enabling hun |
dreds of communities to come out of
the mud.
Good roads are probably next in

Its every bit my fault, Cncle Dicky," Mary declared sturdily. T wanted to go for a walk in the park, and I persuaded Auntie Madge to come along"
 T guess she wasn't very hard to persuade" Dicky growled. but the anger had gone out of his voice, and Lillian winked triumphantly at me behind his back. I hurried them all to the breakfast table, and sec ended Lillian's nonsense through the meal, proceeding which grad ually cleared the mental atmosphere so thoroughly that when Dicky left for the office he was laughing and had assured Lillian that he would keep his evenings free from social appointments until she decided upon the date of the dinner she meant to give in honor Of my father. That was but a preteXt for the real ob- ject of the dinner. The introduction of Noel NeritZen to Mary was some- thing of which Lillian gave no hint to Dicky, and when she and l were alone together-for Katherine with Junior left with Mary immediately after Dicky's departure-she exe- cuted a triumphant dance step or two and then swept me an elaborate bow.
 "Therel That's settled she said. I've launched the dinner. Dicky will save time for it, and Mary hasn't the slightest idea that Noel will be invited, Hello. Whats on your mind? You'd better spill 1t if it's as important as it seems to be-"
 Her keen eyes had seen that I was distrait, not listening to her plan. I flushed apologetically as I answered:
 Forgive me, Lillian. I know I wasn't listening as I ought But I've got to tackle that Baker woman this morning, and I can't help worrying about it. l want your ad- vice about it before I go up there"

Mrs. Baker Seems to Be In for
 Rough Handling

My indignation against Mrs. Bak- CT, the mysterious fQurth-floor lodger. steadily grew with every minute succeeding Mary's revelation of the woman's abominable action. If I had followed my first surge of anger should have gone directly to her room as soon as Mary and re- turned from our morning walk in tho park. But I realized that the woman withwhom l had to deal was unusually crafty, and, therefore, dangerous. I must know exactly what l meant to say when I talk ed to her. After all, l reflected, had all day in which to consider her problem, for I had no appointment at the Veritzen offices until the morrow, and had planned to work at home until then.
 So, with no further reference to Mrs. Baker. I walked back with my husbands young niece to the house, finding the entire family gathered in the living-room. Dicky openly fuming as we came in.
 For sliding down the cellar door!" he exclaimed as we entered. Whats the big idea? Breakfasts been ready this quarter of an hour and Katie is tearing her hair out by the roots. And I've missed two busses."
 Get back into your cage, Dicky- bird." Lillian advised, with grin, but there was a perceptible edge in her voice, nevertheless, and I think my husband recognized it. You know it won't make any difference in your work at the studio or that magazine office whether you miss three or four more. Remember, I've summered and wintered with you, boy, as studio neighbors, and I know your habits as well as if I'd invented 'em. You never get really down to work before noon. and you might as we'll go through the mo- tions here as anywhere else"
