Leaves on the trees are be-
ginning to turn. They will be
most beautiful a few weeks
from now. Most beautiful,
and yet their loveliness is the
symbol of decay-old age. So
it is with man and art. Have
lock Ellis,in his book on Hugs
mans, says: "All art is the
rising and falling of the shap-
es of a rhythmic curve between
classic and decandent extrem-
es. Decadence suggests to
us going down, falling, decay.
If we walk down a real hill we
do not feel that we commit a
more wicked act than when
we walked up it" Charts of
the great insurance compan-
les indicate the same thing.
The life span remains at about
the Biblical three score and
ten. The latter years are on
the downward slope of the
hill. Nowadays, with all this
talk of glands and operations,
and comic attempts to length
en- the life of man, the idea
that one day folk may remain
on the earth a hundred or a
hundred and fifty years does
not seem ridiculous. But man
cannot escape the inevitable
in that way. 1t does not re
move the hill of life to make
its slope longer. And we shall
find scientists will find that it
does not make the climbing
easier. No one wants maple
tree to stay green all winter.
Its red and golden beauties of
the autumn would be lost to
mans enjoyment. So, too,
man cannot escape old age by
putting it off. Should he do
so, it would rob life of its
most charming phase.

QUESTION AS TO WARRANT

Judge Morris in Federal Court at
Wilmington Raises Point of Law
The question of the right of Fed
eral prohibition agents to search
anywhere, without a search war
rant, was raised in Federal Court
yesterday afternoon by Judge
Morris, presiding over the trial
of David A. Eskridge, of Seaford,
who is charged with shooting two
agents who found hi mnear a 55
gallon still in a forest near Blades,
in Sussex County, on July 26, at
Ills p. m. The question came
when Irving w. Windsor, one of
the wounded agents had ben call
ed to testify in the case. Judge
Morris interrupted the agent, af-
ter United States District Attor-
ney Leonard e. Wales had asked
Windsor if a search warrant had
been issued to search the woods, to
which the agent replied in the neg
ative. Where do you get the
authority to search withon. a
search warrant" asked the court,
and after some hesIitance the agent
replied that it was the custom
when they were searching for law
violations in woods and fields. Dis

trict Attorney Wales informed the
court that no warrant was needed
where felony had ben committed
in the sight of officers and it had
already been testified during the
trial by the agents that the fire
under the still was visible from
where they were hiding before the
shooting occurred, which was evil
dence of a law violation. Judge
Morris quoted from an opinion
handed down by Judge Woolley of
the Circuit Court of Appeals in
which it was held that officers
must have a search warrant to
search anywhere. Mr.. Wales then
informed the court that the ques-
tion had never been raised in court
in Wilmington before to which
Judge Morris replied that he did
not believe that prohibition
agents commission gives him the
right to trespass on every foot of
ground in Delaware. Mr.. Wales

particular case the agents were
asked to look through the forest
at the request of the owner of the
property and Judge Morris replied
that both he and the district at
torney were governed by the law
covering all cases, but allowed the
prosecuting officer to continue to
prove his contention by examining
witness who later testified that
they went on the land to seize the
still at the request of the property
owner. After all of the testimony
had ben taken, former Judge Ed
win r. Cochran, who represented
Eskridge, asked permission of the
court to allow him to further study
the ruling of Judge Woolley, before
the address of counsel and the
charge of the court were made.
Judge Morris granted the request.

JAIL RULES ARE CHANGED
Prisoners, Late at Night, Are Not
Wanted at New Castle WOrkhouse

County constables and State
highway police who have prison
ers late at nights and in the wee
hours of the morning destined for
the New Castle County Workhouse
will only be allowed to leave their
charges at the institution when the
cases are emergency ones. This
ruling was made several weeks
ago by Elmer ]. Leach, warden of
the workhouSe, but it was not
generally known until last week
The ruling, according to Warden
Leach, was made after State and
county authorities several weeks
ago unloaded 10 men at the work
house they had arrested for violat-
ing the liquor laws at a. m. and
then returned at 4 a. m. with 20
they had arrested as witnesses.
Warden Leach said the noise made
by the men and women aroused
the inmates of the workhouse and
for while bedlam prevailed. Many
of the inmates at the workhouse
are long term prisoners and dis
rupting of the routine of the work
house is harmful Mr.. Leach said.
Warden Leach at that time ex-
planned to the county constables
and others that it would oe neces-
sary to have a closing hour for ad-
mission and only emergency cases
would be admitted late at nights.
The new ruling was enforced early
Monday morning when the attend
ants at the workhouse refused
George Scye, of Bridgeville, who
was committed in default of a fine
of S25 and costs imposed on a
charge of reckless driving. The
charge was preferred by officer
Sullivan. Magistrate Lister i'm
posed the fine.

We are glad to note Smyrna
Town Council is making some
effort to save macadam Union
street from going to pieces.
Considerable money was spent
some years ago to lay a ma
cadam bed on this street, but
since then little or no effort
has been made to keep it in a
good state of repair. The con-
sequence is the rains and gut
ter flow have undermined the
road surface, cutting in a
number of places toward the
center of the street. This
week Street Supervisor Mat
tiford at the direction of
Council is laying tar and stone
in these worn places to pre-
serve what is left of the hard
surfaced street. This is as it
should be. 1t will be money
well expended if Council
would see that both sides of
Union Street all the way thru
is curbed and have macadam
laid from cuhb to curb. While
a small street, Union street is
an important street and a
thoroughfare much used. 1t
is also the street on which
pretty st. Peters Church is
located and that Pensioners
have to park their cars in a
muddy or dusty gutter in
front of the church is a re-
Election on Town Council for
not having a curb to curb ma
cadam roadbed on Union
street. Much money has been
spent to open and extend
streets to the Boulevard. This
was a worthy movement and
now that Delaware, South, Mt.
Vernon, Market and other
streets have been rebuilt from
curb to curb, Council should
see to it that Union street is
rebuilt from curb to curb also.

HUNTERS ASKED NOT TO SHOOT PHEASANTS
 BY GAME WARDEN

A request to motorists and hunt CTS not to kill or injure the Chin csc phe2sants seen occasionally near the Glacier Highway, is ex pressed by Frank DufreSne, Game Warden. The pheasants are from those brought in py Billie Taylor from Oregon - 1926 and since be- ing liberated have seemed to adapt themselves easily to the new envir- onrnent. If they ara left alone by hunters now, there will be enough within a few years to provide good hunting, MT. Dufresnc said.
 Several motorists nave reported seein pheasants along the Menden- hall road this Spring. They ap- peared to be very tame and as Q consequence it is said that two or three. have been potted by gun ners,' MT. Dufresne said.

NOTED AUTHOR, LECTURER, TO
 HUNT IN NORTH
Robert Frothingham Prais- es Alaska - Is Giving
 Lectures on North

Robert Frothingham. widely trav- eled and known author, lecturer and big game hunter is an Alas kan visitor again this year, being passenger for Seward on the steamer Yukon that called here enroute to the Westward last night.
 Mir. Fr0thingham has made many trips to the Territory before and last night when the Yukon was in port, visited with old acquaintances for several hours. He is in the north to secure as a trophy, a Kodiak brown bear. Last year he enjoyed a successful moose hunt on the Kenai Peninsula under the auspices of the Alaska Guides As sociation. which organization is to conduct this seasons hunt.
 When in the States the main interest oE MT. Frothingham is lec- turing and by the interest he shows in the north country it is safe to say that a great many of the topics he chooses to lecture on are features of Alaska
 Romantic Alaska
 On April i2 a lecture entitled Romantic Alaska" was delivered before the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. The lecture was broadcast over a statewide hookup over the Station KPO, to an esti- mated audience of 100000 listen- CTS.
 Mir. Frothingham's real heart in- teTest in Alaska can be appreciated when these excerpts from his lec- ture. which were printed in the Commonwealth magazine, are read: "One of the most persistent mis-, conceptions is that Alaska is l; forbidding land of eternal ice an snow unfit for occupation by whitt men, inhabited principally by somt Eskimos and Indians, and of little value This view is not withou adherents in our national legisla- tive halls. l.
 Perhaps it had it's origin in tho cupidity of the Russian discoverer' of TAI, who, when they learned how. plentiful sea otter and flu seal were, spread narrowing tales to discourage the rest of the world from coming in to share profits.
 "As a matter of fact, most Of Alaska lies in the north temperate zone and exhibits about. the same variety of climate as the States"
 Outdoors Is Hobby
 Mir Frothingham is a vital mid dle-aged man whose hobby is the great outdoors and telling the res, of the world about it.
 During the time he was uptown last evening, most of which was spent praising the wonders of the Territory, he spoke characteristic cally of our great Mt. Mckinley
 He referred to it as "the greatest pile of scenic grandeur on the face of the earth, and the greatest mountain, bar none, on the face of that same earth" He stated an interesting fact: that Mount Everest, considered the hi h e S ' mountain peak in the world, rises to her 29,141 feet above sea level, from a plateau 14,000 feet elevation. Therefore the height of the noun tain proper is 15,141 feet. He com pared that great mountain to M Mckinley, saying: Tt rises to it's height of 20,30o feet above sea level from a plateau 2,O00 feet elevation And I concede it to be greater mountain by far than even Everest | - =
