WASHINGTON

W
Today the memory of George
Washington will be recalled in ev-
cry town and hamlet in the United
States and in many of the capitals
of the Old World. He lived in the
limelight for many years and all of
his acts were subject to searching
scrutiny, but it is highly significant
that 100 years after his death his
fame has not been dimmed in the
slightest particular. If anything
the real Washington shines more
resplendent than ever. 1t has been
we'll said that the acid of criticism
has only served to emphasize and
to bring out anew the solid char
acter and the lasting influence of an
unusual man.
There have been many great men
in the history of the world, and
many good men, but few have COM
bined these two qualities as did
George Washington. He also had
the distinction of being a notable
soldier and a successful statesman.
He seemed to be the providential
leader of the hour in the colonies.
He, of all others, was the one to
command the army, and he was the
natural and unquestioned choice Of
the people to be the first president
of the United States.
The universal manner in which
Washington is acclaimed today has
caused some impatient critics to
charge that the real man has been
buried beneath a mountain of I'M
merited adulation. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. He was
very human and both his military
and civil careers were beset with !
vexations and difficulties. He had |
to face disloyalty and intrigues in
both the camp and the cabinet. His |
political opponents, envieus of his
resorted to underhand
means to break his hold ON the peo-
pie. He had violent temper, when
aroused, and he did not accept these
tactics meekly. Writing in the sum-
mer of 1896, Washington complain
ed that every act of his administra-
ton had been tortured in the gross
est and meanest manner and mis-
made, "in such ex-
aggerated and indecent terms as
could scarcely be applied to Nero,
/ notorious defaulter or even
pickpocket."
He was not an orator, he was
neither brilliant nor snowy, but he
lad the solid qualities which were
70 essential for the tasks he was
allied upon to perform. He was
lnselfish and when necessary he !
ad the kind of moral courage
which is not afraid to oppose the t
Opular cutlery. He did not hest
ate to surround hlmSelf with great :
len like Hamilton and Jefferson, :
nd the fact that he did not suffer +
l comparison is one of the great \
st tributes that can be paid him.
e spoke only when he had some
ling to say, and at every crisis in Z
is life he was found safe, sane and
,nsible. His farewell address to p
S countrymen is one of the noblest 4
I'd most instructive documents 8
er penned, and it might well be S.
led today as the chart by which lie
steer the ship of state. If the
lited States is to remain the hope n n
the world it will be by con- M
lntly keeping in mind the char
ter and the ideals of it's first M

ANOTHER TAXPAYER
Dirt Roads Awful
A Cry From Wilderness

In regards to road one mile south
of Pennington, leading west of rail-
road to Blanchards Station, it is in
such bad condition, l think some
thing should be done to keep public
unfamiliar with the state of its con-
ditions, from entering by placing
sign at entrance to road. The people
in this vicinity have waited for a
permanent road until now, they are
at the end of their rope. Never has
the road been in such a state as at
present time. Each year getting
worse until now the road is nothing
at places but deep ruts the entire
width. Machines drag at places, and
as to using horses, they have no
footing at all. Now if the head of de-
partment would only give this his
personal inspection, he can readily
see statements correct and COM
plant necessary. The men are get
ting disguised having to go out all
kinds of weather (rainy included);
founder around in mud, trying to get
the unfortunates out, so they can go
on to their destination. The school
bus one rainy morning, was held up
in this rutty place until nearly nine
O'Clock, before getting on his way to
get the children; as this happened
on the beginning of his route. Now
imagine those tots, some no doubt
waiting in rain for the bus, not
counting the part of study they were
missing. If the road is given a per-
sonal inspection, then it can readily
be seen, that the community is not
asking for something unreasonable,
as the road is used the entire year
for their business. No heavy deliv-
cry can be made.

Pennington. Feb. %. 1872!

Pennington, Feb. 20, 1926
The people who have their homes
along the highway in Kent county
known as the Pennington Blanchard
Road, have very good cause to de-
mand publicity as to its condition al
present.
The complaint is non-partisan, ano
their object is to get some kind Of
permanent road built. l can say
without fear of contradiction, that
the Farmington-Blanch road is
one of the very worse in Kent coun-
ty. have heard men in service
with the Highway Department, say
that they know of no road in Kent
county that is so bad 20 get over in
the winter.
That part of the road from the
State Highway to Collins Cross
Roads, is part of the regular route
for the school bus, for our milk
truck and for the rural mail deliv-
cry. Each of these have had to de-
tour, or provide other means of
transportation than using their mo-
tor conveyances.
We are a fairly representative
community; one farm on this road
has licensed a truck and four auto
mobiles, and paid for four or more
drivers licenses for the past few
years.
A representative at Harrington for
one of the largest feed distributing
companies, says: "the farm that uses
the largest quantity of that brand Of
feed is located along this road"
Today four tons of feed is being
hauled from the car and stored, be-
cause our road is impossible for
hauling. When the road gets so
loaded truck can get over it, that
feed will have to be reloaded and
hauled to the costumer. That is eX-
pensive as well as inconvenient.
Farmers living along this dirt
road want to be reasonable; but,
when we see what is being done for
some of the other roads, we think
our road should be made passable.
If the money spent for Kent county
roads were applied proportionally, 1t
would be done.
The Levy Court member from this |
district about two years ago came |
and viewed this particular road at
Ter its condition was reported to |
lini, and he is reported as saying: Il
lon't see how any motor conveyance
ever gets over that road"
We invite any connected with the
'oads of Kent county, to come view
t now; or try to get over it in their
ar.

POLITICAL PATRONAGE

One of the most perplexing of the
problems that President-elect Hoov-
er, and in fact all governors and
congressman have to face, is that of
political patronage. They find ON
accession to Office, that a lot of
party workers demand public posi-
tions for themselves and their
friends, as a reward for political
service.
These applicants take the posi-
ton that they are fairly entitled to
such opportunities, since people can
not be expected to do the political
work which must be done, unless it
is regarded as an opening to car
eer in the public service.
The reformers of previous day
used to regard that position as all
wrong, and they would favor turn
ing down most of these requests.
OF course where these party work.
ers demanded clean sweep of civil
service employees to make room for
political workers, such clean, sweeps
would demoralize the public SER
vices and prevent efficiency.
1t would be an ideal and wonder
full thing, if the spirit of good cit
izenship was so strong, that people
would be glad to do all necessary
campaign work purely as public
service, without hope of any kind of
reward. Then our politicians would
be free to make appointments sole
ly on the basis of merit, without
regard to patronage claims.
But such high standards are be-
yond our reach today, and we have
to do the best we can. The party
workers will demand appointments
to Office and political promotion for
a long time to come. But public
sentiment should insist that people
should not get jobs for which they
are not fitted. They must be re-
quired to demonstrate their fitness
for any position before they can
expect appointment. The most they
have the right to claim is that ev-
erything else being equal, the party !
workers may be considered to have
the first claim on the job.

AGRICULTURAL GRADING

Standardization Of agricultural
products, development of very re-
cent years, is doing much to aid in
the profitable marketing of the far
mer's goods.
The Department of Agriculture has
established a comprehensive set Of
standards and grades which cover
almost every farm product. Not only
is this practical in local and national
trade, but in international commerce
as we'll.
The farmer, as a result, is bene-
fitted by an increased demand for
graded products and by the fact that
grading determines which goods are
to be stored for future sale and
which Immediately marketed.

THE VALUE OF APPLAUSE

When people give a lecture or
play, they remark that it makes a
big difference to them whether the
audience is responsive or not. If
the spectators are undemonstrativc
and listless, it takes the heart out
of the performers, and the merit Of
their production is less.
It is much the same in promoting
the development of cities. If the
people who lead public movements
and take the hard jobs in the civic
organizations, obtain no apprecia-
ton, it takes a lot of grit to push
ahead with all the enterprise of
which they are capable. Give them
a hand of applause, tell them they
are doing good work, and it will
give them the faith to go ahead and
do still more.

THE MARRIAGF AGE

There are IL states where girls of
II years of age can be married if
their parents consent. There are
only IL states where the minimum
age is as high as 16 years. 1t would
seem that marriage laws permitting
these union IS at very early ages
ought to be changed. Girls of II and
IA are not mature enough to enter
the married state.
The community should have some
thing to say about it, since the chill
dren of poorly arranged marriage
are much more likely to make trou-
BILE.
Many parents who permit these
very early marriages, may argue
that their children would run away
and live together Illegally if the
marriage was not tolerated. If this
is the idea, we suggest that parents
should straighten up home discipline.
Girls of IL to IA should be playing
active games, and not thinking about
love affairs and matrimony.
