DULJNGER MEETS FATE

John Dillinger, the motor
ious outlaw, has met his just
fate. The people of Smyrna,
like all other places over the
nation, were keenly interested
in the news Of his death. AS
the Journal-Every Evening
says:
His death should have a
fine effect upon the under
world in this country. 1t
shows it that no man can defy
the law and outrage all the
finer things in the civilization
Of today and get away with it
if the Federal, State, county
and municipal governments
combine against him and de
eide that he must be taken,
dead OF alive, regardless of
time and expense.
'Dillinger wrote a bloody
and heartless chapter in the
history of criminality in the
United States. His name will
remain a household word for
many years to come as being
synonymous with heartless-
blood-thirstiness and brazen
criminal impudence.
Seemingly he thought he
was above all law and that he
might murder, rob and ter
rorize his innocent victims
with impunity and without
penalty.
'He was mistaken. Amer
lea, thoroughly aroused, went
out to get him and it got him.
That Dillinger was brave and
resourceful no one who knows
the details Of his sensational
career will deny; but his BRAY
cry and resourcefulness were
expended in bad causes which
eliminated in him being shot
down like a dog.
'It will be well for other
gangsters to take warning
from the fate that has befal-
len him. That same fate will
befall them if they persist in
pursuing their lawless careers
in defiance of an aroused
American opinion which de-
mands a cleanup and nothing
less than a cleanup.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

The Kent County road from
town limits on north Main
Street to Duck Creek, is bad
" in need Of resurfacing with
macadam to make it smoother
and better for traffic. De
spite the Boulevard, there is
still much traffic that sticks
to the old State road thru
Smyrna over Duck Greek
bridge thru Main Street to the
Boulevard at Lake Como.
Kent County's portion Of this
road is rough and more or less
full Of pot notes.-the only
bad stretch on the whole
route. New Castle County,
which always keeps its part
Of this road in good shape,
has recently resurfaced it
with a coat of macadam and
it is now in fine condition.
Kent County should now do
its part.

Continuing the Negro reformist
policy of collaboration with the
lynch rulers, Finley Wilson, Grand
Exalted Ruler Of the Negro Elks,
yesterday urged the organizations

with my group"
He referred to RooseveE's action
in rewarding Negro misleaders like
william L. Vann, owner and pub
Usher OF the Negro masses by draw
ing them into the national govern

thousands of Negro share choppers
and poor farraers; discrimination
in relief and on the administration
controlled P. W. A. relief projects.

nouncing the quotas declared that
immediate distribution of the local
state and national election plat
forms is a basic task" in the cleo

Making workers thoroughly ia

the illusions which Republicans,
Democrats, borites and
Socialist leaders are attempting to
create in connection with the cleo
tions,' said the committee. More
than that, thorough study of the
document by Party, Young Com
muniSt League members and by all
