GOVERNOH McMULLEN
ISSUES STATEMENT


The following communication has
been gent out this week by Cover
nor Richard c. McMullen to the
newspapers of the State:
Planting time of 1887 is here, we'll
advanced. This promises to be a
more prosperous year than for
many years. Hope In the future has
returned to the hearts of many of
our Delaware people.
Let us all assist as much as We
possibly can in the economical pro-
gram that is being put forth at
Washington by our President. and
to that end / am urging you through
the agency of your paper to ask the
assistance of everyone in this great
work:
BY giving work to the unemploy-
ed.
The unemployed by diligently
seeking employment:
Where land is lying idle. offering
1t to someone in the neighborhood
for their use.
BY asking for land II you are idle
and you may be able to get 1t for
very little, and In some cases. moth
ing.
So that each and everyone Of us
may return to a state of Individual
responsibility that for nearly 800
years was the cause of making this
the greatest country for industry
and happiness on the globe.

C. Reynolds is urging every pedes-
trian who uses the highways at night
during this summer to obey the law
and carry a light or in an emerg-
ency, to either display white cloth
ing or il caught out In dark clothes
when night comes on to at least
fiaunt a white handkerchief in an
effort to save their own lives. Point
ing out that nearly all the pedestri-
ans killed during the last year were
garbed in dark clothing he urges
either the display of a fiash-light or
IL unable to do that to display white
until the point attempted can be
reached. Pedestrians, according to
the highway traffic code, have GER
tain rights, but to save their own
lives and perhaps the lives OF those
driving cars, are required to walk
facing approaching traffic and. carry
some light IL night falls. Pedes-
trians are subject to traffic control
devices. the same as motor traffic.

RESOLUTION ON DEATH OF
JOHN w. Herring

John w. Herring was of Colonial
ancestry. He Swas born in Kent
County, this State, educated in the

University of Delaware. Except for
a short absence daring his early
business life, he has been continu-
Gus resident Of Milford and for over
a half century had contributed to
the business and social activities

His was the character of stability
OF purpose and integrity of thought

moral courage was his outstanding
characteristic. a
= He was a Director of this Bank

PENNSYLVANIA n. II. NOTES

The Pennsylvania Railroad OF
June 2 iiled in the Court OF Common
Pleas OF Dauphin County, Pa, al
Harrisburg, a bill in equity asking
tGat the Fublic Utility Commission
and the Attorney General OF the
Commonwealth be restrained from
putting into efrect the so-called state
Full Crew or Excess Crew" Law
passed by the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture last week and signed by the
Governor. The Court granted tenn
porary injunction returnable on
Monday, June Z.
The Pennsylvania Railroad took
this procedure individually owing to
the necessity for action without de-
lay, but 1t is expected that the other
railroads OF Pennsylvania will short
ly make themselves parties to the
case.
The bill of complaint recites the
instances under which the new law
would require the employment of
additional and, IL is alleged, unnec-
essary brakemen and other train
men ON the crews OF certain trains,
ana states that these requirements
nave no reasonable relationship to
the safety OF employees and travel
ers, ana no reasonable tendency to
further or promote such SAFETY but
have In tact a contrary tendency"
The bill further alleges tnat the
Pennsylvania Legislature in passing
this measure did not have in mind
the use OF police power for the pro-
lection OF employees and travellers,
but that on the contrary the only
purpose and effect which SUCH re-
Quirements can have is to compel the
carriers subject to such Act to en-
ploy an additional and excessive
number of employees whose en-
ployment is not necessary or con-
ducive to the safety of employees
and travellers, but Is solely tor the
personal benefit of such additional
and excessive employees at the ex-
pense Of the carriers by compelling
the carriers to transport them and
pay them wages"
The bill recites numerous require
ments alleged to be needless, such
as the attempted provision for the
employment of an additional motor
man on multiple unit electric pass
enger trains, of a baggageman on a
train carrying locked baggage car,
OF second brakeman on a passen-
ger train merely because the train
happens to consist of five or more
cars whether the cars are carrying
passengers or not, of an extra
brakeman on freight trains of fifty
or more cars regardless of operating
conditions, of full crew including
conductor and two brakemen for the
movement of empty cars regardless
of circumstances, of three brakemen
or helpers for switching yard move
ments, and brakeman or conductor
lin addition to engineman and fire
mani on every locomotive or self
propelled unit without cars.
The railroad states that it is really
to prove that the cost Of these re-
quirements to the Pennsylvania
alone would be over $4.OOO.OOO annu-
ally.

BURDENS
Rx L. A. HALL

BY r. A. HALL ~
When our burdens seem to roll.
Sometimes on. sometimes on,
| II is then we love to stroll
To that place in the old hay loft.
There to tell 1t all to Him
Who is everything to us:
Confessing every little sin.
Despising everythink like lust.
'Tis there we lay our burdens down.
And leave them at our SaYiour's feet
Tho they be like a great high mound.
We're through with them when Him
we meet.
For He has promised He would take
Our load we find too hard to bear,
So let's unload for His dear sake,
Lay on Him our every care.
He has died that we might be
A praise to His eternal name;
How we can just can't see
If loaded down with sin and shame.
II may not be that we have sinned
Or done so much we should not do
Failed in what we should have been
As we journeyed the whole day
through.
But. IL our burdens and our cares
Have kept us from our Saviour's side
We've not escaped the little snares
That are scattered along life's road
so wide.
For all the temptings that we meet
Are far away from His dear side;
But when we seek the Mercy Seat
We find His love doth still abide.
May we not wander far away.
To grieve our Lord. and vex Him so;
Rather walk upright through the day
And choose the way He'd have us go.
For He has said He is the way.
There Is no other way we know.
Let us draw near TO Him, and stay
While we are travelling here below.
And when we're through our work down
here
And laid our every burden down
Our Lord In the clouds will then appear
And take us to that higher ground.
Wen then be free from lust and greed.
And everything this world can give.
II while down here His voice we'll heed.
And In His presence seek to live.

HIGHWAY NOTES

Although the sand along the Della
ware Bay or Atlantic Ocean whether
OH a public or private beach may
not be owned by the State yet under
a recent act of the Legislature ii
has. thorough and wholesome con-
troll over its removal or digging and
State authorities are announcing
that the law is going to be strictly
enforced. No sand can be removed
or dug within 500 feet from the mean
high water mark without first OBJ
tanning written consent from the
State Highway Department and the
violation OF the law carries with it
a fine as high as $50 and imprison-
ment as long as 80 days. The facts
behind the passage of the law are
that in the past such digging out of
beach sand for building and other
various purposes has resulted in adj
jacent lands being flooded, barrier
dunes being destroyed and the prob
ability of serions damage resulting
to nearby farm lands from flooding.
1t takes landscape gardeners as
well as road builders to keep the
highways in shape as is shown this
spring by the large amount OF work
that is being done by the State High
way Department to keep the road
sides In as fine condition as are the
roads. During the past few weeks
crews of men have been cutting the
grass along the roads, spraying the
trees and rose bushes on the sides
Of the highways for disease. pruning
the bushes and shrubs and really do
ing the spring work that every large
garden needs at this time of the year. |
AS result, visitors here are aston
ished at the roses that are blooming
against the guard rails, the fine
young trees that are showing un-
usual fine growth along the road
sides and the shrubs and bushes that
the center of the dual high
ways.
