their every day clothes. AS result

TIRED OF EXPERIMENTS

Sixteen leading business men have
presented to President Roosevelt a
statement in which they pledge their
aid to efforts to revive business.
They hold that legislation based on
untried theories should be avoided.
The president seemed to approve
their statement.
The United States has been a kind
of experimental laboratory for trying
out new economic ideas. Some of
these plans are probably permanent.
while others have not worked well.
Some people say that science has
achieved its great advance by con-
stantly exploring undiscovered terri
tory. so government must do the
same. Many practical folks say the
ideas of thrift. hard work, and econ
omy that pulled the country out of
previous holes. should not be dis
caTded now.
There are many people who SEEM
ingly expect to get something for
nothing. and to get more pay for
doing less work. which ideas have
not usually proved helpful in the
past.

GARDEN COMPETITIONS

In some communities public spirit
ed people have offered prizes to the
home that should produce the finest
gardens or the most improvement in
these places. The results have been
marvellous. Many homes that pre-
viously we're Indifferent about their
appearance suddenly got busy, clean
ed up Objectionable spots, and plant
ed beautiful flowers and shrubs. So
many homes that once looked plain
and unattractive, in a short time be-
came nests of beauty.
The same results can be had any
where even if no prizes ar& offered.
Those who do such things always
get very valuable prize. in the form
OF admiration and praise from all
who observe their effort.

TN HONOR OF MOTHERs

Some holidays are observed in
name only, in a very different way
from the idea held in view when
these occasions were established
Thanksgiving day. for instance, was
created to render thanks to God. Most
people observe it merely by eating a
big dinner. and with little thought
of any higher power.
Mothers day. observed on the sec
ond Sunday in May, has become a
popular event not through laws and
proclamations, but because il repre-
sents a spontaneous desire of the
people There are very few who do
not love their mothers.
It could be wished that this uni
versal desire to pay respect to mo-
theirs could be maintained at an
equally high level all the days of the
year. There is in countless families
feeling of division between parents
and children. The young people feel
that the world has moved on very
fast, and that the parents do not un-
derstand the spirit of the times. and
are constantly issuing orders or Of
fering advice that is out of date and /,
will make the young people seem pc
culiar and old fashioned if it is fol-
lowed.
So when the Mother tells her Off
spring to do thus and so. the request
is not always needed. Or if it is fol-
lowed. it is often in such a sullen
way as to destroy sympathy. Many

Milford, Friday, May 6, 1898

KENT COUNTY REPUBLICANS
have this week entered into an agree
ment which will insure united eff
fort at the polls in November. Under
the terms of the understanding as
announced, both factions of the party
will have equal representation on a
war board" and the plans fOrmu-
lated by this board will be followed
in the coming campaign. For months
it has been apparent to those in the
"know" in Kent county that there
was a sincere desire on the part of
the leaders of each group to bury the
hatchet. When the election of a
county chairman was deferred a few
weeks ago a long step was taken
toward the solution of the problem.
Present indications are that Duffy
Wharton. who was slated for the job
by the organization group. will re-
ceive the Craftsmanship when the
final arrangements are completed.
With the New Castle County trOu-
bles ironed out. and with Jim" Eli !
son, Writ Willis and others of the |
Independents back in harness, Re /
publican leaders are predicting an
overwhelming majority for the Re
publican ticket in the upper county
at the fall elections. The harmony
movement whereby the Allees. in
Dover, Morris Harrington. at Eel
ton. and other Independent leaders
throughout the county will work in
cooperation with the organization
group will do much to elect Repub-
lican candidates in the middle county.
As yet no apparent effort has been
made by responsible leaders to effect
an agreement in Sussex county.
Leaders in the lower county are
shaping up campaign program
which they believe will be effective
out which, as yet. they have not dr.
vulged. Republican prospects in
Delaware are looking up" which
augers well for rousing victory in
November.

Northeast Group Votes to
Oppose Limitation on
Taxes in D. c.

A resolution asking the collection
of tuition from nonresident pupils IN
District schools was adopted by the
Northeast Washington Citizens Asso-
citation at its meeting last night in the
Ludlow School.
Legislation authorizing the Public
Utilities Commission to limit the num-
Der Of taxicabs operating in the Dis
trict of Columbia was disapproved by
the association. President Evan H.
Tucker said the Executive Committee
had given weight to the belief that
such legislation would result in the
independent operators being thrown
out of work.
The proposed diversion of gas tax
funds to pay for street lighting was
scored by j. E. Overlade. chairman Of
the College and School Committee.

A resolution recommending that q
qualified medical examiner be substi-
tuted for the present coroner's jury
was adopted. More stringent laws
against hold-ups, particularly those in
which people are injured or shot, and
increased penalties for those convicted
Of perpetrating hold-ups we're asked in

ported that the per cent per month

be enough to induce people to enter
the business. The present condi-
tion. where people 60 to Virginia or
Maryland and pay 3la per cent plus
numerous charges, would continue
Should the bill be amended to allow
2 per cent then We might approve it."
The establishment Of farm for

mended and bill providing for the
