Editorial Opinion
THICKEN BY THE
PIECE AND POUND.
Rrom the Wilmington Labor Herald !
One thing that should be stopped,
and quickly too, Is the farmer sell
ing poultry by the piece and not the
pound. It 1s a usual occurance on
market days for some marketer to
get stung on a purchase of poultry.
Here Is an instance: Mrs. T. paid
eighty cents for a chicken. When she
reached her home, upon weighing the
chicken, she ascertained that she
had paid that price for Just one and
three-quarter pounds,
happens time after time. It is all
right to set the price on an article
you wish to sell, but when the stand
ard of selling poultry Is by weight,
then the farmers In our street ipar
kets should be compelled to be gov
erned thereby. In the cited Instance,
the farmer should have had the chick
en tagged, one
pounds, 80 cents.
The thing

SUMMER DIVERSION
FOR CITY FOLK.
From the Milford Chronicle.
Thousands of city people are now
counting the hours when they can
leave for some lake or river for an
outing, where they can fight mo
squitoes and bugs for a few days, and
perhaps get drowned. It Is a great
thing that many of our ancestors
lived and died not knowing what a
vacation or outing meant.
THE POSSIBLE AND PROBABLE,
From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Morning News hae evidently
taken alarm at what it calls the "anti
patriotism
cialism in its effect« upon law-making
and administration.
Doubtless tlfere is some cause lor
alarm on the part of the ultra-conservap
live folk, in the rapid development hi
this country of socialistic tendencies.
They are disturbing. To conservative
folks disturbance means ruin. Ihat,
Jiowever, is not the rule. In nature,
destruction of the old is the predicate
of the new—of perfection.
Socialism aims at the possible. It
achieves
result of
atruction of the Republic. The pro
ability was that it would he successful
achieved. So, we think, it has been
new nominative for no
only the probable. A possible
the Civil War was the de
Jy
in all history.
KIND WORDS FOR CROSS.
From the Dover Delawarean.
In common with hosts of other friends
of his we are pleased to note the recog
nition which has come to Prof. E. L.
Cross, former principal of the Wilming
ton Conference Academy. He was this
week appointed superintendent of tt«
public schools of New Caatls county, to
succeed Prof. Spaid, resigned. This is
an important position, but Professor
Cross is amply equipped to meet all the
requirements of the office.
CRITICIZES COUNCILMAN STOVER.
Prom the Wilmington Every Evening.
We do not think Councilman Stover'»
attack upon City Auditor Biddle at
Wednesday night's meeting of City
Council, was justifiable. Mr. Biddle has
given faithful service in this office, of a
character to fully justify his reappoint
ment, and the fact that he suffers from
some degree of physical disability is no
reason for reflecting upon him, so long
aa the work of his office U efficiently
performed and kept up to date under
his supervision. As to old tax accounts
that should have been audited hv
cf his predecessor», it i» not Just to
censure him for the fact that a special
auditor had to bo -Huployed to audit
them.

NEWARK WANTS A GAS PLANT.
From the Newark Ledger.
As Newark is pushing ahead in
and
progressiveness
method, why not have a gas plant?
Elkton Is discussing another -
plant. Franchise has been asked by
company for the right of the use of the
streets. If this franchise Is granted
by Council this will give that town
two plants.
There has been a demand for a gas
plant here, especially for heating and
up-to-date
gas
a
cooking purposes. If the town cannot
install this plant some party or par
ties could be Induced to come and
give the people what they want.
No very good reason can be given
why Newark should not have a gas
plant. As far as expenses and other
trifling things go should be no hln
deranco In giving Newark the latest
and best of everything, what sort

It can stand. There has been money
appropriated toward an armory for
Company E, O. M. D„ but as land Is so
scarce It looks like the soldier boys
would have to remain In their present
quarters.
If our people are real progressive,
some action will be taken at once to
Imprqve Newark. When some things
are accomplished then this town will

"STILL ON THE JOB."
From the Georgetown Sussex Repub
lican.
to Y critlmte k m W J^ at .m er <r r 'T 5 ;
every one of * lb«» d nhwoonahie
things the Sentinel enumerates, we
have criticised and fought for years.
They are the direct result of the poll
tical activities of those with whom
the Sentinel has always been arrayed
who have always fought for self and
parly first. Ignoring the welfare of
the State and Us people, thereby de
veloplng an electorate supremely sel
fish In Us politics, "penny wise and
proud foolish" in public affairs.
Nevertheless. It Is true that our
people are prosperous, a prosperity
just beginning to enlarge, hut only
beginning Our general political
Ideals are low, just emerging from
the slough of corrupting filth through
which they have been dragged, hut
with the growing knowledge of their
own strength and Independence will
come higher and purer Ideals to our
people, until Sussex county, is, in
fact and In truth, in prosperity,
education and character what she
