"With all reverence to LaFayette, It wonld be no overrecognltlon to eea the kinsman of DeNemoure utilize his accumulated, powers to serve this republic as its chief. "Mr. du Pont is the embodiment ol success. Experienced In business activities, trained In statecraft, socially equipped to meet the elite ot civilization, he 'could assume any duty with confidence and success. "Possessing courage and convictions. with force to impress upon all his Individuality, he has ths lovablt | gentleness that marks the man of , power. "Able to Influence captains of big business, also to sway the less fortunate through an Innate sense ot the Justice, he produces ' the great' est good to the greatest number.' "Rich in resourcefulness, ripe In experience. rare In achievements, he Is eminently fitted for any place. "Without reflection on merit, without critical comparison, ths republlo has not produced one .son to whoaa Colemsndu Pont Is not peer."

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S ° A STOR 1 A BURN YOUR LIGHTS An amendment to the road law pass- • ed by the last session of the Legisla- ■ adds to the penalty for violating • he act requiring that every vehicle ' drawn by horse, horses or other animals shall carry, a light during the period ■ from half an hour after sunset until half ' an hour before sunrise, and whenever 1 fog renders it impossible to see a long ^ distance. Heretofore it has been a fine ' of £2.50 to $5. Now, on failure to pay ' , the fine the violator may be sent to ' jail for not more than thirty days, ^ | Since the light requirement Is 'quite ■ as much for the protection of the driver ' and pedestrian as for the automobilist, ' it was expected that "compliance would be made with the law, but after Several ' years' experience it has been found that ' some of the drivers of horse-drawn vehicles think they have superior rights in the roads and are under no obliga tion to consider the safety of themselves or others. The jail penalty will no doubt bring some of them .to their senses and rednee the number of accidents caused by failure to observe the law. i i Read the Weekly Star and Wave. 1 i .
