Speaker Donahoe says he Is guilty
Of nothing but what was fair, straight
and honorable in his telegram to
Senator Moore of Laurel. that he
might remain at home from Thursday
evening until Monday, and at the
same time telegraphing to Senator
Hall to be on hand on Friday morn
Ing. He says Senator Moore left
Dover to go home on Thursday with
out distinct understanding as to
how long to stay away, and his tele-
gram to him was simply to fix the
time. At tho same time he says
Senator Halls leave of absence ex-
PRED on Thursday evening and his
telegram to him was simply to re-
mind him of that fact.
We hope we have done the Speaker
no injustice in summing up the
reasons for his actions. Even had
there been no design on the part Of the
Speaker to take any partisan advan-
tage Of the situation it so happened
that IL his two telegrams had been
promptly answered, there would have
been in the Senate on Friday four
Democratic and three Republican
Senators, and the Five County Com
missioner bill would have been rushed
through and would that day have
become law, provided Senator Hall
would have voted for ii, which is more
probable than otherwise, and provided
again that the three Republican Sena.
tors had not vacated the chamber and
have left the Senate without a quorum.
Then, again, the Speaker says there
was nothing in the incident OF the
three Democratic members remaining
outside the Senate chamber on Thurs
day afternoon from three until five
O'clock, while four Republican Sena.
tors We're sitting inside waiting foi
the appearance of the Speaker, to com.
mence business. Perhaps it meant
nothing. but 1t seems the Speaker and
his colleagues came marching in whom
assured by Republican Senator thai
no advantage would be taken of the
Democrats by reason of a Republican
majority.
The Speaker may be all right, but tht
circumstances look as If he was al
wrong. and further look as If he con
sidered it his main duty as Speaker o
the Senate to SEQ that his party SHOULD
be taken care of at all hazards. w,
regret that we are compelled to thu
criticise the actions of the Speaker, bu
candor and duty compels US TO do so
and the fault is the Speakers.

Unless the Five County Commits
sioner bill becomes a law to-day the
Republican Levy Court will take its
seat tomorrow and will proceed with
the duties belonging to that body.
The Senate, which Is to meet to-day at
II o'clock, several hours earlier than
its usual time, has the fate of the bill
in hand. If Senator Williams is still
unable to DO present to-day, as is
quite probable, the bill will be doomed
unless some other unforeseen circum-
stances have occurred, and even
should Senator Williams he In his
place nobody is certain Of the course
he would pursue, with the chances
that he would be opposed to the bin
while in favor of some other bill he
considers better for county reform.
With the failure of the Five County
Commissioner bill to go into effect to-
day, also would fall the Cedar Creek
and Little Creek hundred bills to create
two additional Democratic Levy Court
men for Sussex county, to override the
Republican majority in the Levy Court
in that county and the rightfully and
honestly elected Levy Court of that
county will also meet tomorrow and
pursue its usual routine of business.
The failure Of these partisan schemes
at both ends Of the State will encour-
age the friends of government of
and by the people, and will bring dis.
may and shame upon the party that
tried to rob the people of the right to
govern themselves.
Should these dlsgraceful schemes
fail to become laws to-day, tho Legis
lature we hope will then go to work
and with the honest advice and senti
ment of the best elements of all parties
devise and put together a system d
county government that will be rea
