A REASONABLE DEMAND

No honest-thinking man will ques-
ton the justness OF the attitude which
the Democratic County Executive
Committee has assumed towards that
class OF political reformers who style
themselves Single Takers, and who are
seeking to have one or the other OF
the principal parties Of Delaware TO
give countenance to their peculiar the
ories, and to accept them as an in
legral part OF the party organization.
This paragraph from recent ad-
dress by the Democratic County Exc
cutive Committee to the Democratic
voters OF New Castle county certainly
entails no hardships upon any true
party man:
IN view of the confusion which may
be caused il persons, only on that day
pretending to be Democrats, shall be
allowed TO vote. the committee deems
1t a duty to direct that the votes OF no

persons who are known or suspected
Of being allied with the so-called
Single Tax movemnt shall be received
by the officers Of election, unless such
persons shall publicly pledge them
selves 10 support the successful nomi-
nees OF the Democratic party, and the
officers of election are hereby instruct
ed to challenge the votes Of such per-
sons, and to keep a special list OF all
such challenges and note thereon those
who have given such pledge, and those
who have refused to give it.
For the Democratic party TO go into
this campaign as the advocate OF a tax
scheme such as that outlined by the
men who are so lndustriously and per-
sistently urging its adoption would b
TO invite defeat. The people of Della
ware, always conservative, are not
willing that the finances OF the state or
the property OF its citizens should be
made the subjects Of an experiment.
The Democratic party, not being in
accord with the Single Takers as the
orists, has a perfect right to ask from
them a pledge for the support of the
candidates nominated before permit
ting them to participate, to even the
remotest degree, in the party primaries
or councils.

VICTIM OF CONSERVATISM.

Hon. John c. Higgins Is not a prison
reformer for party advantage in this
particular jucture when he happens to
be the regular Republican nominee for
governor. For several years he has
been working hand'in hand with Chief
Justice Lore. Judge Ball, and other
public-spirited Delawareans to bring
about a peaceful and beneficient revo-
luton in our manner OF dealing with
the criminal classes. His address on
prison reform, delivered before the
Farmers Institute at Shellpot Park
yesterday, was an able exposition OF
views which he and a large class OF
Delawareans have entertained fol
many years.
Prison reform is in no sense a par
tisan question. It's most earnest anC
able advocates are about equally di
vided between the two great parties
The real stumbling block in the wa!
Of the accomplishment of the purposes
Of this most desirable movement is tn
penny-wise and pound-foolish conser
vatism OF Kent and Sussex counties
who fear that New Castle county ma
be the chief beneficiary, forgetting tina
it contributes most largely to the sup
I port Of our state institutions.
