NEITHER HENCHMAN OR TOOL
An Unjust Attack Made on
SenatOr-elect J. Frank
Alice, Of Kent.
his CAREER IN POLITICS
Has Been Identified With the PO.
litical Affairs of the State Since
1887 When He Launched
the Boom for H. A.
Richardson.

One of the Wilmington Sunday papers
speaks rather sneeringly OF the mention
j. Frank Allee's name in connection
with the United States Senatorship, init
mating that Mr.. Alice did not possess
any of the elements that go to make the
statesman or leader Of men or party. The
writer of that article is certainly an anna
teur in Delaware political history and
his acquaintance with men and matters
in the lower counties is decidedly vague.
When the assertion is made that ].
Frank Alice is the henchman or tool
of anyone it ia made without the
foundation OF fact.
No man in Kent or Sussex is better
known than J. Frank Alice. Ever since
1887 he has been identified with the
political affairs of Kent. But his first
prominent work in this line was the
launching Of the Harry A. Richardson
boom, when Mr.. Richardson was the
nominee for Governor in 80. He it was
who personally engineered Mr.. Richard
sons preliminary canvass and though he
had opposed to him the Massey and
Higgins factions he landed his man in
convention as the nominee by acclama-
tion. He is recognized as one of the
most independent men in politics today.
A shrewd successful business man, a
gentleman by nature, possessed of tire
less energy, he easily forges to the front
in any undertaking he embarks in, and
his keen knowledge of the political
status Of Kent and Sussex has made him
the natural consulting power among the
leaders of those counties. In the late
campaign he predicted the result within
a very few votes and gave PLAUSIBLE rea-
sons for his predictions. He spares
neither time nor means when the inter-
ests of his party are at stake and he is
today the man most feared by the Demo
Gratis of the lower counties, answering
in his allegiance to a friend, brainy,
quick to see point and take advantage
Of it, of ready address, we'll booked, j
Frank Alice would size up with the best
men named, by either party and lose
nothing by the comparison. Few men
in the State have more friends politica
or social.

COMMISSIONERS MEET.
Robert Armstrong Puts in a Bill For
$323.25 Against New Castle
Hundred officials.

The Road Commissioners of New
Castle hundred met in Squire Janvier's
office New Castle on Thursday afternoon.
Robert Armstrong who has brought suit
to recover claim of $323.25 for work
done was present and gave the Commits
sioners chance to make some kind
of settlement but none was made and
the case comes up in the Courts next
week.
A new ruling was made in regards to
paying for work and material. In the fu-
ture all bills incurred by the present
Commissioners will have precedence over
back bills and the latter will be paid in
proportionate shares if any exists.
Squire Janvier, the former clerk SUBJ
mitted his report covering the years
since 1894 which was ordered published
in this paper and will be found in full in
another column.
The total Indebtedness is over $1,000
and the amount available to meet this
indebtedness and keep the roads in re-
pair is something over So 900. The high
est amount due is over $500 and ranging
as low as ST.. The total amount spent on
the roads of this hundred since 1891 is
$50, 443322 1891, while the amount collected
was $s4, l3O.59.
1t is the intention OF the commission
ers to do as little work as possible and
pay off the indebtedness with the sur
plus, if any. In all probability Attorney
Hilles will be asked to draw up bill
favorable to good roads. The ex-clerk,
Mr.. Janyier, turned over to A. M.
Wise, the new clerk, all the books and
they then adjourned.

bright life sorrow by telling her he is

Pupils Of School No. 2l Await
ing the Anniversary With
Anticipation and Delight.
THEIR FIFTH CELEBRATION
Candy, Cakes. Etc, Will Be Pre-
sented to the Scholars in Com
memoratiOn Ofthe Great Event.
Work of Chairman DIR.
j. w. Crumbaugh.

Thoughts of the near approach of
Christmas bring up delightful expecta-
tions to the children and recall pleasant
memories to those who have passed be-
yond childhood's happy hours. The
200 children attending Public School No.
21, located at Fifth and Scott, have more
reason than children generally have to
look forward to Christmas with delight
and pleasure. 1t is because this greatest
Of ali holidays is always observed in that
school in very fitting manner. The
teachers, the pupils and the friends of
the school all work together, and the re-
suit obtained ia always very gratifying.
The children have been looking forward
to Christmas for sometime past and
counting the days.
There is rumOr abroad in the school
that this years observation OF Christmas
will eclipse all former ones. There is
always considerable mystery about the
preparations for these affairs, and star
chamber sessions are held by the teach
ers and friends of the school and the
children, try as hard as they can, are
never able to find out just what mys-
terious doings are going on until the
great day arrives.
This will be the fifth observation Of
Christmas held by the school. Each
year the children seem to have better
time. This year it will take place Fri
day, December %. 1t is in the form of
pleasing entertainment, during which
the children are given Christmas treat.
This generally consists of candy, cakes
of various kinds, peanuts, etc.
Much of the success of these Christmas
affairs has been due to the chairman of
the visiting committee of the school, DR..
John w. Crumbaugh. He has taken an
active part in the preparations of all Of
the former observations and is again at
work on this years. The children know
by experience that if DR.. Crumbaugh has
any connection with the affair they are
bound to have good time and of course
they are never disappointed.
A pleasing program for the entertain.
ment is being arranged by the principal
of the school, Miss Louise r. Parm. The
program usually consists OF recitations
appropriate to Christmas. Then, too,
there is vocal and instrumental music.
There is no piano or organ i'll the school
but some of the pupils who are muslci-
ans bring musical instruments with
them. There is always an address by
some friend of the school.
/ On account of the lack OF an assembly
room in the building it is necessary to.
really hold two sets of exercises. The
children of the lower grades, whose ages
range from to s years, hold theirs
first in a downstairs room. The chill
dren of the higher grades, whose ages
range from 10 to l6 years, have their ex-
ercises up stairs.
The exercises are attended by parents
of the pupils, members of the School
Board and friends OF the school. Miss
Parm, the principal, is aided in the en-
tertainment by the other teachers Of the
school, Susan G. Lones, first assistant;
Mary O. Patterson, second assistant; M.
Julia Watson, third assistant; Flora W,
Woodson, fourth assistant.

The Difference.

The difference in the liberality of per-
sons who have lost their pocketbooks
containing money has recently been
demonstrated in Smyrna. A certain
party lost 500 in bills and of course was
very much worried over his loss. A
young man found the money and re-
turned the same to the owner receiving
a thank you for his trouble. Anothar
party lost a pocketbook containing 1925.
It was found by small boy and returned
to the owner who gave the youth 81.

One of the largest bands Of gypsies
ever seen in Delaware are now travelling
in the lower part of the State. The band
has fifteen wagons and numerous horses
and dogs. They are consulted by the
people who want their fortunes told at
every place where they stop. The men
spend most of their time in trading
horses.

try the Canadian farmer or lumberman

more cheaply than the American farmer

On the other hand if manufactured arti-

who by reason of his more extensive bust

GEN. wHEELER,s TESTIMONY.

Gen. Wheeler's testimony before the
Commission investigating the conduct of
the war, taken as whole, is exceeding
" favorable to the management at San
tiago and at Camp Wikof. Yet it is per-
fectly easy to pick out sentences which
contain criticisms and complaints, and
by parading them detached from their
surroundings it might be easily made to
appear that Gen. Wheeler statement in
stead of one of approval, rs was the fact,
was one of condemnation Indeed we
find this very plan made use of by one of
our exchanges, which is bent on dis
crediting the management of the army
for political purposes. His criticisms are
paraded by this journal in black head
lines, while any reference to his com men
dations is omitted. Persons who
get their idea of the nature of arti-
cles in newspapers from the headlines
aud there are many such-would be de
ceived by this exchange into believing
that Gen. Wheeler's testimony had been
strongly condemnatory.
There can be no doubt that much of the
impression of bad management of the
army camps and campaigns has been the
result of generalizing from particular in
stances of suffering or neglect Some
case of neglect or of brutality has been
reported, and the reader has jumped to
the conclusion that it was a fair sample
| of the treatment the soldiers had been re-
csiving, when as matter Of fact it was an
| isolated and exceptional case. OF course
the sensationalist writing from the camps
always picked out these exceptional cases
| to dilate upon. To narrate hundred
cases of good treatment and contentment
would attract no attention whatever.
But one case of mal-treatment would be
generally read and talked about, and Sc
the one case was paraded, while the hun.
bred were passed by without remark. No
| one will claim that the management of
the camps was perfect. Errors were COM
| mitted, and there may have been
| instances of criminal neglect. But " hen
the facts are all known it will probably
appear that the public has got much
exaggerated idea of the shortcomings
and deficiencies, conse quent, as we have
said, upon the parading Of isolated cases
of neglect and brutality and hasty gener-
alization from them.

The threat which is reported to have
been made by the Spanish government
that they would risk removal of HOSTILE
ties rather than surrender the Philippines
is undoubtedly pure 'bluff." Spain is
not in a position to make any effective
resistance to us in any quarter, while if
hostilities were renewed we might inf1ict
upon her great damage and compel her
eventually to surrender more of her colo
MES as the price of peace. There are
plenty of reasons why we should not de-
sire the Philippines and not insist upon
taking more than coaling station in
them, but fear of a renewal Of hostilities
need not be one of them.
