THE Oregon and Iowa, it has been for
some weeks understood, have been Or
dered to join Dewey's squadron at Ma
Mia, and are almost ready to sail. This
is we'll. But let the fighters sail east, not
around the Horn. The distance between
New York and Manila by way of the
Mediterranean and Suez Canal, as is
evident from a globe or mercator map,
is not much greater than the sail around
the Horn. Let the Oregon and Iowa,
accompanied, perhaps, by the Indiana,
New York, Massachusetts and Texas,
start at once for the Philippines, but let
them all linger in the vicinity of the
Iberian peninsula for a brief rest before
the two batt!eships push on to their ulti.
mate destination. The effect upon The
peace negotiations in Paris and the ma
mana pow.wow in Havana would be
wholesome and instantaneous.

THE spectacle of Levin Irving Handy
and Richard Rollins Kenney objecting
to resolution at the Democratic state
convention, expressing sympathy for the
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard and hope that
he would recover from his illness, is
certainly a sight for the gods and little
fishes 1t carries its own comment
Many old-time Democrats will declare
that Mr.. Bayard was fighting the battles
of his party almost before these up
starts, usurpers and demagogues were
born.
We are not surprised at any atrocious
breach of common sense and decency
that the petty politicians Of Dover might
make. That he had the audacity to try
to shape the policy OF convention when
he is resting under scandalous crimi-
nal charge may surprise some who do
not know the man.
We had expected slightly better things
of Handy. His objection to hope that
Mr.. Bayard might live was an atrocious
piece Of demagoguery. 1t will fail in its
end, and this candidate to misrepresent
Delaware in Congress will find that self
respecting Democrats will rebuke him at
the polls. Handy has shown woeful
lack Of knowledge of the feelings of the
Democrats of this county.
We merely refer to this incident to
show to what depths the so-called lead
ership of the Democratic party in Della
ware has sunk. We do not presume that
Democrats would take our advice, but
the best thing they can do is to throw
overheard this whole motley crew. No
wonder the Smyrna CM is asking,
"Where are the leaders of the Demo-
cratic party"-7he Nor';"g Nc"s.
Such disgraceful exhibitions will char
acterize all Democratic meetings in this
state as long as men OF such stripe con-
tinue to ofiiciate as Democratic party
leaders. There is no help for it. These
men who pose as leaders are capable OF
only such actions and thus the party has
to suffer. Such demagoguery has been
made part and parcel of the men and
seeks to exhibit itself on all state occa-
sions, bringing down added disgrace on
their heads and increased humility and
defeat to their party. Demagogues elimi-
mated and the Democratic party would
merit the appreciation of the voters. A
continuance in leadership of such men
who display such atrocty will soon
swamp the party.

WOMEN serve on Boards of Education
in Massachusetts and serve we'll. Mr..
Frank A. Hill, secretary OF the State
Board of Education of that state, attests
this truth. Give the secretary of the
Board of Education of this city chance
to attest the same truth, as relates to this

their views of how schools should be

piled in the schoolrooms OF this city.
Enthuse the home in the school. The
cooperation OF the home with the school
must be largely brought about through
women. Mr.. Hill says: "With the rapid
increase in the number of highly edu-
Gated women, with the formation of
strong women's clubs for educational,
literary, philanthropic and other work,

THE policy Of persistent mendacity
employed by the Erery Evening in its
discussion of political subjects raises
the question of whether it is the policy
of fool or of knave.-The Morning
Neus.
This is too much. Worse and more
OF it will not suffice in the expression
to be given the present status of Samuel
Bancroft, Jr's predicament.
Mr.. Bancroft, you have made charges
against the Levy Court of New Castle
county which you have not made good.
This has been your policy in all other
matters as well as that of the Levy
Court.
Now, Mr.. Bancroft, The Morning Npws
wishes to know whether you, as the
director of Erery Er"u;"g's policy, are a
fool or knave.
Mr.. Bancroft, TIE SUS and the public,
as we'll as The Morning Ne~s, are anxious
for an answer to that question.

CONSTABLE WAS TRICKED.
Edward NOhler Escaped From an
Officer by a Clever Trick,

Constable J. McAllister OF Mount
Holly Springs, Pa, arrested Edward
Mohler, who is wanted here for an at
tempted assault on his halt sister, who ia
but II years of age, but the man played
a trick on Officer McAllister and
escaped.
While being conducted to Jail by the
constable, Mohler asked to stop into a
house which they were passing and bid
his grandmother good bye before being
locked up.
The officer allowed the man to do as
he wished and they both entered the
dwelling. On entering the door an alter
cation took place between Mobler and
Mr.. Wink, who lived in the house. Mr.
Wink grabbed up gun and got between
the officer and his prisoner. The officer
stepped out of the door, leaving Mohler
in the house. The door was closed, and
Constable McAllister fearing that his
prisoner would escape by the back way.
went to the rear of the house to intercept
him. While he was watching the back
Mohler slipped out the front door again
and escaped to the mountains and is

fewer people enter your establishment

know that. These questions are pre-
liminary to little discussion upon the
subject of Profitable Publicity.

ascertain exactly how many ne,c Gus

Run over in your mind how many OF
your old customers have moved away or

Isn't it worth the time and the trouble
to look into these little points in con.
nection with your Advertising? Have
you collected and banked more money
during the past week than your books
show for the corresponding period OF
last year? If not your Publicity has not
been profitable.
Every Advertiser in America who
has bought Profitable Publicity can show
an increased volume OF business each
