WHAT The DELAWARE AND
EASTERN SHORE EDITORS ARE
THINKING OF.
In the appointment Of John Bassett
Moore, formerly Of Delaware, to the po-
sition Of first assistant secretary OF
state, Mr.. Mckinley has done well in
thus bringing to the service of the gov
ernment, in these times of interna-
tional complications, one of the bright
est luminaries among the International
lawyers of the world. This is a broad
assertion, but it is nevertheless a rec
ognized fact.-Milford Chronicle.
Mrs. Tome, the bank president, will
heartily disprove the calumny that a

So far as it is possible the men who
are to be taken in Delawares quota
should be single men. 1t is not well.
at least at this time for married men
to go to the front They have duty
TO perform at hcme, and ii is not ad-
yisable, until the emergency arrives,
for the families OF such men to be left
without support and turned over to the
care of the community. 1t is not fair
to either the men or their families.
There are enough able-bOdied unmar-

The guardsman who declined to en-
list in the United States service be
cause he had a wife and several chill

gave a valid and practical excuse. In
fact, unless upon an occasion of the

vices Of every able-bOdied man, man
so situated would have no moral right
to go to war and practically leave his
family to be a charge upon the charity
on the pubic.-Every Evening.
President Mckinley has shown great
wisdom in holding out against the de-
mands of politicians and sensational
lists for instant action, knowing, as
they did, how absolutely essential it
was to have a reasonable amount Of
time in which to prepare for war;

1t is a well-established fact that pig
pens are the sources Of many diseases
and malignant epidemics, and they are
not permitted to exist in any well-regu-

make it necessary to enumerate them

KENT's ABSENT LAWYERS.

Persons attending the Kent county
court this week were impressed by
the absence of so many heretofore IA

or other circumstances had removed

INSURANCE AGENTS TROUBLES.

No more indignant man could be
found Saturday than Frederick H.
Symonds, an insurance agent, who had
an office at No. S39 Market street.
Constable Green armed with a war
rant went to Symonds' office and levied
on the office effects on complaint OF
Gibbons and Moore, real estate dealers,
who allege that Symonds owes them
5000 for rent. When the constable
reached the office he found SymOnds
moving out.
Several furniture wagons were back
ed up in front of the office and were
being loaded when the constable
ordered the men to desist. His orders
were complied with and the furniture
was taken to Stidham's auction room
where IL will be sold unless the judg-

What do cur local football players
and golf players think of this? A
Western newspaper has come into the
possession Of a high-caste Chinaman's 8
diary Of travel in America, and has
printed a translation. The critic says
the Americans consume enormous
quantities of whlskey. "They hurry with
everything, instead of resting like civil
lized persons; they never enjoy them
selves by sitting quietly on their an
cestors' graves. They kick balls vio-
lently without pay, and even sit down
to the same table with women, while
the American dancing consists Of spin

Berlin is shuddering at the gruesome
discovery that there is a trade under
standing between professional nurses
and undertakers. Competition between
the latter has raised the regular COM
mission paid to a nurse to 80 per cent.
Of the cost of a funeral. The fact that
a doctor has made this state of things
public, with his suspicion that the un-

profession also, adds to the cheerful
