position, exeHsing everything for Ad-
dicks and complaining that the "Morn-
ing News seems determined to be satis-
fed with nothing but the conviction
of Mr.. Addicks.' This is unfortunate
as the "Morning Newsn has taken
pains to point out. The '.Times" says
circumstances have modified the judg.
ment Of March 18th. nThe modification
is the unsupported rumor 'that thirteen
Democrats agreed to vote with the
"Regulars" for Levi q. Bird for U. S.
Senator. 1t says eight Democrats re-
fused to agree-presumably three of
them voted for Mr.. Addicks, and others
were bought but failed in face of the
opposition to deliver their votes.
The position of the Smyrna Times"
is unfortunate not only because it lends
its support to Addickism, which is
boodleism in its worst form, but because
in its close relationship to Hon. John
III. Hoffecker its views are interpreted
as those of the Congressman also and
they mean nothing more nor less than
weakness in his vote when he shall
come to the polls at the next election
a second term or second nomination
being customary. The clinging to Adj
dickism in mistake 10 say the least.
1t means Republican defeat.

THE Georgetown ''Union Republi-
can" calls the investigation of the rib
cry charges in the Senatorial contest
San endeayor to injure the Union Re-
publican Party by bounding its leading
MEMBERS" That is queer idea from
a man who has frequently excused his
alliance with Addicks upon the ground
that from $50, 900 to $50, 1000 was neces-
sary at each election in Kent and Sus-
sex to defeat the Democrats, and Ad-
dicks had the Doodle. If Doodle would
be needed for the votes why not its use
justified for the LEGISLATOR There is no
difference. Every movements points
to an effort to win the election of Ad-
dicks by bribery Of the members, and
the claim of ''hounding" those engaged
in the matter is but to gain the SYM
pathy ef the honest but bat deceived aena-
bers of the Union Republican Party.
If,there was a"hounding"which SHOULD
bring out the whole truth and land

offering bribes then were it we'll for

THE recent Legislature failed to fix
the salaries of the county officers and
they will continue under the old sys-
tenn. This was duty and the mem
bers Of the General Assembly are due
the severe condemnation of the tax,
payers for the failure unless it can be
placed on individual shoulders. The
people should know who are the men
responsible for the continuance Of the
fee system, which in many cases is nothr
ing short of legal robbery justified by
years of practice.

"Oh, your $3.50 suits are leaders
you don't make money on such

But the $40 suits are well worth
a dollar and a half more, and the

are not matched in any clothing
store we know of. You must not
look in this store for "all-wool suits
at five dollars" for "all-wool" in
this store means a fabric in which
the acid cannot find trace of cot
ton. And clothing from this store
must be up to the John Wanamaker
standard, which admits nothing
"cheapish" in fabric or tailoring.
John Wanamaker clothing is not
made "iust to sell''-it must give
the satisfying service that brings the
purchaser back to US season after
season.
Of the new suits, these hints
At So. 50-Suits of black cheviot or fancy
cassimeres, in dark or light colOrs and
newest gray checks; coats are the new
3-button cutaway sack; vests are single
or double-breasted.
At $10-Double-b breasted Sack Coat Suits
of cheviot, with facings of Skinner
satin. Also 3-button Single-breasted
Sack Coat Suits of worsteds, cheyiots
and fancy cassimeres.
At $12 and $15-Suits in much greater
variety of fabrics and shapes of gar
ments-all the new ideas in vests-the
new trousers widths; and in the coats,
hand-felled collars and lapels.
At $15-Cutaway Suits of black unfnish-
ed worsteds; coat lined with silk; vest
and trousers to match; or you may
choose handsome ight-colored trousers
if you prefer them-and price is the
same.
:. At $20-Suits of worsteds and cassimeres
from Americas best mills, or of i'm
ported fabrics; silk, part silk and fine
satins in the makeup; some coats lined;
some half-lined. The shapes are varied
and good. Splendidly made, stylish
suits. You may pay much more for
less trustworthy clothing.

the business of supplying Wicker

And the business has grown

buy safely here, because we showed
only safe kinds.
The canes used in the wicker fur
niture here come from India. There
is a China reed-not good enough,
according to our notion, while there
is selection as well in that from
India. The care we give the busi-

and today we open the wicker and

Rockers are 81 to Sill; chairs are
So to SO, and sofas SIS to $18.
These prices on two hundred and
fifty sample pieces produced as
models for the seasons work. We
never urge people to buy, but you'll
thank us for the hint, that to save a
fourth to a third from regular fair
prices, it is necessary to choose from
