HANDY AND SINGLE TAXERs

For several years the Democrats IN
New Castle county have been feeding
the Single Takers on promises made to
the ear to be broken to the hope At
last the Single Takers have discovered
that they have been the victims Of
double dealing. This year, with one
or two exceptions. they have nominat-
ed a ticket OF their own, and announced
that they intend to stand by their can
didates. although not averse to making
an iron-clad agreement with certain
Democratic legislative candidates that
they viii vote for them II the candi-
dates win pledge themselves to vote
for two bills, the object Of which is
TO make Delaware an experimental
field for the followers Of Henry George.
Harold Sudell. one Of the Single Tax
leaders. has endeavored to negotiate
with the Democrats through Former
Representative J.. Irving Handy, but
that luminary of Organism does not
take kindly to the proposition. He de-
clines positively 70 have anything to
do with any schemes or propositions Of
a political nature which Mr.. Sudell
has on hand. He accuses the Single
Takers Of working in the interest Of
Mr.. Addicks. He declares that when
the possible result Of the spurious, cut
throat ticket is generally understood,
it seems impossible that sincere and
patriotic Single Takers should vote it,
and that the present attitude CT Mr.
Sudel and his colleagues is enough Ito
make Henry George turn in his honor
ed grave"
Then he proceeds to read them a lee
ture almost brutal in its b,untness and
accuses them Of being "out for q dickel
on a very low level"
We may look now for reprisais, for
the Single Takers. most of whom arc
Democrats by nature, cannot regard
Mr.. Handy's ietter to Mr. SudeE in any
other light than that Of a defiance and
an Insult that no future amends ear
efface.

"The Republican party stands for
law, sound money, protection, and
sends glad tidlngs not only to its
own people. but to all peoples of the
earth. Our opponents are the same
Bourbons that they have ever been. "
So said Simon Wolf, a distinguished
orator from Washington, in Turn Hall
last evening, and he struck a respon-
sive chord in the heart, mind and un-
lerstanding of large audience. Mr.
Wolf handled the issues Of the day in
a manner which convinced his hearers
of the righteousness of the Republican
cause, and the Simon Wolf Republican
Club did the party in Delaware a sig
nal service in getting him to come here
and address our people.

Delaware has not increased much in
population in the last ten years and
most Of that increase is due to what
may be regarded as a slow growth On
the part OF the city of Wilmington.
Compared with many other states. the
percentage of increase, $40, is small,
indeed, but it must be remembered that
we have been absorbed so completely
in local politics during the last decade
That really We haven't had any time
to think about increasing cur popula-
ton. We are thankful, however, that.
in spite Of our neglect, we have not
fallen off any, but, on the contrary,
can point with pride to an increase of
16,242 on our area of $50 square miles.

GOOD ROADS AND DEMOcRAcy

Some days ago we told the good
roads advocates in Delaware that the
plank in the Democratic state plat
form promising good roads legislation
was a mere sham and a vote catcher.
This week we have proof OF It from
this confession made editorlally by the
Smyrna Gail, which is the personal
organ Of Chairman Salisbury, OF the
Democratic State Central Committee:
Some state Republican papers are
dwelling on the promises of their party
to give wheelmen better roads. The
proposition before the last Legislature
was. If we remember it, to put stone
roads around Uncle Barnyard's swamp
farm and make him pay about one
half the cost of it, OF course Uncle
was willing to let the farm 60 for the
road. but wanted to hold on to his two
cows and the old horse. If ever the
Republican party gets in full power
here the whole shooting match will be
up at auction.
This sneering allusion to the goo,
roads bill Of two years agt
we refer to the Delaware whec,men
and other good road advocates wh'
had it prepared and sent to Dover. 1
the newspaper OF the head of tn
Democratic organization in the stat
treats the past efforts Of the good road
workers so contemptuously now, wha
Of the future?

In one respect at least Smyrna is a
queer town. It's population is divided
into two factions. One firmly believes
that the Creator followed out Duck
creek and filed Il with water for the
sole use and benefit Of one particular
steamboat which Is controlled by Re
publicans and Union Republicans. The
other is convinced that the Lord in
tended the tortuous stream for tripar-
tite purposes, and e. Is back OF a
steamboat controlled by Democrats.
In the matter OF making shipments
many merchants and farmers draw
the political line between the two
steamboats, with the same religious
care that they do between the tickets
ON the blanket ballot. A Republican
or Union Republican who ships stun
ON the Democratic boat loses political
caste with every consignment, while
Democrat who patronizes the Repub-
can boat becomes a pariah I'm the
tents Of the Bryanite. The situa-
tion has not as yet become so acute as
to make such shipments in defiance OF
party affiliation good ground for chal-
lenge at primary elections. but, II the
heat OF the controversy continues to
Increase in intensity, radical amend
ments to party rules, framed to deal
with such offenses, are not beyond the
range OF possibility.

Thus far the political campaign in
Delaware has been free from personal
abuse, but there is a growing disposi-
tion on the part Of Democratic news
papers of the rabid order to make un-
fair and undignified attacks upon John
HUM, the Republican candidate for
governor. Such attacks almost in
variably lead to reprisais, and IL the
Democrats persist in conducting their
fight against Mr.. Hum along such
Tines, Democratic candidates must not
feel aggrieyed IL the Republicans meet
them on ground Of their own selection.

Willard Salisbury, Jr., chairman OF
the Democratic State Central
Committee, would have the gen.
eral public believe that the Demo
cratic party in Delaware is not
disturbed by serious dissension. Tc
the best OF his ability he keeps the
cloth over the party's sore spots, but
there are certain things he cannot
cover. Take. for instance, the condi
tfons existing in the Sixth Representa-
tive district in Kent county, or. as i
more commonly is called. the "Shoe

lock down there in the contest for IN

The Liberals in Great Britain en-
deavored to make out of the war in
South Africa what the Democrats here
are trying to make out OF the war in

A Woman's Question
Published by Request.

Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above
A womans heart, woman's life,
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
AS a child might ask for q toy
Demanding what others have died to
with the reckless dash Of a boyq
You have written my lesson of duty
out;
Man-like you have questioned me;
Now stand at the bar of my woman's
Until have questioned thee.
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirt shall be
whole;
| require that your heart shall be true
as Gods stars,
And pure as heaven your soul.
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef;
I require a far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for stock
ings and shirts
/ look for a man and a king.
,v-@- -t-sss' s'1riss> -rs sa
A king for a beautiful realm called
Home,
And a man that the maker, God,
Shall look upon as he did the first,
And say, 1T is very good"
I am fair and young, but the rose will
fade
From my soft young cheeks some
day;
VIII you love me then, mid the falling
leaves.
As you did mid the bloom Of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman hrds a heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand and
true.
All things that a man should be:
If you give this all, would stake my
life
To be all you demanded of me.
If you cannot do this. a laundress and
cook
You can hire with a little to pay:
But woman's heart and a young
woman's life.
Are not to be won that way

Military activity on the part Of the

a small audience on Imperialism and
