First Vacation in Twenty Years

John Klund, one of the boss finishers
in the works OF the Jackson and Sharp
Company, has gone to Atlantic City for
a week or ten days. At first glance this
would seem a commonplace trip, but it
is the first vacation that Mr.. Klund has
had in twenty years. In that time, by
working over hours, he has made more
days than there are working days in
the twenty years. The record is a re-
markable one and due entirely to his
ldisinclination to lay. aside work for
pleasure. His friends in the works are
afraid that now he has seen Atlantic
City and enjoyed its pleasures, he will
want to make up for lost time by go
ing down at least once a week.

DR.. MARSHALL AT HOME

If there is any place on earth where
a candidate for office who has any of
the qualifications for the position to
which he aspires should look for sup
port it is at home; in his own ward,
town. district and county. Local pride
is touched nearly always and on many
occasions it even breaks down party
lines and gives candidates an abnormal
vote. We desire to note an exception.

at least two hundred Union Republi-
cans in lower Kent and upper Sussex
who have notified his workers that if
the Addicks cabal wants their votes
this time It must take him off the ticket
and nominate a candidate upon whom
all opponents OF Democracy can unite.

on the selection made by the Addlcks

GIVE us A GOOD MAN

In a little while IL will be incumbent
upon Governor Tunnel to appoint a
Municipal Court judge and committing
magistrate for the city of Wilmington
to succeed Judge Ball, whose twelve
year term is about to expire. That the
appointee will be a Democrat goes
without saying. At the same time the
office is a judicial one, increasing in
Importance from year to year. and Re
publicans have an equal interest with
Democrats in seeing il carefully and
properly administered. The appointeC
should be a man whose personal anc
political character is in keeping witt
his legal attainments> and who will
possess the confidence and respect OF
the public
The court has become an important

than that of being a staunch party MAJ

Being a man Of fair mind and full
cognizant Of the responsibilities OF hi

ator.", He must have discovered that
the voters in his district failed to take
kindly to his candidacy, for he failed to

lowed mp that failure with the declara-

that his candidacy was no laughing

for such an office is serious enough a

courage the candidacy OF Mr.. Callahan,
hoping that the Democratic convention
would fall into the trap and put him on
the ticket But the office of prothono-
tary is far too important to be dealt
with along such narrow lines 1t comes
too near to the foot Of the throne Of
justice to be trifed with. The nomin-
alton of Mr.. Callahan by the Democ-
racy Of this county would constitute an
insult to the bench, the bar and the
people.
II we mistake not, the last time that
Mr.. Callahan shone conspicuously in

reeds interfered somewhat with her aim.
Mr.. Hackett secured eighty-six rail
birds. James II. Winchester was in the
same cunning party and bagged ninety
eight rail, being an expert shot. The
birds were in fine condition.
After the sport a delightful spread was
served to the gunners and pushers mt the
