REGULARS RESOLUTION WAS
ABSOLUTELY INSINCERE

From the Georgetown. Delaware Democrat.
i < = A special resolution was
adopted looking forward to harmony in
the party, but the personnel OF the Con-
vention and the committee show that il
is ''only tub thrown to the whale"
and is not expected nor desired to accom-
plish anything. The main object of the
convention seemed to be to place itself
right with the administration, and in &C.
cord with the national organization. Ex-
cept for the resolution mentioned, State
Issues we're entirely ignored, nothing be-
ing said about j. Edward Addicks and
his friends, against whom such mighty
warfare is being waged. \ =

COLONEL DU POINTS MACHINE

From the Georgetown Union Republican.
We take our hats off to du Pont and
his machine. By the Holy Moses, whom
Willis is languishing for, Col. Henry A.,
has become Boss as is a Boss. For
nearly four long years, our boiling con-
federates just made the air pulsate, with
their clamor OF how Addicks "ru!ed the
convention" They admitted there was
convention, however, but the recent
convention including the primaries, was
the most select affair OF the season. Now
let Willard Salisbury, or whoever has
possession OF the Democratic State Com
mittee, call convention and allow no.
body but Salisbury men to vote in the
Democratic party. What peace would
insue.

MR.. ADDICKS WILL REMAIN
In REPUBLICAN POLITICS

From the Georgetown Union Republican.
The Morning News is dense. It cer-
tainly by this time ought to know that

good waste paper. Mr.. Addicks is in
Republican politics. He is the acknowl-
edged leader of the majority OF Republic
can voters and their sole choice for .
seat in the Senate OF the United States.
He is not going to get out. Thousands OF
men who know their own rights in poll
tics and free government propose to see
that he is not forced out. If by any un-
foreseen possibility such an event should
occur just let the News stand off and
watch Union Republicans, in their re-
talitory slaughter. A fool some times
knows enough to stop fighting the in
evitable. If anybody or thing has to
get out of the party, suppose the Morn

LEGISLATURE SHOULD ACT

From the Milford Chronicle.
As the new workhouse for New Castle
county will take the care Of all prisoners,
except those convicted Of capital Of
fences, from the custody OF the sheriff,
it has been proposed that etectrocution
be made the statutory mode Of executing
sentence Of death. This would do away
with the morbid curiosity which gathers
great throngs of people to witness a
hanging and be more humane form OF
putting criminal to death. 1t is worth

OF everyone, it took new start In life and
bore rich fruit. What was the source OF its
new life2 That was the query put BY all
who knew 1t. An EXAMINATION revealed Its
secret. With a marvellous vegetable In
stinct it sent out sh Dot which ran along
and over narrow sheep bridge, and
rooted itself in the rich loan on the
other side OF the brook. From this rich
loan 1t drew its new life. Even 30 our faith
in Jesus Christ bridges the River OF Death
that flows between earth and heaven, and
the souls OF men who see this and know
this send out the shoot of faith. and this
shoot; running over the bridge between
earth and heaven, roots itself in the spirit,
ual realities beyond, and draws spiritual
life from the very fuIlness OF God: BLESSED

Christ, who, according to His abundant
mercy, hath begotten US again unto living

Which Road VIII You Take9

a y You may have heard the story Of the
man who, being obliged to be driven over
a dangerous mountain pass, tested the
coachmen in this way: He asked thre(
drivers how near they could 60 to GER
tain preclpice and not overturn the cart
riage. One said he could drive within 50
many inches; another, a few inches less|
but third said he should keep just as fai
away from the dangerous edge as he could
get. That coachman was engaged. Thert
was no need OF going near the precipice,
for near by there was another road-safa
and sure-for 1t hugged the inland rocks.
We are all travelers--are all taking q
Journey. There are two roads before Us,
On one road there are, daily, many acci!
dents, men and women going over the
preciplce. It Is called Saloon Highway,
Moderate drinkers take this road because
1t Is exciting and gives pleasure for time.
They are not afraid of danger, but many
fall over the precipice OF intemperance
into the gnlch OF drunkenness and ruin.
- The other road is broad and safe, called
Temperance Road-secure from Danger
for It hugs the solid rock OF Total Abstt
nence.

The Spiritual Straight-Etlge.

One OF the best tests OF the experience c.
perfect love is, not our emotions, but our
fulfllment Of the thirteenth chapter Of First
Corinthians. This chapter is the straight
edge, which laid alongside Of our experience,
will surely show US whether we have 1t OF
not. II we fulfill this measure, we need not
look at the experience Of others to see
whether ours Is like theirs or not, nor need
we doubt as to Its possession. st. Paul says
OF love, at suffereth long, 1t is opposed
to haste and passionate expression OF our
thoughts and feelings concerning others. II
suffers their treatment without irritability or
vindictiveness. 1t is not in haste to treca Gut
the motives OF others. 1t shows itself in ex-
ample Of meskness and forbearance. It Is
not overcome OF evil, but overcomes evil
with good. 1t loves It's neighbor, when
perhaps there Is nothing lovely about him
loves him not for bis sake, but for Gods
sake, aud the sake of the truth. It seeks to
be as kind to the failings Of others as It
knows God Is kind to its own faults. 1t
treats others as it desires God to treat 1t.
The question to be decided is not how
straight and uncompromising we are on
'the doctrine" nor how much we Shout nor
how easily we can weep, nor, how ecstat-
ically we can glow, but. have we the love
that suffers long?-Christtan Standard.

society belle still rides in a desultory
fashion and still keeps correct and
up-to-date wheeling costumesih good
order in her wardrobe. There is not
much difference between the bicycle
costume as prescribed by fashion now
and that worn for golfng, only the
golf skirt is little longer. As wom-
en- are riding in much longer skirts
at the present time the majority of
them make the one costume do for
both.
=: Another thing, the rainy-day or
short skirt Us so much the vogue,
even for clear days, that several find
a place among ma bellies gowns.
The two new ideas shown in the large
cut will serve equally well as bicycle,
golf, outing or rainy-day gowns, and
are reproduced from Harper's Bazaar.
! The slde-pleated shirt-waist of the
first one is a most attractive model
for sny shjrt-yaist, either of wash
goods or silk, for utility or dressier
wear. The front has centre-stitched
band and three deep outward-turning
pleats from shoulder to waist. The
back is similar, only with box-pleat
in the centre. The design of the skirt,
with its unusual yoke effect, is es-
pecially suited to heavy galatea piqne
or very light weight two-toned cloth.
This yoke is quite fashionable with
New York women, and gives quite a
trimmed appearance to an otherwise
plain skirt.
The salient feature of the brown
covert cloth one, trimmed with
stitched bands, shown at the right,
is its charmingly unique little jacket.
This is belted in at the back, and
fashions autocrats aver it is sure to be
popular, as it is SC practicable, besides
looking we'll either in wash goods or
heavy material. The hat is also a
good one, as it is soft and becoming,
yet it shades the eyes, too. 1t is OF
the latest style, heavy linen, corded
with black velvet and trimmed around
the crown with bands and rosettes OF
Z the velvet.
