Among the open letters printed in
the Morning News this morning is one
from Mark H. Davis, Of Milford, com
nending the Morning News for its
advocacy of the election Of ]. Edward
Addicks. Now. who is Mark l.. Davis?
An Addicks or nobody man and a
down-State disruptionist who haunted
the legislative halls two years ago and
acted as the guardian angel of his
namesake. Mark L. Davis, an Addieks
or nobody representative from Milford
hundred. We are not surprised thai
Mark H. Davis commends the Mornint
News. It has become part and parce
Of the Addicks outfit, and should b
welcomed by all Addicks men. Blu
side by side with this Davis letter an
communications from T.. Tatnall War
ner and Howard Pyle, two OF Della
wares most respectable and represen
tative men, denouncing the Mornin
News for its act Of political perhd.

In report Of his administration of
the affairs Of the Philippine Islands
since May 8, 1900, General Macarthur.
after speaking Of the establishment of a
republican form OF government in the
islands, says: "1n the light OF exist
Ing conditions, IL is difficult to realize
that there is any possibility Of such
a future for the islands, especially 50
as at present, and for many years to
come the necessity OF a large Ameri-
can military and naval force is too ap-
parent to admit OF discussion. On the
other hand. however, there are many
encouraging conditions TO sustain such
conviction. For example, in the
Philippines there is no dynasty to de-
stroy, no organized system of feudal
laws to eradicate; no principles incoa-
sistent with republicanism to dlsplace;
no adverse aspects of nature to over
come These people, fortunately, are
intelligent, generous and flexible and
probably will yield quickly and with
absolute confidence to tuition and ad-
vice when thoroughly Informed OF
American institutions and purposes. %
Realizing, as they do, already, or soon
will realize, that the American govern
ment is determined to put down all
disorder and establish stable form of
government before doing anything else,
1t is more than likely that the intelli-
gence, generosity and fexibility CT the
natives will inspire them to submit
gTaciously to American law and teach
ing much sooner than even General
Macarthur believes they will.

MIR. ChamberIain's Thanks.

An Ohio editor Mr.. Tom Moore, of
the Jackson Sun, has had letter from
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. 1t seems
that Mr. Moore whose abilities as a
writer orator and poet have made
him so well known throughout Ohio
has been distinguished by receiving
thanks of the Secretary of State for
the Colonies. Mr.. Moore some time
ago, printed in his paper a poem
called English, Strike"
An English friend of Mr.. Moores
was SO much pleased with the lines
that he insisted that Mr.. Moore send
them TO England to the brilliant
statesman now at the head of the For
eign Office. Mr.. Moore reluctantly did
so, and lately received the letter con-
tanning Mr. Chamberlain thanks for
his note enclosing the poem. How
ever Mr.. Moore may feel, his friends
regard the incident as very nattering.
