He found 1t. and last evening he an
nounced his finding With the new
Constitution in one hand and the opin-

AT first Mr.. Alexander was inclined
to act on an old opinion prepared by
City Solicitor Conrad-or, at least, he
pretended to be SO inclined; but, having
weighed that opinion In his own great
digestive mind, and called in his next
best legal friend, he recalled that the
provisions Of the new Constitution and
the opinion Of Mr.. Conrad were in di-
rect conflict, and that the integrity and
dignity OF the fundamental law must
be upheld
II we are not misinformed, Mr. Alex

Mr.. Alexander is dreamer with
back-action tendencies. He has made
himself the subservient toy Of the bee

of political circles. He is a willing vic

WEnDEn 10 HIS IDOLS

But for the aid OF the Republicans,
John II. Hoffecker never could have
been elected to Congress. Although his
Republicanism had been compromised
by affiliation with Addicks, the Repub-
licans. in their efforts to obtain har-
mony two years ago. made him their
nominee. and he was supported by
both Republicans and Addicksites. The
Republicans believed he was n fair
minded man who, in recognition of
what he owed them, would compOrt
himself in such manner officially as
not to render himself offensive to
those to whom he owed his election
They soon were disillusloned. From
the outset he made It manifest that he
deemed It his mission not TO strengthen
Republicanism, but 90 build up Ad
dicksism wherever and whenever op
portunity afforded. He tried TO worl
into the good graces OF the McKinle!
administration that he might give e
Addicksites the fruits OF Republican
victory. Thwarted inthis, heafterward
displayed an even greater desire toserv
Addicks. He practically declined L
recognize Republicans as his immedi
ate constituents, and seldom answere,
letters addressed TO him by them oI
matters OF public or political import
His last unwarranted offense is film
with the Republican National COngres
sional Committee a list OF Addick
State Committee members and ignol
ing entirely that more representatiy
and influential state committee {
which Postmaster Hugh G. Browne

significance but that Of political meal
ness and ingratitude, shows how clos
ly Mr. Hofecker is welded TO his idol
and increases his discredit in the pul
lie eye.

HARMONY

Written for the Evening Journal.
Oh harmony. sweet harmony,
Ia the song we love TO sing;
We've sung the old song Oft before,
We've made the wcllIln ring,
With mighty shouts Of harmony;
Yes, we sung the tune so slick.
That we landed many sucker
Before they saw the trick.
Wen bring the old song out again,
our cause is getting weak,
For AddickS now Is shooting off
As usual once a week.
And Frank Alice is similar to
A boat that's lost "a mast,
While Layton and the governor
They get no better fast.
The tide has now commenced to turn.
We've reached high water mark:
To hide the hlunders OF our men
And methods that are dark,
Wo'l raise the cry OF harmony,
Perhaps wei fool again
The gentlemen, we fooled before,
When they thought us honest men.
SO sing It's praises. loud and long.
in shrill, high tenor key,
While we grin and think like Puck"
"What fools these mortals be-
Wen take the tune to Washington
And serenade them there,
And up to Philadelphia move,
For Addicks pays the fare.
So harmony, sweet harmony,
Is now played by the band.
Yes. we're all daft on harmony,
II Of the Addicks brand,
And harmony without him,
We can't afford to take,
For we are bound by golden chains
That Addicks will not break.

ANOTHER LOCAL ISSUE

Philip Q. Churchman and Charles G.
Kurtz, auditors OF the finances OF New
Castle county, have made their report
TO Judge Spruance. That report con-
stitutes a severe araignment OF the
Democratic Levy Court IL shows gross
extravaganza In detail and the Demo
cratic party cannot defend the offense
of its Representatives. Wherever the
report touches the Levy Court It shows
mismanagement OF the financial affairs
Of the county. The taxes have not been
collected as they should have been;
much OF the money collected has been
squandered, and the excess IN expendi-
lures for general purposes amounts TO
nearly $4,000. II seems that wherever
opportunity afforded to increase sxpen-
ditures Il was taken advantage of, and
that wherever there was opportunity
for retrenchmcnt, it was ignored.
Warrants have been juggled and used
IN lieu OF receipts until there is no
positive public knowledge of who got
the money those warrants represent.
II is apparent that croolIedness exists,
and that legislative investigation OF
the acts OF the Levy Court is impera-
tive Unfortunately several months
must ensue before such an investiga-
tiOn can be had but, when 1t Is insti-
tuted, the investigators should be true
and capable men who will conceal
nothing because 1t is a Democratic
body Democratic taxpayers as we'll as
Republican taxpayers are alike inter
ested in knowing that the money they
pay is applied properly for public pur-
poses. and that It is not being misap-
piled or squandered.
Democratic politicians talk about
raising local issues Can they defend
this Levy Court? VIII they try? 1t Is
an issue. but they hoped II would not
be. The report of the auditors is time
ly. It is campaign document which
will influence the primaries as we'll as
the. general election, and, we hope alsC
will influence the Legislature.
