ONE THING OVERLOOKED

In discussing this Addicks business
there is one important matter which
the philadelphia Inquirer persists II
ignoring. although it frequently has
been called to it's attention. The Regu'
lar Republican members Of th'
Legislature refused, both before
the primaries and the general
election, to pledge themselves to *
into caucus with the Addicksites, ane
gave it out publicly that they would
not vote to send Addicks to the United
States Senate. With that explicit un
derstanding they were nominated and
elected, although in some of the dis
tricts the Addicksites made a deter
mined effort to defeat them and cleo
Democrats.
After the Legislature had assembled
these Regular Republican members ex-
pressed perfect willingness to g
into caucus with the Union Republi-
cans If Addlcks would withdraw. lie
refused to do e.; his friends in the Leg
islature declined to make him do IL
and the deadlock and double vacancy
resulted.
There can be no change in the situ-
alton while Addicks remains in the
field. The decent Republicans Of the
State never will assist in his elevation
10 the Senate.

Young men who pass final examina-
tions in reputable colleges must have
good sense, and yet it is astonishing
to what heights of foolishness their
enthusiasm viii carry them at times.
Fer instance Immediately after it was
announced that sixty-eight OF the
eighty-one seniors of the Medico-Chi
College, Philadelphia, had passed their
final examinations and would receive
the coveted degrees. the lucky ones
vented their enthusiasm by smashing
one ancther's hats. In ten minutes not
whole piece of headgear was left
and the young men marched to Chest
nut street where they paraded and
sang with much enthusiasm. They were
joined there by twenty-eight members
Of the dentistry class who had passed
and clothing suffered again. Such en-
thusiasm serves to stimulate the hat
trade, and that is about the best that
may be said for 10.

Christ WIN Care

Written for the Evening Journal.
Be comforted, weary soul.
Christ. the Saviour cares for YOU:
Though the billows round thee roll.
He alone can take thee through.
BE comforted, weary one.
There is work for you TO do;
The race is not yet run.
But the Lord will take you through.
Be comforted, Christian soul,
Falter not. never do.
When afflictions surges roll
Look 10 Christ to bear thee through.
BE comforted. then, poor soul.
To this blessed friend be true:
And when you see old Jordan roll.
He'll be there TO take you through.

REPAIR THE oAusRWAY

We advance two propositions, the
reasonableness of which will appeal
to all men:
Firsu--That the causeway leading
from Market street bridge southwark
shall be raised nearly two feet and
put in proper condition.
Second-That the bitches draining
the marshes east and west of the cause
way shall be cleaned thoroughly. and
all Instructions to a healthful circula-
ton Of the water be removed before
hot weather comes.
In its present condition the cause
way, which constitutes one Of the most
important approaches to our city, is a
public disgrace. In some places it is
under water, while its entire stretch
southward from Market street bridge
20 the city line is full Of hills and hol-
lows and deep ruts. which make driv-
ing and hauling thereon a torture to
both man and beast. Indeed. in some
places the roadhed is so bad that We
hicles have to be driven on the side
walks to the discomfort and detrimen
Of pedestrians. That part of the cause
way controlled by the Levy Court i

been shelled. It is the end controlle,
by the Board Of Directors Of the Stree
and Sewer Department, which is il
such state OF disrepair, and no timl
should be lost in remedying the de
fects existing. II is nuisance to thos
who drive for business and pleasur

Of It.

ties and the marsh owners to act, foi
the causeway is a public nuisance and
disgrace, and the bitches are a public

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Nobody Better Than Addicks
nm The Now York World.

From the New York World
The gasman who for years has vain
ly sought an election to the Senate
from Delaware said to the Legislature
at its last session. "Addicks or no
body" The honest courage of seven
Republican members and the tirmness
of the Democrats made the choice mo
body" and the prospect is that Della
ware will be without representation in
the Senate at the next session of Con-
gress, as Governor HUM will not call
an extra session of the Legislature
until Addicks withdraws.
The Mark Hanna end of uhe admin
istration is so desperately anxious for
two additional members of the upper
house of Congress that its influence
was openly used to secure the election
Of Addicks. The effort failed, and the
seven Republicans with a conscience
were lionized in the State and applaud
ed throughout the country. Now, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger
Delaware Is to be punished
for this honorable example
of incoTuptible independence. "The
State has been deprived of the
United States engineers Office, seed
distribution has been cut of and the
plans for rural free delivery of the
mails have been stopped"
The Ledger prints interviews with
prominent business men OF Whining.
ton on this attempt TO bulldoze the
State into disgrace, and a large major
ity say, vacancies to the crack of doom
rather than Addicks" This is the right
spirit. and is highly credilable to the
little State whose big neighbor has re
elected Quay.

Surface indications point to a decided
swing Of party sentiment in favor OF
the nomination of Former Secretary
of State J. Harvey Whiteman for the
Democratic mayoralty candidate. Until
this week DIR. j. Harvey Spruanco
seemed TO lead in the race, but now
some Of the more sanguine Whiteman
adherents and leaders boldly assert
that their fayorite will win hands
down." Two things are operating
against DIR. Spruance. The first is that
he is backed by Mayor Fahey, whose
administration is repudiated by many
Democrats and exceedingly unpopular
with the people. The second is that
David w Hughes will draw largely
from what naturally would be the
Spruance strength, and thereby in.
crease Whiteman's chances of nomina-
tion. 1t is contended that Hughes will
poll from 500 to zoo votes, and that
fully nine-tenths of them would go to
SprIance If Hughes were not in the
field Mayor Fahey is anxious to OBJ
tain the nomination OF Spruance be-
cause he wishes to perpetuate his
power in local politics, and also be-
cause Peter J. Ford his political en-
emy. is supporting Whiteman There
is more or less personal feeling in th,
contest and the bitterness may carry
over from the primaries to the Jun,
election.
