In few days Hon a A Lesueur
will retire from the Office of Secretary
of State Of the State Of Missouri, after
having filed that position continuously

proper al this time TO voice the unan-
inous sentiment Of Missouri, regard
less Of politics. by saying that 10
State eEer had q more competent,
loyal and faithful public servant in
any Office. He Is siDgularly fitted for
the position. He had been a soldier
and acquired habits OF discipline. He
had been a newspaper editor OF many
years standing, and in that fertile field
had reaped the fruits Of experience in
public affairs and acquired facility and
accuracy IN detail work He had been
q legislator and was familiar with the
forms as well as the substance of legis-
latiou. In all these occupations he
had achieved honorable distinction
He therefore came well equipped for
the discharge Of the intricate and
varied duties OF Secretary of State. We
are making 10 invidious comparison
when We say that the Missouri Depart
nert of State has been administered
in q manner that has made ii a model
for ali other States During Captain
Lesueur's incuubeucy not a solitary
duty has been neglected or delayed al
any time, but pronptness anG correct
ness have characterized the perform
ance of every requirement. The Office
has been conducted with absolute noo-
partisanship and inpartiaIly. and, in
a business way, il has challenged the
admiration Of everybody
The public will probably never know
how inefaoeably Captain Lesueur has
left his impress upon the legislation OF
the State. He was the author, while
z member of the Legislature, Of the
present law governing the Missouri
penltentiary. Its wisdom Is illustrated
in the fact that ours is not only the
model institution OF this character in

and comfort, but Is abs0Iutel! self-sus-

rnn ooMmITTEE WANTS MONEY

The Citizens Association has issued
a letter, which appears in another col
umn, requesting subscriptions TO en-
able It to carry on the work. That
funds are needed TO push the investi-
cation with yigor, goes VITA
out saying. This committee was con-
stituted at a public meeting, at which
a large number OF citizens expressed
themselves as favoiing this course OF
procedure, and it is only proper TO ask
them to show their good faith by help
ing TO back the movement with the
necessary funds.
All taxpayers are interested in this
investigation, interested financially,
and this movement is in the nature oi
an economical business proposition,
ard the prospect is that any sum given
TO prosecute the work, will return in
the form Of lessened taxes.
No one will question the necessity OF
having fund, and no one can have a
suspicion that a penny will be improp-
erly expended. In the nature OF things,
the committee Is debarred from giving
all the purposes for which this money
is to be used. but the expenditure of
every dollar will be justified. II may
be necessary 10 employ counsel, eX-
perts or clerks. and since the members
are giving their time without com
pcnsation. they should be backed VI
by a generous contribution OF the nee
essary funds.
The repositories of this fund have
been named, and we suggest THAT every
publlc-spirited citizen should send IN
some contribution at once. The amounts
will vary according to the ability cl
the individual but small sums will be
appreciated. This is the opportunity
OF showing whether you really believe
in reform. The wCrMngman is jus
as much Interested as the large prop
erty owner. and II such a person fecli
thlt ne wants n personal interest n
the matter he should contribute ,
small sum. 1t is a peoples invcstiga
tion and the people should take pride
in its conduct.

BEAUTIES OF THE OCTOBER
10 SKIES NOW AT THEIR HEIGHT


October comes upon the town with a

ton Of peace. The colors that give
character to the weeks between mid
September and the first sharp frosts,
the season just before and Just after
the autumnal equinox. is not that Of
the riDening foliage, though the leaves
have then begun to turn, but a sort of
intensified splendor in the sky,
whether Of evening and morning or
of midday. and a peculiar and har-
monious richness in the display of wild
blossoms.
Bright mornings find the suburban
skies cloudless and intensely blue,

green and as thick as in midsummer
one is at first inclined to think; and.
indeed, pon dull days il shows little
sign OF its loss; but those searching
soluen showers, which everywhere
splash and dapple the woodland carpet,
penet the inmost secrets OF the

Au gust unmistakably tell OF Autumn.
AS TO the fields they are still more
Uttered. Cropped or mown grass is
lsti.l freshly green, but wherever a sub
urban meadow has been left to itself
1t Is robed in splendors that neither
spring nor summer can approach. The
maiden year is appropriately clad in
the fresh pale pinks, delicate blues and

LEWES NOT TO BIZ COAL STATION
lhrgan and Gould Will Not Build TierS
There YET

Diligont inquiry at the offices of J..
Perpont Morgan and George Gould in
New York yesterday failed to elicit either
a confirmation or a denial of the rumor
that agents of the two multi-millionaires
have purchased or are trying to purchase
a site for a pier at Lewes. this State.
The rumor is based upon the suppOsi-
tion that Morgan and Gould figure that
coal can be shipped to foreign points
from Lewes more quickly and more
cheaply than from any other Atlantic
coast point, Lewes being many miles
nearer than any shipping point south Of
New York. Gould's determined efforts
TO acquire an entrance for his railroad
system into Pttshurg and Baltimore lend
additional color to the suppostion, as it
would be comparatively easy for him to
build a connecting link to Lewes.
J. Pierpont Morgan is on the other side
of the continent, but at his office it was
stated that nothing was known there OF
any purchase or any attempted purchase
of pier site at the Delaware town. Per-
sstent questioning failed to bring any
other answer. At Gould's office a writ
ten inquiry was sent in to the magnate.
II came back indorsed:
"There is nothing to say regarding III,

rumor is considered unfounded, especial

only a Republican, but the President
of the whole people, and his duty is OBJ
vious. And. after all, what is it to be
a Republican? Does 1T not comport
with the highest obligations OF citizen
ship? The party was formed as the re-
suit OF a demand for lofty political
ideals. and while 1t has not held all
civic virtue, yet it has represented SEN
timents and principles Of a high aver
age To be a good Republican, pri-
marily one must be a good citizen;

prospect seems drenched in the colors
OF the sky. The very shadows seem to
nave purple edges. A near landscape
OF tangled meadow and ripening
orchard with perhaps a suburban home
deep set in trees and shrubbery. seems
as If freshly washed in rainbow tints.
The effect is as Of undertones of color
that refuse to declare themselves To
the ordinary glance. The painter who
should see and put them upon canvas
would be accused Of importing the
tropics into this sober North.
An hour before sunset. while yet the
swallows are high in the air weaving
to the music of their own ripping
twitter intricate invisible nets. the
western sky for many degrees above
the horizon is a vast sheet OF old rose
and cool pink shot through with pur-
pie. while the moon floats faint
and ghost-like, seemingly the ONLY
cloud in the heavens.
The night repeats the splendors Of
the day. Half an hour after sunset the
ghostly moon warns to life, and the
few stars begin to appear in a sky
doub-y lit by the moon and the un-
vanished sun. and seeming deeper with
that ethereal illumination than at
MONDAY. The thin woodland roof
admits the moonbeams to every nook.
and that fairy light again endows the
thickets with the mystery of which
the sunshine robbed them.
The spider webs sparkle in the mel
low light as if powdered with frost.
The moonlight falls more softly and
stealthily than in midsummer. and the
shadows move in softest blurs and
Patches as the October night wind
plays among the trees.
That ceaseless and varied din of the
insect chorus has died awavl
to the sharp rattle of the katydid
and the shrilled melancholy OF the
cricket. The dim floods of moonlight.
the alternate loud call and low mono
tone of the insects, and the suggestive
slight chill in the air for the first
time hint to the heart of autumn's
teasingly sweet melancholy, and the
throat suddenly thickens as a mental
vision shows the sensitive watcher the
woodland wall etched with its mass OF
dun and serried twigs. the moonlight
sharpened to the keeness Of January. q

rnE pRrslpENr,s POLICY

The machine politicians in the var.-
Gus States are not overjoyod at the
prospect Of controlling the Administra-
ton Of President Roosevelt His whole
life and all his public utterances, If
they stand for anything, indicate that
the decencies of public life viii be pre-
served. He has been under pressure be-
fore. and has net finohed.
But the President is no mere idealist;
in numerous public urterances he has
expressed the sentiment that a good
citizen should stand with his head in
the clouds, but his feet upon the earth.
That means that enc is not TO be mere

Vlrg!nla,s Constitutional Comedy

From the New York World.
The Virginia Constitutional Conven-
ton is now considering ways and
means for side-stepping the Federal
Constitution and denying the suffrage
to its colored citizens.
The plan reported by the majority
of the Suffrage Committee provides
that every man attempting to register
shall be required TO explain the duties
of every officer for whom he intends
to vote. And the registrar. who will
of course be a white man and Demo-
orat, will be the judge Of the accuracy
Of his explanations.
The minority plan, presented by
United States Senator Daniel, seems
however. to be more thorough, and is
decidedly more humorous. He pro
poses that the registrar shall require
every man who presents himself for
registration to read and give "rea-
lsonable explanation" of any section Of
4 Virginia's State Constitution which the
! registrar may select And the "rea-
sonableness" of every would-be voters
exposition of constitutional law will be
entirely for the registrar TO decide,
I To expound a constitution is not
easy even for the bcst-trained Judicial
minds. as witness the historic decisions
/ and reversals on the five to four basi:
by the highest tribunal OF the land. TC

BedielloWs
From the Lewes Pilot
1t seems as though the Every Even
ing and the Union Republican have
united in an effort to fight the interests
of the people of Dewes. In view OF the
antagonism that has heretofore ex-
listed between these two papers, one
is almost compelled to believe that
the same influence is controlling both
papers In this matter. 1t is clearly
seen that the motives OF these papers
are not Of the highest order, and their
arguments have no foundation in fact.
No effort is even made 10 ascertain
the truth for Every Evening holsters
up its assertions by quoting the Union
Republican and the Union Republican
pays the Every Evening 'its" stereo-
typed compliment, you don't know
what you are talking about" We can
overlook the asinins stupidity of the

OF the Every Evening is amazing.

Il has come to our notice that a
number of persons, principally young
wCmen, are anxious to attend a night
school. and the Board of Education
may be asked to start one The re-
quest would be perfectly reasonable
and in accordance with a custom in
most of the principal cities. There are
hundreds of young men and women in
Wilmington who are employed during
the day. who would be glad TO profit
ably employ their evenings. The ex-
pense for teachers would not be heavy
and the buildings and appliances used
for the day schools could be made dc
double duty. In these times Of prog
ress no one ought to be denied the op'
portunity OF an education, and Il
night schools were properly conducted
we believe they would soon become
both profitable and popular.
