NEWSPAPER OPINION
In The Neither REGIONS

From the Milford News and Advertiser.
The Addicks papers, especially the
Union Republican, are bowling dis
mally, the Evening journal has gotten
under their skin. There has been
much to say recently as to which set
of factional papers is Republican, and
which Is not. and we have made few
remarks upon this theme, ourselves.
But after all. there is no justification
for She existence of any journal unless
in It's editorial utterances its purpose
is TO educate and up,ift. The highest
excuse for papers existence is to
stand for public and private decency.
The Addicks press by this standard is
consigned to the lowest pit Of the
neither regions. It has fostered corrup-
tlon, shielded crime, sold itself out and
still appears before the public with a
sunny countenance and a lie on its
lips crying. IL ann holier than thoul'

TO LECTURE on JAPAN
Miss DaniOrth Will Speak in Union Church
Next Sgnday

Miss Mary Danforth will speak in
Union Church next Sunday evening,
under the auspices OF the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society of the M.
T.. Church.
Miss Danforth's work has been ex-
tensive, and her talk, therefore, will
be Of great interest. She spent five
years in Japan. and is familiar with
the terrible devastation wrought by
the earthquake which visited that
country in 1891. About 10000 houses
were wholly destroyed, and 10000 dam
aged. Ten thousand people were in
stantly killed, 100 900 others horribly
mang,ed and 100000 made homeless.
A word picture OF this calamity as
we'll as Of many others, will be painted
by Miss Danforth. who has the repu-
tation OF being among the most enter
tanning women OF the Methodist
Church.

For a period OF several years there
has been a steady Improvement in the
conduct OF our volunteer hremen when
engaged In the work Of suppressing
confagration. The fst and water
fights between the members Of rival
companies which used TO disgrace the
department are things OF the past, and
as a general thing the best Of disci-
pline and feeling prevails without any
impairment of the commendable rivalry
to be first at a fire and the most sue
cessful in lighting it, These things
being true, it is unfortunate that any
trouble should have arisen at the recent

believe that the officer Of the depart

MARYLANp FEARs CoNTAGIoN

Maryland is alarmed about the prev
alence of smallpox in Sussex county
and the possibility OF it spreading to
the Eastern Shore Its State Board OF
Health has communicated with the
State Board Of Health of Delaware, and
the following suggestions for mutua
protection are made:
First-The construction and organi-
zation OF a pest camp or hospital and
of a camp or house Of observation.
Second-The assembling of all per-
sons now sick with smallpox at one
place and all OF exposed persons at the
other. under constant medical and po-
lice surveillance.
Thlrd-General vaccination through
out the county.
Fourth-Thorough disinfection OF all
infested houses, with the destruction
OF such articles as cannot be disin-
fected.
Fifth-Daily official reports to the
local health officers OF Caroline. Talbot.
Dorchester. Wioomico and Worcester
counties. Maryland, concerning the
number Of new cases, their location. the
AtA"f NiA'AN vi kNiHuIa WulN IlldN nINNk
the quarantine, and such other matters
as may concern the safety OF Mary
land.
Slxth-I'he appropriation by the au-
thorities OF Sussex county OF enough
money 90 cover the cost of the work.
We assure our Maryland friends that
the Delaware authorities are exerting
their best efforts to stamp out the
loathsome disease. and that they are
succeeding admirably, by isolation and
Intelligent treatment, in reducing the
number OF cases. But It takes time to
deal with an epidemic of this kind. and
we have no doubt that the Board Of
Health Of Maryland fully appreciates
the fact Most OF the precautions sug-
gested in its letter to our State Board
had been taken in exact or modified
form before its letter was written.

Bishop Coleman preached seventy
sermons during the Lenten season. We
do not believe that there is any other
bishop in the United States who can
make such a showing He is a man
of remarkable energy, making use OF
all known means Of rapid transit TO
enable him to annihilate time and
space in the keeping of his many and
widely-separate engagements, and
wherever he goes he Is received with
honor and listened 10 with most earnest
and respectful attention. He is not
only a bishop, but a man among men,
and one OF the secrets Of his power as
Ia church worker is that he can meet
any man on his own level and ON equal
terms, no matter whether 1t be in the
church, in the mansion in the shop, or
DIN the field. In fact, we do not believe
that there is any bishop In the country
who is nearer and dearer TO the hearts
of the people of all classes, or who
devotes himself more rntrlngly and
unselhshly to the upbullding Of hui
manity, and the advancement OF Chris
ltianity. In short, he is the paoples
bishop.
