SENTIMENT AND POLITICS

New York aud Philadelphia nowspa-
pers are filling many columns with arti-
cles on the duties OF good citizens. The
need IS not so much to tell men what
they should do, as to- inspire them to
do IT. II the preachers work were only
to teach men what to leave undone, the
task would be easy; but the real prob
lem is how to arouse a spirit OF deter
mination so that conduct will follow
mental assent
10 is a wo.l-known fact that senti-
'mcnt plays a large part in the affairs
of ihe world. and il is important thai
il should be applied TO public duty
Conduct IS rarely determined by judg.
mont alone. but by sentiment based
upon H. Judgment without feeling i.
ant TO be inert. while feeling without
Judgment RUNS into insanity. In the
consideration Of all affairs of a public
MANURE we need men with large heart.
and great brains; men who love
their country and its institutions. and
who exercise their intelligence in for
initiating plans and policies for her
honor and welfare.
There is a demand for uhe patriotic
Citizen whose ballot Is to be cast, not
solely fer the dollar which may be
gained, but for the general public
welfare The motive must be a pride
in the State or municipality. One pro-
tects the honor and virtue Of his family
on grounds above mere material inter-
est, and some such high idea Should ap-
ply to the political conduct OF every
citizen. Love fer country, and pride in
local institutions. should not be mere
dreams, to encounter the sneers OF the
sChemer.
In every campaign there are many
arguments based on dollars and cents
and it is a favoIdte statement THAT
what touches a mans pocketbook,
touChes his heart;' but II is a question
whether the doctrine has mot been car
ried too far II admits OF varied in
terprotations; and many men who
would scorn TO sell their votes. yet per-
suade themselves into casting a ballot
against their convictions OF right the
motive being some personal favor. We
need a greater insistence on lofty civic
ideals.

A MACHINE COURT

II THE judiciary is not TO be kept
clean and above the suspicion of low
politics. what is to be the end? Fortu-
nately in Delaware we have never had
occasion to question the integrity of
our judges. Decisions are not always
to our liking, but that they are the
result OF improper motives, has not
been suspected.
For several years our neighboring
State of Pennsylvania, has been afflict
ed with decisions, that TO the lay mind,
appear to be at variance with the high
standards formerly held by her courts
of Justice, It will be recalled that a
few years ago, when a certain water
scheme was in progress. out of which
grew an awful scandal, a decision of
the Supreme Court was in the posses
sion OF Philadelphia jobber, before 1t
was rendered at Harrisburg. where the
count was sitting.
During the last remarkable session OF
the Pennsylvania Legislature. the au-
aaclty of the machine knew no bounds.

HANNA DOES NOT SHARE PRESIDENTS
VIEWS IN OFFICE DISTRIBUTION

came to St. Louis from Southern
States, pedged to vote for anyone
he might name (but had TO be pledged
over again, and at an equal cost, tc
vote for the existing gold standard
which was not included in the original
cOmpact) the public gained glimpse Oi
the rottenness of THE party machinery
in Louisiana, South Carolina, Ala

was not so much in evidence. as the
nomination of Mckinley was a fore

MIR. Roosevelt has long entertained
decided opinions as to the right of 'tht
Southern people to as much consider
alton under a Republican as under a
Democratic Administration, and could
mot take THE same view as Mr.. Hanna
of the righteousness or patriotism oil

States where their party consisted OF
nothing else. He has, wherefore, sought
the advice of THE best men at this. ir-
respective of the party or race. ON his
Southern appointments. instead of call.

to do, and then doing it and holding
Hanna resposible for the result.
Naturally, this has been emDarrass-

come upon him without abundant and
entirely courteous notice. 1t places him
in the position of being unable to carry
ont some of the plans which he had
forecast TO his followers in the South
and on THE strength of which he held
their allegiance"

The special Washington correspond

"A sensational turn has been given
to the fact Chat Senator Hanna does not

to the way to distribute Federal offices
in the South, eliminating in the state
ment THAT the Senator is about to issue
formal proclamation denouncing the
Rooseveltian theory, and then resign
mis- office as chairman of the Repub.
hcan National Committee.
THAT Mr.. Hanna may resign his
chairmanship is. and has for some time
been, among the possibilities. He was
anxious to quit the arduous duties Of
the place i'm the campaign of 1900, but
yielded to the earnest pleas of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and remained at the
head Of the committee. It was the
understanding that he would have
sought release after the election. but
was persuaded out of the idea by some
OF his associates. who wished to re-
store THE old party machine and con-
troll the action of the con-
vontion of 1904. They had
no specific candidate in mind, but
wished to have their hands SO ON the

Pennsylvania has there been such ex-
element as is now prevalent in Butler
county, a great oil center several years
ago, but, until recently, practically
abandoned as a worked-out territory.
The cause is the discovery of a new

deep, or 900 feet below the third sand.
IT opens the possibility of new opera
