noosEvELr. HANNA. AppIcKs.

The following pleasant little Cdi.
torial, which will make good Sunday
reading. Is from tine New York Press
and the Press Is Republican If III /.
We think it hits some nail,
on the head. not with a hammer, bui
with a pile-driver:
In kicking Addicks and Addicks-

has repaired the most serious
blunder of Mr. Hannas career as
chairman of the National Republi-

votes this "astute" political mann
ger was ready to risk a nation.
The chalrman's excuse was that
The could not 'go behind the re-
turns, Addicks having presented
credentials of representation to the
national organization. This is.
1t may be noted, the sort OF plea
that does not save The pawnbroker
from being called and convicted "a
fence when VIGOROUSLY stolen
goods are found in his possession.
Well, President Roosevelt has
taught him how TO go behind the
retumms" He has contemptuously
disregarded the fact that Addicks
has bought regularity" in Della
ware by choosing THE postmaster
and collector of Wilmington from
the mpurchasable irregulars In
this he lras saved the party from
that sort of incalculable harm

'shrewdness" do the work of his
moral sense is capable Of commit

The Question

Once more our arms In Africa nave get
another check.
BOnEon's command is what you might
call a total wreck.
Look at the maddening figures! Ben
son killed outright
And eight other gallant officers also
killed in the fight,
Fifty-eight non-commissiOned officers
and men,
Who fell upon the veldt and will never
get up again.
The question, my lords and gentlemen
that here ask of you,
Is, What are We going to do, Ell? What
are we going to do?
VIZ thought we had Boaha pocketed,
With a paltry 300 men,
And The first we knew HE was up and
at us again.
We sneered at them. called Them
"guewi.las," and didn't think
that they
Would cast a shadow Of any size on
our coronation day.
But now we've found, as we've found
before, that there's something
wrong,
Ilhat instead of being guerrillas tlheyr
an army still and strong,
And the question that must be an
swered, the question that's up Ia
you,
Is, What are we going to- do, eh? Whai
are we going to do?

We don't know why the press of the
country should continue to say unpleas-
ant things OF Delaware's great gaseous
statesman. We fail to see how they
can overlook his great service in dis
pensing sweetness and light. II is too
bad that when he alone is contending
for a great principle that all the people
Of the country, the press and the pulpit
should raise their voices against him.
How sad 1t is to read the following
from the New York World:
1t is difficult to decide whether cour-
age or good judgment is the more con-
spicuOus quality in President RoOse-
ve-'s summary dealings with Gas
man" Addichs.
Solely by the use OF money and in
pursuit of a seat in the United States
Senate by purchase, Addicks has made
himself the Republican machine in
Delaware. But the President shows
that he is on the one hand confident
that the people are against Addicks and
on the other hand courageous and con-
scieniOus enough. in such dilemma
TO take chances on hostile Delawar,

Convention of 1904 and a Democrat,
Delaware that fall. He has not only
refused to defer to Addicks; he ha.
even refused TO confer with him. II,
has put anti-Addicks men of the mos
vigorous type in the two importan
Delaware Federal offices.
Here is a new use of the power o
Federal patronage-to break a boss, no
to build him up. II is like Theodor
Roosevelt at his best. It is a promis
ing beginning.
