LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Plea for a Good Cause

TO the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: At the regular monthly meet
ing OF the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. which was held
on Tuesday much interesting business
was transacted. The information was
given out that there had recently come
into the treasury. the annual dues for
two deceased members. This evidence
of desire to perpetuate the interest
once held in a good cause is worthy of
emulation. and is recommended TO amy
who. on behalf of themselves or Of de-
ceased relatives, may desire to show
their interest in the cause of wronged
childhood. For the information of
sucn. the annual dues in the society are
81. Money is always needed in order
that the good work once inaugurated
and, 50 far. successfully maintained,
may not lag.
What oil is to machinery from
which work is expected, Just that
money is to society that would per
form its functions. Legislative aid
granted bienniaIly. and annual dues
are practically the only sources of in
come from which the S. p. c. c. may
derive its working capital
The treasury of the society has often
been perilously low, but never, ON this
account, has any case in which a
ohlld's welfare is concerned, lacked an
investigation.
The laws under which the society
operates, are State laws, enactments
made from time to time, by our sew
eial Legislatures. That these laws
may not become null and void and the
cause of neglected childhood lack
championship, the society must. from
time to time, bestir itself to obtain
needed funds.
There are good parents and bad par-
ents. and it is to restrain the bad mar
ents and guardians from wilful and
wicked abuse of their children and
wards that the S. p. c. c. acts as the
States accredited agent. The State
must have a care over its young. that
nhey be not perverted and ill-used.
hence the reasonableness of
the request that the STATE
Legislature make its aid to
the society payable annually hereafter
that the usefulnesssOf the S. p. c. G.
the States representative. be not
curtai,ed.
Il would stir the heart OF the stout
est man TO pity, If the claims upon the
society's attention could be made pub
lie May the great, sympathetic heart
that beats for suffering humanity
throughout our State. never fail to give
an answering throb to the cry of suf-
fering childhood X.

NOT A PARTISAN MEASURE


poor legislative tact yesterday in call
ing up for passage the Wilmington
High School loan bill for s15OOOO in
the face OF the bitter partisan fight for
and against the Robertson bill to
change the form OF our Levy Court
from i've TO seven members, elected
from the seven senatorial districts in
the county. He might have known
that, after the Levy Court bill had
passed in the face of the protests Of the
minority side OF the House III was no
time TO bring up any measure OF grave
Importance and requiring calm
thought and deliberate and passionless
action. He must have known that
some Of the Wilmington representa-
tives had not recovered from the re-
sentiment growing out OF his backing
and-nllng actions on the city revenue
bill But he lost sight of all that, call
ed up a bill requiring a threerfourths
vote. and as a consequence it lies dead,
a victim Of his own lack of discretion
In handling an important measure en-
trusted to his care.
We do not bclieve that the Demo-
cratic members win persist in their

any Regular Republican who votes for
Addicks has sold out, we believe that
he would have had seventeen or eigh-
teen votes by this time and for this
reason we say that It is one Of the po-
litical misfortunes Of Mr.. Addicks that
such a widespread suspicion should ex-
ist concerning all who feel inclined 10

his fight.
Evening journal., 1901-02-16
MISEoRIuNE OF MR. AnpIcKs

It is one of the political misfortunes
Of Mr.. Addicks that Republican mem-
bers Of the Legislature who have stood
out against him during the oarllerI
stages OF a legislative session cannot
go to him when the session is well-
advanced without throwing themselves
open to the public suspicion THAI they
have been bought
II Is also one Of the political mister
tunes of Mr.. Addicks that Demccrahc
membersof theLegislature cannot alb
sent themselves from the joint sessions
at critical periods in a senatorial CON
test to which Mr.. Addcks is a party,
without the people OF the State jump
ing at the conclusion that they have
sold out.
These suspicious may be unfounded;
they may have their origin solely in
consequence Of the general public
knowledge of the elementary princi-
pie of Addicksism that every man has
his price But, whether founded or
unfounded, the Republican who does
not line up for Addicks at the outset,
loses all public confidence and respect
when he goes over to him later in the
session. He may be prompted by an
honest motive, and not a dollar may
be involved in the transaction, but all
the affidavits drawn by all the notaries
in the State would not convince nine
tenths Of the people that such was the
case. He is a marked man from that
time forward, and for years his good
name and fair fame are whispered 10
death in all three counties. You hear
such statements as these concerning
him:
He stood out for the stun until he
got ii"
They say he was TO get $4,000, and
that he ran to Philadelphia time after
time and only got $1,000 and horse
You know, no money is paid here in
Delaware"
i hear that Blank went to Philadel-
phia and got the money fer himself
and Blank and Blank, and that he
kept it ALL The other two fellows
didn't get a cent"
Such things as these have served to
keep men from voting for Mr. Addiclxs
who might have done so for the sake
Of what they deemed to be party ex-
Dedlency. but who could not AFFORD to
take to themselves this lead of public
suspicion, which not only would crush
them down, but also weigh heavily
upon the members OF their families.
For a Democrat TO vote for Mr.. Ad-
dicks, or to absent himself from the
joint session. carries with it immediate
ruination. There are no Whispers. as
ts the case when Republicans 10 over

for it goes from mouth to ear and
poisons the public mind thoroughly
before the subject Of criticism knows
that there is a discrediting whisper
aioat
Fortunately this session Of the Leg
islature has afforded the public tongue
no excuse TO indulge In such whispers.
The thirteen Regular Republican
members. while divided on candidates,
are united against Addicks; the six

for MIN. while the twenty-five Demo-
Gratis are bound by an iron-clad agree
