THE SUNDAY MORNING sHlNE

One municipal court.
Cne municipal Judge.
One board of police commissioner
One whole police force.
One deputy city solicitor.
TWO lawyers.
That is the combination which is
struggling to solve the question OF
whether or not it is sin and a menace
TO public morality and comfort for a
bootblack to shine shoes on Sunday.
Blue laws are at a discount these
days. Even the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture has passed a special law permit
ting hootblacks in Boston to ply their
vocation on Sunday, the ground being
taken. and sustained by almost unani-
nous vote. that 1t is a public necessity.
While Boston Is working itself free
from Puritanical customs. Whining
ton manifests a disposition TO drift
into them. and the vital question now
is. Shall bootblaeks, who make a pre-
'carious living at best, be punished for
making mankind better looking by
shining shoes on sunday?'
From the standpoint of morality, IL
seems to us that it is no more an Of
fense to high heaven for a man 10
black his own shoes-Or compel his
servant TO do it-on Sunday, than it is
for him to give a bootblack nickle to
DO it for him.
From the standpoint of art The SUI
premacy CT the bootblaek is unques-
toned
From the standpoint Of human hap
piness, the bootblack and the nicke
prevent many family Jars. for there il
nothing much more savage than a man
who gets up on Sunday morning with a
knowledge that he has to black his owl
shoes. and then, when he gees to The
box. discovers that the children or Tn,
fox terrier have spent the week pay
ing with the brushes and that they ar,
no where TO be found.
We believe that il the question were
put to popular vote the Sunday morn
ing shine by bootblacks would win on
at the ratio of 9 to 1, and in our opin
ion both the Municipal Court and tn
deputy city solicitor can spend thei
time to better public advantage thar
by hothering with a question which /
founded upon a factional fight anon
the bootblacks themselves and not up0
public ethics and morality.

United States senators will be elected.
We don't know where he gets his in
formation, but the fact remains that
Mr. Addicks ought TO be expelled from
the National Committee and a Repubn-
can elected to succeed him. for he has
used the Office and his opportunities to
betray the party and deprive it Of de-
served representation in the United

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Mt Easy to Handle

From the New York sun.
The adjournment of the Delaware
Legislature, a body Of fifty-two mem
bers. and the smallest State Legisla-
hre with the exception of Nevada,
which has forty-eight members, after
having withstood the pressure of Ad-
dicks. shows that small legislative
bodies may be proof against pecun-
larry corruption as well as larger ones.
Heretofore the claim has generally
been made that "small Legislatures
are easy to handle" Nevada, with a
Legislature of as. has a population of
but $4,000. while Delaware, with 81
members. has 1S5,OO0 The Georgia
Legislature has a membership OF 2S3,

National Chairman Hanna evidently
doesn't know the difference between
lstubbcrnness and State pride. II he
had been as solicitous for the welfare
Of the Republican party Of this State
as he was to please Quay and tickle
the overweening ambition of Addicks,
The latterwould not have been recognized
by the Philadelphia National Conven-
tion and party treachery and wide
spread debauchery and disruption
would not have had the stamp of Re
publican regularity placed upon them
by the national organization. The
simple truth OF the matter is that Ma
uional Chairman Hanna feels that he
owes the people Of the United States
an explanation, and, in making it, he
seeks to unload his responsibility on
the shoulders of other people The only
honorable course open for him to pur-
sue is TO drive Addicks from the field
and expel lin from the National Com
mittee. This matter has become a
national scandal, and all the leading
Republican newspapers in the country
are denouncing the Republican ma
tional chairman fer lending aid and
encouragement 10 a man of Addlcks'
character. The fight has gone far be-
yond the borders of Delaware, and
now engages the attention of the en-
tire country. The Republican party
at large is aroused by the dastardly
and ruinous work Of AddiclSs, and the
national chairman must act to rid the
National Committee Of any and all re-
sponsibility for the gasman, who has
become a stencil in the nations nos
tIils.

MR HANNA Ann Ma. ALLEE

National Chairman Hanna repuuldles
the statement that he has any particu-
lar interest in the election OF Addicks
10 the United States Senate. Ills re-
pudiation comes rather late In the
game, and after Addiclxs has been
whipped cut Of all semblance Of can
didate by the Regular Republicans;
still we arc pleased to see that our ma
tional chairman deems the present
situation sufficiently momentous TO
lead him to repudiate responsibility for
our national committeeman, who dead
locked the legislature and prevented
the election OF two United States sena-
tors. 1t is a pity that Mr.. Hanna did
not speak earlier on this vital question,
for Mr.. Addicks and Senator Alice gave
the world TO understand that they had
the moral and material support of Mr..
Hanna; it was printed in all the lead
ing newspapers Of the country and went
unchallenged by the national chairman
until the people OF Delaware mad set
tied the question for themselves and in
their cwn way.
AS Mr.. Hanna has felt it incumbent
on him to make a statement repudiat-
ing responsibility fer Addicks and his
deadlock. let us say a few words TO
him.
On the morning OF Friday. March g.,
the day set for the final adjournment
OF the Delaware Legislature rdmor
reached Dover that Addicks would
withdraw in Difference to a demand
made upon him by National Chairman
Hanna. When that rumor was called
to the attention of State Senator J..
Frank Alice. chairman of the Union
Republican State Committee. conf
Dental adviser OF Addicks, and the
man in charge of the gasman's senator
ial propaganda, he said with much en-
phasis
1T is risIiculOus Mr. Hanna
is'back Of us i'm everything we
do, giving us every encourage
mcnt. nnd is AS solid as ~ rock. .
There you have it-right from Ad-
dicks headquarters. III, as Senator
Alice says. Mr. Hanna was back of and
encouraging the Addicl1sites in every
thing they did he was back OF and
encouraging the deadlock and the
double vacancy.
But Mr.. Hanna fatty contradicts Mr.
Alice. and it resolves itself into ques-
tion Of veraoity between them.
Now II Mr.. Hanna will follow up his
contradiction Of the Addicks claims by
taking proper and effective steps tc
oxpel Addicks from tho Republican Ma
tional Committee, and give Delawar,
Republicans decent representation
thereon. it viii be unmistakable evi
dence that Senator Alice has misrepre
sentod him and that he is not an Ad
dicks partisan

If the Republicans put one ticket
in the field in June, they will win;
but If two tickets come out, 1t will
mean a Democratic victory. From
present appearances there will be but
one ticket in the field, but it would

that would result in a Democratic vic
tory. It remains to be seen what over
lures shall be made before war to the
