Some one has said that there is
little use i'll advertising unless it is
done intelligently, and it is I'M
doubtedly true. The mere act of
placing an advertisement in a news
paper is by no means a guarantee
that results will come from same.
The first and most essential thing
to be considered in newspaper ad-
vertising is the selection of the me
dium-a fact which is too often
overlooked and which leads to
many disastrous failures in the adj
vertising business. A cheap rate
does not necessarily mean a good
advertising proposition; in fact it
is almost always a sure indication
of the reverse. The newspaper
with a small circulation can afford
to take business at any price it can
get, while the newspaper with a
good circulation cannot afford to
accept business at less than reg
ular rates. Advertisers very often
do not consider this, and as a re-
suit, failures in the advertising line
are by no means few. The selec-
ton of the medium is of the first
importance, and the preparation of
the copy to be used is of the sec
ond. The rate is the last thing to
be considered. # business men
would look at these things from a
business standpoint they would
very often be able to save them
selves a considerable amount OF
good cash. For after all, circula.
ton is the main thing to be con
sidered in newspaper advertising

Political Prostitution.

There is something supremely
ridiculous in the idea of political
moralists consorting with and aid
ing the Democrats to defeat the
Republicans in this State. If any
body will take the trouble to sift
these self complacent moralists out
of the political grain of Delaware
out of the Republican grain-it will
be found that they are or represent,
first, the Republicans who sat down
in this State and allowed the Dem
ocrats to win and hold the State,
for forty years, by the most unscru-
pulous of political fraud; allowed
the Democrats to debauch the cleo
torate in every conceivable way
the open buying of votes; by
- open robbing of the county
ire RES; by wholesale disfranchis.
ins epublicans.; by the falsi6ca
ito. ection returns; by riot; by
the ion of law and the mis-.
use pvernmenta1 authority
While Sc things were going or
in the open, while Democrats were
Boosting of them, the Anti-Addicks
ties who are posing as politica,
moralists, were fighting among
themselves over the little mess O.
political pottage doled out to then
by Republican National Admins
trations. Since the grip of thes
moralist spoilsmerl on the Repub
lican party has been broken, the,
have consorted with Democrats
and have helped them in their ei
forts to defeat the Republican part
It is these moralist who profess t
make a religion of politics, and VIII
under that guise, defend what the

THE coming City Election in

okets will be so arranged that

will be abandoned. The
Union Republicans will have the
full ticket printed under the Star,
while the du Pont faction will have
it under the Eagle. Each ticket
will be the same, except in the
emblem; and, as the strength of
each is pretty accurately known,
the vote by ward and precinct will
show if any treachery is attempted.

IN Wilmington the Democrats
lave nominated ex-Secretary of
State, J. Harvey Whiteman, las their
candidate for Mayor, and strong
city ticket to run with him. Mr..
Whiteman is clean, honorable and
able in every way to lend dignity
to the efice-should he be so for
tunate,as to be elected but this is
not likely to happen, as the Repub-
1icans for once, appear to be per-
fectly satisfied with their nomina-
lions. 1t is encouraging to any
community when honorable men
like Mr.. Whiteman are chosen to
represent the people in high places.
The weak spot in the Democratic
nominations is in their councilmen,
and this is more than likely to
carry down their entire ticket.

MRS. SEXTON INJURED
She Was Struck by a Horse on Dex- ter Avenue Yesterday
 Evenin1


 While crossing lower Dexter Avenue near Court Square at $40 o'clock yester- day evening Mrs. Jack Senton was struck by horse drawing a light buggy, knock cd to the pavement and painfully injured.
 The occupants of the buggy were Percy Nelson and Lucille McMillan, white wo- men. They were driving west on the Av- enue and were evidently watching the street cars. Mrs. Senton was walking leisurely across the Avenue going in a southerly direction when she was struck by the horse. She screamed and fell to the pavement almost under the feet of the animal. The horse, a spirited animal, was drawn in by the women and the Nell son woman jumped from the buggy.
 The screams of Mrs. Senton attracted the attention of passersby and e number of men rushed to her assistance. She was apparently suffering intense pain, but bore her suffering bravely. She was ten- derly picked up and boAe to a nearby drug store where an exa@Gulnation of her injuries was made by a surgeon. In the meantime Mir. Senten. who is employed at '"The Fair." had been advised of the accident to his wife and he hurried to the drug store. It was found that no bones had been broken and as soon as Mrs. Senton had recovered from the shock she was able to walk to a carriage which conveyed her and her husband to their home. 1l5 Alabama Street.
 Later in the evening Percy Nelson and Lucille McMillan were arrested by Pat rolmSn Davis and Hill. They were taken to police headquarters and confined in a cell pending hearing this afternoon.

A GOOD STORY

A certain young lady in del- icate health was advised by her doctor to take a half-teaspoon- full of Scott's emulsion of cod liver oil after dinner-once a day-and found herself almost suddenly growing robust.
 So small a dose is by no means the rule; the rule is whatever the stomach will bear not more. Another rule is: take it on every least occasion, but not too much; don't over- do it. ---.,

THIEVES WERE ACTIVE
NUMEROUS CASES REPORTED
 TO POLICE DEPARTMENr.
Pat Morgan Lost s10o, Paul Parker Lost a Watch and Louis Lyon Bought Bogus Cot
 ton Receipts

Thieves got in their work in Montgom- cry yesterday and half.a dozep places were visited during the hours of the Wild West parade in the morning It is thought by the polict that the stealing was done by persons who travel with the Wild West exhibition That is, not at- taches of the show but rogues who make the same towns the Wild West Show does in order to get in their work while the people are disengaged in their interest for the show.
 Pat Horgan. a North Perry Street .mer- chant. was struck for s100. MT. Morgan had the money in private drawer in the safe door was open but the drawer was locked. When the parade passed along Monroe Street most of the merchants stepped to the doors to view the parade. MT. Morgan did likewise and while he was witnessing the parade some one went into the store. prized open the cash drawer and stole $loo. There is no clue to the Mir. Horgan was in Selma Thursday and was in the crowd when Sheriff Blackwell was robbed of a diamond stud. Mir. Hor- gan came home Thursday night and told ing the thieves. Now the same thing has happened to him.
 The residence of Captain J. C.. Cheney
 
 day morning about the hour of the Wild West parade. The theives secured a gen. tleman's gold watch, ladies gold watch, an opal ring and diamond ring and a pair of gold spectacles.
 Paul Parker. collector for D. M. Snow & Company reported to the police yesterday that he was relieved of val in a wagon watching the parade pass when some one stole the watch from his pocket.
 dence of W. J. Drum. 6l9 Monroe Street, yesterday morning. and 1t Is thought for the purpose of robbery. Mrs. Drum was In room upstairs. No one else was in the house which was securely locked Suddenly she noticed man pass the door. She asked him who he was and what he wanted. The man appeared to be very much startled and said he was constable and had a warrant for a house girl who lived there. No such person as the man said he wanted lives on the premises and the man left. It is thought by the police that the man, thinking the house deserted. entered 1t for the purpose of robbery.
 Louis Lyon, who does a mercantile bus mess at 116 Montgomery Street, was the unsuspecting victim of a forger yester- day. A white man entered the store and offered to sell receipt on W. I. R. Thompson's warehouse for eight bales of cotton. The receipt was made out to man named Wellish and appeared to be the stranger, paying him . large sum of money for the receipt and he left the place. Shortly afterwards 1t was discov- cred that the receipt was a forgery. It develops that the man stole the blank re- ceipt from Thompson's warehouse and filled 1t out. The police are working on the case.

Delay in Moving Cotton.

The Savannah News says:
 The cotton men here say that their advices from the interior are to the effect that the railroads are badly handi- capped for want of cars at the present time and all of the little stations in the cotton belt are crowded with the fleecy staple awaiting shipment to Savannah and other ports.
 All of the railroads say that they are today quite short of cars. but that they are moving all cotton within a reasona- hle time.
