Representative Kitchen As not the
father OF the House bill he introduced
providing for the appointment OF
deputy coroner Of New Castle county.
A man who formerly was a so-called
deputy. and who disliked to relinqulsh
his Job. evinces more interest in the
proposed measure than anyone else.
Let us 20 back a little way. Cor
oner Vandeyer appointed Ferris Giles
his deputy following the usage Of
other coroners. although it is admitted
that there is no law providing for a
deputy coroner. AT the last general
election John L. Frick. a Republican.
was elected coroner. and he selected
James r. Chandler for his deputy
Now comes this bill to Dover estab-
fishing the oflce Of deputy coroner, at
a salary OF $4,000 a year, and taking
the matter Of his appointment out OF
the hands Of the coroner. and vesting
il in the Levy Court. n other words
somebody who has had a taste Of pub
lic office and wants more. and who
thinks he has pull" with certain
members Of the Levy Court, wants Mr.
Chambers job.
II we are to have a deputy coroner
reduce the salary to a reasonable sun
and vest the power Of appointment ii
the coroner.
The iob-hunting marks on the pres
ent bill are enough to kill It when
comes before reasonable and fair
minded men for consideration. A pub
lie measure should have somethin
more than political hunger and a wa

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Sentiment Is Creditable


From the New York sun.
In the Wilmington Evening Journal
Is revelation OF the sentiment that
prevails in Delaware regarding Ad-
dicks, and very creditable it is. The
ihreat has been put forth in Addicks'
behalf, that unless he is made senator,
Delaware viii suffer in its appropria-
lions. To this Horace w. Cause, the
doe-president of the great Harlan and
Hollingsworth Shipbuilding Company,
replies:
III the further improvement of the
Christana river by our Federal Gov
rnment Is TO be conditioned upon the
election of such a man as j. Edward
Addicks to represent our State In the
Senate of the United States, then
ay let the waters Of the river dry up
md the grass grow upon its bed rather
han have our State suffer the igno-
niny Of such a disgraceful representa-
tion."
The issue in Delaware is between
,itizens like Mr. Cause. and Addicks.

even with him by striking at his
pocket
The Joint Committee appointed to
settle with him made these allowances:
Salary 81 $50: extra work, 81 800; clerk
hire, S400; attorneys fees, 5000.
After it had done it and the Ad-
dicks leaders had become aware Of the
action, they set to work to attempt to
undo it and to strike several hundred
dollars of the allowances. AS a last
resort they went to the resolution ap-
pointing the Joint COMMITTEES and
pointed cut that it did not authorize it
to make any allowances. In the past
such allowances have been made under
similar resolutions, subject to approval
by the Legislature, but in this case the
right Of the committee to recommend
them is called into question and de-
MED. How far the opponents Of Con
gressman Ball win go in their cut is
as yet an open question.
Senator Abbott, one Of the members
Of the committee and a Union Repub-
lican, defends the action of the com
mittee, but his colleagues disagree
with him.
THEY HAVE LOCKED HORNS.
Senator Brasure, Of Sussex county,
and William f. Smalley, Jr., repre-
senting the Tobacco Trust, have lock-
ed horns on the anti-cigarette bill, an
amended notice Of which, to include
manufacturers, was presented to the
Senate yesterday. The senator declares
uhat he intends to push the measure
through If he can. Mr.. Smalley inti-
mates that he can kill it, There the
matter hangs for the time being, but
it is more than likely that the fight
will be a bitter and stubborn one when
1t gets fully under way.
The Committee on Education Of the
State Federation of Womens Clubs
met here yesterday to confer with the
Legislative Committee on Education in
regard to the establishment Of free IL
braries throughout the State. The
clubs are greatly interested in the
measure now before the General As

AnnlckS ON LIE BUN

Addlcks not only has lost his fight.
but he also mas lost his head lie is
ratified. and has rushed into print and
said things and done things wnich
have aroused public Indignation 60 a
high pitch at time most critical IN
his political career, thus undoing
everything that his managers have
done In his behalf since November.
Il is recognized everywhere that the
Republicans have him on the run and
that his position grows weaker every
day Of the session. The Regular Re
publicans will have nothing to do with
him; the Democrats stand as unit
against him, and even the middle-of-
the road men do not care to link their
fortunes with man who, they realize
fully, cannot possibly win an cleo
tion.
Not that alone. but the revulsion of
public sentiment in his case within
the last four weeks has been some
thing remarkable. Forces that he ex-
pected to have with him are working
energehcally against him, not only in
Delaware. but elsewhere.
He is beaten. His race is run. It
simply remains to be seen whether he
can hold the sixteen members, who
now are voting for him. to the end Of
the session to the exclusion OF all Re
publicans Of respectability and stand
ing. f1
The people are determined that the
State shall not be disgraced by his
presence in the United States Senate.
Attorney General Ward has advised
Governor Hum that the appointment
OF Edwin r. Cochran, Jr,
to be judge Of the Municipal
Court Of Wilmington was a proper one
70 come before the State Senate for
confirmation or rejection. This means
that Governor HUM will appoint a
Republican successor to the present
Judge, and that Judge Cochran must
go to the courts for redress. The
opinion is printed at length in another
