REMOVE THESE MEN

Something must be done by the Re
publican managers to put an end 10 the
dishonest, disorderly and disgraceful
conduct Of the Democratic registration
and election officers in South Will
mingtoA. Year after year the Republi-
can voters have the same trouble in
obtaining and exercising their rights OF
citizenship, and it is seldom an cleo
tion is held that it is not accompanied
by some outrageous procedure "over
the bridge"
Last Fall the polls were blocked foI
several hours and many Republicans
were prevented from voting. Now VIC
have obstruction and alleged fraud al
the registration for the city election
The men who are sitting over there
either are unwilling or unfit to do thoil
duty The Department OF Elections
should remove them and appoint ca.
pable and wel-meaning men in theii
stead, while the Republicans should
give it out plainly and uneQuivocalls
that they will not permit repetition
OF the November outrage at the city
election in June.

NEW BOARD is ACTIVE

Although the State Board of Agricul-
ture has been in existence but few
weeks, 1t is doing a useful and practical
work and the farmers and fruit
growers appreciate its energy and in
telligence. Nearly all the nurseries and
orchards in Kent and Sussex counties
have been inspected. and wherever San
Jose scale or other disease has been
discovered and pointed out the owners
OF the trees and shrubs have manifest
ed a hearty willingness to cooperate
with the board TO eradicate It.
To show the diligence Of the board,
this instance win suffice: A short time
ago some plants were shipped from
Darby to a man in Newport. Professor
Webb, secretary OF the board, exam
ined them and discovered that they
were affected by San Jose scale. He
reported the matter at once and Pro-
fessor Sanderson. OF the Experiment
Station at Delaware College, was call
ed in and confirmed Professor Webb's
judgment. The board reported the mat
ter to the shipper and received his con-
sent to the destruction OF the plants.
Now the consent of the buyer is being
asked, and. 1t is believed. will be given.
Under the law plants and trees 50
affected cannot be destroyed. unless ali
parties consent, without condemnation
proceedings taken before a magistrate
This is so maniFestly unfair that at the
next session OF the Legislature the
board will endeavor to obtain the pass
age of an amendment making it the
sole judge OF what plants and trees
shall be destroyed for the good Of the
community. Being composed of prac-
tical farmers and fruit growers, the
contention is made that It is qualified
to Judge such matters in controvers.
much more intelligently than are Jus
tices OF the peace

A DOLLAR AN ITEM

Secretary OF State layton. II repouts
be true, has resorted to a most despica-
Bile method to serve his spite and swell
his purse at the same time. He is at
tempting 10 tax anti-Addicks newspa-
pers 81 for items OF information con-
cerning the work Of his Office.
He recently attempted to charge a
representative Of the Philadelphia
Daily Evening Telegraph that amount
fer information concerning a new cor
poration. and 1t is rumored that other
newspaper men have been held up in
the same manner.
This unusual. venal and spiteful con-
duct is worthy OF the man but disgrace
full to the Office. Still, what better can
we expect from the public official who
said: What we want is votes. We
don't care whether we beg, borrow, buy
OF steal them"
Governor HUM. for the sake OF his
administration, should compel his sec
retary OF State 10 take his hand in 81
he has It out on dollar-an-item basis

CLEAR CASE OF FAKE

Here Is an example of thc s0-called
news matter which the Daily Republ-
can iniiicts upon its readers:
A. ID. Chaytor has a farm in Texas,
for which he has been offered 81 900 600,
burt he has refused w. He wants $4,000
an acre. Lucky adiutant-general.-- -
Daily Republican, May A.
Colonel A. ID ChaytOr. OF this city,
as the saying goes has struck OIL" He
has found himself suddenly launched
into the class where six ciphers are fol-
lowed by other figures. He is a mil
llonaire by the value of q tract of land
IN Texas. Some years ago Colonel
Chaytor came In possession OF a tract
consisting OF 6f0 acres. Oil wells have
been discovered lately In Texas and
the gushers have been turning out
thousands of barrels q day. The ebay
tor tract Is in the neighborhood of the
gushers and Is considered to contain
lots OF oil. Prospectors are wild over
the gushers and yesterday an offer OF
$4,000 an acre or St,2S0,00O was made
for the Chaytor property. Mr.. Chaytoi
sent back a simple message like this
The $40 acres are worth $4,000 an acri
on $2,56OOOO to me. II You want tn
land at that price you can have it,
Daily Republican, May 4.
The simple truth is that Colone
chaytor has an interest in a piece o
land down there known as the "ArmoI
Davis tract" He is but one of severa
heirs. No offer has been made for th'
property. but the heirs hope the pros
pectors will find oil in paying quaint
ties On It and that the spectators vii
buy It at a fair figure.
