The Addicks Twins

Written for the Evening Journal.
Amandy, I'm a-growin'.
Jes' a-jumpin'-s to say
Yes, I've blOssomed like a mushroom
/ have doubled in a day.
An it really is surprisin'
At the growth that have made,
AS a CROWN freak O. nature
throw records i'm the shade;
But it's time I'm doin' somethin',
Fur l tell you il begins
To look dubious fur yer husband,
Since he has turned to twins.
think that this arrangement
Is the biggest thing I've done;
My chances now are better,
have two instead o. one;
An, Amandy, it most surely
Saves an awful lot o fuss.
Bout decidin' on a colleague.
Fur the colleague now is ''us,"
An my party's short o. statesmen,
CAS- an eel is short o. fins),
So. I'm film of the vacuum
BY turnin' into twins.
To get a party, Mandy,
have spent a lot o. cash;
bought all on the market,
Now ] own lot o. trash
Who have baited me with promises,
THAT / was jes' the stun"
To fill n seat in Washington,
(Which I'd like to bad enough),
An while I've paid out barrels
o. the stuff that mostly wins,
Yet. I'm lackin' jes' eleven votes
That would elect the twins.
So. Amandy, don't you bother
Bout that runnin' mate o. mine,
Fur l think It rather likely
I'm a needin' none this time:
Though the fellows I've elected
Try to bleed me like a leech,
An tell me I'll be senator,
An say / am n peach,
An shout to me THAT money
Hides a multitude O sins"
Yet I'm gettin' kind o. skeery
At the outlook fur the twins.

ON [HElh MtRlIs

Careful legislation is one thing. A
general hold-up Of bills, regardless of
their merits, is quite another. One is
an evidence OF good sense and eonserv-
atism; the other an evidence Of harm
ful prejudice and spite.
Every bill that is introduced in the
Legislature should stand ON its merits.
Men of fair mind who weigh measures
by that standard cannot so far wrong.
When we are told by an Addicks or
gan that the Union Republican mem
bers will hold up and possibly defeat
bills OF general public interest, unless
the Regular Republican members agree
TO 90 into a caucus which viii bind
them to vote for the gasman, we are
constrained to say that there is not,
and will not be, any piece OF legisla-
tion. or any combination OF pieces OF
legislation in Dover this session for
which Regular Republicans would
think for an instant OF trading their
principles. II is well to understand
that fact now. Legislation and the
candidacy Of Mr.. Addicks cannot be
made the subjects of barter. Both must
stand on their merits and be judged
accordingly.

Because a public school teacher
would hold a life certificate under the
bill now pending in the House, it
would not follow that he or she would
hold a life position. The school com
missioners would have ample power,
as they have now. to pass upon the
qualifications OF an applicant for a
position, and to remove a teacher who
failed to keep pace with educational
progress. It would be one thing to
hold a life certificate, and another to
hold a position. II the certificate con-
templated under the bill contained a
mandatory employment clause, there
would be valid ground for objection to
its passage. The school commissioners
and parents. rather than the county
superintendents are the ones who fix
the status of a teacher and they sell
dom err in their decision. The teacher
who gives satisfaction to them In
these days when so much is expected
from the public school must Of neces-
sity keep pace with the times. AS we
understand it, the bill is designed to
relieve teachers Of the inconvenience
OF passing practically the same exami-
nation from time to time, and also to
correct certain abuses in public school
politics which are said to exist.

Delaware College and the State Col

proper support. One asks for $25,000
and the other for $4,000 for building

buildings-and we are assured by the
honorable men who conduct them that
they do-the Legislature ought to go
just as far as the condition OF the
treasury will permit in supplying such
needs.

Concerning their methods Of deal

Addicks, the intelligence of the Repub-

Kent and Sussex counties, however do
not give evidence by their action that
