Under the new Constitution the
State Of Delaware is divided into four
local option districts. They are the
city of Wilmington, rural New Castle
county, Kent county and Sussex
county. Before the Legislature can
RlgPmit the question Of license or no IL
Icense to o'the people OF any one of these
districts, such legislation must be
asked for formally by petition by a
majority Of the members Of each house
from said district. This makes II ex-
ceedlngly difficult TO obtain submls-
sion of the question and the present
outlook is that no vote will be taken
by the people in any of the districts az
a result Of any action by this Legisla-
ture All parties are playing politics
to a greater or lesser extent with the
temperance people, and the number Of
signatures given by each is measured
carefully to keep both the local option
advocates and the representatives of
the liquor interests In pleasant frame
OF mind. and, at the same time. to balk
a vote on the question. It Is believed
that there is not a rural district that
would not give a clear majority for To-
cal option II the question were sub
mitted. and that is why there is such
activity among the friends of license
and those who are opposed to il.

Senator Cullom, OF Illinois. knows
what il is 10 have to contend for de-
cent Republican politics. While we
have Addicksism TO fight against, he
has just won a signal and conclusive
victory over Tannerism. The only diff
ference between the two Is that Ad-
dickslsm has more money to spend and
better opportunity TO spend it profit
ably than had Tannerism while it was
waging its war against Senator Cul-
lom and the decent elements OF the Re-
publican party of Illinois In the
midst Of his own triumph he takes time
to send word to Delaware Republicans
to fight Addicks to the bitter end. 4"
They are doing II, and Senator Cullom' s
assurance that he will do all in his
power to hold up their hands and those
OF others engaged in the war for decent
politics and against bossism will serve
as additional inspiration for the full
performance Of their noble and heroic
work.

The Printers Burden.

Take up the printers burden,
You hardy sons of toll,
Who owe him on subscription
For burning midnight oil,
Remember how he waited,
When times were hard as rocks,
When Bryan talked free silver,
Jerry Simpson wore no socks.
Take up the printers burden,
He knows not selfish greed,
In every blessee issue
He works for things you need;
The towns prosperity be shows
Your farm land is the best
These things be tells the people
In north, south, east and west.
Take up the printers burden,
And pay the debt you owe,
And your mortal remnant
Has left this world below,
Your friends can read your title,
70 mansions in the skies
The printer knows It's charity
To white wash all your lies
Take up the printers burden,
And make things what they seem
When oft in silent sleeping,
The people--in his dream,
Pay cash for every item,
Subscriptions in advance,
And be goes on Sunday,
Without patches on his pants.
Take up the printers burden,
Ali who are in arrears,
His generations yet unborn
Will bless you all the years;
Times now are getting better,
Since Mckinley won the day,
And you ought to pay the printer,
Cause the devil wants his pay.

A crusade is being made
against kissing, the chief obiec-
tion being that disease is thus
communicated by the deadly
microbe passing from the lip.
From what we have heard and
read about the 'kissing habit"
we believe it will never be abol-
ished. When spooning lovers
look into each others eyes and
squeeze each others hands for
an hour or two, with the lamp
turned low, a herd of microbes
as big as rabbits wouldn't stop
them from kissing each other.
Nothing short OF the toe of the
old S boot will ever check
the disease, and then it is sure
to break out in d more violent
form the next time the lovers
meet. You might scare a set
ting hen Of her nest by taking
microbes to her, but to stop
kissing-never Kissing has
come to stay.-The West Baden

that the boy pulled his coat up
over his ears to protect himself
from the sand. The engine that
pulled the train from Gallup
was backing up to the round

he was knocked down, and evi-
