THERE must be an infatuation in
the Delaware Legislature for s0nlc
men. The pay is IS Il day fer 80
days and railroad passes. But num-
erous men like to be addressed as
Senator or Representative. Al men
fortunately don't get sWolled heads,
but are just the same after election
as before. One term of Office was
enough for some. They were honnl-
ed every time they did not vote as
their detractOrS commanded, aud
every pressure brought to bear to
get them to vote us Others wished
and not as they felt was for the good
OF the Republican party. Office was
held out i'll many instances. This
year some candidates want Il second
term and some a third in the Le9iS-
lature. Rotation in office has al
ways been considered a good thing
to keep party healthy. 1t will be
seen what the voters think of the
claims of these candidates on cleo
ton day. The coming primaries
will be hotly contested. This is Il
free country and every man has Il
right to run for any Office lie thinks
he wants. The vote on election
day decides whether he was a popu-
lar candidate or not There is a
better chance than ever before for
a fair ballot and an honest count.
The Republicans o. Dover are
having another squahble over who
shall succeed Postmaster John w.
Casson, whose term expires Septem-
Der I'd. There are three aspirants
for the position, but Congressman
Ball undoubtedly controls the ap-
pointment. We would wager dol
lars to doughnuts that the lucky
man will be the one Congressman
Ball names. so there is no need
for the aspirants or their friends to
fret about the appointment. The
postmaster is already picked out
and all that is needed is to send his
Lame to the President with the
Congressman's endorsement. The
fact is, that only one man can he
postmaster and there is no use in
losing any sleep over it. The posi-
ton pays a good salary and lasts
four years. How foolish the appli-
cants are to use every kind Of tac-
tics to blacken each others rhur;lr-
ters for the sake Of an easy job AMI
a few paltry dollars. Many may
feel they are called to serve the Gov
ernment, but only only one will be
chosen.
A DANGEROUS practice when in
the water is to catch a person around
the neck. Drowning persons invur-
iably catch their resvurrs around
the neck and thus prevent them
helping one or the other An in
stance Of this kind took place in Il
river at Peoria, ILL.,, on Monday.

We're found three hours later, lust
as they went down. The other two
boys swan ashore, none the worse
for their durking. There is always
more OF less danger III Il row boat.
Drowning accidents are fregrlvnt
and every year has its share Of these
accidents.
WITH corn likely to 60 to one dol

able to raise Il few hundred bushels
extra this year, and thus help swell!
