poLIY WANTS A CRAcKER

There will he two Republican SEN
ators elected at the coming session OF
the LEGISLATURE, and / will be one OF
them" says John Edward Addicks.
This has been repeated so often that IL
is growing intolerable. Gentle reader,
If YOU have ever owned a parrot, you
can appreciate what this means. 1t is
very amusing for a time to hear the
bird squawka Polly wants cracker.
but after you have heard it every day
Of the year for ten years. you have
either made a present of the fowl to
your worst enemy, or there has been a
parrot funeral. Well, certain persons
are beginning to feel that way about
Addicks.
BY the way, he says that two Repub-
licans will be elected, and that he will
be one of them. The two clauses OF
that statement are contradictory. If
two Republicans are to be elected, how
can he be one Of them? 1t would be
as sensible to declare that there will
be two good Republican senators
elected-R. r. Kenney and Willard
Salisbury.
Now let us make a prediction: Ad-
dicks cannot possibly be elected this
time. He Will never attain the goal Of
his ambition. Everytime he comes
near TO Il he makes some colossal
blunder; his ignorance of men, his
vanity or his vulgarity comes to the
rescue of his opponents, and as he
cannot change his nature, it is safe to
assume that the future will be a repe-
tition OF the past. The two factors
which have saved Delaware from dis
grace are Addiczs' asininity and a gra-
cious Providence.

CHERRY ISLAND
PROPERTY SOLD
w. G. Mahaffy Purchased I6
Acres From J. Atwood
and T. T. Weldin

What is to be done with the Cherry
Island marsh land, and why sush enor-
nous prices are being asked and in a
number OF cases received for this ap-
parent waste land. has become a mys-
terry to many persons.
S. Atwood Weldih and Thomas T.
Weldin recently sold to William G.
Mahaffy two tracts of marsh land in
Cherry Island marsh fronting on the
Delaware including the mud flats out
side of the bank The two tracts con-
tain about sixteen acres and the price
paid is said to be about 81 900 per acre
This land lies Immediately adjoining
the property of the Edge Moor Iron
Company, and is but a short distance
from the property of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. 1t is thought that
this sale and also previous sales oi
marsh fronting on the river will have
the result OF improving the river front

Better Roads

The question Of providing the peo-
pie of Delaware with better roads has
been thoroughly ventilated this week
at a meeting held at Delaware College.
The matter is of vital Importance to
everyone. Nearly all States in the
Union have made some progress along
this line but Delaware has done very
little to improve the public roads of
the State. AT the coming session of
the Legislature some measures will be
introduced to bring about the desired
end and to establish a system that may
give us what we should have in this
respect; but measures have been intro
duced from time to time in this body
of Delaware lawmakers and each time
they have talked the thing down.
Something should be done now. Con-
cerning the making of laws looking to
good roads the Evening Journal, of
Wilmington, has something interesting
to offer, which we reproduce in another
column-Milford News and Advertiser.

TOM REED DEAD

Tom Reed, big, brainy, lovable Tom
Reed, has gone, and THE whole country
is grieved about it. He was a states-
man OF the highest type, because of
great qualities, and because he never
tried to be anything nature didn't in
tend him to be. He never posed. but
was simple and Unaffected to the end
His Republicantsm was Of that typa
which would not tolerate deceptions
and inconsistencies in the party name
He was 50 good a Republican that he
had no sympathy with any man or
any principle which he believed failed
TO measure up TO the best traditions
of his party. He might lose popular
ity for a time. bist that was a matter
OF little moment to Tom Reed
He had his disappontments. but he
bore them with fortitude. and left pub
lie life, partly because Of its meager re-
wards, but partly. too, because in GER
tain respects he found himself out of
sympathy with certain OF the party
leaders, and party principles. He may
have been wrong in part, but he didn't
fawn and squirm to get in line, as
many a leader would have done There
is a type Of statesman to whom regu-
larity is everything, but to Reed prin-
ciplc was about all that was worthy Of
being considered.
And all the strenuous conflicts Of his
public career he swentened with the
keen flashes of his humor. He could
use the bludgeon. the stilletto or the
rapicr, bat he ever came Off victor.
The vanQuished became his friends
and loved him. Although ont OF pub
lie life in the ordinary SENSE he was
not out Of the public eye there is uni
versal regret that nature could not
spare him for a few more years Of use
fulness.

Good Roads
From the Sussex Republican.

From the Sussex Republican.
Farmers and others in the upper part
of the State are discussing the advisi-
bility of requesting the coming Legis-
dature to make an appropriation for
permanent road improvement.
This is step in the right direction.
II anything needs improving it is the
roads Of this State and of this county
In particular. We have been raising
and expending money on cur roads for
years and years, with very little per-
manent Improvement Most of the
money thus expended has been wasted
by incompetent overseers or by over
seers who have managed to retain,
most OF their allowance within their
own family. Most of it has been
walked out and in meantime most OF
cur reads have got worse instead Of
better. The State is able and should
make an appropriation for the purpose
OF permanent road improvement and
should see to it that it is permanent
and not permit it to be wasted by the
moving a little dirt here and there.

POLICE CLOSE
AN OPIUM DEN
Man Had Woman Smoking
Dope" and Tried to Get
Spectators to Try 1t

State Detective Francis and Officer
Harry Pierce are evidently not fond of
hitting the pipe" On Saturday after
noon they swooped down on the estab-
lishment Of John Cole & Co., Of Phila-
delphia, in the basement of the build
ing at No. 313 Market street.
When the officers entered the place
they saw a number of Chinese pictures
on the walls and in the centre of the
room, upon an elevated platform, re-
posed a female attired in a dress OF
gauzy texture, gracefully smoking an
opium pipe. Chinese lanterns hung in
front of the building and a human
talking machine informed the public
that an opium joint was in full opera
ton within, the price of admission be-
ing 10 cents. A number Of extra pipes
could be tried by patrons who cared
to pay an additional fee.
The proprietor was arrested and af-
ter a consultation between Chief of Po-
lice Black and Deputy City Solicitor
Garrett, he was allowed to go uDor
promising to close his place and leave
the city.

Public Printing

From the Milford Chronicle.
For once the Chronicle is in accord
with the Evening Journal" of Will
mington, and that on the subject OF
State printing. We have contendad
for many years that with a competent
man as State printer. the State and
counties of Delaware would receive bet
ter service, the publications be placed
before the people more fully and from
five to ten thousand dollars per year
be saved on the amount paid out here
tofore. In plain language, fair prices
for public printing would be paid, and
more general publicity be obtained.
Exorbitant charges-more than twice
the highest advertised rates-have
besn made by newspapers for work
performed, and these bills have been
paid by the Levy Courts without objec-
tions; simply because no member OF
such bodies was familiar with print
ing and the prices paid by the business

The Workhouse

The New Castle County Workhouse
was nearly destroyed by fire last Sat
urday night This will entail quite a
loss to the county, and besides, will
stop entirely the industrial work of the
institution. The fire is the more to be
regretted since the institution was in
its experimental stage of existence.
Those who were instrumental in found
ing the institution, chief among whom
were Chief Justice Lore, claimed that
the institution would be self-support-
ing. We regret that a fair trial has
been denied the institution by this un-
timely casualty. While we have never
been able to believe all it's founders
claimed for the workhouse, yet we
hoped their claims might come true.
There is already being agitated a
plan to have the institution bought
and controlled by the State, when the
next Legislature meets. What action
will be taken by that body is uncer-
tain. It is not presumed the next Leg
islature will do anything but vote for
United States senators and enact vC-
ters' assistant laws.-Sussex Journal.

ABOUT READING

Every little while somebody hobs up
and gives us a patent recipe for educa-
ton. From time to time some literary
wiseacre or professor selects a list Of
books to be read in'order that we shall
cultivate style and comprehend the
real essence OF literature A Chicago
professor has just given to his class
such a list. and it comprises but ten
volumes. Now. had we perfect conf
denoe in this scholars Judgment, with
what real joy should we enter into the
task of reading those ten books, and
how rapidly the whole world would
become educated and refined Here is
the list: "Ivanhoe." Adam Bede," "On
the Heights" John Halifax. Gentle-
man, Vanity Fair" Scarlet Letter, "
Last Days of Pompeii" David Cop
perfeld," LES Miserables." and "Hy-
patia."
Now, il happens that an the books
Of this list we have read, with the single
exception OF "On the Heights" and this
may account for our enditlon. and
the omission of that one volume may
be the cause of its limitations. Yet
we know Of persons who devoured
these volumes in their youth. and
whose literary taste developed into al
appetite for the works Of the Ouch
ess," and detective stories.
There are those who claim that the,

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

Once again the season has arrived
when the minds of an are turning to
Christmas. Many exhibit a cynicism
in discussing II, but it is in the air and
will get in the blood Of all ere the
dawning OF the morning of the 25th.
It may be that a part of our enthusi-
asm for the occasion lies in a more
or less definite desire to observe the
day because of its religious significance,
but there is a suspicion that much Of
our secret enthusiasm comes from car
tain pagan tendencies, which have
shown themselves in all Of the Off
spring of the first man. But we must
not get the impression that pagan
here is used in the sense of opposition
TO the spirit of Christianity, hut rather
that it refers to those primal impulse.
which are human, and firmly assert
themselves in all religions.
Even among the Jews in Christian
lands there is an observance Of thu
day. They protest that il has no re
ligious significance to them, yet the.
like its spirit, and hold it proper TO ex
change gifts and TO spend ths day il
feasting and other pleasant pastirnes
To the Christian it is especially signi
ficart The story Of a little babe Dor
in a stable in that far-away land an
ia that far-away tima. appeals to a
men. but when we think Of the Bal
grown TO mature years, suffering har'
ships and indignities, and giving h
life for all the generations to come,
note Of pathos, aside from its religio'
aspect, is added. and we have an II
pulse to gather our little ones-all L
Tie ones-in our arms as if we wou
shield them from what the world seel
determined TO inflict-
Haae is tho joy and real happin'
OF Christmas. Men become 30 q
sorted in business affairs, so intent
getting the necessary dollars W
which to provide for the comforts
life. that they forget, for a time,
true road to happiness. Then
Christmas TINA they spend some no
and money IN order to mako the Il
Of the helpless and destitute a Ii
brighter; they trim Christmas u
and buy presents for the little ol
and out OF this they get about all
