What Shall be Done2

From the Sussex Republican.
Ii a certain class of men who have
heretofore permitted themselves to be
led by certain Addicks leaders will
only hesitate long enough to consider
and investigate the matter for them
selves they will not longer permit
themselves to be used In a struggle
against the Republican party. Because
that is in fact what this fight really is.
We are reliably informed that Addicks
has declared since the New Year that
he is more than ever determined that
no Republican shall be elected senator
from Delaware unless he is' BY this
declaration Addicl1s admits the prob
ability Of defeat and his determination
TO prevent anyone else from being
elected II is the old dog in the man
ger policy which has been the curse OF
the Republican party for the last eight
years. and from which it will not re
cover for years to come BY this dec
laration Addicks places himself in Op-
position 90 every other possible candi-
date for the Senate in this State and
assumes the position which he main
tanned i'm 1895. when with FIVE votes he
prevented the election of a Republican
/ United States senator Many men who
have since and do now support him
have time and time again admitted that
ne was then wrong in preventing tn,
election Of a senator and yet at tn,
very beginning of this campaign. eighr
years afterward. he declares his inten
tons to be the same. Now what posi-
Ition will these men assume. who hav,

wrong in 1895. when they find him nov
i'm the same position? DO they propos
to help him bury the Republican
party ten thousand fathoms deep" o
/ do they propose to assert their Repub

publican success and the Repuhlica
party and not for one man who set
himself up to be above the party? w

degrading lies. which are like the fool

We defy this journalistic eXcrescence
serene IN his own deprayity, to be-

Always Money

From the Delaware Democrat
The Addicks leaders know of no
power in politics save money and hold
their old forces and expect to gain
new recruits by the use Of it. Their
attempt to prove that their method of
securing votes was in use IN this State
Tor many years before the advent of
Addicks, has proved a miserable failure
We do not say that votes were not
purchased before then. we do say that
bribery was done to a limited extent
and that the people thus influenced
We're small portion of the voters com.
pared to those of the present time
Nor was the vote buying publicly ac
knOwledged as now by both parties

of Addicks-with no interest in com
mon with our people, with no singh
qualification for the office he crayed

GREATEST GOOD
FOR THE
GREATEST NUMBER

"The best company is the company
which does the most good" The motto
of The Mutual Life has been still more
firmly established in Delaware than
ever before during the year 1901 In
Delaware alone the past year this, the
greatest of all companies, paid in en-
dowments and death claims
S92431 This was undoubt-
edly a great benefit Of many residents
of our State but the vast amount that
our people are now accumulating in
the investment policies of The Mutual
Life to be returned to them or their
heirs at the time most needed, which
amounts to nearly Five MILAN Dollars.
is even more important than the
amount distributed during 1901. The
Mutual Life placed new insurance in
this State during 1901 amounting to
over Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars.
and gained during the year the enor-
nous sum of $3.50. .94S, which is 1899
per cent. of the amount gained by all
other (2D companies reporting to the
Delaware Insurance Department. IL
the verdict of Delaware is that "The
best company is the company which
does the most good, it must now sure
ly be admitted by the insuring public
that The Mutual Life is by far i'm the
lead. and must be recognized as "the
best company"

'and putting themselves on record as
being opposed to cap and gown.
As matter Of fact. the cap and gown
are the most appropriate garb either
the girl or boy graduate could don.
They give uniformity and dignity
and an impressiveness that frills and
lurbelows and foating ribbons never
could Above all they are the most
becoming things in the world. Be-
meath the friendly shade of the mortar
board a fair young face looks sweeter
and fairer and the countenance of a
serious mould takes on a deeper in
tellectuality.
In all the larger institutions the cap
and gown are worn at the commence
ment. and by the seniors. TO the aver
age student the pinnacle of earthly
bliss is reached when she arrives at
the dignity of donning the cap and
gown
Now that the Wilmington girl stu
dent has the opportunity. she fails to
embrace il. This leads one to think
that she is not quite so progressive
as her sisters in other parts of this
great land of ours. Let her dispel
this idea. and by all means. be gradu-
ated in cap and gown.

FAIR GIRL GRADUATES SHOULD
ESPOUSE CAUSE OF CAP AND GOWN

All this talk about the frocks to be
worn by the girls Of the graduating
class of the High School upon the oc-
casicn of the annual commencement,
and the alleged interest or lack Of in
tereston the part OF the Board of Edu-
cation. reminds one of nothing so much
as the time-honored tempest in tea
pot. First came the news that the
Board would decide the sort of gowns
to be worn by the sweet girl graduates
upon that important occasion. Details
as TO the frills and flCunces insertions
and tucks bows and rOsettes were
lacking, at the same time the gossip
ing public seized upon the bare state
ment as a rare tid-bit and it was dis
cussed with tine levity cir the
gravity of the discusser. Then
came another rumor that tine
subject had been referred 10
the proper committee, but that it had
not reported at the last meeting of the
Board and that no action would be
taken
Notwithstanding the Fact that 1.-The
incident was closed, practically. as
they say in international complications,
the girls themselves have put in cir
culation a petition asking that they be
allowed to wear their usual costumes

WE GET ONE roo

Our contemporaries are each getting
numerous letters from persons repre-

ing their several courses on public
questions. particularly with reference
to their attitude on the Welsbach
lighting contract. TO shbw that we,
too, are in the recipient of congratula-
tory epistles we take pleasure in print
ing the following:
Wilmington, Del, March 8. 1902.
Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: / wish to express my admira-
tion for your course in regard to the
Welsbach contract; your position is

possibly make q better contract for

pany Behind this sentiment are
thousands of our citizens who read the
Evening Journal because il is honest
in its purposes, and forcihle and
straightforward in their expression.
An Old Citizen.
1t is gratifying to receive such COM
municadons. since they offer encour-
agement TO MS in carrying out a policy
that we believe to be right The letter
is sound in its conclusions. and it need
not detract from its force to say that

the Star will no, attempt to censure

To have turned on the lights would
have been one thing or the other: safe

not the Star admit THAT for the time
