The idea that prevails in the minds

i FRIDAY. JUNE 20. 1904
y. The idea that prevails in the minds
OF a great many persons that every
body that everybody is dishonest
hut themselves is incorrect. The
Idea Of runnir & politics on business
principles is II right. But having
been born in Delaware and grown
up in the city of Wilmington, we
would recommend the Republican
party or the Republican officials
who are now in control of affairs
that they should take leaf out of
the Democrats book. See how they
look after Democrats all the time.
That has been one of the secrets of
success for SO many years in Della
ware. See how many times reform
Is succeeded by the old dominant
party and the men who led the
movement Re in few years for
gotten and once more plain, every
day private citizen. Fortunately
!, civil service does not cut any figure
In local politics. The outs are just
as competent to manage affairs as
the ms and are just as honest. TIE
men who take care of their friends
succeeds better than the men who
use their friends and soon forget
them. 1t pays to be fair and square
with all with whom you come in
contact. The old saying, Its a
long lane that has no turn
/ THE dog catcher has his eye on
all persons who harbor unregistered
dogs. After July lst, all dogs found
running at large ON the streets of
the city, will be taken up and kill
ed. Owners Of dogs who take some
care of them, will have to exercise
as much care as possible to keep
their CANNES out Of the clutches Of
the dog catcher. So mary men say
that muzzling dog is cruel and
hampers the animal from perspir-
ing The only wish of our citizens
is that the animals shall be properly
looked after and not allowed to run
about promistuously, which will
lessen the risk of being bitten by
dogs that become innoculatel with
hydrophobia. There have been
numerous dogs bitten by supposed
mad dogs, and too much care cannot
be exercised in keeping them off the
streets.
THERE is no necessity for drawing
hn
all the peddlers. If the law does
not allow man to sell his goods
where he pleases in the city after
paying mercantile license. then
the sooner the law is changed. the
better There is no use i'll persecut-
ing merchants who have only limit
ed means ard are striving to make
an honest living. Justice should be
tempered with mercy But is it!
Prosecuting the people causes riots.
The people won't stand everything
without offering more than a pro-
test. We think it is time to stop
stretching the law for the sake of
putting few dollars into the city
treasury.
ALL of the watering places open
on July 1st and the fortunate per
sons who can go away to the seashore
are already picking out their suite
OF rooms while others who are more
fortunate have already taken pos
session Of their cottages for the sea
son. One can live just as cheap at
the seashore when keeping houses
as at home, but the prospects are
that you will eat twice as much us
as would at home. But look at the
good it does you. One of the Van
derbilts would hove given thousands
it he had been able to enjoy his
meals for several years past. A
healthy appetite with plenty Of sub
stantials to stow away beneath your
vest is better than great riches nc.
companied by a poor appetite.
Gov. AYCOCK, of North Carolina,
has offered a reward of $50, 900 for
the arrest and conviction of un-
known persons, who, on the night
OF June 18th, took Il negro prisoner
from the jail and lynched him.
The negro was innocent of the
crime for which he was arrested and
locked up. Mob law is sure and
swift but not very beneficial to
any community where it holds sway.
Nothing thrives were mob rule gov
erns the country.
JAS, l.. SHALLCROSS, residing near
MlddletOWn, owns one Of the lare-
est farms in New Castle county.
His farm contains over 1000 acres
and is in a good state of cultivation.
He is one Of the best posted men in
Delaware on small fruit culture.
He says the pearand apples trees on
his farm are full and the yield prom
ises to be big.
1T is a pity that persons who kill
others while jealous do not perform
the act upon themselves first. Be

his death. Instead of enjoying the
ladys smiles, Drayer is now occu-
