EDITORIAL OPINION
Another Setback


From the Philadelphia Evening Tele-
graph.
Just before President Roosevelt left
Washington, a fortnight ago, on his
furitless bear hunt, he created some as
constituent by reappointing as Dis
trict Attorney of Delaware, William
Michael Byrne, who had resigned that
office to assist Addicks in turning the
representation of the State over to the
Democrats by running as his personal
candidate for the House OF Representa-
tives. 1t was given cut at Washington
at the time, apparently on authority,
that the reappointment OF Mr. Byne
had been made as a recognition of the
fact that the Gasmanis followers had
lpOlled a larger vote than the real Re-
publicans, and were therefore justly
entitled to be treated as the true Re
publicans OF the State, and it was con-
fdently anticipated by Addicks that,
in his capacity OF National Committee
man, he would be hereafter consu-
tuted the dispenser of Federal patron
age in the State.
But now comes a setback to the
hopes and claims Of the Gasman. An
official statement is issued from the
White House to the effect that the re-
Impeachment of Mr.. Byrne was a pure
lgy personal matter based on his own
lsupposHitious claims to a continuance
I'M office: that It was not meant as
recognition of Addicks as the head OF
the real Republican organization of the
state. and was not intended to affect OF
influence in any way the .deadloch
over the two vacant seats in the United
I States Senate. There is reason to be
D lleve that President Roosevelt is mis-
p taken in his estimate Of Mr.. Byrne
fitness for the office to which he ha'
been restored but that, as Mr.. kiplinl
would say, is another story, and "a
p no bearing on the main point hither
/, to at issue. It is now definitely an

ident and that he must wage his hops

IMPROVING BUILDING
Mcmahon tBrothers EnIarging Their
King Street Property

Two years ago last June the firm of
Mcmahon Brothers. started in the new
and secondhand furniture business on
the northeast corner of Fifth and King
streets, in a little room for which they
paid 81 month rent. Since then the
firm has gradually taken in all the
available space in the large building,
and stocked it thoroughly with all
kinds Of household goods. But with
all the increased facilities there still
remained a lack of space, and to over
come this a new three-story structure
including the basement, is being erect
cd as an addition, at cost of $4,000.
which will be occupied by the ener-
getic firm as soon as completed.

man was troubled. so he said: Il am
going to ask Brother --- about 1t,
and see what he says" So he ap-
preached the exhorter and asked;
Brother, is it wrong to buy votes2
NO" was the answer, mot if they are
for the Republican ticket. To vote
that ticket is to do right, and 1t is
never wrong to reward men for doing
right" And thus bribery was de-
Tended.
Another instance comes TO mind. A
few years ago a man residing in
"a Kent county town called
upon a neighbor a few days prior
to the primary election. lie found his
neighbor sitting with his Bible on his
knees, pouring over the Book. Pres
emily the devout man, who we will call
John, raised his eyes and said: James,
this is the greatest Book ever written;
II Is my guide and stay. pattern my
daily walk after its teachings.
Wherever go. it goes with me, and it
is lamp to my feet"
The caller was somewhat taken
abacl, but he agreed that It was a good
guide to follow.
John continued to read for time,
when his visitor, with some hesitancy
decided to disturb the devout man, and
asked If he couldn't help those who
were determined to break up corrup-
ton at the approaching primaries.
Instantly John was on his feet. Il
want you to understand" he said,
that am for ]. Edward Addicks, first,
last and all the time" "Why are you
for Addicks?" asked his visitor.
Because IL will take lot of money
to carry this election" was the reply.
Then he continued: Lots OF votes
have got to be bought if we expect to
win, and Addicks is the only one to
put up the money" The visitor asked
If he found that sentiment in the good
Book, and being assured that he did.
he departed.
A third example and we are done. At
the recent election it was generally I'M
derstood that about one-half of the
entire voting population of a certain
Sussex town sold out. II was so no.
torious that the preachers, with the ex-
ceplion of one, took it up in their
sermons. The one who refused is an
ardent Addicks man. Persons went to
him and informed him that a promi-
nent official Of his church had been
buying votes all day. and urged him to
take up the matter on the succeeding
Sabbath. The church wes crowded
with expectant people, but the preacher
announced his text Follow me-" and
proceeded to enlarge on the theme
that people should attend to their own
business, not judge harshly, and il
wrong had been done, to leave the
g~hty ones to the lash OF their own
consciences.
There are some peculiar consciences,
are there not?

THANKSGIVING

We are such a thankiess lOl! Oul
gratitude is measured by what is prom
ised. and not by what we at present
enjoy, OF should enjoy. There are
really few essentials 10 happiness, and
most persons possess them all, IL they
only knew it. The physical man needs
TO be looked after and it is hard to be
content with cold pinching our limbs,
and hunger gnawing our stomaehs. But
most Of us have fair appetites, and
something to appease them periods
cally, and as for clothing and shelter,
few are without.
So. having these things and in addi-
ton. being secure in our property and
lives. we very properly set aside ma
tional Thanksgiving Day, on which,
presumably, we pour out our prayers
OF gratitude TO our Maker.
But he who has no more than these
material things is poor indeed, since
the true onjoyments Of life are imma-
terial. We all rejoice in a thousand
tender ties that are priceless. II We
know OF one person into whose eyes
we can look, speaking the name OF
friend" we have cause for thankful
ness. And then we have tastes and
mental attributes which enable us TO
strive for objects which in part we
may attain, and in accomplishment
lies happiness.
We should be more than thankful for
what we are enabled and allowed to
do. than for what we receive by way or
compensation. Our greatest happiness
lies in the attachments Of home and
friends, but these require constant
sacrifice and sell-abnegation.
The true preacher regards his woilS
more highly than his salary. The true
teacher wishes to see his ideas blossom
in the minds Of others, and this con-
stitutes the joy Of living. The scien-
fist will cheorfully give his life for a
rev and valuable discovery, and all
men are really happy when they are
doing something useful. even though II
may not be carried into dollars
The inventor spends many weary
years toiling day and night over hil
plans. The proverbial crust Of brea,
kcops him alive. Through encourage
ment and Encouragement he tolls on
and at last when the great invention
stands complete, il is stolen by some
one who forms a great company whic
makes millions out Of it. Yet your IN
ventor, for all his poverty, has gotte
more out of It than the company whic
has turned II into gold.
We should be thankful, then, for foe
and shelter, for friends and kindre
but our prayers of gratitude should
poured out for the opportunity of a
complishment, and for the talents al
the energy necessary TO that end.
