Sussex Looking Up

A Georgetown poet writing anony-
motsly, for obvious reasons, writes in
the following optomistic vein of old
Sussex:
Sussex county us'd to be an orful place
TO farm;
Us'd to grow a few "termats;" fer
wheat. its most too warm.
Apple trees a-scattered bout, "a peach
tree here an there,
Strawberries an watermelons certain
ly was rare.
Sandburrs an persimmOns bout all at
growed with ease,
The farmer wOrkd. an work'd, an
work'd an livin was a squeeze.
'Taint no use a-talkin. boys, them was
right hard times,
Discouragin' to say the least, to put
them up in rhymes.
Now. I've a mind to tell of some the
changes taken place.
Sence them days of fightin' fer to free
the colOred race
Farmers got to foOlin with the peach
tree an the pear,
Apples an pertaters an Strawberries
once so rare;
Till the fields is just a-bustin, fit tC
overflow.
An weeds an sandburrs, an sech like
aint got no place to grow.
IL seems 10 me that pretty soon we'll
all hands have to stop,
An spend the money what we gol
from las years 'tater crop.

Bryan, the sneerer

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Extraordinary efforts are being
made TO increase the circulation of w.
j. Bryan's weekly paper, the Com
moner. This means that extraordinary
efforts are to be made to mislead the
American people, to debase American
sentiment, and TO destroy American
spirit.
In the last number of the Com
moner Mr. Bryan presents Senator
Carmack, the slanderer of American
soldiers, as n possible candidate for
President Mr.. Carmack has rendered
apology to the American public for
some of his utterances as to our sol
diers in the Philippines. but Mr. Bryan
says: senator Carmack has earned
his rapid promotion by his extraordi-
nary ability, coupled with fearless,
steadfast adherence to the principles of
his party. He was pioneer in the
fight for the restoration of bimetalism,
and was one of the first to raise his
voice against imperialism"
This probably explains Mr.. Car
mackS zeal in assailing the character
.of American officers and soldiers. He is
in training for presidential nomina-
tion at the hands of the Democratic
party, but even Mr.. Bryan must know
that MIR. Carmack can never be nomi-
mated for President on the speeches
that he has made against our army in
the Philippines.

now SHE views her mothers daily life,
Sine may get picture of her own a
few years hence. Poor girl she may
hnd in her husband an entire lack of
sympathy with her hopes and aspira-
tions, and her idols may be shattered
by a laugh or a sneer.
But if she does not take kindly to
matrimony, and is attracted by the
idea OF caring for and protecting her
self, she will learn that what she gain
ed from her books has little CONNER
cial value, unless it is supplemented by
vast knowledge and experience of a
varied nature. And as for her cour-
age and determination-well they will
be needed at every turn of the road.
Poor Dorotheal The sea on which
she is launching is very treaeherous.
and is monotonous only in its disap-
pointments. Yet. if her education mas
been true, it has not been in vain. If
II has made her stronger in brain and
heart, given her larger conceptions of
life, and opened up and developed the
possibilities of her nature, she will
look back in the later years of her
life to those who made sacrifices for
her. She will understand how much
wiser and stronger they were than she.
and she will bless their mem
ories. Bill Parsons.

CoNTRonLEp TRoM OUTSIDE


The refusal OF the Addicks Commit
tee of New Castle county TO accept the
Republican proposition for common
primaries, suggests a brief review o
the political career of its leader ant
dictator. John Edward Addicks enter
ed Delaware politics as a resi-
dent of New Castle county
yet he built up his machin,
in Kent and Sussex. He dared mo-
appeal to his neighbors. and to thos,
who were familiar with mis- character
and career Hence he reversed THE ira.
dition that a political aspirant mus
first establish himself at home, and
then extend his domains.
There were other reasons; he knew
that in Kent and Sussex, on the legis-
latlve ticket votes count for more than
in New Castle, and while this county
has a majority of the votes in the State
Kent and Sussex together have a ma
iority of the members of the Legisla-
ture. Therefore, it was in those coun-
ties that ne put his money and put
forth his efforts.
This accounts for the fact that the
Addicks party is controlled from Kent
and Sussex, and explains why the local
committee has little to do with the
management of affairs. When anything
is to be done among the Addicksites OF
New Castle a message is sent to Dover
and Frank Alice and c. r. Layton ap-
pear on the scene. II is natural, then,
that when these men have personal
axes to grind they should use the New
Castle end of the aggregation for all
THAT it is worth. In other words, our
legislative ticket here is to be imperil-
ed till all Republicans in Frank Allee's
district shall be driven to his support
We are not to be allowed to name a
winning Republican ticket till c. r.
Layton has been given full support by
both factions in Sussex. The Ad-
dicks county Committee having abro-
gated its powers, should shut up shoE
and so out of business.
For years the voters of This State
have objected to the unit rule, but th.is
is the first time THAT it has been 50 ex-
tended as to put into the hands of the
State Committee the nomination OF
county officers and members of the
Legislature. Fortunately, the voters
OF New Castle have not been as sub
serwent as those from certain other
sections. and they are getting ready tC
protest. which we imagine they will dc
in no uncertain manner.

why civil government in all may not
be now established.

STRIKE LESSONS

Rioting and disorder have already
begun in the mining regions, and daily
the signs Of restlessness increase.
These are always accompanying Incl
dents OF strikes that continue for any
considerable period. Men may be
blamed for being unreasonable in their
demands. and for precipitating strikes
without sufficient cause, yet after
there has been a period Of idleness
covering some weeks the pinch
of hunger comes. Men are stared
in the face by a condition which in
dividually they cannot remedy. One
cannot go back to work till all go
They are bound in honor. and what is
more to the point. individuals who de-
sert their colors are met with vio-
lence.
Meanwhile starvation may be facing
them. Their employers may not pay
dividends. but individually they are
not vitally affected. The striker looks
at his own family who are hungry,
and he gets desperate. When he real
ICES that his employers have abated
no luxury, but show every sign of
prosperity, he grows even more des-
perate- Under such circumstances he is
not likely to weigh the nice points OF
original responsibility, but is inclined
to seek Whatever remedy his anger
can suggest.
One fact should always be borne in
mind by the individual striker; he
must assume the burden of supporting
himself and those dependent upon him;
yet the employer of labor must take
into consideration the fact that these
men must live some way, whether
their motive for striking is sufficient
or not, and he is also bound to reckon
the possible damage that may be in
flicted by desperate men. In some
respects the laboring man possesses a
great advantage; if he refuses to work
and can prevent others from working
he can paralyze industry, clip off his
employers profits, and, perhaps, in
flict injury TO property and stock by
neglect.
Yet the company possesses an ad.
vantage THAT is greater 1t cannot b,
starved while the laborers can. It ma,
even figure on a temporary loss due tC
such disturbances, and close its work
until such time as the laboring mar
may be starved into subjection. Be
sides this. the company may make NJ
its loss by increased charges for il
product.
In all such disputes there is a tend
ency to brush aside all arguments b.
stating the principle That a man has
right to work or to quit, and that hi
employer may lay him of at any tim,
But in our complicated modern sys
tenn rigid application Of this rul
works hardships. and great economi
losses Human nature is pretty muc
the same in all grades of men, and tn
most important thing is to keep up a
least the appearance of equity on bot
sides. When an impression is create
