PENINSULA PRESS

II is about time the Republican party
had asserted itself and set aside the
objectionable personalities which have
heretofore retarded its progress, and
re-established itself in the confidence
OF the people by asserting and main
tanning a higher political standard and
work as a unit for Republican success.
The Republican party has always been
to the front in all governmental re-
forms, and has maintained supremacy
by anticipating the desires and wishes
of the people. Civic virtue is on the
increase. The people are getting tired
OF the selfish political trickster, who is
influenced entirely in his acts by his
personal ambitions and mercenary mo-
tives. States are in demand. A
better qualification will be required
from men who aspire TO office. Their
public acts will be more carefully
lscrutinized and a just accounting re-
CURED 1t is bound TO come. The ef-
feet is apparent in New Castle county

THE LITERARY WORLD

THE Flash of an Emerald. by Ethel
Watts MumfOrd. the novelette, with
which the February number of The
Smart Set opens. is a notable contri-
button to literature. 1t contains, in
exquisite balance. realism, adventure
and .Omance. The characters, most
modern of the modern. are distinctive
ana drawn with charming art The
love interest that permeates the plot is
at once novel and absorbing, while the
scenes, varying from France to Ameri-
ca, form an admirably worked out
background to action the most dra-
matte. In its entirety, as i'm de-
tails. the story is one that must win
the praise of critic and public alike.
Edgar Fawcett contributes an inn
portant story, dealing with phases
of American life abroad. of which no
author has a more intimate knowledge.
"A Drama in a Dining Room" by Ed
gar Saltus. relates with characteristic
brilliancy the story OF Paris sensa-
ton. Alfred Henry Lewis writes "She
Stoops TO Conquer" an article where
history is disguised by brisk dialogue
and clever description. when We
Are Married is a romantic love story
as ingenious as dainty a delightful
witness to Justus Miles Forman's gem
ius in fiction. A fantastic tale of a
unique social situation is related by
Edward S. Van Zile The tragi-com-
edy in the love affairs of a japanese is
daintily and tenderly told by Onoto
Watanna. and j. R. Crawford gives a
bit Of inimitable satire entitled Polly
pow-wows.
There are poems by Bliss Carman
Gelett Burgess. Clinton Scollard, Frank
Dempster Sherman. Julien Gordon
Josephine Dodge Daskam, Charlotte
Becker. and others. together with hu-
mors by Tom Mason Edwin l.. Sabln,
Roy Farrell Greene. and many more.
All in all. the February Smart Set
is among the best yet issued of this
lsingularly successful magazine.

"NIERE PRINrERsn

Recently We were told that when the
city editor Of the Wilmington paper
owned by Addicks joined with other
members Of the staff in sending letter
TO the owner making certain reason
able request. he received In reply a
a letter rebuking him for the "undigni-
fed" conduct of allowing his name to
be used with printers The rest Of the
transaction. which was matter of
business, we have ignored, but let us
see how this expression OF sentiment
compOrts with the public professions
of this man Addicls.
He has been posing for some time as
the workingman's friend, and all those
who have opposed him have been held
uD as aristocats. Now we have some
little respect for the real aristocrat,
since by training and habit he knows
no better. but for mushroom enobbish-
ness we have no federation. Those
printers who signed that note are
doubtless honorable men and are en-
ployed in trying to make living by
honest labor and not by means of
shady gambling speculatlons.
And who is This snob Addicks. any
way? Wasn't there time when he
worked with his hands. and stood in
line to draw his pay Saturday night?
AT no subsequent moment of his
career has he been engaged in more
honorable pursuits; and 1t may be
doubted whether Addicks. the manipu-
lator. is half so much entitled to our
respect as Addicks the working man.
Addicks is the friend of the farmer
at election times: he is the friend OF
the mechanic-when he Is at odds with
employers who oppose Addicksism.

In a business transaction he rehukes

A Pennsylvania politician the other
day declared that the time had gone by
when tho organization might expect
the support of the people for every
"yaller" dog that might be nominated
Party allegiance is strong, but the dis
position OF individuals to form their
own estimate OF candidates is growing.
IL is all very well when some politi-
cal shyster or incompetent has been
nominated to say that he must be sup
ported by all who are loyal to the
party. and TO predict an awful calam-
ity should he be defeated But this
should be taken into consideration in
making the nomination Ordinary
persons will reckon good citizenship as
outweighing the claims OF party and
the trick OF counting on the loyalty of
decent people who have been outraged
is about played out.
The other day a prominent profess
sional man Of Wilmington expressed
in the presence of a number of gentle
men a very different idea. He said
that he wanted Delaware to have two
senators and that he didn't care
whether they We're two "yaller" dogs.
Il seems incredible that an intelligent
man can take such a position. II
majority of our people should hold the
same view our Government would
soon go to pieces. Citizenship is based
on the supposition that there will be a
certain intelligence and virtue express
ed in the ballot. and when one is utter
ly unconcerned in the outcome of his
act, ne is not the citizen contemplated
by the Constitution. and should be de-
prived Of the franchise IT needs no
inquiry TO ascertain who one of his
waller dogs would be.

A Philadelphia clergyman yesterday
in a sermon declared that progressive
euohre is largely responsible for the
universal spirit or gambling. There is
to be said on both sides Of
the question, but it would be interest
ing to know how definite the infoIma-
ton is, which leads to so positive a
declaration II we wished to discuss
the subject philosophioally, we might
Inquire whether gamblers make pro-
.gressive euchre, or progressive eucllre
makes gamblers. Then there are other
Questions which arise; do many per-
sons who enjoy game of progressive
euchre, really engage in gambling as il
lis ordinarily understood? And does the
game make gamblers, or gamblers make
the game? Our own impression is that
very few persons given to the habit
ever play or have played progressive
.euchre. There is the element Of chance
In every game; it is the element which
gives zest, and whether the stake be the
honor of winning or some tIinket,
there is little difference Boys that play
marbles for keeps" are subject to
punishment, but their principles are
not necessarily reformed by the prohi-
bition. 1t is an easy matter to find the
germs Of sin and crime in game OF
leap-frOg, since the most slillful boy
is singled out for the esteem OF his
fellows, not because he is more godly,
but because he has more spring in his
legs. Men gamble, in the proper sense
of the term, because they want to,
and they cannot escape censure by lay
ing their downfall to an inanimate
pack of cards.

A PUBLIC DUTY

The following from the Sunday Star
regarding the proposition to bulkhead
tho Christiana. is the Evening Jour
nails position exactly:
In considering the question of bulk
heading the Christana river for the
purpose of preserving a uniform depth
of tho channel. II should not be forgot
ten that the land owners along The
stream are not the only ones that
would be benefited thereby or course
the property owners along the river
are the most directly and obviously
concerned in maintaining a navigable
depth to the stream. but their interest
in the matter differs from that of other
citizens of Wilmington only in degree.
Every manufacturer. every merchant.
every business man of whatever de-
scriptiOn, in fact every citizen, wheth-
er he is In business or not, is vitality
interested in keeping the Christiana
open for commercial traffic. Ii mat
ters not whether one does business
along the river front or not. all are
concerned. and each should bear his
Droportionate share of the cost Of i'm
proving our waterways and keeping
them in navigable condition. This be-
ing the case. it would not be fair to ex-
pect those who own property along the
river to bear alone that share OF the
expense of maintaining a desirable
deDth of the stream which the Federal
Government regards as belonging TO
the city. The duty. therefore. Of bear
ing such burden with respect to this
work as may fall to the lot of the city
Is not private one, but belongs to the
people as a whole. and the expense
should be met in a public way-by
public taxation. The big establish
ments along the Christiana already
contribute literally for the purpose of
keeping the stream open to traffic.
and no doubt these contributions will
be continued. ANY additional burdens
in this direction that may be necessary
should be borne by the city as a whole

Ibis Dwelling Is Nor Assessed

1t is only spider web, and it hangs
in the city tax office above the gas
meter It's shiny, silken threads have
been turned a rusty brown by an ac-
cumulation of dust and dead flies. 1t
really is ugly to the sight, instead of
being a thing of scientific study and
beauty. Why it Is left where it hangs
is one of the mysteries of the depart
ment
How many administrations the web
has seen does not appear on the rec
ords. nor has it been officially reported
among the assets, SO far as can be
learned. It is hanging stubbOrnly from
the ceiling, and MAS withstood the as
saults of the janitress. the wind, and
the jokes Of assessors, special assessors
and members of Council.
It comes under the head Of dwellings.
but 1t never has been assessed. Ac-
cording to the wisdom of Messrs. Nc
CAN, Lewis and Sayers, the web was
built by an "epiera diadema," better
known as a common garden spider"
The Wayfarer was assured that the
little insect continues to reside in this
dust-coated home.
"llhis spider Is equipped with more
than a thousand little glands, with
separate excretory ducts in which to
secrate the viscid material for build
ing webs" explained Mr. Sayers
These little ducts ultimately enter the
six prominent arachnidial mammillae,
projecting from the hinder end of the
abdomen, and having their terminal
faces beset with minute arachnidial
papillae, by which this secretion of
silken threads is poured out. This
species Of 'epiera diadema tax office
webb is in high repute for staunching
blood, and these fine threads are en-
ployed for the cross lines in astr0nomi-
cal telescopes. They also have been
made into textile fabrics as articles of
curiosity.
"The spider that spun this web is said
to be predaceOus. and has captured in
the ambushes. devices. nets and traps
contained in this wonderful web many
victims Of the fly species. Scores Of
people have noticed the web. It is
one of the special features in the Of
fee"

that Mr.. Sayers said about the spider

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
II Was a lively Cigar

While going his rounds on Saturday
morning, the Wayfarer received a cigar
rrom young member of the bar IL had
the appearance of being a good, peace
able, and well-behaYed Colorado Ma
dura, but when a match was applied
TO 1t, there followed an eruption. Il
was genuine "Stinko Profundo" of
the finest tyne The Wayfarcr took the
'ill-smclling weed around on King street
between Eighth and Ninth, where it
created a sensation Market women
examined their skirts to see if they
were on fire. Everybody shifted the
air and man said:
Il smell something burning"
Pale and exhausted from contact with
the cigar, the Wayfarer wended his
way in Tenth street to Market. hold
ing the burning "stinl1o" at arms
length. At Tenth and Market streets
he met Officers Michael Maloney and
john Ward. They seemed 10 be in
hurry, and when asked what was up,
said, as They shifted the air:
We smell something like morocco
burning"
Don't worry, gentlemen, here's
what's burning"
The officers took a sniff. That's
it, they said, as they retreated.
The Wayfarer next sauntered into
THE office of the Kenross Gold Mining
Company In the Ford building. The
cigar was casting forth It's perfume
without assistance. IL was but a few
minutes before Manager Thompson
was looking under the radiator
What are You looking for?"
There is a smell of something burn
ing, and / Thought maybe one of my
overshoes had got under the steam
pipes and was burning was the replyas
he turned out the waste basket.
In the meantime, the young woman
was putting her clothing
through a critical examination to see
II she was on fire.
When the source Of the smell was dis
closed Mr.. Thompson replaced the of |
lending cigar by a genuine ten-center. |
He confiscated the "stinko."
