TEDDY AND TRUSTS.

The presidents 4th of July
speech was an eye opener to hi-
party. In speaking OF the trusts
and combines he said:
The tremendous and highly
complex industrial development
which went on With ever acceler.
ated rapidrty during the latter
half OF the nineteenth century
brings MS face to face with very
serious social problems.
The old laws and old customs
which had almost the binding
force of law. were once quite sutfi-
Gent to regulate the accumulation
and distribution of wealth.
Since the industrial changes
which have 80 enormously in
creased the productive power of
mankind. they tmeaning the old
laws and old customs) are no
longer sufficient"
In that speech the president
called the attention of the people
to the danger which the Nobility
OF Capital threatens our republic
or free institutions. Coupled with
speech is the presidents resolution
to regulate the trusts. Therein
he will fall down. For thirty
years there have been state and
national laws to regulate the rail
roads when they were in their in
fancy and in only one instance
did the people succeed. In Iowa
the Grange passed a law such rs
the people demanded. As a result
the railroads acted so badly that
the state was soon glad 10 let the
railroads alone.
Prof. Ely says: "If there is any
serious student of economic life
who believes that anything sub
stantisl has been gained by all the
laws passed against trusts. by all
the newspaper editorials which
have thus far been penned. by all
the sermons which have been
preached against them, by all the
speeches Of politicians denouncing
them, this authority has yet TO be
heard from"
Teddy is yonng; when he lie
older he will have learned that the
only way to destroy trusts is TO
substitute something better.

The Rev. Charles |. Stengle, of

OF Representatives and a former
Dover pastor, was summoned before
Magistrate Wood of Dover yester-
day at the instance of former Sec
retary Of State John d. Hawkins
for the recovery Of a handsome
dress suit case
Hawkins asserted that on the day
Of The minister's marriage the latter
was unable to find his suit case.
Hawkins, whowas one Of the guests
offered the use of his, which, he as
serted, was accepted but the case
was never returned.
The Rev. Mr.. Stenela admitted
borrowing the grip, but offered
evidence TO show that he had sent
it back to its owner.
The magistrates decision was
against the minister for the sum of
Si5.3S.
The Rev. Mr.. Stengle came to
Dover last week to spend few days
with friends here and Mr.. Hawkins

For mcry the steamer when running
in an icy channel trembled to such

The vibration was caused by the

SUNSHINE AFTER

Weather Of Coming Few Days

the morning, but as the mercury
mounted this form OF moisture was
changed into ,sieet and later into

with the mixture and The streets
were slippery and dangerous to
horses as well as pedestrians. The
car lines were tied up at intervals in
various rarts OF the city because ol
the slippery tracks. and on some Of
the streets horses fell and caused
still further delay.
Late in the afternoon the rain
held up, but the sky continued to
remain overcast, and the payements
were full of slush and the streets of
mud. Altogether. 81 of an inch of
snow, sleet and rain fell during the
day. The wind blew from the south
at the rate of 12 miles an hour and
helped to send the temperature up,
making the contrast >etween Sun

The Indications for to-day are
for fair weather and fresh south

Much Rivalry Among Democratic Lawyers
For Att0rneyship.

1t is understood that State Sena-
tor ARENAS Smith will use every
effort to seat his brother, Martin
L. Smith, in the chair Of the Clerk
OF the Senate. lie has G good chance
of success, 1t is said, as Smith will
probably be supported by the other
members who may desire the sup
port OF Senator Smith in securing
the passage of bills they may offer
tor action.
Should Smith succeed in having
his brother slated at the meeting
which will be held in Dover at 2
o'clock on the afternoon preceding
the meeting of the Legislature, it is
hi ghly probable that the Democra-
tic attorney will be selected from
Kent County. This will be a blow
to Edward W. Cooch, William F,
Smalley, and Baldwin 7. Springer,
OF this county who are most prom.
inently mentioned, in this connec-
ton, of the candidates from New
Castle County. Mr.. Smalley is ad-
far in the lead at present.
There also a great deal Of specu
lation as to with which party the
Regular Republicans will unite in
the selection Of officers. While the
latter are saying nothing, it is be-
ieved in some quarters that they
will unite with the Democrats to
oppose John Edward Addicks to
whom both parties seem to be OPP
posed with equal bitterness, by pre-
venting the selection of any mem
Der of the Union Republican faction
