There are indications OF return to
sanity on the part OF the Republicans
of delaware After the bitterness
which the strife of the last decade has
engendered, harmony cannot be Sc
cured without mutual concessions. The
Regular Republicans at various times
have presented the names OF their
honored men as candidates for high Of
fees. They have supported them loyal
ly. because Of strong personal attaoh-
ments. and for the reason that these
men REPRESENTED their ideals. But let
II not be forgotten that they have
offered to make great sacrifices-sacrl-
fees which cause them deep regret, ana
vet they can allow no individual pref
erences TO stand in tine way Of the party
honor and success. In all fairness. II
must be admitted by all men not ruled
by prejudice, That several of the Re
publican leaders, men who have been
honored by the support of their con
stituents, have generously yielded any
personal claim on the party and have
recommended compromises which
would result in practically eliminating
them from the race for a great office.
There is an element here OF manhood
and unselfshness which should de-
mand admiration, not abuse.
Now the Regular Republicans stand
on the proposition that the situation
calls for the election of two United
States senators, and they have offered
in good faith plan TO secure this end,
which would give to the Union Repub-
licans the advantage OF a scheme under
which they might secure both OF these
officers. This tender should be met
by some reasonable concession. An
attitude OF unwavering hostility on
the part of the Union leaders will not
always be- tolerated by the voters Of
the party. The Regular Republicans
have made their tender in good faith,
and they win maintain their dignity
and if concession is not TO be met by
concession. harmony cannot come. If
the extended hand of friendship is 20
be rejected, still the dignity OF those
making the pronor win not be i'm

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
Mr.. uepew's Plan

From the New York Tribune
Senator Dcpcw's amendment to the
scheme for olocung United States sena-
tors by popular vote is probably no more
intended to bring about that change than
was Senator Pcnrosc's impossible sug-
gcstion Of proportional representation IN
the Senate. 10 ls. however plausible;
so plausible that those who demand di-
rect popular representation In the Senate
will hnd it difficult TO oppose this de-
velopment of their theory in the di-
rection of more perfect representation.
Nr Dcpews proposition is that II sena-
.ors are to be elected by a popular vote
the United states Government shall
make uniform rules for the suffrage in
senatorial elections so that the senators
may truly represent the people Of the
various States. and not in one state
represent the body Of the citizenship and
In another small oligarchy.
Mr. Depew says he does not In general
sympa,hize with reduction Of represen-
tation an the Southern states or any in
reference with the local affairs of COM
monwealths, but he holds that 81 we are
going 10 depart from the theory that the
Senate represents the Stbtcs in their cor
porate and so-called sovereign capacity,
and make Il tho representative Of tho In
Idividual citizens. then we ought TO have
a common standard of citizenship. As a
popular representative body the Senate
where two hundred thousand and tv'
million people have the same voice, d
ridiculous. but that cannot be changed
for the equality OF small States Il
guaranteed OF course, the Senate wa

to be the council Of the states as States
When. however, thls principle is reversed

Crusade AgaInst Tobacco

To the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: Members of the Woman s
Christian Temperance Union, of Stan
ton and Mahshallton have been
grieved to see small boys smoking
cigarettes, and they have resolved to
do everything in their power to save
the boys from this dreadful tobacco
habit Eminent physicians have ac-
lSnowledged that narcotics are posi-
lively injurious, mentally and physic-
ally. We have placed in the hands OF
each storekeeper in our towns a copy
of the cigarette law, and do beg OF the
same not TO sell this poison to the
boys, which does not only injure the
body and brain. but often causes death.
We are circulating the anti-tobacco
pledge. and quite a number of our boys
have signed II. and We kindly ask all
the storekeepers of our towns not to
sell or give tobacco in any form to
boys under age of II years, or this law
will havo to be enforced.

MEAT PRICES SOARING

The price Of meat still continues to
advance, and no one is able to predict
just whore it is going to stop. The
prices ruling now are the highest for
the last twenty years, and there is no
prospect of decline The unfortunate
thing in this condition is the added
burden it imposes on the working
men. since while others may modify
their hAl of fare. with him meat is a
necessity. The dealers are deploring
the condition. since their profits are
small and they must bear the burden
of all complaints. There is now nc
doubt that the whole output is in The
hands Of a combination which hai
forced up prices, and is determined e
exact the last penny possible.
