OUR OWN AFFAIR

Speaking of the proposition for com
mon primaries in New Castle county
and las rejection. Republican Glasses
in the Sunday Star, we imagine voices
the sentiments Of nine out OF every
ten Republicans in the county. A part
of the article reads:
S. Frank Ewart chairman Of the
Union Republican County Committee,
has replied to Congressman l.. Heisler
Ball, who is chairman of the Republi-
can organization. in which he says
that The matter OF common primaries
has been taken from the county com
mittee by the Union Republican State
Committee. Mr.. Ewart might have
gone a little further in his frankness
and declared that the matter has never
really rested in the Union Repub-
lican State Cmmittee. but rests entirely
with J.. Edward AddicSs, whose dictate
or whim is mechanically carried out
by his State Committee. BE this as il
may. Mr. Addicks is we'll aware that he
cannot afford to stand in the way of
common primaries in New Castle
county. for the voters will not tolerate
any such methods. Because MIR. Ad-
dicks is a candidate for United States
senator is no reason why he should de-
eide to keep Republicans out Of the
county and district offices in New
Castle county. In a recent signed
statement Mr. Addicks bOasted that 9C
per cent. OF the Republicans were IA
volable to his candidacy, and II this
he true he should have no compuncion
about going into common primaries
for surely 80 per cent would over.
whelm the remaining 10 per cent oi
Republicans, and Addicks would have
nothing to fear Common primaries
are demanded in New Castle county
and what the voters in Kent or SUSSEX
want does not concern the Organi-
cations in this part of the State. Let
the Kent and Sussex Republicans settle
their own disputes. The voters in New
Castle have begun 10 settle theirs, anC
# common primaries are not arranget
there viii be no Republican Legisla
tme. or Republican success in Della
ware this year.

"Joe Did II"
1rom Lhe Detrolt Free Preas.

From the Detroit Free Press.
After two years and seven months
of warfare, the greatest empire that
tne world has known since the days
OF the Caesars has succeeded IN eX-
hausting the resources Of two burgher
republics with a combined population
less than that of Liverpool The pro-
cess of smearingi red over these two
small spots on the map of Africa has
cost the victorious nation nearly 3d.
600 lives and nearly $1,000 900, 900 in
treasure. 1t has nearly destroyed the
military prestige of an empire. It has
involved the prostitution of the ideals
of a great people. 1t has bequeathed
a legacy Of race hatred to half a con-
|tinent BY the diversion of wealth
and energy. Il has cost the English
their industrial supremacy and exposed
the weakness of the empire to all her
enemies.
On the other side of the ledger, there
is something TO show. It has been de
termined for the time being that all Of
Southern Africa shall be ruled by the
British There has been a drawing to-
|gether Of the mother country and some
of her colonies. which has brought a
certain sense Of security to the English
at home. But when this is said, all is
said. and even the most enthusiastic
lingo would have difficulty in demon
strating that the victory has been
worth to Great Britain a 1.-THE of the
cost.
Crowds thronging around Mr.. Cham
berlain's carriage in the streets of
London shouted Historically: You
dit it, Joe, you did it," For
once the honor was thrust upon the
man tnat deserved it. Mr.. Chamber
lain certainly did it. 1t was his war.

THE PENNsYLyANIA FIGHT

From present indications Pennsylva-
MIA viii hold one Of the most interest
ing State conventions in her history
on Wednesday next. The fight is be-
tween Quay and his former lieutenant
Elkin. At the present writing IL ap-
pears that neither can control a ma
jority of the delegates. and there may
be a battle royal in the endeavor to Sc
cure additional support.
This campaign is interesting anC
peculiar For years Ellxin was one o
the most subservient followers of Quay
He made himself exceedingly obnox
ious TO the independents by stoppin
at nothing which might advance tn
personal or political interests Of hi
master. In return Quay looked out fO
him. and gave him the office of attol
ney-general for his loyalty. SO far a
had been we'll, but at that stage Elk
took it into his head that he wanted I
be governor, and counted confidently G
the support Of the machine. But Qua
saw the drift of public sentiment, an
remembered that twice within h
memory the people had taken it in
their heads TO overwhelm gubern
terial candidates named by him. Thl
Elkin was plainly told that he mu
give over his aspiration and step asi
for a more acceptable man. Instead
the expected submission, Quay "
met by open rebellion, and Elkin pl
ceeded to strengthen his lines by
methods which he had learned fr'
his former master.

nnnEaArns AM rRIMARIns

In commenting ON the proposition
for common primaries for New Castle
county. several of our contemporaries
have been slightly in error in discuss
ing the custom of nominating members
of the Legislature which obtains in
Kent and Sussex. It has been said that
In the two lower counties these candi-
dates are nominated at county conyen-
tons. and while this is true, yet the
selections are made by the delegates
from the respective districts, and only
in case where there is inability for
these delegates to agree, does the con-
vention as a whole make the nomina-
tions.
Yet a wide difference between the
custom in this county and that of the
two lower counties prevails. Here the
candidates are selected directly at the
primaries by plurality vote, while the
delegate system in the lower counties
prevails. Our system offers the simplest
ana best method for ascertaining the
will o. the voters. There may be q
half-uozen candidates and each has Q
chance. but under the delegate system
slate is made up by the leaders and
their men are sent TO the convention
and while there are under the direc
and directing influence OF the machine
1t is as important that the vote
should have the right of free choice al
the primary as at the general election
and our system offers the best solution
Of the problem. It really makes tw'
elections: one within the party, an
another which includes all voters.

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
a VegetarIan VlctorY

From the Toledo Blade.
The high price OF meats has led &c
considerable newspaper discussion OF
the charge that we eat too much ami
NAL food and that we would be health
ier and stronger did we substitute a
vegetable diet in its stead. A bit OF
news from Europe adds a corrobo-
rative fact. Carl Mann, a vegetarian,
won the international running race
between Berlin and Dresden, 125 miles,
i'm y hours. 10 minutes. and 1415
seconds. lie beat the second man, a
meat eater, by one hour and forty-five
inmates
His time is worthy of note also be-
cause it surpasses a famed classical
feat--that OF the Greek runner, who
carried the news Of the victory of
Marathon to Athens. 14O miles, in
forty-eight hours. While that famous
Greek had a fifteen miles longer route,
and probably worse roads than those
between Berlin and Dresden, he had
the patriotic inspiration of a tremen-
dous victory for the Greeks to bear
him up and give fleetness TO his feet.
The moderns are certainly the equals
physically of the ancients, aside from
any question of diet.

"Oh. it was not much, but If you
want to know, l guess it will do no
harm to tell YOU"
BY this time. several people who had
been interested listeners, began to
smile in anticipation.
The veteran was anxiously awaiting
his companions reply, and he did not
have long to wait
well. / heard that the reason you
were so cool at Gettysburg, was be-
cause you were hiding three miles off
from the fight IN an ice-house."
The veteran jumped to his feet and
marched off amid the laughter of the
bystanders.
