E MARCUS "A. HANNAS 5 statement
chat his chief aim in life is to help
along the cause of the Golden Rule
has brought him into even greater
prominence in the religious world.
In an address on Capital and La
Dor before the Chautauqua Assem-
bly, recently, Senator Hanna said:
''We remember the Golden Rule
and try to live up to its principles.
This is the only way | know to set
tie the dispute between Capital and
Labor"
Again, in concluding his address,
he said
II hope that you will remember
that there is an individual RESPONSE
bility that calls for each and every
one who Has the means and oppor.
tunity to do what he can to help
along this cause of the Golden
Rule"
''Splendidw exclaims New York
clergyman. But how do the deeds
of Senator Hanna correspond with
his wordsl'
Here is a girl working for five
dollars week. In going to and
from her work she is compelled to
spend sixty cents week in car fare.
We will add another dime for
church. Now Mayor Tom L. John
son has found capitalists willing to
undertake the construction of some
seventy miles of street railroad to
be operated on a three-cent basis.
IT Mayor johnson were permitted
tc carry out this project, the differ
ence in the rate would amount to
an increase of nearly three per cent
in the wages of this girl.
II Mr.. Hanna is trying to live up
to the principles of the Golden Rule
what should be his attitude toward
this enterprise He should forget
that he is United States Senator
and monopolist. He should put
himself in the place of that girl.
If he were working for five dollars
a week he would not object to q
three per cent increase. He may
have honest doubts about the prac
ticability of three cent fare The
very least he could do, however,
would be to say, TRY it on. | hope
it will succeed. For II reduction of
forty per cent in the cost Of trans
portation would be great relief to
the poor
This latest of Mr. Hanna's trou-
bles certainly must be causing him
some discomfort.
The Republican party is worthy
of the support Of all soo1 citizens,
because:
1t has kept inviolate the honor of
the flag.
1t has always stood for the pro-
lection Of American industries.
1t has always opposed free trade.
1t has always been IL deDt-paylng
and not debt-creating party.
1t benefits all classes, laborer, far
mer, producer manufacturer and
transporter.
1t prefers to encourage the manu-
facture Of new products i'll the
United States rather than import
them from abroad
1t looks upon the whole vorl as
its legitimate market.
It's plans and policies are not for
q day, but it looks ahead and pro-
Vldes for prosperous future.
1t recognizes NO sectional lines
but benefits all parts Of the country
North, South, East and West.
1t could not be made to believe
that 5Ocent dollar WIS an honest
dollar.
1t does not believe in fOmeuting
class hatred for the purpose Of win.
ming few votes.
1t does not want American work
lngmen to live On such low wage,
as are paid i'll Europe.
WE recall that sometime since
The Sunday star, which lupIy has
become sort If watch dog Of the
county treasury, attempted to force
through the Legislature lii which
would have compelled New Castle
County to pay tn" Star a large sum
OF money to which, 1t was eHli It
was not entitled. We haven't heard
OF any other printing houses en-.
ploylug similar methods to collect
from the county, money honestly
due them.
1t Is no concern Of the business
men VINO recently obtained orders
to do certain printing for the ruuu-
ty, what the star would have
charged for the work; the men who
dld the work are rupUtub.c, and the
charges made i.re not eXOrbltaMt,
considering the nature Of tie work,
Notwithstanding what howl the Star
may make against them, Doubtless
the Levy tudrt looks upon the Stars
protest rs sour grapes.
THIS talk Of a JOB holders Tn
Ion" being oSganiHrl among Re
publlCans tOCOutrol the Court House
Offices, is the usual Democratic rot
that gets into circulation just be
fore the Republican party prepares
for a grand sweep Of everything
In sight. There need be no fear IF
such a monopoly; the Republicans
OF this county will ~r" to it that
only the best men a.e uuminatpl
for, and elected to the touuty off
ces. We don't think that mernb er-
ship in the "Jobholders' Cnion'
bars them from aspiring to public
Offices, or makes them incapable Of
honestly performing the official du-
ties they may be called upon by the
voters to perform.
