The suprrme court of Mississippi
has ruled tfat o guard or contractor
cannot legally chastise a convict. even
though it be iop discipline. It may
not be legal, but SO long as the state
hires them out it would seem that the
contractor must have some means OF
getting the labor which he pays for.
The mills at Dwight and Vinegar
Bend would have hard time getting
along with their convicts if they were
deprived of the privilege of corrective
nieasapes. It's bad business eli
around. and simply resolves itself in
to the fact that the state should have
control of its own convicts and not
hire them out. Nc one blames the
millmen and others for hiring them;
the state is to blame for giving them
the privilege. Chronicle Call.
Our neighbpr seems to overlook
the fact that there is line-imagin-
airy if you please, but there, never
theless-between Chronicle and Mis-
sissiltl,i. While II would perhaps be
difficult for private concerns TO get
the proper amount of work out of
soma e0nvicts, yet the state in which
the decision will have effect, has dis
continued the practice of hireing out
felony oonvicts. the state keeping and
working them, And as intimated by
the Call, the change is good apd most
salutary. The state gets more money

think the most serenely happy per-

woman starting. out to travel around the
world with very little scrip in her purse,
and no appreciable amount of. luggage

care-free as it is given us to be In these
DAYS of civilization. She could leave
her stateroom with no fear her bag OF
Jewels would be discovered and distracted
she had no bag of Jewels; wore on her
person the brooch that had descended to
her from her mother. the tiny Swiss
watch her father had given her, her
sole golden possessions. She had money
enough to take her TO the next port, and
was confident there she could earn suffi-
cient to take her to the one beyond.
And the friends she made she could ac-

she had not wealth nor power to use as
decoys And friends not few there were
she gathered to herself on her travels;
men and women attracted by her truthful,
buoyant personality, whose cOntagion they
sought as the moth the flame, but with
happier result. The last heard of her
she was half way round the world, still
with a light purse and a light heart.
This friend lacked the possession OF
beauty, yet wherever she went she won
her way to the hearts of those about her.
Observing her set me philosophiZing thus:
Happiness is the most attractive holding

DELAWARE'S HOT
POLITICAL FIGHT
J. Edward Addicks Seeks Control of
the LeqisIature.
New York Times.


Delaware is in the thrces of political COM
bat. The battle is being waged around J. Ed
ward Addicks as the central figure. 1t has been
and is being conducted with intense fury.
Charges and counter-charges of fraud and vote
buying and debauchery are made by the rival
Republican factions. 1t is the battle of a
rich man who. for a decade. has been trying
to secure an election to the United States SEN
ate, and who, being unable to get the coveted
place, vows that no one else shall have II.
This rich man thinks that he has been doing
merely what rich men in other states have done
in order to secure election TO the senate.
He wonders why 1t is not accepted as a mat
ter of course by the people of the state.
"A congressman and a legislature are to be
chosen this month The legislature VIII, or is
expected 10 elect two United States senators
to NIL vacancies caused by the deadlock which
has deprived the state of representation in the
upper branch Of congress. There are three
tickets for congressman. The Addicks party
has named William Michael Byrne. The anti
Addicks, regular faction. have renomnted
Congressman l.. IL. BALL The Democrats also
have candidate. Both Republican factions
have agreed on candidates for state auditor
and state treasurer This Is as far as the har-
mony has gone. In the two lower counties the
rival factions have named full tickets and
are at each others threats. In this county the
factions agreed to go into a Joint primary cleo
ton to nominate candidates for the legislature
and for the county offices. This has caused
them more trouble than If they never had sug-
gested harmony.
The battle was fought out the other day.
and the carnival of debauehery and fraud has
appalled, even those who have been used to this
sort Of thing. There was almost open buying Of
votes IN two important districts the Addicks
candidates won on the face of the returns but
their opponents cried fraud and declared that
the ballot boxes were stuffed and their candi-
dates counted out. With the alleged illegal
ballots thrown out the regular candidates
would have been nominated and this would
have meant the certain prevention OF Addicks
controlling the legislature. The legislature
would have been carried by the Democrats or
by the Republicans with enough regulars TO con-
tinue the double vacancy, or at least prevent
the election of Addicks.
The FONT Campaign committee however. re-

fused to hear the contest. The regulars then
announced that they would consider their two
men nominated. This angered Mr.. Addieks.
who then came to the city, and without calling
a convention or even conference of his COM
mittee. took down the names OF the county ofh-
GERS nominated jointly, and put up Union Re-
publican ticket to suit his fancy at the head Of
the columns Of his paper. This Mr.. Addieks
considers the Union Republican ticket. but
Il is not likely that he will get a place on
the ofhcial-ballot.
Mr. Addicks has announced positively that
date for congress There was great deal Of
talk of retiring Byrne, when Mr.. Addicks to
stop 1t said that nothing but death could remove
Mr.. Byrne from the Union Republican ticket
and that IL Byrne should die he Addieks, would
be the Union Republican candidate for con-
IL would seem that these actions Of Mr.. Ad-
dicks would cause. trouble among his follow
ers, but they don't. The Union Republicans"
so-called implicitly obey the commands of their
leader The Union Republican view is that
Mr. Addicks has paid the expenses of his party
and therefore should do as he pleases. Not one
of them dares dispute his word.
The sort of campaign practiced In Delaware
for the last ten years has played havoc with
the negro vote Some years ago the negroes
used to be perfectly docile and always voted
the straight ticket. Now the hope OF getting
something out of it, has taken possession of
them They organize clubs and sell to the
highest factional bidder. More and more are
they demanding to be paid. 1t used to be that
of suffrage but in Delaware many voters sim
ply have to be paid for voting. Each year
II Is costing the Republicans more and more
to hold their negro vote and the purchasable
element among them is steadily increasing.
Votes at the Republican primaries sold for from
81 to s. a piece, and at the election 1t is ex-
pected the figure will be much higher.
Against this array of fighting Republicans is
the Salisbury Kenney combination among the
Democrats. The latter are making vigorous
effort to carry the legislature. Their prospects
are now considered bright. Conservative OBJ
servers say that the result of the election de-
ponds on about ten doubtful legislative districts.
Mr.. Addcks to win would have to carry sever
al of the ten doubtful districts. AS the sit
uation stands now It is not believed that he
can do So Some profess to believe that before
the election day Mr. Addicks may 'le down.
and permit the Democrats to control the legis-
lature He would rather do this than allow
his factional opponents to gain advantage
