No Gravity These

Henry S. Pritche.t. President Of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
was at one time instructor OF physics IN
a small preparatory school.
On one occasion student seemed
unusually dense in grasping a funda-
mental law of gravitatiom and the pre-
fessor said to him:
You do not seem to understand
when / say that the attractive force OF
gravity causes objects thrown in Jhe
air to fall back to the earth again. You
must take my word for it. Have you
never heard the saying that whatever
goes up comes DOWN."
The student seemed no better off than
before. "But is that true everywhere? 2
he asked.
The professor was on the point Of
answering "yes. when a joke flashed
into his mind and unable TO let the
opportunity pass, out he came with
it.

From the Seaford News.
In all the list OF blunders made by
the Addicks combination in their
bungling, laundering career the extra
session fiasc0 of asst week was de-
cidedly the worst IN its results. BY it
they proclaimed first that they knew
they were facing sure defeat at the
polls-second, that they could not by
any means breaR the line that was
formed against them in the last Legis-
lature, and third that they were will
ing to sacrifice every man or any man
on their present ticket IL the Regulars
would agree TO go into a weeks session
and elect John Edward Addicks sena-
ter.
Let us hold up these propositions
briefly for the Union Republican voters
OF Sussex county to consider. First
The party managers have blasted their
cnances Of ever hoping for victory in
advance Of the election and say so.
Second. They have falsely stated and
proved the statement false that the
waEt-tO-win element in New Castle
county was strong enough to
help them to yictory-amd
Third. Here is the one phase
that must make the blood boil with
honest indignation in the veins Of every
Jnicn Republican voter Of Sussex
who claims any element Of independ
ence, they deliberately took upon them
selves, did these few leaders. the au
thority to trade any or all parts o
their ticket, il John Edward Addick
could win thereby.
No man who still adheres to tha
party can claim to be ignorant of thee
facts-or II he still supports this mar
can he claim not TO be subject OF bar
ter-for Addicks would have bartere
the entire outfit and OF their politicS
. hopes. There's a challenge to mar
hood in this-how many will stan
q the test?

RoBERTsON THE TACK EATER
The spectacle Of the Hon. Jimmie
Robertson walking the streets Of VIII
mington arm in arm with the Hon. Jay
Ed. Addicks is enough to call out the
health officer. Jimmie was elected on a
pledge to ree every effort to defeot
Addicks. He solemnly promised that
he would never vote for Addlcks unless
asked TO do so by the Republican State
Committee. Let the Hon. Jimmie deny
this, and we will bring the evidencs,

From tie Sussex Republican.
The Addicksites are very despondent

wish they had not been so quick TO
nominate Byrne and proclaim from the
house that they preferred a Democrat

bound to obey their superior, but long

things are at work among them with a

see 1t and seek to suppress them with
the power of money and promises Of
office. This will not suffice to ward of
his defeat. The fiat has gone forth
His doom is sealed. The result will be

EXIT ADDICKs

The latest political rumor is to the
effect that Addicks has withdrawn from
his fight for the Senate and that he
will leave Delaware politics 10 be run
by those who have stomachs for the
job. We might be more credulous were
il not for the fact that these rumors oc-
cur about once a week, and that this
same John Edward Addicks in his po-
litical career has been remarkable for
uttering statements and predictions
that have had a fatal habit of being
untrue But should Addlcks drop out of
politics this would be the time he would
be likely TO choose. He has raised a
lot OF devilment, has placed his tools
on the ticket to defeat the party, and
now on The eve OF election it would be
like him 10 withdraw, before the struc-
ture falls. then he will be able to say:
Without me you can do nothing"
But whether Addicks is in or out, he
is whipped-whipped as he deserves to
be, and the joy of N AL is that the
Legislature. which will refuse to send
him TO the Senate, will probably be Re
publican. That Legislature win choose
two senators. and neither OF them will
be John Edward Atdicks. The clouds
are hitting, and the people are return
ing TO their normal plane OF proper self
respect No State was ever cursed with
such a demagogue, but the day of re-
pudiation has come.
