The Fate of Delaware
nm the PHILADELPHIA Record.


President Roosevelts emphatic rec
oenitlon OF ]. Edward Addicks as the
political power in Delaware by the re-
appointment Of his defeated candidate
for Congress- to the Office Of United
STATES District Attorney cannot fall TO
excite the strongest indignation. A lit
tie srhrk kindleth a great fire, and une
President may discover that by this
act he has caused a conhagration great
enough to consume him.
Although the public has never OBJ
served in MIR Addiclxs of Delaware
any qualifications for political life, he
long ago conceived the idea of obtain
ing a seat in the Senate Of the United
States. He had seen others reach tnat
eminent body by crooked ways, and,
emulous Of their methods of success, he
pitched into little Delaware as the
stepping stone to his ambition. What
doubtless determined this sinister
choice was the rumor that great deal
OF corruption had polluted that State
since the adoption of negro suffrage. lie
had heard that voters could be bought
ND there Ike sheep, and he conceived
that by iudicious use Of his money II
would not be very difficult for him to
purchase seat In the Senate from a
LEGISLATURE having but ffty-odd mem
bers OF whom he needed only a ma
jority.
But in this Mr. Addicks reckoned
without his host. Although Delaware

A Scotch Joke

College boys are incorTigible praoti-
cal jokers. A story comes to us from
Scotland of an examiner at Edinburg
University vino had made himself OBJ
noxious by warning the students
against putting their hats on his desk.
The University in the Scottish capital
is remarkable for a scarcity Of cloak
rooms, and in the excitement of exam
nations hats are, or used to be, flung
down anywhere. The examiner am
nounced one day that if he found an
other hat on his desk he would rip it
up. The next day no hats were laid
thare when the students assembled.
Presently, however, the examiner was
called out of the room. Then some
wicked undergraduate slipped from
his seat, got the examiners own hat
and placed it on his desk. When the
examiner re-entered the hall every
eye was fixed on him. He observed the
hat, and gleam of triumph shot across
his face Gentlemen" he said, Il told
you what would happen if this occurred
again" Then he took his penknife
from his pocket, opened it and blandly
cut the hat in pieces, amidst prolonged
applause. What he said when he dis
covered that it was his own hat is not
tellable even in Gaelic.

Difficult to Understand

From the Pittsburg dispatch.
The Presidents appointment of w.
M. Byrne to be United States District
Attorney for Delaware is calculated to
puzzle disinterested observers. Byrna
resigned the office in October to be
come the candidate of the Addicks fac
ticn for Congress against Congress-
man Ball. The result Of his activity
was somewhat remarkable for a Re
publican OfticehOlder-the election of q
Democrat Yet fresh from his triumph
in reducing the Republican majority
in the House of Representatives this
facticnist is rewarded by reappoint-
ment to the office which he resigned.
Naturally the Addicks element point
to the appointment as Presidential rec
Ognition of their nOisome leader. it is
advanced that there was no intention
of recognizing Addicks; that the Presi-
dent simply returned to Byrne what
he had laid down-a lame explanation.
Southern officehOlders have been
roughly separated from the pie count
er for activity no more pernicious. It
is impossible to understand amy basis,
moral or political, upon which the fac
ton in Delaware which has cheated the
Republicans out of two Representa-
uyes in the United States Senate and
one in the House OF Representatives
can be entitled TO amy partition of pa
tronage.

Is impossible TO understand amy basis,
moral or political, upon which the fac
tion in Delaware which has cheated the
Republicans out of two Representa-
tives in the United States Senate and
one in the House OF Representatives
can be entitled TO amy partition of pa
trOnage.
Il is impossible to believe the report
that President Roosevelt's reappoint-
ment of William NJ. Byrne to the Dis
trict Attorneyship in Delaware means
that he will hereafter recognize the
Addicks faction because of its num-
erical superiority" Mr.. Byrne Resigned
to run for Congress, and it is possible
that there were reasons to be found in
his past conduct of his office which
rendered his reappointment desirable.
To suppose that President Roosevelt
would deliberately do his best, at this
stage OF the long fight against the
degradation of Delaware, to strengthen
The hands OF Addicks, is to think that
the President has thrown his political
morality to the winds, and that he be-
lieves now only in the largest battalions
without regard to their cause. or their
leadership. Nothing in our American
political life has been more inspiring
of late than the determined efforts made
by a few loyal sons to prevent the
isoiling Of Delaware's good name
through the triumph of Addicksism
and all that this loathsome word i'm
plies. There is no national emergency
which might induce the President tC
compromise for the sake of getting one
or two more Republican Senators
