That causes indignation, and we de-
mand that the law shall be no re-
spector OF persons. and while sympa-
thy is undoubtedly with the unfortu-
nate men. yet the public must be pro-
tected. and the law knows no way but
to punish the guilty.
We notice that the Every Evening
and the Morning News agree with our
position. and we imagine that all men
who do not allow their personal feel
ing to interfere with their judgment,
win take a similar attitude. In this
State in the past many offenders
against the law have escaped justice,
and there is fear that the Board of
Pardons may become too lenient II
is not pleasant thing to listen TO the
pleas of friends and acquaintances and
to set them aside. but if offenders are
not to be punished, offenses will multi
ply. Disputes between men are apt to
arise. but If when one takes the law
into his own hands and proceeds to
brutally assault another, a pardon is
awaiting him, our protection is gone

When the porwoods Bloom


When the dogwood trees begin to
bloom.
And the wheat is growing rank,
sit out here in my old chair,
With only my God TO thank.
sit out here and watch the sun
Just coaxin' things to grow,
The great blue sky spread overhead,
And the bright young world below,
And the rheumatic Just says good
bye"
And these old joints of mine
Get limbered up, and my blood just
runs
Like rivers of good old wine.
In the winter time pme all Gagged up,
And ! sit and fret and fume,
But its good bye crutch and medicine,
When the dogwood blossoms bloom.
That clover field where the cattle
roam
All day with never care
Il makes me feel like a boy again,
And | go and waller there.
DO you hear that rooster growing
there.
BY gum! he's a feelin fine;
Likewise the spirit animates
These poor old bones of mine,
And get to chasin' humble bees,
And my daughter hollers; hey!
Your gettin' spry these spring-like
days.
And leases me that away.
SO / take my stick and hobble out
Where there's plenty Of elbow room.
And saunter along by the edge Of the
woods
When the dogwood blossoms bloom.
Sometime them blossoms will all come
out.
And the old man never see
How beautiful they are, and sweet,
Nor the way that they smile for me
The clover fields will wave and toss,
And the birds will sing in vain,
Cause the rheumatic is after me,
And will soon come back again.
I'll wrestle with II for a little spell,
But then / shall loose my breath,
And go to sleep meath the dogwoo
trees,
n And the people will call it death"
But I somehow think when the warn
sun shines.
1t will pierce through the awrl
gloom;
There will be thrill in the old ma,
still.
When the dogwood blossoms bloom.

NEM Bids FoR LIGHTs

The Street and Sewer Commission
has reconsidered its action in adopt
ing a resolution granting a modified
contract to the Welsbach Lighting
Company, and adopts a resolution TO
the effect that the alleged contract
passed by the old commission and
signed by the former mayor will be
considered null and void. The secre-
tary has been directed to advertise for
bids for gas lights, and one phase of
tho agitation is over.
We do not attempt a prediction of
the outcome lt looks as though the
city would have to defend a suit in
court. that may take a long time to
settlc. Involve expense and uncer-
talnty and possibly terminate in an
adverse decision Suppose that under
the new bids the contract should be
awarded to another concern, and fol-
lowing this the courts should sustain
the Welsbach contract, we should
have a well-lighted city for ten years,
shouldn't we? There are persons who
have been fighting this contract who
will view the result with feelings not
unmixed. The contract is repudiated,
It is true. but the new bids will call
for gas" lamps.
This whole matter has been thresh-
od over till we are tired of it. It is
to be regretted that the commission
did not stand by its guns, and pass the
measure over the Mayors veto. If II
would have been a good contract with
his approval, it would have beer
equally good without It. AS It is
three men yield their judgments Il
one. We have no doubt that the.
thought their action was best, but w
think they ceased to be firm at /
point where firmness would have beei
a virtue We venture to predict tha
contract more favorable than tn
one ropudiated, cannot be secured un
der the new bids.

The Beef Trust
Congress

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
The meat packers and certain trad,
journals continue to protest that There
is no Beef Trust In the face OF tais
declaration evidence is daily accumu.
lating which indicates clearly a com.
bination of some sort to control the
meat market and force this food pro.
duct to abornmally high prices. SUM-.
cient, in fact, has already come to light
to warrant the Government in begin.
ming legal proceedings in Chicago, Kan
sas City and other important meat
packing centres.
The Trust has persistently asserted
that the high prices are due not to it,
manipulation, but to a scarcity of cat
tie, and higher prices demanded by the
raisers and dealers. But within the
last day or two the incowectness OF
this allegation has been made mani
fest by the cattle raisers and dealers
themselves. A hard blow has been dealt
the Trust by the people. Fully one
half. 1t is said, have refused to pur-
chase meats at their present eXtortion-
ate prices, and in consequence the re-
frlgerators of the Trust are filled to
overflowing with meat, much Of which
must certainly spoil. In a wild effort
to save themselves from loss the
packers in the combine attempted 10
squeeze the dealers and these are in
retaliation giving ample proof that
there is no great scarcity of cattle, as
has been alleged. With the cattle rails
ers and dealers, the people and the
Government authorities arrayed against
it, the Beef Trust is in a fair way to
be punished for its apparent present
wIong-doers.

We shall now have another batch Of
stories regarding Philippine cruelties.
The other day the Americans attacked
fort held by a band of Moros and
after killing a few sultans, dattos and
other gentlemen, took the rest captive.
Later these tried to escape. and the
result was that thirty-hve more were
slain. It looks to us as though this
slaughter was unnecessary, and. there
fore. brutal. We didn't have to attack
that fort; had they menaced our troops
they might have scuttled, to avoid any
unplesantness. But after they were
captured. and wanted to escape why
should they have been prevented from
doing so? To detain them was an in
reference with their personal liberty;
It was in defiance of the Declaration,
the Constitution, the speeches of
Thomas Jefferson. Edward Atkinson
and William J. Bryan. TO shoot these
prisoners down when they were at
tempting TO escape was wanton
cruelty, and there should be a court
martial at once. How long must death
continue an incident of warfare?

PUNISHMENT or oFFENpEHs

Presumably a Board OF Pardons is
constituted for the purpose of recon-
mending clemency in extraordinary
cases. It was never contemplated that
this body should act the part of CEN
sor Of the courts. At times a doubt
arises as to the guilt OF a prisoner,
or in extraordinary cases, a prisoner
after serving considerable time may be
pardoned because Of ill-health. But

evidence being unquestioned, and a
jury has returned verdict Of guilty

NEWSPAPER OPINION

Il Is Not a True "Recoro
From the New York Mail and Express.
The complaint which the Baltimore
American makes against the Congress
sional Record and its editorial man
agement is well founded. The Record
is not at present conducted for the
benefit of the people who pay for it,
but for the convenience and Interior
political purposes of the members Of
Congress.
When an average representative in
THE lower House, for instance, is per-
mitted by Speaker Henderson TO make
a speech. he is perfectly we'll aware
that il will not be reported in the
newspapers.
What he wants to do is to get h:
remarks before his constituents in the
most impressive way He does not
even expect them to read his speech
but he wants them TO know that hi
made Il, and to suppose that il is o.
consequence. So he does what th'
rules permit him to do and the practic'
of the House encourages him in doinl
l-lhe takes his speech out of the repor

Ir REouIREs rHouGHT

The proposition OF the Seven Regu-
lar Republicans which we published
yesterday must not be lightly passed
over. The situation is too grave for
recrimination. II demands an answer
that shall go to the root of the matter,
not a mere evasion more or less
plausible.
The burden of settling the present
difficulty does not rest primarily on
the State Committees, but rests
squarely upon the shoulders of the
members Of the legislature. They are
charged with this duty, and to the
present moment have not discharged
il. For the present it is not for the
good Republicans Of Delaware to cud-
gcl their brains over the possibilities
OF electing a legislature next fall,
which shall prove more reasonable.
That effort is no more likely to sue
seed them a similar effort two years
ago II is rather for us to remember
that the present legislature yet exists,
and that If there is any manifest in
tention OF electlng senators the Cover
nor stands pledged to call an extra
session.
This being true It is the duty of
every good Republican to urge the
acceptance Of any proposition that is
reasonable and fair. and even to de-
mand it. The seven gentlemen max
ing this proffer. It must be remem-
bered. have nothing personal TO gain
by its acceptance. It is possible under
It TO elect two senators, neither of
whom would be their personal choice.
They. reserve only the negative power
of saying that a notoriously unfit man
shall not be elected They may be
accused of various motives. but their
unselhshness cannot be questioned.
II these Union Republican members
will think over the whole situation
calmly, and without pressure from
those who are personally interested
they may reach certain wholesome
conclusions. They may discover that
at the bottom Of this dispute is col
losal selishness. and that Reunited
party can come only when generosity
is met with generosity. There ar,
persons who assume TO be politica
leaders whose occupations would b
some. should the party elect two sena
tors. II the Union Republican mem
bers listen to these. there will be II,
harmony.
But in any event the member wit
decides TO reject this proposition
without weighing the .consequesoes
cannot be thinking Of his politica
future. In the long run the peopl
are Just and wise, and when all eye
become opened we imagine that thos
who have served only their own SCI
FISH ends will spend years in tryin
TO explain.

Philippines, and is by Israel Putnam, a
collateral descendant of the famous
Revolutionary general whose name he
bears. The story is we'll written. The
characters are living, breathing real
people, who act and talk as human be-
inss act and talk. The motif is the
old one of loves sacrifice. but the story
is modern and a distinct departure
from the conventional. In the book
are discussed the vital questions with
which the United States Government
is concerned. such as the "canteen
question" which it picturesquely yet
convincingly put, self government for
the Philippines and the social rela-
