My dear Lauray: Mister Addicks has

that he can't stand everything. Frank
Alice won't father it nuther, for he says
that when 2 feller gets down to hard
lyin he Ort to make the different parts
gee. HowsOmever, George Roberts says
that he will stand fer hit. and that hit
couldn't be told from his usual run of
stuff
Hit starts out by sayin that the Hon.
John Edward O'Sullivan Addicks, G.
NJ, sticks to his inalyenable right and
perrogative to conduct the bizness OF
his own county as de dern pleazes, and
gives nOtis that Frank and Gale dasn
move a muscle till he gives the order.
Says he. they have THAR little work to
attend to. but them duties is assined by
me. They is like my bOot-black on

Mother at the Gate

There's many a lovely picture on
memory's silent wall,
The sweet home of my childhood
with its singing brooks and birds,
The friends that grew beside me with
their loving looks and words,
The flowers that bedecked the wild
wood. the roses fresh and sweet.
The blue bells and the daisies that
blossomed at my feet.
All are very precious and Ofttimes com,
TO me,
Like the breezes from a better land be-
yOnd life's troubled sea.
But the sweetest. dearest picture that
memory can create,
Is the image of my mother standing al
the garden gate.

A poLIr1CAL nICrAroR

One Of the oldest and most respected
of the stalwart Republicans of Della
ware a man who has been a leader In
the party councils from the time OF
Lincoln. writes the following letter to
the editor regarding the recent mani
festo of the Gasman. II is worth
perusal;
The Morning News is quite right in
saving. 1T is entirely too soon In the
wear for any man to set himself mp as
the political dictator OF the people or
of a party." But IL is well enough TO
let the man have all the rope he
wants. After a few such exhibitions OF
spleen his followers will discover they
have "a fool for a leader" The time
was when the people Of Delaware
would have secuted the bare idea that
any man. much less one with the mere
claim of citizenship, to answer spe-
cial purpose. would presume to issue
such manifesto A presumptuous
boss. seated on pedestal with
money bag at his side bidding for a
senatorship may attach TO himself a
chosen few from purely selfish mo
tives. but what self-respecting Repub-
lican will countenance, much less sub
init to, so gross a breach of decency
and of common sense as is found In
that manifesto?
There was time when the counsel
of this man was sought and Needed
and If that time is passed it is not be-
cause that counsel has grown less
wise. nor the voice uttering II less
earnest Numbers of men in Delaware,
however. have been following false
gods imagining that real leadership is
TO be found in one who has more
money than principle, and who would
not scruple TO use any weapon to gain
his ends. Our correspondent repre-
sents the ideals of the party which OBJ
tanned when It was founded. No or
ganization was ever gotten together
that represented more civic virtue and
more heroism than the Republican
party Il knew no bosses then; IL had
no Quays, nor Hannas, or II IL had,
they were kept in the background. IL
relied not on manipulation, nor on the
unscrupulous use of money. but repre-
sented great principles which won re-
spect and- commanded allegiance be-
cause OF their soundness and force
Those first Republicans. too, were men
of courage, and fought for the party
principles from the strongest motives
which actuate men-the motives of de-
cency and common honesty. The Re
publican party led by such men won
the esteem of the people of the coun-
try. and under its leadership DemOc-
racy was dethroned. the civil war car
ried to a successful issue, and the ma
tion rebuilt on a secure foundation.
There has been a decadence, espe-
cially here in Delaware. The party
had undergone many defeats, but was
daily growing in the esteem of the
people Il had made a fight for a new
Constitution and had won the battle
before the corruptionist was ever heard
or Il was on the verge Of supremacy
Mnth the uNnNi upuiouo party MiNNhNi
came along, and by flinging his gratui
ties right and left, attracted tho venal
made others venal. and deluded large
following into the belief that sucl
methods. alone. could win. The fallac!
of this has long been evident Corrup
tion has been followed by disruption
and the Marty cannot be rehahilitatel
till this element has been removed.

three months before the act of Con-
gress the whole of North Carolina
was ready to break the bonds that
bound her TO the mother country )"
her battle of Kings Mountain, which
proved the turning point in the for
tunes of America and the battle of
Guilford Court House, which, though
a retreat, caused Cornwallis to re.
tire to the coast and depart from
North Carolina forever.
These events are so linked with
the nations history that they de-
serve not only the valuable his
torical volumes that have been writ
ten by accomplished men, but should
be the beginning of series of his
torioal pictures that could be followed
by the portrayal of numerous in
cidents of bravery and endurance of
our North Carolina soldiers during
the Civil War, that would be not only
valuable to the Stste but grandly il
Illustrative of American courage.
Will our young women think on
these things, prepare themselves for
them and undertake them?

from various corners of our loved
State, feel the impulse to prepare
yourselves for some department of

for art, for science, for teaching the

HALF-DONE WORK IS ALWAYS WASTE.
Full.

The extravaganza and waste OF
doing work badly are most lamen-
table. We can never over-estimate
the value, in successful life, of an
early formed habit of doing every
thing to a finish, and thus relieving
ourselves of the necessity of doing
things more than once. Oh, the
waste in half done, careless, patched
work
The extravaganza and loss result
ing from a slip-shod education is al
most beyond computation. To be
under the necessity, all though ones
life, of patching up, of having to do
over again, half done and botohed
work, is not only a source of terri
BILE waste, but the subsequent loss OF
self respect and life is also very
great.
There is great economy in putting
the highest possible personal invest
ment in everything we do. Any
thoroughnes of effort which raises
personal power to a higher value is
a judicious expenditure'of individual
effort. Do not be afraid to show
thoroughness in whatever your un'
dertake. Thoroughness is a grea'
quality when once mastered. IL
makes all work easier, and brings 90
life more sunshine.-"Sucoess" for
