WHO HAS JUDGES COAT2
Some One Walked Of With S. .
Townsend's Outer Garment

Deputy Judge Sylvester ID. Townsend,
in some mysterious way, has lost his
overcoat, and just as mysteriously
came into possession of an overcoat
belonging to someone else. The Judge
stated this morning that where and
when the exchange was made, he is UNI
able to tell AS he did not discover that
he was wearing some other mans coat
until this morning. The reason that
the mistake was not discovered before
is due TO the fact that Judge Tcyn-
sends own coat and the one he now
has are almost exactly the same in
color, size and quality. The emily diff
ference that can be detected is that the
inside pockets are shaped differently,
and by this means Judge Townsend
discovered this morning he Was wear
ing the wrong overccat. He thinks the
trade was made some time last week.
The only thing found in the ever
coat which Judge Townsend now has
were two theatre coupons. The cou-
pons were for "The Climbers" which
was played at the Opera House on
Monday night last. The coupons are
e 22-24, left, in the orchestra circle.

pleasure the season affords. And why
is it? II is because the old doctrine OF
the joy of serving Others is sound, and
is as true in philosophy as I'M religion.
There isn't much real Joy to be got
ten out of swapping presents with those
who are able to provide for all thetr
wants, and whose tastes are not our
tastes. II everybody would cut down
the list Of these exchanges and think
only Of the children, the poor and suf-
nering, not only would the day be OBJ
served in a truer Christian spirit, but
we all should be happier, which after
all is the aim Of both Christian and
Pagan.

DELAWARE AND AppIoKs

Addicks has been talking again, bu
there is a sameness in his public utter
ances which indicates mental poverty
But the fact that every prophesy HI
has made for twelve years has failed
to be fulfilled, is an evidence Of wors,
mental trait. The great journals con
tinue to show him up in his propel
light, as the following from the Public
Ledger will indicate:
]. Edward Addicks, after his con-
ference with the President Satur-
day, is reported to have said, when
asked If he would be one of the
Senators from Delaware: There
won't be any election unless / am
one" This is the very essence Of
Addicksism. In 1895 the Republi-
cans had a majority in the Legisla-
ture. OF the nineteen members,
Addicks controlled four, and be-
cause the fifteen who were for Du-
Pont would not swing to him the
election was blocked. In 1897 the
Democrats were enabled to elect n
Senator to the vacancy caused by
Addicks' tactics. In 1899 there was
another Addicks deadlock and no
election because Addicks stood in
the way, and in 1901, though the
Regular Republicans were willing
to vote for any two of a dozen or
more men. including Addicks can
didates other than Addicks, there
were two vacancies untitled, and
the State has been left without rep
resentation in the United States
Senate.
Now" says Mr.. Addicks, "we
want to heat the 'bolters' in our
own party" In the last election
the one conspicuous bolter was an
Addicks man named Byrne, who
ran for Congress against Congress-
man Ball, who had been renomi-
mated. and defeated him by splitting
the Republican vote. There is no
parallel TO this successful policy
of obstruction and party wrecking
in the whole history of American
politics, nor is there any equal to
the impudence displayed by anyone
who asks consideration for the
Addicks faction on the ground that
it is a Republican organization.

REV L E HALE IN OUTLOOK.
One of Daniel De Foes Sons Came to North
Carolina and Settled.

Rev. Edward Everett Hale, of Boston,
| in renewing his subscription to the North
Carolina Booklet, encloses the following
clipping from an article contributed by
him to the Outlook 1t will have histori-
cal interest for North Carolinians
But ct the same time, here is Daniel
De Foe in 1919 creating Robinson Cru
soc, one of the most remarkable char
acters in fiction, perhaps the most re-
markable. De Foe is distinctly and def
nitcly religious man. He not only pre-
tends 10 be religious, he is religious He
says distinctly that the whole story de-
scribes his own inner religious experience
Robinson Crusoe is distinctly a religious
man. Now, a religious writer like De
Foe, creating a religious hero like Rob-
inson, makes OF him a Brazilian slave
trader who is shipwrecked in a slave ship
which he had himself fitted out to bring
Il cargo of slaves from Africa to Brazil
This hero becomes the most popular hero
in English romance for century per-
haps l might say for two. Yet, in all
the literary criticism of the book for a
century, no one has found one word
among the moralists of England which
finds the least fault with Robinson on
account of his active participation in the
slave trade. 1t seems to me that this
absolute silence on such point shows
the utter Indifference of the public mind
of England in the matter"
