before Senator Lodge suspended his

Any deviation from the plain let

gerous as tending to becloud the
legality of the tax levy.
A communication is published
in another column from the Sec,
retary of the Board, in which,
while denying "some of the
charges, admits that the Com.
missioners did make alterations
in the Assessment List before
posting the same. The Secre-
tary further says that such has
been the custom. We beg to
differ with, him as we know that
heretofore the Assessor has been
present, and consenting to the
changes suggested, has made
the alterations, and this was
always done before the List was
turned over to the Commission
ers. Never before, we think,
has the Secretary or any other
member Of the Board of Town
Commissioners altered a List,
and we do not yet believe he or
they have a right.

A DENIAL


MIDDLErowN, DKL., May 14th, 1908.
EDITOR OF The TRANSCRIPT.
DEAR SIR:-A communicate in your
issue Of last week headed "Who is Re.
sponsible' and signed "a Tax Payer" re-
fecting upon me personally, / deem ii
my duty to reply to same. Your cores
pondent tells us, that he has been credit
ably informed that the Secretary of the
Board expressed his contempt for the as
sessment- and with two other members
takes the liberty to revise the assessment
as made by the Assessor &c. In the first
place, l wish to emphatiealy deny that |
said anything in reference to the assess
ment other than to remark that the work
was well done, and challenge proof to the
contrary As to the assertion that myself
and two others alone revised the list, |
will state that with the exception Of a
few minutes when one member excused
himself and went out, for what purpose
l do not know, the full Board was pre-
sent and assented to all that was done,
and the Secretary made no changes or
alterations other than those dictated by
the Board. As to the Commissioners
right or authority in the matter, permit
me to say that have been member for
several years, and each year the Assess
ment List has been submitted to the
Board, and they have gone over it the
same as we did this present year and that
before the list acas hung up, and no objection
raised by anyone. l have talked with
Ext commissioners, and find the same
condition prevailed while they were in
Office. l cannot imagine Why "Tax-
Payer" should have kept silent for years
past, and now at this particular time en-
deavor to show that the present Board is
of men detrimental to the
towns interests. If he can show me any
law prohibiting the Commissioners from
going over the list before Appeal day, he
will confer favor.
Thanking you for the space allotted me
n your valued columns, am
Respectfully,
GEORGE G. Rowe,
Secretary of Town Commissioners.

NEW COLLECTORS

The Levy Court has elected
the Collectors of Taxas for the
two years beginning July 1st
next. Three of the old collec-
tors were refused a re. election.
Among them, Mr.. Thomas E.
Hurn of this hundred. The
other two were in Mill Creek and
Christiana Hundreds, compris-
ing the District formerly repre-
sented by Mr.. John Lynn, and
now by Commissioner Hopkins.
While personally we have the
highest regard for Mr.. Hurn,
and are proud Of the fact that,
as the first Republican Tax Col
lector that this Hundred has had
in many years, he has made a
record never before squalled in
thedischarge of his duties. But,
his appointment was made two
years ago, against the majority
Of the Republican caucus and by
the corrupt combination of the
two Democrats and the two $50
called" Republicans who bolted
the caucus. Butwith the advent
of a Republican in place of
Mr., Lynn, the caucus nominee
was assured an election. Conse-
quently, as Mr.. Pharo had the
necessary number of votes,
(three) two years ago and as the
same men stood by him this year,
he was chosen.
The spectacle Of a Democratic
member of the Levy Court stand
ing in his place and attempting
to dictate the choice of Repub-
lican official by Republican
Levy Court would be absurd
were it not presumptious. In a
situation such as now confronts
the two Democratic Commiss-
ioners common sence dictates a
discreet and dignified silence.
That is what Mr.. Mealey main
tains, and it would be to the Gre
dit of his fellow member to copy
his example. We know tits hard
to realize, but it is a fact that
Republicans are the majority
party in this county, and are
rightly held responsible for its
government. and the sooner
bnmptious Democrats under
stand this condition and not d
theoryY that confronts them,
the betterit II will be.

Chicago, March 30.--"The solution OF
the negro problem lies with the negro
himself. 1t can be brought about by
his acquiring land, saving money and
educating his sons. There is nothing
