EDITORIAL OPINION
Looking Ahead.
From The Sussex Republican.

FROM the Sussex Republican.
The Republican party can look for
ward TO next year with renewed hope.
Present conditions promise at least an
agreement on candidates next year
with probability that the difhculties
which have effected the partys prog
ress VIII soon be at an end. We be-
lieye that Addicks has about run his
race and VIII soon be out and done.
We find that this impression is grow
ing and all signs point that way.
When this contamination devoutiy TO
be wished is an accomplished fact the
Republican party will be zone and in
separablc" once more. 1t is unfortu-
nate that Republicans have been COM
PEELED to fight each other IN the past.
but in no other way has IL seemed pos
siDle 10 save the party from itself.
some OF It's members mad with success
and hope Of conquest. seem willing to
sacrifice the very affairs Of the party
in their mad quest and would have
disgraced the party and tarnished the
fair name OF our State. We and they
have been saved from this and we be-
lieve these misguided Republicans are
at last beginning 10 realize their mis-
take and are ready TO sacrifice even
Addicks to save the party from COM
plete humiliation in the future. with
such spirit influencing Republicans.
we need have no fear for the future.

RuMoRs oR REMOVALS.

An article IN the Sunday Star callsat-
tcntion to the rumor that an attempt
may be made 70 remove at least two
members Of the Street and Sewer Com
mission. We have heard these rumers
but have given them little heed. nor do
we now believe there is any serious
purpose to take such drastic action.
Since the reorganization OF the de-
partment which occurred during Mayor
Fishers term. there has been no occa-
sion 10 seriously question the conduct
Of the street and Sewer Commission.
we take it that q close scrutiny Of its
acts VIII show that If there have been
errors they were those OF judgment
merely. AS a public journal we have
been called upon al times to crlticise
certain acts of this department just
as we may do in the future, but we
have never discovered anything which
even suggested the necessity for re-
inoyals
We should pay no attention to the
story were it not for the fact that there
IS considerable pressure from certain
quarters to have the thing done. The
Mayor has conducted his office in a
manner 10 command the respect OF
an good citizens and he retains their
fun confidence. When he removed the
Water Commissioners the act was re-
earded as that Of courageous man
md an honest Official ond that today
is the opinion Of nearly al Of our peo-
pie.
But TO so farther would be taken as
an indication that low order Of psi
tics is to rule the administration. and
that nothing is TO stand in the way OF
building up machine. There are
those who are working tc wards this
end and nothing but the frmness ana
integrity Of Mayor Bird win stop them.
Yes; there might be something else
to prevent. There is the law. It pro-
vldes that member OF the commits
sion may be removed for "malfeasance"
in Office, 5ut Il specifies no other
ground Tor removal. we take It that
the maifeasance would have to be
proved. and legal malfeasauce cannot
be sustained. unless there is much that
has been very cunnlngly kept from
the public.

Liquozone does that. Oxygen is
Natures greatest tonic-the very source
OF vitality. Its effects are exhilarating-
purifying, vitalizing. Nothing else in the
world is so good for you. But germs are
vegetables; and this excess of oxygen

We spend IA days in making each
bottle of Liquozone; but the result is
liquid oxygen-a product which will cure
diseases which no medical skill can cure
without it. It is now employed in every
great hospital, and Endorsed by every
medical authority, the world over.

almost reached the limit in railroad
mileage, and the managements Of the
various lines are devoting their sur
plus earnings TO betterments.
But the possibilities OF cheaper and
more rapid transportation are not yet
exhausted. The trend Of the times is
towards improvements in transporta-
tion by water. 1t appears that we haze
practically reached the speed limit In
steam craft, just as the maximum for
sailing vessels was reached long ago.
An additional knot means such a dis
proportionate Increase in fuel consump-
ton. that speeds cannot be materially
increased without giving up tho whole
OF the ships to coal bunkers.
Consequently attention Is being di-
rected to improvements OF another
sort. The railroads when they reached
their speed limit turned 10 the problem
Of shortening their lines and reduce
ing grades. SO the modern problem OF
water transportation is TO find new
routes, and thus clip Off hours. days and
months from the record OF the logs.
The channels Of the seas and their
arms are all marked out: consequently.
the problem becomes one OF crtbting
artificial channels. We have returned
TO the canal idea. but il is no longer
the canal with the tow path. but moth
ing less than great Waterways TO
float our ships from ono great body Of
water to another.
There are four OF these in contem-
plation. The FIRST is intended to con-
meet The waters OF the Atlantic and
the Pacific and to cut the western
continent in half The time is ripe.
and the enterprise is backed by practi-
cally the entire American people. That
II win be pushed to completion nobody
doubts.
There are two other projects which
have for their object direct deep-water
communication between the great lakes
and the ocean. One scheme contem-
plates the widening and deepening Of
the Erie Canal so that the deepest
draught vessel can pass through. The
present canal was built by the state
Of New York. and there Is now a plan
to enlarge it for the accommodation Of
l,oOO-ton bafges. But there re expert
engineers who claim that with slight
additional cost II could be opened to
the largest ships that float. allowing
our battle ships a direct passage to the
unsalted seas" or course such an
undertaking would have to be under
he supervise OF the national govern
ment.
From the West comes the suggestion
that Lake Michigan shall be connected
With 'Ae Gulf by means OF the Chicago
drainage canal. This would join the
to the great lakes and
make It possible for lines Of steamers
from Chicago to New Orleans. As II
has been found possible to drain the
sewage Of Chicago through a canal
into the Gulf OF Mexico. n ship canal
is simply a problem Of money.
Finally comes the Delaware and
Chesapeake ship canal--n comparative
ly easy undertaking. No great engi-
neering difficulties are involved and
the distance is short This as a mat
ter OF defense is very important. be-
sides its aid to commerce. 1t would
prove the beginning OF a chain OF canals
along the Atlantic seaboard. touching
all the important cities and offering
safe passage for all kinds OF craft in
Ill weather 1t may be that in time
we shall become as noted FOR our canals

We Paid 100000
For Liquozone-Yet We Give You 5oc Bottle Free.

This company, after testing Liquozone
for two years in the srost difficult germ

price ever paid for similar rights ON any

We publish this fact to show you the
value of Liquozone. Tie most worthless

about it; but men don't pay a price like

Kills Inside Germs.

Liquozone alone kills germs in the BODY
without killing the tissues, too. It is so
certain that we publish on every bottle
an offer of 81 900 for disease germ that it
cannot kill. Liquozone destroys at once
and forever the cause of any germ disease.
And there is TO other way to do it.
Any drug that kills germs is a poison to
you, and it cannot be taken internally.
Liquozone alone can attack a trouble
that is caused by inside germs; and it
cures diseases which medicine never
cured.

the most difficult character to play that

stance. everything connected with her

preyed on by this torment and cannot
confide In her husband or his daugh-
ter. Socially she is ostracised, and in
Aubrey Tanqueray's quiet country
mansion she has neither sympathy. as
sistance nor social obligations to help
her TO forget. Every day is q day of
self-inhiction, Of yearning for the po-
sition her vanity has caused her to for
teit. The complex workings OF Paula
Tanqueray's mind are vvidly display
ed by the splendid art Of Sadie Marti-
