TAX COLLECTING, like any other
business, requires business meth
DDS in its practice to make success.
Kent county has been hampered
by having collectors who have
failed to collect the taxes, and who
are now having a very unhappy
experience, by reason of the Levy
Court making demands on their
bondsmen for money. In most all
instances where a new man applies
for a collectorship, he entertains the
idea that tax collecting is an easy
lob, and that a fixed percentage on
an amount assessed for district,
represents a certain sum of money
for him--as a salary. There is the
delusion from which the new tax
collector awakens with rude reah-
cation, that people don't pay tax,
unless they get rebates, or are com
PEELED to do so; and, invariably re-
sort to procrastinatiOn, assigning
many reasons for postponement,
until the Levy Court, which has
regular scheduled bills to pay at
certain times, like any other bust
ness man, calls for a settlement.
Then the tender-hearted and in
competent collector is disgraced
before the public for his inability
to settle, and his bondsmen asked
to make good to the Levy Court.
The man to make a good collector
must be hustler, and have practi
cal ideas of modern methods of
business.

To win ms votes, what could we do
Had to have some one for the place,
And Bowcrs-well, thought you knew.

Was most too rapid for such as he ~
And at the finish, tbs sad but true,
He landed last, and thus you see,
His finish was our finish too.

"where are we at, tits hard to tell.
Our troubles are many and trials great,
Wen gather the peices, 90 toll the bell,
While we put away, all we can fnd,
Of faction that has lived on pap,
And blufIed the world with morals and wind.

And on it put, in letters bold,
"Here lies'--will be enough to saw
For in those words the truth is told.

greatly in need of its support, but
in a larger sense it is desirable that
the majority should rule, and as
the majority adhere to the Addicks
party it ought to be allowed to
have its way. The real way for
those who oppose Mr.. Addicks is
to beat him in a square stand up
fight if they can. If not, it is oP-
posed to the theory Of government
to permit a minority party to win

The Wilmington City Election

Saturdays election for municipal
officers in Wilmington showed two
things; First that the Republicans
are not united, and, second, that
Addicks has a larger strength in
the former stronghold of his politi-
cal enemies than the so-called
Regulars, who are not regular
according to the National Republi-
can Convention.
Last February the Senatorial
deadlock was suddenly ended by
the voluntary retirement of Mr..
Addicks, the election of one of his
friends and one of his opponents.
It was thought for time that there
wasa prospect ofan accommodation
that would end the quarrels in that
State which have existed for nearly
ten years. There is no reason to
believe that this is true, though
there will be general regret that
such is not the case. The two
lower counties of Kent and Sussex
for years have been almost unanim-
ously for Addicks so far as the
Republican party is concerned.
The Regular" strength in New
castle county, most of the popula-
tion Of which is in Wilmington,
has been enabled to bring about a
deadlock.
Since the election of Senators in
February the situation seems to
have become more intense rather
than otherwise. We note that most
of the newspapers of the country
have insisted on throwing the
blame for this on Mr. Addicks.
AS far as we can learn the facts are
that after the election referred to
the anti-Addicks people thought
they would complete the compro-
mise by taking everything in sight.
It is not surprising that the Ad-
dicks people did not agree to such
a result, seeing that the antis were
only a small faction of the party
in the State. At the election on
Saturday in the stronghold of the
amtis, the Addicks people had
about two thousand more votes
than the Regulars" but the sur
prising result is that party quarrels
have resulted in making Whining
ton, so long a Republican strong
hold, a Democratic city.
This is a situation that cannot
be contemplated with composure.
We have always hoped that the
Delaware people would settle their
differences among themselves
nationally. At present there is not
the slightest doubt that the "Un-
ion" Republicans are in control in
every county of the State, and if
there is any such thing as govern
ment by a majority the Addicks
men are entitled to control the
whole party. All the argument
and claims of the Regulars" have
fallen to the ground. Hereafter
they can only be considered politi-
cal factionists who are willing to
defeat the Republican party as
matter of spite.
Delaware is small State and
really the Republican party is not

but he cannot ride in q trolley car
without suffering from an exact imi
tation of seasickness. Once he made
a desperate effort to overcome this
weakness. Accompanied by W. L.
Elkins, his partner, he went for a
12-mile ride and stuck at it until the
trip was ended. By that time he was
in state of complete collapse. He
came back on the steam railroad and
has not ventured on a trolley car

OF lee.

Dogs were unhitched and fastened,
as usual, and then each Of the Eskimos
climbed over the icefoot with his snow
knife and disappeared behind the para
pet, where the other two were already
cutting snow blocks. I fastened my
dogs, got out their ration of pemmi-
can, cut it up, and fed them, standing
up with whip in hand to see that there
was no bullying, and that each dog got
his share, says Outing.
Then unpacked the cooker, oil can
and kitchen box, passing them up the
icefOot as high as I could reach. did
not wait for the completion Of the igloo
to commence my preparations for sup
per, but with few strokes of the spade
excavated niche in the snowbank, put
the cooker in out of the wind, filled the
lamp with oil and the boiler with ice,
placed few snow blocks around it for
still better shelter, and lighted up.
By the time the igloo was completed
had enough water melted for the tea,
and supper was entirely ready by the
time my men had fed the dogs; and
they lost no time in freeing their cloth
ing Of snow and joining me in the igloo.
Still less time was consumed in putting
away the tea and biscuit and penmmi-
can, and less again in falling on to

OPENING "BUCKING" SAFES.
Professionals who Right Matters
when the Strong Boxes Get
Out of Order.

The broncho buster of the western
plains has a counterpart in New
York, though his business is not to
tame recalcitrant mustangs, but to
open ''bucking" safes, says a New
York exchange. Every big concern
dealing in strong boxes employs a
professional safe breaker against
those frequent and often costly oc-
casions when the safe sold to some
consumer gets out Of whack." The
work of opening a bucl1ing safe is
usually a matter Of minutes with the
professional, but occasionally he is
obliged to send for half ton of tools
before he is enabled to procure the
magic sesame. Often a half hundred
clerks are kept idle for hours and
business managers spin around like
tops while the safe breaker leisurely
pOthers about with the combination.
When the safe or vault is finally
opened it is usually discovered that
some one connected with the firm is
to blame for altering the combiDa-
ton and then keeping the matter to
