While the democrats and indepen-
dent newspapers of the country are
scoring the president and the post
master general for the disgraceful part
they are taking in the more than dis
graceful political proceedings in the
state of Delaware, the republican
press is keeping silent on the subject.
1t has not the face to uphold the
president and his man Payne in their
attempts to aid Addicks in his in
iquitous schemes to buy his way into
the United States senate. The last
move on his part-the dismissal of
Miss Todd as postmaster at Green
wood-has aroused the Indignation of
all people except Addicks and his fol-
lowers. 1t was one Of the most out
rageous pieces of low politics that a
ever occurred in this country. Mr..
Roosevelt says he is giving the matter
thorough investigation. For his own
SAX as we'll as for that of the coun-
try we hope he will order lIr. Payne
to ~reinstate Miss Todd. The presi-
dents action in the matter of District
Attorney Byrne was bad enough, but
would fall into insignificance before
this Todd case We're he to allow the
postmaster generals order of dismiss
sal to stand. We must confess, though.
that we do not expect to see this lady
reinstated. Addicks will gain by her
dismissal and Mr.. Roosevelt counts
ON Addicks giving him the vote of
Delaware in the republican national
convention if he is put in full con
troll of the state. Mr.. Roosevelt wants
all the votes he can get; therefore
Miss Todd must GO.

Sad Accident

Last evening Mrs. Parker. aged
about 20 years, met death in a manner
that was sad in the extreme.
AS near as could be learned the
stove was ~accidently overturned and
Mrs. Parker tried to remove it from
the room. Her dress caught fire and
she grabbed a quilt and put around
her and then ran outside, which
caused the flames to be famed by the
wind and completely envelope her.
Assistance was soon at hand and the
unfortunate lady was taken inside and
medical aid summoned. DR.. Samp.
son responded and did all in his power
to saw Mrs. Parker, but age was
against her, and the shock proved too
much for her feeble frame.
She succumbed at IL o'clock last
night.
Mrs. Parker leaves a daughter to
mourn her untimely death.
An inquest was held at Justice
Films court at 10 a. m. today, the cor
orner's jury rendering a verdict of
death from accidental burns.
The funeral took place this after
noon, the Rev. Smith officiating. The
remains were accompanied to their
last resting place by many Borrowing
friends. Much sympathy is expressed
for the daughter, who is thus suddenly
bereft of her parent.-Winslow Mail,

1t is decidedly amusing at this time
that the Santa Fe shops at San Bernar-
limo should be compared in magnitude
and capacity with those of Albuquer-
que. The shops at San Bernardino
may be growing, but considering that
the shops here are almost twice as
large as those there now, it is utterly
absurd that they should grow so rap.
idly as to catch up. and still more alb.
surd that they should get to be larger.
The officials of the coast lines, as
well as the head officials of the Santa
Fe system, have very little love for
San Bernardino. as a consequence of
the recent trouble there with the boil.
