On Monday of this week the
assistant supervisor at the Della.
ware State Hospital for the In
sane was stricken with severe
case of smallpox and removed to
the Emergency Hospital. This
is the man who was sent to Mt.
Pleasant about two weeks ago in
the ambulance to bring back the
colored man, Pratt, who had es-
capped from the Emergency Hos
pital and was captured by some
of our local officers. Such care
lessness in handling this 1oath-
some disease is almost criminal.
No satisfactory excuse has yet
been given for Pratt's escape,
and we can see no possible ex.
cuse for taking a man out of a
supposedly healthy institution
and compelling him to ride
twenty miles in a close wagon
with a bad case of smallpox.
Then to permit that man to re
sumo his duties and possibly in
oculate the whole Insane Hos
pital, inmates and attendants
is still more unexplainable.
Somebody should be brought
severely to book for this.

temperate utterance can only
have the effect Of intensifying
the resistance he has thus far
encountered.
His declaration as to appoint
ments, II less culpable, is quite as
ill-judged. He first threatens
the political life of every man
who refuses to vote for him, and
then he practically assumes to
say that; after Con gressman a n
Ball S term shall expire onthe 4th
of March, the Federal patronage
will be used for the same pur-
pose. He declares that the ap-
po;ntments will then be in his
hands, and plainly indicates that
he will employ them to enforce
the policy of prescription he
had already proclaimed. That
is an assumption to which Presi-
dent Roosevelt cannot be indif-
ferent. Mr.. Addicks, by his ex
traordinary folly, makes it i'm
possible for the President to do
what Mr.. Addicks announces;
and we venture to say that, rule
or no rule, custom or no custom,
the President. will take the ap-
pointments into his own hands,
and will make them strictly on
the. ground IF merit without re-
gard to faction.
When Mr.. Addicks announced
his withdraw from the senator
ial contest he appeared to be en-
tering upon a course which might
have given him a different posi-
ton in the public judgment. Had
he followed that announcement
by faithfully urging the election
of two Senators in such manner
that each of the Republican ele-
ments would have been fairly
recognized and represented he
would have planted himself on
strong ground. But in his pres
ent most unwise utterance he
forfeits all that he might have
gained at home, and compels
the President to show that the
President cannot be misinter-
preted and placed in a false po-
sition."
It was said of Mr.. Addicks
years ago that he could be de-
pended upon to do or say the
wrong thing at the right time.
This is only added evidence Of
the truth of the saying.

AnorHKR cAusEwAY NEEDS ATTENTION

We have received during the
week several expressions Of ap-
proval Of our course in calling
attention to the lack of atten-
ton bestowed upon the Sill
Ter Run and Augustine cause
ways, and the citizens of East
|St. Georges Hundred are almost
b unit in demanding that some
thing be done at once. Other
|complaints keep coming in, be-
ing now directed against the
condition of the Old Drawers
canseway. One prominent citi-
zen stated that he had crossed
that causeway recently when it
was nearly two feet under water.
The trees that line either side
Of the road, and by the binding
effects of their roots, do SO much
to preserve and strengthen the
causeWay, are dead or dying.
The mnskrats have cut holes in
to and through the banks, and
the road is rapidly passing away.
It is nearly a year ago that the
entire Levy Court visited this
section and went over and in
spected among others, these three
causeWays, and it was decided
that all needed something done
to them. But it was left to the
commissioner for this district te
do the Something and he has
done nothing. If repairs are no
promptly made, the county vii
have 9 large bill to pay for the
negligence Of one Of its commits
sioners, and the Republican ma
iority viii be held responsible.

hDvFRrrsrHa ASSESSMENT LISTS

The General Assembly has un
din c6nsld lderation bill that vii
|6kize the publication Of tht
ssment lists Of the severa
Ericts in the newspapers II
IIie same manner that the license
lists are now published. With
some amendments, this bill would
be an improvement over the pre-
sent law, and would result in 9
more uniform and equitable as
sessment and a consequent in
crease In revenue and at no more
expense to the counties. Under
the present system when the
assessor has completed his work
in December he hangs up a copy
In each district for examination,
and after q sitting for appeals,
the LISTS turned over to the Levy
Court and there revised and COR
rected. Then the Clerk OF the
Peace is paid to make a certified
copy to be posted in the District,
after which there is an appeal to
the Levy Court during the month
Of March. We have no doubt
that if the proposed bill were
amended so as to cut out the it.
ems of useless expense under
the present law, that with the
greater publicity secured the ap-
peals to the Levy Court and con-
segment changes would be prac-
tically nil. The great difficulty
experienced by anyone who pro-
poses to put our assessment and
collection laws on a modern basis,
lies in the fact that the system is
based on fraud and rottenness.
When enacted, the laws were
framed for political purposes and
no amount of amendment can
correct this defective foundation.
What is needed is an entire re-
modelling and a provision for a
board of assessment that shall
be il session continuously as in
other States.

a CONSERVATIVE VIEW

The Philadelphia Press is one of
the conservative Republican
newspapers, which, while loyal to
the principles Of the party, does
not hesitate to oppose men and
measures whenit considers them
In the wrong. Its editor, Char
les Emory Smith is one Of the
close friends of President Roose-
velt, and what it has to say of the
latest Addicks move is interest
ing.
In his latest proclamation Mr..
Addicks has not only made a SER
ious mistake but committed a
grave offense. Its threat of pro-
scription will be deeply resented
by every manly spirit, and its as
sumption of the control of Fed
eral patronage after the 4th of
March concerns the Presidentof
Che United States himself.
Mr.. Addicks says that ssno
man who refused to vote for him
will ever be allowed to hold any
office Id Delaware. This aagit-
ous attempt at intimidation is
not merely odious on every moral
anil n0lificaI ground: III Is as oh
