TAKE TIME TO THINK

The story Of Mr.. Addicks' withdrawal,
which was given to the people of Will
mington exclusively by the first edition
of the Evening Journal, was the cause
of excited discussion and speculation.
The Regular Republican leaders de-
clare that they suspect trap, and that
a complete understanding must De had
before they will consent to a caucus.
Addlcks knew that he was whipped,
and that even should he be elected, after
the exposure in the Kennan article and
from other sources. the Senate would
not seat him. Consequently he with
draws and demands that a caucus OF all
Republicans shall be held immediate
ly. His purpose may be the election Of
two of his lieutenants-two men who
have profted by the Wholesale de-
bauchery which he instituted. Then
alter the end OF the session of the Leg
islature. one OF them would resign and
the Governor would appoint Addicks in
his stead. That would give him differ
ent title from that which an election
by purchased Legislature would con-
fer.
The matter must be digested and
thoroughly considered before the Reg
ular Republicans can consent to act
for there has bean too much treachery
to admit of precipitate action. No Patti
farewells will go Take a few days
gentlemen to weigh the matter The
honor Of the State is at stake, as We'll
as the future of the party.

EDITORIAL OPINION

From the Washington Post.
One Of the most marked of the many
rscent chanPes in medical science Is
seen In the contrast between the treat
ment OF tuberculosis at the present
time and forty years ago. What would
have been thought of an old-time m9di-
cal practitioner had he treated con-
sumptives like smallpox patients? One
heard nothing then of measures to pre-
Won't tho gpread of tuberculosis. nor did
ono often hear of a. cure OF the dread
disease. Now. in many States pnd
cities. plans for stamping it cut are in
operation and the best medical opion-
ion is that cures are possible in al
most every stage Of the malady. The
committee on hygiene of the New York
state Medical Society, In its report on
hberculosis TO the convention at AL
banv last week. recommended compul-
sorry registration in the proper office
bv every physician of every case Of
ltnberculosis. and that in case OF death

the nroper health officers. The com
mittee recommended a receiving hos
pitll I'm every city, ami county seat in
thinly settled districts, to which should
be sent every case Of tuberculosis among
the poor From there incipient cases
would be ent to the state sanitarium
for the poor.

Frcm the New York Commercial.
1t Is real kind of Belgium to offer to
collect the Venezuelan customs for the
allies. AS the business grows-which
seems llksly-there may be rivalry for
the position. There ought TO be a good
rake-on in it. We suggest that all
candidates for international customs
collector for bellicose powers be COM
PEELED to pass an examination by in
tarviewing the Sultan of Turkey. The
one that gets the most out of him
should be given the position. Also
when there is nothing doing in China
or below the equator the international
bill collector could resume operation
on the Turk just TO keep his hand in.
Belgium is almost too rich and too
prosperous for this place. Let us cast
about and give it to some country that
needs the money. The position of in
ternatlonal bill collector might be
placed under the supervision Of The
Hague tribunal.

ARIZONA AND OKLAHOMA

Mexico and ARIZONA are to be conscli-

statehood. In area the new state of
Arizona will be next to Texas. but

world, can ever become populous. lrri-

DELAWARE sHIPRuILpING

The Navy Department has given out
the contracts for building two new
anmored cruisers. The price is to be
$4025,0OO each. Cramps, of Phihdel-
phia. will build one and the New York
Shipbuilding Company. Of Camden, will
build the other The reason assigned
for giving a contract to each of these
companies is that they may be com
pleted at the earliest moment.
This emphasizes the fact that the
Delaware is in reality the Clyde of
America. The area Of shipbuilding on
this stream is limited. extending to
Wilmington on the south and ending at
Philadelphia on the north. It embraces
the four cities of Philadelphia. Ches-

Where are they?-the friends Of my
childhood enchanted
The clear. laughing eyes looking
back in my own,
And the warm, chubby fingers my
palms have so wanted,
AS when We raced over
Pink pastures of clover,
And mocked the quail's whir and the
humble bees drone?
Have the breezes of time blown their
blossomy faces
Forever adrift down the years that
are flown?
And l never to see them romp back tC
their places,
Where over the meadow.
In sunshine and shadow,
The meadow lark's trill and the bumbl,
bees drone?
Where are they? All dim in the dus
lies the clover;
The whippoorwilrs call has q sorrow
ful tone.
And the dove's-I have wept at It owe
and over
I want the glad lustre
OF youth and the cluster
OF faces asleep where the humble bee
drone.
