To Control Bad Habita,
the New York Herald.

from the New Aofk Herald.
Legislation can never control human
appetite, save in moderately restrict
i've sense. The evil viii continue until
the culprit is educated to better ways.
The real responsibility for bad habits
in the young rests with the parents and
guardians. Home treatment Is more
effective than any law hat can be en-
acted If parents would do their duty
In such respects there would be no
need for such absurd bills as the one
In question.
The growing boy should be taught
that tobacco is hurtful to him physi-
cally and mentally and should be prop
erly trained by his parents to believe
that what they tell him is true This
places the responsibility OF initiating
all such reforms where it very proper
ly belongs. Mere punishment after a
habit is formed is commencing the les
son az the wrong end.

KEPT MARRIAGE A SECRET
Brides Mother Found Certificate in Un-
used Trunk.

After having been married for ten
months unknown to her parents. Mrs.
John G. Mccormick, of Philadelphia,
who was Miss Medora Clark. has ac-
knowledged that she eloped with Mr..
Mccormick on November 29, 1908. The
marriage was performed in this city
by a minister whose identity could not
be learned.
Mrs. Isabella Clark, mother OF the
bride, discovered that her daughter had
taken unto herself a husband while
searching through a rarely used trunk.
She came across a piece of paper
carefully rolled up, which she promptly
opened. 1t was a marriage certificate
which showed that her daughter had
been married to John G. Mccormick in
this city last November. When Mrs.
Clark questioned her daughter, the lat
ter promptly acknowledged that she
had been wed. She said she and John
eloped because we didn't want any
fuss over getting married"
Mccormick is a fireman on the Penn
sylyania railroad.

The Dastardly Assault on Albert Con-
stable which ended a useful life calls
attention anew to the need for some
fuller protection for the inhabitants
of the rural districts. Women are no
longer safe along the country roads,
and even strong men may be done
to death for few dollars. Perhaps
rural police force has become neces-
sary.

Another Prisoner has left the Sussex
prison. "a sort Of seive with coarse
meshes that let's most things through.
This time. however the prisoner did
not break through a wall or file
through iron bars; he simply walked
away. He was a "trusty.' which in
Sussex county means one who has
been sentenced TO Jail for certain
time by the court but who is given
partial liberty by the sheriff. With
the jail Sussex has and the sheriff
she has selected to preside over It, an
that holds prisoner is a sentimental
attachment to the place.

THE ADplcKs TICKET

III HE ticket nominated by the I'M
ion Republicans. yesterday suf-
fers by comparison with that
nominated by the Regular Republicans.
Aside from the presidential electors,
which were the nominees of the Regu-
lar Republicans. there isn't a man on
the ticket who particularly deserves TO
be honored by the Republicans OF the
state, or who would reflect especial
honor on the State II elected.
Henry c. Conrad from his early ca
reer might have deserved a better fate
than that in store for him, but he al
lowed himself to become the personal
choice Of Addicks, after a conference
IN Philadelphia at which, personally,
he gave full pledges as to his course
should he be elected Mr.. Conrad has
disappointed many OF his warmest
friends by this attachment and his
seeming subserviency, and all for a
mere empty honor. For he can never
be elected Governor Of Delaware.
/. T. Parker is a conductor on the
Delaware railroad. and what he wants
with the nomination, or even an elec-
ton. nobody can figure out.
sylvester d. Townsend Is a younl
lawyer with many friends, but II is moi
an un1indness to say that Mr.. Town.
send has not the experience for this
most important office No novice
should be elected as General
OF Delaware; there Is too much at
stake.
Hiram r. Burton has his nomination
at last He had to encounter the stern
opposition OF c. r. Layton, which was
a compliment. but he won. An that is
necessary Of say to Dr. Burton is that
his eagerness for Office and for recogni-
tion has led him into all sorts Of en-
tangling alliances. finally making him
subseryient to the win Of AddiclSs; that
is enough.
Then comes the Rev David $. Clark.
candidate for Auditor. Mr. Clark is
not a statesman. He is preacher
politician, who on Sunday admonishes
the young 10 take heed as to their
ways. and on election days advises his
political friends to take the means me-
cessary TO get there He wanted to be
the nominee for Congress. but even
this convention could not regard the
suggestion as anything but bft OF
humor. Should he by any possibility
be elected he could doubtless secure the
services Of someone to assist him in tn,
duties of his office.
George w. Marshall has made i
good Insurance commissioner, but n
the language of the day. "there art
others" For four years he has hel,
the Office and it is hardly good polite
to continue him in his present capacit,
indefinitely. There are other Republl
cans who would hll the office equan
satisfactorily. who have never bee
recognized
Finally come Thomas Curry, eandi
date for state Treasurer. How muc
he wanted the nomination none ca
tell. and how much he desires elee
tion is beyond the power of ianguag,
Possibly We're LOYALTY TO Addicks syn
onomous with loyalty to the Reput
lican party Mr.. Curry should an

one thing must be remembered; it
a Union Republican ticket throughou
Every man is a member of that part,
every man was nominated by n
sanction of Addicks, and every one

MORE MEN LAID OFF.

We were informed last night that ten
more men have been laid off at the p.
r. X. %shipyard. This is not pleasant
news. as 1t has a tendency to make the
people fear most anything that may hap
pen. The word shipyard have been
heard so long here and they have always
been so busy there, hat the discharge of
such a large number of men, many of
them too aged to get work elsewhere, is
very discouraging. A few weeks ago we
were told there would not be any more
floats built at the p. II. r. shipyard.
Our information came from Jersey City,
but when inquiries were made here, we
learned that there was no truth in it. 1t
had certainly not reached those who were
supposed to know, so we stated that 1t
was not confirmed at that time. Yester-
day, however, we gave the announcement
that, at present no more floats would be
built. So the news given at that time,
but not published as trut !, seems to have
been correct after all.
