GEORGE W. MARSHALL.

EOUR years ago George w. Marshall
4 withdrew from the Union Republican
ticket where he occupied the place as
the nominee for Governor, and accepted
the nomination on the joint ticket for
Insurance Commissioner. After the
lapse of four years Or. Marshall has
a record as public officer, that now
that he Is again candidate, is the
legitimate subject Of scrutiny.
But before considering that, let as
consider his work as politician, for
here too he has made record by
which he Is to be judged. DR.. Mar
shall was one Of the first men in Dela-
ware TO embrace Addickssm; he has
been at the head OF the AddlclSs organ
ization In Kent county ever since there
was an organization Of that nature.
He has not hesltated at amy time TO
favor the election Of Addicks to the
United States Senate. That is his
record as a politician. ,
AN0M ApA MS NtANIu Na Nl AHHuibAtt
Commissioner. Paradoxically or
otherwise, George w Marshall has
made the best Insurance Commissioners
Delaware ever had. This .opinion is
general and is endorsed by all expert
insurance men, officers OF State fnan-
cial institutions and All persons who
are familiar with his reports. He has
taken great pride in his work. and
we know OF instances where he has
saved the State money because he
would not allow his own party friends
to graft on the public treasury.
A knowledge OF these facts went far
in making him the candidate on the
fusion ticket for recollection. For had
he been an incompetent official. or had
he simply done his work In a perfume
tory way. his four years Of service
would have been regarded as sunic-
lent reward, even by his own party and
another would have been named These
are facts which Ia simple honesty it is
well to place before the public.

4coIoneI Doe Hanson.g ?

Among the other features at the Ho-
tel Wilmington under It's new manage-
ment is its genial and popular night
clerk, "Col Joe" Hanson, who looks
after the nightly guests with dignity
and care. There Is one class Of
transients, however. that Colonel
joe is not particularly in love with
the 'one-night stand" members of the
profession who as a rule haggle about
the price of bed and board. In fact
the Colonel for some years was con-
nected with the Hotel Endlcott in New
York city and his experience while
there with the ''one-nighters" and
wen be here a week. you know"
class has instilled a streak of bitter
ness into his usually tender DISPOSE
tion.
At the rear of the desk in the lobby
OF the Hotel Wilmington has been
placed sign upon which is printed
the rates Of the house I'm golden letters.
Now when Colonel Joe" sees one Of
the craft entering the hotel with a
Hamlet-like air he knows what is COM
ing. In an instant his right hand is
raised to his brow In military salute as
he says "Ho, no. my friend. / greet
thee. Gaze upon those letters OF gold.
They're more expressive than words of
man"
The "Coloners" words generally have
the desired effect.

REs JuplcATA.

Tn THE country lyceums where the
4 farmers and the clerks Of the cor
ner stores meet during the long vim

man interest more or less. the subject
for debate is certain TO have an an
cient Resolved that Caesar was
justified in crossing the Rubicon' or
that the American colonists were JUS

one disadvantage attaches to the dis
cussion OF such questions: no matter
how they are decided, you cannot turn
back the scroll OF time and change their
effect. As the lawyers would say. they

STORIFS or THE DAY
c . Tip.

Although ii $50 months from
Christmas people otc beginning to think
about and plan for G 1tnms presents.
This is particularly tr-. IT women who
are making out their lists OF what they
want TO buy for relatives and friends they
wish TO remember. In a club the other
evening young married man told Of a
good Joke he played on his wife.
In looking through his desk the other
day G opened a drawer that he had given
over for the use OF his wife. Inside he
saw an envelope on which was written:
This belongs TO Mary. don't butt IN"
The curious husband opened the envelope
and found inside n list of presents his wife
intended TO buy. Opposite his name was
an article he did not want and had no
earthly use for. Instead Of saying any
thing 10 his wife he crossed of what she
had written opposite his name and wrote
what he desired and put the paper back.
As his wife intended all the presents as
surprises no doubt she will be Jared when
she finds that her secret was discovered.
There Is now "a bet on in the club as TO
whether che wife will mention the matter
or go ahead and buy what hubby sug-
gcsted.

q Am DAD Man.

A good story is being told at the ex-
pense of certain ofice-holder who
lives In the vicinity of Townsend and
who spoke on Tuesday night at a Re-
publican meeting at Pine Tree. Dur
Ing the course of his remarks he had
occasion to refer to the statements Of
Democrats that the negro vote was
bought at election times by the Repub-
licau party.
Raising his voice. he said: Il do not
believe such stories and I do not be-
lieve any Of us here tonight do believe
them. (There were a number Of me-
groes in the audience.) Is there any
man before me now who would sell his
voter
A moments silence followed this ques-
ton. when from the rear Of the hall
came the voice of colored man. II
said: "Yes stree, boss. 1 am dat man.
I'd sell my vote, but / wants S25 for II
suah."
The answer brought down storm OF
applause. The colored man is known
among his associates as "Boney" Jack
son and is half-witted.

&c REpuaLIoAN sTATE TIoKEr:

TT is foregone conclusion that
4 practically an Republicans in the
state will support al the polls the
ticket as made up by the two state
committees. A vast majority win do
it with enthusiasm and a minority viii
do it with qualms. This minority is an
clement not to be dispised. Il is COM
posed Of as good men as there are in
The state Of Delaware or elsewhere
Thousands Of men will vote the Re-
publican ticket while privately object
ing to the methods by which it was
brought about. They don't want to
sec Kenney and Salisbury in control
OF the government of Delawarei they
don't want to see one of these
men In the Office of Secretary
of State and the other in
the United states Senate And they
have no objection to the candidates on
the Republican ticket save as there are
always minor personal objections to
individuals.
Therefore, it is safe to say that the
nominees on the Republican state
ticket. from Lea to Dick viii receive
practically the fun party strength. That
is enough. To ask voters to endorse
the methods by which one ticket was
secured; to ask them to approve the
