EDITORIAL OPINION
The coId shouIder For AddIeks.

The Cold Shoulder For Addieks.
From the Philadelphia Record.
lntimations come from inner Repub-
lican circles that ]. Edward Addicks
and his mercenary followers in Della
ware will be put out IN the cold by the
next Republican National Convention.
II is limited that instead Of recognizing
Addicks as the party leader I'm Della
ware the National Committee viii re-
port in favor Of equally dividing the
representatives from the state be-
tween Addicks and his opponents. This
will, Of course. defeat the reelection Of
the speculator In politics and gas as a
member Of the Republican National
Committee.
What is to be done now should have
been done long ago. with the removal
of Addicks from public life not merely
Delaware but the whole country will
be relieved of an evil that has worked
like cancer. 1t win afford a wholesome
proof that the time has not vet come
when a man with no claim to con-
sideration but his money and his un-
blushing audacity can openly purchase
the highest legislative Office in the
State. OF an aristocracy, and above all
OF an arlstocracy Of the sordid Addicks
type, great ruler has said: Give il
in a Republic ever so little chance.
and il works and plots and sneaks and
bullies and sneers itself into place. and
you find democracy out Of doors" BY
putting Addicks out Of doors his fol-
lowers will not be likely to find an
other purchaser Of their political as
sets in Delaware, and the honest voters
of that state win once more come by
their own.

RUSSIAN INDIGNATION.

Foreign dispatches convey the in
formation that there is a growing feel
ing Of anger throughout Russia against
the United States. The newspapers are
particularly rabid. calling on the au-
thorities to form an alliance Of the
powers to punish both the United
States and England.
1t is remarkable that in this age
there can be so little knowledge Of the
affairs Of the nations OF the world as
to allow the utterance OF such asinine
sentiments. II Russia would vent some
OF her anger on the nation which is
battering her fleets. hammering her
strongholds and creating a panic
among her troops. it would be expended
more legitlmately.
We can in part understand her dis
trust and hatred OF England. Her ally
France attends to that. But this
senseless agitation against America is
more dinicuit OF comprehension. It is
just possible. that her ambassador al
Washington has failed to interpret our
true policy. Recently he manifested
considerable irritation at newspaper
comments on the war. holding that
they were unfair 10 his country. lie
even went SO FAR as to suggest that
the press be educated in the Russian
view or admonished. All OF which
shows that the simplest principles Of

pretended by the slavonic mind.

is going about her business. asking no

The work Of this committee, and Of

the work Of maintaining Republican
supremacy throughout the nation.
This party I'm Delaware has striven
to maintain the highest traditions of
the national organization. It has
made mistakes. but has no crimes and
few great blunders to apologize for.
To belong to such a party carries with
it naught but distinction. And its
main purpose is to maintain the organ
ization with an Of its historic principles
and all Of its historic virtue. inviting all
citizens who are attracted by It's
principles and policies, regardless of
backslidlng. to become participants in
its glories and in its rewards.
There win come a time when many
men in Delaware who now call them
selves Republicans win realize that
they have been running after false
gods and WHOM that time comes. the
old party which has preserved the his
iorie name. the old spirit traditions
and principles viii welcome them back.

Few Wilmington Families will move
this year. The reason is that med

rents are high. The reason the rents
are high is to be found in the land
lords taxes. And the reason houses
are scarce is that money invested in
property after paying taxes yields
a small return.

that il is the general opinion that the
local government should make a sub

to on the subject said the hospital need

like to secure such an appropriation.
Mrs. Gilpin expressed herself on the
subject in about the same manner. She
said that the work had increased so
largely that Z was a burden on the
people to raise sufficient funds. An
appropriation, she said, is needed.

Doctors Services Free.

The part that physicians take at the
hospital is very commendable. It is
probably not generally known that the
physicians give their time and services
without any charge whatever. The
resident physicians are generally stu

they remain at the institution for six
months at time. Among the visit
ing physicians are some of the most
prominent doctors in the city. They
visit there every day to look after the
patients.
