LOST HIS LIFE

One of the worst wrecks in the history
of the New York, Philadelphia and Nor
folk railroad occurred at Pocomoke City
Tuesday afternoon. The aged bridge
tender, Thomas Disharoon, was killed,
several trainmen were more or less in.
jured, and traffic Indefinitely delayed.
Disharoon had opened the draw spanning
the Pocomoke to permit the passing nt
a steamer, when he heard the whistle
of fast freight. The steamers engineer
rushed through the draw and Disharoon,
dlsregarding bis own welfare, endeavored
to close the bridge. Heroically lie stood
at his post with no possible chance Of
escape, knowing that even though lie
succeeded in relocking the rails his body
would be ground under the engine.
When the train struck the bridge the
draw was in place, but the rails wure
not locked. This caused the engine to
jump the track, but it remained ON the
bridge. Fifteen cars were in an instant
piled in a heap. Disharoon's body was
found under pile Of cars. Those on the
train saved their lives by jumping.

REORGANIZATION

Republicans all-over the State
are beginning to talk about a new
organizationof heparty. Every
one admits that the present con-
ditions cannot and should not
prevail much longer. If the new
General Assembly shall elect an
able, honorable man as United
States Senator, it will mark the
passing of Addicks. Even though
he should be able to hold enough
men out to prevent the election
of Senator, the situation will
not be greatly different SO far as
he is concerned. AS factor in
Delaware politics, Addicksism is
dead. Still, foolish action by a
few members of the Assembly
can add difficulties to the work OF
reorganization, because there
will be radicals on both sides
who will refuse to enter into the
plans.
More than eight years ago
THE TRANSCRIPT claimed that
the Republican County Com.
mittee was too large to be effect
i've, or rather that it was getting
unwieldy. Since that time, there
have been added to the member
ship about forty, making the
present committee consist of 179
members. Better results could
be obtained, and a saving of ex.
pense to the members effected by
adopting the plan which THE
TRANSCRIPT urged then and has
urged since.
tits in substance that the pres
ent members of the County Com
mittee constitute the Hundred
Committees, and that the County
Committee consist OF one mem
Der from each legislative district,
who shall be the chairman of the
Hundred or District Committee.
In effect this would be: A Hun.
dred Committee of three from
each election district who should
choose chairman; in the city of
Wilmington one member from
each election district should con-
stitute a City or Hundred Com
mittee; each of the five legislative
districts in the city TO choose a
chairman, who with the Chair
man and Secretary of the City
Committee, should be members
of the County Committee. This
latter body would then consist of
seventeen members. all of whom
would be in direct touch with
every election district.
To adopt this or a similar plan,
and to provide for joining OF
the two factions in this County
will probably require the calling
of a County Convention by one
or both County Com mittees, and
a new election of a Committee.
The time to do this is next year
after the Assembly has ad-
journed. The election of a SEN
ator early will make this easy of
accomplishment. but q vacancy
need not necessarily prevent it,
In the latter event it would be
better to wait until next Fall. In
the former it cannot be done too
quickly.

q number Of farmers held off for bigger

JUDGE PARxER's POSITION.

4 S ITS LEADING EDITORIAL pa
Il ragraph a morning contemporary
yesterday had this:
Those who have listened 10 Judge
Parker's cold eloquence commend him
FOR his silence"
Now we wonder just what our es-
teemed contemporary thinks chief
judge OF a court of appeals Of great
state should be? Should he be a man
who runs around in pursuit of votes
Should he be one who receives with
open arms-and mOuth-every oppor-
tunity to exploit his views on public
and other questions in the hope of
winning popularity with this element
OF that? Would such a one be really
a fit individual for any party to nomi-
nate for the highest Office I'm the gift
Of the people of this republic?
In times gone by our contemporary
has holly supported for high judicial
positions men who have resOrted to
any petty subterfuge in order to win
votes in conventions and at the polls.
It seems to find some ground for OBJ
lection to Judge Parker because he re-
fuses thus to soil his judicial ermine.
We take it therefore that our contem-
porary approves any action a judge
may take TO get votes, as long as that
judge is of its own political stripe. Our
own opinion is a different one. and we
believe a great majority of the people
also favor a clean, upright judiciary,
one that viii not get down into the
mire of politics under any consideration
or 10 win any Office. But the best def
milton of Judge Parker's position may
be found in his own words. uttered not
long since to an old and trusted friend.
He said:
II am chief judge of the court Of APP
peals Of New York. SO long as 1 hold
that office it would be an indecency for
me to become an active candidate for
any other pace. am not such a can
didate. I am aware that my name is
just now freely spoken of in connec-
ton with the presidency. With that
have nothing whatever TO do. But as
chief judge of the court of last resort
iu this state it would i'm no wise become
me 10 do any act or to say any word
which might even remotely seem to be
a seeking Of such a nomination"
The Herald does not feel called upon
to engage in a defense of Judge Par
ker. He needs no defense. Rather is
it our contemporary, for theoretically
accusing him of improper conduct be-
cause he refuses to scramble for the
presidency of this nation that needs de-
Tending. It Will be an evil day for this
nation when the presidential Office is
given to the man who can bow lowest
to the politicians. who can grovel
deepest in the muck of politics
