THE new Postofice agitation which
has been worked up as the result of a
statement of Senator J. Frank Alice
that ''he would do all in his power to
get an appropriation of $4,000 or
100000 if the people of Smyrna would
offer suitable site, /" is a much talked
of project and it would seem that the
opportunity was ripe to take some
concerted action with regard to plac-
ing the matter before Senator Alice at
this session of Congress which opened
Monday. Now that a strong senti-
ment has been worked up, let the pro-
gressive citizens of Smyrna hold a
meeting and discuss the subject and
appoint a committee to look into a
suitable site and if necessary get an
option on it. Then when this much is
settled, place the matter before Sena-
tor Alice. The opportunity to have a
fine Federal Building to grace our
town should not be allowed to pass.
Whether there is anything in it or not,
the people of Smyrna should do their
part and show their desire to have
such building. It costs nothing to
make the effort and what is worth hav-
ing is worth working for. Senator
Alice doesn't say that he will get the
appropriation but he does say that he
will make every effort in his power to
get 1t. 1t would seem that he might
have some show when it is considered
that the State of Delaware has only two
Federal Buildings-one at Whining
ton and one at Dover. Let us there
fore make the effort for unless we make
some move in the direction of obtain
ing it we can't hope to succeed. A
citizens meetings should be called
speedily and active steps taken.

feated. Judge Parker was elected ts
the bench as the result Of a division
among the Republicans He was well
known throughout the state, and wei
esteemed, DUt would hardly have wof

OF the two men Judge Parker is re.

sonal grounds. He IS more affable
more companionable, better talker
when he talks at all-and more
sympathetic. His range Of reading is
wider than that Of Mr.. Cie1 Gland, and
he is far better lawyer. Some Of his
warmest admirers are Republicans,

been questioned. When Mr.. Cleveland

He made this plain at the outset,
and at the name of Hearst the galleries
vented their enthusiasm. When he
said; 1T seems to be fate that the
men who once scuttled the Democratic
ship shall once more be placed in
power" there were cheers and Kisses.
THE Democracy of jefferson. the
Democracy of Bryan" was a phrase
from Mr.. Darrow which struck the
convention. After the shout which fol.

the platform rang out: Three cheers

with will. Mr.. Darrow's speech en-
livened the wearying crowd and he

From the burning fields of the raw

REPUBLICAN TACTICS.
NNatonea HeraldD

Every campaign the Republican
candidate for congress has gone be
fore the people and argued that the
only way to get legislation for Okla
homa from a Republican congress was
to send Republican delegate. Ge
Dublicans of national repute have
given It out in days gone by that fav.
ors would only be extended to a Re
publican delegate
Indignant over the dictates Of
bosses, the people of Oklahoma defled
the powers, and voicing their real
sentiments elected Callahan to con-
eress with majority of ten thousand.
Incensed rhn. an independent peo-
pie although American citizens,
should antagonize the interests Of the
Republican party in Oklahoma, a Re
publican congress defeated every ef-
fort Of ar. Callahan in that body.
The people of Oklahoma were fore
ed to acknowledge the power OF Re
publicanism. and in order to get such
legislation as they needed, have clos
ed their eyes, swallowed the nauseous
dose, and elected Republican dele
gate.
This year, Bird Mcclure, a political
nondescript, indigenous 10 the cline
of Kansas, and discovered in Pawuee
county, Oklahoma, will come before
the people in the capacity of Republi-
can candidate for delegate TO con
gress. and will make the same argu-
ment that has won before.
Heed him not Had he worked for
single statehood instead Of fighting it,
we would now he preparing for con
stitutional convention.
Bird Mcclure doesn't want state
hood, snd the majority of Republican
leaders do not want statehood,
Statehood means their exit from
the political stage, and they want to
hold their power and position TO the
fartherst limit Vote against them.
