Must Show Up in A Month

Pearson E. Wildman, formerly OF Ap-
pleton, who disappeared from Whining
ton, seven years ago and has not been
heard OF since, will be declared legally
dead by the Orphans Court, OF Cecil
county, sometime next month, unless It'd
ings are had Of him in the meantime.
His father, Joseph Wildman, left the
missing son an equitable share of lis es-
tate, and it is for the purpose OF distrib-
uting the same that the proceedings are
had in the Orphans Court. The missing
heirs disappearance has been a complete
mystery to his relatives and friends.

M1DDLETowN, DEL, OCT. %, 1904.
1900 AND 1904

"Four years ago there were
two Republican state tickets
nominated at Dover. Every Re-
publican knew that neither one
of these tickets could be elected if
they both remained in the field.
Then it was found possible to
bring about an adjustment Of the
candidates, by transferring some
and by setting others aside.
Both sets of candidates were in
harmony with the agreement,
and Mr.. Martin B. Burris, who
had been named as their candi-
date for governor, withdrew in
the interests of harmony. He
made no fuss about it, and he
was then selected as the Joint
candidate for state treasurer.
Yet even if he had been left
from the ticket entirely he would
have been just as anxious to
bring about the consolidation Of
the Republican forces. Yet
there were other gentlemen who
stepped aside altogether and
nothing was thought Of their res
ignation other than the natural
regret to be felt on such occas-
ions. But the entire new deal
was brought about without any
protests from Republicans gen
orally, and the Republicans car
ried the state.
"This year, however, the same
programme was arranged and
the Republican state convention
provided for a union of forces
by the passage Of a resolution
looking to what has just been
done. Exactly the same line has
been followed this year that was
followed four years ago. Never
theless there are Republican OBJ
jectors to the arrangement. Four
years ago the Eveniaag Journal,
for instance, fell in line with the
new deal and supported the joint
ticket without q tremor and with
out any compunctions so far as
the public could discover. This
year it has taken another course
and it insists that the Republican
state committee has failed to
stand by DR.. Chandler.
'sFor DIR. Chandler there is
nothing to be said save that he
is a citizen Of unquestioned
standing. His friends have ad
vised him badly at this juncture
and he is now put before the
voters as an independent candi-
date for governor. He would
better have fallen in line with
the majority of all the Republi-
cans and done his part to secure
the best resrlts for the state.

COMPARISON

The best manner OF Judging
the capacity Of public officer is
by examining his past record.
The Republicans Of the Sixth
District have chosen as their
nominee for Levy Court Com
missioner, Merritt N. Willis
who is just rounding out four
years service in the Levy Court
during which time he has had
charge of the Seventh District,
composed Of Appoquinimink and
Blackbird Hundreds. The edi-
tor Of THE TRANSCRIPT has dur
ing the past few weeks, driven
over that district and has talked
with prominent citizens of both
hundreds, Democrats as well as
Republicans. He has yet to hear
the first objection to the manner
in which Mr.. Willis has attend
ed to the work of the county.
All are familiar with the record
made by Mr.. Willis in the meet
ing of the Levy Court and in
looking after the interests of the
tax payers. But it is the work
Of keeping roads and bridges in
repair that particularly marks a
man as a competent commission
er. In the more than three
years that Mr.. Willis has been
in office, no break in a bridge,
no wash in a road, no broken
fence, no dangerous spots in any
county work, has gone unre-
paired for twenty -four hours
after he had received a report
Of the same. In this way, he
has with comparatively small
expenditure, kept everything in
first class condition.
Compare this record with that
Of the Democratic member who
has had charge of the Sixth Dis
trict. There is not a County
road, causeway or bridge in St.
Georges or Pencader Hundred
that is not in need Of repairs ex-
cept the new road just completed
between Middletown and Odessa.
The excuse has been made by
Commissioner Armstr ong pri-
vately that he has been limited
in the amount of money available
for this District. The truth is
that there is in the county trea-
sury to the credit Of this dis
trict nearly $4,000 and there has
not been o year in this term that
a surplus has not been covered
back into the treasury unexpend
ed. Such is the record and it but
illustrates the difference between
Republican and Democratic
methods. The former party is
the party Of action and believesin
keeping up repairs and current
expenses out Of current receipt.
The Democracy is the stand
still party and puts off doing
things until it is necessary to
issue bonds to replace the work
permitted to 60 to ruin by neg

UnWelcome Forecast.

1t is not the most pleasant news
to be told that for all this fine
weather we have been recently en-
joying there will be another kind
ere summer comes in earnest,
which will offset all the good the
respite from wintry chills afford
ed. In Washington county,
Pennsylvania, is an old citizen who
has been in trace Of weather con-
ditions for many years, and who
now solemnly asserts that along
about May % there will be kill
ing frost settle down on this SEC
ton. He bases his prediction OIL
some kind Of a fog which was here
not a great while ago. By COM
pairing notes which he has been
keeping he figures on the frost
coming at the date indicated, or
close to it. Think Of the damage
such a visitation of nature would
entail! 1t will recall to the Old
er residents of the county that
June frost back more than half
a century ago, which left a black
trail of destruction through fields
of growing crops. Still, there IS
the consolation for those who are
inclined to look on the bright side
of life that signs often fail. Anu
here is hoping that this veteran
weather forecaster misses his pre-
diction this time.
