Mr. Williams was called upon TO
play a like part Ia the Democratic con-
venuon. His failure is Disappointing
and lamentable. Most Of his speech
was devoted to capiious attack Of
Mr. Roots speech. He attempted wiz.
ticisms which fell fiat and which tak-
.ing into consideration the character and
nature Of the occasion, were in miser-
able taste.
But IN a sense II was a true keynote
.of Democratic policy. Mr.. Root dealt
almost exclusively with Republican
principles. while Mr.. Williams dealt
with Mr. Root On Democratic policies
he was either silent or evasive. And
the only glory he could discover for
Democracy was that which hovers
around the brow Of Grover Cleveland,
so long rejected and desplsed OF

ri st is misdomeanor for a boy to
play ball on Sunday. and If to put
stop to the terrible desecrationo Of the
day it becomes necessary TO haul the
little chap into court and fine him as
though he were am ordinary malefactor.
then we should be consistent and look
after the habits of men on the day set
aside for religious worship. To as it
appears no more harmful for a boy to
go out on a vacant lot and knock a
baseball around than for gentlemen In
knickerbockers to drive a golf bah over
the links. The man who goes touring
ON his automobile and the fellow who
takes lot Of liquid bait and goes fish
ing is morally as guilty as the boy
since sport is the object.
But IL the blue laws are to be re-
vived they should be amended. They
should not only prohibit but prescribe.
They should set out minutely an the
things that little boys may do after
attending church and Sunday School.
Presumably 10 get out into the open
air where the trees are, to race after a
ball and to get the exercise which ma
ture evidently intended for the young
-all this is wrong on one day in seven.
so the law should prescribe the manner
of observing the day, and then little
boys could keep out Of the police court
and avoid paying fines.

Nixon & Zimmerman. the theatrical

known what changes will be made in the
house.

of the house, own the Chestnut Street

Mr.. Baylis, with the exception Of three
years, when the house was leased to Proc

the lessee Of the house since il was con-
strucied In 1871 He has been very popular
with the people Of this city and there is
hope among the theatregoers here that the
new owners will decide to keep Mr.. Bay
lis and his present force of assistants in
charge Of the house. II is thought by
many that this will be done on account
of their Intimate knowledge of the the

According to all the evidence con-

sought refuge from the violent electri-

to comfort his wife and mother who
were nervous. He was sitting near
the door, yet not in any draught..
Scarce had he become seated when

went up in the air. stiff as a log, reel

VAThen a ship Is unit for sea and
Wv when its boats, life preservers
and other agencies to insure the
safety Of the passengers and crew are
IN an unsatisfactory condition, the re-
sponsibility rests with the captain. It
is his duty after the inspectors have
reported TO judge these matters for
himself and report 10 the owners.
II he is aware OF a condition that
needs to be remedied and fails to re-
port it. I'm case OF loss Of life, he may
be held to be criminally negligent and
the verdict Of the coroners jury IN the
slocum disaster is case IN point.
But the public overloolSs one fact that
goes far to explain the apparently Grim
inal negligence OF captains. An illus
ration will make the point clear Sew
eral years ago "a captain was employed
10 take charge of boat belonging TO a
great line. He made thorough i'm
spection and reported the craft to be
unseaworthy lie was sent back By
the owners TO make another inspection
and render more favorable report He
returned with the same report giving
particulars. Then he was dismissed,
and though he was one OF the most
expert and experienced captains that
had ever sailed out OF New York he
could not get a place. and is out Of the
service today.
Thus a captain knows that his posi-
uon depends upon the report he makes
10 the owners, and under these clrcum-
stances ne is apt TO stretch point in
their favor. II he is too particular he
loses his job. and is virtually black
LISTED. These facts are given us by
captain who has sailed the largest Graf
out Of New York harbor.
The remedy undoubtedly lies in gov.
enmental inspection. and in view o.
recent disasters, this should be mad,
more rigid, requiring an inspection o.
inspectors. But 1t isn't wise to ash
captains to pass upon matter invol-
ing their own positions.

pAMNAsLE ETHICS.

~ he Washington Post has long had
a leaning towards that system
Of politics IN Delaware which
may be termed "Addicksism" while
protesting disgust at the character and
methods Of Addicks In the following
it makes what on the surface is the
best plea for the recognition Of Addicks
that we have seen. Il says
We suspect that the methods OF Ad-
dicks are as heartily condemned by the
President as by any other American.
But the State OF Delaware win take
part In the Presidential election. and
Addicks Is the leader Of the Republican
party in that state. Mr.. Roosevelt is
no more responsible for Addicks than
he is for any other corrupt man IN his
party. Presidepts are not elected by
churches or colleges. Neither party
makes a good moral character a reQui-
site for membership. Mr.. Roosevelt
cauld not. II he would. depose Addicks.
SO fong as Delaware tolerates him, he
viii afiict the nation. And he win
probably be more afilictive TO Repubii-
can presidents than to anybody else.
What the attitude Of Mr.. Roosevelt
as an individual towards Addicks is we
do not know; neither do we know what
his position as President Of the United
states is. But the Post assumes that
Mr.. Roosevelt as the head OF his party
has no choice but TO recognize the DOM
inant political powers OF the several
States Of the Union. It enNreiy over
looks the fact that Mr.. Roosevelt is
President. and in that capacity has
duties to perform that are not parti-
san.
The question to be considered Is how
the President Of the United States +.
to regard Addicks and Addickslsm. Il
st admitted that he has nothing to d
but TO recognize majorities as expresses
at the ballot box If so, Presiden
Mckinley was recreant, for TN the mo
