Why The Name Red Men ?

1t is not infrequently asked, why
did the founders of the order of Red Men
choose the name and ceremonies of the
Indian as a working name and model ?
Why not high sounding and modern

THE war between the Gray and
Salisbury factions of the Demo
cratic party in Delaware has been
renewed vigorously since the boom
for Judge George Gray has been
launched to have him nominated
for President. Deep cursing among
the followers of each faction are
heard on every hand, and especial
ly have they been noticeable since
the attempt to set before the public
by personal interviews of men pro-
minent over the State, the popul
arity of Delaware's gifted son.
The Democratic party in Delaware
has troubles of its own, and Repub-
iicans are not wasting any SYM
pathy.

Taken as nature made him, free from
the fleets of The corrupiiug and ayari-
cious outbursts of civilization, the red
man developed noble character,
through which nature herself seemed
to speak
such was the new man to whom our
forefathers were introduced, and when
they desired character to typify free
DON they chose the red men, just as
they chose his ie theIed fellow, The
cage as a symbol of freedom. So they
dressed themselves in the red mans
legeins and feathers-true forest clothes
and went down to Boston harbOr,
tossed the tea over to the fishes, danced
a war dance on British decks, uttered

IN view of the desire expressed
by the "News and Advertiser" !" that
all factionalism should be eliminat-
ed from the Republican party of
Delaware, and which has been
literally quoted by the anti-Ad-
dicks press over the State, it would
be real nice for the political editor
Of the News" to present some
practical way in which the results
desired can be accomplished. Pos
sibly the editor of the News" has
forgotten, if ever familiar with
the years of organization, entail
ing great patience and labor with
out reward, that were freely given
to bring the Republican Party in
Delaware out of disorganization
TO victory. On this subject the
Sentinel last week said

finds fault with things, is only an
impotent driveler if he is unable to
conceive of, and supply some sensi-
BILE and effective remedy for the
things complained of. Talk of

It is cheap, costing nothing
but modicum of time and ink and

WHEN all of the facts are weigh
ed in the hold-up of the establish
ment of the rural mail delivery rou-
tes for Sussex county, the political
coniving and tricks practice in the
entire matter by the democrats and
anti Addicks republicans, are laid
bare; and a nasty mess it is. In the
first place the fact must be born in
mind, that that the postmaster from
where the route is to be established,
has the recommending of who the
carrier shall be out of the many or
few who shall have passed the civ
il service examination. This fact
kept many Union Republicans from
taking the examination, because
they recognized the fact that in pla-
ces like Laurel, where a man is now
who would rather see a
democrat in an office than any I'm
ion Republican, there would be no
for a recommendation for
any who have sympathy with the
Union Republican party. Then the |
charge has been made that the not
ICES of the examinations were toarn /
1own as soou as posted, and only
hose in the ring were informed of
he time of holding the examinati-
ms. This policy was worked to per-
ection to keep Bayard P. Burn of
from receiving the appoint
nent that finally went to Clark P.
lensch, the supervision of rural
nail delivery for Delaware. With
n almost solid Union Republican
nd democrats clientage to serve.
he people of Sussex county have !
led earnest protest against this il 8
gal and unholy conspiracy to ig- I
ore their privileges, in naming

THE Index" a radical Demo-
cratic paper at Dover, admits the
short comings of its party, especial
ly in Kent county, and sets a high
standard for the Democratic party
to rise to. In an editorial last week
it said:
With a party seeking first the
welfare of the State, and its people
loyal to its professions Of economy,
honesty and clean government, led
by unselfsh and loyal men, with
clean candidates on its ticket, and
supported by a united and enthus-
iastic organization, Delaware can
be redeemed to Democracy at the
coming election. A policy of sell
and vindictive factionalism
has contributed more to Democra-
tic defeat in the past elections than
the strength of the enemy. Ad-
with its corruption and
debauchery of the franchise, has
been met by party not always
united and sometimes demoralized. |
have been frittered |
away by selfish and incompetent
leaders. The party has not always
stood for the best in men, and has
sometimes failed to measure up to
its high standard in principles.
Where will the Democratic party
be able to find the paragons of PR
lection, as outlined by the Index?
Not in the Democratic party of
Kent county.
Milford chronicle., 1904-03-04

IT is refreshing, indeed, to read
in the columns of the Index" a
Democratic paper Of Dover, against
which there is now pending a libel
suit for charges made against a
member of the Levy Court of that
county, the following:
Without the slightest i'll will or
personal feeling towards members
of the Kent County Levy Court we
have often been compelled to criti-
else them collectively and individ-
ually. We prefer to commend them
and are glad to do so when they
serve it. We want to commend the
heating of the county building from
the Jail. In the severest weather
this winter the county offices have
been well heated and comfortable
and Levy Courtman Benson, who,
we understand, originated the
scheme. is entitled to the thanks of
the officers and those whose bust
ness take them to the county build
ing these cold days.
The "Indx" has been lavish in
making charges that the Republi-
cans have squandered the money
of the tax payers, and even this
admission proves that in public ex-
penditures the Levy Court of Kent .
county has looked we'll to the best
interests of the taxpayers.

eAcoNs VOTE ON THE CANAL

Senator Bacon, of Georgia, in ex
planning his vote on the Panama canal
treaty, said;
''In my capacity as a senator, stand
as representative, and conceive it to
be my duty SIS such, generally speak
ing, where no constitutional question
is in involved, to vote in accordance
wi h the known wish of the people of
my state upon any question of such
Importance, or where there has been
such interest aroused in it as TO elicit
from the people an expression which
leaves no doubt as to their wish.
"And, MIR. President, 1 think that
this is very much so in case whore
the measure is one of large scope. and
where it naturally involves in vast
degree the material interests of the
people,
''In this particular case / desire to
say that, regardless of my own personal
views in the matter, after the most
careful inquiry by my colleague (Mr.
Clay and myself, and through sources
of information coming TO us inyolunta-
rlly, there is no doubt left in our minds
that 1t is the wish of large majority
of the people of Georgiathat we should
vote for this treaty, and in compliance
with that wish and in pursuance of the
duty which conceived deYolved upon
me under such circumstances, I shall
do So"
And the people of Georgia will ap
plaud Senator Bacon for his conception
of duty.
Senators and representatives are
presumed to be the representatives of
the people of their respective states,
as well as the people of the United
States. They are, of course, entitled
to their individual opinions, and can
not be reasonably expected to violate
their conceptions convictions in mat
ters of legislation, but in the main
they should, we believe, in casting
their votes, reflect the wishes of the
people and not be guided by their per-
sonal opinions to the detriment of the
common veal.

Reading In Bed.

Commenting upon the recent discus
sion of the habit of reading in bed,
American Medicine concludes that If
the position is literally prone the habit
Is bad, because in such a position the
eyes are fixed upon the book IN a strain
ing and harmful way and the book
cannot be sufficiently Illuminated.
But if one sits propped up by pill
lows, in much the same position of the
head and trunk as when in chair
there can be no evil consequences, pro
yided a good rich light is rightly
placed behind and at one side of the
head.
The greatest argument for reading III
bed is that the attention is not dis
tracted by the discomfort of the body,
the noises and Interruptions usual al
other times. Let one take an erect po-
sltion of the body and head, be as
sured he has a good oculist and that his
light is strong white, steady and prop
erly placed. He may then read with
impunity until drowsiness cautions
him to stop.

PICKS PARKER FOR a WINNER

A Washington dispatch to the New
York Herald says the movement to
make Judge Parker, of New York, the
democratic candidate for President has
made great Roadway through the
country, and this is reflected by the
democratic members of Congress, The
name of no one else is heard now when
senators and representatives are asked
for their opinion of the probable
nominee.
The Hearst boom is not regarded as
substantial; the Olney boom is not
taken seriously, and the Cleveland
boom is said to have been ruined by
the onslaughts made on il during the
last ten days.
It is not at all clear that Senator
German will allow the use of his name,
although he still has many friends
among the steady party leaders in
Southern and Western states. Mr.
German is not as strong as he was 6
month ago.
Democrat s there say that Tammany
will not be able to hold its delegates
against Judge Parker. Much work has
recently been done for Judge Parker
in the West. A vigorous effort will be
made soon to induce the democrats tc
get together on some safe and conser
vative man as their leader.
