An anti-pass crusade is abroad in the
land. 1t is late but better than never.
Public sentiment has condemned the
practice of bribery by railroads. Gov.
Handy of Indiana, has unearthed a
statute prohibiting Office holders from
riding on passes. Kansas has found
an old statue that prohibits railroads
from granting special privileges to any
person. The Attorney General of Wis
cOnsin has defined the anti pass laws
of that state to mean that even news
paper men holding public offices are
prohibited from travelling on free rail
road tickets. Doubtless public Off
GERS in some other states will find suf-
ticient legal authority in their moulder
ing statutes to prohibit the evil. The
President has announced that he will
no longer accept complimentary trans
portatiOn, and in fact, it is believed has
paid his way in his recent trips. There
have always been an honorable few
among Senators and Members of Con.
gress, who saw the improperly of ac-
cepting free transportation for them
selves and families in spite of the fact
that the Government pays them a lib
eral mileage fund.

The Laundrynlan.

There is one branch of trade which
runs on in an even tenor regardless of
prices and crashes. That is the laundry
business. People who patronize laun-
dries never economize on their linen.
A man will average about so many
shirts, collars and cuffs a week when
he is cutting down on his drinks and
cigars and his theater tickets. And
this observation recalls the fact that
the laundryman never has any innova-
ton in his business. He will ruin about
so many shirts and collars and cuffs
every three months and never say a
word about it or make any deduction
If you keep quiet.-ChicagO Tribune.

One principle of Odd Fellowship was
pretty correctly recognized by the
Rey. DIR. Conwell when he said to
members of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge in Philadelphia, recently that
the failure of the church to properly
distribute funds to charity was one of
the primary causes for the formation
of the organization. "The way charity
was distributed two hundred years
ago." said he, "killed love. The man
ner in which 1t is distributed to day
endangers our civilization. We give
to lazy man, who loafs all day, at the
expense of the busy worker, by main
tanning the beggar on money derived
from taxes paid by the workingman.
Whenever money is given to any man
who, when he was able, would not
work, we commit crime. We need
to be even more careful than we are, ="
continued he, that such a man does
not get from our plenty. The man
who, in his plenty, saves for his day of
adversity is the real object of charity.
And such principle you men have In
the odd Fellows. We must be careful
in the giving of charity, more careful
than we are at present, that we give
only to the deserving man. And it is
this idea that influenced the men who
organized your fraternity. 1t has been
followed by your members ever since
and you always help the man who il
of prosperity helped himself
zhd Others" This is only one of thu
principles of Odd Fellowship ex
pounded by DIR. Conwell, and it mus
be admitted that this characteristic
alone is exerting a good influence owe
large body of men, many of whom
are outside of the reach of the pulpit
Charity is only one of the qualitie
which go to make up the true Od'
Fellow. The man who lives up to al
of the principles of Odd Fellowship i
pretty good Christian.

Following a conference of the Regu-
lar Republican State Committee, at
brief session Saturday afternoon, a
resolution was adopted providing for
the appointment of a sub b-commIttee on
harmony provided for in the following
resolution: Resolved, That committee
of five be appointed by the ch air to
meet any committee that may be ap-
pointed by the Union Republican State
Committee to consider the existing
political conditions. Beyond this there
was no utterance on the part of the
cemmittee given to the public, aud so
fsr as it is known none will be, accord
- to State Chairman Ball and other
committeeman. Existing political
conditions" which the sub-committees
are to discuss, cover a wide range of
Delaware political subjects, from party
uni6cation to the immediate election
of United States Senator, and doubt
less the latter subject will be predom-
Smyrna times., 1905-09-27

inant in future harmony conferences.
Particular attention was given by
the committeeman to the senatorial
situation. From what could be gath
cred afterward the committee was sol
idly of the opinion that a Republican
Senator should be elected from New
Castle County, without any delay to
show the good faith of the down stat e
Union Republicans who are desirous
of party harmony.

There will be nothing for the various |
factions of the Republican party to dis
agree over, if the question of the ap-
portionnent can be amicably settled
upon. The idea of some of the NAL
contents who desire to have the party
not come together, will be to have the
apportionment made in accordance
with the vote cast; but this will never
be agreed to by the Republicans of
Kent and Sussex counties; far better
be it to have two separate organiza-
tions and defeat than to be tied hand
and foot by the city of Wilmington
and rural New Castle. We are willing
to accept settlement in accordance to
the constitutional divisions of the
State and shall accept nothing less. If
the men of Kent and Sussex are to be
made the subservient tools of the peo-
pie of New Castle, then all the talking
and argument that can be advanced
will not avail to save the party. Rural
Delaware will no more be ruled by the
city of Wilmington than will the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania submit to the die
tation of the city of Philadelphia. 1t is
useless for arguments advocating an
apportionment that will give the bal
ance of power to the northern county
Kent and Sussex will not stand for it
