THE EXPECTED HAPPENED

Right On time the break away
from Addicks came on Friday of
last week. For the first time
since 1896 when Messrs. Brown
and Morgan left the Addicks
ranks Mr.. Addicks is face to
face with a loss of votes. This
in itself is q great victory for
those Republicans who have been
for years trying to save the state
from disgrace and at the same
time, save the party from ami
hiiation, by refusing to turn the
State government over to the
Democracy. But this is not all
Of the victory. To-day Mr.. Ad-
dicks is being voted for by a mi
nority of the Republican mem
bers of the General Assembly
and the chances are that the num-
Der will continue to decrease.
Those members who have by
their votes expressed their con-
viction that the party is greater
than any one member of it, are
deserving of the highest com
mendation. It takes moral cour-
age to forsake the organization
which elected them, but they see
that the future success of that
organization as well as the party
depends upon the elimination of
Addicks. As a matter Of fact,
Addicks is eliminated and none
know 1t better than the leaders
OF the Union Republican radicals.
They are only refusing to admit
that fact for personal reasons.

u
/ live long enough to discover the
place he has made and is making
for himself, yet the time is COM
ing when he will be admitted as
one Of the strongest and most en-
phatic men who has ever held the
Office of President. He hews to
certain lines with vigor and a
persistence that is bound to win
respect and admiration.
Wednesday the Ne,0 York
World cited several instances of
the Presidents official conduct
that it questioned, yet a careful
analysis of the specific COM
plants discovers that the Presi-
dent has in every instance acted
within the province and juris-
diction of his Office. Among the
objection offered there is at least
one that is an absolute falsehood
when presented as it is.
"Theodore Roosevelt is un-
questionably one of the most re-
markable men who has ever
served as President, and he is
the youngest man who ever took
up the duties of the Office In
this connection it is we'll to call
attention to an article on Roose-
yelt by Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page
in the current number of the
Metropolitan Magazine. The writer
gives an estimate of the Presi-
dent from a Southern point of
view. Being considered in that
light the objections offered by
Mr.. Page--"blunders" as he calls
them--are to be taken for what
they are worth. What Mr.. Page
calls "blunders" are only so con:
sidered by the Southern people
and are based solely upon sec
tional prejudices. Yet, on the
whole, what this Southern critic
has to say is to be accepted as a
fair and frank estimate of the
President. He is coming to be
accepted as a President worthy
Of consideration, and in the end |
the sectional hatred shown for
him in the past will be dis
sipated. "-Morning Ne,Us.

ROOSEVELT

President Roosevelt was made
an LII. d. by the University OF
Pennsylvania Wednesday along
with several other gentlemen
who have won distinction, among
them Emperor William OF Ger
many. The President made
another Of his striking speeches,
emphasizing the need Of a strong
navy and advancing the words Of
Washington as an argument to
strengthen his views.
There is one thing about the
President that commands adj
niration He keeps hammering
d / what he considers necessary
and ii not swayesl by criticism.
He has the courage of his con
victions, and so long as he be-
lieves himself I'd be right he is
not to BIZ dismayed, Yet he is
n..t stubborn ii that bis attitude
ii usually logical and based upon
sound reasoning.

A SALARY Bill.

Representative Lyons has in,
troduced bill fixing salaries for
all county officials. This bill
provides in effect that all such
officers in this county shall re-
ceive three thousand dollars per
year and fifteen per cent. of the
fees collected by him. The
TRANSCRIPT has been and is in
favor of placing these officials on
salary. but there are at least two
features>in the proposed bill that
we believe should be changed.
First, the percentage Of fees
should be stricken out. Any bill
that makes the compensation of
an official subject to fees, no
matter how small, is not salary
bill. It is urged that this pro-
vision is intended to furnish an
incentive tocollect the fees. On
the other hand it gives an excuse
to waive fees, and opens the door
to various schemes to increase
the emoluments. The other
change is in the amount Of the
salaries. We think that the
amount should be more or less.
If it is intended to pay the Off
GERS a fair working wage, 81, 800
or $1,000 per year would be the
right figure, and the. county
would be served by men who are
not now earning half those sums.
1t is not to be expected that a
man who is able to command q
salary of 81, 800 and who is there
a 81 500 man would resign posi-
ton of nature to serve the county
for four years for approximately
the same sum. IL it is intended
to make the salaries commesu-
rate with the dignity and impor-
tance of the position, $4,000 is
too little. One feature which the
Legislature should seriously con.
slider in determining what is
right and just in the matter is,
that at the sums named in the
bill no man residing in rural New
Castle County could afford to hold
a 1900 or $1,000 office. He
would have two courses from
which to choose remove to Will
mington or pay at least one
fourth of his salary for transpor-
tation and his individual daily
expenses in that CITY,. No man,
competent and eligible, could
afford to do either for a small
salary. The session is drawing
to close, but we hope that this
bill will receive all of the thought
and care necessary to make it
equitable to the county and to
the officials.
