try to a man of his calling.

Delaware.

IT turns out, as The Star suggested the
other day. that Mr.. Addicks Is far from
being out of the running in Delaware. He
considers himself as still on the track, and
through his newspaper Is heartening his
followers with assurances of ultimate sue
cess The legislature is on the eve of as
sembling for the purpose of electing a SEN
ator. Surely the choice will not fall on this
man. Nor should ii fall on man of his
choice For should an Addicks man be
elected now, the effect would be to
strengthen Mr.. Addicks himself for try at
the next senatorship. 1t is nearly twenty
years since the politics of Delaware first
teit the influence that has covered it with so
much scandal, and apparently the day is
not near at hand when that influence will
disappear.

Democratic Talk of Roosevelt.

Richard Croker is quoted as follows from
London: Il think Roosevelt is bound to be
renominated and reelected. His actions
show he IS more in the fight today than he
ever was, Nothing can get him cut of 1t.
If opposition arises to him in the republican
party / should. IL were at home, favor his
nomination by the democratic national con-
vention. as the situation stands today"
There are contradictory reports about Mr.
Croker. One is tina, he takes no interest In
American politics, but gives his time wholly
to his horses and his horsey friends. Turf
returns have superseded election returns
with him. Candidates for the English
derby are Of greater interest In his eyes
than candidates for the American presi-
dency. Rich In purse. but poor through

Bananas and Bumps

Two superstitions were verified at one
stroke the other day by a slight street acci-
dent In this city. Some thoughtless lover OF
fruit ate banana and threw the skin on
the sidewalk. Along came workman to

over the innocent looking bit OF peel. While
he was at work pedestrian saunterec Dy,

and knees and soiled clothing no damage
was done. But 1t might have been much
worse There can be no doubt after this that
it is extremely uniucky-for some one-to
throw banana skin upon the sidewalk, ana
also very dangerous to walk under ladder
and sometimes to work on one. 1t assuredly
behooves the man who has ladder work to do
to make sure that there are no fruit skins
lying around in his neghborhood. Unfortu-
nately, this little demonstration brought no
pain to the person who ate the banana.

A Lynching with Business Features

Count that day lost which brings US
nothing new in the matter of our lynching
habit. That habit is no longer sectional or
racial 1t is no longer confined to zone
offense. 1t is no longer the indulgence ex-
clusvely of rowdies of the imma ture
The spirit of lynehing has spread until all
sections exhibit it, all crimes are considered
by it. and all classes. from the tough and the
registering boy to the citizen of good stand
Ing in the community, yield to its influence
1t is, the most appalling evil In America
today. But. strangely and sadly enough, 1T
exctes far less alarm than the oppression
of the trusts, or the manner of conducting
political campaigns.
The latest story comes from Louisiana
and shows an advance in some particulars
over the current mob style. This mob did
not trust itself to horses, or to Shanks
mare, but chartered special railroad train
and went in STYLE 1t likewise provided
itself with all implements necessary to in
sure a smooth, swift job. Locksmlths
were taken along. and the doors of the jail
thus easily opened. Everything worked to a
charm. Even fortune helped men who had
taken such pains to help themselves The
jail unguarded, and the sherins first
intimation of the mobs presence was its
departure from the prison with It's victim
in it's clutches. The rest, of course. was
equally easy.
In this case the Impotence was with the
state courts. The complaint about the laws
delay was lodged against them. No out
sder," like the Supreme Court of the
United State, had "butted in,'' and no
politics Is alleged. in the Chattanooga
case. The victim of the mob was white
man. and the mob was avenging a white
man.
1t ought not to be difficult to identify the
members of mob acting in this open and
business-like fashion. Those who chartered
the special train must have known the pur-
pose In view Those who filled the coaches
must have been plain to view In embarking
and disembarking and re-embarking. There
has not been anywhere a transaction of the
kind with clues easier If so easy. Will they
be followed, and will they yield anything?
They will yield nothing that will act as
deterrent OF this we may be sure. These
men felt themselves entirely safe And they
are safe. 1t would be easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of needle than for the
law to swing of these individuals off at
the end of rope in a sherif's hands.
