walking over muddy roads.
What should be done now is left
undone. At some future time, not
far distant, ii will cost the county
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
repair the damage, when a stitch in
time would have saved nine. The
fact is, the Boss knows more about
graft" than county roads, it Is a
death and life fight, he sees his sine
cure Office which yields him $4,000
a year as tax commissioner vanish
ing from his sight, and all the other
peryusites of bosship slipping from
his grasp, and he Is filling every nook
and corner of the county with lunch
men, some are paid and others are
promised future reward. The people
are tired of political bu~nco-steerers
and ex-senatorial supercilious graft
ers. Boss Strong is not of the stripe
to cut down the county expenses, he
and his kind have cost the state many
millions of dollars.
When the weather and the roads
are dry he sends the big iron roller
over them, and, instead of pressing
the stone down 1t loosens II. then the
Boss and his board blames the auto

Boss Strong's organ, The Home

over a hundred thousand
dollars. Why didn't it say a million?
Boss Strong's Board of FreehOlders
save money to the county because
they do not keep the roads in repair,
the county's roads are going to mud
and humps and holes; 1t would be nc
trouble to bury the boss and his free
holders in some of the ruts.
Instead of purchasing crushed
stone and hiring honest labor to put
it on the roads, sthe Boss retains a
large staff of "supers" or assistants
for his f~reeholders, each one having
at his command from one to five as
sistants who clean the county's boots,
run errands and carry reports. They
are kept on the pay roll in case OF
emergency. Each freeholder assist
ant is furnished with a badge, a
brush and a muck rake" coat OF

is made. they purchase a small sized
mesh stone and dump 1t into the mud
where II sinks out of sight. No foun-
dation being provided for the recep-
ton of the stone, the road bitches are
filed with mud, never cleaned, and
the bridges neglected. The Boss's
idea of cutting expenses is, that it is
better for him, and costs the county

ants than to purchase material

FRESH TROUBLE IN DELAWARE.
Alice Refuses to Recognize Removal
Fractional Strife Renewed.

The republican factionai fight in Delta
ware has broken out afresh. While many
politicians believe that the action of j..
Edward Addicks and his followers In re-
moving Senator Alice from the chairman
ship of the union republican state commit
tee was Illegal. the fact remains that the
factiona1 lines have been drawn tighter
than ever before 1t Is also true that Ad-
dicks is now in position to seriously re-
tard harmony proceedings which have
been under way for several weeks.
Senator Alice refuses to abide by the
decision of the union committee. He Will
not attempt to reassemble the committee
In endeavor to undo what Addfcks. has
done.
The intention OF the Addicks stalwarts is
to nominate Addicks for representative in
Congress and to name a full set of state
nominees. This, they declare, VIII enable
them to force recognition by the Alice
Ball convention. If the nomination OF Ad-
dicks for Congress shall not be affirmed.
or some plan agreed upon that will be sat
isfactery to him, it can be set down as a
fact that the harmony convention of
September 5 will not accomplish It's pur-
pose.

Nine. Andreieva, sailed from Hoboken
yesterday on the steamship Princess Irene

people are being set down. said he when
pressed for some sort OF an expression Of
his feelings. And that was all.
His companion. when asked what she
thought Of the reception she and GOrky
had received. replied That the Americans
simply could not understand. She had no i'll
feeling toward them for that. however, and
had enjoyed her stay here.
Gorky's seventeen-year-old adopted son
was among the party OF a score that were
at the pier TO say good-by TO the pair.
He and Gorky embraced and kissed each
other. The boy is going West to sail

Of tho things the newspapers had said about
him.
