Adaloks and Alice.

When j. Edward Addicks and Senator
Alice. with a great fare OF bugles an
nounced that they had come to tho
sarting Of tho ways, and said nasty
things about each other in the news
papers, many people in Delaware were
Of the opinion that the fight was merely
a "iake," designed for a deliberate pur-
pose IL was well known that President
Roosevelt was bitterly opposed TO any
recognition Of Addicks, and the belief
was that Addicks and Alice feared that
the latter might not enjoy the full Presi-
dental favor in the matter Of patronage
II he remained the friend Of his old chief.
And so the fight was arranged, to make
the President believe that in favoring
Alice with the Federal patronage he
would be not giving aid and encourage
ment 10 Addicks.
But Addicks most recent attitude
indicates that tho fight may have ex-
tended beyond the bounds OF taking
into the realms Of reality, Now he
seems TO be actually angry at Alice. The
latter may have used his patronage
privileges so completely to his own ad-
vantage as 10 hurt the chances of his old
friend and leader Certainly, he made
overtures TO the du Points, Addicks
political enemies, but having been bum
coed so tremendously in the matter Of
their liberal contributions to the Union
Republican vote-buying fund in Kent
and Sussex counties at the last election,
in return for the promise Of the Senator
ship, they would have nothing to do with
him. Now Addicks Processes a willing
ness TO unite with the du Points and mako
one Of them a Senator II he can get the
caucus nomination.
Devious indeed are the ways Of politics,
and stranger things than an Addicks-
du Pont alliance have come to pass. But
there are those who will be-
iieve in such an alliance when they see
II and not before. A special session of
the Legislature, with the Senatorial
election 10 be determined by caucus rule,
Is too suggestive Of Addicks to be even
consi dered without the greatest pre-
caution.

in San Francisco, which exhibits the con-

that OF a primitive civilization, is pic

When the Test Came.

As was freely predicted, when the real
test came between President Roosevelt
and the Republican opponents Of his
Rates bill policy, Senator Alice of Della
ware was found wanting.
The test came just before the final
passage OF the bill in the United States
Senate, last Friday afternoon. It was
on the amendment striking from the bill
in the section relating to the power Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
establish rates, the words, "in It's judg-
ment" These few words formed the
compromise which Aldrich and Allison.
representing the opposition to the Presi-
dent, arranged with Dolliver and Lodge.
representing the administration Sena-
tors. But II was compromise made
only to be broken. When the amend
ment striking out these words was offered
Aldrich found il convenient to be away
from the Senate Chamber, while Allison
voted in the negative, for appearance
sake. But fifty Senators, mostly Re-
publieans, arrayed themselves in direct
opposition 70 President Roosevelt by
voting for and adopting this amendment.
And among the fifty was Senator Alice
Of Delaware.
President Roosevelt was very good TO
Senator Alice, He vested him with
absolute power in distributing Federal
patronage in this State, going to the OK
tent Of special efforts to provide for his
friend Layton, and in return expected
Alice to do two things, Bring about Re
publican harmony in Delaware and stand
by the administration in the Railroad
Rates bill fight
But Alice did neither Instead of pro-
noting harmony in Delaware he excited
discord Instead of standing BY the adj
ministration in the Rates bill fight. he
went over to the enemy at the most
critical stage
President Roosevelt may be surprised
at such perhdy on the part of the lone
Senator from Delaware, whom be trusted
so absolutely, but there are many here in
Delaware who will not be.

As 70 Governor Lea.

Since Boss Addicks announced that he
was willing 10 rest his chances for the
United States Senate upon a caucus of
the Republican members Of the Legisla-
ture, at a special session, many Republic
cans at this end Of the State have jumped
10 the conclusion that Governor Lea will
call the special session without delay.
But il is not supposable that Governor
Lea will call a special session Of the Legis-
lature for the purpose Of allowing the
Senatorial vacancy 70 be filled by Re-
publican caucus in which Addicks
would be the dominating influence.
Addiclss has controlled the Republic
can majority Of every Republican Legis-
lature since 1895. In the last Legisla-
ture he had p Of the 81 Republican
members and held IS Of them, with
another trembling in the balance, to tho
last day Of the session, thus preventing
an election.
II anyone supposes for an instant that
Governor Lea will be such an ass as to
deliberately open the door for ]. Edward
Addcks TO walk into the United States
Senate, he does not know the governor.

PRESERVATION OF NIAGARA.
connnicated

Commicated.
The following is copied from a letter
to a Wilmingtonian from the president
of the American Civic Association:
Harrisburg, Pa, May l6, l906.-A
grave emergency confronts the American
Civic Association in its Niagara preserya-
ton campaign The Burton-Lodge bill,
which, drawn after consultation with
President Roosevelt, seeks to halt Niagara
diversion at the present point, and to
prove American sincerity in Niagara pre-
servation by prohibiting the importation
of Canadian electric power, has been under
consideration for more than month by
the rivers and harbors committee Of the
House Of Representatives. If it is not
reported on the next suspension day,
Monday, May 2lst, there is small chance
OF its passage.
Consultation with President Roosevelt
and Secretary Root on Saturday con-
WINGED me that unless the latter is supplied
with the evidence of sincerity which would
be presented by the Burton bill, or its
equivalent, he would not succeed in ne
gotiating any satisfactory Niagara pre-
servation treaty with Great Britain
There is a disposition in the rivers and
harbors committee to permit the mis-
chievous recommendations Of the Inter
national Waterways Commission, which
would permit the diversion of one-third
of the water of Niagara for selfish pur-
poses, to be incorporated in the bill. and
there is an attempt also to complicate the
bill by making il an act to sustain the
Chicago drainage canal rather than
Niagara preservation bill.
The Burton bill does provide for the
Chicago drainage canal, giving the Secre-
tary of War authority to permit the
diversion of water for domestic purposes.
II should not however, be so changed as
to make the Chicago drainage canal ap-
parentlv paramount, as in that event the
hostility of all other lake ports would be
excited and the bill be inevitably defeated.

Heads and Tails.

The display head monstrosities in
augurated by the Hearst newspapers. and
eagerly adopted by many imitators, have
formed the subject OF discussion as to
the proper relation between headings and
articles-heads and tails, as II were-in
well regulated and sane publications.
"As to typographical display" very
pertinently says Editor Lyman Of the
New York Tribune, Il doubt if anybody
really prefers the tadpolo fashion of setting
up newspap all head and no tail It
is worse, il possible than the cemetery
style-l0,OO0 600 cubic miles Of head
O,0OO0OO,GoO cubic leagues of tail.
Headlines are relative"
So they are, and have been ever since
their introduction. There was a time
when heads figured TO little extent in many
newspapers and to none at all in Others.
Then came an era of making the head
fit the news, " which had its advantages, as
well as its disadvantages Naturally
there was evolved the sensible plan Of
each paper adopting a uniform style of
headings to run through its columns.
ranging from the single-line head TO the
display head Of as many sections as were
considered desirable or geographically
appropriate but never running TO the
sensationalism Of poster type accentuated
by inks Of haring hue, as is a marked
feature Of the yellow journals
This is the style tiiat prevails among
large number of the best papers Of
the country. Il Is the regulation scheme,
susceptible Of variations, however, to
meet the demands of news Of an extraor-
dinary character, such as reports OF the
recent earthquake and conhagration in
San Francisco. Extra lines and larger
types then supplement the regulation
style Of headings
And with this system we believe the
majority of newspaper readers are con-
tent. II answers TO convey a picture Of
the news that follows, and is not employed
merely TO cover a paueity Of the detail
Il does not offend the eye or disgust the
mind Il is practical, sensible and sufii.

Even a worse CALAMITY.

In his testimony given before the judi
ciay committee Of the House Of Ropre-
sentatives, United States Senator Morgan
j. Bulkeley of Connecticut admitted that
he had made contributions 10 the cam
paign funds OF the Republican National
Committee from the assets of the insur-
ance company Of which he is president.
He justified his action on the ground
"that the election Of Mr.. Bryan would
have been a calamity"
This is the subterfuge by which many
Of the managers and directors Of financial
and hduciay institutions, during the
national campaigns of 1896 and 1900.
soothed their troubled consciences. The
election Of Mr.. Bryan, they argued, would
be a national calamity, in that his adj
ministration would disturb business. un-
settle values threaten the stability Of the
gold basis, and thus inhict great injury
to the financial trusts committed 10 their
care. Therefore it would be proper to
take some Of the money belonging to the
interests they had in charge, and oxpend
it for their protection by securing the
defeat of this dangerous candidate.
The logic Of results shows the iallacv
of this line Of reasoning. II also empha-
sizes the fact that no wrong act may be
justified by good consequences attending
IL. The fact remains that the people who
thus applied to political purposes the
money held by them in trust were doing a
wrong act, and no amount Of good that
might have attended their action can
be offered as a plea in extenuation.
But instead of good, great evil attended
this departure from right. this violation
of trust The threat Of Bryan was the
pretext for the first wrong; the desire TO
keep the Republican party in power led
to its continuance. After Bryan had
ceased 10 be a menace, the vile practice
Of robbing great financial concerns for
political purposes continued. until finally
it was exposed to the great scandal Of the
country.
Is not this deplorable condition even
q greater calamity than the election Of
Bryan would have been
