Anything Bur strenuoue.


The letter Of President Roosevelt in
relation TO the charge that he accused
Senators Foraker, Knox and Spooner of
trying to kill the Railroad Rates bill by
constitutional quibbles is anything but
strenuous; nor does it contain the slightest
suggestion Of the square deal"
The issues raised by Senator Till
mans speech in the Senate were: That
the President, through ex-senator Chand-
Ter, sought 20 effect a combination with
the Democratic Senators in support of
the Rates bill; that he abused Senators
Foraker, Knox and Spooner, as above
related.
The first issue the President replies to
by raising a question Of veracity. He
says that no did not send Chandler to the
Democratic Senators, but that the latter
sent Chandler TO him.
Il will be for the jury of the people to
weigh this conflict of testimony and give
credence to the side that may appear the
more worthy Of il.
The second issue, as 70 the President 3
attack upon the three Republican sena-
tors, is absolutely ignored.
That the President will have adherents
and advocates in this controversy is not
TO be doubted. But will they equal in
numbers those who, by virtue of the
weight Of argument, will be forced to the
conclusion that President Roosevelt has
resorted to gross prevarication, to say
the least

PLEASING SONG RECITAL.

Mr.. Edwin Evans song recital in the
New-Century Club drawingroom. last
evening, was rare musical event and
one which delighted the audience ex-
oeedingly.
Mr. Evans voice is a baritone of great
depth, rich in tone and cultivated TO a
faultless technique The selection of
songs was most charming and included
some well-known iavorites. The plan Of
printing the songsin full on the programme
thee foreign ones translated, was delight
ful for the audience
Mr.. Philip II. Goepp proved a sym
pathetic accompanist. The affair was
under the management of Miss

work of Polltlonl clnhs.

Now is the time when the party organs
and the politicians make lusty calls upon
the voters to organize into clubs for the
purpose OF Saving the country" through
the triumph Of the party they may stand
for.
As a rule. these political clubs Of a cam
paign are largely personal organizations,
designed for promoting the political in-
terests Of this aspirant or the other to a
public Office 1t is seldom that they are
formed for the unselfsh purpose Of adj
vancing the interests Of the party, regard
less Of the interests of the politicians.
And yet there is a legitimate field for
there political clubs. Under our cleo
toral system a great deal OF work is neces-
sary in order TO secure a full registration
Of the voters The regular party COM
nfittees are expected to look after this
work, but il taxes their abilities. Il is a
work that calls for close canvassing
among individuals, and committee mem
berships cannot do this effectively.
Here is where the mushroom" clubs
will find legitimate sphere of usefulness
Each club may resolve itself into an adj
iunct to the political committee of It's
party, for the purpose of hauling the
voters to the places of registration. The
work may be done in a manner that will
not interfere with the committees opera
tions, but, on the contrary, largely pro-
mote them. The clubs may also do
effective work on election day in bringing
dilatory voters to the polls Under our
system, these clubs may also prove effec-
tive agencies in buying votes, and this
they have been in the past; but there
is reason to believe that this disreputable
business will no longer disgrace elections
in Delaware
In the work above detailed, and also
in the way of holding public meetings,
the campaign clubs of Delaware may
serve a useful purpose, one far more
creditable than merely serving the ends
of designing politicians and seekers after
Office.

Not a PartIsan Matter.

The Union Republican Of Georgetown
relieves itself editorially in this ievid
manner. "If two Union Republicans
he'd been jailed for election fraudsi had
a former Union Republican member Of
the Legislature been hailed before a magis-
trate for the same reason, we venture
70 say that three-fourths Of the editorial
space Of our Wilmington contemporaries
would have been allotted TO depicting the
dire results of Union Republican influence
in Delaware politics. Union Republican
leaders, and the party in general, would
have been cussed aud discussed, libelled
and slandered from A 10 lizard, and the
hypocritioal stencil arising from those
editorial columns would have been nause-
ating. But when some high exponent
Of clean and pure politics, such as obtain
only north Of Duck Creek, are sent to the
worShouse, and another unsullied soul
is in like danger the silence is thick enough
TO cut. And instead Of general con-
demnation Of the whole dirty steal, why,
a pardon is asked for those who are serv-
ing sentence"
The Union Republican does not appre-
ciate the fact that no partisan considera-
tions are involved in the prosecution Of
these election frauds The fact that the
parties implicated are Repular Repub-
licans is merely an incident, not an essen
tial element Of the prosecutions.
As TO newspaper condemnation Of the
frauds that we're perpetrated, and stern
demands for the punishment Of the
offenders, they have not been lacking.
But they we're directed against the overt
acts and in commendation Of the course
Of justice that was taken 10 punish them,
regardless of the partisan affiliations Of
the culprits. Speaking for Every Even
ing, we can say that the course pursued
by this paper would have been precisely
the same had the offenders been Union
Republicans or Democrats. Il was the
upholding Of the law that we had in view,
and nothing else As TO the matter Of
pardon for the convicted offenders, with
out due consideration for the interests
Of justice, that proposition was reso-
lutely opposed by Every Evening from
the first.
But our Sussex contemporary need not
assume that Union Republicans have
kept out Of iail for election crimes bv
reason of their superior virtue. Many Of
them, had they received their just deserts,
would today be serving terms in prison
for the crime Of buying votes.

Legislature, under the lead Of State Sena-
tor Everett Colby, will oppose the re-eleo-
tion of United States Senator John F..
Dryden, whose term will expire on March
3D. 1907.
Dryden is one Of the men who secured
election to the Senate solely by reason of
the fact that he is a man of wealth. Aside
from this he possesses few of the quail
fications which are held to be essential
in this high and dignihed office.
Dryden, as president Of large insur-
