The police are finding us out.
Officer l. II Pinney, of Erie, Pa,
painted his house DeYoe & Reynolds
perhaps two or three years ago the
tale don't tell when-the painter OBJ
jected, but Pinney insisted.
Two neighbors of Pinney's have
painted since: one .lead-and-oil, the
other some other paint, don't know
what.
But officer Pinney lives in the incest
painted house of three. The rest of
the story we don't know what it cost
the three to paint. We can guess F;
about half for Pinney.

A nuisance ordered Abated.

An extremely trying annoyance to
persons living beyond the railroad on
Morris street has been the habit of
some of the trainmen Of pulling across
the sidewalk with their trains. In
some cases, where trains start from
Morristown, trains have shut off the
sidewalk and compelled people toeither
wait or plod around through the mid
die of the street for spaces of ten min
utes. The matter was presented to
Mayor Reed recently by one who had
suffered so many such annoyances that
he had grown exceeding tired, and the
Mayor took up the matter with Presi-
dent Truesdale of the railroad. The
latter has written very courteous
letter in reply thanking the Mayor for
bringing the matter to his attention
and stating that orders have been
given that trainmen must not block
this sidewalk while waiting at the
station.

that reason, they claimed, it should not be con-
tnued. But the forward pass adds greatly to
the spectacular features of the game, and it
doubtless will find some warm supporters among
those who will formulate the rules for next year.
The ten-yard rule is also subject that win =
considered Some noted football authorities
think the ten-yard rule is too much Of a burden,
because a team although good on the offensive
finds it difficult to make ten-yard gain in order
to secure a first down. The distance may be re-
duced to seven yards and yet the ten-yard rule
has done a great deal to do away with the buck
ing and rushing tactics and caused the open field
play. And it is the open work that has increased
the interest this year in the sport aud placed foot

perncious influence of the corrupt leaders OF the

ANOTHER SHOT FROM MR.. HOUSTON.

n DITOR Bob" Houston Of the Sussex Re-
- publican, still smarting under his disap
pointment to be reapponted Collector of the
Port and chagrined by the failure of his recent
efforts to make the Legislature Democratic fired
last week into us the full charge Of his pop-gun.
lie takes exception at our favoring the plan OF
selecting Kent or Sussex man to succeed Sen
ator Alice and to allow a majority Of the Kent
and Sussex Republican members OF the Legisla-
ture to choose the man. In advocating that plan,
Editor Houston says we are trying to help Sen
ator Alice, and yet, in the next breath he says
that Alice has not single vote in Sussex and
is not wanted by his own county If his state
ment Of Allee's strength be true, then plan is
the most certain and effectual to prevent Allees
reelection, and we cannot understand why he
tries to pick quarrel with us on that point. We
have so often stated our position on the senator
ship matter that it is hardly necessary to repeat
it, but we will say to Editor Houston that we are
in favor Of that Kent or Sussex man for Senator
who has a majority OF the Republican members
Of the Legislature from the two lower counties,
be he Richardson, Pennewill, Alice, Burton,
Maull our friend and critic Bob Houston, or
any other respectable and respected Republican
citizen On this matter we are as open and above
board as our contemporary the Morning News,
and we will stand by that policy until the next
Senator is elected, and we care not whom it may
reward or dsappoint
Editor Houston also takes us to task for COM
mending President Roosevelt That, of course,
is due solely to the fact that he turned against
the President as he did Alice. for not reappoint-
ing him Collector of the Port. We all under
stand his feeling, but hope he will not carry it 50
far as TO greatly annoy the President
Now, Bob why not look matters square in
the face and make the best of conditions? You
and your friends made a strong fight for your
reappointment We think you or Postmaster
licald should have been reappointed But our
advice did not prevail and YOU lost your place.
lou made strong ight in the last campaign to
give the Democrats an advantage over the Re

throw aside your bitterness toward the Republi-

good? In the end it will be better for you and
make you happier.

DELEGATES NAMED
Board Of Trade Selects Men to Attend
Rivers and Harbors Conference.

AT the meeting In Washington of the
National Rivers and Harbors Confer
once on Thursday and Friday, this city
will be represented by Jerome B. Bell.
Horace G. Knowles Josiah Marvel.
Captain Philip Reybold, Persifor Frazer
Of the Harlan and Hollingsworth Com
pany; James c. O'Neal, of the Mer-
camille Association; Alfred ID. Warner
Lewis r. Bush, William w. Lobdell and
William Lawton, these gentlemen hav-
ing been selected by President Thomas
II. SaYery, Of the Wilmington Board
Of Trade.
This will be the third convention Of
the organization. and its purpose IS to
bring about the placing of the Rivers
and Harbors bill upon a plane with
other annual government appropria-
tions. making it regular and in size
commensurate with its great impor-
tance to the commercial and economic
welfare Of the nation.
other matters to be considered will
be transportation freight rates and
plans to arouse commercial, agricultu-
raj. manufacturing. consuming and pro-
ducing elements Of all sections Of the
country to demand from the Congress
Of the United States that more Just
proportion of the revenues of the gen.
eral government be devoted to the i'm
provement Of the river and harbors Of
the nation.
As the result OF former efforts on the
part of the organization, Chief Of En-
gineers Mackenzie. of the War De-
partment, recommended that Whining
ton harbor be allowed $4,000 for main
tenance next year, which is the largest
amount for the one item of mainte-
nance in some time He also recon-
mended $4,000 for continuance Of pro-
ject ana maintenance Of the Murderkill,
MispillioR and APPOINTMENTS rivers;
$4,000 for maintenance Of st. Jones river
and $1,000 for Smyrna river. While
these appropriations, If granted, viii go
a long ways in the right direction. yet
il is felt that they are not sufficient to
accomplish all all that should be done.

GAME GROWS IN PUBLIC FAVOR.

THE chief criticism directed against the
4 game of football as played under the re-
vised rules is that the time is too short The
halves now are only thirty minutes each, which
is a reduction from even the time played last
year. Some years ago when the present open
game was in vogue, the halves were each three
quarters Of an hour, but the time has been graz
ually reduced. This season has demonstrated
that the game is not so rough as II was, the in
juries are fewer, and consequently the time
taken out for delay because OF one reason or an
other is much less than it formerly was. There
fore the play is much shorter all around, and 10
the spectator the game seems to be just becom-
ing interesting when all OF a sudden it is all over
That is the principal objection that has been urg-
ed against the play this year.
The forward pass addition to the rules also viii
likely come up for consideration at the next meet
ing of the committee on rules. Some of the
most brilliant plays of the year have been made
through means of the forward pass In the
great Army-Navy game at Philadelphia the Mid

Firearms in the Home.

Editor The Evening Journal
The practice Of allowing firearms to re-
main about the home where they can be
reached by children is dangerous. Only
the other day a case was brought to
my attention where a child came near
shooting it's mother with a revolver
which had been placed m an open draw
err The child was playing upstairs ana
came across the weapon. The little one
took the revolver and went downstairs
where the mother WAS at work The
child walked into the room and, pointing
the weapon toward its mother pulled
the trigger Fortunately the hammer OF
the revolver struck AN empty shell. but
the next she'll was loaded The mother
grabbed the revolver from the hand of
the child and when she discovered the
loaded shell she almost collapsed. Sew
eral accidents have occurred In this man
ner. and / think that parents and older
persons should be careful about leaving
weapons or even matches lying about
the home. Especially In the suburban
villages Is this practice common during
the cunning season. when persons return
from the hunt and leave their guns
where they can be handled by children.
More care should be exercised in the
handling OF firearms about the home.
Respectfully.
