no BE UNREGISTERED is A DISGRACE

THE final day of registration is on. Those
Il who have failed to qualify will dsfranchise
themselves. There are yet few hours in which
the belated men can register. Those who appre-
cate the privilege Of being citizens and who have
so far neglected to qualify by registration should
seize the opportunity this afternoon before it is
too late Important questions may arise between
now and election day Men who are not qualified
may wish they had not neglected this duty before
the election day rolls around.
TO Republicans this is most important cleo
ton. The Democrats have been pretending to
conduct high moral campaign but there is
every reason to believe that they are this after
noon engaged in practices which they have SO
cordially professed to condemn during the last
few weeks Republicans shou not be misled
bv any pretensons of the Democrats Every Re
publican should prepare himself so that he can
vote next month The Republicans should not
run any chance OF losing the Legislature, and it
does not want TO be said of the united party that
the reunion and harmony OF the factions is to be
baptized with defeat or reduced Republican
majority. Let Republicans who arc not on the
list OF qualified voters at once register. Then
they will have no reason for regret.

AM 1MpoRTANr DIscovERY.

THE Every Evening is struggling hard to
i make itself believe that it has discovered
something After referring to Bryan as DEM
agogue for having criticised the United States
Supreme Court, it calls attention to President
Roosevets speech at Harrisburg, and says he
praised graNers Now, to put the President in
the role of being a CRATER or praising graiters,
is indeed new idea but we doubt the ability OF
that paper to make its own readers believe any
such trash
But, to the Every Evening that is not the end
OF the Presidents offending. 1t says he spoke
OF the many judicial decisions which ! am con-
fdent time will show to have been erroneous.
This the Every Evening considers as evidences
of dangerous anarchistic tendencies in the
President Happily for the people in this coun-
try, every man has the right not only to form
his own opinions, but to express them. The fact
that one may happen to disagree with United
States Supreme Court decision does not make
him an anarchist by any means; and if that were
the test for such a case, it would, if applied to
that court, make anarchists of some of its own
members, for its judges have, from time to time,
not only recognized the error in some of their
opinions but they have had the courage, and
enough fairness, to correct the error and they
have frequently overruled their own decisions.
Apparently the Every Evening is more concern
ed about the sanctity Of that court than the
Judges are, for even they do not consider them
selves infallible

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
Legislative record of the party, and,
that being SO, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work Of
this campaign with popular suhscrip-
tions Of One Dollar each from Rcpub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam.
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.

Initiative and Referendum
Explained

THE INITIATIVES Suppose it is desired to
have passed certain much needed law. This
may be accomplished by circulating petition to
be signed by five per cent. of the voters (Which IN
Delaware means about 2,Ioo) to the effect that
the measure be submitted to vote by the people.
If favored by majority it becomes law. Ex-
perience shows that the Initiative is rarely used,
as the Legislature generally acts on suggestion if
they think that it is such that the people would
vote Yes.
THE REFERENDUM-Unde the Referen-
dunn each law which passes the Legislature shall
not take effect for certain time. If during this
time FIVE per cent. of the voters petition for
Referendum vote the law goes to vote by the
people If voted against by majority it becomes
void.

rHE oABBLE ABoUT coRRUPTIoN.

nUR Democratic friends, judging from the
~ literature" of their press bureau, and the
articles Of Candidate Wilson in his Dover paper,
are in bad plight They are fearful that the
Republicans are going to corrupt everybody in
the State and they hope this won't be done.
The attitude reminds us OF a story frequently
told Of the late Colonel Ike Hill, noted Demo-
cratic politician Of Ohio. lie was an ardent free
silver man, and in 1890 attended the famous Chi
cago Democratic National Convention at the
head Of a silver delegation. The Colonel was
asked what the outlook was for silver and he
replied in effect: "Our delegation is firm and
staunch for silver. and we shall win If the gold
bugs do not buy us up
The Democrats may imagine that they will
win il the Republicans do not buy them up
This, of course doesn't speak very we'll for the
Democrats, but let it go at that We have heard
so much about money and the big funds Of late
that we really welcome the coming election and
the Anti-Bribery League. Let them make all
the noise they want and the polls will tell the
tale The statements that Delaware is naturally
Democratic by large majority and that the use
)oi money turned the State over to the Republ-
cans is based ON false assumption. People who
make such charges are not careful of the facts.
Years ago the Republicans frequently carried
Sussex county New Castle has always been
normally Republican Kent was the only DEM
ocratic county in the State. fractional fighting
among the Democrats there lost them the
county. The Democrats in all the counties got
their majorities by .disiranchising large NUM-
Der of voters through the operation OF the laws
that are happily erased from our statute books.
And that is one thing, giving us a free ballot
which should so to the credit OF the Republican
party.
There have been vast political changes in
neighboring States and Delaware has been af-
fected likewise. The Republican party has
gained elsewhere, and why not in Delaware?
There is nothing strange that Delaware should
90 Republican when a State like Missouri leaves
her Democratic moorngs. Let the Democrats
cry corrupt corrupt corrupt all they please
They know that in the past they have been cor
rupt themselves as much as they could be, How
many Of their own votes have been purchased?
Let them howl themselves hoarse about cor.
ruption They will scare no one and they will
deceive no one
Where is all the corruption coming from at
this election7 Judging from Addicks recent
troubles it does not look as if he can raise much
OF campaign fund The Republicans in New
York State are appealing for money as earn
estly as they know how for their legitimate ex
penses of the campaign, We don't know who (.
going to do the corruptng or where the money
will be released

InltintIvn and Referendun.

The ninth century has passed into
history as a century Of unparalleled
growth. Of unequalled achievement
along material lines. But the moral
and spiritual growth OF mankind lag
ged behind, and the dawn OF the
twentieth century found mankind no
nearer true happiness than they were
q hundred years before; for great
riches piled up IN the hands Of a few
men, make both their possessors and
those who are deprived Of them equally
miserable. The opening of the
twentieth century found nation still
competing with nation in building huge
fleets whose only object was to overawe
friendly nations by a show of power.
The building Of these huge fleets was
far more Injurious TO the nation thlt
built them than 1t was to any other
nation; but a turn I'm the way men
think Of such things came early ia
the present century, and one OF tho
greatest victories ever won by
altruistic ideas was won by means OF
the referendum when Norway by a
great popular vote. decided TO separate
from the kingdom of Sweden and have
a king Of her own.
For centuries past such an event
would have been followed by a bloody
war, but not a man was injured, not a
cannon was fired except In salute.
King Oscar, Of Sweden, acquiesced ia
the result of the referendum and the
people OF Norway were almost mani-
nous i'm their decision to withdraw
from Sweden. That II was peacefully
done, is greatly to the credit Of both
countries, and that both countries
recognized the popular viii, expressed
| by the referendum, as a law higher
and more binding than any law In the
statute books, seems TO mark the
dawning OF new era In the history OF
the world. The Divine right of kings
to rule is no longer recognized in any
civilized nation. Some nations prefer
10 have a king as a kind Of a social
figure head, but the new king of Nor

DEcEIvING ITS READERS AGAIN.

THE Every Evening has been saying much
4 about the Court House ring and its alleged
county ticket. AS a matter OF fact there has been
no Court House ring during the present cam
paign. The men who are supposed to have COM
posed this ring were divided and split against
each other, often supporting widely different can
didates. This fact however, would make no diff
ference to our neighbor that tries to twist every
thing to the support of its purposes The Re
publicans have named strong county ticket,
with no taint of ring about it. Those who ap-
preciate good county government and do not
wish to see the administration of affairs again fall
into the hands of the Democrats, should support
the county ticket named by the Republicans.
