VIEWS OF CANDIDATES.

TT WOULD not be bad idea for all the can
u didates for the Legislature to declare them
selves upon certain topics. The people might
want to know about them. They do know
where Robert Keenan,, Republican nominee from
the Third Representative District of this city
stands They know that he is pledged to a GER
tain admirable platform, and just as soon as the
people learned that, they went TO his support and
nominated him despite the desperate gas and gas
oline efforts to prevent him from going to the
General Assembly.
There is little doubt that the same sort of a
platform would have nominated any good man
in any of the districts Of the city.
The voters would like to know whether the
next General Assembly, heretofore is to be
composed of men bound body and soul to the cor
porations.
Measures may come up regarding the gas trust
of this city Are the legislators to be for the gas
trust or with the people? Street railway matters
may be considered at the next session. VIII the
members simply obey the mandates of the agents
of these companies or not?
Will the nod of the railroad lobbyists be sufh-
cient to pass or defeat any measure that may
come before the Legislature? The railroads
should pay the State more taxes. 1t would be
a remarkable Delaware Legislature, indeed, that
would not be strongly influenced by the corpora
tions, but it could make beginning by showing
some independence at the next session.

FATE OF KANSAS SENATOR.

CENATOR BURTON, of Kansas, is scheduled
~ to 60 to Jail. The Supreme Court has de-
cded against his appeals. The Senator unfor-
tunately for him. is not in New York State where
persons Of wealth and influence can obtain almost
any delay in the execution Of the law The Kan
sas Senator may be able to secure more delay.
It is gruesome thing to see United States
Senator behind the prison bars. Burton has been
convicted twice by jury The Supreme Court
denies him another rehearing. The offence Of
which Burton was convicted was for receiving
fees as attorney while a Senator in a case in
which the United States was interested. The ac-
tion against the Kansas man was brought under
a statute enacted forty years ago, and he is the
first man to be convicted under it.
Burton accepted pay for his influence with the
Postoffce Department to protect get-rich-quick
concern of St. Louis which was threatened with
a fraud order by the Postofhce Department,
which would bar its goods from the mails. The
offence Of Burton was hagrant. In 1904 he was
declared guilty at his first trial and fined and sem
fenced 10 six months Imprisonment Since then
the case has been tied up in the courts.
While some Senators have been accused Of
looking after their own private interests more
than after the welfare of the States that send
them to Washington, cases of misconduct like
that of Burton are rare, and his downfall will
serve as a wholesome warning for the future.
There are not likely to be any more Burtons in
the United States Senate

FIRST GUN OF CAMPAIGN.

TN VERY many ways the addresses of the
a two orators at the opening meeting Of the
campaign were admirable. They made a sweep
ing review OF the history of the country in recent
years. Congressman Dazell especially connect
ed the present with the past.
People in times of prosperity apt TO over
look and forget misfortunes of the bygone days.
Yet in comparing existing conditions with those
under Democratic rule the speaker had to 60 back
to the unfortunate administration of President
Cleveland as an example of what does happen
when the Democrats are in power Mr. Dalzell
also emphasized the commercial and material
Z prosperity of the nation. The figures showed an
astounding development and it is but begin
ming of what there will be in the future. Wages
are higher and better distributed. Wealth is not
distributed we'll enough to be sure, and that part
of it brings down to the present day issues and
the mighty part that President Roosevelt is play
ing.
Under Republican measures and rules one great
problem, the production of wealth. has been
solved. There is no doubt about that part Of it.
The next problem is how to secure a proper dis
tribution OF the wealth that is jointly produced
by labor and capital, and that is the mighty prob
lem that President Roosevelt has undertaken to
demonstrate. Why, then, should he not be given
vote Of conhdence1 Why should he not be per

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 central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam
Raign Text Book and all documents

WATCH THEM AT WORK.

THERE is no doubt that the public service
u corporations have their eyes fixed upon
the next session OF the Legislature They are
watching and talking about any proposed new
citv charter In the proposed charter they had
slipped in a provision which would have greatly
benefited them in their warfare against the peo-
nle. but the obnoxious section was discovered,
and when exposed by THE JOURNAL it was
promptly dropped.
The corporations might as we'll make up their
minds that they will not be able to secure new
CITY charter drafted in their own benefit and
against the interests of the people. No more
taxes will be placed upon the shoulders OF the
people in order that the corporations may es-
cape paving their just share The people Of
Wilmington and Delaware will wake up and dis
cover the tricks and the games played by the
agents of the public service corporations who are
always trying to manipulate legislation for their
own benefit Every man who owns bit OF
property and every man who rents house has
this question brought home to him, The more
the corporations can avoid paying in taxes the
more does the owner or renter have to pay. That
is a self-evident proposition, but it is one that
many people do not often think about
Delaware should not be dominated by a set of
men who know no politics where their private
pocketbooks are concerned, who masquerade un-
der one party name or the other, whichever suits
their fancy in order that they can best exploit
their schemes. For the next few years they will
undoubtedly attach themselves to the Republican
party because they know it has the best chance
Of winning, and so they believe their plans could
be more easily carried out.
But the sentiment throughout the country is
against these corporate schemers and plotters.
They had hold of the party in New York for
years. Look at it to-day. Platt and Depew, the
tools Of corporations and their agents. have been
sent to the rear and are not permitted to take
part in the campaign there. Jerome, supposed
Democratic corporate humbug, is muzzled.
Other leaders who were in high feather during
the old regime and before the Roosevelt idea
gained ascendency, are on the back seats and the
party is fighting desperately to win a victory for
Hughes and common sense against wave of
half-baked and selfish radicalism advocated by
Hearst
The signs of the times are that corporation
domination or control of politics is to be OBJ
scured and the people are to have a chance And
Delaware will not be an exception to the rule,

Do NOT BE A BURDEN
Miller Drug Co. Gives Some Good Ad-
vice to Readers Of The Evening
Journal.

A weak stomach and it's resulting ills
are not natural. With proper care and
the use Of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, the
very worst case Of Indigestion or stom-
ach trouble can be completely cured
It is a sin to deprive oneself of en-
joyment in life and become a burden
to others through Indigestion
The baekaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss Of appetite. gulping
up of undigested food and gases are not
natural. Mi-o-na stomach tablets used
for a few days before meals Will so
strengthen the digestive organs that
you can eat anything you want without
fear OF distress or resulting sickness.
The directions for taking Mi-o-na
emphasize the difference between this
remedy and the ordinary medicine that
is given for Indigestion Mi-o-na is to
be used before meals. strengthening the
digestive system for the food which is
to be eaten, while the ordinary remedy
is taken after meals, and simply di-
gests the food without strengthening
the stomach.
Miller Drug Co. have so much faith
in the merit OF Mi-o-na that they sell
a guarantee to refund the
money in case it does not cure. A So
cent box of Mi-o-na win do more real
good than a dozen packages Of the or
dinary remedies sold for Indigestion
Then. too. It mosts nothing unless II
cures.

mitted to work out problem OF such vital inn
portance to the people?
A return to Democratic rule would mean that
the question of the production Of wealth would
be entirely unsettled and therefore there could be
no question OF the distribution OF wealth. We
can easily see then why the Democrats should
be defeated and the Republicans kept in power.
Altogether the community owes its thanks TO
the two able speakers of last evening. They
talked in a plain matter-of-fact manner; they
brushed up our memories some, and they held
the mirror of present day issues up to us clearly.
We congratulate them and the party.

Use the stamp.
Citizen.


Editor The Evening Journal
Just at the present time there is a
general movement for doing away with
back-stamping. In my opinion the
back stamp on every letter should be
continued. Recently l read the follow
ing editorial on the matter and l think
1t hits the nail on the head:
III a letter or package has been de-
layed In transit the addressee will have
no means OF ascertaining even approx
imately when and where the delay oc-
CURED. Should he complain to the local
ohice the answer VIII be easy that the
detention must have happened at the
other end, and II the complainant cares
to communicate with the office OF
transmission he will still have that
privilege. It frequently becomes inn
portant to ascertain just when some
particular letter reached its destina-
tion, and to that end the arrival post
mark has been a valuable aid, but it
has been abolished, and II will be for
the business men whose correspondence
has thus been affected TO note the re-
suit.
1t cannot be said that the innovation
has been justified by any convincing
argument II has been explained. The
public haa been told that backstamping
takes time and that its abolition will
permit Of more expedition in the deliv-
cry Of the malls. Precisely the same
thing might be said Of the stamp az
fixed at the office Of departure. That
also, takes up time. but its abolition has
not yet been suggested, although, per-
[ taa1 Of
work takes up time and the question
always is whether the time is well
spent. Tho Postomce people contend
10 the contrary, but they are not disin-
terested witnesses. II is said that First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitch
cock. with whom the idea OF do ng
away with the backstamp originated,
has been much surprised at its popu-
llarity with postmasters. His surprise
is in itself surprising OF course. it
/ is popular with postmasters and post
office employees. It lightens their labors
and lessons their responsibilities.
"But 1t is argued that II backstamp-
Ing Is stopped letters can be delivered
more quickly than at present. That is
lundeniably desirable, although expert
ence suggests a doubt as to whether
this greater expedition declared to
have been rendered possible will be
realized But this papers position is
that the p, ople Of this city are entitled
to the best postal service obtainable.
They pay enough for Il and they ought
to get II, but they certainly appear not
to be getting 1t when one function OF
the service as It has heretofore been
organized has 10 be abandoned for the
benefit OF another II the backstamr
is OF no use to anybody its abolition is
commendable but II it is OF use IL ought
TO have been retained, and the force
enlarged to meet the exigsncies Of the
situation"
Here in Wilmington the situation is
the same. Then let our postmaster OBJ
ject TO this whimsical change.
Yours respectfully,
stamped"

want to register a vigorous protest
just as vigorous as II is possible 20 make
IT, against the custom Of the men who
have the contract for removing asoca
fiom the city of having their carts driven
through the streets without covers. At
any time this is most Objectionable but
on a windy day ii bccomfs almost unbear'
able. The ashes paper, dirt Of all kinds
and every particle OF refuse on the cants
Is driven about. 1t strikes people walking
alcng the streets, in the face. covers
their clothes with white powder and
frequently ruins their wearing apparel,o
h9ve dirty ashes blown into ones face is
far from pleasant TO say nothing from
the danger attached to II and to be GOV.
cred from head to foot with the dirt Is
eAasperating. II costs nothing outside OF
little trouble for the drivers 70 spread
canvas coverings on the wagons after
they are loaded and this keeps the ashes
from being blown about by the wind.
Every driver should be obliged to have
one cover and compelled to spread It on
his wagon after he starts for the place
whore the load Is to be deposited.
