Thanks to the vigorous and deter
mined stand against bribery taken by
ATTORNEY General Richards and to the
active efforts of the Anti-Bribery
League to the same end The election
in this State on last Tuesday was one
of the cleanest we have had here for
several years, and the vote as recorded
probably represents the actual senti
ments of the elecsors. No donbt some
money was used in a corrupt way, as
of old, but we shall never be able to
eliminate bribery altogether until the
arrival of the millennium, an event that
is not likely to happen in the day of
any persons now living.
The point on which the people of
Delaware may congratulate themselves
is that corruption at the polls is no
longer the rule, and that public senti-
ment is now thoroughly aroused
against all forms of political debauch-
cry. 1t may be truthfully said that
the attitude Of the chairmen of the two
political parties also had much to do
with the cleanliness of last Tuesdays
election, and that if money was used
in an improper way it was without
their knowledge or consent. Alto
gether, we believe that Delaware has
entered upon an era of better days, but
the full fruit of what has already been
secured in this direction can be pre-
served and increased only by that
eternal vigilance which is the price OF
purity as we'll as of liberty. Whining

Governor elect Hughes represents the
highest type of our citizenship, the
kind of man whom it is the aspiration
of the most thoughtful men to draft
from private to public service, says
the Tribune. AS leader of the bar
he has demonstrated great intellectual
cal acity, and has shown those moral
qualities necessary to make the finest
public servant. He owes his election
to the peoples recognition that he is
the need of the hour. By promise and
performance he stands for the sober,
orderly, non sensational correction of
those abuses about which the vote for
Hearst, despite his character, shows
the intensity of public feeling. s.i

The next House is Republican by
large majority. The senate, taking the
States which elect Senators, will have
a Republican majority of nearly two
thirds. President Roosevelt and his
policy will be supported in both
branches of the National Legislature
by majority strong enough to con-
tinue the reforms begun and extend
the legislation already passed for the
removal of abuses in interstate com
merce. If the majority now secured
is less than that gained in the tidal
wave of two years ago, it is far above
previous majorities. 1t is twice the
majority in 1902, which was 80, and
one-half larger than the plurality OF

Representatives had a majority of
votes over Hervy p. Hall the Demo
cratic nominee. AS was expected,
there were many split tickets and the
independent vote cut larger figure in
Duck Greek Hundred than has pos
sibly ever been the case in the history
of the two parties. This may have
been due largely to the local option
sentiment. DIR. Moore's plurality was
only six in Duck Greek and Little Creek
Hundred. The election was also close in
Blackbird Hundred, W. H. Stats Re-
publican having only six majority.
The Democrats, it is understood, are di-
vided there, number of whom were
opposed to the candidacy of A. j.
Wright. At any event it shows how
closely the parties line up on election
day and this demonstrates the nee
essity of putting a good ticket in the
field and of working for its success.

The election is over aud the Repub-
licans have every season to be proud
of the gains they made. In the Leg
islature they hold a greater majority
than any Legislature since the Re-
publicans have been in power. all
the State and County offices are also
Republican. To be sure the contests
in many districts we're close and a few
votes would have swung the balance
of power but as the old saying goes "a
miss is as good as mile" and the fact
remains that the Republicans made a
clean sweep of everything. Now it is
up to the Republicans to continue Civ
ing the people of the state wise and
economical administration. The sena-
torial question should be disposed OF
the first thing after which the Legis-
lature should get down to business.

United States Senator this time mas

SHEARINC By MACHINERY.
Experience Of One Farmer Proves
That in This Day 1t Is Most
Economical.

| have used a sheep-shearing ma
chine for the past five or six years,
writes a correspondent of the Rural
New Yorker They have been very
much improved In that time. The
first knife, or clippers, that had. very
soon got clogged and did not do good
work on sheep that had fine or oily
wool, or had any wrinkles. The one
] now have, used on the same machine,
will clip any kind of sheep or wool.
Now as to the direct question: Has
the machine any advantage over hand
work? SO long as we had the old
fashioned shearers, who could turn off
30 to 40 sheep a day, we'll sheared, |
had no need of a machine. AS the old
men died off, or were unable to shear
any longer, and because of the scarcity
Of sheep few young men took up
shearing, 1t became problem to know
how to get the sheep well and econom-
lcally sheared. The men who were
unused to 1t not only cut the sheep
and tangled up the wool, but they
would shear only few sheep per day,

who is at all handy soon learns how
to hold sheep, which Is the impor-
tant thing. A careless man can cut
sheep badly with the edge of the clip
pers. but soon sees the danger and
avoids 1t. With the shears the sheep,
In the hands of such man, is covered
with little cuts. find that after
little practice a man will shear a sheep
every 10 or 20 minutes; and their bod
les will be as smooth as a well-clipped
horse. OF course 1t takes another man
to turn the crank, so 1t is not so much
of time saver in the hands of a
novice; but skilled man, or an old
shearer who knows how to handle a
sheep, will average better than a sheep
every ten minutes. The man who
turns can be cheap hand, who could
in no case use the shears. propose
next year to rig a shaft and use my
one and one-half horsepower gasoline
spray engine to urive the machine. 1t
Is not necessary, as some have sup
posed, to use a shears to finish or trim
the legs. The same power, with diff
ferent knife, can be used to clip horses,
or the shearing clippers can be used
on horse-clipping machine. Like all
machinery, they must be looked after
and kept in order.
