THE LIGHT AND WATER COMMISSION

The following inquiry and com.
ment has been sent to THE TRAN,
SCRIPT:
To The EDITOR Can yon inform g
subscriber why the Light and Water Com.
missioners do not comply With the law
and appoint a member TO fill out the un-
expired term OF our new Postmaster, Mr..
John A. Jolls, whom | am informed has
resigned his position as member of that
body? think that the law should be
followed and the Town have the services
of a full set of Commissioners, and incl
dentally, some other citizen participate
in the free light and water served to the
members Of that august body"
Without considering the ironi-
cal criticism of our correspond
ent about the free light and
water, We agree with him in the
thought that the Board of Light
and Water Commissioners should
obey the law and fill the vacancy.
The law is mandatory. In Sec
tion 2 of the Act creating that
body, being Chapter 745, Volume
19, Laws of Delaware, after re-
citing how the Commissioners
named therein shall determine
the allotment of terms, and that
:
their successors shall be elected
for a period of five years on the
first Monday in May of each year.
This further provision is made:
''And if a vacancy shall occur
before the next annual election,
by death, resignation, removal
or otherwise, said vacancy shall
be filed by the remaining COM
missioners until the next annual
election, when the term or terms
of such commissioners shall be
filed by an election in the same
manner, and at The same Tune, as
provided for the election Of a
member for five years. .
While it is true that less than
three months now intervene be-
fore the next election, the prin-
ciple holds good that the vacancy
should be filed. It is possible
that one or moreof the remaining
four members might die or re-
sign before the first Monday in
May. We hope not, but it is the
unforeseen that happens. It is
even possible that three of the
commissionerships might become
vacantin one night, and the town
be left with a board Of less than
quorum Even now, u the ab-
senee of Mr.. Shepherd. who IL

HARMONY TALK

1t is now nearly six months
since the two Republican State
Committees appointed sub COM
mittees who were expected to
frame a suitable and fair agree
ment for a compromise that
would result in one ticket, one
organization and one party in
the State and all three counties.
It was then and is now, consid-
cred that Mr.. Addicks as Sen
atorial possibility was eliminated
and therefore there was and is
no reasonable cause for further
continuing the fight. Despite
fair start No progress has been
made. No proposition has been
offered by either committee.
True, there has been some news
paper talk, or hot air, but nc
one in authority has spoken. The
campaign of 1906 is about to open.
To-day the Republican County
Committee of this county will hold
its first meeting. 1t seems to US
that now is the time to act.
There is no question among
those who are daily brought in
contact with the men who do the
voting, that there is a universal
desire that the party get together
and present a solid front to the
enemy. At no time in the his
tory Of Delaware, has the need of
the state for the kind of gov
ernment promised and secured
by the Republican Party been
greater. The Democrats are di-
vided, not only as to men, but as
to measures. Some believe in
one kind of Democracy, some in
another, and many of them have
no belief except Democracy of
any old kind. These facts being
true, and the further fact of Mr..
Addicks' elimination being con-
ceded, there is every reason that
the wishes and desires of the
voters should not only be consid-
cred, but granted, and at once.
It is due to the rank and file that
those who aspire to leadership
should not waste any more time.
There is no time to waste.
Enough consideration has, or
should have been given to this
matter. Gentlemen, get together.
Since the above was written,
Senator Alice, Chairman 'of the
Union Republican Sub Commit.
tee on harmony, has given out a
letter written by him to ex-Sen-
ator Ball, Chairman of the Re-
publican Committee, requesting
a conference, and a desire for
peace and harmony. This is a
start, and as DR.. Ball announces
that a meeting will be held
shortly, we hope to see some
thing done or doing.

VESSEL MAY HAVE
CONE DOWN.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 26.-A nlaratime
puzzle that may be the result of an
ocean tragedy came ashore near Cape
Hatteras today in the shape of more
than 400 life preservers.
Between Hatteras and Big Kinnakitt
the beach is strewn with cork jackets.
Some are marked -'Casw.tz. Rettuny
Syurcer c. r. P. No. 1891" Others
are stamped '-Sealanan." Two bear the
name 'Smeskf" Three miles north of
Big Kinnakitt part OF q white yawl
boat and a fragment of boats gun
vale washed ashore. There are no
marks on this wreokage.
BECAUSE all the life preservers and
the pieces of wreckage came upon the
beach within such limited area ship
ping men here are of the opinion that
whatever the cause may be it occurred
not far from the coast and that il
there is a wreck 1t was probably that
of a passenger vessel. Search among
the marine records has failed TO reveal
any names that correspond with those
on the life preservers. 1t is probable
a revenue cutter will be sent to search
off Hatteras for further clews.

change of wind saved her.
From that time on there was more

hands forward were under the infu
ence of liquor, some of the men at

him along the deck by the lee scuppers.
The men were about to heave the man

rushed from the cabin. attracted by
cries for help, rescued the man.
After that Captain Roach sat for
thirty-six hours at the cabin door with
loaded revolver in his hand and
threatened to kill the next man who at

occasional threats of the rfngleaders
to murder all the officers and coca
