TAKINo CARE on THEMSELVES.

HE hremen and the committee that has
4 charge Of the proposed Halloween ceebra-
tion justly indignant over Councils refusal
to make appropriation for the expenses Of
the parade. On the same night the councilmen
voted to pay 500 toward the expenses OF any
member Of Council who desired TO attend fhe
convention OF the American League OF NIuni-
cipaities in Chicago That will take consider
able money nearly all OF the councilmcn de-
cided to make the tsip The junkets Of the
councilmen to these conventions is piece Of
fudge and humbug. The ostensible reason for
the junket is that they learn many things at the
convention which are useful to them in their
duties.
Wen bet big apple that precious little Of the
convention do most of the councmen see If
they obtain such wisdom at these conventions
what in the world do the councilmen do with it?
They never show any evidence in their debera-
tions OF having gained knowledge at such con-
vention or from any other source excepting from
garbage contractors or from Councilman Postes.
The wisdom they get at conventions they must
carry around in their pockets or in satchels We
don't mean to say that there are not learned men
at these conventions and that they do not accom-
plish much good. But the idea of sending nearly
a whole City Council to such convention IS
simply robbery Of the tax payers.

FALSE ACCUSATION.

n HE Every Evening declares that "Dr. Bur-
= ton stands before the people of Delaware
as candidate for reelection TO Congress by vir-
tue of the fact that he has pledged his personal
and political influence to the election of J. Ed
ward Addcks to the United States Senate at the
next session Of the Legislature
This, of course is false as the Every Evening
itself well knows Addcks has no pledge from
Dr. Burton that the latter would support him
for Senator. We do not believe that Addcks has
ever publicly asserted that Dr. Burton would sup
port him (Addicks) for Senator. Besides, if the
Doctor ever did make such promise, which is
highly improbable, he would know that it is OF
no effect, as Addicks has no chance whatever OF
being chosen Senator.
The truth Of the matter is that Addicks imag-
ined that he controlled the Sussex county del
egates to the State convention. This control
proved that they would vote for Mr.. Addicls for
the congressional nomination. They knew well
enough that they were safe in so doing, because
the convention would not have named Mr. Ad-
dicks for Congress OF for any other Office.
When Mr. Addicks attempted to deliver the
Sussex men to some other candidate like Newall
Ball, for instance, he failed.
DR.. Burton, as the outcome showed. really had
the delegates for him for Congress, and therefore
it was not necessary for him to make deal with
AddicSs.

JEROME AS A LEMON.

ONE feature of the Democratic State Con-
~ vcnton of New York, held at Buffalo, is
worth more than passing notice. That is the
collapse of the boom for District Attorney
Jerome For several weeks the Jerome candi-
dacy OF warm air agitated the atmosphere of the
metropolis Jerome burst into the arena like
sky rocket and person would have to hunt dill
gently even to find the Jerome stick when it
struck the ground
b Jerome was backed by the corporations of New
York city who did not wish to see Hearst nom
mated. They picked out Jerome to head off the
aggressive editor Jerome Immediately pro-
ceeded 70 circulate the same sort of warm air
with which he caphvated the people of New
New York and to which he owed his election as
District Attorney
But the people failed to be deceived second
time by him. No voluntary contributions came
pouring in to help the cause OF Jerome in his al
legged attempt to overthrow the bosses. In fact,
Jerome mas become stale.
In the pre-convention gossip even in the organs
that were boosting Jerome but little mention was
made Of him.
The people may be fooled once or twice by the
saihe man. but he cannot hoodwink them contin-
uously Jerome, when he was candidate for
District Attorney of New York, made many
promises. He was going to distribute equal and
exact justice to all Criminals high and low
were to be prosecuted by the gallant District At
torney. How far Jerome has kept his word the
casual reader OF the New York papers can find
out. Jerome utterly failed to make good and
the attempt to revive him as a dashing leader Of
independent thought proved dismal failure.
The New York Democratic Convention meant
the passing Of Jerome. He may kick around and
figure in the wordy war of the coming campaign
but Jerome will probably return to his cigarettes
and his high balls without further moestation
Jerome handed the people a lemon and naturally
they are sour on him.

AN EXCELLENT CANDIDATE.

r SPECIALLY fortunate a,e the Republicans
IL of the Third Senatorial district, which
comprises Brandywne and the upper part OF
Chrstiana hundreds, to have among the candi-
dates for Senator to be voted for at the primaries
next Saturday Edward G. Bradford, Jr He is
in every way well qualified for all the responsible
duties of State Senator, and his election would
be distinct victory for those who are striving to
elevate the standard Of the personnel of the Leg
slature Although of a distinguished family,
Mr. Bradford is not the least aristocratic in his
tendencies and we know of no young man OF
whom the plain people are more fond and for
whom they have more respect He is bright
intelligent, reliable and popular young man, and
his presence in the Senate would be credit to
his district, his State and his party.

Peoples Column
chIIdren On street cars.

Editor The Evening Journal.
Persons having the care of children
riding on street cars should not let
them occupy a seat when they pay no
fare for them. This Is especially true
during the hours when the tired men
and women are returning from their
labors Of the. day. 1t is very cOnsid-
crate Of the railway company to carry
free OF charge children under four
years Of age; but the caretakers Of the
little ones should hold them on their
laps. thus making place for an elder
person. Many women enter the cars
with as many as four or i've children
and perhaps only pay fare for one OF
them. In such instances a great deal
Of room Is occupied that the company
does not receive any consideration for
and a number OF people who have
paid their transportation are incon-
venienced 1t IS well for mothers 10
give their children an outing on the
care in the afternoon, but I believe
that they should ride at such a time
when traffic is not overtaxing the ca
pacity of the care. hope many Of the
mother that read this short note viii
give 1t their consideration. for the
writer is a parent and knows the con-
ditions.

How easy it would be for the people to control
in Delaware politics has been shown on many oc-
casions The delegates to the Republican State
Convention were supreme and could do as they
wished No one no boss, held a whip over
them. The same is true in our county politics
No man is forced off or on ticket lie is given
a free show to secure nomination. 1t is very
different from many other States where states
are made in advance by boss and primary cleo
tions are merely matter of FORM The strength
still resides with the people if they choose to ex-
ercise it. If boss system not by one man, but
by a ring, is fastened upon the people OF Della
ware, it will be simply because they are too in
different to resist it.
