WHO WILL BE THE MAN1

nj OF indeed in many day has opportun-
~ ity presented itself to a strong or even
an ordinarily capable man to show of what stuff
he is made, as that now offered at sScver. In
some respects we have a Legislature which prom
ises to be peculiar During the campaign it be-
came known that certain private interests were
fixing up the legislative candidates in both par
ties. People were thinking about economic ques-
tons, and the subject Of a fair and square deal
and a system of equitable taxation were under
consideration. Always alert to their own inter-
ests, and Delaware being a small State, powerful
leaders in both parties endeavored to get upon
the legislative ticket men friendly to special in
terests, it, indeed, not actual agents and employees
Of those interests How well they succeeded
by reason of the apathy of the people the per-
sonnet of the Legislature shows only too well
The special interests are very largely represent
ed. They seem to be in terror that something
may happen to them. They are aboring with
guilty conscience. But, however dark the out
look may be for the people, it is not to be be-
eved that some of the members will fail to be
on guard to champion the cause of the community
at large against the rapacity and greed of pri-
yate interests To be sure, no one has yet come
forward to lead the way. The Governors mes
sage was not illuminating, and it made not the
least effort TO blaze the way of the people do
the messages Of Governors Hughes, Of New
York, and Stokes, Of New Jersey. The appoint
ment of the Senate committees however,
clearing of matters and we know what to ex-
pect. We repeat that there never was more
favorable opportunity for a good man, able, clever
and fearless, to render his State great service,
and make for himself wonderful reputation,
than presents itself now IN the Delaware Legis-
ature.

worked hard to serve our people at
Washington, and has entered and ex-
plored every avenue that could possibly
lead to their interests, and we are not
afraid to state here that he is entitled
to decent treatment from the press Of
the State. So long as irresponsible and
half-drunken men are permitted to edit
newspapers and foui better men, so
long some newspaper or individual will
always take the stand for better and
more reputable living. II can be de-
pended on that there win always be a
healthy aggressive public sentiment
against newspaper thugs and highway

drive it home.

Morning News November "a
When the agreement was reached carly
in the summer to call upon Governor Lea
TO summon the General Assembly in spe-
clal session, for the purpose Of eleeting a
United States senator the clear under
standing was that, in the event Of such
an election being brought about New Cas-
Tie county Republicans would not seek to
name the senator to be chosen next Janu-
airy. This was the basis Of the special
session. The members OF the General AS
sembly from Kent and Sussex count es
agreed to the plan and with the clear pro-
vision that Colonel dupont should be
named. They kept faith and the work Of
the special session was done quickly and
without any unnecessary delay. Then the
vacant seat in the United States Senate
was flled-that is man was named for

FIFTH MoNrH-FIFrH VICTIM.

70 USSIAN terrorists again have done their
~ deadly work. This time the prosecutor
who has sent many a man to his death in Russia
was himself the victim of the assassin's bullet
Another dark crime is added to the history of
Russia The Russian general it was known had
been marked for the wrath of the terrorists, who
manage to carry out their plots of murder de-
spite the vigilance of the police This assassi-
nation. as does the explosion of a bomb in the
Fourth Street National Bank, Philadelphia,
shows how after all, the power OF the police TO
prevent murder is limited. The Russian terror
lists consider they are at war with the govern
ment, fighting battle against tyranny. Hence
they do not regard their crimes as murder, and
the work OF the authorities is thus rendered
more difficult The Russian officials, however,
may learn that the people must have voice in
their own government or else they resort to as
sassination, powerful weapon, that is always
in their hands Assassination, however, is not
the way to win contest for right and justice.

And all the world is lookin fresh an

And all the world is sweet and clean,
and jasemine blooms we're white
And nodded to each other, when |
kissed my love good night.
Take blossoms as you find 'em all
the wide, wide world around,
The splendid rhododendron that
grows up by Puget sound,
Our own magnolias that hang cup
big from every tree,
Or roses red, the jasmine is the only
bloom for me.
An Engllshman may pine to sit be-
meath the hawthorne bush
When springtime touches its first
buds, and Its first blossoms
blush;
But just Jasmine bloom for me
with hooking bird perched near,
There's music, beauty and perfume
the whole enduring year.
And Just last night stood with her
where live oak branches reach,
And where hooking bird sang loud
and each OF us TO each
Was all the world, and jasmine
blooms were big and pure and
white,
And noddea to each other when
kissed my love goodnight.

WHO'S wATTERsoN's MAN?

From the Houston Chronicle we
clip the following very interesting
item regarding the position Of Mr..
Watterson on the coming candidate
OF the Democratic party for the nom
lnation for president In 1908:
From a correspondent in Wash
lngton the Chronicle has received
the following:
Everybody loves "Marse" Henry
Watterson. He calls himself a Dom
ocrat, but his work has done much
for the Republican party. He
breaches tariff reform, and helps
the party OF protection to stay in
power Democrats having political
memory regret that inqatter years
Colonel Wattefson should have drift
cd away from progressive democracy
He holds, OF course, that democracy
mas drlrted' away from him very
much as the man III the middle of
the regiment marthlnggh line across
the parade ground. complains that
ne was In step, but the other 500
marchers were out OF step. Colonel
Watterson, whose brllllancy we adj
mire, seems TO be one OF the few
men out OF step with his party since
1895. Yet his personality is so ami
able, his past service so admirable
that no one In the Democratic party
has It in his heart to say word
Of criticism though It Is possible to
address a word of inquiry.
In the Louisville Courier Journal,
which Colonel Watterson has edited
with great ability for many years,
appeared on Wednesday an editorial,
tho subject OF which II may be worth
while quoting He says that 1t has
boen frequently given out that Mr..
Bryan does not want the nomination
next year. Mr.. Watterson Is prob
ably correct in that statement. but
there are people who want Mr.. Bcy-
an to take the nomination that the
editor OF the Courler-Journal did not
suggest, and he does not seem to be
one OF them. He goes on to say that
II the Nebraskan wishes to play
Warwick he (Watterson) "cpn tell
him Of a Democrat who, wlthou. en-
tangllng alliances with. say, OF sEe
money powers" is yet without any
antecedents which could drive away
conservative Democrats" Watterson
asserts that the man whom he has
in his mind supported the ticket In
1896.
Mr.. Watterson didn't support the
Democratic ticket in 1895, nor was
he very enthusiastic In 1900. Pos
sibly for these reasons the Democrat
ic party may be dlsincllned to &C.
eept his judgment as TO the indlvid-
ual he has In mind. He says that
the man does not live east OF the AL
leghanies nor south OF the Potomac
and ohio rivers"

MISUNDERSTANDING FACTS.

Mr. Zimmerman, OF the Texas
Realty g. immigration Co., informs
the Daily Panhandle that he has re-
celyed letters from land owners in
the Panhandle, residing at Kansas
City, and also at other points, stat
ing that they had received letters
from citizen Of Washburn. stating
that the wheat crop in that section
of the country was killed, and was
an entire failure.
This is an ignorant OF malicious
mlsstatement OF the real facts. 1t
is supposed that the citizen In ques-
ton is disgruntled over the passage
OF the bill permitting the removal
Of the tracks OF the Santa Fe from
Panhandle to Washburn, and is try
ing to make land owners in that To-
cality who reside abroad and do not
know the facts, dissatisfied with
their holdings in that locality.
Facts are that the wheat in that
section Is doing we'll, as II is In all
this immediate vicinity and there is
no cause or foundation for any such
malicious and misleading statements.
There is no room for such disgruntled
knockers In the Panhandle. II they
don't like the country, all they have
got to do is offer their holdings at
a reasonable figure and they can
sell them. and remove toba locality,

The manager has, however, already
