BONDING OF OFFICIALS.

A s A result of the defalcation of Horace G.
4 y Rettew, some well-known men who be-
friended him have been required to pay large
sum of money to the county. This payment
should cause consideration OF the present
method of bonding county officials. 1t has been
stated that under the law only private bondsmen
can be accepted. Therefore, under the law, a
man holding an important position must impor-
tune his friends to go upon his bond. Alter the
experience of Senator DUPONT Mr.. Elliott and
the others in thus being heavily mulcted Tor be-
coming bondsmen, we should fancy that 1t VIII
be more difficult than ever for officials to secure
private bondsmen.
Before the era Of bonding companies the prac-
tice al securing private bondsmen was necessary.
No other way was available. But IN this day
there private and responsible bonding COM
panies which make a speciality of furnishing such
security.
The law ought to be changed at once to permit
the bonding Of officials by these companies The
cost Of this bonding should be paid either by the
county or by the men holding the offices.
1t is highly unjust, because it is unnecessary,
that the fortunes of private citizens should be
imperiled by the practice OF private bonding
Here was man. Rettew, who stood high in the
community held political offices and was gener-
ally respected. His bondsmen, of course, never
for a moment believed that he would become an
embezzler and they had no hesitation in acting
his surety. And yet even the most unexpected
things sometimes happen.
While this method Of bonding should be
changed, the method OF keeping accounts of the
county ought to be revisedlso that it will be inn
possible for a county officer to manipulate the
funds for so long a period as Rettew did, with
ont detection That is another injustice that has
been worked upon the bondsmen of Rettew. They
had reason to believe that it would be practically
impossible for funds to be embezzled during so
long a period without the shortage being discov-
cred.
We have now a practical illustration of the
havoc that has been Worked, and some change
should be made so that citizens shall no longer
be subjected to the uncertainty of having holes
knocked in their fortunes by persons they be-
friend.

ATTACK ON THE COURTS"

THE Roosevelt assault on the courts" shot
Il fired by the "big guns" of New York does
not seem to have hit anyone. At least the am
bulance has not been rung up and the surgeons
have not pulled out their knives and bandages to
treat the wounded or dying.
In fact, the hrers Of the shot, including Presi-
dent Butler, of Columbia University do not seem
to be much pleased with their aim. People are
disposed to laugh at them.
The shot was fired in New York and echoed in
Wilmington and other cities by the little fellows
who crook their weak knees in humble obedience
TO every utterance of the supposed big guns
1t was proposed to have the Republican Ma
tional Convention express in its platform its con-
fdence in the integrity Of the courts and the judi
cia system.
OF course the real purpose of this memorial is
to slap President Roosevelt and Taft-to appeal
to the convention to condemn by implication the
President. The 'memorialists think or profess to
think, that the President has "assailed the
courts" They fancy that we are in state bor-
dering on anarchy, so that it is necessary for the
national convention of a great party to declare
that the party believes in courts and laws.
Could anything be more insulting to the Presi-
dent and the probable next president or to the
American people than this insinuation that they
are anarchists" with no respect for the instihI-
tons of their country? The only patriotism,
cording to these memoriasts, must reside in the
heart of wealthy corporation lawyer.

BY THE WAYSIDE

The Rev. DIR. w. +. d. Lewis, pastor OF
Rodney Street Presbyterian Church, is
well known among the local clergy as
a wit. One of Dr. Lewis most telling
sallies was made during a session OF
the conference recently neld in Grace
NJ. r. Church under the auspices of the
National Reform Association. A dis
cussion had arisen of the baneful IN.
fiuence of foreigners on the Sabbath
observation. and DIR. Lewis, who is a
Welshman. was obliged to admit that
his forefathers had not landed at
Plymouth Rock. "Ths Pilgrims We're
a hardy hand. nevertheless" he re
marked. when they landed at
Plymouth Rock they Immediately fen

honor them. And 1 have always OBJ

their knees they straightway fell upon

which occurred in Poplar street near

was Of the bull dog species and tbs
other contestant being of the mongrei
breed.
For fully ten minutes the CANNES
wrangled in the street. all efforts on
the part OF bystanders to separate them
being unavailing. Brooms, stricks and
stones hurled at the fighters failed to
shake the bulls hold on the under
dog and he did not let go until he
had almost killed his opponent. After
the bull had ceased fighting he started
up Eighth street snarling and yelping
as he ran. The victor got as far as
Eighth and King streets when he ran
afoul of a trolley car. the result being
that he was ground TO pieces. The

ary of $4,000 annually, proved to be an automobile
faddist He has been arrS<ed on a general Sus-

probable, than a man with yearly income of not
more than $1,000 may own a motor machine with
