THE REAL REASON.

Tho false pretcnse that the church
was attacked in the recent campaign
gave the stake presidents of this city
and county their opportunity to line
up the Mormon Democratic vote with
the church Republicans. That this pre-
tense Of the church being attacked was
entirely bogus is plain TO every one
having knowledge of the situation.
There was no attack upon the church;
there was no reason why the church
should claim to be on the defensive
nor justification for the stake ecclesiasts
in calling upon the Mormon Democrats
to desert their party and come to tho
rescue Of the church This was all the
merest, shallow fakery.
The real reason why the ecclesiasts
brought their full force to bear and
eliminated the Mormon wing of tho
Democratic party was their fear that
the crooked transactions in the county
Offices for a good many years past
would be exposed, Beginning with the
forgeries on the assessment roll whereby
the Deseret News and q. c, M. |. bcue-
public. right down through the thefts
and jobberies at the county inarmary,
the personal and political manipula-
ton of the road fund for private ad-
vantage and not for public benefit, the
neglect Of everything save only the
interests of tho few in the ring in
county affairs-all these were so rot
ten that the guilty ones, being high
in the church circles, were in deadly
terror of exposure and Of conviction in
the courts for their offcnses.
1t was TO protect these grafters and
jobbers that the church lined up so
solidly in favor Of the church Repub
lican party, This was tho real motive
for the false claim that the church
was attacked, and for the ranging of
the church vote in solid mass. There
is not the least doubt about this, be-
cause that was made a prominent fea-
turc of the campaign, and properly So
Tho Tribune urged these points from
time TO time, and called on the tax"
payers to vote so rs to expose the
rascals and right the wrongs. But
the church, having elected those Job
bers and grafters to Office, thought that
it must sustain them, and, under pre-
tense that the church was attacked, it
came to the rescue of these rascals
and incompetcnts, and won for them
a great victory, at the expense of the
public interests. Of public morality, and
of honest, efficient administration. The
result is to set a premium on forgery,
jobbery and graft.
Never was church so utterly pros
tituted TO the defense of scoundrcllsm
as tho Mormon church was at the re-
cent election. The pretense that the
church was attacked was an absolutely
silly and false one on its face. The
real motive, the underlying controlling
reason why the members of the Nor
mon church were driven into solidity
to the oblitcration Of the Mormon wing
Of the Democratic party, was to pro-
tect thieves, rogues, and incompctents
in public office. That is the plain fact
of the case, and there is no possible
way to dodge it. Tho misguided zeal
OTIS who, at the command of the church
deserted their party ostensibly TO sus-
ers and jobbers to protect themselves
from the public rage, and from the
Just accounting for their thieving and
graft.

THE BASEBALL pREp1cAMENT.

He playing of the Wilmington Club during
4 the last few days has shown that the club,
even made up at present, can do creditable work
on the diamond. This showing should spur to
further efforts those who have been trying to
save the club for this city. 1t is no credit to the
baseball and sport-loving public Of Wilmington
that the Tri-State League should be forced to
take up the club.
We do not believe that the league officials
would throw any obstacle in the way of the re-
organization of the club with local persons in
terested, and we presume the league officials will
give the baseball men here every opportunity to
make good"
The club has sabored under many discourage
ments which are not necessary at this time to
mention. They known by those interested
in the game.
The plans for the reorganization of the
club, we understand, have not proceeded very
far, but there is still time to bring order out OF
the chaos that has enveloped the club.
In some respects the situation is peculiar 1t
is generally admitted that the attendance at the
games in this city, with team making even a
other city in the league. In such event the
owners of the club ought to be able to reap some
reward for their efforts.
AS we have said it seems to us the best plan
would be for the club to be owned by a stock
company, composed OF large number OF per-
sons provided they were willing to center the
management in the hands of a few who could
thus, with a good manager, act in the best in
terests of the game.
Surely there are enough people in this city in
terested in clean sport such as baseball IS, TO
solve the problem that now confronts the VII
mington club.

The Rev. r. NJ Little OF the Belle
vue Presbyterian Church is a friend Of
humanity whose friendship does not
always take the form Of preaching a
strong gospel and painting vividly the
terrors that are to come to evildoers
when present discomfort gets almost
to the exasperating point.
The other day a fellow Presbyterian
minister bemoaned the fact that sum-
mer and irreligion go together. To
lessen as much as may be the ten
dency to carelessness that hot weather
brings, Dr. Little has evolved the plan
Of holding the Sabbath evening SER
vices on the church lawn, which. for
tunately, is sufficiently spacious and
pleasant for such a purpose. But he
does better than that. There Is lem

sip between the singing OF the hymns
and he has told the men that their
prayers will be as good when they are
offered by men in shirt sleeves as in
the coat that fashion has decreed. The

LET THE YOUNG MEN STIR.

HERE is some talk of having an od-time
= 'hurrah campaign" in this State, and if
such campaign should be started it would be
welcohed, especially by the old-timers, who look
upon these days as politically degenerate times
SO far as the buzz and hurrah of the prediction
is concerned.
1t has been a long time since we have had
genuine campaign in Delaware, one that really
up the voters Since those days in this
city and throughout the State, many budding
lawyers have appeared and we think that they
unustly deprived of one of the by-pays of
political and legal life.
Young lawyers in the bygone days were not
supposed to confne their efforts to searching
musty records and titles, but occasionally they
got out on the stump and had a good time, which
often paved the way to fame and fortune legal
practice and honors for them. They were always
cordially greeted, got "send-offs" and flowers and
all that, and their merits or demerts were passed
upon the dement's being usually overlooked
How the Hon. John Biggs and Judge Penne-
will-cited merely as examples of others-shot
into political and legal leadership partly through
their appearance on the stump in campaigns
when the men and the women and the young and
the old delighted to welcome them And those
were times that must have been enjoyed by the
chief actors.
There are to-day just as many young attorneys
as there were twenty years ago who could arouse
the enthusiasm of the voters. Wilmington is full
of them, and they should band together and call
for mass meetings and political play.
If a young lawyer hides his light under
bushel too long it may go out Bar Association
ethics hedge him, but the political campaign fur
nishes him good and legitimate opportunity to
get before the people, and the young attorneys Of
to-day are entitled to the same opportunities that
their elders had.

WHAT BECAME OF
THE POTATO BUGS?

One Of the features Of the summer
is the disappearance Of the potato bug
Few Of the bugs were seen this spring,
but about three weeks aEo farmers in
New Castle county noticed when going
through their potato patches, that some
of the vines were half eaten by young
bugs. which. in some instances, were
so plentiful as to almost cover the
vines. Preparations were made to use
Paris green or London purple, but two
or three days later it was discovered
that all the bugs had disappeared.
Not one has been seen since and it
requires an extended search to reveal
a single representative Of these species.
II has been apparent for several years
that the potato beetle. which at one
time was ninirOrous and destructive was
dying out. The sudden disappearance
of the pest this summer is as yet un-
accounted for. and is causing consider
able comment among agriculturists.

Hard Times and Health.

New York Life.
Curious and interesting to recount,
there is reason to believe that hard
times are healthful. Less sickness
than usual Is reported from the East
Side Of New York. Our Health De-
partment reports an unusually low
death rate and like reports come from
other cities The sale Of drugs and
medicines has fallen off. The business
of the doctors is not especially good
and trade is slack among the undeE-
takers. This state of things may be
partly due to pure food laws. and
partly to the prevalence Of more
wholesome varieties of weather than
usually obtain.
Odd to cay, though. there are sta
tistics on the books that indicate that
hard times and health usually go to-
gether. and that the death rate rise
with increased prosperity While this
is so. it is not so incomprehensible as
at first sight It may seem. Easy money
means self-indulgence. and self indul-
gence among the mass OF the popula-
ton means more to eat, more to drink
more iunketing, hazardous pleasures
and general breaking out Of the rou-
tine. 1t is only a small proportion OF
the population, after all, that can take
its pleasure wisely and make its diver
sions and enlargements truly recrea-
tive and helpful to health. Where
means are not restricted and all ordi-
nary luxuries can be had for the ask
ing, II is one of the finer arts Of civili-
zation to eat and to drink not more
than one needs and so TO adjust work
and play that the one may be effectual
and the other may conserve energy in
stead Of exhaustlng It,

TAFT AND ROOSEVELT.

HERE is some criticism among the oppon-
ents of President Roosevelt because Can
didate ait has gone to Oyster Bay to see the
President To please these critics Taft shouId
stay away from the President. They revive the
story that some people consider Taft as the mere
echo Of the President, and that this view is hurt
ing Taft. However, Taft has shown sufficient in
dividuaity since his nomination to prove that as
president he would be his own master But why
should not Taft consult that adrot political lead
er, Colonel Roosevelt? Surely Taft wants all the

advice he can get, and no one is more capable of
giving it than the President.
The political battle-ground is to be in the mid
die and far West Reports to the Conservative"
organs from those regions say that the voters
there are watching to if Taft will become a
.reactonary.' Should Taft become reaction
ary,' the New York Suns Iowa correspondent
declares that the State would be in political peril
Such criticisms of Taft are likely to continue
as the campaign goes on Why should Taft be
by what the "reactionaries" and conservatives"
may say? Roosevelt had them out of business
when Bryan nominated They despise Bryan
and they hate Roosevelt They will not vote for
Bryan and the only thing left for them to do is
to support Taft. The conservatives" are tied

If Bryan carries every state he car

Gratis have no chance to carry this

Tidal Wave for Bryan to Win.


Boston Herald.
II is said that the West is radical,
which is true. But twice the Middle
West has been asked TO approve Bryan
and twice 1t has said by decisive ma
jorities that the radicalism of Bryan
was not the radicalism of the majori-
ties in that Section Of the country.
What reason is there to suppose that
a tidal wave Of protest against Repub-
lican administration has been forming
in these States during the past four
years, awaiting the candidacy Of Bryan
to sweep away enormous Republican
majorities of the past? Nothing less
than a tidal wave can accomplish that
result The figures are proof of that
The progress Of the campaign alone
can determine whether or not such a
wave is possible.
