ROUT OF THE "ALLIES."

IT HE "Allies." so-caed, that is, the opposition
Il in the Republican party TO President
Roosevelt and those who support him, are in A
pitiable condition. Their campaign OF bluff and
bluster has failed Their shrieks and their threats
have alike proved unavailing. According to the
press dispatches from Chicago, they have pract-
cally thrown up the sponge and conceded the
nomination of Taft
The campaign. indeed. has been remarkable
When Roosevelt offended some of the captains OF
industry in New York they opened war upon
him and started to fight him with all the means
that money and influence could command They
went to the extent Of creating an artificial panic
and financial furry in the hope that the President
would be discredited. They brought about the
disturbance, but they did not discredit the Presi-
dent
Then they started to put Roosevelt out Of
politics, >and with Foraker as their champion,
they conducted vigorous campaign Again they
failed. Foraker was forced to sue for peace.
They put forward many candidates for the pres-
Dental nomination. and they combined their
forces But the election Of delegates showed that
the people favored Secretary TAFT for the nomina-
tion although they really favored the renomina-
ton OF Roosevelt.
Then the "Alesp said that there were enough
contested delegates TO the Chicago convention to
defeat Taft, for they were sure that they con-
trolled the national committee, and would be able
to decide the preliminary contests against Taft.
Battled again, the Allies are now IN state OF
abject submission AS their organ this morning
puts it, Cool heads and political wise ones show
the folly Of kicking against Hitchcock and his
master"
The "Allies" determined that they should write
the resolution of the convention. Now they are
doubtful on that point. The "Allies" give various
reasons for their defeat but the real reason is self
evident. They have been defeated and Taft and
Roosevelt have been supported simply because
the mass of the Republicans and the great maj or
ity of the people Of this country uphold Roose-
welt and the policies he stands for.

strictly conservative but some politicians in
Iowa thought that he had been in the Senate long
enough and should make way for a younger man.
The fight in Iowa, therefore, took a personal
turn. 1t contest enveloped in sentiment.
The question was whether Mr.. Allison who has
for years been one of the foremost senators of the
country, and who has rendered great service to
his State and his party should be put the shelf
The struggle, therefore, waged around the per-
sonality of Mr.. Allison, and he Other men
who have served their States long and we'll have
won for the same reason. 1t would have been inn
possbles to have routed Senator Morgan. of Ala
bama, from his seat in the Senate so long as he
lived
In the Georgia fight there were complications.
Governor Hoke Smith may have represented the
so-called radicals, but on the other hand he was
opposed by many of the Bryan men and the
Bryan newspapers in the State.
Admitting all this, it is true that the pendulum
will probably swing backward. The people now
are chiefly concerned in the resumption of busi-
ness and in settling down to work But this does
not mean return to old conditions that all that
has been accomplished by the agitation will be
lost Permanent advancement is not made by
leaps and bounds. We take two steps forward
and one step backward, but we are going forward
all the while.

OLD DRAWERS CELEBRATION.

THE annual gathering of the friends OF Old
4 Drawers Presbyterian Church took
place Yesterday and brought together large as
semblage OF interested persons. 1t was hne day
for the celebration and the event was happy
one.
Old Drawers is historic church In its yards
rest the remains of many of those who in their
dav were among the foremost citizens OF lower
and middle New Castle county. They rest from
their labors, but their works do follow them. And
their works are the progress and development OF
New Castle county Indeed it would be diffcuH
10 see anywhere finer rural region than the ter
ritorv surrounding Old Drawers Church.
The Old Drawers Association, however, has
very prictica turn. Its purpose is to pre-
serve the historic church and its surround
ings. 1t was formed TO rescue Old Drawers IRON
the decay and neglect that mark so many rural
churches in whose shadows are buried the re-
mains of bygone generations, families that often
leave few descendants, or whose descendants are
scattered to far distant points. AS the result OF
the efforts of the association, Old Drawers
Church itself presents fine appearance, and the
cemetery is as we'll kept and presentable as the
best gardens.
There are some similar old churches and oeme-
teries in Delaware of which the same cannot be
said A lesson should be learned from OLD
Drawers and its friends.

Opinion
Drinking Women.


Atchison Globe.
A New York despatch makes the
statement upon the authority Of a
restaurant proprietor that women are
drinking more than they used TO, and
that more women are drinking. This
constitutes a somewhat serious charge
against womanlSind, particularly those
who patronize New York restaurants,
If it is true. But II probably isn't
true.
It is possible that in one New York
restaurant more women drink than
formerly. but it certainly isn't true Of
the country at large. It has been said
that a good many New York women
are acquiring the cigarette habit, and
Il is doubtless true that some of them
do smoke. But, even at this distance,
can't you mako a pretty good guess at
the kind that have taken up the to-
bacco habit? Silly. idle, frivolous
creatures they are. no doubt Who
might as well bo smoking for all the
good they are likely to do the world,
present or future. And It is about the
same class Of femininity that is drink
ing more. If there really is an increase
in liquor consumption among women.
The world is getting better instead OF
worse, and the women are getting bet
ter with It; are helping greatly in the
progress. in fact. 1t IS not strange
that the croakers who believe every
thing IS going to the bad have included
women in their list, but their fears in
this respect are as ungrounded as in
most others. We are willing to ad-
nit that New York is wickeder than
the rest of the counSsy. since the
metropolis insists upon the distinction;
but just the same there are lot Of
good people in New York, and most of
them are women

SWING OF THE PENDULUM.

IN THE primary elections recently held in
u Georgia and in Iowa, some critics profess TO
see signs of a reaction against what they term
radical" legislation The public they contend,
are becoming weary OF agitation and are ready for
a change. The pendulum is said TO be swinging
back. and the people want to settle down to busi-
ness. 1t is doubtful, though, how far this esti-
mate is correct when applied TO the two States in
question.
If the situation in Iowa is examined, many
causes will be found contributing to the result.

THEY BITE SOME.

Log drivers working on the Big and
Little Eau Pleine rivers and on the
Wisconsin river south of Mosinee say
that they never saw mosquitoes as
plentiful as they are at present and
they make life miserable for any living
thing upon which they light The fire.
quent showers aud warm days have
brought them out in swarms. Many of
the log drivers have adopted the
scheme of wearing mosquito bar hoods
over their hats. One of them informed
us that at present half their diet is
mosquitoes. He says, "When we open
ourmouths to take bite of victuals, a
cloud of mosquitoes fly into our lunch
receptacles and of course we mince
them up with our food and swallow
them" ct night cloud of smoke can
be seen for miles, rising from the
hundred or more smudges about the
log drivers camp, and all of them have
smoky Indian smell about their
clothing. Fishermen who visit short
portage and other points down the
river tell some loud stories about the
ferociousness of this insect.

A LIVE WIRE.

Yesterday noon an electric wire be-
longing to the street railway company
was burned through and dropped in
front of the Pfeiffer & Klecker meat
market. Chas. Pfeiffer went out onto
the street and guarded teams against it
while the company's electricians were
on the way. Every team which came
along was stopped and turned down
another street. Finally driver for the
Barker & Stewart Lumber company
came along and evidently thought Mr.
Pfeiffer's warning was joke. He
drove over the wire with the result
that both horses were thrown to their
knees. They scrambled to their feet
and jumped across the wire. The
driver being seated on wood, which is
non-conductor, did not feel the shock.
At the time the horses feet touched
the wire blue flame shot out from
their shoes and most by-standers
thought that they would be electro
cuted.
