Mr.. ARTERS REPLIES
TO Mr.. DAVIS

The following letter was issued today:
Wilmington, Del, oct. /, 1908.
Mr.. Frank II. Davis,
Dover, Del.
Dear Mr.. Davis:-Permit me TO reply
to your open letter published in cer-
tain Wilmington newspapers on Tues
day last and calling public attention
to my failure TO request from you a
statement of your attitude as a can
didate for Attorney General toward the
enforcement of the prohibition and elec-
tion laws Of the State of Delaware.
Your letter is opportune, because it
affords me a chance to make clear
the position of the Anti Saloon League.
which / represent. i'm such cases as
yours. The League is always entirely
nom partisan. and deals wit hall can
didates for Office alike when the cir
cumstances surrounding their candi-
dacy permit of such action. But in
your case. the circumstances contri-
buting TO your nomination we're so
openly at variance with the interests
Of the League. that IL has never SEEM
ed wise to ask you for a statement of
your position. which If favorable could
not possibly be harmonized with facts
already i'm our possession.
The League does not want TO be plac-
ed in position where IT must accept
an answer which it solicits, unless that
answer be consistent with all the con-
ditions as beforehand known. So on
this account. we did not write TO you
trust this letter will satisfy the sit
uation so far as the League and its
agents are concerned, and because your
letter is public property. I take the lib
erty TO give mine similar publicity.
Your very truly,
John NJ Arters.
District Superintendent
BY authority OF state Headquarters

Editor Advertiser: Kindly permit
me through your columns to express
my sympathy with Senior Canavarro

Great Britain will render all assistance

think, it was in 1925, when Parliament
was not sitting the British Premier
dispatched 5000 British troops to assist
in putting down revolution. Later
he was attacked in the House for do
ing so but defended himself by quoting
the ancient treaty between England
Charles II. married Catherine of Bra
ganza and by the terms of which treaty
England is bound to protect Portugal
as if she were one of her own colonies
Quoting from my grandfather bio
graphy which is in my possession he
wrote: He shortly after received his
commission as lieutenant and was APP
pointed to the Monarch "a, which
ship formed part of the squadron de-
tached from before Lisbon by Sir Sgd
ney Smith to accompany the Prince
Regent of Portugal, his family, and
court to Brazil when the House of
Braganza alarmed by measures of the
Emperor Napoleon resolved on aban-
doning their European dominions and

The mass was sung to Gregorian

by Father Valentin. These included
the Dies Irae, solo and choir, abide

this latter is by A. H. Rosewig. and
the words by the Sisters of Notre |

statements at the Supervisors meet
ing that the to-be-created department
would need a new collector, but could
get along without a bookkeeper.
DEPARTMENTS MUST WORK

AS a matter of fact it will multiply
expenses very greatly to make any
such a move as seems to be contem-
plated. At present the work stock OF
both departments are kept together.
looked after by the same stablemen,
guarded at night by the one watch
man, the blacksmith work done by the
one blacksmith, the accounts kept in
the one office and at times of neces-
sfty the horses and carts of the road
department are used for garbage work
and vice versa. To divide the depart
ments necessitates a practical doubling
of stablemen, watchmen, blacksmiths
office room. Office staff and repairers.
The two departments cannot use the
same apparatus nor quarters without
friction and consequent loss in eff
cheney.
During such occasions as threatened
plague outbreaks and other scares,
when the Board of Health issues an
emergency call for help, the whole
forces of the road department can be
united with the garbage department
without confusion and without delay.
Such things have happened.
POLITICAL MOVEMENT ENTIRELY
Altogether there are no good reasons
for the passing of any such resolution
as Fern presented on Wednesday night
and plenty of good reasons why 1t
should be voted down. Political expe-
diency alone, inconsiderate of the fact
that the taxpayer will suffer, seems
to be behind the resolution. Rumor
states that William K. Rathburn,
Achis henchman, who was fired from
the police department for inconpe-
tency, is the one for whom the position
is to be created. Achi is the man pull
ing the strings for his dummies and
Harvey and Fern are his tools, just
as the Advertiser stated some months
ago when this same matter was being
Matched and Jimmy Boyd was the fav-
ored one.
In the coming election all the Super
visors must run at large, consequently
the Kakaako vote must be consolidated
and fixed Rathburn and the gang he
will gather around him will do the
organizing and the fixing and will also
put in their time among the road de-
partment men. Politics will take the
place of the businesslike activity of
both departments and the public will
pay the bills of the politicians and also
suffer from work undone.
Rathburn was fired from one county
department because he could not earn
honestly ninety dollars month. Now
it is proposed to give him responsible
county job with a salary of 1925 a
month. And the hopes of the gang is
that there will be no bookkeeper and
no books for the County Auditor to
check I'D.
The machine will run Achi for mayor
or put that undesirable into a position
of power that will give him a swing
at the swag and where he can infiu
ence the choice of the candidates on
both political tickets. In this matter
there is no Republican party, no
Democrat party, and no Home Rule,
but a plain case of a coalition among
the salary grabbers for reasons best
known to themselves but surmisable
