From What Point of View.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The good editor of the Sunday Star
takes quite kindly to the suggestion
that a workingman of union affiliations
might possibly represent this State in
Congress with credit But he has that
same Srouble about the mischiefmalSers.
Now in my mind it depends from what
point of view one looks at a person or
question if 1t is mischievous or nrt.
No doubt the British thought Patrick
Henry was a mischefmaker when Re
made his famous "Give me liberty or
give me death" speech, and also that
Thomas Jefferson was another mis-
chiefmaker when he wrote the Declara-
ton of independence. To the South
ern point of view William Lloyd Gar
rison. Harriet Beecher Stowe. Henry
Ward Beecher and others were in the
class of mischiefmalxers and would no
coubt be called bug house" Mis-
chiefmakers are those who don't be-
lieve in letting well enough alone, but
are progressive in thought and action.
Out in Iowa Governor Cummins is
considered a mischiefmaker by the
stand-patters. So is tho Senator from
WlhconSlus La IOllelte. AnOtner mis-
chiefmaker is Senator Joseph Benson
Foraker, at least sumo gentlemen
think so. Joseph l.. Bristow was an
other mischiefmaker whou he discover
ed the graft in the postoffice depart
ment.
Even our own esteemed President
Roosevelt, according to Wall street,
was a mischiefnialSer. But what is
the use. This catalog would take up
too much of your paper to undertake.
a complete list OF bug house" and
mischiefmalxing men. History is full
Of them, and Mr.. Dorney is in very
good company, for the Star has in
oluded him in this list Mr. Dorr,ey
may not be nominated by the Demo-
Gratis. but il is up t. the Democrats
TO nominate a man who will stand
squarely on the Denver platform Nc
trimmers; no one who gives his jobs
out to cheap labor. should be nomi-
mated. and IL nominated the labor
unions reserve the right to reject him
at the polls. The labor union policy
is TO live and let live.

CAN HANG FOR BIGAMY
COMMITTED IN MARYLAND

BALTIMORE. Aug. 1a-In preparing
the case against an accused bigamist
awaiting trial here. Deputy States At
torney Raymond Williams has dis
covered that an old law, dating back
to the English law OF 1904 and trans
ferred therefrom to the code of this
State, makes death the penalty. with
out alternative. for the crime of big
amy, and so far as he can learn this
old law is still in force.
The same law provides that the ac-
cused. If he returns. 30 ihe jurisdiction
in which his legal wife resides, may
be there put on trial and that he need
not be returned for trial TO the juris-
diction wherein the bigamous marriage
was contracted. The latter phase OF
the old law has been declared in force
by the Maryland Court of Appeals.

Leaving a trail OF gold behind him in Column
bus Ohio, hotel, a new "Scotty" has just been
operating in the person OF an elevator boy, who
suddenly obtained considerable wealth. The
mysterious youth registered simply as "Mr. Ed
wards, Columbus" and then began to scatter his
coin like good fellow" illustrating the old
adage that a fool and his money are soon parted.
He occupied the best suite of rooms in the house,
gave all the bell boys, who were his former fellow
workers, money by the bag full, took them on
automobile rides and did other "stunts, much to
the amusement of the onlookers. He had $1,000
on deposit with the clerks of the hotel, and spent
at the rate of $500 day One might have inn
agned that he was a miniature Sultan of Turkey,
whose expenses are more than $1,000 day. The
source of the young Scotty's wealth has not been
discovered. One OF the onlookers summoned up
nerve sufficient to ask him where he got it all,
and he replied in a whisper Gold mines He
must have struck gold mines different from most
of those in which Delaware folk invested their
coin several years ago.

CITIZENS AS MUD DIGGERs.

a CONSIDERABLE number Of the good
4 = citizens OF Baltimore, Dagsboro and In
dian river hundreds, in Sussex county, responded
10 the call for volunteers who went armed with
shovels and scoops for the purpose OF digging
out the channel and connecting the river with the
bay. From the fact that camp meetings are on
that politics is buzzing and there are few
peaches to harvest, we think that the time for
the mud digging was rather inopportune.
However, the call for volunteers and the deter
mnation OF citizens to dig out the mud and make
the improvement shows commendable spirit on
the part OF the neghbors of the hundreds The
government should have done this work long
ago.
The occasion, however, could have been made
very interesting had the call inserted clause
that candidates for office were especially invited
TO be present to help in the labor Then the Sus-
sex counuans could have contests with the prize
that the best man-especiallv in the legislative
nomination-the man who put the most muscular
work on the scoop and shovel, should be entitled

Grand Old Man Of the Diamond.


New York Sun.
In presenting a loving cup to Denton
Tecumseh Young CCy') at his benefit in
Boston on Thursday Lieutenant-Governor
Draper said:
1.-THE longer live the more hold to the
definite conclusion that for any man to be
at the head in any profession or walk Of
life great ability. great self-control and
much hard work are required. and I do
not know Of any occupation where these
traits would count for more than in
baseball"
We think this appreciation from so emil
nent a source iustifes the space we have
given to the fame of the Grand Old Man
Of the Diamond. Details accumulate con-
cerning his formative home life-the pub
lie cannot have enough of them. Temper
ance and toll are the secrets Of Cy's en-
during success. He is always in training
when not occupying the box-mcntally re-
firing the Wagners Of the national game
in one, two. three order as he does his
chores in the closed season. We quote
from one Of the now common biographical
notices:
HE IS a farmer. for he has a big place
in Ohio to which he betakes himself at
the close Of each baseball season. and
where until early spring he leads life
in the open. arising with the birds to at
tend to his stock, chopping his own wood
and even milking his own cows. A man Of

\ paper from Dover rather adroitly injects
the railroad question into our politics and be-
lieves that the question OF railroad regulation will
be one OF the issues of the campaign. He nt-
mates that the movement for the denomination OF
Governor Lea is due to railroad influences be-
cause the governor is director of the Philade-
phia Baltimore and Washington Railroad Com
pany The correspondent AYERS that no legisla-
tion unfriendy to the railroad company was
passed by the last Legslature-the same
might be said of previous legslatures-and thus
the governor was relieved from the embarrass-
ing necessity of acting upon the same"
We do not believe, however, that the governor
would have been embarrassed if he had been
called upon to act upon such legislation. The
governor according to our observation, has not
permitted his railroad or business affiliations to
6nterfere with or influence his duties as the
lecutive of the State. In Delaware man is not
hebarred from public position because of his con-
hection, direct or indirect with a railroad COM
pany. If all the men who in their private lives
have been connected with railroad companies
eliminated, the official record of the States
offce-holders would look like a huge kite that
had been hit by shot from Gatling gun. The
fact that he is director of the railroad company
would not of itself prevent the denomination Of
Governor Lea.
The question of railroad rate regulation may
come before the next Legislature, as the last Re
publican State Convention made some reference
10 railroad rates in the State, but so far as we
have observed, the question is not likely to divide
partisan lines. The Democrats years ago
fastened the influence OF the railroad companies
upon the State, so that now when a corporation
question is involved certain politicians of both
parties rush to each other as rapidly as the
peaches fell from the tree in this State during
the drop last June.
There is some talk of appointing a railroad
commission. We doubt, whether it would
amount to much Had such a commission been
appointed by the last Legislature, for example it
would have meant merely the creating OF new
Jobs for various persons. When farmers or
others have complaints to make of the railroad
companies the officials of the latter willing to
hear them and in fact as much can be accom-
plshed in that way as by the appointment Of
commission.
Under the work OF the State Revenue Commits
sion the railroad question will come before the
Legislature in the form Of various recommends-
tions. The commission is unlikely to relieve the
railroads of any taxation This cannot be done,
simply because the State must have sources of
revenue
1t would be good thing If the general public
interests were well represented in the next Leg
islature. and il the men who are termed railroad
men should not form more than half the mem
bership. The State Senate is so constituted. with
a small membership, that it is an easy matter for
railroad and other corporation influences to sit
on the lid so hard that Hercules would fracture
his back in trying to lift it.

to the nomination. The future office holders and
would-be office holders would then have had
taste OF real hard work-work that many citizens
of the State have TO perform day in and day out
Such experience might have carried lesson
with it. When the future legislators felt how
hard it is for some people to make money by
daily toll, they when members of the l1eneral
Assembly, might think twice before squandering
the peoples money in useless expenditures.

Why Colds Are Dangerour.

Because you have contracted ordin-
airy colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a Geld but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Dlphtheria.
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contraced when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger Turks in cold than in any
ether of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain S Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have made
it a staple article of trade over a
large part of the world. For sale by

teaching of Christian Science leads
us to put self under foot; to have no
way and on will save Gods way and

me only so far as follow Christ"

been the instrument whereby the feet
of hundreds of thousands have beer
