nature of the funds were plainly set

Figures Are Erroneous.
Even in case the funds of the AS.
ISOLATION were subject to assessment
and tax, the amount claimed by the
tax ferret, Mr.. Davis, is in error. The
ferret claims taxes on the years
1902 to 1906 inclusive. In the years
1902 and 1903 the headquarters Of
the association were in Abba, Mon
roe county, and Mahaska county
would have no possible claims upon

1904, 1905 and 1906, when the offices
were maintained in the city of 'Oska-
loosa, the accounts of the association
will show that they had no such
amount of money in the funds that
the tax ferret has designated as as
sessable, az he claims in his, state
ments, and more especially did they
have no such amounts in Mahaska
county as the ferret claims to have
been under the jurisdiction of the
county.

THE arrest made in Milford last
week for selling liquor illegally, is
a very proper effort on the part of
the people who believe in the OBJ
servance OF law, to put stop to
the speakeasy business, and to carry
out the will of the majority who
voted against the sale of liquor in
the two lower counties Of Delaware.
Those who are guilty have no one
to blame but themselves and they
have willfully broken the law, so
they must take the punishment
that it provides. In such cases as
are involved in the raids, the United
States will have an account to set
tie with the offenders, as we'll as
the case of the State, and we be-
lieve that it will be a serious matter
for them before it is finally disposed
of. The laws will be enforced, and
only a few weeks ago a local item
in the Chronicle called attention to
the open violation of law then be-
ing carried on but even that failed
to act as a warning; now they
must take the consequences.

WHEN the Republicans of Sussex
County meet to name a ticket on
the goth of September at George
'own, the people of Nanticoke dis
trict will present the name of George
H. Buell. as their candidate for
Sheriff, and with good reason to
claim the nomination of him for the
position Mr.. Buell. has been a
lifelong Republican a worker for
the success of the party at all times;
an honest, earnest believer in the
principles Of his party, and always
ready to help friend. He has the
ability as to education, moral and
physical qualifications to do credit
10 the position, and it is also the
privilege of Nanticoke to ask for
recognition at this time. Mr.. |
Buell. should be nominated for other
but mainly because he can
command the unqualified support
Of all Republicans, and we hope he
IS placed on the ticket for Sheriff
IF Sussex County for the best in

THE necessity that the Crawford
system Of nominating county tickets
be adopted for all the counties of
Delaware, we are forced to admit
IS now at hand, and the coming
sessions of the General Assembly
should make the law apply to the
whole of Delaware, as it now applies
to New Castle. 1t will do awav
with the setting up of states by in
diViduals, and leave the field open
to all candidates, with the majority
Of the people as the arbiters as to
whom they desire to represent
them. As it now is. a leader. or a
few Of his friends meet and set up a |
ticket regardless of the people at
large; saving, that Consultation"
IS held at either private houses or
IN private hall, by those most ac-
tive in looking after their own in
terests. Let it be clearly under
stood, that the lower counties of
Delaware desire to have the right

IT would be we'll for the members
Of the Kent Levy Court to remem-
Der that the tax payers of that
county have not forgotten that an
investigation Of reported grating
has been in progress for many
weeks, and that report is due now.
If there is no truth in the charges,
then it should be told to the people
at once; but, by the continued
meetings and adjournments, the
Levy Court is confirming the
charges, and the result will be felt
at the polls in November This
week the final report was postponed
until next week, when the matter
will be again called up. The &C
ton Of the committee in failing to
report, has convinced a majority of
the people that there is well founded
grounds for the charges, and that
full information should be given to |
the public. Postponement is hurt
ing the party, and endangering Re
publican success in November;
result that will be charged directly
to the members Of the Levy Court
who are failing to discharge their
duty to the tax payers.
