Says Paynter's Withdrawal Benefits
Davis.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
notice in a morning paper state
ment that IL is conceded that DIR. Ro-
land c. Paynter will withdraw from
the ticket in favor Of Chas. ID. Bird.
The fact is that DR.. Paynter has posi-
lively refused to permit the use Of
his name for the Democratic guber-
material nomination; but he has not
withdrawn in favor of Mr.. Bird on
the contrary, he announced that he
personally favored the nomination Of
Ex- Governor Ebe w. Tunnel.
The political effect of DR.. Paynter's
refusal TO be a candidate will be to
make it reasonably certain that the
Democratic nomination for governor
viii come to New Castle county. They
have six other candidates for governor
in Sussex, but Or. Paynter was the
only man In the county on whom the
Sussex delegates could be unit
ed His positive and definite re-
fusal to stand opens the door wide
for the nomination OF a New Castle
county man. This would be a benefit
to Mr.. Bird II Mr.. Bird would secure
the majority vote Of the New Castle
county caucus. But every reliable in
the choice of the New Castle county
caucus for governor. tOf the rural
delegates from this county, who will
be without opposition at the primaries,
a canvass shows that Mr. Davis is fav-
orably regarded by 30 delegates, and
Mr.. Bird by 13 delegates. while dele
gates are for Mr.. Shallcross or scat
tering There is a primary fight on in
lrtT = for urrrf
how the Wilmington delegation will
stand, but the supporters of Mr.. Davis
claim that he will get az least 10 of
the Is delegates from Wilmington. II
this claim is well founded II is mani
fest that Millard +. Davis will get the
support of the New Castle county cau-
Gus by a large majority over all COM
petitors. That caucus win consist OF
e5 delegates.
With New Castel county presenting
such a candidate for Governor as Mr.
Davis would make there is now little
doubht that the convention will give
him the nomination. He is widely pop
ular with the people. He Is free from
all factions. He is a clean, high
minded. kind-hearted Christian gentle
man. He has the ability and character
to make first-class governor. In that
high Office he would be under the
domination OF no man or class OF men
but would be guided by his own con-
science and intelligence and by the will
OF the people. he is a straight Demo
crat and has always voted the Demo
cratic ticket, without attempting e
interfere wit hthe political opinion oi
other men. New Castle county may

Davis as her candidate for Governor
and the other counties will be quit,

Editorial Opinion
Leprosy.

New York Times.
An alleged leper. John r. Early, lies
in a tent on the flats Of the Potomac,
condemned by the Washington medical
authorities to an isolated and fricndlcss
death. Mr.. Early visited Washington
last week 10 obtain q pension for ser-
vice in the Spanish and Philippine
campaigns. Having called a physician
for his malady, he found himself locked
i'm his room. and now the doctors fear
even a. remove him TO the nearest leper
COLONY in Louisiana.
But. according TO those who have
seen most Of the disease in the Philip.
pine Islands. leprosy Is not contagious
and is hardly infectious Lieut. Charles
y. Macdonald, Of the Army Medical
Corps. has just sent 10 DIR, Isadorc
Dyer, of New Orleans, fresh proofs
that the disease is rsnllv rare form
of tuberculosis. contracted from infect
ed sea fpod. It has cften been Oh
served that persons afflicted with
leprosy have lived on diseased fish and
clans. That the disease is not spread
from its human host or by bad SAIL
tation has been demonstrated. DR.
Macdonald says, among the lepers Of
Samar.

often by care, which the youth of strong body
does not exercise, live to a ripe old age and are
among the worlds most useful citizens. In fact
the youth who knows that he must care for him
ter chance Of long life than the healthy child
whose constitution leads him to recklessness and
excess.
In this matter the consumptves are not to be
overlooked They should not be discouraged
Statistics show that many persons who die at an
advanced age have had at one time in their lives
tuberculosis which has been either arrested or
cured. How often do life insurance companies
reject candidates for insurance because of evi-
dence of disease and yet those rejected fre-
quently outlive the hale and hearty man who
passes the insurance examination without trouble
but who is cut down by some acute disease
The message then to those youth not of ro-
bust constitution is to be of good cheer, not to
worry about their condition but to take care of
themselves.

new TREATMENT FoR DEMOCRATS

@ ONE Of our Democratic friends about town
~ are looking both pleased and thoughtful,
Upon them, they think rests a grave RESPONSE
bility-that of nominating a state ticket at the
Democratic Convention soon to be held. 1t is
whispered, with a sly wink, that no slate has
been prepared, that there are many aspirants and
that the culng process will have to be followed.
lust what is going on in the mysterious recesses
of the DUPONT building and the Ford building
and across the street and down the street where
our Democratic friends do not devote all their
time in these days to preparing briefs for the
Judges, It is difficult to learn. We have our sus-
picons however
The Democrats have been hunting for some
methods of injecting enthusiasm into the party
and they are connving at a scheme for a rip
roaring state convention at Dover. We trust
they will be able to devise some plan to stir up
the delegates from Kent and Sussex so that all
the 'hoerng' will not be done by the New
Castle delegates. For we fancy the New Castle
delegates will be in Dover with force and noise
They are a militant lot, even il they do get
whipped at the polls at the big election ''o
We shodld not be surprised TO hear that the
Democrats have hit upon plan for enthusiasm.
They are alert and some of their leaders have
been travelling around the country finding out
what is going on Of course, them their atten-
tion must have been called to the wonderful
stories related of the Oxygen treatment" as ap-
piled to athletes
The "oxygenated athletes" have worked mar
wells according to the press agent stories sent
out from summer resorts. One man who was
filled with oxygen is reported to have swum 100
yards in nine seconds below his best previous
records. Other athletes who have shown great
increased strength and endurance il seems have
had oxygen pumped into them. The oxygen
treatment has long been given to keep dying
persons alive.
Therefore if the Democrats are wise they have
no doubt considered in their mysterious meetings
the application of oxygen to the party in this
state and therefore large supply of oxygen in
stead of ozone may be kept on tap at Dover on
convention day. What good thing il would be
for our Democratic friends to make the oxygen
experiment AS the leaders arrived at Dover in
stead of looking at the "beerine" signs in the
windows they could take a little oxygen and they
would be so sprightly and spry and happy with
such endurance that a prohibition preacher
would be puzzled 10 find out what allied the Dem
ocrats
If the Kent and Sussex delegates were
treated with oxygen they would be as active
as two year old colt and by comparison the
Fifth Ward chorus would seem like a eondol-
ence committee
Imagine Mr., Handy confronted by his fifty
rivals all filled with oxygen, all desirous of hav-
ing the nomination for Acknowledgement. What
time they would cause Altogether we advise
the Democrats to use the oxygen treatment be-
fore the convention because when they go Ia
swim up Salt river after the election thev won't
need any oxygen with which to accelerate their
speed.

HALT THE FARMERS COMMISSION

W ITH the refusal of Professor Liberty H.
Bailey to head the commission that is to
inquire into the condition of farmers, with hope
of suggesting some plan to improve conditions
in rural life, the scheme seems to be sagging
somewhat. Not much has been said about it of
late by either the President or the fellows in
cities whose knowledge of life on the farm con-
sists chiefly of what they have read of it in comic
papers or perhaps gained by an outing of several
days. In fact, we do not see how a commission
is going to do very much for the farmers, and we
don't believe the farmers want any commission
coming around with suggestions as to how this
that ought to be done If Mr. Roosevelt and
his commission wanted 10 be of real service to
the farmers in Delaware, for example, let them
discover some way in which the various dis
eases that afhict our peach orchards can be rem
edied. But such knowledge requires more than
can be obtained sitting around clubs or cosy
corners and engaging in general exchange of
windy words on what your neighbor should do.
The farmers themselves consider all these mat
ters at their institutes and state grange meet
ings.
