WE can see no good reason for
the enactment Of the law which
passed the Senate, and which is
waiting action in the House Of
Representatives ao Dover, which
has for its object the amending of
the Constitution Of Delaware so that
the question Of local option as TO
the sale of liquor shall be voted
upon by the people each eight
years. The constitutional provi-
sions as they now exist have not
been tried out, and we believe it is.
not the part Of wisdom to attempt
TO change the Constitution at the
whim Of every passing wave in the
political affairs of State. The
members of the House will do well
to turn the law down, and permit
the Constitution to remain as it is.

HOWEVER the controversy with
regard to the discovery OF the North
Pole may be settled, Commander
Peary has distinctly lowered him.
self in the public esteem by his
precipitate and bitter attack on DIR.
Cook. DR.. Cook had provoked no
such harsh treatment, but had borne
himself like q man and a gentleman.
The remark attributed to Comman-
der Peary, that he sent back his
last white companion when within
one hundred and fifty miles of the
Pole in order that he might save
the supreme honor for himself, may
serve to explain his attitude toward
the man whom he considers his
chief rival. 1t is not the scientist,
nor the explorer, nor the naval
officer who is revealed by that in
cident. There is in it a revelation
of ungenerous and unreasoning
selfishness which, even though all
PeAry's charges against Cook
should be proved. will remain as q
serious blot on his reputation.

WE are thoroughly convinced
that the Democrats of Colorado
are not capable Of conducting the
affairs Of the state government.

is either lacking in business ability

defeat Of the party in several cam.
paigns, and it appears as though
the same policy was being carried
out by the administration. Monies
appropriated for enterprises outside
of Denver do not seem to be forth

The Republicans may be grafters

States affairs they usally rustic the
money to pay the bills and that
covers a multitude of sins. But
what is the use of kicking? We

IT cost the country twenty mill
ion dollars above receipts to run
the Post Office Department last
year. This is an increase of four
million dollars over the deficiency
of the previous year. There are
several causes for the improbable.
ness of the Post Office Department.
For example, rural free delivery
has been extended far beyond the
capacity of the new routes to pay
for themselves. and the registration
and special delivery services are
both unsatisfactory and expensive
But the chief reason for the deficit
is that the department must carry
free of charge huge bulk of mail
matter originating in Congress or
in the several departments of the
government. If the postage for
this material was charged at reg u.
lar rates. it would 60 far toward
wiping out the deficit. It is true
that the franking privilege is not
abused as il once was, but there is
no good reason why each depart
ment should not pay its own post
age bills There would be no real
increase 10 expenses, the whole
matter being merely a problem OF
bookkeeping. but it would relieve
the Post Office Department from
the undeserved stigma of being run
at an immense loss to the govern
ment.

himself a very efficient non-commis-

the duties of the present appointment.
The non commissioned officers of Co.

f.. ID. Knox. have organized a signal
corps and rapid progress is being

to the company.
Company A is doing fine work on
the rifle range in Randolph. The new
men are showing up well, and some
very good scores have been attained.
The drill Monday night was devoted
to guard and outpost duty. This is an
agreeable change for the men, taking
them out of doors after a winter of
close order drill in the armorv.
The following are the late promo
tions in the company: Corporal J. w.
