PARTIsANsH1P IN COUNTY WORK.

HE Seaford News thinks that there is in
n action as regards road improvement in
Sussex county. that there has been much money
spent for patchwork improvement but that the
reason for inaction at present is that the horde
of road overseers who are party workers in the
main must be supported" And the local Dem
ocratic paper promptly takes up the discussion
by adding that the work is impractical and IN
efficient because these overseers must be re-
tanned in the partisan service of the Republican
party of Sussex.
Thus it would try to make it appear that only
Republicans are opposed to good roads because
of partisanship. The implication that might be
drawn is, that if the good Democrats had con
troll in Sussex, things might be different; the
money of the taxpayers might be spent to adj
vantage and good roads would follow.
This cheap effort TO make a little partisan cap
ital however. fails when we glance at Kent
county. In that county whose Levy Court is
now controlled by the Democrats, there has
been considerable agitation for good roads, an
agitation that has been blocked by the Demo
cratic Levy Court, and for the same reason as
is popularity believed that the Seaford News
advances concerning the situation in Sussex.
Here in New Castle where the Levy Court
Il controlled by the Republicans, partisanshp
has not been permitted TO thwart county inn
provements. Does any one imagine that if the
Democrats had charge of affairs in Sussex
things as regards good roads or any other phase
OF county government would be improved! Is
there any thing in the record of the party in
Kent county or in Wilmington to make one be-
iieNe that the Democrats would make an I'M
provement in government, would administer at
fairs better? In fact the Democratic manage
ment of Kent county has been disappointment
to the Democratic leaders who have recently
been showing uneasiness and warning the Levy
Court that they must do better il they hope 30
retain control Of the county.

Navy Reform.

New York World
Throughout the service Secretary Meyer g
scheme for the reorganization Of the naval
establishment should be received with
satisfaction. There has been much discon-
tent with the way bureaucrats of the
Caps type have been running things in
the department TO the exclusion of Off
GERS seasoned by long practical expert
ence at sea. The hearings of the Senate
committee last year showed how intoler-
ant OF criticism such land sailors become.
and how hostile to new suggestions and
methods. Officers who from actual obser-
vations with the fleet ventured TO discuss
such questions as the location of armor-
plate and ammunition-hoists were treated
with open contempt.
'The final purpose Of the navy's exist
ence is military" says Secretary Meyer.
and all business which is transacted
therein has for its end the creation and
employment OF effective power on the
sea" That the people Of the United states
should spend over 800, 100000 year after
year on ships Of war for any other pur-
pose would be preposterous. The trouble
has largely been that the Secretary OF
the Navy IS never an expert in naval
affairs. He may be lawyer or a railroad
man or a mere politician. Mr.. Roosevelt
had half dozen OF various kinds dur
Ing his time and all together they made
no great showing.
Under the old system the Secretary Of
the Navy has been at the mercy Of the
bureau chiefs. While his subordinates,
they we're each virtually supreme in mat
tiers pertaining TO one bureau or another.
They were his chief reliance. and natu-
rally each sought 10 impose his ideas
upon the Secretary. The creation of an
advisory council Of four officers of rank
and experience 10 act as advisers to the
Secretary of the Navy restores him TO a
position Of real authority and RESPONSE
bility. And particularly as his advisors are
to be Officers of rank and experience"
and not merely bureau chiefs in love with
their own notions and prejudices. the
navy as an effective military power on
tho sea should benefit by the change

sometimes more is gained by looking wise than
