Ehrhardt Etchings.

Ehrhardt, October 11.-FarmerR
are still rushing their cotton to mar
ket. They say the prices are too
good to risk holding for better.
More than 100 bales were sold here
Saturday at 12A cents average.
From all the information that can
be gathered, the crop in this section
Is more than two thirds gathered and
sold. Only a few bales have been
held, and they are not very far from
the railroad station.
Our school opened up with more
scholars than we expected, and more
are coming soon; say next month
when the farm work is near done.
Labor is so poor until several OF the
farmers with large families and farms
have to use their children to gather
their cotton.
The millinery shop folks here are
busy getting their stock in shape for
opening day, when they expect to
display their stock of hats to the best
advantage. The men folks may as
well get some money ready for the
occasion, for the lady folks say they
haven't any chickens to market and
the hens are not laying worth cent,
SO the hat must come from some
source of the whole machine will
stop.
The Woman's Missionary society at
Mt. Pleasant Lutheran church will

MO doubt the Click case which was on trial
in the Federal Court here last week has
attracted considerable attention among politi-
cians throughout the country. MANY guilty
man must be digging down into his pockets to
see II he has the "wherewithal" to paw possible
hnes. The government at Washington has been
taking much interest in the affairs of Delaware
OF late and surely the Attorney-General's De
partment intends to follow ND the Click case
with similar prosecutions in other parts of the
country We understand that the Attorney-Gen-
erals Department in Washington has been care
fully watching the outcome of the trial in Della
ware. If the government sets in motion its le-
gal machinery in all parts of the country with
the same energy that has been displayed in Del
aware. the government ought to reap sufficient
funds to make up for the national deficit that has
been harassing Uncle Sam for some years
How many members of the present Congress-
for example, have talked about political contri-
buttons on Federal premises? Most members of
Congress get there because Of their political ac-
tivity, and the real political activity that counts
IN these days deporable as it may seen is gath
ering in the money.
Maybe Mr. Click is not 10 be the only one

But whether Uncle Sam puts out the drag

wish to gather funds for political purposes
From practical political point of view the
question may arise as to how the committees
of political party should gather funds for, cam

legitimate expenses. During the last campaign
the "macing" of corporations was practically
abandoned and Mr.. Roosevelt did not find it
necessary to call on Mr. Hartman to help Mr.

Click case the solicitation of campaign funds
from Federal Office holders, either on or off
Federal premises, will fall into dsfavor? And
if the corporations and the rich men and the
men who as Office holders enjoy the fruits Of
political victory should be relieved from contrib
uting, then we should have to call on the man
who has no hope of getting Office to give up his
cash for the purpose of permitting the other fell
low to get place For while much is said about
the general principles of government advocated
by the parties, TO the average politician in these
days. the greatest principle is whether he is go
ing to get an office.
The comment of our Federal Court on these
matters-the question Of demanding or request

as we'll as dealistc, but it will take long time
To beat such notions into the heads of the aver
age men in politics.

CHANGERS PRAISE GOVERNOR.

M conjecture that Governor Pennewill
will appreciate the compliment paid
him by the New Castle Grangers who passed
resolution commending his selection Of the
Judges The Grangers say that 1--WE are con-
unced that the appointments were not dictated
by the politicians and believe that every
man selected is worthy of the confidence of all
the people"
Such commentator strengthens the Gov
ernor in his determination to give the people OF
the state good administration. The Governor
may rest assured that the closer he sticks TO
the straight path the greater will be the salts
faction of the mass of the people.
We might add to the words of the Grangers
that the slate of new judges was not the slate
picked by the, corporate interests of the state
and not the slate advocated by some political
leaders of high influence. Had IT not been for
the good judgment of Mr.. Pennewill himself we
should have had a different bench OF Judges
and one that might have aroused the ire of the
Changers. We believe in giving credit where
It is due and in looking back upon the difficult
task that confronted the Governor, we are bound
TO say that he deserves about ninety per cent, at
a low estimate, of the credit for the appoint
ments. In fact, some of the political leaders
upon whom Governor Pennewill had a right to
lean for sage counsel and advice utterly failed
him.

REPUBLICAN DEFEAT.

II HE election on Saturday was much like
Il decision based on the Tipping of a coin
"a question of luck. change OF one hundred
votes would have altered the result and given
Republican victory. II was one ot the closest
contests ever held in the city. Although there
has been considerable talk OF apathy, the total
vote pollcd was somewhat larger than that OF
two years ago when the campaign was much
livlier
Compared with 1907 when Mayor Wilson was
chosen. the Republican vote on Saturday jumped
from 7oS7 for Wilson to 7,t7o fov Taylor, but
the Democratic vote jumped from o'oo3 Tor biro'
10 z27S for DIR. Spruancc. In the two heavy
Republican wards. the Seventh and the Fifth,
the total vote was almost the same for the Re
publican candidate comparing the two elections
The Democratic vote in some of the Democratic
wards increased considerably.
The Republicans seem to have been overeonh-
dent The organization has defeated the poiti-
cal enemy so often that the usual result was eS-
pected this time without considerable amount
OF effort The Democrats prohted and worked
under cover.
We fancy that the Republicans underrated the
strength OF the Democratic ticket 1t was tick
Ct that did not appeal strongly to independents
or dissatisfied Republicans, but to Democrats.
The contest was to see which party could bring
out the greatest percentage of its voters and
therefore. the Democratic ticket, from ther
point of view. was fitted for the occasion.
The Republicans have been in power so long
in the city and state that, is always the case,
a dissatisfied element has sprung up in its ranks.
1t is hard To estimate the extent of this element
but. il is evident that the administration of the
affairs of the city was dspleasing to a consid-
cradle number OF Republicans. Individually
and personally the Republican candidates were
excellent men, worthy of election, and they
should have been elected, but the party had real
and imaginary sins TO answer for and a city
which on Presidential elections gives a large
Republican majority chose Democratic
Nayor.
A number of voters evidently overlooked the
splendid record that the Republicans have on
the whole made in the management of the at
fairs of the city. They looked only at mistakes
Like the garbage mattcr-and ignored the
great balance of good that the Republicans had
20 their credit.
As a result OF the election the Republican lead
ers will find it necessary to take an account Of
stock-to study the why's and the wherefores
and to govern themselves accordingly They
will thus be able TO avoid in the future the mis-
takes of the past II IS well to remember that
the Republicans have been defeated before in a
city election and the present defeat means that
city campaign two years hence. By that time
the people will have become weary OF Demo
: cratic rule-they always do after they have had
one dose of it for two years-and the Republi-
cans will be returned TO power.
The chief lesson, however is that the Repub-
licans IN Wilmington not invncible
