GORING OF THE OK.

T is all question of whose OK is gored
\ Mr.. Roosevelt said something about the opn-
ions of the Supreme Court of the United States
being fossilized, and there was Immediately out
cry on the part of the New York Evening Post the
New York Sun and other newspapers that repre-
sent privilege Demagogue and anarchist, they
shouted in sanity chorus so loudly that Mr.. Con-
servative Immediately began to look out Of the
window TO see whether Roosevelt was coming with
torch with which to burn down his property
But The Post the other day in speaking of the
attitude of the United States Supreme Court on
the disfranchisng laws of the south said that the
Supreme Court has so often lodged this issue that
when the Maryland case comes before it the judges
will doubtless find way of deciding the ques-
tion before them in the narrowest possible limits.
What is this? The grave judges of the Supreme
Court dodgers, afraid TO face the question? And

THE COLONEL,S THOuGHTS.

MANY good souls have been wondering what
i = Colonel Roosevelt has been saying to him
self and to Kermit since the election. Speculation
about the Colones thoughts has furnished many
people with an interesting topic for discussion
ever since he returned from Africa or Elba or
whatever il may be called in literal or iguratve
language.
The Colonel has probably been looking at the
various cartoons Of himself pictured as at Water
loo as being a fallen Napoleon. One OF the car
toonists has already pointed the way to St. Helena
but the Colonel will remain at Oyster Bay, or Blue
Point as il is now called for some time. Those
who think the Colonel has permanently joined the
Down-and-Out Club will find themselves mistaken.
Il ought not TO be difficult however to guess
some of the thoughts of the Colonel. Doubtless
among other things he realizes the fact that when he
went out OF Office the Republican party was strong
and powerful and had in many states almost
crushed the Democrats out OF existence
And then he may contemplate that two years of
the administration Of Mr. Taft finds the party
Overwhelmingly beaten in many of its strong
holds. What a change.
The Colonel may think that it all would not
have happened had ne had the directing hand at
Washington during the last two years.

ONE INSTANCE OF DISAPPOINTMENT

our friends of the Delawarean at Dover 'ne
~ newspaper of Chairman William Salisbury
must be sadly disappointed at the result OF tne
election. They we're cocksure that Kent county
would 90 Democratic Even as late as one o'clock
ON election day Chairman Salisbury confidently
claimed the election. There was no thought tnen
thar the voters we're being bought as the Demo
cratic organ of this city has maintained since
Tuesday.
On the Saturday before election day the Dea-
warean had a local story of a Republican meet
ing which makes very funny reading in the light
of subsequent events.
The article was headed, Last Sad Rites OF the
Rep. Organization" "Requiescat in Pace SEEM
ed TO be the motto for the meeting of the Re
nubHcans of the Delaware State capital on Tues
day night at the Century Club" said the Della
warean in reporting the meeting

The Socialists of Wilmington increased Their
vote considerably at the election. They poed
sos for Congress and in another campaign
perhaps they will increase their vote beyond the

THE CONSERVATIVES.

+ XCEPT for the hope of probable deadlock
- at Washington-the House against the
Senate-with the president holding the trump
cards with the veto power, it is difficult to see
how the ultra Conservatives can feel very thank
full over the result. To be sure they hit Colonel
Roosevelt hard whack but they may find that
they have burned the barn in order to get rid of
the rats.
Many of the Old Guard have politically gone
the way of all flesh, and their places will be taken
in the Senate by men far more radical in their
views than the Old Guard While some of the
Democratic senators may be ultra Conservatives,
a large number of them will be extremely radical
Certainly the complexion of the Senate will be
far different from what il has been under the
domination of Mr.. Aldrich And by the way Mr..
Aldrich's State did not give him an overwhelming
Endorsement by any means. The Rhode Island
senator was wise as Hale of Maine was He got
