II seems that our Democratic
friends have no plank to stand on
in the present campaign and are
franticly shouting against bribery.
Regardless of statements OF facts
and of the platform of the Republi-
can party, or Of anything to the
contrary, their papers are shouting
bribery and rewards for its detec-
ton. Now it occurs to us, that all
this shouting may be for the pur-
pose Of covering their own foot
steps in this particular direction,
by diverting the attention of the
public. Just keep watch of the
other fellow, as we recollect that
during the last campaign in the
eighth Kent county district, some
very loud rumors were floating
about that Democrats spent over a
Gsousand dollars to elect candidates
at that time in that district.
Milford chronicle., 1910-10-21

AS election approaches the Peo-
pie are manifesting more and more
interest IN the results, and FROM all
districts the same report comes
that Republicans are earnestly
working for the support Of the gen
eral ticket. About the only place
where any dissention is apparent
IS right here in Milford, and that
mas about spent its force, and the
reaction commenced ten days ago,
and It is as sure as death and taxes
that the whole Republican ticket
will be given handsome majorities.
The last day of registration will be
tomorrow, aud there will be every
effort made to have the entire cleo
torate of the district qualified to
vote in November. and there is no
reason to think that any will be
left off the lists. When this is ac-
complished, the Republican vote
will show the same result as in for
mer years, especially in the First
of Sussex and the Tenth of Kent.
Milford chronicle., 1910-10-21

IF the Legislature, which will
meet next January, will wipe away
all the present road laws on the
books, and make uniform road
laws similar to those of New
Castle County, it would accom-
Plish the greatest blessing possible
for the people, and this alone would
be worth the entire cost of the ses-
sion.

THE Republican party is pledg-
ed to progressive legislation and a
fair show for every taxpayer for
his money paid. We know that
the Democratic party in Kent
county has spent the money along
old lines, and even refuse to buy
phosphates for the almshouse farm
where they can be bought cheaper
from Republicans; but pay more
10 a Democrat for the same mater
ials. That is honorable business
management with a vengeance.
Fot this reason Kent county should
vote for Republican members OF
the Levy Court.
Milford chronicle., 1910-10-21

How would it do to abolish the
levy courts OF both Kent and Sus-
sex Counties and institute a com
mission of say FIVE who shall have
power to administer the affairs of
county government? The system
would cost less for salaries, and the
people would get better results for
their taxes. Lets try the expert
ment, and if it does not work, its
easy to return to the old system.

WHATEVER the hopes Of the op-
position may be as to the results in
the Fifth Senatorial District of
Kent county, the sun of Wednes-
day morning after the election in
November, will see DR.. George w.
Marshall elected Senator by the
people by larger majority than
the district ever gave before to a
Republican candidate. The per
sonal opposition to him will not
exceed in all more than the num-
Der of the votes polled in former
years by the so-called regular re-
publicans of this district. and
that never exceeded forty in Mil
ford voting districts, and frankly,
we can count less than a score of
voters who will be liable to cut
him; all these would be on person
al grounds. DR.. Marshall on the
other hand has many warm person
al friends among Democrats who
will compliment him with their
votes. He is sure of election with
the balance of the ticket. Mr..
Beswick, the candidate for Repre-
sentative, is on record as being op-
posed to resubmission of the liquor
question at the present time, so
there is no reason for opposition tC-
him by temperance voters, and his
election is also a foregone conclu
sion.

DOG AS CHARACTER WITNESS
Bellies Brutality Ascribed TO Him by
Girl Complainant

Bang" an English setter. was dumb
but important witness in the City Court
yesterday in the suit by Sophie Kahn to
recover from Hiram L. Phelps. owner of
the dog. $2.COo damages because she was
the victim of his teeth
The girl said that on December 9, 1909,
while she was at Willis avenue and 135th
street. the dog attacked her and bit her
ION the right eye Bang did not look
like a dog that would be guilty of the
thing that Sophie charged. He walked
about the courtroom with a most guilt
less manner, and while his accuser was
testifying he sat down beside her and
placed his head in her lap. as if appealing
to her to give him good character.
And if Bang was just acting he played
his part well, for he indicated his feeling
dog fashion by continually waggtng his
tail After being out two hours the jury
was instructed to bring in a sealed yer
dict, which will be opened this morning.

BAZAAR IN WALDORF OPEN
Woman's League, Lacking Taft,
Gets Frohman to Officiate.

There probably isn't one of US women OF
the stage" said Miss Amelia Bingham when
she introduced Daniel Frohmar at the
Christmas bazaar of the Professional Won-
ans League. at the Waldorf-Astoria yes
terday, who hasn't thought at some time
or other how she would love to see her
name in big letters on the billboards with
Presented by Daniel Frohman' under it.
Now the tables are turned, and it is my
privilege president Of this league to pre-
sent him to the women
Mr.. Frohman began his speech standing
modestly on a chair but Miss Bingham,
with an up he goes!" hoisted him on to
q table that stood beside it.
Women have been blamed for every
financial disaster that has happened since
the days of Adam and Eve said Mr.. Froh
man. THAT is not right. Woman's need
is mans opportunity. The truth about
Eve is that the Garden of Eden bored
her; she wanted to get out and the
fashions and have an automobile She
cooked up a scheme which made Adam a
self-respecting, Woodworking citizen of the
world. She did for Adam what many a
woman has done for her husband since.
Women are ambitious and know how 20
spend money. and you have an opportunity
to display your talents by buying Christ
mas presents at this bazaar, and thus
helping the league to build that home they
want for actresses who are too OLD or too
sick to work.
Mr.. FrOhman explained that he was there
because President Taft was too busy to
accept the invitation of the league to open
the bazaar
An immense picture of Mr.. Taft, smile
and all, surmounted the Friars BOOTH
where Wallace Munro was selling chances
on a hipleSs corset. The Friars display
was varied ranging from the corset to
tomato catsup, cigarettes and little black
dolls.
There is nothing in the heavens above
or the earth beneath that wasn't offered at
the bazaar on chances. Unwary men who
wandered in were Immediately surrounded
by focks of turbaned. hobble-s1rted
''Maymes'' and "Flossies.'' beseeching them
to take chances on tailor-made suits cut
glass berry bowls, sachet bags, a Persian
cat and hundred other things and the
hobble skirts didn't prevent them from get
ting all the money the men had.
Charles S. Mellen, president of the New
York New Haven & Hartford Railroad
was one who was observed to go out of
the door murmuring in an undertone that
he was ruined.
The Persian cat, cream in color and
Creme in name, was the most popular in
dividual at the bazaar and the most uncon-
cerned He slept right through the con-
tinuous reception he held. never waking I'M

JURY TO INSPECT BUILDING
Will Look To- day Into Safety of
Criminal Courts Structure.

Coincident with an announcement yes
terday that the grand jury of which Ar
thur Curtis James, the banker and commo-
6cre of the New York Yacht Club, is fore
man would make an inspection to-day OF
the Criminal Courts Building a number of
men were put at work in the structure
cleaning and repairing it.
When the grand jury reported as usual
in Part l. General Sessions yesterday Judge
Grain read the law relating to that body's
inspection of public buildings.
This building he added, seems to be
IL a condition of disrepair, and there are
So many persons in it daily on business
that it should be definitely determined
whether or not it is structurally safe and
sanitary"
The members of the grand jury will be
escorted over the building to-day by Su-
perintendent Rudolph p Miller, OF the Bu-
reaU of Buildings: Superintendent Robert
l. Insley, of the Bureau of Public Buildings
ard Offices: Chief Engineer Nelson P Lew
IS. of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment: Owen Brainerd, of the New York
Chapter Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects. and James P. Whiskeman, formerly
engineer in the Bureau of Buildings.
Borough President McAneny said yes
terday ;hat there was file in his office
the report of the special commission APP
pointed by Borough President Ahearn a
year or more ago to investigate the con-
Gition of the building. This report declares
that the building is perfectly safe, but that
= gradual and fnconsequential settling may
be expected. Borough President McAneny
on taking office verified the correctness of
tins report and has since had the engineers
of his department inspect the building from
time 10 time to see that the settling does
nor exceed what the report fixed as normal.
