1t is matter of deep regret to
friends of the great temperance
movement in the State, that rural
New Castle County did not cast
majority vote against the licensing
of saloons. While there may be
various opinions advanced as to
the cause of the anti-saloon defeat,
it is Interesting to note the edi-
torial comment of the Middletown
Transcript on the qustion. 1t says
in full: "By an increased ma
jority. rural New Castle County
decided in favor of license on Tues
day. This result was not expected
by those familiar with the cam
paign. The DRY" people put off
starting their campaign too long.
The strength of their side lies in
arousing the moral sense of the
community, and this could not be
done in the short time devoted to
the campaign. The efforts of the
Dry forces were so scattered as
to lose their effect. Time and
energy and consequent expense were
wasted in speech making in Kent
and Sussex Counties, where the
question was not at issue, that could
have better been devoted to New
Castle County. If we were aske /
to suggest better plan for the
campaign against license, we would
unhesitatingly say, first, secure
such an amendment to the constitu-
ton as will permit of the vote being
taken in an off year, and that when
a district goes "dry" that it shall be
effective not earlier than the first of
January following the election, the
third and most important of all,
get rid of the visionary, impractical,
salary taking would leaders, and
run a campaign by and through the
earnest, sincere men who are will
ing to devote their time and energy
to the work. By these means, and
these alone, we believe that success
can be attained. But not having
been asked our opinion, we do not
suppose that the present management
will look with favor on our sugges-
tiOns, but will continue to work as
they have done in the past.

The throttle of hOisting engine of

high Coal and Navigation company, at
Lansford, Pa, refused to work while a

The engine ran away and the men
were dropped to the bottom, a dis
tance of 900 feet. Six of them are in
the Panther Greek Valley hospital suf-
fering with injuries to their legs and
feet. The others escaped serious in

The man who sells his vote and
the man who buys vote are equally
guilty and we say unhesitatingly if
sufficient evidence can be found that
each should suffer the full penalty of

good citizens, both Democrats and
Republicans, should fight to stamp it

1t has gotten to be now that
neither party can figure on the in

properly cast throughout the State
would have swung the Legislature

dred the strength and popularity of
one candidate was not sufficient to
pull the whole ticket through.
There is more independent voting
