WE want to see the people vote
directly at the primaries for the men
who they desire to represent them
in any or all the offices, and then
the people will be responsible for
the men placed in official place. 1t
is proper that contests shall be set
tied at the primaries, and that the
soarness engendered by a combina-
ton of delegates named by the direc-

vote for the man they desire, and
the winner be Loyalty supported as

SENATOR Dupont has very wise
ly decided to remain in the United
States this summer and attend to
the political situation himself, and
1t is hoped that under his supervi-
sion the grave blunders of the last
campaign will not be hung around
the neck of the party to carry
through the brief campaign before
us. With wise management there
is no reason why the Republican
Party of Delaware should fail to
carry both branches of the legisla-
ture, and elect full state ticket.
This can be done by nominating
capable, clean men along the whole
line down to even the district
officers. Especially must this be
with the members of the various
levy court commissioners. In this
department the real burthen of ad-
ministration rests, and in the ex-
penditure OF the taxes paid by the
people, it is now demanded, that
not only no possibility of graft be
possible with the nominees select
ed, but that business ability to see
that money is judiciously expended
after a wise system shall constitute
one OF therequirements ofa nominee.

who had gathered with the Secret Service
man in an excited group about Elmore and
the inventor fell back.
Merely plot to anticipate my electrical
invention just as Elmore tried to ruin my
powder" Kane said coldly. His tone was
singing arraignment of the young powder
expert in its contemptuous suggestion.
Surprised, Roberts hesitated for an in
slant on the threshold; then. with hasty
injunction to the express clerk, he closed the
Kane. The peculiar tenSity of the mans
gaze, which had first impressed him, was &C
centuated, and the muscles of his mouth
jerked and pulled as he talked; otherwise
he had himself we'll under control.

You did not choose to acquaint me with

purpose" Kane retorted, without losing his
self control
Elmore included Roberts and the In
spector in sweeping gesture which silenced
the curious group. Il told you | was NOR

liar property of his powder for his own ends

Lucerne," Kane said, scowling at Gilmore.
"She was Just passing out"
That's a fact" Roberts smilingly con-
frmed Kane. 1t was the cue he had been
waiting for "Only that's where you made
your mistake. 1t wasn't the Lucerne that
passed; the Lucerne was held at her pier
by my orders. That was the Caronia that
passed the Hook this morning. And, as she
didn't happen to carry any of your powder
aboard, Mr. Inventor like the Lucerne you
just touched off the nearest target, and that
happened to be Elmore's wireless receiver,

That's the chap who sent the package

her the smile with which she greeted him
contained no trace of their sentimental mo-
ment In fact, he noted scornful twist at
her lips which made him think that their
eternal friendship had been only an infeici
tous phrase, and her voice when she next
spoke had a hard little ring which sounded
strangely unfamiliar.

it?" she asked.
about WHAT"
"Why, Natalie, of course"
"Oh, I'll see her this morning, deliver my
message from Northrop, and then he
stopped. :,
And then get back to work"
THE frown on Mrs. Kempton's face deep
ened, and the scorn in her voice was un-
mistakable. Men are such fools-such
towards! Ready to tilt at windmill, or fly
at the sight of their own shadows! The man
was never invented who was meant to be
husband Is it any wonder that women
make the mistakes they do? Oh, I've no
patience with you! You are all alike, ready
with suspicion distrust, or with indifference.
You'll 60 back to the city and bury your
head like the ostrich. Go, if you like; but
I'll not answer for Natalie!" she finished.
He heard her through with amazement,
much disturbed "What else can do" he
muttered half angrily. when I'm in New
York she is at peace. So am l. Here l am
aid.-afraid for myself, but more afraid
for her."
Mrs. Kempton lowered her head and
closed her eyes. The deep note that
sounded in his voice stirred her. He did not
see the Tightening of her gloved hand, or the
pressure of her lips. He only knew another
change had come into her manner. and felt
her gauntleted hand over his own and her
soft voice pleading, "Stay. Mr.. Garriott, at
least for few days. Perhaps l can really
help. Natalie seems to lean on me at times.
Some women are won by kindness, some by
cruelty. others still by mingling of the two.
Won't you stay, at least for Mrs. Schuyler's
party? You've been working too hard; you
look tired and worried"
'I'll look more tired if stay. l feel like
fool here
Fortune favors fools. they say. Per-
haps she'll smile on you in the height of your
folly Give her chance. Promise me you'll
not go!"
For answer he turned the palm of his hand
to take her own. which had again rested
lightly on his. But his eyes frowned at the
towers of the Grange, which were now visi

Garriott started. "You can't mean it!
Who told you?" he demanded.

He ficked at tree branch with his crop.
81 didn't think he'd do that" he said. Il
gave him his chance and thought he'd stay.
I'm afraid, Mrs. Kempton, that this case is
a little too serious to be claSSed with baby
diseases"
"Oh, cheer up. After all, there are many
worse things in the world than death under
the lash of woman's scorn.'
Eyes; but it's much sweeter to live under
the dominion of a woman's smile" he said,
raising his eyes to hers. And then after a
pause. Il don't know why you have been so
good to me, Mrs. Kempton. I'm sure I've
done nothing to deserve it. I've never had
a wonlans interest before, and I've never
cared enough to give any woman mine. L

very clever with women; but it seems to me

There was silence, a little constrained, be-
tween them, and they both looked out
across the harbor, where the gulls were sway
ing about the wake of the Alicia. But when
later he stole look he found her face turned
brightly toward his own. Impulsively he
thrust forth his hand. Lets swear eter-

Perhaps some day you may need me-
She took the hand he offered her with
frank warmth. and though she turned her
head away again he could see the moisture
that hung for a moment on her eyelashes.
But she brushed it away, laughing nervously.
Il never did that before. How childish!

Forgive me, please forgive mel" he
broke in.
"Of course. There's nothing to forgive.

Every man has to do laborers work no
matter what his occupation has been or
Is. Although this Is one of the strongest
labor sections in. New England, we have
had no trouble on that account. Part of
the reason Is that the men in order to
have as much money as possible for
themselves over and above the amount
paid to the state do not underbids the
ordinary labor market which is the rea-
son why in many states there is such Bit
ter objection to convict labor.
The plan we have tried has been for
tunate enough to attract attention
throughout the state and even beyond It's
borders. AS the governor of Vermont has
often commended the work. the method
by which we have tried to help prisoners
to help themselves is quite likely4to be
followed more extensively in this state.
We have not tried for financial success
in this work but with the hope that un-
fortunate men who have almost lost
their grip on the ladder might be helped.

ostermann's Varied Career

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The career of II. C. Ostermann, who
was the genius of the graft scheme by
which the illinois Central railroad was
robbed of ye.OoO,O0O. is interesting. Os-
hermann related his life history in Chi
rago few days ago while on the wit
ness stand.
Ostermann began life as a newsboy.
AT the tender age of 6 years he was
selling papers for a living. At he
quit selling them to become a bellboy
in a New York hotel He stayed with
the hotel three years and then was by
turns a cash boy, a telegraph messen-
ger boy and a clerk in cigar store. AT
IA he enlisted in the United States
navy and served three years. Suisse
quently he picked oranges and did odd
Jobs in California and worked for some
time as a sailor on steamships which
piled between San Francisco and Pan
anna. AT one time he was employed
on ranch in Montana and for a while
he was a performer in a Wild West
show. He frequently worked as a day
laborer and once was employed as a
section hand on the Great Northern
railroad. In 1896 he got dob as brake
man on the Illinois Central. He worked
his way up to conductor and while thus
engaged invented grain car. That

officials sometimes allow groups of con-
viots to work without guards but the
fact that others are present acts to de-
ter any that think of escaping Very
many of our men work absolutely by
themselves They have always worn
plain, clothing with nothing to distinguish
them from the ordinary laborer.
Occasionally men have become intoxi-
cated while out working. In every case
charges have been brought against them
and they have served time for the Of
Tense
Since 1906 the proceeds turned into the
state treasury from Washington county
for prison labor have exceeded the COM
bined total of the other 10 counties The
sum paid to the state from this county
has increased five fold within three
years.
The real benefit has come from the
fact that men have had a chance to help
themselves and their families AS a rule
they save their money to help those de-
pendent upon them at home. In this way
the force of the misfortune has been
somewhat tempered to their families
which have been enabled to buy food and
clothing.
The policy of trusting the men has won
their confidence for they do not feel
that we are eager to show our authority
by ferreting out the least infraction of
prison discipline. Our efforts to make
their imprisonment a little less hard are
appreciated. We learn some of the causes
which led to their confinement In many
Instances by inspiring confidence In dis
couraged men we have helped them to
turn over new leaf.

The Hampton Court Maze

From the London Standard.
Ninety eight thousand persons have
paid a penny each for admission to the
famous maze at Hampton Court palace
this summer. the largest number for
some years. 1t is estimated that about
25 per cent of these were foreigners,
mostly French and German. During
August $4,000 people passed through
the turnstiles. For a number of years
the takings at the maze were the per-
quisites of one of the palace attend
ants, upon whom the right to collect
and retain them was conferred by the
late Queen Victoria. Since his death a
few years ago. the takings have gone
to his majesty's Office of works.
