VIE REGRET to notice signs Of S

wv r NEGKEI 10 notice signs of serious dis
turbance among the journalistic brethren
OF Dover. There are more of the brethren there
than in any other town of the size in the country
we venture TO say, but we have no idea that they
will come to blows. The Republican is offended
because the State News intimated that the Re-
publican told a blank-whatever that may mean
and didn't stick TO it, The Republican jumped at the
conclusion that the State News meant that lie"
had been told, but we believe that the blank space
stood for the word truth, because no one unless
he had taken ride over of the rough roads
of Kent county would ever suspect that the Re-
publican told anything but the truth. The Repub-
lican rightly says that it is not supposed to act
a detective
The modest editor Of the Deawarean has also
been explaining that there is no war between
Mr. William and Mr. Willard and his statement
will be accepted for its face value. The commo-
tion has become great that the editor of the
Sentinel has acted on the suggestion of the Dover
News by using blank spaces for words and his
editorial columns have been blank. The editor
of the Index seems to be harboring for the last
week Christmas spirit We would humbly suggest
that our Dover contemporary withdraw for awhile
from playing the Kent county game of peanut poll
tics and enjoy the Christmas spirit after which
they can all join with the News in its scheme TO re-
generate New Castle county

RIGHT BALANCE IN EDuCATIoN.

~ ASTORS of some Springfield, Mass, churches
- are delivering sermons on civic righteous
ness and naturally the public schools as the great
training grounds of the young, receive consider
able attention in these discourses. The Rev. DR..
Hall, one of the noted preachers of Springfield
expressed the view that the schools are too scen-
tho as they give the children a material training
and education without sufficient moral purpose
to preserve the right balance and TO develop the
highest citizenship.
This is the criticism frequently made against
the public school system. Education that pertains
only 10 the material is half education and an ILL
rounded man or woman is the product. The de-
Tense of material education is that the Young
should get their ethical or religious education in
the home or in the Sunday school, but the truth
is that most of the education the young get is in
the ordinary every day school. Many of them do
not attend Sunday school and precious little edu.
cation of any kind do some children get in their
homes.

EDITORIAL OPINION.
The JudicIal APPOINTMENTS.

Inc JuulClhi Appointments.
Chicago Tribune.
Ihe presidents judicial appointments
Will give wide satisfaction. The honor
done Mr.. Justice White is richly de-
served, and even the minor matter of
his political affiliation is most gratify-
ing as emphasis upon the nonpartisan
spirit which has governed the presi-
dent In his choice OF judicial timber.
Ihe appointment of Judge Mack to the
commerce court is another happy ap-
plication OF the same important prin-
ciple, by which in both cases proved
ability, experience, and high character
have easily outweighed other consid-
erations.
Commerce Commissioner Knapp's fit
ness for place on the new Commerce
court is not fairly to be questioned,
and the rumored elevation of Com
missioner Lane to take his place as
chairman Of the commission would
complete very satisfactory readjust-
ment OF duties. The commission has
been strengthened by the appoint-
ment Of Prof. Meyer of the University
OF Wisconsin, one of the ablest and
best Informed students of commerce
and transportation in the United
States.
The remaining appointments, while
perhaps, less conspicuous, indicate the
presidents careful consideration OF
the broad national interests involved
IN the performance of what is one OF
the most important and difficult tasks
which have come to him with the pres.
idential office.
Ihe most momentous questions that
nave come before our highest tribunal
since the civil war will be answered
by the bench now made up, while upon
the judges selected for the new Com.
merce court will fall the chief burden
OF organizing on efficient lines a new

ALDRICH FOR TARIFF COMMISSION

NINTH the announcement by Senator Aerich.
w of Rhode Island that he favors a perma-
nent tariff commission a great impetus is given
to that movement
Behind the idea of a commission and that of re-
vsing the tariff schedule by schedule, as proposed
by the Iowa senator is the belief that the tariff
should be removed from politics as far as is prac-
tical in order that business shall be relieved from
the vexation and uncertainty which comes from
constant tinkering and meddling with the tariff.
1t has been assumed that the standpatters were
not IN favor OF a commission for fear that some
of the special interests which are we'll protected
in the schedules would lose their grip if the max
ing OF schedules we're TO be placed under the di-
rections of commission. OF course it is true
that Congress would have the last word, and that
the Commission would be clothed only with ad-
vising powers, but no political party would be
likely to oppose seriously the recommendations Of
a permanent commission in whose judgment the
country had confidence.
The fact, however, that Mr. Aldrich, in answer
TO questions asked by Senator Beveridge stated
his cosition as favoring a commission shows that
the chief of the standpatters realizes that a per-
manent commission would be the best way of
solving the perplexing problem of tariff revision.
The chief thing in the way of such permanent
commission, which would be more than the tariff
board that Mr.. Taft has created is the supposed
opposition of the Democrats who, flushed with vic
tory and believing that their attitude on the tariff
brought il about, will not be willing to lose the
tariff as an issue. They think they shall be able
TO win the next election on the tariff question.
There is nothing reasonable however on which
they can base such belief for Democratic tinker
ing with the tariff has been followed by Demo-
cratic defeat If the Democrats should take up
the permanent tariff commission plan, it would
soon become accomplished fact and the busi-
ness men and manufacturers of the country as
we'll as the workingmen would hail such a solu-
tion of the tariff problem with satisfaction.

One of the Kent county Democratic newspapers
recently boasted that the Democrats as a result
of the election had secured control of more than
100 road overseers if we remember correctly.
This, 1t seems to us, is too small a number If
they had about FIVE hundred road overseers eating
up the money of the tax payers the roads of Kent
could be so much improved that they would be-

If residents would use at their homes small
boxes for the depositing of mail matter it would
be great convenience to the letter carriers and
the postohice department. inexpensive recepta-
cles can be secured at little cost and Postmaster
Jester is naturally desirous that these should be
purchased and used. AS it is in most cases the
letter carrier is forced to wait until his ring or
knock at the door is answered. and sometimes
there is a considerable delay all of which could
be avoided if boxes we're used. When the house
holders realize the great help that such boxes
would be TO the letter carriers, we have no doubt
that more of them will be employed

MIR. WHITES BIG CLAIM.

IT HERE is nothing small about the claims of
u Mr.. Robert c. White the defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress who has given
notice of his contest for the seat OF Congressman
William H. Head. When the subject was first
mentioned some Of the Dover Democratic news
papers had their doubts aroused concerning the
ability of Mr.. White to upset the election because
the majority for Mr. Heald on the face of the re-
turns was about 1000.
One of the Democratic newspapers frankly de-
clared that Mr.. White did not make a good
enough run to justify him in entering contest.
Evidently TO his own satisfaction at least, Mr..
White dismisses all these fears and makes the
astonishing claim that about 5000 votes we're illeg
ally cast for Mr. Head at the recent election.
To use an expression of the street, that is going
some" One half of the alleged fraudulent votes,
fraudulent because they we're purchased, it is as
serted, we're negro votes and the others we're
those cast by white hoaters.
Mr.. White, it is stated, has engaged four attor-
neyS to manage his contest but we doubt very
much whether a dozen could make good his
claims, although that number Of lawyers might
add to the general confusion surrounding the
case
However the contest of Mr. White may throw
light on the political situation in Delaware IF
anything near 5000 votes we're frauduently cast
in Delaware, should like to know it. The very
extent of the claim will make some people believe
that Mr.. White is not serious in his contest be-
cause they have never before heard claims so ex-
tensive concerning the number of alleged pur-
chased votes. There ought TO be some interesting
hearings and some lively testimony when Mr.
White presents his evidence in support of his con-
tentions. No doubt Attorney General Gray viii
be on the alert to secure evidence that will enable
him to prosecute some of the six thousand.
press report says that President Taft is to
take care Of his Ohio Republican friends who have
lost their jobs because of the turn in the political
scale. The majority in Ohio for the Democrats
was more than 100000 and the Presidents policy
therefore seems to be TO reward the losers. If he
had any desire to reward the winners there would
be number of fat jobs coming to Delaware, but
for some strange reason the President seems to
ignore absolutely this State in making appoint
ments.
