LICENsE QUESTION AGAIN.

~K> HE wet or dry" question again seems to
4 be tormentng the political leaders of the
lower counties Many Of the Kent and Sussex
newspapers are speaking Of it, and among the
Democrats that question, in Sussex county espec
ially appears to have entered into the nomination
OF candidates for the Legislature more prominent
ly than the fight for United States senator.
The anti-license forces have been issuing warn
nps TO the voters 10 be on the watch for the Leg
islative candidates. The vets want resubmission
and the "drys" are opposed to IT,
If the candidates for the Legislature in these
counties we're nominated by direct primaries the
matter could he fought out at the primaries, but
with the present Convention system there will he
always more or less doubt as TO whether the vets
or drys control this or that member Of the Leg
islature At any rate il looks as il the election
which should be free from the liquor subject, will
be complicated by il and among large number
Of voters II will probably be the paramount issue.
This situation The Journal thinks, is due to
the bnsdering manner ip which the matter was
the Legislature. 1t is settled tact
t6sft thJ iBe6pfe have right TO vote on license,
right obtained as the result of Republican agi-
tation for local option for years. The Republican
State Convention recently called attention TO this
fact But that is as far as the Republicans as a
party 60. The convention rightly absolved mem-
bers of the Republican party from consideration of
license as political question.
During the last session of the Legislature Sena-
tor Drexler proposed bill which would have set
tied the license problem for some years at least.
Il provided that the question of license or no
license should be voted on at regular stated in
tervals every FIVE or six or ten years The time
could have been easily agreed upon That would
have definitely taken the matter out of partisan
politics.
The Drexler measure failed, and as conse-
quence we have the license issue before us in rural
New Castle county and commoton in the lower
counties, especially in Sussex over license. And
We shall continue to have the agitation until some
such measure as that proposed by Senator Drex-
Ter is enacted.

WoNT EFFECT nELAWARE.

PEAKlNG of insurgency, the Dover Republi-
- can thinks there is not much of it in Della
ware as the truth is, according 10 the Republi-
can. that the Delaware Republicans Repub-
licans because they are opposed to the Democrats
We presume on the same reasoning that the Della
ware Democrats are Democrats because they are
opposed TO the Republicans There is great deal
of truth in this view of it we admit, especially
in the lower counties.
Delaware Republicans are not at all worried by
talk of andslides throughout the country. that is,
not worried about theirown state Should the
landslide be heavy in the remainder Of the country
the Republican majority in Delaware would in
all probability be larger than ever.

A GOOD MAN.

MR. THEODORE F. CLARK, whose death hap
Il pened the other day, was one Of the best
type Of citizens for which rural New Castle county
is noted
His life was long and active one in which the
interests Of good citizenship occupied a large
share. He was highly respected by his friends and
aeghbors. He was for many years active in af-
fairs of State and church and the esteem in which
he was held was manifested by his election 10 the
Legislature several times and the important posi-
lions he held in the field of religious endeavor
At the time Of his death he was the Republican
candidate for Auditor Of Accounts, having filed
that position very accepably for the last two years
his denomination being made according 10 the
custom of the party. He was faithful legislator
a good presiding officer He was a successful far
mer Of the higher sort
His death is greatly regretted, for men like him
arc not common.

COLONEL THEODORE TOWNSEND.

HE Republican State Committee will fill the
n vacancy on the Republican ticket caused by
the lamented death of Theodore F. Clark, and Col
onel Theodore Townsend, the second choice of the
State convention will undoubtedly be selected
The naming Of Colonel Townsend would give Kent
county place on the ticket. 1t is perhaps super
Huous 10 say that Colonel Townsend would make
an admirable candidate. We hardly think that
any one would care TO dispute this fact
Colonel Townsend is highly deserving of the
nomination and his election to the Office would be
but a small reward for years OF valiant service
he has rendered TO the party.
III men we're rewarded in politics according TO
their merits, Colonel Townsend would have been
honored long ago. But too often il happens that
persons undeserving are placed on tickets because
of selfish political manipulation. How frequently
do see a man who has enjoyed high honors in
a party suk and lack interest and become in
different because he cannot have his own way.
With such men gratitude is something foreign
to their thoughts.
Selhshness exists everywhere, but probably it
is nowhere so much in Evidence as in politics Any
man familiar with the political play can count those
who have waxed fat off politics only 10 sting the
hand that fed them. II is not necessary TO men
ton names
With perhaps few exceptions no Republican in
the lower counties has rendered greater service
to the Republican party in Delaware than Theo-
dore Townsend. He is the proprietor of one Of
the very best weekly newspapers in Delaware and
in the country for that matter. In season and out
Of season his newspaper has been at the service
Of the party but not as a shackled serviIe organ
Of vicious personal criticism and narrow-minded-
ness as some bitter and selfish Office seekers and
exploiters would have newspaper to be, although
IN their little souls and fiat pocketbooks they would
shirk any responsibility for the success Of the
paper, financial or otherwise Colonel Townsend
through the Milford Chronicle has spoken out in
no uncertain tones and always for progress
His criticisms have never offended his opponents,
have never left bitter sting, have never de-
soended 10 personal pettiness or malice His news
paper the Chronicle has been and is Of the class
which realizes that newspaper is not properly a
vehicle for venting personal spleen or for pro
noting selfish interests, and venture the opinion
that among his large and increasing list Of sub
scribers are numbered hundreds of his Demo-
cratic friends.
II a.newspaper owner wants ohIoe-but we think
il better if he did not--the recognition of Colonel
Townsends services are extremely tardy.
We are confident that the Republicans of the
State and many of his Democratic friends would
take the greatest of pleasure in casting their bal
lots FOR Theodore Townsend for Auditor Of Ac-
counts. His majority should he very large

ballot for Nr William H. Stayton for the congress

be too of that, for several of the Duck Greek
delegates have declared that the Stayton votes
came from New Castle county
The New Castle delegates who voted for White
we're not especially for White, but they we're
against Mr. William Salisbury They would have
voted for any one in preference TO Mr.. Sauls

JERSEY CITY JEWS COMPLAIN

Jersey City, N. J.-Mayor H. Otto
Wittpenn, Of Jersey City, summoned
the members of the police board, Chief
of Police Monahan, all the precinct
captains, Captain James F. Larkins,
chief of the detective bureau and
Police Judges Joseph F. Farmer and
John Wall Queen before him to meet
delegation of Jewish residents who
had complained that much Jew-b batting
was going on in the city and the
authorities were not really trying to
put stop to it.
Several Jews recited instances of
alleged street assaults at the hands Of
swift-footed boys with nimble fingers
and Of corner loafers.
Chief Monahan said that an inves-
tigation of one complaint led him to
believe that the Jews who were abused
purposely went out to look for
trouble.
Mayor Wittpenn said that he thought
there was less Jew-baiting in Jersey
City than in most other places. He
promised to do his best to put a stop
to the abuse of Jews on the street
and said the police would begin a cru
SADIE at once to round up everybody
who dares to lay hand On them
Some of the mayors friends think
that the compliments had been
stirred to action by Democratic polit-
icians who are trying to get Witt
penn disliked by Jewish residents.

Jews registered as laborers or artis-

to leave the province since their

Christianity with the hope that they
would thereby lie exempted from the
persecution, found that they also could
not remain there, since according to
the decision of the government, con-
verified Jew is still a Jew.
