THE DETHRONED LEADERS.

JUDGING by the expressions of those who
opposed the election of Senator DUPONT
during the wind-fest at the Hotel Richardson on
the night before the ballotng there is going to be
trouble for the Republican Organization in the
near future in Sussex county. There are Colonel
Houston DR.. Layton and DR.. Burton. They used
TO be what the political correspondent would call
powerful leaders At the vind-fest they were
leaders with few followers but that does not mean
that they will be leaders without followers in
the next campaign. Their blood is up and there
is fire in their eyes and Colonel Houston,s news
paper is breathing vengeance against what he
terms the New Castle county ring The complaint
as we take it, is that New Castle county is run
ming the Republican politics of Sussex county,
and Sussex shall be free, they say.
Now this occurs TO us TO be a strange situation
Why should the good people of Sussex throw
overheard Colonel Houston, Dr. Burton and Dr.
Layton and prefer the leadership of New Castle
county men?
DR.. Burton during the fuss at Dover attributed
the influence of the Organization in Sussex county
to the use Of money by the Organization at the
primaries. And that seems to be the general cry
of the dethroned leaders or their supporters in
Sussex. IT this is correct, il seems to US TO be a
peculiar condition. Previous to the uprosr Of words
at Dover the last time we heard anything about
the use of money in the Sussex county election
was that some of the objectors we're active
in trying 10 secure the removal Of the light sem
tence inflicted upon Georgetown man.
who was convicted of violating the election laws
But let that pass. If these dethroned leaders
permit themselves to be put in the down-and-out-
club by the Organizations alleged use of money,
We should think that they would have no one TO
blame but themselves.
Il is an old saying among tainted politicians
that they do not object to using money against
the other party, but they won't stand for its use
at the primaries of their own party. The first
thing therefore, it seems to us that the respected
leaders who want to return TO power should do,
would be to make war on any members of the
Organization that have used money in Sussex
county politics. II seems to us that a man is
very foolish who permits himself to be defrauded
by the use of money and makes no effort TO stop
It, but merely shouts out in despair Either these
men we're put out because the people weared of
their leadership or their friends we're bought
from them which,

The National Board Of rrnde.

Cleveland Leader
move has been made to inject new
life into the National Board of Trade.
Those who are engaged in the effort
are determined that this old organiza-
tion shall not only regain the prestige
and influence II once had. but become
in fact what 1t is in name. the great
central commercial body of the coun.
try
For more than forty years the Board
has been the one business body whose
conclusions ever were accepted as
representative Of the country's bust
ness sentiment. During some periods
Of its existence Il has been genuinely
influential, as when II was an import
ant factor in the establishment of the
Department of Commerce and Labor
But for several years It has not been
the power in the nation that II should
be- It's president, for some time, has
been a wealthy retired business man
of Philadelphia With the highest Of
motives, he took upon himself the fin
ancial burdens OF the organization.
Through his interest in the annual
meetings he has paid at least rs per
cent OF the expense attached to them.
And he has made them very success
ful, from the social point Of view.
Yet, as natural result, the organi-
zation has been weakened Having the
time and the inclination to look after
the affairs Of the Board, the president
has been allowed by the organizations
represented in it practically to con-
duct its affairs. It's business has been
chiefly transacted by him and a few
friends whom he has induced to share
the work with him. The result is that
II has become practically a one-man
organization. The president realizes
and deplores this fact as much as any
body.
A committee has been appointed to
report a plan Of reorganization. The
! interest of the constituent bodies, Of
which the Cleveland Chamber Of Com
merce is one, has been stimulated and
there is little doubt that the Board
will soon be placed in q higher and
more important position than II has
ever occupied. The determination Is
to make It all that its name indicates
an organization adequately represent
1 ing the immense business interests OF
the United States. Such body. broad.
minded, progressive and patriotic
would inevitably have a tremendous
influence in shaping the policies anc
directing the onward march Of th,

A WORD TO LETTER WRITER'S.

HE JOURNAL desires to remind its readers
n that il is pleased TO receive letters from
them on various topics of public interest but
such communications should be signed The Jour
nal does not insist that the names of the writers
shall be used in print, although it prefers that
communications be signed in publication The
Journal however, cannot publish anonymous COM
munications That should not be expected. II
persons are unwilling TO sign a letter, even
though they know that their names will not be
used unless permission is given, they certainly
should not expect their letters to be printed The
Journal has received several anonymous letters
some OF which are merely personal attacks upon
individuals and these of course cannot be pub
lished
The Journal tries TO be as liberal as possible in
the publication of letters and desires very much
10 receive such communications, but there are
certain rules which this newspaper is bound TO OBJ
serve itself and which our friends who write US
letters must also observe. Let there be fair and
reasonable criticism and comment for that is the
only kind that counts. The Journal wants 10 be
an open forum in which citizens can discuss pub
lie questions. They have really as much access to
the columns Of The Journal as the editors them
selves have

RELIGIOUS FELLOWSHIP

a MoNG various religious leaders there is a
n strong movement towards Christian unity,
the bringing of the denominations closer together
for more effective religious work. Most Of the
religious publ cations are devoting considerable
space TO the subject, but very significant fact
is that prominent aymen OF different churches are
putting their shoulders TO the wheel
An able address like that of Mr.. Speer at Rodney
Street Church the other evening shows the
necessity for the movement Mr. Speer did NOT
refer TO Christian unity or cooperation, but he
considered the opportunities open TO religious
workers in China and Japan where the old re-
ligions are decayng.
One can easily imagine how much greater would
Ue the efficiency of the missionaries if they did
not represent various sects, but stood for united
movement
Thousands upon thousands of dollars are being
expended in missionary efforts with telling effect
Those not in touch with the matter. would be sur
prised to know the great progress that is making,
and Mr. Speers address was revelation in that
respect
A more united movement would make the effect
much greater
The Episcopal General Convention inaugurated
a movement to bring together the various denomi-
nations into closer fellowship. Such we'll known
men as Mr. George w. Pepper of Philadelphia are
at the head Of it.
Bearing on church unity, a remarkable meet
ing was held in Philadelphia the other day when
representatives of the Episcopal Church met the
executive committee of the Worc Alliance of
Reformed Churches and advocated the unity move
ment It is highly probable that the result will
be something more than talk To layman it is
difficult to understand why there should be so
many denominations, especially when many of
them are separated from one another only by
paper walls. Many Presbyterian for example
would have trouble in telling the differences be-
tween his denomination and the Methodists AMI
vice versa Even the preachers talk but little about
dogma and doctrine. Everywhere in the business
world the tendency is toward combination and
efficiency. Think of the money wasted in keepine
up unnecessary churches, money which could be
used for practical religious purposes
