Kansas City Star.
Whenever the correspondents at
Washington desire information regard
ing any question involving the admin
istration, they naturally call on the
secretary to the President OF course.
they don't leave without inquiring as
to general news.
Here is the chance of every astute
secretary. You mustn't quote me on
this" he begins, "but l understand
that a secret confer ence of the leaders
of all groups Of the party was held the
other night, and that they were unani-
nous in promising their support to the
President for denomination" Or he
confides: Il think you would be justi-
fed in writing a dispatch to the effect
that the administration has the virtual
assurance that 1t will have the sup
port of Colonel Roosevelt in the com
ing campaign" Or perhaps 1t is merely
a mysterious hint that the President
has a surprise in store that is going
to line up the country solidly for him.
Then dispatches are sent out-by
some Of the correspondents, anyhow
to the effect that 1T is understood In
administration circles" or 'it was said
today by man close to the President,
or st is believed by persons whose In
formation usually is accurate"
A secretary to the President has 5
much real information that no CORE
| spondent can afford to ignore him. Yet
| he is under constant temptation to d.
a little romancing on behalf Of his
chief. For it isn't going TO be credited
| directly to him, and only an excep-
tionally wise and wary correspondent
is going to be able to sift the whea
from the chaff in what the secretary
says--to know the facts from the sec
retarial embroidering.
It is no wonder, then, with nomi
mating convention coming on next yea
that Representative Norris, of Nebras
ka is charging Secretary Hilles will
conducting a press bureau for tn
President. All presidential secretarie
do. It is considered part Of the job q
put one over whenever the correspond

On one of those bitter, chilly morn
ings that herald so aptly our spring
Mr. Taswell turned over in bed and
began to doze. II was o'clock, and
this was the first wink Of sleep Tas-
well had as yet managed to snatch.
A violent banging on the front loor,
however, suddenly aroused him. He
dashed over to the window and opened
it.

Il want Mr.. Taswell," came the an

Il am Mr. Taswell What Is it?"
Il have an important matter which
concerns your good name and must
not let it reach other ears. Come

In moment Taswell, in his pa
jamas was at the door. The wind
whistled coldly.
WELL" replied the disturber Of
Taswell's peace, don't you think your

Most people regard Vermont as a state not very
progressive But the value of the farms of the
Green Mountain state have increased more than
pne-third. This is probably due to the Fact that
many of the farms are being bought up for coun-
try homes. The value Of Vermonts manufacture
ing products has also steadily increased at fair
rate No state in the union, however could make
more rapid progress than Delaware could do if we
took proper advantage of our resources.

OUTDOOR WILMINGTON.

VATILMINGTON does not want for outdoor
w amusement and sport this summer.
We have a baseball team, which has not done
well, to be sure, but it has shown that fine sup
port would be given 10 a club which should make
really respectable showing at the top of the sec
ond division or in the first division The local
fans we imagine, would be happy with club that
did not stay persistently at the tail.
Somehow we think it a bad advertisement for
the city to have a baseball club at the bottom. II
is strange that il seems impossible to improve
permanently the club During the last few years
various persons have tried owning club in Will
mington, but one failure follows another.
The Journal wishes something could be done TO
pull Wilmington from the bottom, and we believe
that something will be done. There is great in
terest no tonly in the home nine, but in the
clubs in other parts of the country which have
their friends and admirers here. Altogether base
ball furnishes much amusement.
Wilmington this year was honored with the
meeting of the crack marksmen from all parts of
the country. They have just left us. Much inter-
est was aroused in their contests. We have
nourishing gun club which brings this city more
or less before the lovers of that kind of sport
This city is really the center of marksmen.
During the summer so far there has been con-
siderable doing at the Country Club, tennis and
golf matches and other games which bring strang-
ers to the city and thus help Wilmington, keeping
its eye before the public.
In a few days the annual races at the Gentle
mems Driving Park will be held, and some splen-
did trials of speed may be expected. The mid
summer races have become a feature in the out
door life Of the city. The grounds are comfort
able even in the warmest kind of weather Noted
lovers Of horse racing gather here during the meet.
The Yacht Club is one of the organizations CT
the city which should have a rosy future. Will
mington has advantages for all kinds of aquatic
sport There are many boats on the river, and
there seems to be a reviving interest in water
sports. The Wilmington Yacht Club has made a
good beginning and we trust that it will prosper
so that fine club house may be erected. The
club now has good quarters, and its possibilities
are unlimited.
There are other sports and clubs of various
kinds about the city, members Of which are en-
joying the open air life of the summer
Altogether Wilmington is much more fortunate
than many other cities during the summer.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. THAT
United States Senator Penrose and
State Senator James p. McNichol
prompted the investigation as a poll
ical move, and that before il was be-
gun Penrose had threatened to use tho
Catlin commission unless he used
his influence to wean Mayor Reyburn
from the candidacy of Recorder of
Deeds Ware for the mayoralty, was
the charge made by Director Of Public
Safety Henry Clay, who appeared to-
day before the Catlin Senatorial Com
mission which. intends to "Lexow" the
municipal departments under Mayor
Reyburn's administration. Clay an
nounced his willingness to answer any
questions asked of him on the stand
but demanded that copies of the
charges which are to be made against
him be given to him in advance.

commission with the permission Of

committee is composed of friends of
one of the political factions of this
city and has been called here at the
instance of Senator Penrose and Of
James p McNichol one of your mem
bers, in the midst of a political cam
paign to aid that faction. This is
borne out by the fact that recently, in
an interview which Senator Penrose
sought with me. he urged that it was
my duty and in my power TO have
Mayor Reyburn prevent the candidacy
of William S. Ware for mayor. He
further stated that If Vare's nomina-
ton was not prevented, grave danger
would arise of criminal action against
many persons. Such was to be the
result if L. the subordinate officer, fall
