Editorial Opinion
PRAIsE FOR sENATOR puPONT.

Smyrna Times.
United States Senator Henry A. du-
Pont is coming in for a considerable
share Of praise for his attitude in pre-
venting the establishing of a criminal
reformatory near Mt Vernon" the
home and grave Of George Washington.
A memorial was presented to the Sem
ate in December last by Senator du-
Pont who promptly followed its pre-
sentation with a resolution which he
had prepared and which he introduced,
calling upon the District Commission
ers, In case such selection for a site
of the proposed reformatory had been
made ito report to the Senate the To-
cation thereof giving its approximate
distance from the home and grave Of
George Washington, and also to re-
port TO the Senate the reasons for such
selection.
Senator DUPONT venerates the sacred
spot OF "the father Of our country and
takes the ground that TO put a penal
institution there would be most un-
fortunate" and Inappropriate "The
prompt action which Senator dupont
took in the natter says the journal
Of Labor" of Washington, d. c., lis
in keeping with that innate patriotism
which for so many years inspired him
on numerous battle fields to risk his
life In defense OF his country's flag.
and for which he has been specially
hOnored by the Congress Of the United
States. who awarded him a Congress
sional medal, for most distinguished
gallantry and voluntary exposure to
the enemy at a-critical moment at the
battle Of Cedar Creek 2.
II is doubtless a source Of pleasure
to him that in his later years as Sem
ator OF the United States he has had
an opportunity to defend from indirect
vandalism even the environments of
Mount Vernon and the tomb Of Wash
/ ington from the proposed location in
/ that Potomac washed peninsula of a
/ penal institution
The resolution introduced and re-
marks made thereon by Senator du-
Pont resulted in the bringing TO halt
the selection of the proposed location,
and he deserves the thanks of the
American people for the part he has
taken to make impossible the consum-
nation Of what otherwise would have
been an abominable outrage"

TAFTS VICTORY.

THE passing of the Canadian agreement by the
Senate on Saturday is large victory for Mr..
Taft In his fght for reciprocity he met opposition
in unexpected quarters The insurgents had been
bowling about trade agreements and lower duties
and it was supposed that they would support the
President in his reciprocity fight
Most Of the insurgent newspapers in the west
have done so. But the chief insurgent leaders,
headed by LaFoette, fought the treaty II is be-
leved that their antipathy to Taft was the chief
cause of their attitude They did not want the
President TO receive the credit that would come to
him because of the enactment Of such a law
The insurgents overshot the mark, and they
have lost considerably They have laid themselves
open TO the charge that they arc sectional faction
more intent upon uprooting Taft than upon leg
islating in broad-miuded manner for the inter
ests Of the entire country.
No one claims wonders for the Canadian treaty.
Il is regarded beginning in the steps to be
taken toward proper revision of the tariff
Mr.. Taft has not been playing politics in the
matter. He called the extra session assuming the
political risks that would come with the Demo-
Gratis in power in the lower house
His victory is remarkable in that on the ques-
tion he smashed party lines and support came to
him from his political opponents.
The opinion is now held by most business men
that with the passing of the Canadian agreement
lHS Dcoi Hiih6 OohSi~oo Soh w 10 ~ "~Joui" Luz
the Democrats are not likely to agree TO this. They
want further agitation of the tariff, which will be
useless in practical effect Any bill that they might
force through, even if il had the approval of the
President, would be merely tinkering. Better il
would be to await the fling of the information
COW being gathered by the tariff commission so
that any future revision may be made lines
more or less scientific.
That is what the handling Of the tariff ques
tion will have to come 10. The people are be-
coming weary of tariff making by Congressman,
most Of whom frankly confess that they don't
know anything about the subject.

MIR. UNDERSTANDS BOOMERANG.

DERHAPS those who agtated the movement
4 against Dr.. Wiley in the hope that he would
be ousted wish that they had not played with
fire Attorney General Wickersham probably re-
grets by this time that he caught in the trap.
Public opinion has been expressed so strongly in
favor of Dr. Wiley that if by any chance he should
be removed, Mr.. Taft would have a situation on
his hands far worse than the Ballinger muddle.
There would be no let-up
In fact the friends of Wiley seem determined
to push the matter it is. They are trying to
have the Remsen board investigated. 1t appears
that the eminent professors got great deal of
money for their services and expenses. The Rem
sen Board has cost the government a large figure
1t overruled DR.. Wiley by permitting the use of
benzoate of soda as preservative but il upheld

in connection with this to note that the Prussan

been dropped the light will he shed on the entire

A DOVER SHOT AT US.

Dover Index, (Dem.)
Wilmington is supposed to contain a
large proportion of the most intelli-
gent and progressive citizens of the
State. but like I'm most cities, there is
unfortunately a lack of civic virtue or
interest Many of the so-called better
citizens are engrossed in money max
ing and refuse to take the time or The
trouble necessary to aid in the right
government of the city They do not
care who controls nor what graft or
crookedness goes on If they are left
alone
How many citizens of Wilmington
have really studied the problems of
municipal government and the pro-
posed solutions; How many have fol-
lowed the Investigations, reports and
discussions as to other cities in this
and other countries that should be Of
interest TO them; For years Whining
ton was governed from Dover, where
az every session of the Legislature Of
ficers and commissins we're iegislated
out Of Office and others legislated in,
Now. except for few important things
that may affect the State, we care not
one-rap whether Wilmington elected a
Republican or a Democratic Mayor.
We confess an interest in the Pub
lie Utilities Commission law enacted
for Wilmington at the last session. of
the Legislature. and under which the
Mayor will appoint the commission
We hope 10 see an able, honest and Sc
far as possible, non-partisan commits
sion appointed, because this is the first
test Of such a law In Delaware.
We hope the newly elected Mayor
may be independent and honest as well
as fearless enough to give Wilmington
a good clean administration; but
whether his administration is good oi
bad, Wilmington can never be lifted
out of the slough into which it has
fallen until its citizens are aroused e
the necessity Of studying existing con
ditions and seeking a remedy, and w
believe with Governor Wilson, of New
Jersey, that that remedy is govern
ment by nonpartisan commissions.

NEW NE WIS
OF YES TERDAY
A PRESIDENTS REMARK ABLE FEAT OF MEMORY

Robert G. Ingersoll first won ma
tional notice as a brilliant orator by
the speech which he delivered at the
dedication of the Arlington national
cemetery, the speech which he began
with the frequently quoted sentence:
"The past rises before me like a
dream" That speech has become his
toric, and so has the Memorial Day
address which was delivered in the
same cemetery by James A. Garfield,
then a member of Congress, in the last
year of President Grants second ad-
ministration. BY students of oratory
and of literature it is looked upon as
one Of the best examples of Garfields s
ability both as a speaker and as a
master Of the English language.
when Garfield was invited to de-
liver the address he gladly accepted
the invitation" said the late William
II. Hunt, of Louisiana, Secretary Of
the Navy i'm Garfeld's cabinet and af-
terwards Minister to Russia, "but he
kept putting off the preparation of the
address, and at last the evening pre-
ceding Memorial Day arrived, and not
a line of the address had been com
mitted to paper or even thought out
Garfield was much occupied in the
early part of that evening with Ger
tain Congressional duties. He was free
at about ten o'clock. Then he went to
his study and began the preparation Of
the address that he was to deliver on
the morrow. 1t was not completed un-
til two o'clock. Then Garfield left the
manuscript upon his study table and
went to bed, asking that he be called at
seven o'clock. He was called at that
hour but he did not get up. He fell
asleep again, and when he was aroused
about an hour later he was much an
noyed to find that he had oversight,
for the ceremonies we're to begin at
Arlington at half past nine. While he
was dressing he asked that a cup of
coffee be brought to his room He had
just finished dressing when the coffee
came. He drank it almost at one gulp,
went to his study, gathered up his

A FINE OPPORTUNITY.

THE interest taken in all parts of Delaware
i in the Public Utilities Commission of this
city is remarkable. The eyes of the state
on the Mayor, and it is hoped that he will ratify
the act of the Legislature creating commission
by appointing commissioners in sympathy with
the law and its purposes. Unless the commission
is composed of men of this kind, il will be use
less and we might as we'll have none.
One trouble in Delaware has been that in the
appointing of most commissions there has been
a lack of balance. The Commissions are too lop-
sided There little variety of interest thought
represented Men are appointed commissions
who have not shown any manifestation of interest
in the subject which the commissions sup
posed 70 deal with. A number of men in Whining
ton have shown considerable public spirit as
regards progressive matters. They get scant rec
ognition from the political powers that be- Cranks
we suppose they considered by some. But the
ultra conservatives and standpatters are always
represented and largely represented
The Mayor has chance TO break the shackles
There is considerable speculation as to whether
he will do so.

Opinion is much divided as to the use Of voting
machines at elections. The Election Board OF
Chicago has just decided to purchase 1000 voting
machines for use in that city at a cost of nearly
a million Of dollars. Two hundred machines are
TO be delivered within six months and the re-
mainder will be secured within two years. New
Jersey has practically discarded the machines
Some years ago the state bought large number
of them and they we're tried but the voters have
beeen voting them out, and New Jersey has a
pile of machines on its hands. 1t might dispose
of them TO Chicago, but that would spoil the
chance of securing rich pickings out of a million

manuscript, and was hastily driven to
Arlington, where he arrived just in
time.
AS he stood upon the platform, his
eye swept the distant city Of Washing
ton, and then rested lovingly upon the
graves of the soldiers. He was, as you
know, an emotional man, very sympa-
thetic. Without taking the manuscript
from his pocket, he began his ad-
dress; and it seemed to those who
heard it as though he had been in

the long-extended rows of headstones
in front of him,
THE official stenographer of the
Senate, Colonel Murphy, who was, l
believe, the most rapid stenographic
reporter in the country at that time,
reported Garfield's address steno-
graphically. After the ceremonies were
over, Garfield asked Colonel Murphy #
he would call upon Mrs. Garfield and
compare his shorthand notes with the
written address. 1t was the first init
nation Murphy had that Garfield had
committed the address to paper
Later i'm the day, Mrs. Garfield re-
ceived Colonel Murphy in Garfeld's s
study She held the manuscript copy
of her husbands address while Colonel
Murphy read from his notes.
He read for some time before she
stopped him; there was one word IN
the stenographic notes which did not
appear in the manuscript Two other
interruptions for similar cause were
made during the reading by Murphy of
his notes. When he finished, Mrs. Gar
field said that, with the exception of
three interpolated words, the manu-
script copy of the speech and Colonel
Murphys stenographic report were
Identical

later to explain the discrepancies he

words would add to the force Of what

that Garfield had a wonderful verbal

through the mere act of writing it.

Many people care nothing about tho city govern

some friend get position They don't really care
much whether the streets good or bad, and they
have little or no civic spirit
The question Of whether VIC shall have good gov
