TO CATCH SUCKERS"

J. Frank Alice, one OF the lead
ing lights in the Progressive
Party in lower Delaware, is cred
tied with saying that the State
ticket was simply put up to catch
"suckers", and added "ls for u.s.
we shall vote the straight Demo
cratic ticket.
In referring to Gus" it is pre-
sumed that Mr.. Alice refers to
the other men in Kent and Sussex
Counties who are using their et.
forts to defeat the Republican
ticket, andtu the State over to
the Democrats.
To substantiate the above
statement it is only necessary to
read the editorial utterances OF
the Democratic press of the State
many of them eugolizing the mer
selected for the various offices on
the Progressive ticket, and ad-
vising Republicans to support
them in November.
If the men back of the Pro-
gressive movement IN Delaware
were working for the success of
this great National movement,
ike the loyal Republicans of
Maine, they would not be willing
to throw away the opportunity
of carrying the State for Roose-
velt.
But after all that has been
done and said by the men who
have inaugurated this move
ment-comes this consoling fact;
there are only a few self thinking
men in Delaware who will be
guided by the Allee-Layton com
bination, or the lavish praise be-
ing handed out for their Slate
ticket by the Democratic press.

CONSOLIDATE OUR SCHOOLS
UNKEL IKEY BoDD.

Mr.. Editor-After seeing so many al
ticles in the papers, regarding the inalbili-
tv to secure enough teachers for al the
schools, will you allow me to make few
remarks on the subject? One OF the
greatest troubles is, there are so many
teachers in the rural schools. This should
not be. These schools, as a rule, are a
starting place for young teachers just
starting, or for older ones who made a
failure in the town schools.
Mr.. Spaid has worked so faithfully for
the consolidation OF these schools. Why
will not the County Commissioners see
and do their duty, also? Have they the
right 20 continue the state appropriation
for these schools?
Just take St. Georges Hundred as an
exsmple-the towns very close toge ther,
where the children ought all have the
benefit of graded schools. Yet they con
tinue the rural school, simply because it
is less trouble than to send the children
to town. In some cases the children are
much nearer the town school than they
are to the county school. II any Uue
asks to be transferred to the town districts
the answer is, Eve can not, it makes our
taxes too high"
Yet in nearly all rural districts there
are men never assessed-it might give
the clerk some trouble to collect the tax.
Aud there are children of school age,
who never 60 to school, unless there is
picnic.

THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

Republican primaries we're held
throughout New Castle County on Satur-
day and were featured by some of the
hottest contests the party ever has known.
The fact that 9, 184 votes we're polled in
the county not only indicates the great
interest among the voters, but also shows
that the Republicans are far ahead on the
registration, the Democrats with their
keen contest have poled in round figures
1900 votes in the county the previous
Saturday.

Besides alleging that the Weather
Bureau appropriations are greatly in
excess of the bureaus actual needs,
Berry charged that his former chief
compelled the employees of the 200
weather bureau stations throughout
the country to procure from CONNER
cial organizations and other sources
nattering Endorsements of Moore's
administration of the bureau. These
Endorsements were used in convinc-
ing Congress Of the unwisdom of
curtailing Moore's requests for new
stations. Another charge related to
the publication by Chief Moore of a
book on meteorology for his personal
gain. 1t was charged that the data
was collected and compiled by govern
ment experts during their official
working hours and with government
materials. Chief Moore, instead of
dedicating the book to the govern
ment. had it published by a private
firm and put it on sale at SO per vol

1--WE play for money? Preposte-

Congressional Club, made up of the
wives and daughters of senators and
representatives Indignantly deny the
charge that bridge whist is played at
their clubhouse and that on several
occasions games have broken up with
members in tears, sadder but wiser
as the result Of heavy losses. The
story was whispered into the ear of a
newsgatherer by one of these losers.
But the charge is denied, so how can
a lady's word be doubted. Here is
what Mrs. C. R. Davis, wife of Repre-
sentative Davis, of Minnesota, says on
the subject:
Wives Of members of Congress
have trouble enough planning where
they are to get money to run their
homes and buy food and clothing with
out giving though to gambling. If
there are many of them who have
money to throw away at the gaming
table, have never discovered them"

pairing a vigorous protest against the

tlement at Magdalena Bay as a naval

quietly ahead with negotiations with
Mexico. These negotiations are said
to have Just been comnleted.
