EDITORIAL OPINION

days of the gas mans corrupt strug-
gle for political supremacy in Della
ware, and that does not speak well
for him; whether he.was a dupe or a
tool. or worse, will probably never be
known, and he must be taken on trust.
The one distinct and absolutely
distasteful fly in the ointment is
Theodore Townsend. for State auditor.
Mr.. Townsend is redolent of the Adj
dicks saturnalia, and has time and
time again, during the Addicks days
and since, demonstrated his willing
ness and capacity to profit by the
very worst Addicks methods. He is
the one pronounced blot upon the
ticket, and we cannot understand how
such generally excellent selections
came 10 be married by his presence.
And what makes his nomination more
surprising is the fact that he Is the
only candidate on the ticket who was
named by reclamation.
The presidential electors are all
good men. but as their duties will be
merely transitory, and wholly per-
functory, their personal quality is Of
minor consequence.
Taken as a whole. the ticket, as we
have said, is a most excellent one, ana
the Democrats cannot hope to have a
walkover, by any means.
The platform? What does it mat
Ter what politicians promise before
election? The performance after cleo
ton Is more to the point; and as to
that we can only trust that the char
acter Of most of the men nominated
Will afford a sufficient guarantee OF
generally capable and faithful public
service

MAY APPEAL TO THE HAGUE.

q REAT BRITAIN probably will carry the Panama
~ Canal administration controversy to the Hague
Tribunal for final adjudication. That is indicated by
inspired editorial in the London Times The Brit
sh contention is that the canal act constitutes vio
ation Of the HayPauncefote treaty Discussing that
contention and asserting that the United States has
failed to keep its treaty obligations the London Times
says
owe shall appeal to the arbitration treaty Of 1908
aud request that the whole controversy ana the proper
construction Of the scope and bearing Of the canal
treaty be referred The Hague for its decision Sus-
gesons had been freely made in certain quarters that
the United States not likely 10 entertain any re-
quest Of the kind This is blow TO the whole princi-
pie arbitraton-which absolutely refuse to con-
template unless and until il is delivered No Govern
and nation have more loudly preached resort
10 arbitration than the Government and the people OF
the United States. II is hardly creditabe that after
preaching &C. others they should cyncay decline TO
adopt II where IL concerns themselves refusal OF
this kind would inevitably create a certain indspos-
tion the part of all self-respectng nations to en-
ter into contractual arrangements with State which
reserved itself the exclusive right Of Interpreting the
measure Of its obligations"
We feel sure that the Federal Government has no
desire to violate any treaty rights Of Great Britain.

Panama Canal for the benefit Of those who built it

meet Great Britain in The Hague Tribunal or else

GENERALLY EXCELLENT TICKET


From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
Not for many years have the Re
publicans Of Delaware named as
strong a State ticket as the one nomi-
mated by them at Dover last Tuesday.
The head Of the ticket, Senator
Charles K Miller, is exceptionally
strong in those qualities that will
make him valuable to his party at the
polls, and valuable to the people
should he be elected as the States
chief executive. He is a business man
Of proved ability and of unimpeach-
able integrity. He is personally popu-
lar with all classes Of citizens, and
tho a very wealthy man, no one would
discover that fact from his manner,
which, is markedly democratic and
winningly sympathetic He has mad
some experience in public office, hav-
ing served one term in the State Sen
ate, and being now one of the hold
ing over senators from this county he
is also a member of the Water Com
mission of this city, both of which
positions he will no doubt resign in
the event of his success at the polls
in November. The Democrats will
need to put up their very best man to
have any chance at all 10 defeat Mr..
Miller.
Harry K Fooks for Heutenant-gov-
ernor was happy selection. He Is a
clean. straightforward business man
who has won pronounced success in
his own affairs. which will inspire
confidence in his ability to promote
the common good in the discharge OF
his public duties.
James M. Satterfeld, for attorney
general IS a successful lawyer Of high
professional and personal reputation
and the important interests Of the
State Of which he will have charge, il
elected. will be in capable and con-
scientious hands.
No better selection could have beer
made than Robert =. Robinson for IN
surance commissioner. He is capable
Trustworthy and industrious.

Nothing would be pleasing to J. Frank Alice
and Dr. Caleb r. Layton, two of the most despicabie
political renegades produced by any community
than to be able to the Progressive Republican
movement instrument TO enable them TO turn Del
aware over to the Democrats. The understanding
is that they already have been in negotiation with the
Democratic machine leaders and that they have assur-
cd them not only that Delaware will go Democratic
this Fall in the Presidential ticket, but that it also is
their purpose to put the Democrats in control OF
every branch OF our state and county government
We doubt that Alice and Layton will be able to de
liver the goods" Most Of the Progressive REPUBLICANS
merely tolerate their leadership; many are Disguised
TO such an extent by that they have abandoned the
third party movement altogether, while many others
viii abandon Il as as they become convinced by
events that the Observation-Disclosures conspiracy
really exists In other words the friends of colonel
Roosevelt IN Delaware arc too honest and independent
to permit Alice and Layton to deliver them to the
Democrats

THE REPuBLIcAN STATE TICKET

From the Dover Delawarean.
Nothing is to be gained in politics
by Understanding the strength of
the enemy, and we therefore believe
it the part of wisdom for the Demo-
Gratis to recognize the fact that the
Republicans have nominated rather
strong ticket. There are weak spots
to be sure, and there is plenty Of room
for Improvement. but taken all in all
il seems better than the average Re-
publican ticket and fairly strong
Comment in these columns on the
individual candidates is deferred It
will probably be our duty to discuss
some Of them frequently during the
campaign
This ticket makes good nominations
by the Democrats all the more imper-
ative. II is easily possible for the
Democrats to name better ticket.
