WHY SO BACKWARD7
From the Wilmington Morning New
Repl.

From the Wilmington Morning News
(Rep)
It Is remarkable that the Dover In
deX and the chairman of the Demo-
cratic county committee OF Kent Mr..
James II Hughes. who claim TO have
positive knowledge Of Democratic
attempt to use money Illegally In orr
dor 20 influence votes at the recent
election should be so slow I'm getting
at the root of the matter
IT. will. be recalled that shortly be-
fore the election q story was printed
with n great flourish of trumpets IN
one of our city newspapers to the ef-
feet that q man distributed money
which-he claimed came from the Dem
ocratic National Committee and
which, as the index now puts it. was
sent here IN the interest Of Mr.. Sauls-
bury. And the story It may be re-
mombercd reclted how Mr.. Hughes
with blazing indignation, forced the
persons who got the money to return
10 to the man whose name is not mem
toned We don't know who the man
is Mr.. Hughes and the indignant
Democrats do or should know.
The index Gays that az the proper
time I'VE shall state In whose hands
the money was placed" When is tho
proper time? Was not the proper
time Immediately after the fieet-footed
Mr. Hughes discovered that some one
was trying to corrupt the election?
Why wait for so long period to find
ont whether or not the Democratic
National Committee conspired to use
money to corrupt the sanity Demo-

done, If the statement of the stranger
Is true.
Where has Attorney General Gray

the Attorney General was so much

the mention Of whose name his friends
think strikes terror into the minds of
political evil doors, has lost a splen-

lRIBUTE TO OLD PASTOR

From The Milford Chronicle.
It is not given to many pastors to
serve one church for third of a
century and at the end Of that per-
lod still remain forceful. strong and
Jealous IN the work for christianity
and the upliit OF the world, yet this
Is exactly what the pastorship Of
Rev. II J.. Bunsiein of the First Pres
lytorian Church of Milford, has
placed upon the pages of the history
cf his life Under his administra-
ton the church has grown from a
struggling life into a vigorous, pur-
p0sClul christianizing influence for
good, and his labors TO come through
he continued years, are the better
for having had the full ripening ex-
pericnce OF a successful pastOrate.
For thirty-twO years this man has
served as pastor to those who have
loved and respected his teachings and
his labors for the uplift Of the people.
There may have been, and undouht-
edly was, differences of opinion be-
tween the pastor and the people at all
times, but happily they have all been
not Of a fundamental character, and
nothing but the highest regards and
pleasure exists at the end of a third
Of a century etween congregation

continued pleasure in a prolonged

From the Wilmington Morning News
Rep).
AT present the indications are that
the Democratic fight over the election
of a United States Senator viii equal.
If not exceed I'm bitterness the wrang-
les OF the party in the past
As the time for the meeting Of the
Legislature approaches. II becomes ap-
parent that unless there is a change.
If no on candidate is able to force a
binding caucus, there viii be q dead
lock at least temporarily
II the open plan is adopted 1t means
that each candidate will have to take
his chance Of securing a majority Of
the Legislaturc ana tho friends of no
ono candidate make any such claim.
ANY candidate or any faction with~a
fcw votes may be able TO hold up an
election, and this apparently IS what
some of the Democratic LADDERS are in
tent on doing.
We may therefore see repetition
OF tho scenes and Incidents during rhe
Addicks days; although the venom
among the Democrats exceeds that
displayed a few years ago by the quar-

The Measure Of His Mind.

AhI nAIdouAt VI his NilNNs
From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
Mr.. Willard Salisbury, Perennial
Candidate for United States senator,
is part owner Of the Dover Della
warean, and he has absolute control
Of its editorial policy. What it says
is what he says, and the character Of
the Delawarean's editorial expressions
is a just measure Of the character of
Mr.. Saulsburys mind. We get an ac-
curate view therefore Of Mr. Sauls-
bury's mental and temperamental pro-
cesses in the following editorial taken
from the Dclawarean:
Some Questions fer Samuel Bancroft Jr.
Did you vote for Woodrow wilson's
electors at The last eloctiong
Did you vote for Mr. Monaghan for
Governor at the last election.
Did you vote for a Democratic presi-
dent ia l90sg
Nhat business have you attempting TO
advise Democrats as TO political action =
AS owner OF the Every Evening paper
did you not only a few years ago keep
Josiah Marvcls name out of your col
umns entirely
Why do you now allow him and his
less intelligent brother. David IT,, TO use
and practically determine what shall APP
pear in your news and editorial columns
OF political natureg
Mr., Samuel Bancroft, Jr., is not a
candidate for United States senator,
and therefore he is not an issue in this
campaign. It makes no difference
what Mr.. Bancroft did, at the last
election or previously, either as to Mr..
Wilson, Mr. Monaghan or Mr.. Marvel,
and only a mind utterly warped by
personal interests and morbidly infiu-
enced by personal spite could conceive
such impertinent puerilities as are
embraced in the six questions asked by
Mr.. Salisbury in his Dover organ.
But that is not the worst of Mr..
Saulsbury's offending in propounding
the questions we quote from his pa
per; for in the last query he deliber-
ately and wantonly seeks to insult
gentleman who has modestly yet
worthily borne a distinguished part in
Delaware affairs, and who is now do
ing no more than exercising his iegiti-
mate right, nay, even duty, in trying
to secure a proper selection for United
States senator. Does not Mr. Sauls-
bury utterly discredit himself by this
brutal attack, and is a man who can
descend to such methods fit to repre-
sent Delaware at Washington in any
capacity?

"Paste This In Your Hat" Is the
Heading Attached to This Com.
municatiOn by the Author.
} the Editor Of THE TIMES: I:

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
AS The Times appears to be friend
ly to the Government clerks, write
this in their interest. Every clerk,
every relation and every friend OF
clerk should know and remember the
names Of the thirty-fve congressman
who voted against the clerks seeing
them In their behalf. These Congress
men who cared so little for the clerks
from their districts that they voted to
wash their hands from them and leave
them to the tender mercies OF perhaps
an unfriendly chief clerk. 1t is to be
noted that the Democratic leader I'm
derwood. and the Republican leader,
Mann. both voted against the clerks. It
is to be hoped that the clerks will send
to their homes the names of these Con-
Rressmen and ask their relations and
friends to send to Congress some man
who will not consider II beneath his
dignity to look after the interest OF his
constituents who are in office. II the
idea of Congressman not looking out
for the interest of the clerks Is carried
out logically they should not take any
interest in the appointment of the dis
trict attorneys marshals, etc. The
names of Congressman who voted to
the interest OF every Government clerk
are as follows-and remember the
names Lest We Forget"

Favors the Lincoln Highway As the
Most Suitable Monument to the
Memory of the Emancinator.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Two million dollars has been appro-
priated for a memorial to Abraham Lin
coin In connection with which two prop
ositions are now before Congress. One
is a magnificent Greek temple Of art be-
tween the Washington Monument and
the Potomac. The counter proposition,
the Gettysburg highway, which has
been indorsed by Speaker Clark, the
Grand Army of the Republic, represent
atives of organized labor, the National
Grange and the Good Roads Congress.
Should the latter proposition be accept
ed, II is hoped that this great national
highway will be extended to Manassas,
inasmuch as the crowning achievement
Of the life work OF the great, lovable
Lincoln was the holding together the
North and the South, a national high
way from Gettysburg to Manassas, in
conjunction with a memorial bridge
across the Potomac, would be typical of
his services to the whole people as well
as to that OF reunited country. A me-
mortal highway extending from the first
battlefield in the Old Dominion State to
the greatest battlefield of the "big war;
In the Keystone State would not only be
a credit to the nation in her homage to
great President, but would typify
union ''one and inseparable. now and
forever" 1t would mean a tangible
bond between two, great sections, typ
ical and historically true.
Moreover, this memorial highway
would be Of practical benefit to the la
borer, the tourist, the merchant and
other people who go to make up the
rank and file that would travel over this
road. JOHN A. CROWLEY.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The population of the District of CO.

in order of population: % Nevada,

has both a star and big stripe on our
flag. These States have eight votes in
the House of Representatives and
twelve in the Senate, giving them
twenty in. the electoral college, a pow
erful political influence to help collect
and dlsburse over a billion dollars OF
Federal revenue a year. The District
of Columbia has neither voice nor vote,

THE CASE OF OLSON.

Judge Hanford of the United States District Court
of Washington, is being roundy denounced in GER
tain quarters because he annulled the naturalization
papers of a man named OLSON, Socialist. If we
understand the case correctly the judicial action
not taken because OLSON was Socialist but be-
cause he announced himself opposed to the Con-
sttution and the institutions of this country.
Within the same week naturalization papers were
refused to an Italian by New York authority be-
cause the applicant said in event of war between
this country and Italy he would take up against
this country. Yet nothing was said about that ru-
ing.
The rulings are alike in spirit, and both on
par with the orders issued in several cities that
the red flag shall not be carried by marching bodies.
The red flag stands for destruction of all forms Of
government 1t is the banner of Anarchy. Olssons
objections TO the Constitution were not theoretical
not partial, with view of amending it; not against
the letter of that document but against its spirit and
against the Government of which it is the organic
law.
This nation must always remain the asylum of
the prosecuted the harbor of free speech and free
thought but that does not carry with it the PROPOSE
ton that it must be made the spawning ground of
ideas and parties which, if permitted to grow, would
destroy the very institutions whose protection and
freedom they now claim.
If man does not believe in this nation, its insti-
tutions, and its flag he certainly has no business here

JUSTICE AND FADS.

"Richeson seems to be standing up we'll under
the aleniss ordeal" is the report of the authorities
having Richeson in custody:
THE prisoner is absolutely sane, but give the
faliensts time and they will make him insane is the
opinion of the jail physician
After reading of the methods used to ascertain
the mental condition of Richeson the Massachusetts
murderer, is inclined to agree with the author
ties that it will only take little time to pester Richie
son into frame of mind where he will appear men,
tally queer Up to date about the only tests omitted
have been to make him roll peanut around block
and, blindfolded to thread a needle. What all the
tomfoolery of hopping on one foot with half his
clothes off and walking string stretched along the
floor has to do with Richesons being enough to
commit horrible crime but too insane to suffer the
penalty is beyond the horizon Of the average mortal.
There are times and occasions when one is tempt
ed to advocate the return of the hardheaded, safe
and-sure system of justice that prevailed among the
cow-rnen Justice should be tempered with mercy,
but it should not be thwarted by fads
