outsider who is not familiar with
the very comfy conditions under
which the Georgetown Jail is con-
Quoted generally it appears peculiar
that the pungent smoke from the
wood burning should not have
aroused the guard or night watch
at the Jail, if such a watch is ever
kept. It has not been many years
since Judge Lore reprimanded and
fined a sheriff severely for permit
ing a Jail delivery, but public senti-
ment was with the sheriff because
of the lack of any ordinary facili-
ties to restrain prisoners, and from
this grew the steel cages now in
use, or which should be in use.
Either a new Jail should be built,
or the present jail abandoned and
a canvass tent with a guard and a
few hounds be supplied to keep the
+ prisoners in, there would be less
desire to get into thejail for a winter
rest on the part of the prisoners,
and the county would save the
board bill for their keep. Our
county boarding house, the So
called Georgetown jail should be
razed. }

JOHN F. SALISBURY has some
traits to be admired, along with
his many which have made him
well known to the people of Della
ware without exciting their ap-
plause, and one of these is his
ability as a hard fighter, and a
bitter enemy to the purpose which
he can not conscientiously approve.
His letter published in this weeks
papers of Wilmington cutting the
circular letter sent out by Willard
Salisbury into ribbons, is splendid
specimen of John F. in his most
forceful vein. He not only places
insurmountable argument against
Willard's advocacy of Woodrow
Wilson for president on the demo-
cratic ticket, but he arraigns Viii
son as a man who has never yet
supported the straight democratic
ticket, and even refrained from
voting. John F. Salisbury is an
ardent champion of Champ Clark
h,t 5 ,toF nomination for president on the
sex Colocratic ticket, and he puts up

Washington, July 14-1@Wit11am T1oF- finer is going back to Chicago and ge- ing to work"
 That was the brief announcement made today iH behalf of the man whom the senate yesterday stripped of his seat and title as junior senator from Illinois.
 Whether he will Fe-enteF politics and seek q vindication at the hands of the Illinois electorate. MT. LerdmeF has not decided. Some of his former colleagues in the senate have suggested that he seek a return to the seat in the house of representatives, which he left when the Illinois legislature in 1909 sent him to the senate. But that, his friends say, is at least two years away, as would any effort to be returned to the senate. As MT. LeTimer would have to go before the people of Illinois in a primary it is now too late to take part in this years contest.
 MT. Lorimer was out automObiing te- day. recovering the physical strength which was well nigh exhausted by his impaissioned speech in the closing hours of his official life. His clerks and secretaries spent the day clearing up personal effects

 Dead Robbed by GhouIs.
 Ghouls are believed to have rob bed the dead before they reached the morgue in La Grange. More than a dozen large diamond sets are missing from 1ewelry and though most of the dead appeared to have been persons in comfortable circumstances, a dime was the largest sum found on any of | the bodies.
 Coroner Hoffman ordered all of the bodies embalmed immediately in the early afternoon and empanal1ed jury to investigate the wreck.
 In little room above a business house in La Grange Mrs. Wilcox hid herself from visitors throughout the greater part of the day.
 Three Trains Passed Signals. Finally she said: After thinking | the whole affair over, I have decided that I was not in any way to blame | for the accident l know that the 1 blocks were set against the train. It was not that erred.
 Three trains passed the signals in violation of all rules. though 1t may have been that the engineers did not see the boards.
