- oNGREss has adjourned The Republican Sen
- ate did splendid work in the public interest
The Democratic House spent most Of its time play
ing politics in the hope being able to discredit
the Republican Senate and the Republican admins
tration Practically all of the beneficial legislation
which became effective was initiated by the Repuh-
licans Little IL anything of value came from the
Democratic side only for the fact that President
Taft stood manfully between the people and the legis
lative work done by a coalition Of Democrats and Pro-
grossvo Republicans, nosiculabe harm would have
be done to the American people.
In short, tho work Of the House simply served to
emphasize tho wcll-estabshed fact that the Demo
Gratis never have known how to administer the af
fairs Of Federal Government Whenever they
have had an opportunity to do Il. they have made a
sorry mess of IT, and tho transactions Of the
Democratic House only have served to make more

PUNISH THOSE RESPONsIBLE,

Y 9TH the civil and the military authorities should
~ make a searching and impartial inquiry into
tho causes which led to the shooting up Of Dobbns-
VILE suburb Of New Castle by regular soldiers from
the State Rife Range Heretofore the people of Del
aware have trouble due the fact that we
have military post within borders. That fact
makes IT all the more imperative that searching
investigation be made and that those responsible for
the trouble be apprehendod and punished by civil or
military law.
AS a rule regular soldiers we'll behaved and
their presence in community is not regarded men
ace Il is evident however, that there is an element
in the coast artillery companies engaged In tar
get practice on the State Rife Range that is in need
OF suppression by the military authorities BY the
same token, Il may be said there is element in
New Castle that should receive the attention Of the
civil authorities With the two Of the law
working together for the public peace and welfare
little difficulty should be experienced in preventing
repetition OF the disgracefu episodes which cumi-
mated in the Dobbinsvie shooting We have no doubt
the officers of the military eager as the civil
officials to work with that end in view. II is to the
interest Of all that there should be feeling Of amy
between the soldiers the reservation and the civ
illans in the country surrounding IT, The best way
to maintain those desired relations is for the military
and the civil authorities to reach a complete under
standing that they will act in hearty accord upon all
matters and incidents affecting such relations.

Editorial Opinion
SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.


From the Princess Anne Maryiander.
Or. Marshall Price, State Health
officer, is stirring himself making in
vestigations as to sanitary conditions
existing in public institutions. The
outbreak Of typhoid fever at the
House of Correction was the sugges-
ton for such investigation. The work
Of looking into the sanitary arrange
ments of both public and private in
situations is a timely one, especially
al this season when typhoid fever is
usually prevalent Indeed it is a pity
that the Investigations did not begin
sooner as an ounce Of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.
The action of DIR. Price ought to
have a stimulating effect upon all
local health officials. The recent out
break of typhoid fever at Cambridge,
which appears 10 be under jntrOl,
might have been prevented Who
knows but that in our own county
towns and institutions. conditions
may be laying the foundation for
similar outbreaks of disease.
The suggestion, too, is not only
worthy of consideration by local
health officials. but should serve as
warning to private householders as
well. Premises. should he inspected
periodically and kept clean. Il is a
late time to begin Investigations after
diseases have begun their ravages.
