arguments, they do him an injustice
not to submit it at once for public

should be subj to the same re-

of the persistent and positive asser-

trary it needs explanation coupled
with evidence of his fitness that will

The friends of Mr.. Salisbury, es
pecially the newly converted ones, are
particularly severe upon those who
are still unconverted, and they are
fond of insinuating that the opposi-
ton to him must be founded upon
some personal difference or aversion,
apart from considerations Of a legit-
mate nature relating to the public
welfare. They forget that their own
motives may be open TO suspicion
based upon the contingency that Mr.
Salisbury, under a Democratic Presi-
dent, may have some federal patron
age at his disposal. However, we do
not attack their motives, but we mere
" remind them that they are in no po-
sition to attack ours. Their motives
may be worthy; we are willing to con-
cede it, and we know that ours are as
disinterested as the motives back of
the discussion of any public question
can be. What we want, and all we
want, is that the best equipped man in
the State, as to ability, character and
experience, shall be sent to represent
us in the national Senate. We do not
believe Mr.. Salisbury is that man,
and for that reason we are opposed to
his election.

EDITORIAL OPINION

Rural New Castle County are agitating
the ACCESSIBILITY of constructing Joint
county and city public buildings.
The county building is inadequate
to meet the needs of business of the
rapidly growing city and county, and
the old City Hall is inadequate and
worse than inadequate for the citys
needs.
Both city and county must have
new or enlarged buildings as soon as
such buildings can be constructed.
hence the suggestion that the present
Court House site be made a park and
the city and county jointly purchase

by Tenth, Eleventh, French and King
streets and erect an up-to-date COM
modious public building, architecture

What Has He Done7

From the Wilmington Sunday Star,
Ond)
The friends of Mr.. Willard Sauls-
bury claim that he will have enough
votes in the next Legislature to insure
his election TO the United States SEN
ate. That may be true and present
appearances favor the prediction; one
of these appearance significant
one-is that quite a number of promi-
nent Democrats who have heretofore
opposed Mr.. Saulsbury's aspirations,
are now supporting his claims to the
great Office he covets. They say he
has worked hard for it for years, and
that he is entitled to it by reason of
his protracted service to the Demo-
cratic party. He has kept the party
together, they say, by spending his
money in its behalf when there was no
one else who would do so; and anyhow
they want Harmony with big H, and
the only way to get it, according to
their notion, is to make Mr.. Salisbury
senator.
This sounds like the excuse of the
girl who married a sutton to get rid of
him. Furthermore, is it not rather
low ground on which to base a claim
for one of the greatest honors in the
gift of the State? The Senate is full
Of men who have spent money to get
there, but we have not heard that sor-
did argument put forth as validating
their titles to the seats they hold;
quite the contrary, and the Senate has
lately been investigating some of those
titles, on the ground that money was
used to secure them.
Our objection to Mr.. Salisbury as
a candidate for senator is not that he
has spent money to keep the Demo
cratic party together; that may be
true, or it may not be true; and if it
is true, the money he contributed may
have been spent in a perfectly legiti-
mate way. The point we insist upon is
that no other claim is put forward in
his behalf on this score, and this
claim is not enough. We ask, and
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1912-12-26

we are justified in asking, what mas
Mr. Salisbury done for the State that
indicates craftsmanship on his partE
What instance in his career can be
cited of his ability, except ability as
a corporation lawyer, that would just
lv entitle him to consideration as
candidate for representative Of the
people in the highest Legislative body
Of the land? Has he ever been en-
gagged in any public vocation except
that Of seeking to be senator? Has ne
ever been personally active in any
public movement for the peoples bene-
fit? Did he ever manifest any interest
in new charter for this city, or in
codification of the State laws, or give
one moment of his time to any move
ment for the public welfare? He has
lived here all his life, and surely it
ought to be possible to mention some
act of his that affords evidence Of his
fitness for high public Office, if such
evidence exists.
We do not concede that ofiice-seek-
ing, however skilfully and persistent
ly it may have been practiced, consti-
tutes a valid claim to a seat in the
United States Senate. We ask; What
has Mr.. Salisbury done to warrant
his pretensions to consideration in
this connection? Surely no one will
dispute the pertinency of this ques-
ton. 1t is one that every citizen Of
Delaware is entitled to ask. But
when this question is put squarely to
Mr.. Saulsbury's advocates, they say:
80, he is an able lawyer" But that
is not sufficient. There are lots of
able lawyers, but not all of them are
fit for the Senate. There must be
other qualifications, and these quail
ications are the subject Of our in
quiry just now, and they are also the
subject of inquiry of thousands of
Delawareans who are as good Demo
Gratis as are Mr.. Salisbury and his
friends.
Let us have a catalog of Mr.. Sauls-
bury's virtues as a representative OF
the people. We are entitled to that

GAME SCARCE IN SUSSEX.

From the Delmar News.
What has become of all the game
in Sussex county?" is the question
being asked by the sportsmen from
every section. A few weeks before
the opening of the season they re-
ported the game was plentiful. but as
soon as the law was off they began
TO make complaints of a scarcity of
game. In former years those who
made a business of hunting almost
daily were able to bag three and four
rabbits and from eight to fifteen birds
every day, but now they claim that
they are hardly able to run across a
covey Of birds and seldom see any
rabbits. The only solution given for
the scarcity is that rural folk inst
prior to the opening allow their dogs
10 run at large both day and night
and as a consequence they devonr all
Of the young rabbits. Moreover. il is
contended that just a few DAYS he
fore the law Is OF many of the farm
ers, whenever they see any birds or
rabbits Kill them claiming that they
had just as we'll have them as towns
people and city gunners, who fiji the
wood for the first week or so. II is
q common occurrence to hear packs
Of dogs running in the woods of Sus-
sex five and six weeks before the sea-
son for game opens. and this is done
most of the time so the dogs can got
in practice hunting before the first
days cunning. There is only one wav
to remedy this, the sportsmen claim.
and that Is by an act of the legisla-
ture prohibiting the running of dogs
! az large during the summer and fan
at the time Of the brooding season.
lt Is claimed that hundreds of birds
are killed b rabbit dogs, which are
allowed to rove the fields and wood.
and whenever they come across n
flock Of birds too young to ly and get
out OF reach they make way with the
whole flock. Bird dogs, Il is contend
ed, also kill many birds during the
brooding and Matching season.
