ware to create discord and dissen'
sions in the Republican party oi
Delaware, to. present all the false
statements which have been circu-
lated about the political methods
in Delaware in a set speech, and
give it such dignity as that method
would afford. The people of Della
ware remember clearly the political
debauchery which kept the Demo
crats in power for thirty years, and
know well that the present Outcry
is only the cover by which they
hope to again ride into full control
by the same methods. If there has
been misconduct on the part of
any senator, the United States
Senate has full and ample power 10
ferret it out, but in every case dur
ing the past two years where the
validity of a seat has been ques-
toned, the senate has upheld the
member sitting, and naturally even
those cases, the Democrats have
proclaimed all guilty, even after
they have had full opportunity to
present their side of the case and
prove their charges to fair minded
men. Senator dupont has nothing
to fear from an investigation is our
candid belief, and the present out
cry made upon the assertions of
Willard Salisbury, which were
based upon matters which happened
under the old Addicks days in 1904,
that debauchery of the franchise
prevailed during the last election,
can have no foundation. A Demo
cratic Attorney General combed |
the state over and could not find
evidence which would be taken in
the courts upon which to convict,
except in four cases. aud those
cases were exceedingly doubtful.
and one of the paid witnesses used
by the Attorney General is now in
all as a self confessed periurer.
There is no need for the Republi-
,ans to fear the present attacks.
Tor conduct a defensive campaign.
The Democrats of Delaware are
vulnerable to an extremely critical
Iegree, as will be shown later in
he campaign

the crystalization of public senti-

BILL TO CONTROL PILOTAGE.

Members of the Pilots Association of
the Delaware Bay and River are much
exercised over a bill proposed to bring
the pilots and pilOtage of the country
still further under the regulation Of the
| Federal Government, which has been in
troduced into the House by Mr.. Hardy
and referred to the Committee on the
Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
The bill proposes that all pilots serving
on vessels entering ports of the Atlantic,
Gulf and Pacific coasts of the United
States shall be examined and their fit
ness for such service classified, appoint

as the Board of Supervising Inspectors,
with the approval of the Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, may establish. "

four classes, receiving respectively $4,000
year where the total tonnage engaged
in the foreign trade is S5, 900, 900 or more

HISTORIC BOOK PRINTED.

'Recollections of Dover in 1924" is
the title of fine book lust issued by the
Delaware Historical Society. tits from the
pen oflate Judge George Purnell Fisher,
long since dead, but the grandfather
of Mrs. Henry Ridgely of Dover, to whom
he wrote the paper when she was a child.
The book is edited and prepared for print
by the Rev. Joseph Brown Turner of
Dover. Judge Fisher, it is well known,
and as the late chief justice put it, twas
a link connecting historic Delaware with
the men of to-day. He was a veritable
cyclopedia of knowledge of eminent Della
wareans of the last generations. He
was born October IS, 1917, and the
book now published was written in his
year.

Ex-PREsIDRNT ROOSEVELT is now
an open and avowed candidate fol
nomination for the Presidency on
1he Republican ticket, and from
now on President Taft will be fight
ing for delegates in the open against
his former friend and chief. After
the oft proclaimed statement that
he would not accept the nomina-
tion. his present action has caused
many who have been ardent admir-
ers of Colonel Roosevelt to hesitate
and question whether his present
attitude is one that should call for
continued confidence in the man.
There can be no question but that
Colonel Roosevelt is one ofthe great
men of the world, but by reversing
himself, he has spilled blot of ink
over the best pages of his record.

EACH living member of the Fifth
and Sixth Delaware Regiments
during the war of the rebellion
should be proud of the defense OF
themselves as members Of those
regiments by Senator du Pont,
against an attack by Hon. Charles
Francis Adams of Massachusetts,
an ex-member of the U. S. Army,
who opposed pensions being grant
ed to these men who took brief
part in that war Senator du Pont
clearly showed the value Of their
services, and that many of them
underwent great privations, while
others died from disease contracted
in their service OF the country. He
is a true Delawarean. and unlike
recent exhibits made by those who
claim to be proud of Delaware, he
has pointed to the patriotism ard
loyalty OF her men, rather than to
iiscredit for political purposes the
sair name of the state.

Gambetta's Table.

There is !; curious story told Of the
table at Which Gambetta wrote. A
previous owner, General Lahitte, min
lister for foreign affairs in 1910, dis
missed his confidential servant because
he believed he had stolen Il large sum
Of none" il LOCO frame banknOtes.
Years afterVard. when the table had
to be repaired, the joiner employed for
the work found the missing bundle
of banknotes between the mahogany
board Of the table and the dra wers be-
low. They had lain there unnoticed
for fourteen years. Unfortunately the
story does not go on to say that the
poor servant and his mistaken master
were alive at the time Of the discovery
and that the ones character was clear
ed and the others confidence restored.

A Pulling Trick.

Take a piece Of writing paper about
three inches square and with lead
pencil, the point of which has been
dipped in water, draw a circle, a
square, triangle or any other geo.
metrical figure. Put the paper care
fully on pan of water, letting it float
and leaving the surface dry. Carefully
drop water on the surface of the paper
until the space within the figure is
filed. The moistened pencil lines will
keep it from flowing outside the figure.
Now place the point of pin over some
point in the figure near the edge. The
pin point must penetrate the surface of
the water, but must not touch the pa
per. At once the paper will float around
until the pin points directly to the cen
ter Of the figure. See II you can ind
e1t why 1t does this.

Her PROPERTY.

Now and again things happen on the
football field which go to add to the
gayety of the nation. On one occasion,
for instance. during a certain league
match in the north, the referee some
how managed to lose his whistle. There
was not another whistle to be found,
and it seemed that the game would
have to come to a sudden and inglori-
GUS end, until the referee hit upon an
ingenious scheme. He produced a
latchkey from his pocket and managed
to tootle merrily enough on it till sud-
denly. as he approached the touch line
a woman's shrill voice was heard ex-
claiming:
Fired, come here at once Where did
you get that latchkey"
As he listened to the guffaw which
went up from the assembled crowd
that referee was the most sheepish
looking man on the ground, and as he
thought of the curtain lecture looming
ahead his heart became like lead with
