ONE Of the most ridiculous features Of the after

ent effort of the Democratic leaders show that the
the Republicans did not use money in the

The best possible reputation of such Democratic
tions the record Of Mr.. Gray Attorney General
and Mr. Wolcott as chief deputy Attorney-General.
No who the records of those two Democratic
officials with respect bribery in elections will find
anything Of terrorzing nature. Instead. they will
discover that although between twenty and thirty men,
practically all Republicans, have been prosecuted for
alleged election corruption by the Attorney Generals
Office during the time that Mr.. Gray and Mr.. Woloott
have been the head it, there have been only
convictions in all three counties in four years What
Is there in such record that to make the heart Of
either Republican a Democratic corrupuonist
quake with fear? It shows Of two things: First,
that there was foundation for the persistent cry
of widespread Republican corruption; or second, that
the Democratic Attorney General and his deputies
we're woofully incompetent 10 discharge the nqusi-
torial and other duties to the Offices they hold.
The simple truth is that the Republicans did not
frain from the money in the November election
because Of fear they entertained of either Mr. Gray
or Mr. Wolcott. but because they do not believe in
the use of money to influence votes. Prior to the
election Colonel Edmund Mitchell chairman Of the Re-
publican state Committee, gave positive and public
assurance to the people Of Delaware that under no
sort to the OF money in the impending election lie
not only lived up to that promise but he to it
that his subordnates In the party also lived up to it,
Nor was it any hardship for them to do Rather,
IL the natural inclination Of who believe in
honestly conducted elections, free from the faint OF
bribery or any other form OF corruption.
Instead Of discussing the which impellod the
Republicans to refrain from the of money Demo
Gratis who profess to be in favor Of honest elections
would be engaged much more proftaby they to
inquire Of Mr.. Gray and Mr. Wolcott why It is that
they fail TO investigate the persistent humors that in
the lower hundreds in New Castle county and in all
sections of Kent and Sussex countless the Democrats
spent thousands of dollars for the corrupt purpose
of influencing venal to vote the Democratic ticket
The fact that those two officials are Democrats

PROTECT CRABS AND GAME.

THOSE who are Interested in the conservation of fish
and in Delaware should recommend to the
Legislature that stringent laws be enacted for the
protection OF crabs. and also for the protection of
young rabbits and game birds Unless something be
done, the Delaware crab in a commercial sense will
be destroyed and il will be useless go the fields

Both Maryland and Virginia are taking steps for

there that there has been such destruction Of
the delectabe shellfsh that something must be done
or important industry will be ruined Here
in Delaware the situation is From a
commercial point Of view the Delaware crab
is no longer factor. Grabs have been destroy

other purposes, until today Sussex county it
Is dhcult to catch them in sufficient quantities to
supply the home market Those who have given
thought to the question and who are familiar with past
and present conditions say that if proper conservation
measures be applied and adhered to, three or four
years the Delaware streams in all three counties
and particularly in Sussex, will abound with crabs and
they will be to their old-time position in the
markets Of the East and bring to our State much
enue.
So much for crabs Now let us pass to young rab-
bits and brids all three counties the present hunt

an with boy about five years
old beside her. His questions and
antics attracted general attention. He
wanted to walk up and down the aisle;
he wanted to stand on the seat; he
wanted to sit on her lap; he wanted
peanuts and candy. Then he asked
where his papa was; when they would
be home; why the man opposite had
no hair on his head; why the next man
to him was fat. Y
1t was all very innocent until the
boy walked to the front Of the car
and kicked man on the shin. Then
the man stood up and roared at the
woman:
That boy is a nuisance, madam"

"You see it and know IT.!
