FLY CAMPAIGN

We wish to endorse the sugges-
ton made by Prof. !Ioughton in his
article on how to rid the town OF
flies. We will approve of any such
ordinance by Town Council and
promise to carry out willingly our
part in the disposal Of stable ma
nure as requested by the Board OF
Health. @
Unless such al ordinance is pass
cd and rigidly enforced all over
town, it is Of small avail. But we
do believe that such ordinance,
properly executed, would solve the
problem.
The trouble is SO many OF us have
put up with flies so many years that
we hesitate to believe that any such
method. which is some inconven-
ience. would bring the desired re-
suit. But it is now a recorded fact
that towns and whole communities
have practically stamped out this
fly pest by methods suggested III
prof. Houghten article. And at
the same time, the "Swat the Fly
Campaign" which has become a
fad among civic associations, has
proven only temporarily effective.
1t is perhaps too late in the sea-
son to carry this idea to complete
success but it would certainly be
worth the trial and would. we be-
lieve, show what could be done in
another season, when the campaign
for cleanliness was begun in time.

POLITICAL SITUATION AS
SEEN BY EVENING JOURNAL

Willard Salisbury. Democratic
boss in Delaware and ill-starred
but unfailing candidate for United
States Senator. is counting conf
IDENTIFY upon dissension in the Re-
publican party in Delaware land
inc him in the United States Sen
ate. He and his friends entertain
the opinion that. because there is
conflict among Republicans reia-
tive to the Presidential rivalry of
President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt, Delaware Republicans are go
in" to sacrifice their State and
county tickets and enable Sauls-
bury and his henchmen to walk
away with everything, including
the Governor. United States Sena-
tor. Congressman, Attorney-Gen-
eral. Legislature and Levy Courts.
The Democratic boss and his lieu
tenants are mistaken. Nothing is
farther from the thoughts of the
Republicans. If anything were
needed to make them unite on
State and local issues, it is the fact
that they know that to fail to do
so would mean the domination of
Salisbury and his political ma
chine in all branches Of State and
county government.
In connection with the legisla-
tive situation. it may be well for
New Castle county Republicans to
take account Of stock and see just
where they stand. The election
figures from 1904, inclusive, are
illuminating. They show that il
many districts in our county the
change Of few Republican votes
may permit Salisbury and his ma
chine to triumph.
Let rs take, for instance, tn,
election Of State Senators in New
Castle county since 1904, inclusive
The First district has been safel,
and solidly Republican, the ma
jority in 1906 having been 1872
and in 1910, 1898. The Secon'
district has been almost as safel,
Democratic. In 1904 the Demo
cratic majority was 761 and i
1908 il increased to S76 When

The Minnehaha Tribe of Red

be warmly congratulated on the
action taken in Council last even

Minnehaha Band would give a
Sunday open-air concert on the

The tribe here seems ever on the

THE REVIVAL OF THE

We have had something to say
in times past about the Importance
Of the country church, not merely
as a teacher Of religion but as
source of inspiration to the farmer
and his family, whether they be-
long to his church or not to any
church. We hope our readers
have read carefully the two COM
munications in our issue OF June
10th. coming, as they do, from
country pastors in different sec
tions. who are making good III de-
veloping a new order Of things III
their localities.

bv 72 majority. IN 1906 it went
Democratic by 16. Two years later
the Democrats carried it by the
scant margin OF 6. There was rally
by the Republican voters IN 1910
and they swept it by majority OF
1913.
The Eleventh district, Pencader
hundred. is another trouble spot. 1t
went Republican by 20 in 1904; !;
Democratic by 8 in 1906, and Re-
publican by 8 in 1908 and 1910.
Red Lion hundred, or the
Twelfth district, usually goes Dem
ocratic. but the Democratic hold
upon it is so slight that the Republl-
cans. if they work as they should,
ought to capture it. In 1904 the
Democratic majority was 50. 1t
shranS to 32 in 1906. The Republi-
cans carried it by 20 in 1908, while
the Democratic Representative won
there in 1910 by the pitiful major
ity of 2 votes.
Nor is the Thirteenth district, or
st. Georges hundred. sure ground
for anyone. In 1904 there was a
tie vote. The Republicans carried
it in 1906 by 9; in 1908 by II, and
1910 by Sc.
The Fourteenth district, or APP
poquinimink hundred, is one that
keeps both the Republican and the
Democratic campaign managers
guessing at all times. 1t went Demo
cratic by &c in 1904; Republican by
40 in 1906; Democratic by 63 in
1908. and Democratic by 36 in
1910.
The Fifteenth, or Blackbird hun
dred district is almost as bad. While
the Democrats usually carry it, il
is a constant source Of apprehension
to them. The Democratic majority
in 1904 was 80. In 1906 the Repub
leans wiped out that lead and car.
ried the district by 6 majority. The
Democrats recaptured it in 1908 by
majority Of III, but that major
ity dwindled to 40 in 1910.
No intelligent and patriotic Re
publican, no matter whether he b,
a Taft or Roosevelt man. can reat
the facts and figures set fortl
above. without realizing how i'm
portant it is that all Republicans
shall stand together this year t,
hold all the legislative districts the,
carried in the last election and II
capture the close districts whicl
were carried by the Democrats il
that election.
Willard Salisbury is seeking t,
carry all doubtful districts. SO HI
may be elected to the United
States Senate. He counts upon do
ing it by the use of the votes o
dissatisfied Republicans. We hav'
said it before, and we repeat it now
that we do not believe any re
spectacle Republican desires tina
Salisbury shall climb into th
United States Senate as a result o
a quarrel in the Republican part.

athletic team tho focal point OF aH
interest. In the Swedish, English Ca
madam German and French camps the
first interest outside their own chances
of success was the observation OF the
performances and training methods of
the men who compose the AmericaIl

1t was the general opinion among
the Yankee athletes that the Swedish
people were the most hospitahlc in
the world The welcome which was
extended to the visitors from The Fin

of the American visitors. The city did
