HARRINGTON Republicans have no objection what
w ever TO the preservation OF the ballots that will
be cast at the approaching city election. All they ask
is that the ballot be taken central deposit
tory Immediately after the count has been made aud
that proper guard he placed them until it has
been decided that there will he contests That is
the attitude Of the Republicans Notwithstanding they
arc aware the law oonemplates their destruction im
mediatev after ,he count has been completed and the
returns made un knowing that far as they are af-
fected ne election Will be honestly conducted. they
have nothtus to lose and everything gain by the
preservation of the ballots. They should insist upou
one thing however. and that is that all the ballot
boxes be taken central place on the night OF the
election day and placed IN the OF trustworthy
guards representing principal political parties.
The Democratic committee evidently thought it
would put the Republican organization in embar-
RAISING position IL protested against the instruc-
t,on Of the Department OF Elections that the ballots be
DESTROYED Immediately after the count The plain In
timation was that the instruction covered Republ-
can design 20 practice and to destroy
the evidence Of such corruption While II was clear to
the Department Elections the City Solicitor and tue
Republican Committee that there was legal war
rant for preserving the ballots and machinery pro-
vded for contest and recount there was no desire
10 stand between the Democrats and the preservation
Of the ballots r. H. Brlany chairman OF the Repuh-
lican First District Committee made that fact clear
at conference OF election commissioners and Repub-
iican and Democratic leaders on TUESDAY night He
not only said Republicans object to the pres
ervston OF the ballots but added thai the Republican
organization endeavored TO get through the Legisa-
ture an providing for such preservation and Il was
defeated by the Democrats
Therefore, taking everything inte consideration the
Democrats have not won much giery political cap
itai by raising their balios-burnins issue.

VAT wonder II the Democratic organization in this
w city will TO point with pride TO- and make

Board OF Heahg We doubt IT,
That record particularly the part OF It relating TO
tho garbage contracts, is maodorous that even

out of the city treasury $4,000 and $780,
600 Of the tax payers money by awarding garbage
moyal contracts to high and favored bidders the
clusion OF low bidders who we're not favored by the
Democratic members OF the board
That the scheme OF the Democrats to make such
raid the city treasury defeated was due to the
prompt action taken by Mayor Howell City Solicitor
daniel o. Hastings. the Republican members Of City
Council and the new Republican members Of the
Board OF Health They blocked the eeventh-hour
scheme TO raid tho treasury, upset the contracts,
fought the favored contractors TO a standst IN the
courts and awarded the garbage removal contracts
honest and sensible lines.
In that instance alone Mayor Howell and his
associates did splendid and necessary piece OF
work for the teneh OF all the people. That fact has
not been forgotten The feeling OF appreciation still
exists the tax payers. II to convince
them that Mayor Howell and his Republican associates
practical of the public interests
protectors Of the public treasury
The garng iniquy Of the daring designs OF the
democrats in the letting OF those garbage contracts
to the high bidders is shown by the following facts
IN the FIRST garbage collection district the Demo-
cratic Board OF Health awarded the contract to william
j. Winchester for se4SO Notwithstanding the that
John W. Thompson offered to do the same work for
s5s4o
In the second district there were four bids as
follows: Martin F. Keogh se.4oo Walter W Jack
son. $4,000: the Wilmington Transfer Company
$4,000. and Aonzo G. B. Anderson s11.7oO. The
tract went TO Keogh. Democratic politician

went to Lehane.

We invite Wilmington tax payers to those hg-
closely. They reveal Democratic methods Of
serving the public interests and protecting the public
funds contributed by such tax payers II It had not
been for the determination OF Mayor Howell and his
associates to protect the public certain garbage
would have gotten their up to the ell

for their Journeys to the continent or

There is reason to believe that the

The papers here and abroad are so
full Of tax, tariff and budget talk that
il will be OF interest TO learn how
crowned heads meet this demand of
their states and government.
II the Kaiser should agree to pay
the tax on his income as King Of
Prussia and from his personal prop
critics. which his government now de-
mands TO be prepared for war by
being fully armed" he will not be the
first monarch to share the financial
burdens borne by his subjects. Only
recently the King Of Siam empowered
his minister of the interior to collect
taxes on his estates and houses
Throughout his kingdom similar to
those paid by private individuals
Thus King Maha Vaiiravndth consid-
ers himself as being on the same foot
ing as any Of his subjects in regard
% the payment of taxes Possessing
considerable landed property. he Is
willing to give his government a share
Of his income as a contribution toward
The cost Of the maintenance Of lis
staCe.
IL Ia an historical privilege that the
King Of England is to be exempt from
payment Of taxes. and it is inconcciv-
anle that any British chancellor OF
the eAchequer would have the temerity
To- propose that any change should be
made In the constitutional preroga-
tives of the sovereign AS theoretically
al taxes In Great Britain are levied IN
the kings name for the purpose of
carrying on his government, they hold
in England that TO tax the kings in
come for the purpose Of defraying the
kings expenditures simply would be
taking money from one pocket to put
It into the other.
Well. this may be one way of look
ing at il, but in my opinion II Is not
the right way. II Is perhaps for the
purpose of this method that everything
in Britain is "the kings There Is
the kings navy, the kings ships, the
kings army, the kings this, that and
the other On the other hand, look Al
the kingdoms of Germany. There moth
ing Is the kings everything is
royal" The royal courts. the royal
schools. the royal troops. etc. DO
make myself plain? II is one thing
to talk of the King Of Prussia's army,
bu, quite another to say "the royal
prussian soldiers" One is the prop
erty. the establishment belonging to
an individual, the other that of a whole
country In one case the man who
rules is supreme. in the other the ma

But the exemption from taxation IN
Britain extends no further than the
