PARTIsANSHIP AND
PTBLIC SERVICE

From the Dover State Sentinel
II is sincerely TO be hoped that the
people of this State, especially, Kent
and Sussex counties. have learned the
lesson that these successive failures
of the public service appear to en-
force. The fault is not altogether
in the ineffcency of the servant IL
lies really I'm the lack of public spirit
Of the citizenship Of the countless
speaking OF II generally, IT Is a poor
cheap article The constant COM
plant about taxation would indicate
that the people Of these two counties
were poverty stricken, and could not
afford 10 pay the taxes needed TO prop
crly sustain their local governments.
That is not true. Then, TO accept
the complaints, and criticism, OF pub
lie officers and service. one could rea-
sonably suppose there we're no cap
able public spirited citizens, available
for this service. That is not true.
The fault lies i'm the partisanship Of
our politics: lies in the system Of
selecting men for public elective Of
fees who are chosen 10 do the viii of
political bosses rather than 10 serve
the people.
we can no better illustrate what we

candidates of greater caliber for the

such men would show greater inde-
pcndence. and that true public
leadership would be evolved. and the
public spirit of the people would be
improved. To the questioner's aston.

DELAWARE COLLEGE AND ATHLETICS.

Tho betrothal of one OF the most re-
markahle fnElishmen living-the
"Kaid.' Sir Harry MacLean-recalls a
career full of romance and adventure.
His bride is TO be Miss ella Prcnder-
Henry Prcndcrgast. Of Heron Court
Richmond. Tho wedding is to take
place this month at Abcrcorn, KaiG
MacLean's home.
Sir Henry Is the scion Of an an
cient line Of Scotch Highland chief
tains. He entered the British army,
serving as an officer in the Old Sixty
ninth Foot While stationed at Glib
raltar he sailed across the Straits Of
Hercules TO Tangier i'm Morocco.
where the late Sultan Mulaiel-Hassan
induced him to become his aid de
camp and commander Of his Body
Guard Soon Sir Harry became the
gcneral-in-chicf of the Morocco army
OF some 10000 barbaric soldiers.
and for more than a quarter of a CEN
tury he shared the adventures and
life of that nomadic court, instructing
the Moors in the art Of war.
Sir Harry is no parlor soldier. He
has seen service in the wars against
the fierce tribes of Central Morocco.
II was during one Of. these cam
paigns that Sultan Mulai-el-Hassan
died. and during this crisis the Kaid's
genius was proved. Had the news of
the Sultan's death become known
known while the army was away
from the capital the empire would
have been devastated by rival claim
ants TO the throne. Sir Harry there
fore kept the matter secret. BY his
orders the body OF his master was
propped up. and carried along in the
golden litter as though nothing had
occurred, and the shciks and pashas
unknowingly paid their homage to
dead man. In this manner Rabat was
peacefully proclaimed ruler as sue
ccssor TO his father.
After that crisis, the Kaid's in
huencc in Morocco was paramount
He was inseparable from the then
Sultan (MulaO Abd-cl-Aziz, and has
been the latters friend through veal
and woe. CuriOusly, although the
Moors are among the most fanatical
OF all the followers Of the Prophet,
the fact that the Kaid has remained
a Presbyterian never interfered with
their amicable relations with him. He
invariably dresses i'm a blue, gold
jacket, large knicker-
hockers. big turban. and white
flowing mantle.
One of the Ksid's latest adventures
occurred in 1907, when by breach of

- FSPrrE tho fact that columns Of editorial aud
IL n ys matter have been printed to the contrary,
the opinion still is entertained i'm certain quarters
which should he informed better, that in the campaign
10 boost Wilmington and to increase is commercial
prestige a blow is being aimed at the rural merchants.
Nothing Is farther from the truth Wha tho city of
Wilmington wants from the rural communities Is That
part their trade which TO New York Phila
dclpha and Baltimore aud from which the rural mer-
chanis obtain absolutely benefit We are sur
prscd that the Newark Ledger, which usually is fair
and opcn-mndcd should give editorial utcFancc to

paien of The Chamber ef Commerce and those who arc
assisting il as good work The Ledger saysi
Several members of The Chamber of Commerce Of
Wilmington visited 'our town one day last week Tho
party 20 Dover, ostcnsibly 20 advertise
the Wilminson Far An escort of several Town Coun-
cilmcn prominent citizens met the party at Lum-
brook and escorted them about the town The Chamber
OF Commerce must be commended for the keen inter
cst taken in the advancement OF Wilmington. IL is
trelcss in IFS efforts to make Wilmington greater
Wilmington. and 10 awaken its people from doing
things on a small scale reach out after greater
things. Wilmington Is after the trade of the Peninsula
of Dolmar ia Very acommendablc and with the cf-
forts being made. the trade of the Peninsula, TO
the loss Of the merchants of small towns. will even
iually center in Wilmington. We repeat what we said
last week. What Is the country merchant going 20 do?
Is he going to encourage his trade to go to Whining
ton. or Is he going TO protest, To us Newark comes
must act If they want the homo trade u is useless
10 tell them what TO do They know win they do
IT, or be willing 10 drift along and allow their busi
ness to less every year?
II Is perfectly right that Newark and its merchants
should first in the minds not only Of Newark cdi-
tors but also in the minds OF all Newark and wo-
That is exactly the policy OF the Chamber OF
Commerce with respect TO Wilmington and its mcr-
chants. Il says 10 Wmingtonans. DO not buy else
where anything YOU buy i'm Wilmington Con-
sietcnc demands that sag the people i'm the rural
sections. "ro not buy elsewhere anything YOU can

everything You cannot buy at home"
We think the Ledger and al others who heretofore
have enter aimed spirit OF gonsm will feel COM
peil "a to admit that. Wilmington Is the metropolis

omncntly fair TO tho rural merchants matter how
large or how small their business transactions may be.

who arc at heart interested in its up
ift. ready and willing to make sacri-
fees in that behalf. These men should
find some way Of working together in
this common purpose.
Tho College might organize a Lab

gather beneficial information and
provide employment for worthy peo-

for such an endeavor and We feel

From the Milford Chronicle.
II is none too soon for the people
of Delaware 20 think over the affairs
of their own state and county, aud to
get an understanding Of the actual
conditions undef which they will hold
the next election in Delaware The
ratification OF the amendment 10 the
Federal Constitution, which changes
the method of choosing the Senator'S
from the several states TO represent
them In the United States Senate. will
have a great result in the selecting of
candidates for the United States Sem
atorship. and the membership OF the
Legislature. In the past. men were
nominated by the political workers
who were pledged 10 support certain
candidates for the United States Sena-
torship. If their party we're 10 be
successful az the polls, but this will be
eliminated entirely in all future cleo
tions. because the Senators will be
elected by the direct vote Of the peo-
pie. like they now elect their Repre-
sentative in Congress. Tho only in
iuences to shape nominations, will
he that Of the corporate interests and
the liquor interests, and IL is safe to
say that these will not overlook any
opportunity to get men nominated who
will carefully look after them in the
Legislature. The Legislature enacted
a law making the primary laws Of
New Castle county apply TO the coun-
ties of Kent and Sussex, and this will
be a new thing for the people Of
lower Delaware to get acquainted
with. All of this will go far toward
compelling more and abler represen-
tatives I'm both the Legislature and in
the county governments. One step
further should be taken, and that step
should be to compell all candidates TO
undergo a satisfactory examination As
to their physical, moral and mental
ability to FIJI the Office they aspire to;
but. we expect that this one vital move
will he postponed by the Legislature
for a time at least, but IL will ulti-
mately come.

WHY is PAPA OSTRICH THE BEST
EATHER2

The ostrich is the largest and one
of the swiftest of all birds, but it has
little brains. The ostrich can take a
2O-foot stride and can travel almost
as fast as a railroad train, yet it is
caught by men on horseback be-
cause when excited it runs in a circle.
The rider intercepts it by making
short cuts across the arc of the
circle.
The ostrich gets the reputation of
being the best father in the bird king
dom because he takes turns with his
wife in setting on the eggs and after
birth he helps mother rear family.
