A BROADSIDE FROM WITUIN.

q ENATOR SALISBURY is criticized, severely and
- deseryodly. by the Every Evening for his sug-
geston in the United states Senate last week, that
Wilmington manufacturers have laid off for
political effect against the Wilson administration. 1t
SAYS under the heading of "PartIsanship Run Mad"
When. on Wednesday. a Washington dispatch in
morning newspaper reported Senator Salisbury of this
State as saying in the course Of discussion over in
dustria conditions in this country that some manuac
turing concerns in Wilmington discharging men
when there work hand for them to do thus in
tmatng that discharges were being made for part
effect many refused to believe the story The Off
cia report the debate in the Congressional Record
however. proved its truth. We reprint elsewhere from
the official report in the Record the colloquy between
Senator Salisbury aud Senator Gallinger Of New
Hampshire and readers may inform themselves there
by Also in a special from Washington Senator
Saulsbury's amazing reiteratOn.
It is surprising that man holding the high posi-
ton of United States Senator should I'm the place
display ignorance of business procedure as to
oven believe, much less intimate by yelled accusation
that men in charge OF large industrial interests could
bring themselves to such foolish and orimnally cost
y practice to discharge worlSmen while there
work on hand for them TO do. No partisan advantage
that could possibly from such polcy-and
It is not possible to conceive that any partisan advan
iage whatever would be derived-coud compensate for
the money loss that would certainly follow And no
man with sense enough to assume the management
and control of a large industrial establishment would
even think of doing such thing no matter how strong
his partisan prejudice might be- me inumation OF
Senator Salisbury, therefore insulting and be
littlmg 20 such well illustration OF par
tfsanshp run mad TO the point OF gross insult and
ignorance
Delaware has had some great as her represen-
tatives In the Senate OF the United States She has
had a commendable lumber Of able men: she has
had few small men OF no ability worth speaking
about But the smallest and most inconspiouous of
the latter class fortunately small in number. never
venured to such depths OF foolish parsanship. COM
hnod with ignorance of simple business policy and
gard for material interests in the management Of large
Industrial affairs, make such uncaled for
malicious insinuation made by the Junior Sen
ator from Delaware" on the floor Of the Senate on
Tuesday last
No wonder the people of his State are ashamed Of
him. No wonder he became. apparently. ashamed OF
himself and the day following made some supple
mental remarks the subject-as reported in a spe-
cisl from Washington 10 yesterdays Every Evening
calculated 10 place him In better view before his
situents and the country. But he had made his dis
play-one that revealed him in his true light
pcayune politician rafting around i'm official posi-
zion ft only for men of ability and true dignity
And let il not be forgotten that the Every Evennl
IL Dcrocradc newspaper and that Senator Sauls
bury is Democratic member of Congress. We won
der how the "picayune politician" likes this broad
side from within the Democratic lines?
