MIR. MILLER's CANDIDACY.

Whs - AAA
From the Wilmington Sunday Star.
The contention that Thomas w
Miller, Republican nominee for Re
preventative in Congress, should re-
sign the Office of Secretary of State
because he is conducting campaign,
is untenable If the affairs Of the
State Department were not being at
tended to, there would be ground for
this claim, but inasmuch as the Of
fee is being run on strictly business
lines, as everyone who has any deal
ings with it can testify. there is no
reason why Mr. Miller should surren-
der this post. It will be recalled that
when Woodrow Wilson was nomina-
ted for the Presidency he did not re-
sign as Governor Of New Jersey until
several days before his Inauguration.
Why, then, should an exception be
made in the case of our Secretary of
State? Surely, he will not present
his resignation for the sole purpose
of gratifying the partisan whims of
his opponents.
The State Department is being con-
Quoted in a manner that reflects
credit upon the present administra-
ton This fact is admitted. The
claim therefore that more attention
should be given to the Office by the
nominee is not only without basis,
but it is founded on the kind of par
tisanship that makes the intelligent
voter think twice before he casts his
ballot
The Star is not a political organ
It has no candidate for Congress OF
for any other Office. In Justice "a
Mr.. Miller, however, it can be said
that he embodies all Of the essentials
that would make a capable and ef-
ficient Representative in Congress
Intelligent, honest. upright, conscien
tious. a man of education. and in thu
] vigor Of youth, he is able TO represen
e Delaware in the House as she should

AN ANSWER TO DEMO-

AN ANSWER TO DEMO-
CRATIC "WHYS." !
From the Dover Republican.
We reply to all the questions Of
why" that the Every Evening"
state News" and Index" ask, with
the answer that true gentleman
will stOop to no underhand, disrepu-
table or ungentlemanly action in
either thought or deed" True Ameri-
canism is founded upon free thought
and action
We answer all the Democratic
newspapers that have asked why,
that a gentleman's word is better than
that Of a scaliwag, and we maintain
that even the Democrats cannot deny
that Miller, Swain and Luff are gen
tlemen. The fact, If no other fact
was apparent. that they have refrain
ed from personalities in their cam
paign-that they have kept conspicu-
ously aloof from all personal attacks,
that they, like real American gentle
men, have refused to be enticed into
a political argument with Democratic
mud singers" men, who for money
search out and publish the personal
and sacred and private actions of
public men, will prove them gentle
men.
This fact alone, will appeal to all
decent men in Delaware, regardless
of politics, that the Republican can
didates stand on their merits as
American gentlemen, while the De-
mocratic candidates, without excep'
ton are hiding behind the blackmail'
ing, dirty, bought Democratic Press

out of the Islander, filth and mire tina

POOR ACCOMMODATION.

From the Delmar News-Herald
A few months ago we we're pro-
missed a remodeling of the station at
this place. and as It sometimes goes
we are still living on the promise.
Delmar has more passenger trafic
than any station its size on the line
and we are compelled 20 put up with
the least accommodation We doubt
if there is another station anywhere,
of any size, that has no room for the
accommodation Of the ladies. At
Delmar, we have but one room for
all men, women and children, and
while the men usually show respect
toward the Ladies. nevertheless they
want and feel that they are deserv-
ing of the same respec; as Is shown
the ladies OF other towns viz, A
Ladies Waiting Room.
We feel that It is nothing but right,
that the important subject be taken
up with the railroad officials and a
request be made. that the ladies OF
/ this town shall have -he same ac-
commodations here. rs they are ten
| dered at other stations along the line.
We have waited a long time and
have taken promises for such an i'm
provement. until we have about given
up anything being done.
We could mention several places
along the line where they have all
the latest devices and accommoda-
tons, the waiting rooms. and al
necessary conveniences for both men
and women, and with separate
waiting room for each. But Delmal
is far from being in the list.

POOR SCHOOL CHILDREN AND COUNCIL.

THE interest displayed by the members of our Re
4 publican City Council in the welfare OF certain
poorly-clad and almost shoeess boys and girls who
participated in the school chldrens Old Home Week
parade this week is truly commendable. That some
thing should be for their relief recognized
by all the members OF Council after Councilman Cook
Republican, from the Second ward had called it TO
the attention of his colleagues.
It is secret that in several Of the poorer districts
in our city there many boys and girls attending
school who are nadequately clothed, shod and fed.
particularly in FAN and Winter sympathizing teach
do what they can for them by acts Of sef-sacr-
fee but It is not nearly sufficient to meet their needs
No doubt the action of Councilman Cook will Serve
to arouse official and public interest in their condi-
ton and lead to steps to ameliorate it. He is to be
commended for the humanitarian spirit underlying his

Mrs. Allison J. Cole, wife of a banker
at Hebron, ILL.,, was found by search.
ing party yesterday in a cistern in
the rear of the home of Jonathan
Fink in Hebron. A coroner's jury
returned verdict of suicide.
Mrs. Cole, who was 4: years old,
is said to have been suffering from
nervousness. Mr. Cole aroused
neighbors at 3 o'clock in the morning,
when he discovered his wife had left
the house, clad only in night robe
and shoes.
A searching party traced her steps
in the snow to a cistern in the rear
of the home of Mrs. C. F. Woodbury.,
across the street from the Cole resi-
dence. There was evidence that an
effort had been made to raise the lid
of the cistern, which appears to have
been too heavy Two hours later the
searchers found small electric fash
light lying in the snow beside the els.
tern in the rear of the Fink home.
Cole identified it as one that had
been in his wife's room. A search
in the cistern revealed the body.

MexiCdnS to Con-
tinue WAITING Plan
DEVELOPMENT OF NEXT FEW
DAYS WATCHED At WASHING.
ToN-PRESlDENT SAYS NO
CRISIS EXISTS,

Washington, Jan. 3O.-The president
outlined Informally the status of those
problems of American diplomacy
which have been brought into the fore.
ground of public attention by his re-
cent conference with the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations. He reit-
Grated emphatically that no crisis was
at hand, unless the Mexican situation
might be constructed in the nature of
a perpetual crisis.
Regarding Mexico, President Wilson
made known that the only settled part
of his policy is to continue course
of watchful waiting. He has not yet
decided to life the embargo on arms,
but is considering arguments relative
to it. In this connection the presi
dent pronounced as absolutely false
reports that Japanese are supplying
ammunitions of war to the Huerta
government. ...
The president believes foreign gov
ernments are doing all they can to
show friendly spirit toward United
States in the Mexican situation.
Respecting relations of the United
States with Japan, it became known
the two governments are discussing
various proposals to cement friendly
relations but negotiations over the
California land question are closed.
United States, it was learned, views
that phase Of the question is conclud-
ed. The federal government, under
the constitution, cannot dictate to a
state what its laws shall contain, and
because on court decision has defined
whether treaty would override state
law Or vice-versa, nothing along the
line of new treaty with Japan has
been formulated.
Regarding the situation in Haiti,
which has been left without a govern.
ment by the hight OF President OreSte,
at the approach of revolutionists, the
policy to be adopted by the United
States depends upon developments
during the next few days.
The Haitien constitution provides
that in the case of a vacancy of the
presidency the cabinet ministers shall
call a national assembly in session
within 10 days and that body shall fill
the vacancy If this constitutional
method is followed now the United
States, probably will not object to
making recognition of new govern.
