EDITORS ARE HUMAN.
m the Snow I'm Mesaerger.

From the Snow Hill Messenger
We often wonder if it has ever oc-
Cured 10 some people that editors
are human. and not super-beings
gifted with second sigut.
An editor is constantly on the hunt
for news OF interest 20 the people
who read and pay for HE paper, and
he never intentionally omits an arti-
Gle of any importance. The success
of his paper depends upon his inn
partially in this respect
And yet often some person con-
.ceives the erroneous idaa that the
editor has purposely left out some
item concerning them or their
families.
Has II ever occurred to them that
the editor may not have heard of
that particular item. although he
searched diligently in his efforts ia
secure all Of the news
There is a very effective remedy
for these isolated but inadverteni
omissions The next time you have
a piece of news concerning yourself
or your family, or your neighbors, OF
of your community, give II to the
editor yourself, or phone or write i
in to him, and do not depend upor
others to do it. They may be more
interested in affairs en- their owl
side of the fence.

BROCksON AND HARD TIMES.

~ CONGRESSMAN BROCKSON. OF this State has
~ courted defeat by assisting in inhctng upon the
people Delaware the Underwood tariff and the evils
that have followed in its train. The vote in VIII
mngton. the chief industrial centre State, will
be Overwhelmingly against him. Nor has he good
ground think that the rural districts will rally
strongly to his support. The Democratic commercial
and industrial depression that has thrown thousands
of and out of work in this and other cities
also felt acutely in the rural districts except by
those wheat growers who wise enough to hold
grain for the brought about by the Euro
pean war,
Democratic hard times in the cities, brought about
by Congressman Brockson and other Democratic
members Of Congress- destroyed the markets Of Della
ware fruit growers and most Of those growers have
been compelled swallow losses. through the har-
vesting OF bountifu crops at low prices
Delaware hortlculturists would be political phlan-
thropsts indeed we're they TO vote for Congressman
Brockson after he had done everything possible to
destroy the markets for their fruit by throwing hous-
ands of fruit consumers out of work and wreckng
their earning and purchasing power.
The Lord has given to Delaware agriculturists big
crops.
The wnson-Brockson administration has given to
them runously low net returns by creating an era
Of hard times and destroying profitable markets.
Producers living in rural districts in Delaware have
been taught by the Wilson Brockson process that the
prosperity Of the rural districts is dependent upon
the prosperity of the commercial and industrial centres
and that when Congressman Brockson engaged In the
enterprise OF destroying prosperity in such market
! centres he also aimed ruinous blow at his eonsut
! uents in the rural districts.

self-interes should rebuff the advances of Congress

lican candidate, who is avowed and earnest apostle
of prosperity.

THE BULL MOOSE AND
THE ELEPHANT.


From the Salisbury Tribune.
The developments of the past week
politically in the First Congressional
District have been rapid and impor-
tant. II was the critical stage for
the men who were concerned in nam
ing a candidate to take the place of
Capt. George W. Truitt on the Pro
gressive ticket. II has worked itself
out in manner most gratifying 10
the Republicans If the district
though somewhat discoureging to the
radical element of the Progressive
party.
The Progressive committee COM
posed of Messrs. Robt ID. Grier, VIM.
NJ. Day and Dr. r. Lee Hail. appoin-
ted to recommend candidate for
the endorsement of a Progressive
conference of the district, to be held
in Salisbury last Monday, has decided
finally not to recommend anyone.
The committee does not profess to
have any faith in the promises Of the
Republican leaders to support Col.
Hodson, but they declare that they
are going TO take the Republicans at
their word and see whether or not
they will really support Col. Hodson.
The committee does not, on the
other HAND, profess to say that the
Progressives will support Mr.. Duer'
but they admit that there will not be
many Progressives who will withhold
support from the Republican candi-
date. They admit also that some OF
the Progressives will not support
Col. Hodson either. They profess
simply to fear that Col. Hodson will
not really have any considerable Re-
publican support.
This puts it up to the Republicans
TO give both men equally loyal and
effective support at the polls. We
believe this will be done Both mer
are entitled to every Republican and
independent vote in the district. Blu
IL Is really the duty Of every Repub
| lican in the district to give to boil
men the same support, because

must be convinced that if they wan
