our couRrs AND WEAPON cARRIERs.

I is with pleasure notice that persons convicted
Of carrying concealed deadly weapons receive scant
mercy in our courts The public should be steadfast
in uphoding the judges in that policy OF dealing with
a dangerous class Of criminals.
Most of the shooting stabbing and sashing episodes
that have dsgraced city and State the past have
been due to the fact that those who committed the
crimes were armed at the time the trouble arose
which led to them. In only few instances has it
been shown that the offenders went away, armed them
selves and returned 10 the attack
That being true both the peace officers and the
courts are performing exceedingly important pub
lie service when they call upon and women, who
are lawlessly inclined, TO disarm, and when they
bring about the severe punishment of those who fail
to heed such warning.

FSSAYTNc THE nTPOSSIBLE,


There's little Morning News,
Which straightway starts to cry;
II anyone speaks slightly
OF Mr.. Alfred /.
He Is a little angel,
AS everyone can see.
His only fault-if he has one
Is that he hates T. c.
He loves the people nightly,
And spends his money free;
He'd gladly sacrifice his State,
To cruelty T. c,
He builds a wall around himself,
With gates and bolts and bars:
The people whom he loves SO well,
Outside gaze at the stars.
The people have his number,
And they know IL bloomin' well;
He doesn't care for people,
Cod Eternity or He'll.
The Morning News does wonders
AS it shut the peoples eye
But Il cannot make an angel

ROTTEN HYPOCRISY
E Dover Repnblican.

From the Dover Republican.
About the silliest bosh that has been
injected into the political literature Of
this State for SOME time is found in the
illusions that emanate from what may
be termed THE Publicity Bureau of the
Traitors and Would-be Party Wreck
ers,' which climb into the open through
the columns of the Wilmington Morning
News, which, in spite of its denial Of
the fact, it is believed, is controlled and
owned by Alfred 1. dupont. and whose
editor is fed, clothed and sustained from
the Golfer of the magnate.
And the bosh of the Morning News,
its kick, its howl, its hysteria, its rot
ten hypocrisy, are all for the one pur-
pose OF attempting the herculean, really
impossible, task of convincing its read
ers that a couple of "Relentless Ru-
dolphs,r who are obsessed with an in
satiable craving for R-r-revcnge, one
against the leaders in general Of the
Republican party Of Delaware, the other
against fellow-member of his own
family and a fellow member of the
powder corporation, are political saints
whose mission is TO purify political con-
ditions in the Republican party of the
State.
The Morning News, up to the present
writing, has dismally failed in its task
and we can assert as a positive fact that
Il can 60 on Illuminating its slush, its
despienble lies, its Hell-brod hypocrisy
till the sun shall have ceased to shine
and the earth to revolye without sue
ceeding in its dirty purpose to wreck
the Republican party Of Delaware by
attempting to convince its readers thai
j. Frank Alice is something other thar
a dirty, common, low, mean, despicabl
traitor, and that his co-conspiratoi

At the home OF her daughter, Mrs

self-destructiOn voluntarily.
Il can't believe Robert would do such
thing" she said. He was to have re-
turned to his architectural studies next
week in his sophomore year. The police
today are scanning the river for the body.
Robert was so strangely given to the
studying Of books on Spirttualism that
am sure he was in a reverie when he fell
or jumped from the boat" said Mrs
BlaCkhall He often spoke to me OF his
desire to take up the adventure after
death and said he held no fear Of such
adventure, as it must be without the
misery of humanity, and more to be
courted than stunned"
b According to the young mans mother.
with whom he lived at 257 Lenox avenue,
young Mr.. Blackhall was Of a marked
nervous temperament and Of a nature so
sensitive that his casual observation Of
suffering on the part of others disturbed
him.

BLACKLIST CHARGES
SETTLED INDIVIDUALLY
Department and Embassy Awaiting
Great Britain's Reply.

While the State Department Is await
ing Great Britain's reply to the United
States protest against the enforcement
of the British so-called blacklist" un-
Official negotiations conducted for the
British government by Sir Richard Craw-
ford, commercial attache of the British
Embassy, are rapidly settling individual
cases involved in the blacklist. DESPITE
the official refusal Of the United States
to recognize Great Britain's right under
international law to maintain the black
list, unoflcially, through the trade ad-
visers and through the Department of
Commerce, individual cases are being
considered and settled on their merits.
The attitude taken by the British En-
bassy here, and the negotiations in in
dividual cases have led to the Conclusion
that Great Britain's reply to the Arneri-
can protests, when it comes will be un-
satisfactory.
The situation has become parallel with
that brought about by the British block
ade of neutral ports in northern sEurope
In that case the blockade has been main
tanned despite the protests of the United
States and individual cases have been
treated in unofficial negotiations.
