A VOICE FROM KENT.

To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir-After reading with much as
tonishment the rabid and violent at
tacks that the Wilmington Morning
New has been making the past week
against the Republican organization
of Delaware, which is the Republican
party of our State. feel that l must
voice a few worlds of protest.
How can a newspaper such as the
Wilmington Morning News claim TO be
a Republican organ" when it is using
every means within its power, edi-
torially as well as by scare head"
news. TO make the Republican party
of Delaware a discredited and un-
worthy party? In other words, it IS
attempting to effect the election Of
Democratic Office seekers to office. in
the guise Of protest against the
present committee of the Republican
party.
Again, how can any man with even
the smallest amount Of intelligence fail
to see the motive back Of the Alfred
l. DUPONT movement in politics.
When . man, such as A. l. DUPONT,
will stoop so low as to employ such
men as J. F. Alice, F. H. Davis and
James Aaron as his co-workers. paid
to do his dirty work." he can be
class Immediately with those melo-
dramatic characters in the nickel PIC
ture show. The simple fact that he
has not one single man on his polit-
ical payroll who is not disgruntled
discredited unbelievable, political
hypocrite should prove to the world
the true state of his campaign to
wreck the Republican party.
Evidently the powder company
deemed him unworthy or II never
would have put him out Now he is
begging the intelligent voters Of Del
aware to place him upon a pedestal
as wonder" "reformer," ''purist" 4"
It seems queer he was going to re-
form the politics of Kent county, go
ing to purify them" and yet one Of
his friends IS credited with an effort
to buy delegates TO the State conven-
ton,
Birds Of a feather flock together. ("
is an old saying-A. I. DUPONT, J. F.
Alice, Ned" Baker, Frank Hall
Davis, etc, etc. Enough saidl
As to the action OF the Kent county
Republican committee in expelling
/ four members, who were evidently
controlled by Alice. the real Repub-
licans Of Kent county fully approve
of their action. II should have done
that work long before The Alice men
and the Democrats Of Kent arc the
only ones who are kicking against
the action KENT COUNTIAN.

As Ii Is Viewed in Kent
CFrom The Dover State sentinei.)

The Index claims that the State
Sentinel is not consistent when we
say that the Republican party Of Del
aware has no boss and at the same
time that the Kent County Committee
was justified in expelling the four
members who were sloyal to the
party If the Index knows the main
facls in the case il will retract it,
statements. Four members Of the
Kent County Committee refused to
Join the majority, the fifteen ether
members, in any plans for party sue
cess and finally came out with a
bold scheme to defeat the party. They
referred to the party as the organ'-
zation. This organization is the par
ty. II is made up Of men selected by
the voters in all parts of the State
and is supported by more than nine
tenths of the voters in all parts OF
the State The four men who refused
10 join with the other fifteen men,
bers OF the Kent County Committee
were not elected to fight the major
ity but TO work with the majority
in an effort to defeat the corrupt and
inefficient Democratic machine. When
they boldly announced that they
would not do the work for which they
were elected, the majority of the
Committee realized that il was time
to take action The surprising thing
Is that these four members did not
voluntarily withdraw from the COM
mittee. and the fact that they did not
withdraw is. in view of their avowed
intentions, a proof OF their hypocrisy
Of their pretense Of being in favor of
one thing when they we're openly
opposed by word and by deed to that
very thing An organization repre-
sentlng the plans and purposes Of a
party. cannot in any sense be called
a boss.
AS a matter Of fact there is no one
man in the Republican party of Del
aware who is attempting to control
the party. unless Mr.. Alfred l. dupont
can be counted a Republican. The
Sentinel dislikes personalities. but
this IS a matter that cannot be dis
cussed without naming persons. Mr.
Alfred l. DUPONT has a personal quar-
rel with Gen. T. C. DUPONT and his
whole opposition to the Republican
organization arises from his personal
fight against Gen. DUPONT The only
thing that he asked of the delegates
TO the National Republican Conven-
tion was that they oppose Gen du
Pont as a member Of the Nationa
Republican Committee He stated
further that he himself would b'
willing to accent the position. if ask

SUGGESTS DON'T WORRY
AS American MOTTO

Don't worry" should be the motto
Of every American. according to the
Rev. Herbert r. Randolph, who de-
livered the sermon at Grace u. E.
Church Sunday morning. DR.. Ran
dolph declared this habit Of worrying
is the besetting sin of Americans and
this has been given the name of
"Americanitis." In a cosmopolitan
city DR.. Randolph said, Americans
can be singled out by the evidence of
worry in their faces.
Here is the universal occasion to
earn a livelihood but there is no oc-
casion for worry in it What says
our Lord2
DR.. Randolph said: Now, worry
kills the inner life, it saps the vital
forces, it strikes a blow at that very
power without which meat and raiment
are unnecessary. Therefore, if God
creates the life then He can also pro
vide the meat to sustain it, No man
ever starves who keeps strong and
pure and healthful through life

the National Committee, Mr.. Alfred
l. DUPONT announced that he was op-
posed TO the organization IN IDla-
ware and to every man that was al
lied with the organization. In this
way he allowed his opposition TO one
man to control his acton towards the
Republican Party of the State. In
other words, If he could not control
the party, he would wreck it. Mr..
Alfred l. dupont has found few
men who are under financial obliga-
tions 70 him or who are seeking to
place themselves under such obliga-
tons. who are willing to follow him
in his course, not because they op-
pose Gen. T. c. DUPONT but solely
because of their own personal inter
est. Some of these men have acted
with Democrats. working for the
success Of the Democratic party and
voting the Democratic ticket
AS the State Sentinel sa'd last
week, these men have a right to 60
out and organize party machine of
their own either as an indeSendent
party, or as an adjunct TO this DEM
ocratic party or in opposition to the
present Republican organization in
the State, provided that they do It in
square, open, honest way. II they
can organize a Republican machine
that will better serve the interests Of
the party and of the people OF Della
ware than the present organization,
they not only have the right to do
so. but they are entitled to commen-
dation for doing IT, AS a matter OF
fact, they are not attempting any
such thing. AS a matter of fact. they
openly state that their own personal
dictates must rule the Republican
party; that they themselves must
name the leaders and candidates fof
office or they will wreck the party.
The only issue with any one OF them
is in his own personal, selfish inter-
ests No party can afford to let such
men rule. II has been the uniform
custom of the Republican Party in
Delaware to turn down all such men

Great Britain is very much alive to the Importance OF
establishing protective tar policy For several years
past she felt severely the effects OF German

Democrats will be able to point to that classic
pie of free trade Britain to bolster up their argu

The railroads have considered ev-
cry man whose name appears on the
January and December payrolls as
an employe for year, no matter how
little service he performed in the
other ten months. It is pointed out
by the managers that these averages
are, in consequence, an under7tate-
ment of the earning power OF these
employees.
The National Conference Commit
tee. in making these wage figures
public, says:
do you believe in arbitration or
industrial warfare?
"The train employees on all the rail-
roads are voting whether they will
give their leaders authority to tie up
the commerce of the country to en-
force their demands for a 100000
900 wage increase.
"The railroads are in the public

employees is in the public service

"You pay for rail transportation
SO 900 000.G 600 a year. and "A cents
out of every dollar from you goes
TO the employees.
"A S10O.0OO.OO0 wage increase for
men in freight and yard service
( Cless than one-fifth OF all employes)
is equal to a 5 per cent. advance in
all freight rates.
THE managers OF the railroads
as trustees for the public have nc
right to place this burden on the
cost of transportation TO you with
out a clear mandate from a public
tribunal speaking for you.
"The railroads have proposed the
settlement Of this controversy either
under the existing national arbitra-
tion law or by reference to the In.
terstate Commerce Commission. This
offer has been refused by the em.
ploves' representatives.

more classical compositions. In this
way it is declared the concerts are
becoming educational in their nature.
The attempt to reach all sections of
the city also is succeeding. and the

vantage of the music to get a little

Adopt one signature and stick

that your checks are properly

these may be used as added safe
guards; but there is no rule OF
law that compels you to do so.
You are safe if you follow the
