III IS HIS NATuRE TO GO ZIP.


Is not surprising that the editorial attacks made by
4 the Every Evening upon former Congressman
Thomas w. Miller now a major In the Ordnance De-
psrment have aroused much public and private re-
sentiment.
The chief onense Of Major Miller in the eyes Of the
Every Evening is that he is making good in the military
service. just he previously had made good as a men,
Der Of Congress-
We could understand why the Every Evening assaied
Representative Thomas w Miller He was a Republican
Representative, while the Every Evening was a Demo-
cratic newspaper.
We cannot however understand why It assals Major
Thomas w. Miller, because he is American soldier
and The Every Evening processes to be American
newspaper.
Thomas w. Miller is who goes up in whatever
he undertakes It runs in his family. He couldn't help
It II he would, and he wouldn't help It II he could He
believes in going up, and he does it, There nothing
Of the earth-worm In his makeup
He entered politics in this State in a small ward
working way. and he ended by being a Representative
in Congress and executive secretary TO the Republican
National Congressional Compaign Committee.
He entered the military service in a small way First
he student in the officers training camp at Patts-
burgh Next nnd him serving as private in the
First Delaware Infantry, Organized Militia OF Delaware
AS reward for his untrng and intelligent work he
made lieutenant in that military unit and went
to Admission with IT, Down there he attracted so much
favorable attention by his splendid work that he
made captain subsequently, he was transferred from
The National to The Regular Army and assigned for duty
on the Mexican border He came 10 Wilmington and
said goodbye 10 his relatives and friends. Then he
started South. On his way he stopped of in Washington
for final instructions. There high onlcias in the
Ordnance Department decided he could be better
advantage in Washington than the Mexican border.
He transferred and order that he might perform
his duties TO better advantage he made a major,
which Is his rank today. His work in Washington is
being performed worhly and, as he is of golns-up
nature no one need be surprised H. in a few weeks or
few months, he becomes a lieutenant-colone or
a colonel
Major Miller is Delaware man. He is a Of a
former Delaware governor. As view it, all Della
wareans should view with pleasure his advancement.
We also think that the last OF attack upon him
should be Delaware newspaper which makes any pre-
whatever OF the possession OF state pride and
Amercanism.
