SCORES SENATOR LEWIS.

Editor Every Evening: Those who
know the career and character Of United
States Senator james Hamilton Lewis
will not take too seriously his prophecies
of American politics after the war, az con
yeyed in an interview cabled from Paris.
This new display Of Mr.. Lewis by hirp-
self. his first appearance upon the inter
national stage, is Of a piece with ms long
and consistent self-advertlsIng. Years ago
he was content TO be ridiculous 1t only ne
could thus be conspicuous. since ~ the

been punished for giving out the letter

not forget one other incident in The recent
career Of Mr.. Lewis for IL, like the inter
view from Paris, shows hiTn as cunningly
cotuting the German vote.
Mr. Lewis opposed the first loan of
$500. OOO. 900 to the Allies upon the ground
that it would drain us Of gold Now, 2

Almost Immediately after the con

Why the Omission?

The platform adopted by the Republi-
can State Convention at Dover, on
Tuesday, has at least the merit Of brevity
There was not much it could say. But
it is conspicuous for a very important
omission.
1t is customary for a political convcn-
ton n its formulation of a platform, to
include a section giving cordial indorso-
ment to the local administration, when
that administration is of its political ac-
cord The administration of Delaware
at this time is Republican, headed by a
Republican governor. The two Dem
ocratic members that were chosen at
the 1916 election, as a result of the In
dependent bolt, do not affect its political
character Ii stands forth as Republican
State administration. But the RepublI-
can State Convention refused to give 1T
the approval of an Endorsement
That this refusal was purposed and
deliberate is not TO be doubted. II WIS
known nj Dover, on Tuesday, that Gov
crnor Townsend was desirous of an IN
dorscment in the platform, and, indeed,
asked for it. But his request was re-
fused. In plain terms, his administra-
tion was ignored.
Ii is not easy to realize why tins posi-
ton was taken Governor Townsend
in the main, has proved good executive.
He made a great mistake when he yield
cd to the desires of a lot OF politicians
for the pardon of a Negro preacher who
had been convicted, after fair trial, OF a
nefarious offending, simply because he
had been Of value TO the Republican
workers of Kent county. But there has
been nothing else in his administration
that should have served 10 hrng upon
him and his administration this virtual
condemnation by a Republican State
Convention.
1t is difficult to follow the vagarles OF
political practices in Delaware, these
wears And the reason for this rcpudIa-
tion Of Governor Townsend admlnlstra-
ton will probably have to so on record as
one of those things that cannot bc ade-
quately explained.

CITY Council Acted Wisely.

CITY Council never did better piece
of work, or one more closely concerned
with the interests Of the people. than
when it approved the bill for garbage
collection, al Thursday night : session.
This action means that the service will
be continued, and that means great
deal to the people For years the garbage
collection service in Wilmington had
been in very unsatisfactory condition,
and a plan arranged by the Board Of
Health. recently. promised good results.
But because this plan did not exactly
coincide with existing law, tho City
Council placed itself on record as against
ii by refusing payment of the first month 5
bill for the service
Citv Solicitor Bayard. however. gave
an official opinion TO the City Council
10 the effect that the action taken by the
Board of Health was in accord with
law and should be sustained. Had the
CITY Council adhered to its opposition
there might have been serious trouble,
IS the contractors could hol nc tAptcteu
I'd continue the service without compen-
sat,on But. after reflection and con-
sjderation. the CITY Council concluded TO
accent the situation from rational
point OF view and to withdraw its OPP
position.
No doubt the people Of Wilmington,
now assured OF a good garbage collection
service. which they had been without for
long while, Will congratulate City Coun-
Gil upon rs T ghteous decision.

As 10 the Money Barrel.

The Dover Index, commenting upon
the work Of the Republican State Con-
vention. held in Dover, this week, says
Taken all in all, We do not think the
Democratic party can safely rely on any
considerable help Of its candidates from
Republicans. If the money barrel is
open, as il is likely to be. convention
differences. if they really existed to any
extent, will disappear before election day. :
But will the money barrel bc opened
in this wears campaign? The Republi-
can party Is now under new leadership.
We well know the corruption and out
rageous purchase Of votes during the
Addicks regime. We well know the cor
ruption that followed after the party,
bv reason of the financial bankruptcy OF
Add.cks, passed under the control Of the
old Organization The proof Of the con-
tribution of S53, 900 for vote-buying IN
Kent and Sussex counties, on the eve Of
the election Of 1912, was gwen by sworn
testimony before n committee OF the
United States Senate.
Can the new dispensation which now
seems 10 have cont .ol Of the Republican
party Of Delaware afford TO depend upon
corruption funds for success? We think
not At lea 81 we hope not.
