GARBAGE HERE.
Complaints Received From
Various Sections That COL
Iections Are Not Regular.

Complaints have been made about
the garbage collection in various
parts of the city on the grounds that
this, as "Clean Up Week" should be
especially observed and special ef-
fort be made in the disposal of the
garbage Immediately after it is set
out. 1t is claimed that large piles
OF refuse have lain before the resi-
dences since the beginning of the
week. 1t is not generally reanzed'
| however, that the garbage collec-
tors have q particularly hard job In
these six days and that despite the
large extra force that has been put
or to further the "clean up week
activities, it is a large undertaking,
allowances must be made for the
ccasiondi cases Of apparsn. =
lect. The citizens have responded to
the call "clean up more heartily
this veal than ever before with the
result that there has been thorough
house and yard cleaning and a de-
cided increase in the matter to be
disposed of. 1t is calculated to COW
err the entire city every day, but IN
some sections, this has been impos-
sible, with the result that the re-
fuse must remain a little longer
than was anticipated. The people
are assured however. that every
effort is being made to do the prop
er thing and that while collections
may not be mad regularly, every
man in the collecting system is put
ting forth every effort to make
quick work of the job.
The cooperation Of the schools
in the clean UT activities this year
is responsible for the decided in
crease in interest. The majority OF
homes have some member IN n
schools, and thus the spirit OF
"clean up" upon which speciai
stress is being~laid throughout the
entire school system enters most OF
the homes. The children are par
ticularly responsive and the compe-
| tition in the way of posters. slogans
and essays has added much inter-
est to the work. o..

The charge, I presume. was court
opinion of some importance which II
was desired 10 make public. and IL
seems that Judge Houston, who was
a eonfrere of Woottens on the bench,
enabled the Delaware Journal to
"srore beat" on the Gazette.
The other parts Of the letter refer
to matters political at q time when
the country was seething with excite
ment over the slavery question. and

contest between advocates and OPP
ponenis of slavery to make IL either

The friends with whom Editor John

ard and George Read Riddle and Rep
resentative William G.. Whitley. all
Democrats aligned with the slavery
wing of tho Democratic party. Judge
stephen A. Douglas of Illinois was
leader OF the free soil wing OF the par
| ty, opposed to the further extension
of slavery.
1t Is not surprising that Mr.. John
son sympathized with the large por-
ton of the Democratic party that
favored settlement of the slavery
question on less radical lines than
were advocated by the other faction.
| The Democratic party had elected
James Buchanan President year
previous. and it was supposed his adj
ministration would lead the country
to peaceful and satisfactory solution
OF the disturbing issue. And so II
would, in all probability, had not the
hot-headed representatives. of the
South seeded from the Union after
the election Of Lincoln. in 1860. For
| In that event the South would have
retained all it's representation in the

would have been rendered powerless,
especially with the kind OF man as
President as the world now knows

| Douglas maintained his leadership
and the Southern Democrats bolting
his nomination for President by a ma
iority of the Democratic National
Convention, in 1860, the pathway tc
victory for the Republican party was
clearly opened. Secession did tn,
