A MIsCHIEvOUs SCIENCE.

Though eaveral days have elapsed
alnce a physician addressing Chicago
audience announced the discovery OF
nav ecience by which the dead may be
brought back to life, we trust Il is not
tco late to institute proceedings where-
hv eocietv may be protected against
the further development Of this oc-
cult art. According TO the news dis-
match the experimenters have already
succeeded in bringing dead dogs back
10 life go that they could walo and
do everything except function mental
ly." and IL ls only a question OF
time before tho came effects can be
produced in the body of a dead man
or woman"
II Ia pretty generally conceded that
wa now have quite n surplus of people
who can walk and do everything ex-
cept function mentally" and enc
school of acientiste has been engaged
for many years upon an effort TO
solve tho problem Of what 10 do with
them. Any prop psltion TO add 20 their
number by partially reviving the dead
would be a distinct atep backward. We
cannot conceive of any Legitimate In
tereSt W0ltn WoNl1 DsnfuN ny SUN ~
revival of the departed. There is. Of
course, in this city the Republican
organization. which would be glad Of
an access Of the numbers cf those who
can do everything except function
mentally and as the time has gone
by when IL could make use OF the oc-
cupants of the cemeteries IN their nat
ural state. 1t might be siren gthened
BY the perfection OF n science which
would enable them TO get up and vote.
But what our city needs is an increase,
! MT O. decrease. in the proportion OF
those who can function mentally. es-
pccially at election time.
We trust that the Chicago scientist
! is a faker. pure and simple. II not, he
should be restrained by injunction

timely alarm clock in the ears OF

DIRTY HANDS.

| have TO wash myself at night before

An wash again when get up. and
wash before I'm fed,
An Ma inspects my neck an ears an
Pa my hands an shirt;
They seem TO wonder why IL is that
I'm so fond of dirt,
But Bill-my chum-an' l agree that
we have never seen
A feller doing anything whose hands
were white an clean.
Bills mother scolds the same as mine
an calls him in from play
To make him wash his face an hands
a dozen times a day.
Dirt seems TO worry mothers so.
But when the plumber comes
To fix the pipes. It's plain to see he
never scrubs his thumbs;
His clothes are always thick with
grease, his face Is smeared with
dirt,
An he is not ashamed 10 show the
snudges on his shirt.
The motorman who runs the car has
hands much worse than mine,
An l have noticed when we ride
there's dirt in every line.>
The carpenter who works around our
house can mend chair
Or put up shelves or fix the floor. an
mother doesn't care
That he's not In his Sunday best; she
never interferes
An makes him stop his work TO so
upstairs to wash his ears.
The fellers really doing things, as far
as l can see,
Have hands and necks and ears thai
are as dirty as can be;
The man who fixes fathers car wher
he can't make 1t go
Most always has a smudgy face, his
hands aren't white as snow,

The most important men in town hav,

BUSINESS IN POLITICS,

BUSINESS ana politics are not, Rs =
rule. held to be congenial. The pre-
vailing opinion Is that they are in
compatible and will not work together
IN double harness. One is supposed
10 bc n detrimcnt to the other when
combination is attempted, and the In
lection OF politics into business is held
To be unwise. But occasionally there
appears evidence that the two may be
combined with practical and profitable
results.
At Middletown. In New Castle
county. is published a weekly news
paper called the Transcript. It was
started about half century ago. and
for more than half that period was
an ardent supporter of the Democratic
party. II was very good rural
weekly. especially under the owner
ship and direction OF W. Scott Way,
who impaired to It a distinct editorial
force and character. Later, II fell into
Republican ownership and ever since
has supported the Republican party.
AZ a party organ under the changed
regime this paper has never been con-
sp'cuous. nor has It been unusually
meritorious as a rural weekly news
paper. II is merely the average coun-
try weekly. not equal to many Of its
rural contemporaries In editorial force
profitable business for a country
paper.
Why this distinction? It may be
age. Under the long-continued Repub-
lican control OF New Castle county.
the M,ddletown Transcript has been
eignally favored with political patron
age in the way of advertising and
county printing. For a long time II
also has enjoyed the advertising OF
sheriff's sales. even OF Wilmington
properties. which Is somewhat sur
prisins, as this favor Is largely at the
expense Of the two Republican dail!es
OF Wilmington. Why they have not
entered a vigorous protest against
this deprivation for the benefit OF a
country weekly is very strange. Also.
advertising Wilmington properties IL
such restricted medium is an
injustice 10 the debtors whose prop
erty Is put UP fer sale. But 70 II
goes.
The owner and editor OF the Mid
dletown Transcript 10 Thomas S
Fouracre. He is the man who seems
20 have made a very satisfactory
working combination Of business and
politics. Becoming active IN Repub-
lican party affairs IN his district he
was nominated and elected to the
Levy Court, which ONCE placed hin,
in an advantageous position for Sc
curing lucrative county printing and
no doubt was influential in securing
the sher,n's sales advertising for his
paper.
Mr.. Thomas s. Fouracre is now the
Republican candidate for State trea-
surer. a further tribute 10 his skill
in political manipulation. II elected
20 this Office. he may have an extended
feld OF operations in securing legiti
mate party patronage in the form o.
Advertising for his paper and jol
printing for his print shop.
Nothing succeeds like success,
even in combination OF business
and politics. We see in thi. instanc,
how the combination has worked
thus far. Whether It will be rendere,
more profitable depends upon the vot
ers.
