WHERE ELKS WENT WRONG.

No sympathy is due the 900 mem
becs of the Elks whose picnic excur-
sion steamer was boarded by the crew
of a prohibition cruiser and rifled
of all the gin, whisky and brandy
which had been eaved for consumption
on the way back to Hoboken. People
who insist on taking unnecessary
chances with prohibition enforcement
laws deserve small mercy or considera-
ton.
If the ElkR want TO hold n wet pic
mic they should charter a Shipping
Board boat. of which there are plenty,
and proceed to imbibe at their ease.
No prohibition authority can interfere
with the vessels of the Shipping Board
without risling indictment or con-
tempt of court. Drinking on board
them is perfectly respectable and may
be carried on with the assurance of
protection from the whole Atlantic
feet. The flag, the courts and the
naval strength of the United States
combine to render the practice per-
fectly safe. Lawbreak1ng II may be
but II is licensed lawbreaking. and
when a man can get a license TO break
the law he ought TO get one or take
the consequences.
This has not been sufficiently en-
phasized. Mr.. Dasker is the only Off

THE DEMAND IN MOVIES.

The distributor of motion pictures
ranks high in Importance before the
movie going public; he is the king pin
whose activity determines the kind of
hlms that theatre owners select foe
their audiences and the kind of films
that producers undertake. What he
can sell becomes the standard of de-
mand at both ends the so-called Gre
alton of movies and their consumption.
So when a number of distributors

CAMPAIGN APATHY.

WANT AIVN Al Al M
The Presidential campaign of 1904 |
was conspicuous, almost until within
few weeks of the voting. for unusual |
apathy so far as public interest was
concerned. The Republican campaign |
was especially apathetic. and party |
managers were alarmed. Nonsense"
said Uncle Joe" Cannon. who had pre-
sided over the convention that nomi-
mated President Roosevelt. ITS not
apathy. it's satisfaction" Perhaps
Uncle Joe" was right. Perhaps some
Of the potent agencies of Republican
campaigning made difference. At
any rate. there was no apathy on cleo
ton day and Mr.. Roosevelt was elect
ed by a large majority.
Complaints of apathy are now heard
throughout the country. especially in
the East. They are heard in Della
ware. and the managers of the Repub-
lican party are visibly worried. For
the apathy-alarm;ngly displayed by
the figures OF very light registration
plainly affects the Republican party
more seriously than it affects the
Democratic party. Hence the alarm.
II is evident. however. there is more
than apathy as a disturbing factor in
the local Republican campaign. There
is a large amount of disgust in the
Republican party. Republican voters
are deeply disturbed by the record
of their party in the nation and espe-
cially in the State. They are appalled,
at oppressive taxation, the natural
result Of inefficient, extravaganza adj
ministration. And they are making
disappointment by refraining from
registration.
Apathy also prevails in Democratic
party circles. bur not to such an ex-
tent. Continued defeats are apt to
make the voters of a minority party
somewhat apathetic in all campaigns,
and Delaware Democrats are no ex-
ception to the rule. But they may
realize the present favorable oppor-
tunity to an extent that will bring
them out in full numbers on the final
day Of registration, while laggard Re-
publican voters have no such incen-

fractional divisions also serve to in.
crease the Republican troubles. There
is an utter lack of harmony or effec'
tive party organization. Senator dl

purposes, as the formers reelection
this year would be a blow to the lat

top the Alabama offer If it is higher
