THE LATE LEGISLATURE
The Legislature of 1911 has
been a grievous disappointment,
especially the House—people did
not expect much from the Senate;
from the House they did.
The Republican majority in the
Senate wasted over one-half the
time allotted by the Constitution
for their session in that miserable
Churchman affair and both
houses lost much time by opening
their respective sessions about
noon and adjourning them in a
few hours thereafter to take the
afternoon trains for home.
Onr party bad a majority in
both bouses and therefore, for
everyone of these sins of omis
sion and commission of this L°>g
ialature, we are justly chargeable
and for everyone of (bem will
we be called upon to answer by
the people hereafter.
The electorate of Delaware,
with the intelligent, patriotic
citizens everywhere in this broad
land to-day, are awakened to the
absolute need of a pore ballot
and a candidacy free fromtbe im
proper use of money. Since onr
Republican Legislature refused
to repeal that vicions aid to a
corrupt ballot—"The Voter's As
sistant Law," and further, also
refused to pass a law—now wide
ly adopted in other states—re
quiring the publication of cam
paign expenses—the party must
hereafter face that electorate who
will sternly hold ns to acconnt.
The failure to repeal the Bottle
Law is more justly chargeable to
the Democratic Party though
some recreant Republicans are
also to blame therefor. Our
party also played petty politics
in refusing to pass the bill vali
dating the Acts of the Wilming
ton City Council, an important
measure wholly non-partisan and
demanded solely on economic
grounds that were never even
questioned.
Then, too. the Republican Sen
ate is responsible for sending
Delaware to the rear in that great
reform movement which is sweep
ing tbe Union, and will succeed
without her help—the popular
election of Senators. We are
sorry to say the course of Mr.
Drexler in voting with his reac
tionary associates, is neither to
his credit nor in any possible
manner consistent with the stand
he took in the matter of tbe elec
tion of Henry A. dnPont for the
U. S. Senate.
For his nnweared devotion to
the interests of bis constituents ;
for bis courageous stand for a
pnre ballot and for tbe repeal of
the Bottle Law, and for his up
right and able course throughout
the entire session, onr Represen
tative, Hon. Frank R Pool, has
richly earned the gratitude of all
tbe citizens. The Republican
voters of St. Georges Hundred
are proud of bis record and The
Transcript predicts for him in
the future a yet more distin
gnished career if he desires fur
ther to serve the people
Finally, we commend for this
Legislature's use the words of
thé General Confession.

of a four years interregnum he

regime of quiet tbe entire country

quarter of a century long con
tinuous presidency, has made his
office an instrument of intoler
able tyranny, against which the
country has at last revolted, now
that the soeptre is slipping from
out his aged grasp.
That form of slavery known as
peonage still continued under his
rule, while the bondage beneath
which the wretched Yaquis of
Yucatan groaned was of the most
frightful character.
It has been plain for months
from the failure of Diaz prompt
ly as heretofore to suppress the
insurrection, that his throne was

Mr. Taft's sudden, mysterious
military movement on the Mexi
border remains yet unex
plained. He has not added to
his already damaged prestige
by his silly attempt to put the
country off with lies too diaphan
ous for even gullible childhood
to swallow. If he meditates an in
vasion of Mexico to protect the
Standard Oil and Wall Street

say, then he must know he is
overstepping his constitutional
functions as an executive and

it possible on tbe other hand, that
Japan, who owes
boundless debt of gratitude for
teaching that half barbarous
people 60 years ago its first steps
in the Christian civilization that
has made it a power among na
tions, is really so blinded by na
tional vanity and greed as to plan
the establishment on our South
ern borders of a petty Nipponese
dependency, by taking advantage
of Mexico's straits to seize Lower
California? A perfidy such as
this would indeed warrant the
president's action in thus mass
ing 25,000 U. S. troops with as
sisting warships to checkmate it.
Can it be that Lt. Hobson after
all is playing the role of a warning
Cassandra, to be as little heeded
as was old Priam's daughter by
her skeptical countrymen?
If such an outrage as an as
sault upon our Pacific cities
should be made by insensate
Japan, then the righteous wrath
of this peaceful but mighty Na
