«És THE SMYRNA CALL SUBSCRIPTION. SI A YEAR PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AFTER NOON. 0. DAVIS BROWN, Editor and Publisher. SMYRNA, DEL., TUESDAY, OCT. 8, 1901. R. Keys represents tbe CALL at Clayton, W. S. Ilardcastle at Cheswold, are authorized to collect for same. YELPING AGAIN. One of the numerous editors of the State Sentinel tries to be funny in Saturday's issue and again attacks the Call because we have been somewhat active in showing up the Addicks Levy Court which is fast bringing Kent to the verge of bankruptcy by the reckless spending of county fi nances, with th This is a sore subject S^gjtinel editors. They to personal abuse nave Tesott week after Greek because there was nothing else they could do in defense of Addicks' henchmen. We consider the source of such articles and have been amused by Cale's vaporings. The Sentinel is a hireling mouth piece of Ad dicks' hence its editorial utter ances are bought and paid for by the Boston adventurer, fact is well known throughout the State and the attacks made upon reputable papers are taken for what they are worth—noth ing, absolutely nothing. We may be a block-headed tool, but even if this be so as the Sentinel says, the fact remains that we have not been bought by Addicks' money. Can the Sen tinel say as much? The Sentinel claimed recently that the Ad dicks Levy Court had paid but $643 for the attempt to build the lighthouse road. The writer of that article knew when he was penning that sentence that it was a lie out of the whole cloth. He is fast becoming a past mas ter as a perverter of the truth. In tact the Sentinel's arguments are made up of a pack of lies, but they injure no one but them selves. Tuesday's meeting of the Levy Court demonstrated we were right when we,had called for a halt in spending the county's money in mere mud piles, etc., for the sake of a few of Commis sioner Baggs' friends. Commis sioner Baggs was determined tc have the causeway built, when it was not needed, and after wast ing nearly three thousand dollars of county funds the Levy Court, when the Democrats had a ma jority, owing to the absence of a Republican member, put a stop to the outrageous extravagance until an investigation had been made. That investigation has been com pleted. The lie is given the Sentinel by its own followers. Republican members of the Court said Friday in this town that they would not vote for another cent to be expended ;upon Mr. Baggs' pet scheme. It is useless to in dulge in further argument about the matter. Three thousand dol lars have been wasted in mire and according to Mr. Baggs, it will take $1500 more to complete th* road. Virtually that means $3, 000 more. Even the Republican members of the Levy Court were appaled when they were made understand what Mr. Baggs had done, and tHe Duck Creek Com missioner was called down. The Sentinel has abused for telling the truth. That hire ling mouthpiece has been making a partisan effort to screen Mr. Baggs and the other Addicks members of the Leyy Court. It has only weakened the cause ol Addicksism in Kent County by trying to shield the gas man's henchmen in their extravagance. The evils of Addicksism are fast becoming apparent to the reput able citizens of the State. Look at Sussex County. What has Addicksism done for the people down there? Bankrupted them, county orders hawked about, the county's credit has been impaired and the attempt to float an issue of $50,000 county bonds has u terly tailed. The same state of affairs will soon exist in Kent County under Addicks' rule. The Democrats left the Addicks Levy Court of Kent a balance of $11,000. That money did not last long and $5000 was borrowed. Within a little while $5000 $10,000 more will be borrowed and by the time the next election This » or rolls around Kent's financial dition will be similar to that of Sussex County. In parting with this subject we would add that to con compare Addicksism with Saulsburyism is so ridiculous that we will not parley with the Addicks hireling who is paid to sling mud through the columns of the Sentinel. Might as well compare Cain with Moses. The difference in the two is about as great. Actdicks ism stands for all that is low and debasing. It has left a stench in the State that will not blow over for years to come. Such men as the Sentinel's editor are followers of the gas man because they were brought to the front by the Claymont gentleman. Were Mr. Addicks to suddenly lose his wealth he would not have a friepd left in the Union Republican ranks, in fact there would be no Union Republican party and the editor of the Sen tinel would be the first "to get in out of the wet." Idiotic lies promulgated and fostered by such men as the emergency writer of the Sentinel injure rather than benefit Mr. Addicks' cause. The yelping cur of the Sentinel howls against the Call every week, but his bark is worse than his bite. Such whelps are no good to themselves or any body else. "My Cattle" Mr. Addicks terms them in Sussex, the home of Cale. In the death of Col. George H. Raymond Smyrna has lost a valued citizen. Col. Raymond was progressive and when he un dertook any task, no matter if of little importance, he saw that the work was accomplished. He was a true friend to the poor and needy and was ever willing to ex tend assistance to young men starting out in life. Col. Ray mond was in the Legislature of 1867 defeating his opponent, the late Enoch Spruance, by over 900 votes. The deceased was a sterling Democrat and a business man, when engaged in active business pursuits, of recognized ability. He was the founder of the Fruit Growers' Bank of Smyrna and for a numbor of years its president. His had been a useful aud busy life and he will be missed by more than one man. Col. Raymond was the only aged citizen of Smyrna who had been born and always lived in this town. An avalanche of anti-anarchist bills is expected early in the com ing session of Congress, and the judiciary committees of the two houses will have their hands full. Coincident with the anti-anarch ist legislation it is expected there will be a renewal of the agitation for further restriction of immigra tion. This will lead to a fight, as a strong sentiment exists against handling this question. The friends of restriction, how ever, are expected to come for ward now with increased activity. Columbia is the pride of the American people, * Friday she defeated Shamrock II for the third time and the cup which have had in our possession for many years will remain on this side for at least another season. The Columbia proved to be faster than the Shamrock in any kind of a breeze. Sir Thomas Lipton took his defeat gracefully. Rumor says a Scotland syndicate will build a boat to contest for the cup next year. we so Parents who have sons holding i membership in a certain juve nile club here will save them selves future trouble if they will compel their boy to resign at once from that organization with i wild west title, men do not seem to recognize the enormity of their offense, but if such practices as they have been indulging in are continued, the perpetrators may not get off so easily next time. The young The reform movement in New Castle county seems to be gaining ground notwithstanding the ef forts of the Addicksites to the contrary. Addicksism will not bear an investigation hence the alarm in the ranks of the Union Republicans. I AS OTHERS SEE US. The Sussex Journal, dicussing the serious state of affairs in Kent County, brought on by the ex travagance and profligacy of Ad dicks' hencemen who are in con trol of county affairs, says: Sussex is not the only county in the State that is being filched by the politics-financial powers that be. When the Democratic Levy Court of Kent county was superceded by the Addicts body the county had a good cash bal ance to its credit. It had paid off considerable on the county debt and the county financial af fairs were in good shape gener ally, but a different condition oonfrontsthe Kent county tax payers to-day. The cash balance is gone, the county credit is gone, the Levy Court is trying to bor row money to pay the running expenses of the county, extrava gance in office is rampant on on every turn, and extravagant jobs with a pull are fast running the county worse in debt and more of it. It is this state of affairs all thrbugh the State. It is a bad plight. A gang that is in politics for what there is in it, is not to be trusted with govern ment affairs. But the people can blame themselves. They made the condition of affairs that con fronts them." Yes, the people can blame themselves,but the Kent County voters now see the mistake they made and in 1902 will kick the looters out of office. No one realizes this fact better than the Union Republicans, hence their frantic efforts to cover up their wrong doing. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. The triennial Convention of Episcopal bishops clergy and laity is now in session at San Francisco. One of the most im portant subjects to be considered at the convention is the re-mar riage of divorced persons, and a stringent canon against such marriages is being formulated by a special committee. That the report of the committee will be accepted is the general belief of the delegates already assembled. There • is only one dissenting member on the committee, with eleven on the affirmative side. The question of îèvising the cannons relating to marriage and divorce was taken up at the gen eral convention of 1898, held in Washington, and was then re ferred to a special committee of which the Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of the Trinity Church of New York is chairman. It is the report of that committee that re commends that no divorced per son be permitted to remarry in the Episcopal Church. Hereto fore the privilege of remarriage has been granted to the innocent party in a divorce suit based on certain grounds. The opinion of the committee is given that the making of a uniform divorce law in the United States is impracti cable. The monument erected by the Daughters of the Revolution in memory of the soldiers of Wash ington's Army at Valley Forge, has been completed and will be dedicated Saturday October 19. The Daughters of the Revolu tion are to be commended for their untiring efforts in this noble work. This society has been actively engaged in spread abroad the ideas of patriotism and love of county. ,. It is said Congress will take up the trust question at its next ses sion. That is about all it will do and the laboring people may look for no relorm. The Republican party is hand in hand with the trusts and the combines will con tinue to thrive by grinding the poor man. The scribes from Dover are busy fixing up a slate for Kent county,especially for Duck Creek hundred. Keep it up boys, but when the proper time arrives the voters ot this district will show that they can and will take a hand in the nominations. Congressman Ball will control the Federal patronage in Dela ware and the present postmasters will continue throughout the ad ministration. Thus Addicksism is given another blow.
