OHIO REPUBLICAN MACHINE.
Municipal Ownership Gets n Boost
from Hanna, Mckinley
and Dick,

The victories of Tom johnson in
Cleveland, Jones in Toledo and the
thr~ee-cent-fare ticket in Columbus has
aroused the republicans to the fact
that the people favor municipal own
ership. Charles W. Dick, chairman of
the republican state convention of
Ohio, who is the chief henchman of
Hanna and the president, made a
speech at Columbus before the Presi-
Dental Postmasters' association. in
which he marked out some startling
departures from the usual republic
an campaign issues and indicated
What to expect in the next republican
state platform. Dick said he favored
government ownership of all means
of communication and that he fully
indorsed the postal savings system.
Sooner or later" he said, 1.-The tele-
graph and telephone lines of the
country will be owned and operated
by the government; and it is proper
they should be, for if the government
can send a message by wire for five
cents 1t has no right to permit a pri-
vate corporation to extort 25 cents
for the same service"
Dick betrayed no sign that this was
the first time he ever spoke on the
municipal ownership side of the ques-
ton, and the postmasters, recogniz-
ing it as a new slogan, applauded the
sentiment vigorously.
It is also stated that an important
conference of Ohio republican leaders
was held, at which it was decided to
get into the field first with the dec
laration for municipal ownership.
This sudden change of mind of re-
publicans on the issue they have al
ways been fighting brings to mind
the declaration against trusts in the
Ohio republican platform of two
years ago, and the turning down of
Attorney General Monet, the only
man in their party who had shown
any effort to curl the trusts. That
Hanna, Mckinley or Dick really favor
municipal ownership is too absurd to
even be swallowed by an Ohio granger
from the back counties, for they have
for three or -four years been ardent
supporters of Public Policy, a Chi
cago publication that is published in
the interests of corporations that
own municipal franchises.
The perfection of the republican
machine in Ohio is brought to the
light by this meeting of republican
postmasters, who are owned and en-
tirely under the control of Hanna,
Mckinley and Dick, and of course are
expected to applaud any programme
that may aid in keeping them in Of
flee. They would applaud free trade.
anti-imperialism, free Cuba or free
anything. They are patriots who
only wait to be told what the people
want, and they espouse the cause.
The old flag and an appropriation is
their idea of patriotism.

WILLIAM [. WILSON MEMORIAL.

In view of the great public
service, the broad patriotism, and
the beautiful traits of character
which adorned tire life of the
late William L. Wilson, his friends
throughout the union have determined
to erect to his memory a memorial
wortyh of his life and character. In
determining the form that such me.
mortal should take they have been
greatly influenced by the following
facts:
When Mr.. Wilson was elected presi
dent of Washington and Lee Uni
versity, in the year 1897. he found
that there was no Chair OF Economics
in the university, and upon exaimna-
tion found that there was no ouch dis
tinct chair il any Southern university.
His public life had shown him the i'm
portaree OF intoxicating in the minds of
the young men of the country sound
financial and economic views. So i'm
pressed was he with this thought tina
out of his own meagre salary he estab-
llshed and largely supported chair OF
Economics, the funds of the null
yersity not permitting Of such expendi-
ture. His friends have therefore con-
ouded that no more fitting and enuur.
ing monument can be erected TO his
memory than the endowment of the
Chair of Economics which he himself
established, aud for several wears
maintained, in the university, to be
known as the William l., Wilson Chair
OF Economics; and that the memorial
may be worthJ of the man in whose
honor 1t is erected, and that the SER
vices of the highest scholarship may
DO secured in carrying out his pur.
pose, they have been impressed with
the propriety and Importance of raising
at least 100, COO for this purpose. The
Undersigned committee has been Sc.
lected to take charge OF and prosecute
the work to a completion, and il earn
estly appeals to the friends of educa
ton throughout the union, as well as
to Mr.. Wilson'S personal friends and TO
those who honor and exalt personal
virtue and patriotism, to aid in effect
ing the desired result:
Groyer Cleveland, chairman; Abram
). Hewitt, George Foster Puabody
lsidor Straus, Robert Fulton Cutting.
John q. Carlisle, james @. Garter.
Oswald Garrison Willard. Horace
White. Herbert Welsh.
Between $4,000 and 80, 600 have al
ready been subscribed to this fund.
Those interested in the project or who
may desire further information con-
corning it are invited to correspond

treasurer, 1905 Arch street, Philadel.

ADMIRALTY SUIT OF LONG STANDING

An old admiralty suit was revived in the
United Suites Court, Thursday, when
Edward r. Pugh of Philadelphia. attorney
for the respondent, made motion that the
libel be dismissed in the suit of James e.
Sadtier against the steam tugboat Startle,
and Col. Benjamin Nields appeared for the
libellant.
The motion was denied, provided the
libellant should close its testimony i'm.
mediately and give bond In the sum of $3.50
as security for costs, within 81 days; other
wise the motion shall be granted and the
libel dismissed, with costs.
The suit grew out of a collision with
some fishing smacks at the mouth of the

SICK DIET COOKING.
Mrs. Rorer Lectures for the Nurses at the
Delaware HOSPITAL

Mrs Horer Lectures for the Nurses at the
Delaware Hospital.
Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer OF Philadelphia Is
delivering series of ~ lectures before the
nurses and students at the Delaware Hos
pital, Her general subject is sick diet cook
ing aud she is making it most interesting
and Instructive, her preference being largely
for this kind of cooking, rather than tho
cooking Of fancy dishes. The second lecture
OF the series was delivered at the hospital
yesterday afternoon.
Mrs, horer devoted herself mostly to an
exposition of the comparative food values
OF rice and potatoes. By means of different
sized bottles, she illustrated these Compare
tive values. One pound of rice contains L.
PER cent OF water; whereas the same weight
OF potatoes contains rs per cent; rice is ~
per cent starch; potatoes, 81 per cent; rice
contains 7.s per cent of proteid, and pota-
toes 2 per cent.
Fonr-ffths of the inhabitants of the world
eat rice. In eating it, Mrs, Rorer SAID it
Is better to do so without milk, sugar and
butter, because their addition requires a
longer time to digest. To be properly
cooked, each grain of rice should be dis
tinct, should be swollen twice its original
size. and as whita as snow.

Court Just before it went out OF office.
Thursdays resolution was offered by
Commissioner Chandler and was as follows :
Whereas. The work on the Seventh
street bridge across the Brandywiue is pro-
crossing too slowly and Enthusiastically,
and the cost and expense of the present en-,
poyment OF an inspector by the day is bur-
densome; and,
Whereas, It appearing that when an in
spoctor OF the work at suid bridge is re-
quired, the Inspector should be a person
proficient In the knowledge of bridge
building; therefore. be IL
Resolved. That for the PURPOSES of saw
ing the taxpayers of New Castle county a
