WHY is NOT AN INQUEST HERE2

"A number of suits having been
brought against the Jessup and Moore
Paper Company by attorneys for those
whose relatives suffered death or in
jury from the recent accident, the par
ticulars Of the disaster are likely to be
inquired into. Wilmington has many
large concerns which employ a great
deal OF labor. and It may be said to
their credit that they have usually
been fair in their dealings with their
employees. The Jessup and Moore Com
pany had a terrible accident in it's
plant recently. and many lives were
sacrificed. The company has done all
in It's power TO provide for decent bur
ials for the victims; they have Sc
cured the best medical attention for
the injured and have provided for the
wants of those. who by the accident,
are left destitute
But the question of legal responsible
ity remains undetermined. As far as
we can judge the company is not at
tempting TO evade responsibility, but
will leave that to the determination of
a competent court. It is surprising
that the coroner has held no inquest
The law provides for viewing the bod
les. but how this can be done with the
victims in their graves is hard to de-
termine. 1t would seem that sufficient
time has elapsed to have held this in
quest, and very naturally the people
are asking why It has not been done
This is not a matter for the company
but for the coroner to consider.

why He Wouldn't Marry

A friend of mine said the other day
that he would never marry.
"And pray, why not?" I inquired.
Then he proceeded to hold his mar
ried friends responsible for mis- desire
to continue in "single blessedness" as
they say.
These married people are so dis
appointing" he continued.
Il have a friend named Fred, whose
idea of happy married life was to fit
from one resort to another. from town

dream of pleasure. a gay dance from
year to year. Last week found him
wheeling the perambulator for exercise.
Fred fell in love with an Intellectual
girl. They were going to start a pri-
vate Browning society, read improving
books to each other every evening, and
discuss them. IL was a sane union. At
least they said So
Il dined with them recently. Fred
was disconsolate. He had found that

ooNonssIoNs AFrnRwARps

A distinguished party of Pennsylva-
mans the other day, headed by Cover
nor Stone. took the trouble to travel
to New York to see Mr.. Morgan, hop
ing that they might do something to
end the strike in the coal mines. The
great man sent them word that he was
too busy to see them, but made the fol-
lowing statement:
TELL the miners to go back to work.
Then, and not till then, will we agree
TO talk about concessions"
If this is the position Of Mr.. Morgan
and the combination OF coal mine oper-
ators. it is heartless and brutal II alb
solutely ignores the great public neces-
sity, which is becoming a matter Of
serious moment, and voices an absolute
Indifference to public opinion. II 1t is
statement Of the principle actuating
the operators, It is indefensible Mr.
Morgan speaks of concessions, but says
they will not be made until the miners
so back to work. Now, If concessions
are to be made. why should they not
be made now? If concessions are to be
made. presumably the miners are not
Ientirely without justification in making
their demands, and to insist that they
shall go back 10 work depending on
the generosity Of Morgan and his
friends. is repugnant 10 the spirit of
fair play. Presumably If concessions
are TO be made. they are to come as a
gratuity, and not as a matter Of right
But what assurance would the
miners have that their demands would
have consideration should they return
to work? They may argue that this at.
titude Of Mr.. Morgan does not show &
spirit which would regard their inter
ests more highly than it has in the past
There is a spirit of paternalism in thu
demand which it is natural for men Il
resent It says, You go back to work
acknowledging that you are whipped
and then We may graciously make con
cessions afterwards, TO be regarded a
a gratuity graciously bestowed"
When Mr.. Morgan thinks OF the mi
lions whose comfort and health d,
pend upon the ending of this strik,
when he thinks Of the thousands {
poor families demanding coal, whic
they cannot get, even at ruinous price
why should he not make any conce
sion that he intends to make, now?
looks as though stubbornness wei

Well. Lauray, l heerd somethin' the
uther day that shows what CRATE man
Mister Addicks nOmmynated for Con-
gress. 1t seams that William Mikel
some time ago thought that he would
serve his country in CRATE shape if the
President would make him Ambassador
to Roam. So he saw the President and
modestly stated that he was willin' to
sackrifis hisself
I'm told that Mr.. Roosevelt thought
he couldn't afford hit. as hit takes a lot
Of money to keep the soshul end a-goin.
They is so menny docks and emperors
and painter fellers to be fed and kept
ever mite that hit would cost a lot of
money.
They say that Willum Mikel told the
President he expected to live rite in
the Vaticun and to have his washin
done there But Mr.. Roosevelt said
that he was afeerd Willum Mikel would
run the Pope out and be a struttin
around in the tripel crown within a
week. and he didn't want TO be re-
sDonsible for that sort of oomplica-
shun.
That's the trubble: Willum Mkel is
too CRATE man to fill any ordinery
Dlase. He was cut out for a bigger
lob than Providence has blessed NOR
tails with. He's a sort of misft, Lau-
ray. made for a bigger customer than
can be found.
I'm reel sorry. Lauray, that Willum
Mikel when he made his CRATE address
on Mister Addicks as a soshul exampel
and pattern for our young men to fol-
Ter, dropped the subjee' so soon. I
rselev was lOol1in' for a racey campane

next Sunday shall be observed in the

One by one the crowd floated away, un-

aroused in the speakers stand. where
all the notables were seated, that Mr.

crowd came quietly back, and the SOW

THE VOTERS ASSISTANT ACT

Governor HUM has written letter
90 Willard Salisbury, in which he says
that he has sought advice from the At
torney- General on the matter Of his du-
ties under the new Voters Assistant

think. might have been briefer and a
little more respectful in It's tone, and
we are pleased to note that the Cover
nor in his reply did not depart from
that dignity which ever should char

II must not be assumed that Mr..
Salisbury was impertinent in address

The law has never been Officially con-
strued. and it is OF vast Importance at

port should be known. Neither must
we regard Mr. Saulsbury's letter as a
mere Individual request for a particular
action. AS the chairman OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee he represents
his party. presumably and simply
stands as its spokesman. Doubtless
then the Governor regarded his letter
as a suggestion from the great mass
of Democratic voters. and acted accord
ingly.
There is NOW no question raised as
to the merits OF the law, but only as
60 its constitutionality. There are
those who believe that it is indefinite

provisions Of the Constitution intend
