THE POLICY FOR DELAWARE.

-" The recent political occur.
rences in Delaware have served
to clarity the situation and to
crystalline the Administration
policy. There has been a great
deal Of misunderstanding, but
out of it all will come a more dis
tinct, clear-cut and definite
course.
"We believe that the Presi.
dents policy for Delaware may
now be summed upin the declara-
ton that Federal appointments
in the State will be made on the
Presidents own responsibility
with a single eye to the good of
the service and sound public
standard, and that he will accept
such advice and recommenda-
tions, or act through such agen-
cies Of his own, as will conduce
to that end.
"This is the sound and true
policy. 1t lifts the President
above the local complications and
disturbances. 1t is the rightful
assertion Of his own just pre-
rogative according to his own in
stinctive standard. The Presi-
dentis the appointing power un-
der the Constitution. Under a
long established political code
which all Administrations have
followed he exercises that power
on the advice and recommends
ton of chosen representatives
who presumably know the char
acter of the candidates and the
wishes of the people. President
Roosevelt has fairlysought to ap-
ply that practice to Delaware.
With divided representation he
has hoped for an amicable un.
derstanding consistent with the
public interests. But he has
found that with the exceptional
elements and conditions Of Della
ware the attempts to apply there
the rule which applies elsewhere
has only brought trouble and re-
proach.
ssThe time had come when he
was required to take stand
which would not be misunder-
stood. He has done so in the ap
nointment of Mr.. Nields as Unit
Cd States District Attorney-an
appointment based on the unani-
nous Endorsement of the bench
and the bar, and wisely recon-
mended BY Senator Ball who had

A GOOD WORK

The Delacore State Neaos Of
Dover is endeavoring to COM
pei the Express Companies doing
business in this State to comply
with the law. 1t will be remem-
bered that in 1887 the Legisla-
ture passed an act requiring the
Express Companies to pay q tax,
as all other business men and
corporations did then and still
do. The principal Q b. jec tio n
urged was that the Companies
would raise their charges enough
to pay the tax and probably even
more. To meet this objection,
Section 4 was inserted as quoted
on the first page of this issue. 1t
is well known that almost imme-
diately after the passage Of this
law, the rates on small packages
was raised, so that packages
which weighed three or eour
pounds and formerly paid a
freight charge Of twenty five
cents, now pay thirty or thirty
five cents. We are informed
that their schedule of rates is
now twenty-five cents for one
pound, thirty cents for two and
three pounds, and thirty-fiive
cents for four pounds. This in
crease may seem small but on
the great number Of small pack
ages carried, and such packages
make up a large percentage Of
the Express Companies business,
the additional revenues must
amount to a large sum. No
change, we believe has been made
in the rate per hundred pounds
on large quantities. AS the Ne,cs
points out, the only way to reach
the Companies under the law is
through their agents, and while
it may appear a hardship to pun
ish men for obeying the orders
of their employers, it is but one
Of the results Of such employers
action. The arrest and trial Of |
Mr.. Warrington will probably be |
made q test case, and a decision
should be promptly reached as
the Kent County Courts will
meet during the month. What
ever the outcome, the Ne,0s and |
the business men Of Dover can
be HEARTILY congratulated upon
their efforts to secure the enfor-
cement of a law enacted to pro-
tect the interests of the public,
but which has been violated thou
sands of times and would pre-
badly continue to be but for this
action.
