Stories From Here and There
Inc Crowd Did Moi Insist

A capital story is told Of one Of the
Oldest practitioners at the Erie county
Bar. He was arguing a motion at a
neTghboring county seat and, as it
sometimes happens, was depending
more upon his own sound logic than
upon authorities for success. At a
critical juncture the Judge Interrupted
the speaker with this inquiry: Yes,
understand; but where are your au-
thorities upon the subject?" IF your
Honor please" retorted our friend,
briskly, 81 will explain the absence Of
authorities, with your permission, by
telling a little story. A young man
freshly admitted to practice had pro-
duced in court in support Of a motion
wealth of authorities. After allow
ing the young man to read page upon
page of dry decisions, the Judge at
length interrupted wearily, You are
just beginning to practice. said he;
let me give some advice. It does very
well to cite authorities once in a while,
but you must always trust somewhat
to the common sense of the Court
It was a bold, almost audacious po-
sition to take, but it won the old lawyer
his case.

PENINSULA PRESS
Dlsgraceful

From the Sussex Republican.
When the name Of the Rev. Joseph
Brown Turner was presented by the
Democrats at the organization or uhe
Legislature on Tuesday some groans
and Kisses were heard. Why? Because
he as a minister Of the gospel has not
hesitated to denounce the bribery and
corruption in this State, and did not
hesitata TO denounce such practices in
an admirable address delivered at the
last annual banquet Of the Sons OF
Delaware in Philadelphia.
The Rev. Turner is a strong man and
he has the strength OF his convictions
and the courage to express them, which
we are sorry to say very few Reverend
gentlemen in this State seem to have,
In fact some Of the cloth are staunoh
supporters and advocates OF Addicks,
and one denomination in particular
being practically identical with the
Union Republican organization. II
these men are satisfied with their posi-
tion of dividing service with God and
Mammon Addicks II is their business,
but they have no right to undertake to
suppress any man in the free expression
OF his honest opinion. 1t is an evil
dence Of how far this Addicks invasion
has effected the State and to what ex-
tent the hirelings of this creature are
ready to go to advance his cause. They
regard neither God nor man in theiI
efforts TO elect him, and would ride
rough shod over the liberties of free
men. Il is time this thing had been
stopped and it is the duty of the peo-
pie Of this State to sink all mere per
sonal and partisan feelings and put al
end to this deplorable condition, be
fore Il is too late.

CARS RUN DIFFERENTLY NOW
New Castle and Delaware CITY
Hallway Company Has a New
Schedule

A new schedule went into effect on
the New Castle and Delaware City rail-
way today. A car will leave Fourth
and Market streets every forty minutes
for New Castle and for Delaware City
one hour and forty minutes. Only three
cars will be in service for New Castle.
In order to accommodate the 300
workingmcn who come from New Cas-
tie to this city every morning cars will
leave New Castle at $40, $40, 6. 6.20,
$40 and z o'clock. These extra cars
will run from Fourth and Market
streets each afternoon on a twenty
minute schedule, from 4.20 until 7
o'clock. Loud and vigorous complaints
are made by New Castle and Delaware
City people over the change.
At the meeting of the Levy Court on
Tuesday, it is expected that the matter
of running cars over the county bridge
and Chestnut streets, New Castle, will
be brought up. When the company
was given permission to lay its tracks
over the bridge the Levy Court lin
tied the privilege to three years with
the understanding that the trolley COM
rany was to do certain grading and
draining. The company overlooked this
end of the agreement, it .s said, and
still runs without having the permis-
sion renewed.
The people of Delaware City are very
much incensed at the company. claim
ing that they are not getting the SER
vice the company promised.
Officers of the road say that ten ex-
ira men had to be laid off as the busi-
ness of the road did not warrant the
keeping of thirty men. The three cars
will be in charge Of the Oldest crews,
and the other men will go on the extra
list. After March / more cars will be
put on the road, but it is expected that
the single truck cars will be taken OFF.
The roadbed will be put in first-class
condition and an extra man has been
placed in the power house at night Sc
that the cars are kept clean and in
order.

Voters Assistant Law

From the Dover Index.
It is q regretable fact that Governor
HUM in his message to the General
Assembly failed to recommend the re-
peal Of the Voters Assistant Law.
Some parts of his message contain
recommendations deserving of careful
consideration and Of being made oper-
ative by Legislative enactment; but his
failure to recommend the repeal Of the
act creating the office OF Voters AS
sistant must create the natural infer
ence that our Governor deems the law
a beneficial one and fit TO remain on the
statute books
The act has proven to be an instru-
ment of the worst sort of political cor
ruption, and it was hoped that the
Governor would lend his influence TO
bring about its repeal. Having failed
to do so, there should be a sufficient
number OF members of the General AS
|sembly TO wipe the corrupting act from
the statute books. Corruption, no mat
ter from what source it may emanate
should be prevented so far as it is pos
sible to accomplish such an object. The
Voters Assistant Act affords the great
est opportunities for Infamous prac-
tices. Therefore. it should go; and il
is the bounden duty of representatives
of good government to see to it that
It will no longer disgrace our statutes
than 1t is possible to have 1t removed

A Vicious Law

From the Delaware Democrat
That the voters assistant law was
PASSED for the express purpose OF fur
thering trickery at elections is we'll
known to all, and that II has well
served that purpose has been proved
most effectually. Through its workings
the man in the booth is able to watch
the voter and see whether the one pur-
chased has done as he was paid to do,
and thus the secret ballot, the great
safeguard of our civil liberty. has be-
come thing OF the past. The effect
Of the law was clearly perceived by all
at the last election, and II was we'll
known to have been the means by
which Addicks and his adherents were
enabled to make their money tell at the
polls. Had there been no way Of find
ing out whether the purchased voter
carried out his part Of the contract the
Union Republicans would not have
spent such a large sum OF money, for
they woCld not have risked so mud
upon the certainty of those debauched
deceiving them at the polls. Governor
Hum. as an honest man, should have
lcalled the attention Of the General As

Too Ignorant

Booker T. Washington, the other
night at public meeting related this
story. showing the contempt Of the
lower class Southern whites for the
negroes:
"One day" said Mr.. Washington, "a
poor, ignorant white man came to the
polls to vote.
" 4 wish you'd oblige me by voting
this ticket. said a bright mulatto.
-" What kind of ticket is it?' asked
the poor white man.
" Why, said the mulatto, you can
see for yourself.
" But l can't read
Well, said the negro, this ballot
means that you are in favor Of giving
equal franchise to both white and COL
ored citizens
Tt means to let the niggers vote,
does 1t? Then l don't want it. Mig
gers oon't know enough to vote.

that typhoid germs are taken into the
system through liquids, and the most
likely source is water. Everyonesho
know that water that appears perfectly
clear to the eye and which is palatable,
may contain great numbers Of disease
germs.
The most effective way TO render
these harmless is TO subject the fluid to
that degree Of heat which results IN
boiling. Tho great increase in popula-
tion in modern times and the tendency
Of men to gather togetherin centres like
tne great cities, raises the most diff
cult problems for health boards. The
soil beneath the streets becomes i'm
pregnated with disease germs, and at
times even the air is deadly.
It is a question: wneiher we have not
reached time when, as a precaution-
airy measure, We must refuse food or
liquid that has not been made sterile
by the use OF heat or other agencies.
Most Of our food IS cooked and practi-
cally all the liquids we take, with the
exception Of water, are free from germs.
Il follows. then, that If the practice of
boiling water were generally adopted
great step towards immunity would
be taken.
The health authorities in our large
cities have discovered a menace to
health in the market gardens which
flourish in the adjacent country, and
even in the vacant lots and low grounds
within the city lines. In these centres
Of population the land is often satur-
ated with the offscourings Of the city,
and such articles as lettuce, spinach
and celery that are eaten raw are liable
to carry the germs of disease into the
system. It has been urged, too, that
there is a source OF danger in expos
ing for long periods in open stalls
Vegetables not intended to be cooked.
In dry weather every wind Is dust
laden, and the dust is impregnated with
disease germs. Just what precautions
must be taken to prevent contamina-
tion from this source remains to be
solved.
We are making progress in city sani-
tation, and should congratulate our
selves on the fact that whenthe public
is asked TO cooperate, there is a hearty
response. II is only in the last few
years that the disgusting and danger
GUS habit Of indiscriminate splitting
has almost disappeared. In railroad
stations and other public places this
was formerly a source Of danger and
great annoyance, especially to women
Even in the street cars 1t is growing
rare. all Of which means much for the
general health.

Owing TO the efforts OF certain OF the
city officials and the generous response
of the Reading Railroad Company, the
destitute poor are TO have coal. This
means more than we can understand to
those who are to be the recipients.
Persons representing the othcr extreme
in the world will manage to secure

But our attention has been called TO
the difficulty which the poor. who are
not dependent on charity, hut cannot
buy their fuel in large quantities. have
to meet. There are many such persons
in every city, and Wilmington has her
share. These are accustomed to buy
coal from hucksters or from the corner
grocery. They purchase in quantities
of peck. a half bushe1 or a bushel
They never have sufficient means e
