WATCH THE RIPPER BILL

1t will be well to watch that ripper"
bill during the next few days of the ex-
piring Legislature There has been some
shifting of names which may cause
Trouble, but there viii be an effort to
smooth things out so that 1t may be
rushed through at the last minute.
Friends OF the measure claim that al
ready they haye the necessary two
thirds majority in the House. but they
are not so certain of the Senate.
Watch this bill. and note the acts
of the different members. Should II
pass, Wilmington would no longer be a
government Of the people, buta govern
ment by decree Of the Legislature. AIS
the bin now stands two members are
manned in it for office They cannot vote
ON the measure, and that cuts down the
majority. There has been unexplainable
delay in considering the city charter
bill, il may be because there are MEM

EDITORIAL OPINION
Progressive Charleston.

Progressive Charleston.
From the Atlanta Constitution
Charleston has taken ON wonderful
life through the indefatigable and un-
firing efforts of the young business
men Of that city. Banded together
under the auspices of the Commercial
Club, the young men of Charleston are
demanding and securing the business
recognition which the wonderful ad-
vantages Of this great port of the At
lantic is entitled to.
The United States selected that port
as the proper place for the great naval
station and fortifications of the At
lantic, and is spending $4,000, 600 on
this land-locked harbor. The govern
mcnt thus goes into partnership with
the young. enthusiastic and brainy ele-
ment Of the city by the sea In the pro-
lection of this great waterway. AS
the harbor must be kept open for the
entrance of Uncle Sam's big war YES.

merchant fleets Of the world.

and common sense. The Voters AS
sistant act is perhaps the most scoun-
drely measure ever placed on our stat
ute books and it requires no discus
sion to convince men with even clam
like intelligence that it should be re-
pealed.
The Jury Commissioner bin is "a
meritorious measure and should be
passed without amendment. But i'll
Kent and Sussex have decided that
they wish TO retain the present syss-
tenn, then let 1t apply to New Castle
alone. Under our present system we
do not have the best juries possible.
and the commissioner system has beem
shown to possess great advantages.
The United States Courts, admittedly
have the best iuries, and they are
drawn under this system. without
good juries the law is often crippled.
Wilmington should be given a new
charter, and the bill introduced at the
instance of the Board OF Trade on the
whole, is meritorlous. 1t ought to pass
with perhaps a few minor changes-or
without them. In place OF this a rip
Iper bill is being prepared which would
take from us the right to govern our
selves. 1t should be watched.
There is another bill that we ex-
pccted to see introduced sooner. but
which may yet be passed IL the mem-
btrs want to reform our ballot laws.
We refer to the bill to wipe out the
lblanket ballot and substitute the en-
velope system. Il embraces MOST Of
the features OF measure that the
Evening Journal urged Immediately
latter the late election 1t provides for
a return to the old separate party
ticket, and would enable the voter to
prepare his ballot before going into
the booth. His only care would be to
insert 1t in an envelope and seal il. We
are convinced that such a bill would
mean a great reform, yet there is lit
tie time for its consideration.
Then the farmers want good roads
Ihill. The subject has been sufficiently
agitated, and It is felt that we should
make a beginning at ONCE. Amy mis-
takes that may become apparent under
the working Of the law may be remed-
led at the next session of the Legisla-
ture.
There are several other measures Of
merlt, but we shall content ourselves
with naming one more. We TRUST the
Humanitarian instincts of our law
makers will be touched. and that they
will pass the tuberculosis Sanitarium
bill Not a great sum is needed, and
from the advance in the science of
Treating this disease we are certain
that many lives could be saved. and
that In time consumption might be
Ieradicated.
The time is short. but we believe that
all OF these measures should be passed.
This Legislature has not made a
glorious record. but it may yet par
TALLY redeem itself and justify the
election of its members.

The canitoI Dry.

From the Cleveland Leader (Rep).
Gen. w. b. Shattuc. Of Cincinnati, is
blamed for the insertion in the immi-
grafton bill of the amendment prohib-
iting the sale of liquor in the Capitol
at Washington, and it is intimated
that he permitted the amendment to
go through with the purpose Of reveng-
ing himself upon other members OF
Congress.
81. matters not what the purpose of
the amendment was or the motive
which prevented the striking out OF
the amendment in either the House or
Senate. Congress has done absolute
ly right in decreeing that stop shall
be put to the sale of liquor in the very
building in which the laws for the
government of the nation are made.
