A surorease oil Addlcks

From Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
The action just taken by the Demo-
cratic members Of the Delaware Legis-
lature brings the senatorial deadlock to
a crisis. and opens a feasible and hon
orable way out. What the Democrats
offer is to support any ant-Addicks
man who may be named for the four
years term. and in return they ask the
-Addicks Republicans to vote for
such Democrat as they may name for
the short term Of two years. AS the
Democratic contributors TO this solu-
tion of the matter outnumber the Re-
publicans by more than three to one,
the proposition as presented is certain
ly "a generous one. and there should be
no hesitation or the part of the Repub-
llcans as to its acceptance.
It's immediate result would be TO give
TO the state of Delaware the full rep
resentation I'm the Senate, of which IL
has so long been deprived by Addicks.
although, unhappily. IL would not en-
tireiy eliminate Addicks from the situ-
alton, as he would again come before
the people of the State two years hence
as a senatorial aspirant There would
however be an end to Addicksism for
the present, which would be a great re-
lief and Delaware would be fully rep
resented I'm the Senate for at least two
years. which would be even more inn
portant.
! AS TO the men to be selected for the
vacant senatorial seats, the Democrats
must fix upon a man who is personally
fitted for the honor, while there can be
no question as to the choice of the Re-
pubiicans. Congressman Ball. who has
been thrown out Of bis seat in the
House of Representatives by tho
treachery of Addicks, is the logica
candidate for the Republican seat II
the Senate and justice and decenc,
alike demand that he should be award

GARnAGn coNTnACTs

The decision of Council TO award the
contracts for the removal of garbage
to the highest bidders raises the ques-
ton of the value of asking for bids.
Unless all contestants are treated faig-
ly the contracts should be awarded to
favorites without a contest. It cannot
be held that the persons securing the
contracts are entitled to especial con-
sideration because Of the service they
have rendered for the past year. In
deed, somebody has been very negli-
gent, and there was a real need for inn
provement.
If the accounts of the proceedings
which have been given to the public
are correct. there must be an Ethiopian
in the wood pile, and the matter should
not be allowed TO drop. 1t is said that
there were flaws in. all Of the bids save
IN the cases of those who proved sue
cessful. This is most remarkable and
suggests that the matter ought to be
investigated One way would be for
one Of the unsuccessful bidders to test
the matter in the courts. We are en-
titled to a good servlee-which We
haven't had, and the contract should
be given 70 the lowest responsible bid
der.

of the citizens Of Wilmington who are
identified with her interests. want a
new city charter Economy demands
it, and a decent administration Of af-
fairs is clamorous for it, But few
politicians say we should not have it.
They are backed up by the element
which doesn't know a charter from an
automobile, and yet they are made to
feel by the leeches on the body corpo-
rate that their sacred rights are IN
jeopardy by the proposed instrument.
The opposition is backed by faction
in the Legislature, which Is composed
almost exclusively Of members from
rural communities.
They do not know our needs, and
they do not care particularly foe them.
They have decided tina. it would not be
to their political advantage TO grant us
a charter, and so it is given out that
they will oppose it. Thus our welfare
is at the mercy Of men who know Of
Wilmington principally through the
daily papers.
We believe That in this country there
is a growing tendency to adopt the pol
icy of home rule. Under the new con-
stitution there is district representa-
ton in the legislature and members
are no longer elected from whole
county. why not carry the doctrine
further? Why not say that when the
people of Dover, Milford OF Georgetown
want a particular form Of municipal
government they shall have It? And
then let the idea be extended to Will
mington If it is urged that it is not
certain that the people of this city
want new charter, then let it be-
passed Professionally; let there be a
condition attached that it shall be rat
fed by the people at the next election.
Wilmington should object to being
made the football Of a few scheming
politicians.
