'PENNSY" COMPANY
ADOPTS NEW CHECK
System Of Marking Baggage
VIII Save Time and
Trouble

Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
have adopted a new universal baggage
check which has won the approval of
other companies and which will be in
troduced shortly on all branches of the
system.
The check is in two sections, one be-
ing retained by the shipper and the
other attached to the baggage. Spaces
marked out show whether the baggage
is a trunk or valise, and what kind Of
order it is in when received. On the
reverse side the time the baggage is
received is marked, as we'll as when
delivered with the number of pieces.
In commenting on the check rail-
road official said:
The name of the railroad and serial
letter printed directly over the number
enable the baggageman to see at a
glance what particular line issued the
check and i'm what series the checks
run; for instance. there may be on hand
two or more pieces of baggage bearing
the same check numbers, but coming
from different roads. Under the old
system, if the baggageman looked only
at the number. he was apt to make an
error in delivery.
The description of the baggage indi-
Gated on the duplicate enables the bag
Igageman to make quick delivery.
1t is said the universal baggage
check combines the qualities of cheap
ness, simplicity and efficiency. The
checks are duplicated. A hyphenated
number prevents crosses. making it al
most impossible to mismatch the fig
ures.

EoR CLEAN ELECTIONS.

VAT f SHALL not quarrel with the
w Democratic leaders Of this city
who have announced themselves fav-
orable to the elimination Of money for
improper purposes in campaigns. II is
easy to suote
"The devil got sick the devil saint
would be-"
We shall not stop TO inquire what
would probably happen were tho lead
ers Of the Democratic party to be do
mated 100000 for the purpose Of carry
ing the state. We shall not question
the genuineness of their conversion by
referring to their tragedy in the last
campaign-their hope based on the
generosity OF Gassaway Davis, and
their despair at being undeceived
Perhaps the lean pasturase Of by
gone years and the desert waste
stretching on and on before them, has
led them into clearer views Of things.
But, nevertheless. sincere or hypocriti-
cal. these Democrats have taken a
sound position, but they assume 1t not
as partisans. but as men and citizens.
no make evident their good faith.
We tell them that they can break up
election bribery in this state II they
are more intent on that than on carry
ing the election and getting offices for
themselves and their friends.
And why has bribery become an in
cident OF our elections? We think we
know. Democrats have possessed evil
dence sufficient to send Republicans to
Jail; and why didn't they use It for
that purpose? Because they knew that
Republicans had evidence sufficient to
send certain of them to jail
Now. we repeat, the Democrats can
break up. bribery if they win all deter
mine that they win not themselves en-
gage in It. And we win wager a big,
red apple that were they in good faith
TO outline their campaign on that basis
the Republicans would meet them. II
not. they could make vote buying al
most equivalent to conviction and
term in Jail.
Now we say in conclusion that any
honest attempt TO make our elections
cleaner will have the approval OF the
honest element in Delaware. There can
be no disapproval on account Of politics
but only on the ground that some men
are not at heart good citizens.

pENNYPAckER sEEs lIeAr.

H1s Excellency, Governor Penny
4 4 packer has made a discovery.
Until very recently he has been con-
vinced that Pennsylvania is the best
governed state in the Union. But the
recent election has enabled him to see
Ia new Pennsylvania. and now he is
convinced that certain reforms are not
only desirable. but that unless the
present legislature grants them new
legislature more responsive to the peo-
PIE is likely TO do il.
SO he has called an extraordinary
session to enact those laws which the
Governor did mention in his last mes
sage, and to repeal others which the
Governor was simple enough to sign
only few months ago.
The people have spoken; conse-
quently the present legislature viii con-
vene. and with great showing Of vir-
tue vote for the measures the dear
people seem to want They can then
loAdhn ANl lt-tlt'Ai'ill h'iHhhNHib oNi7
port on their record
The Governor now demands laws
governing the deposits of state funds
a new apportionment which the Con-
lstitutlon provides; personal registra-
tion Of voters by inference, the repeal
of the Philadelphia ripper" bill which
the Governor signed and the abolition
of fees in certain offices.
Now an OF these measures have been
as clamorous for reform during the
years Of Pennypacker's administration
as they are now But the Governor
has seen a great light, and now that
the election is over even Senator Knox
admits the necessity Of reform. 1t ap-
pears that there is great moral les
son in an election such as has just been
held in Pennsylvania, such as even
governors and Senators are bound to
heed.

EDITORIAL OPINION
conntrv an for cIties.

From the Baltimore American.
From time to time physicians and
other students Of sanitation have
argued the Feasibility and the advisa-
bility of pumping fresh air from the
country into the cities to at least dilute
the noxious vapors that arise from un-
clean streets, Uttered cellars and the
many other sources Of urban odors
and poisons. No economist Of this
school has yet devised a definite plan,
but all argue forcefully for the broad
proposition, and the matter has been
once again brought under discussion by
eminent physicians.
Assuredly this would have to be a
matter Of municipal ownership. If
there is one thing more than another
that citizens Of nearly all types viii
uncomplainingly endure it is what is
called bad air." The city person be-
comes so accustomed to an atmosphere
heavily laden with a thousand deaths,
according TO analysis, that fresh air
and pure would be an almost warranted
innovation. If 1t were forced upon him
without cost he would probably accept
It without much complaint, but any
fresh air company which should expect
to sell ozone as the gas or electric COM
pany sells light or heat or power. by
measure, would soon discover that most
people look upon their lungs as proof
against the worst atmosphere.
However, the day may come when
pure, cool. fresh air win be pumped
from mountain and seashore. and when
every well-regulated family will have
both kinds plped into Its domicile, as
many now have both gas and electric
light 1t would assuredly be glorious
to turn on the air laden with perfume
Of the mountain pines, or with the
odor OF the salt seas with a slight
twist OF the wrist. In such surround
lngs the poet would never have thought
Of exaltng gales from Araby the
blest," when he could have either or
both Atlantic or Ocean City and Pen
Mar by turning a stopcock.

Army Changes Needed.

From the Detroit Free Press.
1nasmuch as out of q total OF So 433
enlisted men there were last year 6.533
desertions from the regular army the
seriousness Of the situation to which
Major-General +. G. Ainsworth calls at
tention in his annual report Is apparent
The military secretary insists that until
there comes a radical change of public
sentiment towards the army and the
deserter Is regarded as a criminal. "to
be ostracised and hunted down as re-
lentlessly as any other. transgressor Of
the laws desertions will continue to
be excessive There is no denying the
fact that at the present time desertion
Is looked upon as nothing more serious
than the breaking Of a contract which
has proved distasteful. Enlistment is
not infrequently regarded as evidence
OF general shiftlessness and lack Of
that ambition which should be the lot
of every man. Ordinarily the army is
viewed as the refuge OF those seeking
a life Of comparative ease, and to whom
Incidence is Of greater consequence
than remuneration.
Various reasons could be cited In sup
port OF this belief. mistaken though it
may at times be. The pay Of a soldier
is not sufficient to furnish any attrac-
tion to the young man imbued with the
desire to make a place for himself
In the world. The training proves valu-
able. but under the most favorable con-
.dltions there is comparatively little
chance Of securing a commission. Army
life I'm time OF peace is devoid Of that
strenuOusness which makes It endur-
able to American manhood in time Of
trouble. Under existing conditions it is
an imposslbillty TO secure recruits OF
the desired standard because OF the op-
portunities offered in private life. If
we are to maintain a standing army
it Is clear that greater Inducements
must be offered to men to enter the
service. Added compensation would
assist materially, and the amount ex-
pended annually In tracing deserters
and Furnishing them II dispursed i'm the
form Of increased pay would go far
toward elevating the standard OF the
army and reducing the number of
desertions

Here Is An Example Of the higher crit
icism from the Topeka Herald: "Ac-
cording to the Bible Methuselah be-
gat Lamech and lived 7S2 years
thereafter. Lamech lived lS2 years
and begat Noah. Noah was coo
years old when the food occurred.
Was Methuselah drowned?" There
is a good deal Of this kind Of criti-
cism that leads to false conclusions
because some strong probabilities are
overlooked. We don't believe that
Methuselah was drowned. Many a
man learns to avoid water before he
is twenty-five, and. therefore. It is
likely that before ne reached the ma
ture age OF 600 Methuselah had grown
wise enough not to trine with it.
There are lines OF higher" and

specimen OF ours.
