LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
About Splitting.


Editor Of The Evtn.ns Journal
Splitting ON the floor even in the privacy
ami solitude nf Ose's own chamber ad-
mitted,y indicates a very low order Of in
telligence. shocking neglect Of early
tra.nn.s. or a grOss disregard for the first
principles h hygiene and good breeding.
But splitting on tne floor OF a public con-
vcyance such as trolley car is simp.y ua-
spcakablc and disgusting beyond all toll
GRAFTON
Nevertheless this offense against the
law OF good manners and an order Of our
Board Of Health Is permitted and COM
mittcd by those who should and could pre-
vent IL. the conductors on our street cars.
The absence OF what formerly was n
part Of the furniture OF every car. a sign
prohibiting splitting on the floor, is now
quite noticeable. may say II is the rule.
POSI- bly, the spitters think this frees them
from all responsibility and gives them the
right TO offend against the health and
sensibilities OF their fellow men. The law
can be relied upon to deal with this at no
distant day
In the meantime the remedy is a simple
one; let every conductor on our street cars
/ stop using the floor as a spittoon and
when he secs the offcnse committed by
any publicly reprimand the offender. and
the filthy practice viii soon be broken up

OPINION
Traffic in Cocaine.

From the Washington Star.
A news paragraph IN the Star tells
OF remarkable complaint filed at the
police headquarters by a local druggist
to the effect that his trade in cocaine
has been ruined By man who is ped
ding this drug from door to door. He
asked for official Intervention TO put a
stop to the unlawful enterprise. He
was told that the police authorities
have little sympathy with him IN the
loss Of his trade in this particular line,
but that 1t is at the same time a
matter Of public interest that the un-
licensed vender OF cocaine be appre-
hended.
Cocaine is a drug which has few
legitimate uses. Surgeons employ II
for the alienation or prevention OF
pain in operations. and its. sale should
be kept under the most severe restric-
tions to prevent the drug from being
improperly administered. II it Is q
fact. as suggested by the druggists
complaint. that there is profitable
traffic i'm cocaine at the stores.whici
can be ruined by peddlers. it must be
for uses which are to some extent
outside of the legitimate field
1t is well known that cocaine is taker
as means OF stimulation. with de-
moralizing results upon the system
J II is one OF the secret vices aEains
which every aFercv OF law should b'
employed vigorously.
The peddler who is making none,
by this doublv unlawful traffic deserves
the severest punishment II caught. I
would appear from the news Statement
that there is not a sufficient law OF
the statute books to reeulate the salt
Of the drug. and whether the un'
licensed vender is caught or not. th'
case should result IN m immediate
amendment to the existing laws 81
that the police will be able to cop'
with such cases and at the same tint
keep corrective eye upon the drui
stores themselves.

An EStravaqant Act.

Editor or The Evening Journal:
When the mariner outs his shore
lines, steors into the trackless ocean
and the shore begins to fade he loses
confidence in the cunning OF his wealth
or eye. is 'all at sea" and at once re-
sorts to figures-to mathematics So
when passing bills for extending streets
through meadow lands we shall be lost
in the fog unless we base our action on
computation. SOphistry must always
yield when in battle against figures.
The suggestion OF little mathematics
win show the utter righteousness of
this Dwesfth street bill.
The bin requires this street to be
opened one mile long and 100 feet wide
through the lowest part OF Cherry Is
land. Many places a 9-foot MI wolld
be required to bring the street to grade.
The bill requires the extreme width OF
100 feet to be graded all at the same
time. Everyone knows that there is no
llling material within miles OF these
low islands. 1t must be earted there or
got from the Delaware channel.
Here is the cost OF filing by hauling:
A fill one mile (i760 yards) long. 3 feet
high and 100 feet wide would require
10000 cubic yards OF earth. If II were
filled only s feet high 1t would take
i17.O40 yards. II would cost to buy and
haul this earth from the hills go cents
a yards
10000 yards a 6Oc equals s1O5.0O0.OO.
l1704O yards a 6Oc equals S70.224.OO.
This would have to be paid by the
city and the land owners by some un-
ascertainablc apponionment. Neither
the city nor the owners desire to fall
Into this bottonless pit.
The cost and time required to per-
form this work may be given thus: The
hire Of a team per day. SO; amount
hauled, yards. Ten teams would haul
so yards per day. BY working 200 days
a year 10000 yards would be delivered
II would then require Il years for Il
teams to fiji 176.OOO yards or II years
70 fiji this street only feet high It is
suggested by some that this bill is a
dummy. intended to prevent the get.
ting OF a. bill through this session FOL

wide to grade all at one time is pre-
posterous. IL is work for years. AM

SHALL FOOTBALL COZ

q ENATOR ROSE proposes to pro-
- hibit football at Delaware Col
lege. There have been others who be-
fore senator Rose reached the conclu-
sion that the game ought to be pro-
hibited. but most Of them have passed
away while football hourlshes.
We confess that II we have any pref
ndice It is against the game, but there
are several other people in the world
and they hold a different view. But
football is brutal" someone remarks.
THAT depends upon the point Of view.
To see twenty-five young men battering
into each other rolling in the mud
and putting every ounce OF muscle in
to the EFFORT to get the pig-skin behind
the goal posts-wlth an occasional
young man laid out with bruise or
sprain--this may appear brutal But
when. the game is over TO see eleven
tattered mud -bedaubed young men
who have tasted the dregs OF defeat
stand up and cheer the victors. and
then vow TO win the next time, is a
side which II brutal yet has in it an
element which we like.
True there Is an occasional accident'
but so there is in cunning. skating or
fishing. There is even an element Of
danger at Sunday school picnic.
II we had the making OF the rules
for football we would have more open
playing; we think thai much OF the
dangerous element could be eliminated
without. maming the game. But we
don't have the making Of the rules and
the game continues to be played under
the sanction Of men. who are as ex-
pert and as much interested I'm youth

DAIRY INSPECTION.

Z YER since council passed the or
L. dlnance requiring an official in
spection OF dalries there has been con-
siderable feeling expressed by the far-'
mers who supply milk in this city.
There are many producers who can
say truthfully that their dairies need
no oficial inspection and that they
already observe every sanitary pre-
caution. and who insist on absolute
cleanliness
But while this Is true, yet 1t must
be remembered that laws are not made
for those who observe their obligations.
but for the man who does not. II there
are ten farmers who have supplied
milk to this city from diseased cattle
and under circumstances where abso-
lutte cleanliness and purity have not
been observed. then council was JUS
tiled IN passing the measure which
has caused the protests. There are a
great many laws that don't apply to
you and me which. nevertheless, are
made necessary by the disposition OF
the other fellow
At a meeting Of the New Castle MIX
Producers Association on Saturday
one OF the speakers took exception to
"a statement attributed to DR.. Robin
to the effect that in the last five years
tho milk sent to this city had been re-
sponslble for the death OF 1900 babies
We don't know whether DR., Robin was
lquoted correctly, but we are certain tha
nobody knows or can know with an,
degree OF accuracy how many infants
have died from this cause.

further. that undoubtedly even the

points OF merit. But the dimculty was
that like the man who had some closets
in his house that didn't suit him, tore
down the house in order TO get rid OF
the objectionable closets, he should
have given his attention TO repairs and

II Is true that MT Bryan favored
putting an end to the rebate nuisance.
but he wanted to go further and have
the government take over. all the rail-

wisdom enough to select the thing that

has held his present ideas or the re-

took them bodily from Mr.. Bryan's ad-

breadth. when he accepts frankly the
