MORE THAN LIKELY.-John Ken
drick Bangs was discussing in a New
York club a case of plagiarism, says
the New York Tribune.
THE man admitted that plagiarism
was suspected of them," said Mr.
Bangs smiling. He almost admitted ii
was proved. He reminded me of a
Yonkers boy used to know.
This boy said to his chum one morn
ing:
~ hid under the parlor sofa last
night to hear what young Softleigh
would say to my sister,
well, what did he say?' the other
boy asked.
He only talked religion and poll
tics and he kicked me about thirty
times on the head
He knew you were there, l guess,
said the second boy.
I'm afraid he suspected it,
STUNG ALI. ARoUND.-A barrister
named Bushe was trying case in
Limerick before Chief Baron OGrady.
Just before the close OF the lawyers
speech an ass began to bray loudly
outside the courtroom, the window of
which opened on a pasture.
Wait a moment" said the chief
baron. "One at a time, Mr.. Bushe. II
you please"
The barrister presently had good
chance to retort. When O'Grady was
charging the jury the ass began to
bray, this time at a greater distance
from the courtroom window.
Il beg your Lordship's pardon
said Barrister Bushe, may l ask you
to repeat your last words? There was
such an echo about here that did not
quite catch that sentence.

HIS wELL-EARNED VACATION ENDED.

IT HE President and his family returned yester-
4 day to Washington after a three months
soourn at the Roosevelt homestead at Oyster
Bay. After the very trying time the President
had during the last session of Congress, through
which by his patience, perseverance and tact was
put the rate meat inspection, food inspection,
consular reform and other important bills, to say
nothing OF the Philippine and other matters of an
exacting character with which he has had to deal
during the last year, he was much in need of a
vacation.
Ne is a wonderfully strong and vigorous
man, physically as well as mentally, and we doubt
if anywhere we have another man who could have
given so much Of himself with such splendid re-
suits to his country. His vacation has not been
one Of complete rest, for he has had to deal and
contend with many serious problems during the
summer, the Cuban difficulty coming as the wind
up. Yet, with that adaptability to his surround.
ings and the way he has Of getting the most and
best out of everything, which is one of his char
acteristics, he has greatly refreshed himself and
returns to Washington in excellent condition
Those who have seen and been near him rejoice
that they see in him the same powerful energy,
unfaltering courage, vigorous mind and rugged
health that have been such potent factors in his
remarkable career from the ranch to the White
House
On his honeward journey the President was
greeted at different stations in the cities with
marks of real affection on the part Of the people.
He has not lost an iota OF his popularity, but is
to-day stronger with and more beloved by the
people than ever

CORPORATIONS IN COLORADO.

ID HILIP B. STEWART, one Of President
4 Roosevelts close friends, has declined to
run as candidate for the Republican nomination
for Governor Of Colorado. He does not wish TO
appear on a ticket with machine made" candi-
date for Judge. The Judge is said to be the tool
of the public service corporations. These public
service corporations take large hand in Col
orado politics just as they do in Delaware.
In Denver, the capital of the State, the cor
porations usually act with the Democratic party
while in the State at large they are with the Re
publcans. In this they differ from the public
service corporations in Delaware. I'm our own
State the corporations try to boss both parties
in sort OF "heads / win and tails you lose"
scheme. This year they are making a special eff
fort to control the Delaware Legislature and are
fixing their candidates in all parts of the State
AS a result OF the activity in Colorado of the
public service corporations the politics Of the
Centennial State have become lnavish and cor
rupt. 1t is because of this condition of affairs
that the Presidents friend, Stewart, declines to
become candidate 1t seems to us that it is just
such conditions that should bring out good men
to take the cause of the people and to fight the
tyranny of corporate rule. If men cannot be
found even to raise the flag OF opposition, the
public service corporations will have their own
way and we shall be subjects Of them just as the
serfs were OF the old feudal barons
One of the peculiar things about the Colorado
situation is that the votog Of women does no.
appear to have cleared the situation or elevated
the tone Of politics there.

HEALTH BOARD AND
COURT MAY CLASH

Members Of the Board Of eHalth are
very much chagrined regarding the
action OF City Judge Cochran in dis
posing Of a certain case brought before
him by that body.
The case was that OF Patrick Long.
whose properties at Nos and Z South
Broome street. were declared nui-
sances. He was given the customary
notices by the board 10 abate these
ndisances. and having refused. was ar
rested. When brought before Judge
Cochran that official gave the man
ninety days in which to connect his
properties with the sewer
Members OF the health department
think the judge made a mistake. They
think II one property holder has ninety
days 20 abate a nuisance. all others
should have the same length Of time.
Heretofore the board has been giving
property holders ten days as the limit
in which TO abate nuisances. During
the ninety days a nuisances might be-
come so.aggrnvated as to start an cpl
demic of che worst kind.
Furthermore they not think the city
Judge has any authority to say what
are and what are not nuisances.
Neither has he the authority to say in
what time nuisances are TO be abated.
That work is within the province Of
the health department OF the city and
the decision Of the city judge is usurp-
ing the authority Of another depart
ment over which he has no authority
whatever.
The decision completely upsets all
the work OF the board and Will. II Is

Want Better Service.
G. A. p

When are our business men going to
get together to ask FOR better service
from the Pennsylvania Railroad?
Smyrna is one of the most important
towns IN the State and it would seem
that a little effort might be made
toward getting a better and more up
to-date railroad station and have the
Smyrna branch TO meet all trains
Sunday included. The Sunday traffic
has grown very largely since the sun
day train service was inaugurated and
patrons Of the road going from and
coming to Smyrna are obliged TO hire
hack TO transfer them to and from
Clayton. This is expensive and a
great inconvenience and N our citizens
would get together and lay the matter
squarely before the Pennsylvania Rail-
road authorities there is every reason
to believe that the request viii receive
serious consideration. The Smyrna
branch train which takes passengers
TO meet the lis train north from Clay
ton should by all means make a trip
hack to Smyrna to bring passengers
coming north. Business men who like
TO go to Dover would appreciate this
service and 1t would help the railroad.
There is no reason why Smyrna with
its 5000 inhabitants. active manufact-
uring Industries, business enterprises.
and natural advantages should have
every railroad accommodation that Is
accorded other towns Of the Peninsula
and the people of Smyrna should rise
up and demand their rights.-Smyrna

Fire Drills in Schools.

Editor The Evening Journal.
There is one subject in connection
with the public schools Of this city
that should be given the closest pos
sihle attention. I refer to fire drills
In the schools one Of the greatest
dangers that confront the public school
children IS that of fire. This danger
Is greater in those buildings which are
not fireproof, and this, unfortunately
Is the condition of the greater part Of
the schools, particularly the older ones
With a proper fire drill the children
are practically safe for when we'll
drilled a school can be empted in a
few minutes. ] would suggest that
the chief Of the Fire Department make
IL a part Of his duty to see that the
classes in an Of the schools are prop
erly drilled, and that the supermtend-
ont OF public instruction issue orders
TO all of the teachers to see that this
important matter be given proper at
tention.

1t would be well for the police Of
this city to follow the examples Of the
authorities OF Richmond. Va, by start
Ing a crusade against allowing minors
in poolrooms and bowling alleys. Just
at present there are many youths who
frequent such places where they are
not contented with merely playing the
game for sport, but participate I'm them
as games of chance. Before starting a
game they will bet each other prob
ably q quarter or a dollar on their in
dividual ability as players. with the re-
suit that the loss Of one game means
the loss Of anywhere from a half doll
lar or more. Should one player be so
unlucky as to lose 10 such games It
can be seen how expensive the sport
Is TO them. Most Of these young men
too, receive small weekly stipends and
they cannot well afford such losses
without making no for them by some
methods, many OF which are question
able. AS has been pointed out by the
Richmond authorities. the young men,
In order to keep up their sporting in
clinatlons, frequently resort 10 petty
thefts such as taking "nippings" from
employers, etc.

1t is significant that the two county assessors,
one Democratic and one Republican, who assess
ed the Pennsylvania railroad property in man
ner that was not pleasing to the company were
defeated for denomination for their offices. 1t
may be that the Pennsylvania Company took no
hand in the defeat of these men or their turning
down at the polls may have had nothing to do
with their assessment OF the railroad properties
But it is a little strange that the people nominate
a man for county assessor who is an employe o.
the railroad company. The company evidently
proposes to assess its own property.

neither shall it do So
There are operating in this city many public
service corporations that use our streets with
monopostic privileges. They are either earning
large dividends or they will earn them in the
future They enjoy rich franchises. Our only
contention is that these corporations should be
placed on the same level with the owners Of other
property That is, indeed, modest position.
These corporations should be compelled to fur
nish good and efficient service such as the city
is entitled to, and they should contribute in taxa
ton according to the privileges they enjoy That
