To-MoRRows CONVENTION.

THE most important Republican State Con-
q venticn in this State for many years IS the
one to be held at Dover tomorrow. 1t is the
outgrowth OF the desire Of all Republicans to
cease factional fighting and to have one strong
soldhed party organization. Several times
since the party was rent in twain ten years ago
efforts have been made to heal the breach and get
the party together, but always without success.
To-morrow's harmony convention is the result
of hard work, patient effort and personal sacri-
fee 1t was by no means an easy undertaking,
and those who have brought it about deserve
great credit. 1t was the logical sequence Of the
election of senator which was the wedge that
split the factiona log
1t is to be hoped that the purpose OF the con-
vention will not be forgotten Harmony should
and must reign supreme. There should be
prompt suppression Of any attempt to stir up
dscord or Of any individual who endeavors to
make his interests or his hatreds OF more impor-
tance than the welfare and success Of the party.
The friends of T. c. DUPONT will be in control Of
the convention, and it is up to them to sec that
its purpose is fully carried out, for upon that
depends the success OF the party this year.

THE NEW IDEA WELL ExPoUNDED.

A OVOCArES of the Initiative and Reteren-
IA dunn, as applied to governmental affairs,
heard one Of the cearest expositons OF the
proposition yet given in this city at the open-air
meeting in Kirl<wood Park yesterday afternoon
The speaker, c. F. Nesbt, Of Washington, D.
c., in a clear dispassonate and common-sense
manner, placed before his Labor Day audience
the proposition of the initiative and referendum
Ia proposition which is finding many advocates
in the ranks Of all the great political parties.
The principle Of this theory is that those elect
ed to office should be at all times subservient to
the will Of their constituents by law passed by
the legislatures of the various States which pro-
vides that no law shall become effective, either
national, state. or communal until the qualified
voters shall have the opportunity to express their
wish upon the legislation, should they so desire.
When FIVE per cent. of the voters so express
this desire through designated channels vote
must be taken and the law is confirmed or re-
jectcd as the people decide.
1t is contended for this plan that where it has
been adopted it has been feasible, practical and
satisfactory to degree 1t also is claimed that
by it the political boss is shorn OF his power and
made the servant of the people, not the dictator
Of men aud legislation.
Any plan by which this is made possible is a
step IN advance in the system Of popular govern
ment and safe balance wheel against the dan
gers Of increasing Capitalization of governmental
powers in the hands Of the wealthy and unscru-
pulous

ITS HOLDINGS

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has disposed OF one-half of its share
holdings in the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Norfolk and Western R1ii-
roads. An announcement TO this e.
feet was made Officially last ngat.
The stocks, approximating SSS.00o
shares with a par value OF SOS, 100000.
were sold to kuhn, Loeb & Co.. Of New
York.
BY the move the Pennsylvania

but not until the management is as
sure1 that its own traffic interests viii
remain unharmed by the giving Of re-
bates or any other preferences to ship
pers.
The action of the railroad company
in disposing of so much of It's securi-
ties is considered a victory for the
untiring efforts Of William A. Glas-
gov, Jr.. who as special counsel for
the Interstate Commerce Commission
showed that the Pennsylvania Rail-
road management controlled the tide
water coal situation with an iron
hand. 1t is also considered victory
for the new railroad rate bill. which
went into effect on August 2S last, and
which is expected in turn TO protect
the Pennsylvania road from its former
traffic enemies.

LITTLE MEN MAKE BIG FIGHT.

THE much-heralded contest between Joe
A Cans and Battling Nelson is over and now
the country can turn its attention to the politi-
cal battles that are to be waged during the next
sixty days. 1t is indeed wonderful the interest
these hstc encounters arouse. There is a strain
in most Americans that admires physical
strength and fstic skill. Brutal they may be,
yet they prove the value OF care and treatment of
the mind and body, what can be done by train
ing and how much human being can endure in
hand-to-hand struggle. That two little men
could fight forty-two savage rounds, lasting
nearly three hours, is almost incredible
That there was great interest in the contest in
this city could not be doubted by anyone who
saw the thousands gathered in front of THE
. JOURNAL last evening, and who stood for three
hours waiting the news from the ringsde. The
crowd remained until the last round was fought
and the decision announced, and then as they
departed the alert newsboys were hot on their
heels with the extra edition Of THE JOURNAL.
of which several thousand were sold The lit
tie fellows worked hard to make the fight at their
end, and we were doing our part at this end to
give the people the news Of what is admitted to
be one of the greatest prize-ring battles on
record.

A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.

A N INSPIRING object lesson in the power
1 a and might of the United States Navy was
that of the magnificent pageant reviewed by the
President of the United States in the waters off
Oyster Bay yesterday
1t was a magnificent marine picture that gath
ering Of the greatest fleet of warshps, flying the
Stars and Stripes ever assembled here or any
where else, and it is little wonder that il brought
a thrill of patriotism to the thousands who saw
it.
1t is devoutly to be wished that every Ameri-
can could see this feet of enormous battleships
swift cruisers, wasplike torpedo boats, monitors
and fighting craft as they ride majestically in
their hour of proud display-these huge engines
expressive of the invincible but repressed fight
ing power of this glorious country of ours.
Our navy is the pride OF the American people
We glory in her achievements and view with
enthusiasm the gathering Of her fleets. No other
object lesson Of the majesty Of the power and
might Of the Republic can compare with sight
OF the splendid naval pageant off Oyster Bay.

new UNION
ENGINE TESTED
Test Was Witnessed By Sew
eral thousand Spec
tatOrS

TWO thousand people saw the test of
the new Metropolitan engine of the
Union Fire Company, at Sixteenth and
Walnut streets, yesterday afternoon.
The date Of the test was published
last week and in consequence there
were many rhremen and others there
TO see what the steamer was capable
of accomplishing In the way OF throw
ing a stream of water
The engine was in charge Of Engi-
neer Kolbecker, who is employed by
the makers of the machine. His as
sstant was John Kyle, a member of
the Union Fire Company. The engine
lifted the water from the race at the
water works and forced one stream
two. three and four, and during the
entire time Of the test the engine
worked smoothly.
The Wind lnterfered
owing to the high wind, which was
blowing at the time, a suitable test
could not be made as to the height OF
the stream the steamer is capable OF
throwing. one : cam, however, fed
by four lines of nose was sent far
above the pumping station chimney.
Next an effort was made TO throw
two streams over the same chimney,
and had II not been for the high wind
these streams would have gone over
the stack.
Another test may be made In the
near future when the weather condi-
tions arc more favorable. That the
steamer is an excellent machine is
the general opinion of all the older
members of the Fire Department.

HEBREW new YEAR
ON SEPTEMBER 10

The Hebrew new year, $751; will begin
at sundown September 10 and conclude
at sunset the following evening. There
will be services in the synagogues and
temples on the eve and morning Of New
Year Day.
The important part of the new-year
services is the blowing of the shofar or
ram's horn In some Of the reformed con-
gregations a cornet Is sounded instead
of the conventional rams horn. The
shofar in the temple was generally asso-
ciated with the trumpet, and both in-
struments were used together en- various
occasions on New Years Day the prin-
cipal ceremony was conducted with tie
shofar, which instrument was placed in
the center with a trumpet on either side
II was the horn Of a wild goat, and
straight in shape, being ornamented with
gold at the mouthpiece.
AS an omen of good luck for the new
year. one Jewish authority said one
should eat pumpkins, lceks bects ami
dates on that occasion. because they al
grow quickly, and because It is declar, d
their names in Arabic mean plentiful.
or forgiveness" The prevailing custom
was to partake Of some specially palat-
able meal on New Years Eve. In mod
ern times the table IS filed with grapes,
other fruits and honey.
After the beaedietlon Of "Ha-Mozoh'
the bread is dipped in honey, when
the following benedlciion is pronounced:
May it please the Lord our Gcd and C d
Of our father TO renew fer us a good
and sweet year"
In marked contrast to the rejoicins on
New Years nay is the sclemnity OF Yon
Kippur, or the Day Of Atonement wh ca
occurs 10 days after New Year. on the
Day Of Atcnement the Jews repair 20 tho
synagogues, where the time is passed IN
continuous services and IN the repentins
of past sins. on Yom Kippur the Jews
neither eat nor drink during the Who'll,
time of the observance Of Tic solemn oc-
casion.

EXCELLENT TELEcRApH1c SERVICE.

A S AN example Of the excellent telegraph
1 n service furnished by the Publishers Press
we would cite the report of the Gans-Nelson
fight A direct wire was run from the ringsde
at Goldfreld, Nevada, direct to THE EVENING
JOURNAL office, and we had full report of
each Of the forty-two rounds within six min
utes after each round ended. The fight lasted
nearly three hours, and within twenty-five min
utes after it ended the extra EVENING JOUR
NAL, containing full report was on the street.
Considering the fact that Goldheld is nearly
three thousand miles from Wilmington, the un-
broken report with its excellence and swiftness,
makes the service simply perfect. 1t was prac-
tcally repetition of the San Francisco disaster.
whereby the Publishers Press enabled our read
ers to get the first and complete news nearly
an hour before it was furnished by our competi-
tor through its Associated Press dispatches.
The Publishers Press is maintaining very
agh-grade service, and not only newspapers, but
The public, cannot fail TO appreciate it and accord
great prsise to the management.

Editor The Evening Journal
l wish to call your attention to the
way In which the West Chester, Ken
nett and Wilmington Electric Railway
Company is doing business. We left
kennett Square about 1920 p. M. Fri
day, and had gone probably five miles
below Kennett, where we were side
tracked TO wait for a ear coming from
Wilmington. and here we stayed for
about one hour. When the car did arr
rive the crew did not seem to realize
that they should make up for lost
time, but instead engaged in a social
chat with the arriving crew from Will
mington, and finally proceeded. When
the side-track nearest Brandywine
Springs was reached we were met by
two cars, coming from Wilmington,
and had TO be side-tracked once more
TO let them by. They were what they
term a double-header, which, accord
ing to the conductor on our car, was
against the rules. We then proceeded
once more and to our dismay were
stalled on grade coming up toward
Brandywine Springs. but finally with
great difficulty we reached the top Of
the grade and started again down
grade to a stopping place at Brandy
wine Springs. Then It was 1920 a. m.
We We're informed that the last car 10
Wilmington had gone What was there
