VIII be the corporations to name the Speaker of
the.Ilouse and the clerk of the Senate. That be-
ing done, it means that the corporations will be
able TO make up the important legislative com
mttccs and also TO keep close tabs on the bills
introduced in the Legislature.
If the Republican leaders permit this Lcgisla-
ture 70 be ruled and run by the corporations, their
leadership will be in great jeopardy, for. the rea-
son that the people of Delaware as well as else
where, are breaking away from corporation con-
troll and either the party or individual that yields
subsequently to corporate interests simply chal-
enges the wrath Of the Npeople The leaders
should bear in mind that it was not the corpora
tons but the people that elected the Legislature,
and they expect to be dealt with fairly and con-
sideratcly by those entrusted with power
For the Republican party OF this State to sur
render the Legislature to corporate interests
would be TO array itself as hostile to the spirit
and policies Of the national administration.
grave duty copfronts those WING arc known
to have influence with the majority members
They cannot dodge their responsibilities deceive
the people 1t must be borne in mind that 81
votes the other way at the last election would
have given the Democrats the control Of the pres
ent Legislature. For this reason the party can
not afford to take any chances in the Legislature
in dealing with those measures in which the pco-
pie and the corporations may have conflicting
interests. For tns Legislature to be known as
corporation body forebodes defeat Of the Repub-
lican party at the next general election.

PAID TRIBUTES
TO TWO OFFICIALS
Retiring Members of Kent
County Levy Court CON-
pIimented
SPECIAL to The Evening Journll.

DOVER, Dec. 2S.-Glowing tributes
were paid TO two retiring officials in
the Levy Court chamber at a special
meeting as the shades of evening fell.
About twenty prominent State and
county omcials assembled TO bid fare
we'll to Commissioner Edward C.
Knots, who goes from the Levy Court
TO the Legislature, and TO Clerk of the
Peace James V. McCommons. who will
retire TO private life.
Colonel Theodore Townsend, of Mil
ford, who was here attending a meet
ing Of the State Board Of Education,
was summoned to deliver the address
of the occasion and extended the
thanks OF the people Of Deiaware's
central county to the two retiring Of
hcials for their able and painstal1ing
administration.
In the course of his remarks, Colonel
Townsend declared that their iucum-
bency Vas only another illustration
that it paid a man who undertook any
public service to formulate his own
plans and carry them out in a fearless
and conscientious manner. In his
home town of Milford, now one OF the
States leading business centres, a
few strong, public-spirited men had
been engaged for twenty years in a
fight for better things and had gone
about taking the maledictions and
abuse Of the townspeople who were
impugnipg their motives and were
morally certain that there was graft
and wastefulness without end ahead.
AS a result, however Milford to-day
has outgrown her mudholes and coal
oil lamps. She has a sewer system
equal to any in the country Her
paved streets, even. her macadam pave
'ments, arc superior to any in the
country, oven in Wilmington where
there has been a systematic expendi-
.ture for street and sewer improvements
for years. A satisfactory electric
system, a complete and ample water
system, and a business showing sec
ond to none are all now enjoyed by
the very citizens who wanted the coal
oil lamps to remain 1t takes pluck
and courage for an honest man to hold
office, but in the end his service has its
own reward.

HIeHER WAGES EvERYwHERE
BUT HERE.

MUCH is being printed and said about
Il the increase OF wages throughout the
country and statistics show that many millions
OF dollars have been paid TO the workingmcu this
year bv reason OF such increase. Gratifying as
that is. 1t is nevertheless very disappointing that
Wilmington is SO far behind other manufactur-
ing cities in that comparatively few industrial
establishments have granted any increase to their
employees 1t is fact however, that the few
increases that have been made, have been in most
cases BY those manufacturers who can least at
ford it. while those who have prohted the most
by the rise in prices OF manufactured products
keep their employees down to the old scale of sew
cral years ago. These are indeed heydays for the
greedy manufacturers, for by lying and deceiving
their worllingmen and keeping down their wages,
the high prices they get for their products en-
able them to pile up their profits 70 enormous
proportions.
AS we have pointed out time and again, the
vorkngmcn who are at the greatest disadvan-
tage in times like the present arc those who arc
unorganizcd Individually, they arc helpless, and
any request or demand they make Of the en-
ploycrs is not only ineffective, but is certain 70
lead to an carly dismissal The employer will
not, If he knows it, keep on his pay roll any la
borer or mechanic who knows enough 70 know
that nc is not getting proper compensation Tor
his work. and who is likely to disseminate such
ideas among his fellow workmen We would
like to sec every branch OF work in this city
thoroughly organized and the organization in
tclligently and honestly directed TO the extent
that there might be thorough cooperation be
tween the employer and employe. They both
have rights that should be respected, and when
they arc not they should in some way be en-
forced There arc thousands of workinemcn in
this city who are to-day not receiving fair COM
pcnsation for the work they are doing in proper
lion TO the value produced by their labor, and
II is TO bring about an equalization OF the earn
ing capacity OF capital and labor that we SO
strongly favor the organization Of workingmen
We do not favor the cmploye making an unjust
and unfair demand OF the employer, and we
wish that every employer would so treat his
cinplovc that never would demand be nccos-
sary to secure his rights and that which justly
belongs to him But We have already learned
that the distribution of wealth is not likely TO be
done voluntarily by those into whose hands it
first falls In many cases it is found neccs-
sary 10 invoke the strong arm OF the law to ef-
fectuatc it. and as VIC have not yet reached
that point in our civic development where wages
can be adjusted or regulated by law, those who
arc dependent upon their earning capacity can
protect themselves only by banding together, and
If they fail TO do that they will be at the mercy
of the unscrupuous and greedy employer

FOR THE PEOPLE OR coRPoRATIoNs9

nj UGH speculation is being INDUCED in on
A the organization Of the Legislature
which will take place at Dover next Tuesday.
The Republicans having large majority in both
branches, the officers OF the two Houses will Of
course, be Republican. Another somewhat novel
condition is that The usually strong alignment OF
the Republican factions will not be in evidence,
and there WILL therefore, be no division OF the OF
fees along factional lines. The main contention
so FAR as the leading Offices so the two speaker
ships and the two clerkships, will be by the cor
porations and their agents, their purpose being
to place in those positions the men OF their
choice and upon whom they can rely TO trip the
people in the interests OF the corporations when
ever occasion requires. The Pennsylvania rail-
road ard the public service corporations have
picked their man from this county for Speaker OF
the Senate. and the Gas Company is on hand with
candidate Tor clerk OF Tic House Equally alert

that the members of the fair sex are
working hard for their rights in Den
mark, while ia Sweden. Norway and

men have all franchise tights, except
ing for members Of Parliament. In
Denmark the women suffvagists IRE
/ strongly banded together and their
progress SO far has been exceedingly
encouraging. kThey have sucfeeded
so far as to have a bill pass both
branches Of PARLIAMENT giving them
the right to vote, but the King has re-
fused to affix his signature to the
document owing TO some reason or
