Tomorrow meeting Of citizens WHO

who have aliested The sincerity OF their
sentiment. by publicly signing the SUSSEX

Dee held nj the Hotel Richardson, in Dover
for the purpose of determining what kind
Of au organization they shall form for the
purpose Of making tho proposed anti
bribery campaign effective.
In all, 1876 citizons have signed these
anti-bribery pledges How many of
them will attend the Dover meeting
tomorrow, is problematical. Should all
Of them attend, il would be a most re-
marksble manifestation Of earnestnoss
and sincerity Of purpose. For more than
half Of the number to attend would be a
manifestation before which those who
in the past have bought votes in Della
ware with the most reckless disregard of
consequences would cover in dread
But even small attendance would not
necessarily be discouraeing, As a rule,
ia organizations Of this character, the
9ctual work is done by q very small minor
ity Of those engaged in the movement.
Nor is a large participation in this part
of the work necessary. The effective
work falls upon the officers and the ex-
ecutiye committee, and the moral and
financial assistance and cooperation Of
the Others are all that is necessary on
their part. So, II the Dover meeting is
attended by a sufficient number Of the
pledge signer TO insure an organization,
one that may put itself in touch with all
the members az will. and secure their
cooperation and incite their financial
contributions, the object Of the move
ment will be accomplished. Ten good
men may do this much, as effectively as
the entire body Of the sieners.
But no doubt there will be more than
ten of the signers at the Dover meeting
tomorrow. And the more, the better,
For while general attendance might not
result in any better organization than a
small attendance, il would have a mightier
moral effect Every signer. therefore,
who can possibly do NO, should attend the
Dover meeting.

WILMINGTON ARTISTS IN
THE MARoH MAGAZINES.

The most important illustrations in this
month issues OF leading periodicals have
been done by the coterie of artists attached
to the school Of illustration maintained
here by Howard Pyle.
Wyeth is represented sufficiently this
month TO assure his popularity and war
rant the establishment of a reputation,
bad that not been achieved some time ago.
He paints very directly; his composition
is original in conception and spirited.
He promises TO be much broader in his
work than Remington; more artistic. Tho
strength and saneness Of his work and its
distinctive western atmosphere have
created a demand for his pictures and
stories. His literary style is as natural
and full of strength and freedom as is
his art, but is much overtopped by it,
Wyeth 3 DAY With the Round Up" in

Tribute to Trusts.

The objection to the Philippines Tariff
BILL which has been kicked to death in
committee of the United States Senate.
by senatorial friends OF the Trusts, under
the pretoxt Of getting even with President
Roosevelt for his arbitrary interference
in behalf OF the Railroad Rates bill, is
merely one way of compelling the people
Of this country to pay tribute TO two OPP
prossive Trusts.
The Philippines Tariff bill aims to make
material reductions in two products OF
those islands-sugar and tobacco But,
in doing this, it is aiming at the interests
Of two great Trusts in this conuty-tho
Sngar Trust and the Tobacco Trust. The
Sugar Trust controls the sugar business Of
the United States and arbitrarily fixes
prices, being enabled TO protect itself
from foreign competition by tho tariff
taxes on foreign sugar. The same con-
dition prevails in respect Of tobacco, the
tariff tax being imposed in the manner
which confers the greatest protection to
the Tobacco Trust.
Il is not the modioum Of competition
that would be encouraged by the slight
concessions proposed in the Philippines
Tariff bill that these great Trusts object
TO. IL is the principle Of the thing,
They resist the slightest interference with
the policy of protection through tax
alton by which they profit so largely at
the expense Of the people The Philip
pines competition Of itself would not hurt
thom; but Il might lead to further tariff
reductions, and then these Trusts would
suffer accordingly, although the consum-
ors would be benefited.
Tho question of doing justice to the
people Of tho Philippines, whom we have
forcibly taben under our control, against
their inclinations and their expressed
will, is Of far greater moment than oven
tho relief Of the people of this country
from Trust exactions. But oven this
great moral obligation is troddon under
foot by the Trust representative in the
Senate. The tariff "must not bo touched b

and the Senate echoes "Amenw

Rernr,l Tor Emnlnuna

A writer IN the Philadelphia Ledger
takes tine pc sInisiic view that in these
days all the employer cares for is 10 push
his omployc 10 the extent ol getting an
the work possible out of him, only TO cast
him adrilt when old age or sickness over
takes him, regardless Of what may be his
fate.
10 must bo admitted that there is not
the same family relation existing between
employers and employees as formerly pre-
vailed. Much Of what this writer COM
plains about is true, but it is not hard to
discover the reasons for the change.
Still, heartlessness is not the prevailing
characteristic Of employers Witness the
pension system Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and other great transportation lines.
We know Of instances in this city where
faithful employees receive regular wages
when they are i'll, the same as when they
are at work. Only recently man died
in this city who had for years been de
partment foreman in a large industrial
concern. Sickness and debility com
PEELED him to cease work several years be-
fore his death, but his wages were sent to
him regularly each week as long as he lived.
The world is not yet given over entirely
to heartless unconcern and oppression on
the part Of employers, nor will il ever be.

PoIltlesl "Reformera.. al So.

Last week a Congress of Political Re-
formers was held at the residence of j. G..
Phelps Stokes, a rich and eccentric man.
at Norton, Conn, for the purpose of con-
sidering the very imposing subject of
social, political and governmental reforms
in this country. But the gathering re-
suited in absolute failure.
The participants in this congress were
municipal ownership advocates, socialists
Of radical. and moderate degree, Single
Takers, devotees of the initiative and
referendum, and representatives Of
various other diff yourself over the fence
by your bootstraps" methods Of reform
in government.
The trouble was that the assemblage
represented many and divergent views,
and each adherent Of a particular brand
of reform insisted that it alone afforded
the desired panancea, and resolutely
refused to listen to even the suggestion Of
any other fellows.
The natural result, therefore, was a
Babel of reform, with dissension, dis
solution and nothing done And so will
IL ever be when cranbs and wild theorists

government.

RAILROADS AGREE ON
SUMMER EXCURSIONS

Chicago, Jan. 22-Transcontinent
lines have decided upon reduced rates
for many important gatherings to be
held during the coming summer. The
coast lines, however, refused to grant
equally low rates for events in the
Middle West as are granted for con-
ventions in the Far West
The conventions were placed in two
groups, those on the coast to be grant
ed a rate of $62.50 from the Middle
West, and those to be held in the Mid
die West and South to be granted a
rate of $3.50 from the coast The
only exception to this is the Grand
Army reunion, for which a rate of l
cent a mile was made, which holds
good within a radius of about $50
miles from the coast cities, where
the rate will be one fare for the round
trip.
Conventions carrying the lower
rates are: Mystic Shrine at Los An
geles, May to 10: Baptist convention,
September IL; Young Peoples Soci-
ETY. of Christian Endeavor in 1907.
