A great protest against noise is ris-
ing from all parts of the country
Seattle is working for the suppression
Of unnecessary noises. Pennsylya-
mans are trying to see how the bar
barrie clangor Of certain foundries may
be reduced. In New York City a cru
SADIE has been started against too
much whistling by the tugboats. "The
Steam Whistle as a Menace to Public
Health was the title of a recent paper
before a meeting Of associated boards
Of health. School teachers and anxious
mothers who have been working ON
these lines for years will be glad to
know that in wider spheres the public
is coming to recognize how essential
TO calm nerves is reasonable quiet.

There was time when the exhort-
ers of the higher life used to rely on
the college man to degenerate society.
That was before James II. Hyde, Sen
ator Penrose and Robert II. McCurdy
were graduated from Harvard or
Chauncey VI. Depew was made doc
tor Of laws by Yale or the fact was
generally known that Thomas Collier
Plat had studied at Yale, Benjamin
B. Odell, Jr., at Columbia and Senator
Burton of Kansas at De Paw Univer-
sity. In recent years there has been
some slight loss Of confidence in the
college man as means of regenera-
ton. Let US trust that the college
woman will not be dismayed by the
responsibilities that the friends OF
man are heaping upon her.

vania But there is no evidence thai there Isl
any menace in socialism The reverse is true un-
less we consider Socialism as any change which
opposes domination by trusts or ooung nsur-
ance companies. When we have menace of
Socialism, if it ever comes, we will know about il.
The largest parliamentary party in G1fmanyis
the Socialist They poll about five million votes
there, and yet in that country they are far from
control, and it is still prison ofense TO speak
i'll Of the Kaiser. Socialism has never made much
headway among Engsh-spealing peoples.
There is a vast difference between so-called
radicasm and Socialism. We may be approach
ing radicalism which is often a good thing, but
we are not near Socialism. The exploitation by
trusts and the freakish conduct of great captains
of industry may bring the country to the brink of
radicalism, but no one now living need fear So
cialism- Our people have not yet reached the
Glass conscious stage. Socialists have no lead
ers such as they possess in the old countries. Re
forms that have long been advocated by the most
orthodox economists, who are in their nature con-
servatives. are proclaimed as Socialism and radi-
calism by many in the hope Of soaring the people.
Income taxes, limitation of fortunes and better
distribution OF wealth are not very radical when
considered in their proper light.

THEY DESERVE BETTER PAY.

GCHOOL teachers Of the city will make de-
- termined effort to have their salaries in
creased. We hope they will succeed and that
the Legislature will provide a means of securing
more money with which to pay the advance re-
quested by the teachers The latter receive small
pay indeed for their labors but in this respect
they suffer as do others of the unorganized labor
class Advances in wages or salaries are usually
secured because of organization of the employees
into unions Seldom is it that wages of that class
OF employees who have not unions 70 back them
have been advanced, unless there is an absolute
shortage of competent help
There would be no trouble in securing an in
crease for the teachers if our taxation system
were operated on an equitable basis. If the as
sessments were properly made, and If the public
service corporations were compelled to pay in
accordance with the privileges they enjoy, the
city would not need for money. The more pros
porous the corporations become, the less willing
they appear to be to pay their just share of the
burdens of taxation. We hope the teachers will
continue their agitation, and no doubt something
will be done for their reliei.

FRANKNEsS OF MIR. JACKSON.

ONGRESSMAN-ELECT WILLIAM II.
~ JACKSON, OF Salisbury, Md, frankly adj
mits in an interview that he purchased his cleo
ton as representative from the Eastern Shore OF
MARYLAND AR. Jackson SAYS that II IS useless to
pretend that elections can be carried in the East
ern Shore without the employment OF money.
Mr. Jackson declares that he did not start the
precedent of using money. Years ago he says
the Democrats bought votes and this spoiled the
voters. Mr.. Jackson Judging from his statement
does not propose TO halt the purchase OF votes.
There is one point however, on which Mr. Jack
son is emphatic "No whiskey was given any
man TO cast his ballot for me with my knowledge
or consehui lr IS.tH M
The Democrats, Mr.. Jackson was informed,
used whiskey. Ii was therefore according to the
successful candidate a battle Of dollars against
whiskey. and the green and yellow backs knock
ed out the forces of General Booze, and the old
general was defeated Mr. Jackson, however, IS,
Judging from experiences in Delaware, of III
his views If he had not used money he would
have won lust the same For a long time the
Democrats OF this State abored under the delu-
sion that If money were not used Delaware would
tumble from the Republican column. But, alas,
such calculations went far astray. The state re-
mains in the Republican ranks, where II properly
belongs The Eastern Shore should wake up ana
follow the example of Delaware.
Judging from the election and his remarks,
Mr. Jackson enjoyed his triumph and he must
have been quite "spender.
Mr.. Jackson was more fortunate than some
other noted political spenders. The Marylander
got what he wanted. Then again there IS danger
of ones monetary supply running short, in which
event a man may not get what he is after But
there is one thing on which Mr.. Jackson can con-
gra' late himself He will probably enjoy his
scar in Congress unmcN sted. In this he will be
more fortunate than was the Emperor Decius, OF
Rome The latter bought his election as emperor
and in few months the blackguard and dreadful
soldiers who sold it to him, chopped off his head

5srUPID IS THIS COUNT.

THE troubles Of Count Boni of France are
a dreadfully distressing, surely SO to the
Count himself, and they must be to his wife, who
was part inheritor OF the millions left by Jay
Could who wrenched them from the people by
sinister methods OF industrial piracy. The incl
dents of the unhappy life Of the couple are just as
public as though the pair were not of the de-
throned aristocracy, but merely vulgar Pittsburg
M;llionaircs who had gathered in their shcckes
ill a few brief years.
The Count appears TO have been great
spcnder. and he is hailed a hero by the Boule-
wards of Paris The Boulevards love a cheerful
spcndcr and so do he politicians but, alas, when
the cash is gone the hero vanshes. Even the
creditors of the Count (and the Count owes four
millions or so) declare he is the greatest distrib-
utor of coin since the days of the prohigate Louis
Of France.
Hundreds OF thousands disappeared as bau-
bles The Count ran in debt a trust would run
to seize an extra cent of profit.
The Count is a member of the Chamber OF Dep
uties OF Paris. He was elected once and the
Chamber put him ont because he was too great
a spender in politics and was seeking to "Ameri-
canize" the French elections But the Count
came back smiling with a majority. The spender
was '.all to the good" Boni never did anything
notable as a member of the Chamber, but we
have no doubt that a man of his capacity is, or
thinks he is engaged in the distribution OF wealth
and probably he believes he will solve that tor
menting problem lie is doing his share in a
practical way that is certain.
Ii appears that his wife became weary of the
Counts conduct. He rather overstepped the
mark. 1t looks as if he had killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs. The Count is stupid.

ponIt Rurn the Leaves.

Editor The Evening Journal.
While walking through the park the
other day / noticed immense piles OF
leaves being raked together and burned.
After these fires are built. immense
clouds Of smoke rise and for several
days afterward an ill-smelling odor per
meates the entire park. The leaves
that fall from the big oak trees should
not be burned, as they can be Of great
use to persons having horses and other
live stock. A teamster informed me
that he would be glad 70 get the leaves
as they make excellent bedding for
horses and cattle. There are many tons
Of leaves ralxed from beneath the oak
trees. and for many years they have
been burned. I would suggest to the
Park Commission that they give the
leaves to anyone who wants them.
There are many men. especially gro
cerymen, who would be glad to get the
leaves for their stables. In each park
a bin should be erected whore the
leaves should be placed until distribu-
ted. ! am quite sure that the house,
keepers in the neghborhood Of the
parks would be pleased il the leayes
were disposed Of In a different manner
than the one now employed.

HIDING SMALL
SALARY LIST
Teachers Of Public Schools
Here Receive Less Pay Than
in Any Other City
WILL APPEAL TO ASSEMBLY,

The action OF the Board Of Education
at its regular meeting on Monday
night in deciding to omit the salary
list IN the publication of. the teachers
manual. was taken with no other mo-
tive than to hide from the outside world
the low salaries received by public
school teachers in Wilmington. There
is probably no city in the country that
pays its teachers as small compensa-
tion as here. despite the fact that this
city compares favorably with any mum
icipailty Of similar size with regard 10
enlishtened and up-to-date instructors.
President shortlidee's Remarks.
When President shortlidge of the
Board Of Education made the remark
that 1t might make the people wake up
to the existing conditions. by publish
ing the list or salaries paid teachers, he
struck the right cord but yet little good
could be accomplished by so doing.
Teachers who are entitled to much
more pay than they receive would have
their ability advertised in other cities,
BY their Salaries, and consequently
NAA'e NVNHA HN HNHAN dll AilJAHAtN1s
Dissatisfied with the money they now
get. the teachers, are hopeful that the
next Legislature win come to the ala
Of the Board Of Education. and increase
lis appropriation. All the members Of
the board are in favor OF the move
ment and will do everything in their
power to get a bill passed that win
insure an increase in the salaries Of
the teachers. The latter themselves can
help BY getting their friends interested
and IL necessary a delegation might be
sent to Dover, to further the move
ment.
An adjustment Of salaries is absolute
" needed and this cannot be done until
a special appropriation is granted, so
everybody interested in the advance
ment OF education should interest
themselves to bring about more favor
able conditions.

PLEDGE LOYALTY TO HIM.

THE Democratic candidates the State
\ ticket in New York who believe they have
been elected, gave a dinner to Mr.. Hearst the
other night and hailed him as thir leader They
declared they would stand by the radical plat
form upon which they were elected and on which
Hearst himself was defeated There has been
much comment that il any other Democrat had
been nominated in New York excepting Hearst
he would have been elected governor 1t is true
that thousands of Democrats cut Hearst ana
caused his defeat but il must be remembered that
Hearst in his campaign won over thousands of
Republicans and these voted the whole Hearst
ticket from top TO bottom, No other candidate
could have gotten these independents and Re
publicans, and while Hearst himself was defeated
his campaign carried the remainder of the ticket
through.
