Editorial Opinion
Senator Bayley's Fall.
Wi minston, DelawaFe

New York Press.
We very much regret 10 say that the
case AGAINST Bailey OF Texas Is enc In
which the Senator has been fairly iolnd
with the goods on" The publ cation u
IL. G. Pierce's telegram by Attoines-
General Davidson with It's fatal Bailey
should quiet all Texas parties, When
taken in connection with the Senator's
admission that he borrowed moneys t4om
the standard Oil agents, does not even
give Bailey the poor excuse that he vas
doing law business for the oil monopoly
while serving the State and country as
a senator in Congress. Some OF the
memoranda is so damning in its evidence
that Bailey was the legislative agent OF
the Waters-Pierce Company that it is
not astonishing to hear from that cor
poratlon's general counsel the c.y that
the confidential correspondence was sto en-
by a trusted employe. The OIL Tru I
simply wishes to clear Itself in Ra ley s
eyes OF any suspicion Of treachery T.
him. r.t
We take our leave of Bailey OF
Texas with regret, as probably also the
State OF Texas win do in view of the
exposure. Few ADLER men have sat in the
United states Senate in the last quarter
century; his address on the rate legisla-
ton was one Of the most valuable con-
trlbutons to that subject and he was a
legislator Of skin and power. There are
worse men in the Senate than Bailey
whom we should like to see go before
he goes But go he must, now or later.
And IN the manner OF his going there is
new emphasis for the cynlc's axiom that
it is growing ever and ever more diff
cult for the lawyer in politics to tel
where h1 duty to the people comes into
conaict with his service, for fat fees, to
his private clients.

It. is encouraging to the management OF THE
EVENING JOURNAL to learn that several
thousand workingmen of this city who are friends
and subscribers Of this paper have decided 10
patronize during this buying and shopping season
only those merchants who advertise in the
EVENING JOURNAL. This is as it should be,
for THE, JOURNAL is one. paper in this city
which has proven its allegiance TO the cause of
labor, and is deeply interested in the welfare OF
workingmen We are trying to help them, and it
would be strange indeed were they not inclined
to help us in return.

More Advice to shoppers.

Editor The Evening journal,
Now that the annual Christmas
shopping rush Is about to begin per-
nit me 10 say a few words to those
who win make up the great throng Of
buyers. From now until the 25th Of
December the stores will be crowded
and their stats Of salespeople will be
taxed to their utmost to handle the
trade. For the sake OF the girls and
the delivery men. and your own sake,
do not put OF your shopping until the
last week II you DO, you win not re-
ceive the attention which could be
given you week earlier. You will
not have the quantity Of stock to select
from and YOU viii be iostled among
crowds, who have waited ike you The
street cars will be packed with people
and bundles, much to your discomfort.
When you visit a store be sure TO know
what you want. and ask for IL. The
! Fdrls behind the counters abhor a
shopper who stands and ponders over a
prospective purchase. DO not take
children with you. as they are liable
TO get lost Do not stand at a counter
after YOU have made a purchase; there
are others who are waiting 10 buy. Be
patient when visiting a store. Remem-
Dor that the life Of shopgirl is not
an easy one during the two weeks be-
fore Christmas.
Respectfully
christmastide.

GET 10 WORK ON NEW CHARTER.

IT WE are to have a new city charter the agi-
4 tation should be started for it at once even
before the Legislature meets. If there is delay
the subject will drift along during the entire ses-
sion, and nothing will be accomplished There
should be an earnest movement to prepare and
present an instrument that has chance OF sue
cess It is imperative that the representatives
from Wilmington should agree in general terms
upon such charter, The members from rural
New Castle and from the lower counties are not
at all likely to interfere with Wilmington's
wishes concerning the charter. 1t is clearly
question for the city ITSELF and the first point is
for the Wilmington men to know what they
really want. Otherwise efforts will be wasted.

The Salvation Army Dinner
Editor The Evening journal
Help the salvation Army to provide
its Christmas dinner for. the poor OF tue
cityi Standing at the various corners are
a number Of women in the uniform OF the
Salvation Army standing guard over a
box. In. one hand they keep tiny bell
jingiing. while over their head Is a large
sign asking for aid so that they may
provide dinners for the poor men and
women Of this city. Few people are not
able to lend them assistance, but many
OF them turn their heads aside when
they look In the direction OF the ringing
bell. These. people have taken upon
themselves a task TO perform, and. de-
serve as much consideration and neir
as the general public can give them.
They should not be sighted nor jeered
at. for they are doing good work in their
field. II every person that passes by the
salvation Army lad or iassie would only
donate a penny 10 the cause it would
mean great deal Of money 10 the pro-
moters of the Christmas dinner for the
poor. The more money they collect the
more appetites they will be abe 10 APP

own table Christmas day think OF the
poor Of the city who will be aided by the

A committee of teachers appeared before the
Board of Education last evening asking support
for their plan TO secure an increase in their own
salaries. AT the lowest e. Innate, to put in force
the request of the teachers tha Board OF Education
must Secure an additional $4,000 for the first
year, Where this money is to come from is the
problem that will confront the board, as the teach
ers we'll know. A just enforcement of our system
of taxation would supply the needed amount.
Should the public service corporations pay taxes
as they should do and if real estate were assessed
equitably the city would have sufficient funds to
meet the demands Of the teachers and much more
besides.

WHERE LAW is MADE PLAIN.

In general way a belief pre-,
walls in this state that debt due
brokers on deals in cotton or grain
futures or in stocks purchased on
margins cannot be collected be
cause they are gambling transac-
tons. Judge Speer delivered a
charge to a jury in Valdosta the
other day that made the law clear.
The plaintiff was cotton broke
rage firm of New York, holding a
seat in the Cotton Exchange of
that city, and the defendants were
citizens of Triton, in this state.
The amount sued fop was more
than $4,000 for services, commits
sions and money paid out.
1t seems that where there is an
understanding by both parties that
there is to be no delivery of the
thing purchased the transaction is
simple gambling, and there can be
no recovery ola debt growing out
of the transaction by either party
1t devolves on the defendant, how
ever, to show that there was such
an understanding by both parties.
If there is an understanding by
one of the parties that there is to
be delivery of the thing pur-
chased, and not by the other, the
transaction is taken out of the field
of gambling and suit can be
maintained. In every case, how
ever it devOlves, upon the defen-
dant to show there was to be no
delivery if the defense is that the
contract was unlawful because of
its gambling character. 1t is
apparent that that is a pretty
hard thing to do, because it seldom
happens that either party takes
the trouble to discover the inUen-
ton of the other in margin trans
actions.
In the case against the Triton
defendants the plaintiff recovered
judgment-Savannah News.
