srARrs ON THE RIGHT TRAcK.

THE interview with Senator-elect Harry A.
Richardson published in TIE JOURNAL
yesterday shows most clearly the ideas OF the
new senator, and if carried out as we have no
doubt they will be, Mr.. Richardson's election
means that the Republican party will maintain
the success that it has already secured and the
future will be bright for it. The battle was hard
fought and there should be no chickering's or i'll
feelings over the result.
Mr. Richardson is one of the most prominent
residents of the state and is wel-known either
personally or by reputation to most of the citi-
zens Of Delaware He is a native of the state
and his interests are in the state. He has been
at the head Of one of the foremost industries of
Delaware and is a man of high character and
repute. Delaware need have no fear that he will
not represent us with credit to the state and
honor to himself.
Mr. Richardson states that he has never been
nationalist in politics and that he will therefore
devote his efforts to the welfare of the whole
party without regard to past differences in its
ranks. In other words so far as his relations
to the Republicans OF the state are concerned, he
will know no factions. In fact there will be no
factions in the future. AS he stated in another
interview he has no word of condemnation for
his enemies if he has any. The new senator has
started on the right track and there ought to be
no misgivings regarding his future.

oETTING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

M UNlClPAL GOVERNMENT continues to
occupy large share Of attention on the
part of those interested in progress. President
Eliot of Harvard University recently delivered
an address before the Economic Club that has
attracted considerable notice. Naturally he tends
towards the old New England town meeting idea
in which responsibility is laid directly upon the
people He thinks the idea can be adapted TO
larger cities but, the first evil to be attained is
to convince the,peope that municipal government
means nothing but the conduct Of business. He
likens it to the large and successful corporation
controlled by the directors. But there is a differ
ence when worked out in practices The affairs of
large corporation are managed by only few,
and a city government could be conducted sue
cessfully in the same way if the proper persons
were elected to office
We do not have better municipal government
because chiefly Of the indifference Of large mass
of the people who will not concern themselves
in municipal affairs. And even where their own
pocketbooks and welfare are involved thousands
of people will give no more heed than they will
to political or city matters. The failure of large
number Of the policy holders to vote at the cleo
ton to control the management of the big life
insurance companies illustrates that point.
In the last analysis the people get in govern
ment what they deserve.
So far as the town meeting idea worked out
a basis there is way of getting at it. The
initiative and referendum is along that line, pac-
ing direct responsibility for legislation upon tie
people. 1t is the big town meeting of which Presi-
dent Eliot is enamored of, studied and worked out
on a practical and applicable basis.

the following despatch to Charles r.
Zacharias yesterday:
Marguerite and were happily mar

This tells in a nutshell Of the elope-

daughter of one Of the most prominent

four years. The parents of the girl

HOPE FOR CANCER VICTIMS.

a MOTHER alleged discovery of cure for
\ cancer is announced, and to Dr. John
Beard is given the credit for the trypsn remedy
DR.. J. A. Shaw-NIacKenzie, noted English ply
stefan, however asserts that the idea of the use
of hypodermic injections of pancreatic prepare
tons occurred to him before DIR. Beard exploited
it. DR.. -MacKenzze,l according to many
members of his profession, does not prove his
claims. The disease of cancer has been regarded
as incurable-in fact the profession is not agreed
as to the cause of the disease calendars worst
malady. Many cures, so-called have been offered
but, there is none that has even reached the dig
nifty as to cause dispute over the origination of
the cure. This is encouraging If Dr. Beard
really has made the important discovery of spe-
cihc for cancer, his name will go down in history
as one of the real benefactors of the human race
and also one of the shining men of his profess
sion and there are many such.

TREND is IN RIGHT DIRECTION.

I is doubtful whether a suggested income tax
4 will be adopted by the Legislature in New
York state, but, the fact that such a measure is
under discussion shows in what direction minds of
the lawmakers are thinking. In Massachusetts
also an agitation for state income tax has been
started and it would not be surprising were one
adopted there. With the accumulation of great
fortunes there is a growing opinion that such
masses of wealth should be compelled to contri-
butte to the support of the government. Surely
the persons of large incomes are more concerned
in the government than those who have nothing
at all, and yet it is fact that poor man pays
much more in proportion either directly or in
directly in taxation than do those of large
means

TREASURER TREATS GOOD MOVE.

- HARLES II. TREAT, Treasurer of the
- United States, and who is most pleasantly
remembered as one time active in the politics of
this state, has started movement for clean and
sanitary money that will be welcomed should he
be successful in his efforts to secure it. Mr..
Treat believes that the country is rich enough to
furnish its citizens with better paper money, and
he ought to know. In England used bank note
is seldom seen. By the English system the paper
money is kept fresh and clean. Many persons
think that disease is communicated by dirty paper
money, but, most men will take chances on that.
Treasurer Treat thinks the cost of frequently re-
placing notes would not be considerable During
December the government gave out forty mil
lions of crisp clean bills but, this does not solve
the question. Banks located in cities where there
are no sub-treasuries must pay express charges
for forwarding the old money and the return of
the new, and in some cases this expense is suf-
fcient to prevent the banks from effectng ex-
changes. Several bills are before Congress to
satisfy the demand for cleaner money and some
of them may finally reach the stage of serious
consideration.

A western preacher recently declared that his
church was being deserted by his most prominent
members who took more interest in pool tour
nament at a club house than they did in looking
after their souls. After the sermon which was
described as sensational the minister was so ex-
hausted according to the reports that he was on
the verge Of collapse. We should think he would
be. Any preacher that is routed by pool tour
uament is in bad way.

The New City Charter.

l
Editor The Evening Journal
The new city charter is a long paper:
and 1t takes a man who cannot read
wen a long time to go through It. BY
going SLOWLY we get a chance to see
the faults
II is not well liked by the people and
the people are about right. Section 3
gives the city power to pass such
ordinances, rules. etc. FOR municipal
purposes as they may deem proper"
This is going II pretty strong. and 60
ing faster than the old charter They
do not usually make cha~ters this
strong The city might some time
deem most anything about proper"
II IS better to hold the city Council
back and not give it too much rope.
There is something funny on page
20 IL says the city may grant TO
corporations the right to locate. con-
struct and operate amy enterprise"
upon or under and street, highway etc.
Factories, cattleyards, shows hotels
and stores are enterprises" What
good would streets he with ENTER
prises" all over them. How would the
cars get around enterprises" on Mar
ket street? There seems to be a good
deal Of enterprise" somewhere in
these innocent words We Thought the
new charter was to tie things so there
could be no chance for log rolling
enterprises"
On this same page is something fun
nier stlll II seems to get after the
storekeepers. The city is TO inspect all
merchandise and prescribe what shall
not be "saleable." I don't believe any
city can do this. Then before I can
sell anything I must see the city first
and foremost and get it's consent. It
might say that cIothing should not be
sold and all would go running to Phil
adelphia after clothes; or that butter
should not be sold and we should have
to go over the line to get butter. No
body wants such a city. We want 10
sell all the honest goods we can, but
don't want TO be pulled backward.
note here some of the strange
things I see; On page Is II says the
Board Of Health can make any owner
connect with q sewer II his lot needs
draining. IF they have No go mile to
find a sewer ought they make him go
that far?. There is no ldmit. Rules
seem very broad and general in this
book
See what page so says about special
assessment for making streets; the
sum total for paving. curbing and
''other Improvement can be put on
the property. It might take all OF a
cheap lot to pay this tax for these
'other improvements" These new
fashioned streets cost too much for
poor lot owners to pay all. Neither
rich nor poor want to trust the city
with this right to tax.
There is much in the book about a
city court a workhouse and the right
to fine a person as much as $500, by
ordinance. Everybody, whether he is
scholar or not. ought to read the
book for himself and see If he can get
any good out OF It; for 7 cannot W.
are trying hard to make the town grow
and I know we can't by binding every
body down so tight We want plenty
OF work and wages and less tax. and
less city charter nonsense and not so
much big stick governing.
Respectfully.
