P. R. R. RAISES AGE LIMIT
Man of as Can Now Get Employment
With the Company

Any competent man up to As years
Of age can now obtain employment
with the Pennsylvania Railroad, pro-
vided, OF course. there are any vacan-
cies. a thing that has never been pos
sible before.
Since the organization Of the COM
pany 35 years has been the age limit
at which one might enter the service.
The regulations have been changed.
The new move opens the way for men
on other lines who have gained reputa-
tions for carefulness, which is only
made possible by long experience, to
obtain positions on the Pennsylvania.
This raising of the age limit Will
nccessitate some changes in the PEN
sion rules. the details Of which will be
worked out as soon as possible.

PREVENT EXPRESS COMPANY ABUSES

MOS heartily do we approve the bills pro-
i posed by Representative Herman Taylor
to prevent overcharges and double collections by
express companies on express packages The
robbery Of their patrons by express companies
and their employees has reached enormous pro-
portions and the evil extends all over the coun-
try. We would that the express companies be
held accountable for the abuses and that the pro-
posed law provided that in gases of an overcharge
or double collection the company shall in an ac~
ton at law be liable TO penalty of SIoo to the
party sending or receiving the package. We are
sure some such provision as that, offering some
inducement to party imposed upon, is necessary
to promptly and effectually check the outrages
inflicted upon the public by the express COM
panies and their employees. We think the law
might go still further and provide some adequate
redress for packages lost or unreasonably delay
ed in their delivery.

The usual number of so-called "strike" bills
are beginning to bob up in the Legislature. Our
old friend the anti-cigarette measure has again
appeared and that other relic of bygone days a
measure to compel patent medicine men to have
their formula upon their bottles is also there.
The government has enacted national law that
covers all the points desired in this direction and
there is no need for the Legislature to consider
such a bill.

PEOPLE BEGINNING TO TAKE HOLD.

VAT + are slowly and surely moving along the
w road that leads to better city govern
ment. People are coming to consider the con-
duct of a city as a business enterprise in which
politics is not the first consideration. Men may
differ on national and State policies Of the two
parties and rightly so, but in municipal affairs
the prime object is to obtain safe, economical and
at the same time progressive municipal admins
tration. Parties are necessary to keep each
other in check, Happily the parties in this city
are so evenly divided that one acts as a check on
the other and the people, under the circum-
stances, should get good government. And all
the people should have voice in it.

It would be good move if some unmuzzled
and collarless member of the Legislature would
introduce and pass bill requiring an immediate
inquiry and report as to the amount of taxes the
railroad companies pay the State. A revelation
of the true conditions would probably disclose
the fact that they are taxed less per mile earn
ings in Delaware than in any other STATE.

We are sure the people of Delaware are not
enthused by the movement started in the Legis-

the condition of the finances of our State and the
crying need for assistance to our State nstitu-

proposition is seriously considered by the mem
bers of the Legislature. 1t may be that the temp
tation of jobs, fat contracts and graft is aIlur-
ing that the real needs of the State are lost sight
