Mr.. MULLER ENDS
WORK IN THE CITY

George Muller. of Clearheld. Pa who
conducted the educational bureau of
the license committees campaign in
the state left for his home at l.s0 this
afternoon, where he viii remain for
some time. resting before he takes up
similar work in other States.
Since he has been in Wilmington
Mr.. Muller has worked indefatigably
upon columns Of figures and volumes
OF statistics gathered from various sec
tions Of the country touching upon the
subject OF prohibition, and arranged
them for publication. Beyond this he
has made many addresses in this city
and in other parts of the state on the
prohibitory laws as enforced in pro-
hibiuon States His fOrceful manner Of
speaking and the exactness with whica
he outlined his position placed him in
the first ranks OF prohibition ad-
,vocates.
To Cornelius Mundy. chairman Of the
license committee. Mr. Muller gives
much credit for the result Of the cleo
ton in Wilmington. He stated this
morning that never in all his expert
ence has he met a man who was SO
ably cited TO conduct a campaign OF
this kind as Mr.. Mundy, and had it nq
been for his excellent organizatlf
work the result in this city might h9e

WET OR DRY AT CAPITAL.

II HE next important battle of the prohibition
4 lists will be an effort to have the District
OF Columbia placed in the dry column by the en-
actment by the National Congress of a law pre-
venting the sale and manufacture of liquor in that
district. Many opponents of prohibition there
desire that the test should be made provided the
people of the district have the privilege OF voting
that is, local option. But while some advocates
OF prohibition would agree to this method, they
contend there is no practical way under which an
election could be held, as there are wards or
voting places Congress governs the district 1t
does seem injustice to residents of the district
that they should have no voice in the regulation
OF their own affairs being ruled by representa-
tves chosen from widely different regions OF the
nation.
No matter how opinion may vary on the meth
DDS of testing the matter, the fight for prohibition
is sure to come up. The prohibitionists are gath
cring their forces and pressure from all parts of
the country is already being brought TO bear upon
the congressman to enact stringent law shutting
out liquor from the District. The Washington
Star believes that the result Of the action of Con-
gress in this matter will be of far-reaching nilu-
ence.
License advocates are thoroughly aroused over
the prospects of the fray in the district and the
National German-American Alliance has pledged
itself to make special effort to defeat prohibi-
ton in its attack upon the capital. Other organi-
zations are taking similar action. The fight in
Washington would be the first one i'm which a
large city is involved. The wave of prohibition
from the South has come principally from the
rural regions. Many of the smaller cities have
favored license but as the South is still chiefly a
rural region, the Southern sentiment against
liquor has been unusually strong

There comes story from the town
OF Jauer Germany, where "a conse-
quence OF scarcity OF houses; rents
were soaring skyward. Its per- wise
town Council voted as subsidy one
hundred dollars 20 any one who would
build for renting purposes house
costing one thousand dollars
But there comes a report from another
town in the Fatherland where similar
conditions prevailed; the town council
Of Schoeneberg profted In wisdom from
the Jauer Council, and voted 80 against
10 that vacant sites in the city limits
be taxed double that of improved sites.
Since like causes produce like effects,
II cannot fail that like results will fol +
low in Schoeneberg. II did In several
other German towns where they applied
similar remedy by increasing taxes
on land which decreased the taxes on
buildings
The higher the taxes on land the
lower its selling price. consequently
the lower the rent of houses, since
taxes on land does not enter into the
house rent.
No doubt we could stand a little OF
that remedy in this country, where you

ing; or as j. II. Jenyday puts #: At

REsuLr or rHE ELECTION.

THE result Of the election in Delaware yestcr-
/ day was about what was to be expected by
those who had followed the campaign. The anti
license forces in the city were led chiefly by those
who were unfamiliar with the political game
the actual getting out of votes and seeing that
they are cast and counted. In some respects it is
surprising that they did as well as they did do.
The result in Kent and Sussex was also what
was to be expected. The same reasons that have
operated to put out the licensed traffic in many
Southern communities prevail to greater or les
ser extent in Kent and Sussex counties. Then,
again, the moment that Former Senator Alice
and Dr. Caleb r. Layton actively joined with the
anti-cense side there was no reasonable doubt
OF the result. .sasaH
