FLOOD REFORMS HUSBANDS
Chicago Judge Sentences" Wives to
Provide Erring Ones With
Good Dinners.

CHICAGO. H.. April Pure food Is
to be an important factor in the reform
OF delinquent husbands, conducted by
Municipal Judge Mckenzie Cleland, Of
the Maxwell street district After sew
eral weeks of psychological research,
conducted upon practical lines, Judge
Gle. and has discovered that food serv-
ed in Indifferent style by more indiffer-
ent wives has more TO do with sending
husbands to the corner saloon for So
lace than any other one thing. Exper-
iments have shown that good food will
force the most delinquent husband to
forget his evil ways and return to the
straight and narrow path. Now wives
are Sentenced" 10 provide good din
ners for the erring man and he is pa
rolled.
II there were any doubt as 20 the
truth of this theory It was forthcom-
ing az a recent review OF parclei
husbands in Judge Cleland's court
There were fifty husbands who had
been placed. upon their honor and good
food. The latter had stimu ated the
former to such an extent that there
were few wives who had any complaint
to make Of their husbands.

Legislatures Work.

Sussex Republican.
The Legislature adjourned on Mon
day. A great many bills were con-
sidered and some good legislation en-
acted. The Legislature deserves credit
for having accomplished more than
some OF its predecessors. 1t was ap-
parent that a different influence DOM
mated its action. While some Of the
same spirit which has made some Of
our recent Legislatures a by-word and
reproach to the state was apparent
IL did not dominate the Legis ature
and was confined 70 a few members
OF the Legislature. who allowed them
selves to be used by Alice and lay
ton in a futile effort TO secure re-
venge for the defeat OF Alice for the
Senate. These few members only sue
ceeded in making themselves obnox-
ious and disclosing TO the public what
small potatoes they really are. BY
their actions they have eliminated
7 themselves from any consideration in
the future, because they have proven
unworthy OF trust and confidence Of
their party. by betraying the trust re-
posed I'm them by their constituents
this time.
J we are INrAiiNA AA NeAe AAc NAAN -~Nn
/ lslature accomplished more because
they passed certain needed legislation,
which the people Of this state have
been demanding from many Legisla-
lures, only TO be refused. This is
not only the case of the Local Option
Law. but of other laws as well. 1t is
very apparent that the liquor influ-
ence did not control this Legislature.
lIt is very apparent that Alice and
Layton did not control and trade of
legislation for political influence. The
old railroad influence was still there
however. Opposition TO IT was more
open, moro potent, and more aggres-
sive and succeeded IN making itself
felt IN certain revenue legislation. OF
course. we must not forget 70 give this
Legislature fun credit for the prompt
election Of Senator and the admir-
able selection they made.

Help the Conductors.


Editor The Evening Journal
Now Is The time of the year when
the conductors on the street cars come
In for their share Of hard knocks at
the hands Of the people who ride about
town. When the summer cars are plac-
ed I'm service the conductors have to
swing along the footboards at the risk
Of being thrown of. all day long and
when they happen to do something to
Offend passenger although It is mol
done intentionally. the abuse heaped
upon these men Is something great.
Few passengers have any respect for
the conductors who labor so hard for
their weekly wage. They apparent y
do not recognize the fact that these
men, who have many troubles to con-
tend with. and that. on the whole, they
are exceedingly courteous and kind
i'm their treatment of passengers, even
TO those that have a disposition TO call
them all kinds Of names.
The people should endoavor to light
en- the burdens of these men as much
as possible without putting trouble in
their way. our conductors are moro
polite than those in any other city In
this country. and this fact has been
commented upon by people who have
visited us. They viii do more for the
comfort of passengers than will the
conductors IN other cities. but the peo-
pie here seem not TO appreciate this
We should give some thought to the
positions OF these men, and if we did
so I feel that we would be a little more
lenient in our treatment of them.
Respectfully,

PROBLEM IN NEW YORK.

THE New York Legislature has plunged into
n a consideration OF the regulation of the
public service corporations Of that State in COM
pliance with demand for better service and
relief from extortionate charges The bill before
the New York lawmakers provides for the ap-
pointnent Of a commission that will have ample
authority to enforce its demands and compel the
companies to live up to their agreements with
public officials 1t is proposed however, to
amend the measure and provide for a broader
court review" In other words, after decision
by the commission shall have been made by an
appeal to the courts. indefinite delay can be Sc
cured by the objecting corporations. Then there
would be chance TO compromise and the defend
ant companies would be permitted TO settle for a
smaller amount than they really owed the State
or the municipality.
There is also demand that the proposed COM
mission shall have authority to prevent the cor
porations from watering their stock and forbid
the issuing Of stock except for a real money value
And this is where the troubles of such companies
start. The popularity Of public service corpora
ton stock as an Investment because of the mo-
nopolistic franchises that they enjoy has enabled
high inanciers TO manipulate them and issue
stocks and bonds for an almost unlimited amount
of water-nothing tangible.
Then, when such Companies seek to earn suifi-
cient TO keep up interest charges on these fcti-
tious values, crippled service follows and the pub
lie bears the brunt In smaller communities the
companies often become involved in financial
difficulties. OF the truth of this we have had
several instances here in Delaware Railways
that would paw a safe and reasonable interest and
be a good investment are unable 20 do so simply
because they try to earn on a sweled capital and
bond issue, whereas on a normal basis of capitali-
zaton their income would be enough to meet all
charges

week some absurd remarks OF the Sea-
ford News about c. r. Layton going
to bust" the Republican party. We
imagined that the editorial columns
of the Journal were too valuable for
such trash, but inasmuch as the sub
iect Is mentioned we do say that the
danger attending the future Of the Re-
publican party lies not at the door Of
any indiyidual in Sussex county but
from the things THAI We're done the
last campaign m. buying up primaries
and breaking pledges. This use OF
money at primary elections will bust
any party. 1t busted" the Democratic
party wide open and WIN bust ours
