THE ELECTION IN DELAWARE

ID OFFICIALLY, the new year will prove a
j. stirring one in Delaware Not only shall
we take part in the national election, but new
governor. State officials and members of the Leg
islature will be chosen.
There is little doubt that Delaware will remain
in the Republican ranks. The party has carried
the State in the past when it has been torn by
factonal differences. The last time the Demo
Gratis won at a national election in the State was
when Mr. Cleveland was chosen President in
1902 Since then the Democrats have not
strengthened themselves, but rather they have
lost ground.
No indications Of a change of sentiment are ap-
parent among the voters, but this should not
make the Republicans Indifferent or uncautous
when they are about to nominate their State can
didates. With no senator to be chosen, Legis-
ature should be elected for the sole purpose of
enactng laws for the best interests OF the State
The next Legislature will revise the State tasSa-
ton system. That is, it is expected to make such
revision. The State Senate, being small in num-
bers, is easily controlled by a few members On
measures requiring a two-thirds vote it is not
difficult for small cabal in the Senate practically
10 dominate such legislation and to say what shall
or shall not become law The importance, then
of electng proper men to the State Senate
is evident The Senate is the key of the legisla-
tive situation
AS the veto power now resides in the governor,
the governor has vital part in legislation when
he elects TO exercise his authority The next gov
ernor along with other responsible duties. will
appoint an entire judiciary. 1t is therefore, .ap-
parent that the Republican party, being the domi
nant party, should be careful in considering the
qualifications of candidates for governor.

NATIONAL HEALTH BuREAu.

A NATIONAL bureau Of health for the
\ regulation OF the peoples physical well
fare, planned by the leading specialists Of the
country and approved by President Roosevelt.
was urged at yesterdays session in Chicago of the
American Association for the Advancement OF
Science
The ultimate reduction of the death rate in
America by one-half is to be the aim of the new
bureau which may take its place in the Federal
departments of government.
The advantage of a national bureau of health
over State bureaus, according to Professor Irving
Fisher, the Yale University economist and head
OF the commission of 100 having the matter in
charge, would be the power to deal with interstate
and international questions of health. such as
questions Of quarantine already dealt with bv the
public health and marine hospital service. and the
question Of pollution of rivers flowing between
different States. For instance, the Ohio river
has typhoid fever at many points The water
supply Of New York comes from different States.
and the milk supply Of New York comes from
different States, with little adequate power on the
part of the health officers TO control the character
of the products.
The formation of a national bureau of health in
view OF the agitation by this association. is. there
fore, not improbable.

Jswelry All Right.

Dover News.
A week or two ago we were reading
one night Judge Bradford's decision in
the suit of the Evans Brothers, bank
rupt bankers. TO recover their personal
iewelry from the receiver Of their prop
erty. Or rather we glanyed through
and over the long deeision. And after
we went to bed that night we seemed
to have more of it in our dreams. In
short, we have got ratified up about
this jewelry of these defunct bankers,
and hardly know how to straighten
ourselves out. It has occurred to us
that we had probably better now salt
down for our age q couple Of fine dia-
mond rings worth $500 each, and a
shirt stud or two of the same value.
a watch worth $500. and mother-of-
pearl buttons for our old white vest
so that our creditors could not get
them except to admire from a distance
And in case Of our decease our widow
would still get them as exemption. The
Only sad thought is, that our widow
might marry again and our successor
sport our rich jewelry, and make us
turn over in our grave. But we would
probably turn back again when rob
bers had murdered this second husband
for our rare gems.
The reader probably remembers that
the two Evans brothers. Wilmington
bankers. failed in business and left
their creditors badly out Of the game.
Indeed the reader is lucky If he didn't
lose lock or two OF fine wool himself
at the time Well, a receiver was ap-
sion Of the jewelry Of these high-hying
bankers. Now how he got this jewelry
in his grasp against the will and pleas
ure Of these Evans boys is a mystery
and puzzle that no ordinary man
should tackle. Because we cannot sup
pose that the receiver climbed up to
the second story bedroom window and
sneaked the stuff. or that he held up
the Evans in a dark alley and strip
ped the Jewels from their bodies. We
know only that the receiver turned up
o. K with this Evans jewelry in hand
consisting Of two or three fine diamond
rings and shirt and cuff ornaments to
match, and a couple of fine gold
watches. all valued at $500 or $500. and
proposed to sell them for the benefit Of
the creditors. The Evans brought suit
TO recover this jewelry from the re-
ceiver. and Judge Bradford in long
decision directed the receiver 70 hand
the stun back TO them.
We agree fully and unreservedly in
the reasonings and conclusions of the
eminent Judge. It appears that the
National Bankruptcy law allows a
bankrupt whatever property exemption

FOOD, FIzz AND FUN"

tn OLEFUL stories OF panicky conditions and
~ hard times in New York City evidently
had no effect upon the high vers who make
Broadway their place Of recreation. Money,
judging by the amount expended in ushering in
the New Year, is still plentiful in Gotham
1t is estimated that 100000 persons took part
in the gay celebration on New Years eve, and
that they spent $I,75o.ooo in 100 leading hotels
and cafes. This vast sum went for food, fzz and
fun About 100000 quarts Of wine were con-
sumed. New York certainly is not dry"
All the money, however, did not 80 for drink
Statistics gathered by an alert inquirer show
that in the hotels and restaurants 100000 pounds
of meat were used together with 475,ooo pounds
of poultry and game, 100000 eggs, 10000
pounds of cheese, 100000 pounds Of fish, 10000
dozen oysters 100000 pounds Of vegetables $780,
600 quarts of ice cream, $4,000 quarts of cham
pagne and 10000 quarts Of claret
The celebration is described as "the most popu-
lar in its scope Of any that has been held in New
York in twenty years"

GIBSON GIRL WAS
NEVER KISSED
Miss NaneIe, From Montana,
Walks Ten Miles a Day
for Her Complexion

BOSTON, Jan. S.-Miss Martha Nam
gle. pretty never has been kissed. She
admits it. and she is equally emphatic
in declaring that she does not intend
to be kissed, at least not until--well,
she says that out in Great Falls, Mont,
where she came from. girls are never
kissed until they are engaged.
Miss Nangle's security from Boston's
gallants is not gained by secluding her
charms either, for rain or shine she
never walks less than ten miles a day.
Her theory is that walking is good for
the complexion, and her own is proof
Of it.
She came to Boston to study music
and hopes to put her training into
practice in a conservatory in her old
home next year A winsome blonde of
the Gibson type. Miss Nangle walks
daily from City Point, South Boston.
to Mattapan Square, Dorchester, and
return, but she does not believe in
OVERRIDING even a good thing, and so
limits herself to a ten mile jaunt a
day
Some girls could stand more, / sup
pose" she says, -and most of them
not so much, but IL these Boston girls
would walk more they would not have
such muddy complexions. Walk up a
good circulation of tlq blood and you
have accomplished wonders toward
having a good complexion, but without
exercise lassitude takes possession of
the system and the skin. as well as
other parts Of the system, suffers. Es-
pecially during the winter months
walking is the best possible exercise.
If the Boston girls could see the girls
in Great Falls they would want to

SAVINGS BANKS IN FRANCE.

IT HE French savings bank system forms an in
Z structive object lesson in a time like the
present says Consul General Frank II. Mason, at
Paris, in report in which he urges the adoption
by this country of similar system
He calls attention to the encouragement Of
economy and the confidence in the stability Of
the government that postal savings banks instill
into the French people Established in 1888, the
amount of deposits on October 81, 1907, had
reached $267,ooo,ooo. The character of the de-
positors he says, is to be inferred from the fact
that the average amount of each deposit account
is about S52.

Editorial Opinion
Advertising the Timetables.

FNtNci AioiiS tA1 tNHSAahiSos
Chester Times.
Some months ago, the railroad COM
panies decided that they would cut off
an item Of expenditure, so discontinued
printing the timetables in the daily
newspapers That made little or no
difference to the commuters or busi-
ness men who travel frequently, but
IL was a source of great Inconvenience
to that part Of the public which rides
on the trains only occasionally. The
inconvenience of not having time
card in the house is still felt by the
same persons and there is a closer re-
lation between this and the decreased
travel on the steam lines than rail-
road men will probably be willing to
admit.
The declaration has been made by
merchants that since the order cutting
out the one-hundred trip books they
ride less and use the telephone more, a
statement borne out by the increased
telephone business on long-distance
calls; but the removal of the time
tables from the newspapers has made
more passengers for the trolley cars
than railroad managers realize
Comparatively few persons are IA
miliar with the time of arrival and de-
parture of the trains, but the trolley
cars run at regular intervals and peo-
pie in this city and the suburban
towns that lie in Delaware county use
that method of going to and from
Philadelphia with greater frequency
than appears at first sight and they do
so because Of a lack of information Of
railroad operation.
There is no doubt a big saving in the
advertising department of the railroads
because Of the rule that cuts the time
tables from the daily newspapers, but
the loss in the passenger receipts more
than counterbalances the saving in
printers ink.
The railroads lose IN another way.
In former years it was the custom Of
the press TO note all of the changes
In the running Of trains and to do this
as matter Of public information, but
there is far less of this sort Of news
in the columns of the newspapers than
before the reliance upon posters stuck
up at the railroad stations Is found
to be poor substitute for the wide
circulation of the public prints.

CURRY SENDING OUT
BALLOTS TO CLERKS
Secretary of State Issues instructions
~ to County Officials in Prep
aration for November
Election

Secretary of State Charles F. Curry
is sending out sample ballots to county
clerks as a sample of what is to be
arranged for election day.
The ballot has ten spaces for tick
cts, these being Republican, Demo-
cratic, Independence league. Socialist,
Union Labor Prohibition, independent
nominations and blank column. \
Then come two columns for consti-
tutional amendments and other prop
ositions, these numbering nineteen.
The state tickets for the various
praties provide for ten presidential
electors, one associate justice of the
supreme court, one member of con-
gress one state senator and one men,
ber of the state assembly.
Secretary of State Curry says that
the ballot is prepared as a guide to
county clerks to the end that a uni
form ballot shall be presented to the
voters of the state.
In it's preparation attention has been
paid only to political parties which
have filed certificates of nomination
with the secretary of state.
If full and uneXpired terms are to
be filed for the same office the I'M
expired term nomination should follow
the full term name.
In the column for constitutional
amendments and propositions The ones
relating to direct primaries and cap
ital removal are given space.
