From a few Delaware towns come complaints
of the behaviour of the lawess elements during
holiday times Reports tell OF drunken men seen
on the streets to the great annoyance of respec
table people The problem of disorder in towns
of the State. could be very easily solved if the
town officials had the nerve to apply the remedy
A coupb of good policemen, such as we have in
Wilmington could rout the disorderly elements
in iiffy and have a town quiet a cemetery
if that were desirable But il the officials are
inactive or fear to tackle disorderly persons, such
characters will be permitted to do pretty much as
they please There is no reason why any of the
State towns should be turned over to the lawless
elements and they would not be if the town au-
thorities rose in their might and sent the dis
orderly chaps to prison
Evening journal., 1908-12-29

this we think they are right 1t would be we'll
to carry the entire question through to the high
est court OF the land so that the rights of labor
and the rights OF employers can be definitely as
certained
1t seems to us, however that the Judge who
sentenced Gompers and the others went far out
Of his way in delivering a garruoQs discourse
on economic problems 1t was his duty to inn
pose sentence and not to deliver sociological
address.
AS a result Of Judge Wrights decision the
first OF those prominent in the conflicts of labor
and capital to feel the hand of justice in the form
of Jail sentence the chiefs of the labor or
ganization. This gives their friends the oppor-
tunity to declare that it is strange that other ylo-
lators of-thc law manage to escape the prison
walls.
There are those who profess to see in the re-
cent setbacks of labor unions the way to their
ultimate downfall. But persons who see thus
are unfamiliar with the history Of such organiza-
tons. The Labor Unions of England and OF the
continental countries we're long in conflict with
the courts and the history of such organizations
is a history marked with repeated trials. The
Labor Unions will adapt themselves to the laws.

HIGHEST COURT TO DECIDE

NURING the last few months several hard
W blows have been delivered the leaders OF
Organized Labor. The elimination is the sen

Mitchell and Morrison chiefs OF the Federation
The high standing and influence OF these men
among a vast body of toilers has caused stif
throughout the country.
The first thing thought of, is that the Presi-
will interfere, but it is pointed out that the Presi-
dent cannot take hand in the matter until t
has passed through the higher courts The dc
csion of Judge Wright will be reviewed by a
higher court In the contempt of which the
Judge has declared them guilty it is fair to pre-
sumo that Mr. Gompers and the others were act
ING in accord with the advice of their counsel,
one Of whom was Judge Parker, the eminent at
torney. 1t is fair to presume that they were adj

he had no right 10 issue the injunction that he

SALE OF CHRISTMAS STAMPS.

II He city Of Chicago used one million of the
h Red Cross Christmas stamps on its gift
packages and holiday letters BY this means al
most $4,000 was secured to aid in the humane
work being done by the Anti-Tuberculoss socie-
ties. Reports from other cities show that many
of these stamps have been sold 1t is probable
that when the returns all p it will be found
that several hundred thousands of dollars have
been gathered,
The sale of the stamps is an easy and practical
method of securing money.
Not only is the result good in the actual sum
of money realized, but the educational value of
these stamps is important. They serve to call
attention to the war being carried on against
tuberculosis Only recently has the country been
aroused to the fact that proper efforts and thor
ough education of the people in the lesson that
tuberculosis is to large degree preventable
disease, will result in a marked decrease of the
death rate from the white plague
The sale of the. stamps is being continued in
many cities during the week The stamps have
become a fixture during the holiday season How

APPOINTMENT OF MIR. HASTINGS

N naming Mr. Daniel o. Hastings, of this city
to be his Secretary of State Governor-elect
Pennewill has done well. The appointment
was not solicited by Mr.. Hastings, but it was
made because the Governor-elect believed that
the Wilmington attorney was well fitted for the
position.
The selection of Mr.. Hastings will give much
satisfaction to those who wish to see the new adj
ministration successful Mr.. Hastings, has filled
the office of Deputy States Attorney to the sat
isiaction of the people of the State and he would
have been named for Attorney-General at the
Dover Convention had 1t not been Tor series
OF unfortunate circumstances
The Governor-elect fully appreciates the de-
STABILITY of having competent man in the of
fee of Secretary of State. Names other than
that of Mr. Hastings were mentioned for the
position, and, perhaps, had the appointment been
regarded rsirely personal matter some other
selection might have been made.
But the Secretary Of State is more than a mere
personal advisor and counsellor. lie fills posi-
tions other than that of secretary to the Gov
ernor because the constitution has imposed
upon the Secretary of State membership on va
rious boards that look after different State mat
ters Mr. Hastings is fitted for this work.
AS an advisor and counsellor to the Governor
Mr. Hastings should be well qualified. Often a
Governor, even so we'll informed as Mr.. Penne-
will is seeks advice that can be properly given
only bv a LAWYER The Governor is called upon
TO sign bills that may be passed by the Legisla-
ture. These measures require scrutiny-legal
scrutiny-and the new Secretary Of State is
qualified to give such care to the work of the
Legislature The Attorney General will be a
Democrat, and perhaps the new Governor may
not feel so free to consult him on matters as he
would if that official were Of his own political
party. That is another reason why, it seems to
us Mr.. Pennewi in appointing Mr.. Hastings
has exercised good judgment.
There is still another reason WHY the appoint
ment will give satisfaction to the friends of the
Governor-ecct. Mr.. Pennewill has been the
target Of all sorts OF adverse opinions and sneers
and insinuations lie went through the cam
paign subjected TO a fierce fire from all his pohti-
cal opponents who we're spurred on to unwonted
activity by hope that the old reactionary forces
~in Ahe Democratic party could again ride into
power. During that campaign Mr.. Pennewu
kept his head in a most admirable manner. HC
knew that he should receive his vndication al
the proper time. And if AH. Pennewill follows
the path in his appointments that he has already
started on, VIC feel assured that his administra
ton will be a credit to himself and TO the state
and that his opponents will be oonfounded.

Maxon Wins Lawsuit

In a decision handed down by the
court OF appeals today, Affirming the
judgment OF Judge Reed. Of the Nc
Cracken circuit court in the case OF
Burrows vs. Maxon. one OF the most
interesting cases to lawyers that has
been tried cut In some time was
closed.
The suit was brought by DR.. Bur
rows. OF Maxon Mills, against o. o.
Maxon TO recover several hundred
dollars due for medical services. The
plaintiff sought TO make the home
stead of Maxon subject to the debt
because the deed 10 the property was
given after the debt had been created.
The defense succeeded in showing that
Morris Maxon. father Of the defend
ant. had never decided the property 10
his son. he had given IL to him 8
years before his death and allowed
him 10 occupy II. When the elder
Maxon died the other heirs recognized
the gift Of the father and decided the
property TO the defendant.
Judge Reed he'd that the title was
with Maxon before the debt was
created and not subject to the debt
His decision was affirmed.

to be elected" This statement made
by Taft sums up in word what the
candidate thinks of the effect of his
speech-making tour thus far The
belief is based, Taft explained, on
the manner of his reception in the
states he has traversed in which there
was reported to be defections in Re
publican ranks. AS TO the national
ticket, Taft now believes there Is no
reason to doubt but the Republican
party will hold It's own, and should
this prove the case, Taft says there Is
no doubt he will get the electoral vote
of Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Iowa and Nebraska--the states IN
which disaffection was supposed to
exist.
