NO DISCUSSION
ABOUT DINNERS
trustees of the Poor Devote
Their Session to COnSid-
GRAFTON of Business

Contrary to the reports and the expecta-
tions Of many there we're no developments
at yesterdays meeting of the Trustees OF
the Poor Of New Castle county regarding
the alleged cost Of the dinners given at
the monthly meetings Of the board.
Neither was there any opposition to the
denomination Of the present officers Of the
institution for the ensuing year.
Practically the entire session was held
behind closed doors as the open meeting
did not last over a half hour. the greater
portion of which was taken up by discuss
ing the temporary and permanent ch r.
manship and secretaryship Of the boal d.
on motion OF Dr. Henry, z. I. Harris
was named as temporary chairman, and
A. V. Leslie George was named as teni-
porary secretary. On motion Of DR.. Day.
DR.. Henry was then made permanent
chairman Of the board and upon Dr.
Henry's motion Mr.. George was named as
permanent secretary. This led to some
discussion as to the terms OF office of the
officers named Mr.. Harris. claiming
that the naming of DR.. Henry entitled
him to take the chair at once. A debate.
in which all the members took part fol-
lowed on the question, some arguing that
the naming of permanent chairman and
secretary could only be done at the April
meeting and that the naming Of these Of
ficers as temporary only covered the
period of reorganization and that there.
fore the naming Of officers could not be
done then. The matter was finally ADJUST
ed satisfactorily to all by making Dr.
Henry and Mr.. George officers until the
meeting in April when they would be
regularly elected as they had been named
in caucus. DR.. Henry was escorted to the
chair.
DR.. Day. of the house committee re-
ported that the house was in good condi-
tion and that the inmates were as happy
as could be expected under the circum-
stances. The farm committee reported ex-
pendltures for the month to be $lOl5O and
the receipts S25 The bill of $50 for the
purchase Of chairs for the chapel was
approved.
Mr., Dennison stated that Catherine
Kay, who had come into the institution
as an inmate. had proved valuable az
sistant to the head nurse and that she
had been allowed 50 for her services. He
suggested that her pay be increased and
by a unanimous vote 1t was decided to
give her s. monthly. The house commit
tee for the month OF March was named as
follows: Messrs. Harris, People and Den
nison.
The monthly pay roll was reported to be
S511S4 S42 of which is credited to the
emergency fund. The general allowance
fund was reported at $9S0.Ss.

THE FAITHFUL ENGINE DRIVER

Il IFTY years of service in the cab Of locomo-
i tive is indeed an unusual record. 1t makes
one feel like taking off his hat in honor of the man
who has made such record.
Larry Ceghan is his name, and he has Just been
retired on a pension by the Chicago and North
western Railroad Company that he has served so
faithfully for half century This engine driver
is past three score and ten years, but is still hale
and hearty. What a constitution the man must
possess to withstand half century OF nerve-rack-
ing labor in the cab OF a locomotive.
His retirement is due TO the rule of the COM
pany, and not because he has even at the adj
vanced age lost his skill as an engine driver
Often we do not think of the man who runs the
engine, the man to whom the lives of hundreds of
passengers are entrusted. lie sits in his cab and
Mr.. Acheson an energetic and erratic dry
congressman from Pennsylvania, wants to
suppress the manufacture and sale of liquor in the
United States as a whole by constitutional enact
ment His agitation is regarded as a joke, but
doubtless the congressman takes it seriously.
Anyway, the brewers OF the country do not re-
gard the prohibition movement as humorous
judging by the war fund that they propose to
raise. The fight over prohibition is very seri-
Gus matter for them.

COURT PROJECTS WOMEN.

THE Supreme Court Of the United States has
i just rendered decision uphodng the Ore
gon law which forbids the working of women for
more than ten hours day. The case came from
the Oregon Supreme Court, which had upheld the
law. An Oregon laundryman attacked the law
on the ground that it interfered with the right
cf contract.
With that conception of the law person A
contract to labor for any number of hours But
the court took the view that the law o ...S
number Of work hours was police regulation for
the benefit of society. 1t was pointed out that
women, for physical reasons if for no other rea-
sons should receive more protection than men
receive
According to the decision it appears that senti-
1nent entered somewhat into the minds of the
judges as they rendered their opinion. Sentiment
and ethics more and more are coming to play inn
portant parts in every day affairs. Any law limit
ing the hours of the employment of women
should receive general approval. What must be
thought of those who believe that women who
are forced to work for their daily bread are with
out the pale Of law, and that humane considera-
tons shall not affect oar every day working life.

The Richardson House.

Dover News
We earnestly hope that our town coun-
ell win not haggle with DR.. Sharpe about
remitting taxes and rents on his hotel
IL these little concessions would keep the
big house open, they would prove Won
derful investments for the town and coun-
~. There is not a house in Dover worth
5000. or $1,000. that would not be dam
aged $500 the day Or. sharpe closed his
magnificent hotel. It would be a natural
result Of a capital Of a state being with
out public house for its constant stream
Of guests. We cannot tell what Dover
men are thinking about who would per-
NIT the Hotel Richardson to be closed
over a mere financial trihe. We have sup
posed on a pinch, that Senator Richard
son might make an effort to save this
immense monument to. his public-spiited
father. But the Senator could not do all.
Last week in the town OF Smyrna they
permitted their last open hotel to bar its
shutters and lock the doors. It may pos
slbly have been something OF that spgit
that rejected a railroad generations ago.
Now the cobwebs will multiply, and eter-
nal stiffness spread itself out like fog
over that town. Visitors who have busi-
ness in Smyrna will hurry It up and take
the late trains TO Townsend or Middle
town for the night.

DIRECTORS COMMENDED.

r VERY citizen should commend the action Of
IL public officials when those actions are for
the public's best interests.
We, therefore, feel that Street and Sewer Di-
rector >hn G. Gray should be commended for
the emphatic manner in which he called to task
the manager of the Peoples Railway Company
when that gentleman appeared before the Street
and Sewer commissioners to ask further favors
from the public
And no less is Colonel George w. Sparks, the
other director, - be thanked for his equally en-
phatic support of his fellow director.
The contention Of the manager of the Peoples
Company that it was not the fault of the com
pany that a certain section Of street was in bad.
condition because the company could not prevent
heavy teams from passing over it, is open to ques-
ton. If the street work had been well done and
proper attention given to it, there would have
been no occasion for Mr.. Gray's remarks If this
company were required to meet the provisions of
its franchise and to do the work that is needed
along its lines, there would be employment for
many workmen and for much longer period
than it would require to build the three squares
OF extension for which the Peoples line asks a
franchise
The statement of the Peoples manager con-
cerning the work that such extension would give
to the unemployed, was a sugar-coated pill that
the Street and Sewer Directors did not swallow

When the proposed new or at least improved
Sussex County Court House is considered the cry
of high taxes is heard OF course there always
will be opposition to the building of a court
house in Sussex. But there is no real reason WHY
that county should not have a modern, up-to-datc
court house. Sussex is getting rich at least her
papers say So and her bank reports bear them
out Sussex to-day is not, pecuniarily speaking,
Sussex OF years ago. The county can afford
better court house, and her progressive citizens
should not rest until they have secured a build
ing suitable for all purposes.
