LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE 1T.

r ACEPT among the few who NAV be called
- the fathers of the scheme requiring prop
erty owners to pay two-thirds of the cost of paw
ing in front Of their properties, there is gagging
all around. The Social Service Club tried in
indirect manner, TO help the bill along. A
committee of the club supplied several alleged
reasons why the bill should be passed by the
Legislature but the club evidently gagged when
the report was presented to it for formal approx
al. The club did not indorse the bill.
The members Of the Legislature of both par
ties are very doubtful about the measure. They
don't want to force it upon the people of Will
mngton The Republicans decided to favor the
submission of the matter to the voters OF Will
mngton The Democrats favor a special tax
for the purpose of securing money for street
paving No one except those who have made
sophistcal arguments for the bill arc outspoken
in favor of it. The Legislators evidently do not
wish to assume the responsibility. No matter
what form the bill before the Legislature finally
takes it should be submitted to the people OF
this city for their ratification or rejection before
it becomes law. Perhaps each proposition
the bill as it stands or the Democratic sugges-
tion--could be submitted 10 the voters of Will
mington as alternative propositions. Neither
party is disposed TO go before the people at the
next city election as favoring this measure as
originally presented.

How He Did Il.

"When I was connected with a GER
tain western railway" says a promi-
nent official of an eastern line 1--WE
had in our employ a brakeman who.
for special service rendered to tae
road, was granted a months vacation,
He decided to spend his time IN a
trip over the Rockies. We furnished
him with passes.
HE went to Denver and there met
a number OF his friends at work on one
OF the Colorado roads. They gave him
a good time and when he went away
made him a present Of a mountain
goat.
Evidently our brakeman was at a
loss to get the animal home with him,
as the express charges were very
heavy at that time. Finally. however.
hitting upon a happy expedient, he
made out shipping tag and tied 1t to
the horas OF the goat. Then be pre-
sented the beast to the Office OF the
stock car line.
"Well, that. tag created no end OF
amusement, but it served TO accom-
plish the end OF the brakeman. II was
inscribed as follows:
"'Please pass the butter. Thomas ].

ROBBERIES MAY
HAVE BEEN MIXED

A dispatch was received here to-day
stating that a message was sent to Phil
adelphia from this city, that passenger
on a Pennsylvania railroad express train
had been robbed of $4,000 prior TO the
trains arrival IN this city.
The passenger, who was on his way to
Il city from Aiken, s. c., informed the
conductor that he had been robbed of a
travelling bag containing $4,000 in money.
lie said that Just after passing Baltimore
he left the bag in the chair car while he
went to the smoking department. When he
returned he found that the bag had DIS.

STATE WIDE PROHIBITION.

IT HE Methodist Episcopal Conference, at Mil
\ ford, is considering a resolution which
NAV open the prohibition question in new form.
The resolution asks that Conference pass upon
the desirability OF inaugurating a campaign for
the election of members of the Legislature who
would put the saloons out Of business. In other
words, it might be the aim TO- secure "a Legis-
laturc that would severely chastisc Will
mington because at the last local option cleo
ton, Wilmington did not vote as the Dry rad
icals think it should have voted. Such a cam
paign would not be strictly constitutional be-
cause the constitution provides for local option
elections according TO districts-pure local op-
ton.
IT, however. the Ant-Liccnse radicals should
get control Of the Legislature under the plan
hintcd al in the conference resolution, they
might be able TO impose a license fee upon sa-
looms in Wilmington and make other restric-
tions that would practically knock the saloons
out of business.
We rather expectedSt that the State wide pro-
hibition effort would come to Delaware in some
form sooner or later. State wide prohibition has
been the aim in the South, and from the South
has proceeded the impetus that has been given
to the movement elsewhere.
Should such a campaign be undertaken. it
may readily be seen that all other matters would
fall into the back ground and the "Wet" or
DRY" question would be uppermost in the FIGHT
for Legislative candidates The result would be
shrouded in uncertainty because no direct vote
would be taken Claims would be made that
this man or that man was wet" or "Dry." bu,
nothing could be said definitely until an actual
lineup in the Legislature.
The fact. however that such resolution !.
being considered by Conference shows that ths
question will not be hidden even for while
But we have no doubt that any attempt to fore,
Wilmington into prohibition by indirect mean.
would fail And if it is tried the prohibtionist
are likely to lose some of the ground which the,
have gained
State wide prohibition and local option are tw,
things entirely different .s.

Miserable indeed is the man or

TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

TT he statement that President Taft intends
4 20 stand by the tariff bill-that he will
either veto or approve the measure, when it
reaches him after it has run the gauntlet of the
House and the Senate, shows that Taft proposes
to be the real force in the conduct OF his admin
istration
1t may fairly be presumed that the bill pre-
sented By the committee represents in large
measure the views Of the President The-bill as
it stands has been received throughout the coun-
try with much satisfaction. There will be objec-
tions here and there as special interests are af-
fected. The bill, however, as presented clearly
fulhlls the promises made by Mr. Taft during the
campaign On the whole it is a decided revision
downward, and the leading free trade organ de-
clares it to be better than could have been
pected had Bryan been chosen. 1t adds how
ever, that in no sense is the bill free trade
measure or course, the tariff law is not to be
made to suit the ideas of free traders, but it has
been prepared in accordance with the promises
of the Republican party, and Taft intends to sec
that these promises are kept. The two questions
considered in il are protection and the raising Of
revenue for the expenses of the government.
The free list has been considerably enlarged,
which is really a protection TO our own natural
resources. The country however, is now chiefly
concerned in the speedy passage of the bill so
that business can adjust itself to the new condi-
