THE CITY CHARTER.

REAT is the interest in municipal prob
~ lens in almost every city. We hear OF
cities changing their forms of government, of
movements everywhere for city betterment, Of
progress In many respects Wilmington has
more than kept up with the procession. In 9TH
or respects we seem to be tagging behind. The
people have lately been thinking about a new
city hall. Before long this question will become
pressing. The city will demand new city hall.
Public opinion is now in formative stage. The
question should be considered and discussed be-
cause when we decide upon a plan for new
city hall we should make no mistake.
Along with this city hall matter. and, in fact,
with every other question that comes up, the
problem of a new city charter should be thought
about THE JOURNAL as we'll as the other
newspapers of the city, have often referred 70
this subject We have always thought that the
direct movement for new city charter should
come from the Board OF Trade, or at least, from
one of the committees of that body But our
understanding of the matter is that the Board
of Trade is committed to schemes to amend the
present charter and holds that any change in the
machinery of the city government must be done
bv repairing the present machine instead OF MAX
ing a new one The reasons advanced for tins
view are that the present charter in one form
or another has been before the courts which
have interpreted some of its provisions. Il is
held that the city would lose the benefit of these
interpretations II VIC started over again with
new charter
This does not seem to us valid reason why
we should not have new charter. We
believe there arc sufficient number Of public
spirited men in the city men who are not in
Auenced by political considerations, to take up
this charter question, and TO devise satsiac-
tory charter Some OF these men we know are
weary of the long and unrewarded labor in this
connection. They have devoted hours OF toll
towards perfecting scheme which they think
is desirable but they have seen their labors come
to naught simply because the charter has not
pleased politicians. We have no doubt that II
! the question of whether we should have a new
city charter were put to a referendum vote, the
overwhelming majority would favor a new in
strument II seems to us that between the pres
ent time and the meeting of the next Legislature
the opportunity is ripe for a consideration Of this

Why Wemsn Marry.

Columbia Is. c. State.
The college woman, or the educated wo-
man, does not fail TO marry because Of
any ahnormality. but because she is too
normal. We yearn for and demand an
other atmosphere. When the day is done,
and the truce of darkness falls over the
earth. and We shesthe our weapons and
furl our battle-hags, we long for peace
and pleasure. We have agonized. VIC have
made agony one OF our changes of gar
ments; and We do not wish to have the
mental struggle and attraction carried
into the home. 1t is not necessary that the
educated woman should fail IN these
things-if truly educated, she would not
so fail. She could give us counsel and sup
port in the warfare Of life. but she could
not give us-what we most need-the love
and charm that would lure us for some
hours OF happiness from these sordid

The Franchise.

Philadelphia Press.
There is no more serious accusation to
be made against large class Of native
born American citizens than the willful
lethargy, refusal 10 take interest in a
righteous cause and thus lend a helping
hand 70 the civic forces which work
against misgovernment.
There is no way Of discovering Just how
extensive this inertia may be. Success at
the polls breeds perversion Of point of
view. For success at the time being means
everything; It means immediate employ
ment for the needy and ignorant voter;
his franchise means a job.
Who is 70 blame him?Any man with a
family dependent upon him would take
advantage OF promising offer. No rea-
sonable man would refuse one. No. ono
ever does.
Thus the right to vote becomes the op-
portunity to office. and that is the MAIN
spring to political vice.
Many a native American OF fifty years.
high born and bred, doesn't give a tup-
pence for his right TO vote He has been
just that far degraded in the human
scale He Is content to be a cog in tn,
political machine.
His franchise means nothing.

APPENDICITIS
KILLS TURKEY

Science has at last discovered why the
turkey is so scarce that its price has be-
come prohibitive for mspy a Thanksgiv-
ing tahle-thc big bird has been literally
wiped out in New England by appendi-
oius. More than this, tho disease has
spread as far south as Virginia, and is
already invading Michigan, which up TO
the present time has for years been the
chief breeding place Of turkeys.
So. serious is the danger Of a virtual
extinction of the national bird" that
thorough investigation Of the causes of
the disease and its possible prevention is
being made by such well-llnown scien-
lists as DIT. Theobald Smith and DR.. E. T.
Tyzzer of the Harvard Medical School and
by Dr. Phillip B. Hadley Of the State ex-
pertinent station Of Rhode Island
The same disease which has decimated
turkeys has of late spread to game birds.
such as partridge and quail and the in
vestigation in this special line is being
prosecuted by DR.. George W. Field Of the
Massachusetts Fish and Game Commits
sion. The findings Of all these men have
agreed that the old-fashioned "turkeyair"
or "backhead," which thousands Of farm
ers have bewailed as the bane Of the
valuable fiocks Of Thanksgiving birds, is
only the outward sign Of disease. which
starts from a small living organism, and
which produces in the intestines OF the
turkey or partridge an inflammation SINH
lar to that Of appendicitis in man.
The organism which infects the doomed
birds has been variously Identified simply
as an amoeba and more specifically term
ed the ''coccidium aviun.' but under
either name it has done its work and the
experts unite In saying that once the
disease has attacked a partridge or a
game bird there is no hope. Although the
disease is almost exactly the same, and
in the same location as appendicitis in
man. nobody had thought it worth while
TO perform an operation OF appendictomy
on birds

SUNDAY LABOR.

Nov and then in almost every city move
ment is started chiefly by persons who
hold to the old time view OF observance of the
Sabbath, to curtai Sunday labor The move
ment goes on for a while, few stores, minor
places of business, are closed for time,
the ardor of those at the head Of the Sunday
closing movement coos, and things resume the
old way. No doubt Sunday labor has greatly
increased during the last few years, due, per
haps. to what is termed modern necessity"
and to conditions that have come about since
the so-called blue laws were enacted. The keep
ing open of certain stores on Sunday is proba-
bly, violation of the law, a violation that has
been acquesced in by large part of the pub
lie and by the authorities Of almost every city.
But in some cities there has been reaction and

now closed through the voluntary action of the
proprietors. Most of the large tobacco stores
and many of the drug stores in the chief busi-
ness part of Philadelphia, for example, are now
closed on Sunday. The proprietors evidently
believe that they should be entitled to one day
of rest in seven.
This economic view, wholly apart from any
religious obligations, has been strong force
IN preserving the Sabbath. For many years it
has been agitated, more or less, even in the con
tinental countries of Europe. If our memory
is not astray, it was Proudhon, the great An
archist writer, who years ago won his spurs be-
fore one of the French learned societies by his
essay against Sunday labor.
In this country there is national association
with a large membership that is working for
the protection Of the Sabbath" 1t is composed
of labor leaders and of persons who hold to the
Puritanical idea of Sabbath observation.
These two forces are working for the same end,
travelling toward the same goal, but in diff
ferent paths. 1t is rather hard to convince most
people that Sunday labor should be prohibited
for purely religious reasons The necessity"
clause is elastic and even taking the reason
able view it is hard to draw the line Some great
religious bodies have never put the same stress
on the observance Of Sunday that others do.
The Puritanical idea has been held by them TO
be an erroneous idea, not warranted by the teach
ings OF the early church. Sunday to those op-
posed to the Purtancal notion is not day of
weeping and wailing and solemnity
