Editorial
Opinion
Prohibition Resubmission.

Georgetown Journal.
The re-submission OF this question Of
license or no license. seems TO be taking
up a great deal of attention and time of
the Legislature. In our way of thinking
this Is a matter that is absolutely I'M
called for at this time. 1t has been but
little over a year since this question was
submitted to the people OF the State and
decisive maiorities resulted In all four of
the districts Of the State; Sussex and
Kent going strongly for no license and
rural New Castle and Wilmington going
for license. Wilmington voted very de-
cdedly for license. and rural New Cas-
tie for license by comfortable majority.
Now the people generally, Of none of the
four districts are demanding re-submis-
sion of the question; they do not want to
be eternally having to pass on the ques-
ton. The fact that rural New Castle gave
the smallest majority of any of the dis
tricts, is no reason or excuse for asking
for re-submission at this early day after
the special election. The object of local
option Is to obtain the expression of the
majority, and small majority is just as
conclusive as a large or overwhelming
majority. For this reason we believe the
local optionists Of rural New Castle are
making a mistake and a blunder in ask
ing the resubmisslon from the present
Legislature and it is to be hoped that they
win withdraw their petition now before
the Legislature. And for the same rea-
son it is to be hoped that no further at
tempt viii be made by the license people
for re-submission of the question in
Sussex. The people generally are not ask
ing for II. they want the present law in
this county to have a fair test before an
other submission.
Then besides, a re-submission, whether
at special or general election, is bound
to engender animoslties, and IL at the gem
eral election TO become involved, in other
questions or revision. But what the peo.
pie want most is rest from the agitation,
and for the further reason that a re-
submission either in Sussex or rural New
Castle would not change the present
status Of affairs Both would go again
as they went in 1907. in all probability.

new light on the convention On the other hand
the members of the convention have considered
the subject OF tariff commission for some
time.
1t has been urged that the commission would
have no final authority, and that it would not
be worth a straw because Congress makes the
tariff. But the commission would not be
less. 1t would make recommendations AMI these
suggestions would influence Congress just as
much as any other expression of public sentiment
influences the law makers A commission could
thoroughly consider the tariff question from the
point of view of the country at large and not
merely as individuals

THREE CENT FARES IN CLEVELAND.

It HE three cent street car fare in Cleveland
II %. which was started under the direction
of Mayor Tom. L. Johnson has not proved pc
cuniary success, according to the report submit
ted to the United States Court of that city by
the receivers The report for January showed
deficit Of more than $4,000. The shortage is
said to be larger than it was in any other month
since the plan has been tried
The receivers attribute the shortage to the
extensive improvements made in the service and
to the decrease in the travel.
The experience of Mayor Johnson is not likely
to be duplicated soon elsewhere, because no one
will be apt to urge a three cent fare. Johnson's
plan was marked by difficulty from the be-
ginning. Those upon whom he counted for aid
gave him nothing but trouble He was har-
assed by strikes of the men employed on the
municipal line and his whole scheme was con-
demned by referendum vote before it had been
given fair trial.

To Clean Kitchen Utensils.

Cleaning pots and kettles is usually
considered the most disagreeable piece Of
drudgery in the household, but like
everything else there is an easier way to
do it, If one knows how. As soon as the
food is removed from such utensils, pour
in some water and small quantity of
solution made by dissolving tablespoon
full of Gold Dust washing powder IN
gallon of water. Leave to soak while
washing the dishes, then pour off the
water and fill with clean suds made In
the same way. If particles of food still
adhere to the inside of the utensils. use
pot rings for removing them.
