 70. What did they do next?
 A. Theyscalied a convention to meet at Montgomery September 18th.
 Q, Who were at the conventionf
 A. The friends of liquor. editors of liquor papers. railroad attorneys and ex-politiciansswho want office.
 e. What was the purpose of that conyentionf
 A. To carry out the win of the Brewers Association and Liquor Trust. and to make war on Governor Coz mer.
 e. Is any, great corporation joined with the. Liquor Trust to defeat the will of the people?
 A. Yes. Col. E. L. Russell. vice. president of the Mobile q Ohio Rail- road. took q crowd of Antf's to that convention in his car..''
 Right here I will take occasion to say that this Is not true.
 70. Why should the Mobile and Ohio Railroad ally itself with the Liq- uor Trust agafnst the people. their homes and their children?
 A. Ask Col. Russell. and the dozen other railroad attorneys who were there"

This argu- ment is in keeping with all of the ar- guments advanced by those support ing the proposed amendment.
 The author of these questions and answers makes his appeal to the low. est and basest' preJudices that infest the human mind.

Chester Times.
There Is no better way of melting the
civic spirit and cultivatlng a desire to
promote the city beautiful than by in
cuicating pride in the neighborhood In
which a person lives. Under present condi-
tons It is impossible to excite that feel
ing In some sections of Chester, but these
neighborhoods VIII never improve until
somebody who has grown weary Of the
surroundings makes break for some
thing better and induces neighbors TO
join IN the demands.
some of the residential sections of
Chester have added much TO both the
nelghborhood spirit and the beauty OF
the city by the cultivation of pride in
the houses. the streets. the lawns and
general surroundings; and It will be a
glad day for Chester when that desire
for better housing conditions takes firm
hold Of all the people. We never get bet
ter things until we earnestly desire them
for the desire promotes the determine
ton TO have them.
But even in sections Of the city where
there is the most evidence Of civic pride
much more could be done by the organlza-
ton of the ncighborhood club. an organi-

GIFT TO THE DELAWARE.

w It'll reference to the proposed gift by
" Delaware people to the Batteship Della
ware the one point to be kept constantly in mind
is that the State in some way or other must
raise sufficient funds with which to purchase
suitable present 1t is not TO be expected that
small State like Delaware should equal in NUM-
fcence the gifts of larger states to ships that
were named for them Such an attempt would
of course fail, but we must make a present in
accordance with our means.
A meeting of the members OF the Battleship
Delaware Committee of the Board of Trade will
be held tomorrow afternoon when the matter will
be thoroughly considered. The committee, no,
doubt will have many suggestions to offer. 1t
has been stated that a decision has been tena-
lively reached to present silver service to the
ship and this it seems to us would be very aD-
propriate
1t will not be difficult, however, to decide upon
the kind of gift The question is, How shall the
money with which to pay for the present be Sc
cured Various opinions are held. Some think
the Legislature should make a sufficient appro-
priation and end the matter in that way. Others
favor raising the money by private subscription
Several local fraternal organizations have con-
tributed small sums for the proposed gift and
doubtless more of them will do so. We have
no doubt that there is hardly an organization of
anv kind in the State that would not give some
thing for this purpose as State pride and patr-
otism are involved in this matter. We have a
number of rich men in Delaware-not great
many-who are amply able to contribute for this
purpose but during these times our rich men
have felt the pinch of the depression If these
rich men would set the example by coming 20
the front with fair contributions the ball would
be started rolling.
The plan of raising money by private contri-
buttons however. might be tried. Hundreds Of
persons in the State would like TO contribute
even small mite and their subscriptions would
be as welcome as the larger ones But if we
plan should fail it would be too late, perhaps to
call on the Legislature.
Judging by statement in our morning con-
temporary there is evidently well-grounded be
lief among many that the popular subscription
plan would fail Probably the best way would
be for the State to donate certain sum for the
purpose this amount to be supplemented by pri-
vate subscription.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.

II TITLE has vet been done by the General
~ Assembly in the way of legislation that
really affects the people Probably something
will be accomplished by the legislators towards
good roads, and perhaps the transportation CUES
ton and the regulation of public service oorpo-
rations will be seriously considered before the
session adiourns
The report of the Revenue and Taxation Com
mission will be dgested and this commission will
be continued for two more years in order to 80
more fully into the problem of State taxation.
1t occurs to us also that IT might be good
idea to appoint commission which shall regu-
late the public service corporations OF the
State. or advise with them; that is, a commits
sion to hear complaints and conduct negotiations
between the companies and the people
AS the matter now stands when complaints are
made the people have no redress except from
the companies themselves. There is no force
which, for example, can exert even moral pres
sure or influence We have been inclined TO the
view that if such a commission should be APP
pointed under the present condition OF affairs
in Delaware the corporations would be care
fully looked after in the makeup of the commits
sion: but even if this should prove true, there
would AT least be body before which grievances
could be presented. There might be few COM
plants and there might be many At any rate
a board of three or FIVE commissioners could
be appointed at little expense to serve as COM
missioners.
It becomes clearer and clearer that the ten
dency in dealing with public service corporations
is toward regulation The Supreme Court in
the New York gas case practically asserted the
r4pht of the state to interfere with public SER
vice corporations holding franchises from the
State In many states there railroad com
missions and in some states there are public
utility commissions which negotiate with
the corporations and act as mediators be-
tween the corporations and the people Such
regulation is much better than so called competi-
ton among public service corporations because
experience has often proved that such COMPETE
<ioa is too often merely pretense.
