NEW CHARTER BILL IN BOSTON.

II He Massachusetts, Legislature has passed
n the Boston Charter bill which provides
for the complete change of the machinery of the
city government at the will of the voters. Two
alternative reorganization plans arc to be pre-
scented by referendum The first or the semi
political plan gives the Mayor a two-year term,
provides for a single City Council Nine OF
the thirty-sx members Of Council are to be
elected from the city at large Under this plan
nominations for office are to be made by petit
ton as we'll as at delegate conventions, but the
delegates will be voted for at primaries
The other plan is for a commission form OF
government The mayor is given a four-year
term, but is subject to recall after two years
in office The City Council is to consist Of nine
members all of whom arc to be elected at large
for a term of three years. All nominations are
to be made by petition, without any party
designation on the ballot.
Other provisions are idcntcally embodied in
both plans The Governor is to appoint per-
manent Finance Commission which shall super
wise the business of the city. The Street Com
mission is to be appointed by the Mayor and
all heads of departments are to be named by
the Mayor but the applicants for these posi-
tons must stand civil service examination.
The experiment of Boston will be watched with
much interest elsewhere In almost every city
various plans OF municipal government are be
ing considered. and it is not too early for Will
mingtonians to begin to think about changes
that might be advisable in our own govern
mcnt.

BETTER sTocK For FARMERS.

II HE Berkshire breeders and fanciers of hogs
in this county have formed an association
with Former Governor Lea as president. They
held meeting at the offices OF the New Cas-
tie County Fair Association and the members
propose to go after the prizes offered for the
best herds of hogs. The forming of this aesocia-
ton is one OF the many good things that have
come as a result of the activity and energy OF
the New Castle County Fair Association. 1t
intends to encourage the breeding of fine hogs
just as it also assists in the development of
high grades of horses, cows, poultry, dogs and
other animals.
But in this state and in other states there are
a surprising number of farmers who really do
not want good stock. If they did, should
not have so many common and fororn looking
horses on the farms, SO much mongrel stock
of all kinds. Many farmer in Delaware seems
to prefer razor back" hog TO a Berkshire, and
he will never get anything better until some as
sociation like the zone formed the other day and
the farmers institutes persist in educational
work.
There is vast room for improvement III stock
of all kinds in Delaware as trip through any
part of the State would show. Such associations
as that we have mentioned have field OF use
fulness that is practically unlimited just as has
the New Castle County Fair Association For
the real work Of this association and the yearly
expostions are chiefly educational.

WILMINGTON IN SUMMER.

M It'll The approach of sultry weather
thoughts of residents Of cities naturally
turn TO securing what comforts and pleasures
the, can get during the heated term. The local
Fairgrounds for children are soon TO be opened,
the swimming pools will bring pleasure to hum
dreds and our parks will always be available
10 those who want rest or recreation when It
Is SO much needed We have some mig' ty
good things in Wilmington. We have made
progress along certain lines that must cause a
great deal Of satisfaction to our people The
Fairgrounds are something of which Wc may
well be proud We have done considerable IN
this matter through official initiative and
iivity assisted by private help. The play
grounds will be thoroughly enjoyed this year
by the little ones especially in the congcsted
parts OF the city-the little folks who in their
carly life have not the means of happiness that
are accepted a matter of course by the more
fortunate ones We do not know of municipal ex-
pendtures of money that will bring more re-
turn than that devoted to these chldrens play
grounds
Our parks should be never failing satisfac-
tion 20 Wilmington We wish they could be
more used than they arc by our workaday peo-
pie We wish they could spend more time IN
them. breathing in the air of health and JOY,
and seeing the beauties OF nature that never
tire the eve We wish that the city authorities
could see their way clear TO provide band con
ccrts i'm these parks so that the people who can
not afford frequent trips to parks along the troll
lev lines could have some little pleasure at mu-
ricipa expense. Every one of these persons
who would enjoy band concert at the park is
taxpayer indirectly perhaps but nevertheless
a contributor to the expense of municipal gov
eminent.
And in connection with this subject we may
mention the work OF the Associated Charities
which is trying TO carry some pleasure into the
homes of those who have hard struggles for ex-
istcuce, struggles that have been all the more
difficult ttfrinq the last wear or so.
The officers of the Associated Charities have
announced that they need funds with which 20
carry on the humane work OF pfoviding outings
in the country for poor families There are OF
course, constant appeals to the purse OF the
well-to-do for help in charitable work in its dif-
lcrcnt phases. but here is one from the Asso-
ciatcd Charities which should strike with telling
force Every hot day will be reminder of this
branch of the work of the Associated Chari-
tics

GEORGETOWN, Del, June 1e.-Finding
his COW already had been MIXED every
morning for the past week when he went

In a few minutes he was astonished 10
hear the old COW begin lowing, and. at
the signal, TO see big blacksnake crawl
up TO the COW and begin to drain the milk
The old COW seemed to be as fond OF the
snake as il Il we're a calf, and was with
difficulty restrained from following IL
when It escaped through the grass. Bas-
sett has placed the cow in another pas

Care on woRKINGMEN.

q RADUALLY schemes arc being adopted
NJ or considered for the care of workmen
employed by the large corporations. In Ger
many there has long been government insurance
towards which the employees and the employers
contribute and England has adopted scheme
OF old age government pension. Some nations
Ike Switzerland even undertake TO provide
work for those who out of employment.
We have not advanced SO far as the European
countries. but we going about the solution
of the problem in different manner. Some of
our large railroad companies have already old
age pension systems, as the system OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
new law providing pension system foi
the employees of the Boston and Maine Railway
Company has been passed by the Legislature OF
Massachusetts at the request of the officials and
the employees of the company
The pensions proposed are to be made up OF
contributions from both the company and the
men. and II the fund falls below $500 as a
pension, the company will make up the sum

needed The trustees to manage the fund will
be composed of employees and employers. The
plan cannot be put into operation until ratified
ihed by vote of two thirds Of the employees.
When established it will create legal right
binding upon both men and employees While
the scheme is confined to old age pensions it
will probably be extended to include insurance
in the event of sickness. Massachusetts is fore
most in legislation OF this character, and the
success of that state in this respect will stimu-
late other states to consider similar legislation.
It is all in the direction Of solving the most
vital of our social problems.

that it will have to be decided in some manner
We arc confident that Republican Office holders
would not want to hold on to their positions by
means of such technicaties, but they have
nothing to do with the nStter. 1t seems to be
admitted that mistake of some sort has been
