A shocking libel, in the shape Of an

Delaware last week in the House ot

posing to abolish the practice Of an
nulling marriages, introduced by Mr..
Connolly. a Catholic member. came up
for discussion. The honorable gentle-
man pleaded eloquently for the accept

the sanctlty Of the home. urging that

CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR.

ID ERHAPS there will be a number Of candi-
i dates for the Republican nomination for
Mayor of this city The more the merrier. Two
candidates, Mr. Hastings and Mr.. Taylor are in
the race 1t is likely that some other men will
be announced either by themselves or by their
friends as candidates for the nomination There
NAV be a lively contest at the primaries.
In connection with the nomination for Mayor
and for other city Offices the one thing that The
JOURNAL would like to see is free and open

mated bv the people Let us have candidate
who has not been Slated" by this interest or
that interest When we hear that a man is
slated for any nomination in politics, Il we try
to find out who is writing the name on the slate,
we are pretty apt to discover the thny con-
ceaed hand of a public service corporation OF
one sort or another
So far as we have observed this corporation
force always present and ever on the job, has
not vet named its candidate for the nomination Tor
Alayor How refreshing it would be if these IN
terests would stop poking their long noses into
our politics for while and if they would trust
the people to make the nominations.
Really some day the people of Delaware may
wake up and may say that it is about time that
they had some put in our politics and It IS about
time that the public service corporations quit
their Job
During the last Legislature, except on some
purely partisan matters the members divided on
corporation and ant-corporation lines, and it is
useless to add the common story that the corpo-
rations were the bosses.
1t will be possible however, for the people
of Wilmington to have a Mayor who is not
picked for them by the public service corpora
tions. but whether they get him or not remains
TO be seen.
1t is very important that the Republicans
should have a candidate of the people, Tor the
Democrats if we may Judge by their last State
Convention. are likely to do anything that the
public service corporations wish them to DO re-

TAX FOR STREETS.

HE city Of Chicago was authorized by the
a Legislature to levy wheel tax upon
vehicles using the city streets. The tax inn
posed is causing considerable opposition and sew
eral suits have been brought testing the const
tutionality of the law The highest courts Of the
state so far have sustained the law.
Taxes OF this sort are being imposed by many
cities; but in places where there were until lately
no such taxes il is hard for the owners OF vehi-
cles to reconcile themselves to this tax levy.
And yet so far as it applies to Chicago the prin-
ciple is simple and rational Property owners
there pay for the cost OF street paving and other
people use the paving and wear it out at will
The money derived from the wheel tax is to go
into the paving fund.
Why could not this scheme Of wheel tax be
tried in Wilmington should any change be made
in our street paving law? The agitation TO force
property owners TO do their own paving will be
renewed at the next session OF the Legislature.
If such bill is presented at the next session It
should have something OF equity about it. II
property owners should be forced to do their
own paving certainly the people who. use and
wear out that paving should bear some OF the ex-
pense. How unjust this bald scheme of property
doing their own paving is. Consider
Ninth street a street that is used much
by teams-he would be forced TO keep his pave
ments in repair for teams and automobiles while
a person on some unfrequented street would
be put TO little expense for paving The
injustice of the pay-for-you our-own-paving PROPOSE
ton is being fully realized in other cities as is
instanced by this wheel tax in Chicago.
