A Great See Record.

Baltimore American.
While the aircraft men are aglow with
the eclaut Of their exploits, it must not
be overlooked that the end OF record
making on the sea and land has not yet
been reached. There is no air record
vet that is comparable to some Of the
flyer records OF the rail, while the sea
leviathans make runs over long routes
that will not be challenged by the pert
air sailors for many a year 70 come.
The I.usitanla's achievement is enough

sci of the proportions Of a cons derable
town in the number OF passengers II car

ing by their report they are doubtful whether
the general public would be benefited by any
interference of either the municipality or the
State with our public service corporations. OF
course such Public Service Commissions would
be of no benefit if agents of the corporations
were made commissioners. Under the present
state of politics in Delaware the corporations
would have large representation on such
a commission should there be one. At pres
ent the public service corporations in Della
ware do about as they please, but the day will
come when some regulation will be insisted
upon.
The report on the whole does not represent
a very progressive spirit, but it does suggest
that changes be made in our city charter If the
Councmen and others holding office could be in
duced to join with the Board of Trade committee
and others interested in modern improvement
we could have suggestions Of the Montreal dele
gater embodied in a new charter as we'll as many
other improvements that have escaped the at

Opinion
Santa Claus Land.
Baltimore Ametican.

Baltimore American.
1t seems TO have been quite overlooked
that the little folks have the keenest in
terest Ia the discovery Of the Pole OF
course. the nursery tots have always
known that Santa Claus lives in
Greenland or Lapland or some Of those
far-on places. The little geographers have
had the prodoundest faith In the habita-
bi ity of the farthest Polar regions They
have so frequently pictured the snow IA r
les, the assistants of Santa Claus, at work
with this indefatigable toiler In his snow
shops that they are quite prepared not
only to believe that he lives at tho Pole.
but that he has all ong lived there un-
der the American flag.
There is no little American patriot who
does not regard Santa Claus as the lead
ing American, FOR this is certa My his
favorlte country. Despite his trave over
all the eaIrh he fingers longest and is
most generous with his f.s to the chill
dren OF Uncle Sam. These two characters
have been in cahoots so believe the
young folks, and therefore the American
patron saint must have bestowed upon
Santa Claus the emblem Of the land Of the
free.
Therefore. the little people are jubilant
over the fact that Cook and Peary have
paid a visit TO the country where ! the
Christmas toys are made, and they will
certainly be keenly disappointed If when
these great Americans return they do not
bear a message direct from the i fellow
with the shaggy beard and the twinkling
eye, who rides upon tho frosty night O.
Christmas Eve to spread gladness and
Joy everywhere.

DEMOCRATIC CONFERENCE.

PROMINENT Democrats of New York state
\ who are not office holders have been hold
ing conference at Saratoga for the purpose of
considering plans to strengthen the party. Out
of the gathering it has been expected that
movement will start for the reorganization Of
the party throughout the country.
1t is curious to note that one of the leading
Democratic papers Of New York City urged the
words Of President Taft, who declared that
there ought to be a strong opposition party in
the nation, as the guiding spirit for the confer
ence Perhaps it thought that Taft's advice and
counsel would be better even for the opposition
party than would be the counsel of some of
those who have been trying to lead the Demo
cratic party for some years
The opening of the conference however, did
not indicate that it would be of much practical
value. Naturally those leaders who hold the
reins of party management are suspicious of any
movement to change things because such change
would mean their own displacement. 1t was
also soon discovered that the conference was not
of one mind concerning the issues before the
country Most of the members of the con-
ference would probably have preferred that Mr.
Bryan should keep silent during the sessions
But not so with Mr.. Bryan. He sent tee-
gram to the gathering saying what he
thought should be done. Naturally there was
a plea for the enactment of the income tax, and
on this the Democrats of New York are divided.
In fact it has been suspected that one of the
objects Of the conference was to draw forth an
expression of opposition to the income tax
amendment.
No matter therefore, what may be done the
conference cannot result in united action. There
are radical differences of opinion among Demo
Gratis OF various shades and these differences OF
opinion will persist after the conference has adj
iourned Mr. Bryans attitude is that he and his
immediate followers represent the true Demo-
cracy His opponents do not agree with him.
Where then will there be any common ground
so long as Mr. Bryan regards himself as the true
prophet

OUR COUNCILMAN AT MONTREAL.

HE represeistatives of our City Council who
4 attended the convention of the League OF
American municipalities, held at Montreal, have
made a very entertaining report of the conven-
ton The report covers a wide range OF sub
iects in which this city should be interested, and
the Councilmen have undoubtedly received IN
formation which will be OF use TO them IN con-
sidering problems that arise from time to time
1t may be said that such trips are lunkets and
that the information obtained could be secured
by mere reading, but this does not strike us as
the correct idea. Much is gained by personal
contact with students OF municipal problems,
and things when presented by speakers often APP
pear in different light Besides the value OF
such trips does not depend upon mere attend
ance at the sessions of the convention but there
is much to be learned by the delegates minghng
privately with one another. 1t IS therefore, we'll
that Wilmington should keep in touch in this
manner with the work being done in other cities
President Naclean, of the Board OF Trade
recently said that one result OF his visits TO 9TH
er cities was to make him more pleased with
Wilmington The trip of our Councmen .
Montreal has evidently satisfied them that VIII
mington is not an unprogressive city--not be-
hind the times
The delegates mention the sentiment in IA
vor of home rule that is finding expression in
most cities and point out that we have made
some progress in that direction in Delaware.
The Legislature is becoming less and less in
klined to interfere with Wilmington affairs The
members Of the OcneIdl Assembly IolCu 10 ulS
opinions OF representatives from this city as
they should do. And the day is not far distant,
we think, when it will be impossible for persons
in this city who have "axes to grind" to go to
Dover and have legislation enacted "over the
heads of the accredited representatives of the
city
What the committee has to say on the ques-
ton of direct taxation is we'll worth consider
ing, especially since this city as well as many
others is looking for new means OF securing
revenue.
The Councilmen are not much inclined
towards the commission form of city govern
ment which is being much discussed in many
communities. The Galveston and the Des
Moines plans have been urged as models, but
our Councilmen are not far enough away from
partisanship in local government to make them
believers III the commission system. 1t NAV be
said in favor of the present system that the DO
litcal parties in Wilmington are so evenly di-
Vided and the independent vote has developed
to such an extent that one party acts as check
on the other. Neither party has so overwhelnl-
ing majority OF the voters that it can do as
it fancies In cities where there are great ma
jorities there is a more insstent demand for the
commission system
SO far as Public Service Commissions are con-
cerned, our Montreal delegates see little or moth
ing commendable in them. Members OF Pub
lie Service Commissions are usually well paid
Tor their services and this item of expense prob
ably causes the Ccuncilrnen TO hesitate Judg-

MUST BE AN INQUIRY.

He charges made by Mr.. l. Irving Handy
- against the conduct of the Ferris Reform
School arc of so grave a nature that they cam
not be ignored by the Board of Managers of that
institution The only thing to be done by the
Board of Managers is to make thorough and
searching investigation.
In fact, it seems to us that the managers made
a mistake when they ignored the remarks OF
Judge Cochran Superintendent Stewart desires
an investigation and has so stated. In justice
to him the managers will not permit accusations
repeated by the Judge and reinforced by let
ter such as that Mr.. Handy has issued to so un-
challenged.
The person most concerned at present IS the
Superintendent OF the Ferris School. An oppor-
tunity should be and no doubt will be given him
TO reply officially to these serious charges.
Mr.. Handy should be called upon TO furnish all
the evidence that he has, and Judge Cochran
should be asked to appear at an investigation.
Mr. Handy and Judge Cochran have stated that
they do not believe the School Managers know
OF the ill-treatmcnt which they say is practieed az
the school but it is high time that the Board
should begin an inquiry.
