HUSBANDS DEATH
PROSTRATES WIFE
John Woodward Accidentally
Kills Himself While Taking
Gun From Wagon

The tragic death OF John Wood
ward. aged s3 years. a farmer living
on the old Mitchell farm, about two
miles beyond Brandywine Springs
Park. yesterday afternoon, came as a
a great shock TO his wife.
Mr.. Woodward evidently attempted
TO pull a loaded shot gun from a
wagon loaded with fodder, which he
had been hauling from the field, when
the trigger caught and discharged the
weapon. emptying the entire charge OF
shot in the right shoulder and infict-
ing a gaping wound.
Mr.. Woodward had taken the gun to
the field so that should a rabbit jump
from a stack of fodder he could shoot
at it. He returned to the barn and
leaving his wagon there, went 70 the
house and ate his dinner. Shortly
afterward he went 10 the barn and
in a few minutes Mrs. Woodward
heard the report Of the shot. She
found her husband lying on the barn
floor with a terrible wound In his
shoulder. She sent for DR.. Ball. at
Hockessin, but the man died within
hve minutes. The barrel Of the gun
protruding half way out Of the wagon
was mute evidence how the man had
met death.
He is survived by his widow and two
children.

MONOPOLY I'M PUBLIC SERVICE.

Il has been asserted by many writers of the
the new school-State Socialists, some
cal them, though they arc far from being gen
uine Socialists of the Debs type--that competi-
ton in public service utilities is impossible. Ri
val companies may be formed which for a time
engage in competition or pretended competition,
but sooner or later they are merged, became
one, and the monopoly exists. Because of this
trend it has been urged that the government,
city, state or national should regulate such cor
porations
The recent merger Of telephone and telegraph
companies bears out the monopoly idea. By the
new deal the American Telephone and Tee-
praph Company controls the Western Union
Telegraph Company, and the Postal is the larg-
est stockholder in the Telephone and Telegraph
Company Competition, therefore, is to be at
an end, if it has ever existed. Expenses are to
be reduced, and the service is 10 be improved,
they say. An alluring bait TO choke criticism,
but the one clear fact is that giant monopoly
controls the telegraph companies and it will not
be long before similar monopoly will control
both the telegraph and telephone companies.
Some years ago the New York Legislature
created Public Utilities Board which has some
sort Of supervision over the public service cor
porations. At the time the bill was before the
Legislature it was decided not to include the
telephone and telegraph companies. They were
competing businesses, you know. They op
posed all efforts to have them included in the ac
as subjects Of control. The reason is obviou.
now Plans were then on foot for the practi
cal consolidation that has Just taken place.

EQUITABLE TAXATION.

/ we do not make progress here in Whining
- ton toward better city government, toward
a new city charter it will not be the fault Of
the newspapers. THE JOURNAL, as well as
other papers, has frequently discussed the prob
lem of an equitable taxation of city property,
and the Every Evening has well-written edi-
toria article on the question of taxation in
which it says among other things:
But a source Of complaint even more
serious than high tax rate in this city
is the inequality that prevails under our
system OF assessment That hundreds
of properties are assessed at figures
which really arc too high and hundreds
OF others at figures much too low is ap-
parent An entirely fair assessment
or as nearly so as may be possible--it
is held, would reduce taxes to many
property owners and yet realize a much
larger revenue even at the present tax
rates. Indeed, there are many who be-
lieve that Just and equitable assess
rnent would produce sufficient revenue
for both city and county purposes at
rates much lower than those pre-
vailing
This states the point in nutshell, and the
question of taxation will become more and
more prepexing as the city grows, for the ten
dency in all cities is toward higher rate Of
taxation as the city increases in population.
Yet we believe it is true of other cities as well
as of Wilmington that there would be no need
of these increasing tax rates, If properties were
fairly assessed
We have no doubt that If a commission for
example, would make a thorough investigation
into the methods of assessment in this city, and
in fact in the state, many inequalities of assess
ment would be shown. How many men there
are in different communities who because of po-
Utica or other influence get their property as
sessed at much less than that Of their neighbor,
although the properties may be of equal value
One Of the best ways to bring about a change
would be to have the assessments of properties
published in the newspapers so that the public
at large could see the valuations Publicity
would in that event be a powerful corrector OF
determinations.

ooMPERs AND PRISON sENrENcE.

M r. GOMPERS is in doubt as TO whether he
4 n and his fellow leaders of the American
Federation Of Labor are heading for prison to
spend six months. If the decision OF the highest
court finally lands them in jail they will no
doubt take their medicine with good grace OF
course it would be very unusual for labor leaders
to be sent to prison, and if they should be- they
would simply become stronger and stronger in
the affections of their fellow supporters Comp
ers and the rest of them would have the oonso-
lation of knowing, if it be consolation, that a
few years ago it was the usual thing for German
labor leaders to spend considerable of their time
in prison. The late Liebknecht the adroit leader
Of the Socialists the thorn in the side of Bismark,
spent many long hours in German prisons. Hurt
him or his party, not a bit of it. The Socialists
are more powerful to-day in Germany than ever
before, and apparently drifting into general
reform party.
But really when Gompers goes to Jail, if he
goes, it will be interesting to note at that time
what has become Of the Sugar Trust officials who
have been accused of looting the government OF
vast sums Of money. We can then tell how the
government hands out justice.

Editorial
Opinion
Woman Against Woman.

woman Against Woman.
Now York Press.
The most virulent opposition TO the
suffragettes in this country arises from
the women rather than from the men.
One OF the most severe arraignments OF
the cause and its prominent supporters
came from Mrs. Annie Meyers, who re-
ferred to tho suffragettes as "the ladyike
Hooligans who play upon sex, the in
ternatonal csrpetbaggers" She harped
with passion on the old ideal OF the
home" and alleged that the ballo. for
women was nimical to that sacred in
stituton. She sees with horror the
"slow. creeping disintergration Of the
home"
There are women who represent the old,
conservative mans point of view more
even than the most Conservative men do
women so well trained by mems ideas
OF women that they go tue men one bet
ter IN their conservative idea OF women.
They have accepted what the sufr gettes
would call the slavish virtues demanded
OF them by men and have given these
virtues an almost religious sanction. And
so II Is with peculiar bitterness that they
oppose women who propose a change
in the status OF the sex. The idea that
general suffrage would injure rather than
benefit the home Is of course not toll
Grated by those who favor votes for
women Anything the suffragists think
that would increarc the self-reliance and
independence Of women would benefit the
home. would make the relationship be-
tween husband and wife a more equal
one and would bring about a broader,
more Intelligent treatment OF the chill
dren by the mother Indeed. unless we
are to conclude that women will aban-
don their homes to spend their days and
nights in political headquarters-some
thing the vast majority Of men have new
re been induced to do; in fact, Il Is
difficult 10 get a man TO attend caucus
once a year-there is no possible force
in this argument OF breaking up the
home.
u is probable that the suffragists'
movement Is essentially a healthy one
and that ultimately it win prove bene-
fetal to society IN general II IS not
probable that the ballot win be granted
to women IN the present attitude Of the
majority Of women. The great mass Of
women are not asking for the right to
vote. We doubt II they are giving any
thought to the subject. Until our women
as a whole do demand the ballot the
claims of those who are beginning this
movement will receive no attention from
the power that can grant it--voting man.
When our women as a whole do demand
II we have no doubt they will get II.
We should not like to hazard a predic-
tion as to the date when this will come

Some Dope on Eatino.

Do you know how to eat? It's dol
lars to doughnuts that you don't. and
1t was to enlighten such density OF
ignorance as yours that Mr.. Horace
Fletcher has come across the pond
to make lecture tour of Uncle Sans
land.
Health and content, according to Mr..
Fletcher, follow in the wake of prop.
er eating. His prescription is easy
although 1t may be difficult in prac-
tice.
In the first place, never eat unless
hungry. This doesn't mean that de-
sire for lobster salad OF quail on toast
Is to be defined as hunger. You are
really hungry only when you can
MUNICH crust of dry bread, and en-
Joy it.
Having reached that point, you are
prepared-if you have the curst-for
the next lesson in Fletcherism. That
is, chew. And then chew some more;
and yet again. Keep right on chewing
until the mouthful refuses to be chew
ed and slips down the gullet like a
glass of beer down the parched throat
