LEGISLATIVE PRINCES.

HE members of the Legislature must sure
= ly be pleased with the newspaper flow
crs that are being tossed at them on general
principles. They have certainly been handed
some choice boquets The ex-Eon David c.
Rose in his flower gardens at Newark never
raised real roses finer than the verbal ones that
have been presented TO the members of our Leg
islaturc
No wonder is it, in view Of these facts, that
our friend Admiral Ainscow intends TO entertain
all his fellow members of the General Assembly
at mince pie banquet. We sincerely trust that
when the banquetis held, plans will be promul-
gated for naval feet for Delaware, in order
that some worthy men may receive commissions
in the aforesaid feet.
We want more honorables more captains and
colonels and admirals and commodores. AS
idioms the life Of the English language, so
are our able public men the spice Of every day
living.
The social side Of the Legislative session is
something not to be forgotten Members make
friends and acquaintance that last for life
time.
In any consideration of the Legislature the
Old Guard should not be overlooked. We must
confess admiration for the Old Guard of the
State Senate What they don't know about
practical politics and about legislation could be
sqeezed into the shell of peanut and it would
not take very large peanut shell to hold it.
They are the Sublime Princes in the Political
the thirty-second political degree
We have often read books on government,
how government is conducted, how bills and all
that sort of thing are considered. Bryce tell us
in the American Commonwealth a good deal
about it. Alessersmith tells us something about
things in Delaware, but the Old Guard could add
a supplemental chapter that would be brim full
of information.
The only point that we are trying to make-if
we are trying to make any-and visions of the
mnce pies and Soper's coreless apples confuse
us-is that it is hard thing to get progressive
legislation enacted in Delaware-that those who
think conservatism may be overthrown do not
realize the task that is before thepi. Conserva-
tsm is entirely unlikely to be overthrown in Del
aware. In fact, a few men who may form an
Old Guard in the State Senate the real bosses
OF Delaware.
All the members of the House and many OF the
members OF the Senate might combine for some
bit of Legislation but If it were really important
or vital third OF the Senators could form an Old
Guard and hold up everything
Persons, for instance, opposed to legislation
like direct primaries or Public Utilities Com
mission would merely have to get their hooks in
on the Senate and there a halt could be made
a modern Hannibal, with brigade of elephants,
could not bulge the Senators from their legal
rights and the Senate might blow such oppo-
nents to aphelion.
Therefore, if voters want legislation that they
may call progressive enacted, they will have to
control the State Senate. For in it rests the pow
cr the dominion and the glory of Legislation in
Delaware.

MAYOR AFTER SALOONS,
Superior Executive Advocates Increased
License and Elimination of Brew
cries from Retail Business.

SUPERIOR, Wis, April 24.-[Spe-
cial. l-Although the voters of Superior
went on record overwhelmingly in favor
of continuing the saloon, theirs is not to
be a bed of roses during the coming
year. Mayor Crumpton and the council
have started something that bids fair
to stir up the liquor interests. 1t is a
proposition to raise the license from $500
a year to $500 on one hand, and on the
other TO compel every applicant for a
license to file with his application a copy
of the lease which shows that he himself
has control of the place where the bust
ness is to be conducted.
This move is directed against the
brewery saloons. The claim is being
made here that Of the 100 saloons in the
city less than half a dozen are actually
owned by the parties in whose names
the licenses stand. For several years
past the individual keepers have been
complaining against the encTOachments
of the brewers and in spite of talk in
the council looking toward heading off
the move, it has been steadily increasing
and not only leases but titles to the
property in question have been absorbed
by the brewers who were able to oUtbid
individual saloon keepers and merchants
IN other lines of business, who occupied
property that looked good to the liquor
men.
Mayor Crumpton in his message to the
new council this week has started the
ball rolling and it is considered probable
that some of the proposed reforms will
be written into law before the licenses
are renewed July l.
