OVER MEASURES

Clash of Retailers and

Alleging that retail milk dealers require
farmers to sci them milk by the dry"
measure, in spite of the law prohibiting
that measure passed by the last Legisla-
ture, the officers of the Milk Producers
Association are contemplating causing a
number of arrests of Wilmington retail
milk dealers. The association was largely
instrumental in having the law passed
The matter was discussed at a meeting Of
the association in this city this morning.
Declaring that the law is unconstitu-
tional, however, the retail milk men, it is
said are desirous that arrests be made.
so that test case may be tried. Robert
II. Richards is attorney for the retail milk
men, and some of the latter say their at
torney has told them he thinks the law is
unconstitutional in that it cannot compel a
purchaser to buy at a certain standard OF
measurement.
The opposition of the wholesalers to the
dry measure can be understood when it
is explained that it means that with every
100 uarts of milk sold by the producer,
about 16 quarts are given free.
A fine Of from s25 to 500 Is provided by
the new law of which the retailers pur-
pose to make test Its provision is sum-
med up in the following section:

the Republicans.

peared upon the scene advocating not only the
election Of Mr.. Kern, his running mate for
United States Senator, but also measures Of leg
slation that had been approved by Demo
Gratis of Nebraska and Oklahoma But the In
diana Democratic leaders not only refused to
elect Mr.. Kern Senator but they ignored all the
suggestions of Colonel Bryan as to Legislation
In fact. the Indiana Democrats, Judging from
their record are similar to the Delaware Dem
ocrats. No progressive legislation found foot
hold in the Delaware Legislature.
The Indiana Legislature like that in Della
ware took care of the corporations of the State
and nothing Objectionable to them was permit
ted to pass. A bill to appoint Public Utilities
Commission was rejected on the plea that the
people were not yet ready for such a reform
This is a remarkable excuse The people under
il are not yet ready in Indiana, to have some
say about the supervision OF corporations which
enjoy valuable public franchises. All employ
crs liability bills were rejected and all the legs-
laton asked for by the railroads and other cor
porations was granted. In fact, the session OF
the Indiana lawmakers was so conservative and
reactionary that we may expect the Cleveland
Democrats in all parts of the country to de-
mand that some one from Indiana shall be nom

DIR. sPRUANCE AS A CANDIDATE

II HERE is nothing strange about the fact
that no one cared to measure swords with
DR. J. Harvey Spruance for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor. The Democratic lead
ers, the men who make candidates. decided upon
Or. Spruance as the nominee After Mr. Ford
declared that he would vote for Dr. Spruamce
the ordinary Democrat knew that the game was
up so far as opposition TO Dr. Spruance was
concerned. Mr. Ford has repeatedly demon
strated that he has a grip upon the Democratic
voters OF this city that cannot be easily shaken.
Then, again, some Democrats probably
thought that even il the leaders kept hands off,
there was no use getting up contest because
there would be little chance of the election of the
successful nominee.
However, no such fears disturbed the slum-
Der of Dr. Spruance and his friends who entered
the preliminary race without butts" or "ifs"
and who propose to make as good a fight
they know how at the election.
The comment declaring il strange that no
Democrats were willing to make contest
against DR. Spruance at the primary indicates
that certain Democrats may not be altogether
satisfied with DIR. Spruance as a candidate. AS
a uatter of fact however, DIR. Spruance has al
wavs been highly regarded by the Democratic
workers and they have rallied to him in large
numbers as against any Democrat who might
have desired TO contest the nomination with him
at the primary
In our judgment Or, Spruance would have
been nominated by an overwhelming majority
If the battle had been fought at the Democratic
primaries

THE JUDGESHIP
Kent County Seems TO Have No Finger
in the Pie Saws the Index.


in the Pie Says the Index.
In all the slate making for the judiciary.
Kent county seems to be left out so far as
having any finger in the pic says the Do
yer Index. We have not heard that the at
torneys OF Kent have been consulted or
are to be considered The same seems also
TO be true as TO Sussex. 1t Is rather straige
that a governor from Sussex with a
brother on the bench from Kent should
ignore the two lower counties and leave
the selection Of Judges to Wilmington at
torneys and politicians. II is nothing new
that Wilmington attorneys and politicians
think the lower counties amount to moth
ing, and in the usual egotistical spirit pre-
vailing in cities. there is a disposition to
arrogate to themselves all wisdom and ht-
ness.
Unfortunately governors and judges
from the lower counties often fall victims
to the flattery and faWning of these city
brethren Though there never was a time
swhen the bars OF Kent and Sussex coun-
ties could not offer a number OF lawyers
who were not only the equal. but often the
superior Of any member OF the Whining
ton bar, the fact that the lawyers Of the
lower counties are too independent and
self respecting to fawn on governors and
judges and seek appointment results in
the remarkable condition that Judges. even
the associate judges Of those counties. are
to be appointed from Wilmington. and
without even the courtesy Of consulting
the wishes OF the Kent and Sussex law.
