Liberal JUDGES

II He Dover Sentinel had an interesting arti-
n Gle on the udgeshp situation Saturday
pointing out that the new judges should be men
representing the liberal and progressive element
in the law. The Sentinel argues that one of the
great political parties represents the ilhberal and
non-progressive element and the other party
represents the liberal and progressive element
in the law Therefore it thinks that judges taken
from the liberal party would be better suited for
the bench. The Republican party has been the
most progressive party in Delaware. The new
constitution and other reforms that we have often
mentioned followed as a result of Republican
agitation. In Legislation the Republicans have
been more progressive than the Democrats but
1here is still room for improvement on the part
/of the Republicans.
At the last session of the Legislature many
questions which have been thoroughly consid-
cred in other states were looked upon with sus-
picion and kicked out when they appeared in Do
yer The unprogressiveness- of the Democrats
as a result of years of absolute control OF the
Legislature by them has not been without effect
even upon the opposite party.
Liberal minded judges are desirable Some
times, and especially when we look at recent de-
cisions of the Supreme Court we may fancy that
law is simply adrotness in twisting words and
getting strange and odd meanings out of language.
Let a dozen people agree in substance that cer-
tain expression means so and so and it seems to
be the duty of the Supreme Court or high court
TO hnd out if there is not another thing that the
words or sentences could mean. something that
no one had thought Of If so, the odd meaning
would be proclaimed as law. Liberal minded
Judges, we should think, would look at the broad
spirit OF the law and not at possible qubbles and
oddities
But the spirit Of the law should be followed as
closely as possible We agree with the Senti-
mel on that point. AS there are to be four Re
publican Judges and two Democratic Judges as
suming. with an elastic miud that the Republi-
can Judges will be more liberal than the Demo
cratic ones, we think the Sentinel should be
much pleased with the outlook for the bench.

Excited ministers are declaring that
men have been driven from church be-
cause Of the present size OF the headgear.
Don't let any dominic deceive himself on
such a proposition. The men go to sec

the preacher They would be unhappy if
the hats were not there. and in evidence OF
this It should be remembered that they
foot the bills for the millinery of their
wives and daughters with cheerful alac-
rity.
1t is true that women arc obliged tc
take their hats off in the theatre. but
that is because the men want to see the
actresses and ballet dancers; they don't
feel the same obligation In seeing the
preacher in church. II IS easier to take

EXCITED PHILADELPHIA.

ID PHILADELPHIA was somewhat excited last
4 evening. There was a large demonstra-
tion of outraged citizens who met at the Acad-
envy of Music and protested against the action
OF the Rapid Transit Company in increasing its
charges. distinguished citizens were on the
platform lending aid with presence and voice to
the protest movement
All of this would sound big in any place other
than Philadelphia. A few years ago the "indig-
nant citizens" going to hang Councilmen
who had made deals with the corporations For
the time there was real excitement in Phila-
delphia Some of the bad men in the gang were
in dsfavor. But it didn't last long. Indigna-
ton, especially political indignation, like
fever, runs out in course of time
Some OF the men who were in the parade of
protest last evening doubtless had supported all
the gang candidates and will do so again when
they come before the people The Rapid Transit
Company may show some consideration to the
perturbcd Philadelphia citizens, but from a po-
litica point of view the gang and corporation
bosses are in no danger They can make up for
the loss of the few who will remain outraged"
when the next election comes around by voting
squads from the cemeteries Then there arc the
courts as a last resort. If the corporation wants

respective rights of the people and the corpora

and issues warning that fair play is demanded
and must be had 1t mentions the law that
governs primaries. We have not heard that any

is contemplated at the primary but it is well
that the warning should be sounded against the

and there is less excuse for the fraud mongers
who practice on their own political party.
There ought to be some way to prevent trick
cry in elections primary and regular. The sit

but all chances OF crookedness are not yet eimi-

Governor Forts fate depends upon himself
II skilled and resourceful he will be able to whip
the stalwarts, and then he will be hailed as a
great man. If he make no headway against
them, he will be sent to the rear by the good
party men.
The truth OF this has been demonstrated in
Delaware as well as elsewhere During the
campaign of 1906 we remember how it was sail
that certain Democrats who had left the party
because of their dislike for Bryan had been bur
led about 100 miles deep and never would be
able to crawl out alive. Bryan didn't win. These
condemned Democrats are now in control Of the

During the recent campaign in this State those
Republicans who refused TO support the candi-

have one days rest in seven. Often with Sun
