WOULD BE A STEP BACKWARD.

MT HAT reason is there to believe that the
w Democrats if in control of the city adj
ministraton would give better accounting of
their stewardship than the Republicans have
done? Was there anything accomplished by the
Democratic House at Dover TO show that the
Democrats have changed-that the leopard has
altered its spots and that the Democrats if
placed in power in Wilmington would admin
lister the affairs Of the city in way that would
win the approval of the voters? Had the Dem
ocrats not had chance at Dover to show them
selves, they could have made promises that
would have had more effect during the CAM
paign just closing.
But as a matter Of fact the newspaper mouth
piece of the Democratic ticket, which represents
at least small part of the Democratic party,
has never stood for progressive legislation of
any sort. Wilmington would not advance un>
der such influences. 1t would be a city that
stood still, and very still indeed, when ques-
tons between the people and the public service
corporations, for instance, were to be consid-
cred.
The people Of this city have had experience
in Democratic management of its affairs and
despite the criticisms made against the Republi-
ticket there is no disposition To- set the
hands of the clock back by eleoting the Demo-
cratic city ticket a

The criticism did not tell the entire story. One
OF the Democratic Senators desired to absent
himself for the time being from the Senate and
IN order that no advantage could be taken of his
absence he requested Senator Richardson in adj
vance ito pair with him, custom that is large
ly followed in the Senate and sanctioned by the
party leaders. The pair is always printed
in the Congressional Record and had the critic

VOTE THE REPUBLIcAN TICKET.

II HE size of the Republican majority at the
u election tomorrow depends upon the abil-
ity OF the Republican managers TO get ont the
Republican vote. The city is normally Repub-
lican as has been demonstrated in many an cleo
ton. The party in this campaign is united. If
there has been any serious dissatisfaction, il has
not been manifested. The Democrats on the
surface have shown little interest in the caml
paign, but the Republicans should not be
caught mapping" There is nothing about the
Democratic ticket to appeal to the voter outside
of the regular party lines. There is no reason
advanced why the administration of the affairs
Of this city should be turned over to the Demo-
cratic leaders represented by Mr. Ford and those
who are in control Of the party management
The Republicans have on the whole made a
record on which they can go to the people to-
morrow with confidence. Under Republican
control of the city a huge deficit that the Demo
Gratis juggled with for years has been wiped out.
Appropriations for the Board Of Education have
been increased twice so that the teachers sala-
ries can be adjusted The appropriations for the
Library, for the Firemen and for the Police De
partments have been increased Arrangements
have been made for carrying the interest on the
bond issues for street improvement and other
purposes. All of this has been done without an
increase in the tax rate. A new auditing sys-
tenn for city accounts has been installed
The Republicans have made an effort to pro-
vide for the equitable assessment Of properties
and this wise step has brought upon them the
condemnation of some persons speaking for the
Democrats.
Evidently these critics want nequitable asess-
ments-they want the smaller properties to pay
more than their share of taxation We trust
that the new Republican administration will
continue the laudable efforts to equalize taxa
ton, To make all properties bear Just share of
INSTRUMENTATION according to the value of the
properties. We want a progressive administra-
ton in this city, not a pull-baoI administration
which grants favors to people of large wealth
and denies them TO the humble citizen Mr.
Taylor has stood for equitable taxation, and IL
elected we expect that he will follow the same
course that he has followed in knowing neither
rich nor poor-when it comes to considering the
always live subject of municipal taxation.

tney interfere with business, they saw.
Yes, they do interfere with business.
They compel capital to pay living wages.
They enforce the demand for the pro.
lection of life in the factories. They
keep women and children rom working
fifteen to sixteen hours in an unsanitary
building. This is pretty serious thing
when state has to pass law to prevent
man sending his twenty year-o-- girl
into facory. You don t have to compel
tiger to protect its offspring.
Capital says unions interfere with bust
ness. A brick factory does not make
business any more than body of work.
lngmen gathered outside the factory
ana the workmen meet, agree upon terms
and the men enter that factory and go to
work. The employer puts his money into
that business, and the workmen his life
The one has as much right as the other
to regulate that business.
Men don It go into unions because thew
like them. They are expensive. 1t costs
money to support a union Men don Il
advocate closed shop because they like
1t. But my friends, it is because trade
anu 'he cioSeo SnOp are the only
means the working man has to protect
his life and his family
Let US assume that all they saw in
criticism of trade.unions is true. Sun
pose they are unjust, arrogant, often un-
wise; that, they prevent some men from
obtaining employment. I say, granting
the truth of this, that with all their faults
trade-unions have done more for bu-
marity than any ether organizations
OF men that ever existed They have
done more for the betterment of the
race, for the developing of character in
man than any other association of men.
Their faults are human. The weakness
of trade-unions are the Weaknesses of
of every association of men. They can.
not be helped.
Some day there will come the brother
hood of man. Some day Industrial war
fare between nations will be seen to
be Ridiculous and waste of life and
money. Some day men will work together
IN grand cooperative scheme But un-
til that day the trade-unions must stand
as the only safeguard of the workingman
the only instrument by which he can
maintain himself and his family.

or even as "learned in the law w',-than
driveling about free contract,'' and
granting injunctions against the criminal
clauses of labor limiting laws. And when
manufacturers confess to paying women
who work for them faithfully and compe-
tently, less thana living wage for a ten
hour day, it behooves the manufacturers
associations to do something better than
to whine about the despotism of ten hour
laws. If there are any decent men in
the Illinois Manufacturers Association,
they should be glad to escape the odium
of this wretchedly hideous confession, by
explaining why they do not, pay better
wages. And if it is because they-cannot,
then by trying honestly and fairly and
with as much energy as they now expend
in invoking government by injunction
against workers in duress, why it is that
they can not. Is it because they are sord-
id and greedy? or is it because they also,
as well as their hired people, are plunder.
ed7 There are minds open for explana.
tions for them. But they deserve the Sc
verest censure of giving countenance to
the gross inhumanity which their own as
sociation attributes to them by its hideous
confession in this ten hour case.-The

Is the Much Talked of
Rescue Stations for the
Mime Workers.
Duncan Mcdonald, De-
clares it will Amount
to but Little in Way of
Life Saving for the
Coal Diggers.

Duncan Mcdonald, president of the
United Mine Workers of Illinois, who is
in Chicago on short visit, denounces
the seeming activity of the government
officials in establishing mine rescue sta
tions, declaring this to be only a small
matter in saving the lives of miners.
If all this effort could be expended
in an endeavor to really improve con
ditions in the mines, something of real
worth could be accomplished. We do not
want any woodwork in the mines We
want all such construction work to be
made OF stone and concrete. Numerous
other changes along similar lines are
much better than rescue stations.
9 In an explosion the men are usually
killed Immediately. OF what use are
rescue stations under such conditions
We want more prevention and less cure. -
Mcdonald was in Chicago to confer
with Attorney Seymour Steadman, coun-
sci for the miners on matters regarding
the investigation being conducted by the
coroner's jury.
The President of the United Mine
Workers in Illinois will go to Springfield
Immediately, where he will present a re.
port to the legislature making recommcn.
datlons for the changes needed to mako
mines safe. A copy of this report will
be sent to every state organization of tho
miners in the United States, SO that they
may benefit by the experience of the
Illinois miners in tho Cherry dsacter,
where 354 lives were snuffed out. The
Illinois state mine investigating board,
appointed by Governor Deneen after the
Cherry horror, has drafted bill cmbody-
ing many of the points urged by the
miners.
Speaking of the brutal slur-.vhich Err
nest 2. Bicknell, of the Rcd Cross Society,
east on the widows and mothers left des-
titute by the fire at the ST. Paul mine.
Mcdonald said:
There was neither excuse nor reason
for the statements credited to Bicknell.
1t was hard to realize at first that such
an attack could really be made by any
one. There is but one construction to be
placed on Bickneil's words They are
an insult to the miners wives, daughters
and widows No man had any right to
make such statements

ion in the accomplishment of special re-
forms. The real test of the church s
sincerely in the matter of its sympathy
for the trades -unionists in this struggle
for better things is not in the mere "rec-
ognition' of his union, but in its willing
ness to help him secure the practical
things which he is after. This it can
readily do when the issue has a mortal
basis, as in the case of fight for little
children, for weak women and for down
trodden men, for weekly rest day, for
living wage, for decent living conditions
When the question at stake is merely
matter of expediency, of jurisdiction, of
the recognition of the union or a similar
matter, then the church may have the
right to remain neutral, just as the
trades unionist would not be expected to
take sides were the church to take up the
mater of UNCONVENTIONAL differences, of
creeds or forms of government AS indi-
viduals We may think as we please about
the affairs of the church or of labor, but
we cannot assume to commit our organi.
zations-either church or labor to anv
system of their peculiar province

THE PAINTERS
HAVE ORGANIZED
Tenth Bi-Annua1 Convention in
Cincinnati Closed With Good
Work by Delegates.

Alter completing their work on the
constitution, the installation of the gem
eral executive board, the convention of
the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers of America, held at
Cincinnati, has adjourned to meet again
at the call of a referendum vote of the
membership in 1911
The next place of meeting will also be
decided by referendum vote, the choice
being among Kansas City, Mo-, Rochester,
n. T., and indianapolis, Ind
one OF the matters that created n
heated debate during the closing hours
OF the convention came up in the con-
sIderation of an amendment to the con-
stitution which would have placed the an.
Polntment of assistants to the secretary
treasurer practically in the hands of the
general president, where at present all ap-
polntments are controlled by the seere-
tary-treasurer
This move was denounced by Delegate
Mccarthy, of Boston, Mass, as a political
trick, claiming that the secretarv-treas
urer was responsible for all the finances
OF the organization and that he alone
should have the power to select assistants.
The amendment was defeated.
The differences between the naner.
hangers and the organization were taken
up by the convention and clause cover
ing the matter inserted in the constitu-
ton 1t was adopted with but two dis.
senting votes. This settles a CONTROVERSY
that has been a source of WORRY for tbe
past ten years.
