HAPPY AND coNTENTED7

n WRITER in a local paper complains
- about the price of gas and thinks that
the reason people submit to the alleged high
price of gas is because Wilmingtonians are all
wealthy or at least in moderately good circum-
stances. We wish they we're but we fear they
are not. The writer of the letter, however,
should think and reflect a little on affairs in
Delaware, study the last session of the Legis-
lature and find out who are the bosses of Della
ware. Certainly the people are not.
But the voters during the last few years have
shown signs of restlessness and dissatisfaction.
Some time we may get Legislature Nof men
with modern ideas who may give us a public
service commission. Had we more citizens like
the writer of the letter TO which we refer we
have doubt that conditions would be
changed.
We are conservative in Delaware, so conser-
vative that it is already assumed in Washing
ton that Delaware will be against the income
vast majority of the people of the State would
favor the income tax amendment. but it IS not
the people but the Legislature of Delaware that
will pass upon the matter The people and the
Legislature are different.
AS we have said we are strictly conservative
from generation to generation and conservatism
OF course, means that in this day the public SER
vice corporations and the men with axes to
grind shall rule. And further this means that
we are a sort of province ruled from Broad
Street Station, from Reading where one King
holds court, and from other outside "centers Of
finance" And here we have a large following
of courtiers and testers and all that sort OF
thing. But it is really encouraging and jarring

Exceptional
Equipment

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments Of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, in all of its
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen.
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
A knowledge of the above facts enables
one to decline limitations or TO return them
if, upon viewing the package, the full name
Of the California Fig syrupCo. is not found
printed on the front thereof.

w plan to oust Councilman Rash and to
put City Treasurer Ross out of the office he
holds? A modern thaumaturgist could not sur
round his wonder working with more secrecy
than the lawyers for the CLUSTERS and the Demo

A charge is made that a certain number of
men voted illegally in the Fourth district of the
Second ward Counsel for Mr.. Rash asks for

he can make proper defense, but he is voted
down in Council. Evidently Council does not
want to give Mr.. Rash a fair show. 1t does not
wish to find out whether he can make a rea-
sonabe defense or not.
Has the jury in the case-the majority OF
Counci-been consulting with the attorneys for
the prosecution and have they been working to-

avenue and Eighth street lines and a ten

Mr. Hof says that this is done be-
cause Industrial conditions appear to
