PLANTING TREES.

a BUSINESS man of Hutchinson Kan, has
n suggested that the planting Of fruit trees
in the tree belts of the city streets shall be made
compulsory The idea is original although there
may be objections to it on the part Of persons
who would not wish their shade trees to be tar
gets for small boys bent on obtaining a plenti-
full supply of fruit.
Tree planting is an excellent thing but the
fruit trees would not be satisfactory And in
reading this item the thought occurs tina, more
trees should be planted in Delaware.
In some counties of other states the highN avs
are lined with beautiful trees and these with good
roads make those districts pretty and like parks
It is MT so very much trouble or expense to plant
trees along the highways, but the practice is
not followed to any <tent in this stl,e

Already there is speculation as to the successor
OF President Woodrow Wilson or Princeton Uni
versity, who has been nominated for Governor
by the Democrats of that State. DR.. Wilson has
Forwarded his resignation to the trustees but it
iAnot thought that they will act upon it until
af,ee he election. Certainly If DR.. Wilson should
be defeated there would be good reason why
he should not continue as president of Princeton.
His experience during rough and tumble poiti-
cal combat would make him all the more valuable
as university president But the gossip about
the successor of DR.. Wilson is perhaps based on
the assumption that he will be elected, assump-
ton that does not seem to be well founded.

The Family Ballot.

St. Paul Dispatch.
A bill will be introduced in the
Wisconsin legislature making it pos
sible for the wife of a man to cast
his ballot, if he is prevented by BUSH
ness or by sickness from approaching
the polls. The wife will arm herself
With the document which proves her
proxy powers, will be admitted to the
polling booth and Mill cast the family
ballot for those candidates agreed up
on in the family council.
It is a natural. but a remarkable in
novatiOn. The truth of the matter is
that the ballot in America is family
ballot, even those voters who think
they are rendering independent iudg-
ment at the polls are, in reality. il
unconsciously, voting as the family
mind has determined.
Such a performance will fsmiliarize
women with political processes. and
prepare them for their own enfran-
chisement. But It will also persuade
them, it must be believed of the great
er blessing Of the family ballot and
win them to work for this instead of
any further extension Of the individual
ballot as it now stands.

Editorial Opinion
Banking BIackIists.

Buffalo Express.
Addressing the national association
of supervisors of state banks, the
comptroller of the currency said he
had in his Office a list Of men who as
officers of national banks had proved
incompetent and had been removed
from Office and said that If any of
them should make application to orr
ganize state banks, their names would
be furnished TO the state banking au-
thorities. In turn. he proposed that
the state supervisors should furnish
to the nation system the names of
men who had been driven out of the
state banks. During last is months
the comptroller said he had refused
los applications to form national
banks because the men behind them
had been found incompetent or dis
honest, that there was not enough
business TO make the proposed insti-
tutiOns profitable. or that the appli-

LANDSLIDE I'M DELAWARE.

HE political atmosphere is filled with talk
n about andsdes The Democrats are con-
WINGED that their victory in Maine will be fol-
lowed by similar triumphs in other parts of the
country so that they will have large majority
in Congress. The drift they say is towards the
Democratic party Will the political situation in
Delaware be affected and will there be land
slide in Delaware? That is the question fire.
quentiy asked, but the Democratic leaders are
not very hopeful of landslide visiting Delaware.
The political workers even do not expect it,
There may be a turmoil in other states, issues
may a shifting of votes in large numbers,
but it is argued that Delaware will be oblivious
to all this and the people will line up at the
coming election Republicans and Democrats, as
they have done in the past. The insurgent move
ment it is argued by those who have not thought
of a landslide, will not make itself felt in Della
ware, for If il we're known about here why didn't
the reform ideas find some expression in the
platforms of the two political parties? Well, as
matter of fact, they did somewhat in the Re-
publican platform, which is considerably more
progressive than that of the Democrats, and if
there any Independents who looking for
the progressive party they certainly will not turn
their eyes towards the Democratic ticket.
AS evidence that Deawareans are slow to
change it is pointed out by stand-patters of both
parties that in the year of our Lord 1923 the old
Federalist party still in active opera
tion in Delaware and carried the State for its
candidate for governor by about 800 majority Sus-
sex in those days was the stronghold of the Fed
eralists. At that time the Federsst party which
was alive and thriving in Delaware, had been ma
tonally dead for some years.
In 1920 three years before the Federalist tr-
umph in the Delaware State election the only
candidates voted for for president were James
Monroe and ]. O. Adams, the latter getting one
electoral vote And both Monroe and Adams
we're classed as Republicans-that is Jehersonian
Democrats.
In 1916 the FederaliSts nationally made their
last stand in presidential election Rufus King
Federalist receiving 81 electoral votes as compar-
ed with lS3 for James Monroe.
Thus it seems that the landslides in those days
from the Federalsts did not prevent that party
from electng its gubernatoral candidate as late
as 1928.
Since the civil war there have been no great over
turns Even in 1892 when there was landslide
for Cleveland in many states his majority was
small in Delaware comparatively speaking From
that time on the Democrats declined in power
until owing chiefly to factiona ightings and d.
visions the Republicans obtained large majority
which they have practically held intact during
presidential campaigns

change their opinions, would therefore be sur

not figuring on it,
However the Republicans should be prepared

Among large circle Of friends and acquaint-
ances he has made during his residence in this
city as pastor of Grace Church, there is general
regret that the Rev. DR.. Hiram w Kellogg will
soon leave for a new and perhaps larger field
of usefulness and their prayers and we'll wishes
will go with him. DR.. Kellogg has proved him
self to be a powerful preacher and a man who
did not conhne himself in his efforts to do good
to his own church and denomination He has been
keenly alive TO the welfare of the city and state
and has made his impress here. 1t seems to us
that more men like DR.. Kellogg are needed in
Delaware at this time, and that the cause of civic
righteousness loses an able exponent with his
going away. AS a counsellor an advisor, and
friend he has proved his worth in Wilmington
The Journal expresses regrets over his coming de-
parture. We sincerely trust that he will meet
with abundant happiness and prosperity in his
new pastorate.
