THEY INVITE BLAcKMA1LERs.

MH AYOR GAYNOR, OF New York has
III tackled the ever present problem Of the
"blackmailing" of saloon keepers in that city.
The Mayor has put the question up to District
Attorney Whitman and the latter demands that
the Mayor shall send him the facts. IF the
Mayor has evidence that blackmail has been
levied upon saloon keepers says Mr.. Whit
man. 81 would like to have him send me the
facts and will vigorously prosecute every case
of the kind that he will send to this office
The District-Attorney adds that he is amazed
to learn that the saloon keepers have been pay
ing Sz,ooo,ooo year for police protection The
District-Attorney himself should take a hand in
the investigation and not merely wait for some
else to give him all the details of violations
of the law.
But if the saloon keepers of New York are
forced to pay so huge sum for what they call
police protection are they not themselves to
blame? The saloon keepers of New York
conducting a business which the state considers
legitimate There are certain laws governing that
business. If they obey those laws, why should
they be subjected to police blackmailing!
A member Of the saloon keepers organization
in discussing the matter explained how the
practice Of paying graft to the police came about
The organization he said composed of
those who we're considered to be reputa-
BILE saloon keepers. They believed, however, that
they should be permitted to sell liquor at GER
tain times on Sundays. In other words they
think they should be permitted to violate the
law And for the permission to be law break
ers they were willing to brbe policemen. Then
came the trouble II they are "blacxmailed" it
is because they want to be-
There is no more reason why a saloon keeper
should be permitted to violate the law than any
other man
Very different from the situation in New York
is that in Wilmington with reference to saloon
keepers and the law. A tip from the court was
sufficient to close our saloons at II o'clock
at night.

ANOTHER SIDE OF THE PICTURE

n JUDGING by the statements of Mr.. James
]. Hill, the railroad magnate, and others
who have been deploring what they call the
excessive extravaganza of the people, one might
suppose that no one was saving money.
1t is gratifying therefore TO note another side
OF the picture. Simply glance at the huge sum
Of money in the savings banks of the country.
These institutions hold Ss67873s,3zo OF good
American money. This sum is more than a
third of the total savings Of the world. Con-
sidering the population of the country the hg-
ures show that the average American is better
protccted~from the rainy day than the citizen Of
any other country. They show that prudence is
still virtue with us. There are more than 49,
100000 depositors in the savings banks
In this roll Of thrift Wilmington is well rep
resented, according to the reports of our excel
lent savings institutions We are not going to
the bow vows because Of extravaganza, real or
alleged.

RECALLING A DISCREDITABLE PAST.
n UTE naturally the recalling Of the
~ days when the Democrats were in con-
troll Of the election machinery of this State, the
DAYS when the old laws in force, has stirred
some of the older residents, one of whom tells
about those troublesome times He declares
that "the political party then dominant in this
State did resort to most dsreputable dishonest
and vicious methods to disfranehise not negroes
alone, but many white citizens as well OF hlgh
character and standing in the community"
DR. Head adds that the assessors in repeated
instances of which he had personal knowledge
purposely failed for partisan advantage to place
the names Of white citizens who had voted here
for years on the assessment list. These persons
were not property owners, and were therefore
disfranchsed. The difficulties that the disfran-
chsed persons encountered in their efforts to
become qualified by having their names placed
on the lists is recalled by DIR. Head, who says
r. that his statementsc can be substantated by many
adie PsrheRe Is not the slightest doubt about
and skirt lengt this assertion. Persons who dld
c;ILc srsonal experience under the admins
SlIAS u those laws in the days that are happily
H.Ie D.:need only read the files of any of the city
Hall rI,apers to get clear understanding.
ne fact that the Democratic mouthpiece is
a,Jologizing for those discarded laws and declar-
ing that voters had fair chance to cast their
ballots gives good idea of the Democratic con-
cephon and standard of fairness. If these dis
carded laws were fair WHY then should not sim
had the power and opportunity to do so?
If they think it fair to dsfranchise men by
crooked manipulation of assessment and collec-
ton laws, it is reasonable TO presume that they
would not hesitate to return TO the old methods
il they thought they could gain an advantage by
doing.
It seems probable, therefore, that the reaction
ary element which Is in control of the Democrat
c party of the State is dissatisfied with the pres
ent election laws just as the Maryland Demo
Gratis are dissatisfied with the present laws of
that state The laws in Delaware give
voters every opportunity to cast their ballots The
ballot is free and open and our elections have
been remarkably clear Of orookedness and parti-
san advantage.
1t seems TO us that they almost as good
as we could reasonably hope to have them. 1t
is true that charges of bribery of voters have
been banded about but -s1der any other sys-
TEN there could be bribery. But bribery and
such crookedness are becoming things of the
past in Delaware. In view of recent develop
nents only a fool or a lunatic at the next cleo
ton will engage in that disreputable practice
1t is a good thing for the Republicans, from a
purely political point of view, that the subject
Of the old collection and assessment laws is
raised again. The more it is discussed and de-
Tended by the Democrats the worse the results
will be for the Democratic party i'm Delaware.
The voters of this state will not want return
OF the Democrats to power, with the probabil-
ties OF attempts at juggling of the election laws.

PAY OF FRENCH PRESIDENTS
Receives S24o,o00 Yearly, Half as Sal
airy, Half as Expenses, No Ex-
tras for Hospitality.

London. 1.-The voting of the Eng
lish kings civil list has led Mrs.
Crawford, the Paris correspondent of
Truth, to tell how French presidents
fare In the matter of expenses. A
French president receives $4,000 a
year, half as salary and half as ex-
penses, no extra allowance for hospi-
pitality being made except on excep-
tional occasions. He has no pension.
He profits by few minor perquisites
outside his salary, such as vegetables,
from what were formerly the royal
gardens at Versailles, fruits from Fon-
tainebleau, game from those state for
ests where he has shooting, and hay
for his horses from the presidential
seat at Ramboullet. The state pays
for his men servants in the stables
only but allows for the coachman,
though not for chauffeur or secre-
taries. His military and naval stats
are maintained by the war and ma
rine ministries.
Felix F'aure, when president, OBJ
tained from the parliament money FOR
building and keeping up palace
train. Railway companies, when the
president goes into the provinces of
flcially, are glad to give it-and any
extra cars he may want-the freedom
of their lines for the sake of the ex
cursion business this brings. This en-
ables the president to reserve the
$4,000 allowed for travelling ex
penses for tips to railway servants
servants at prefectureS, and for char
tiles.
The French president never gives
less than $100 to the railway EN-
ployes. His contributions to charity
funds at the hospitals he visits ant
donations to mayors for the poor are
heavy He also is expected to Sub
scribe to relief funds for victims o.
fires, floods and other disasters. Ye
French president always contrive'
to save money.
