kicker" 1t recognizes his use
fulness and stimulates his activi-
ties. A city without ''kickers" is
either city with perfect gov
ernment and with no room for inn
provement, or it is city in which
the people are Indifferent to their
own welfare and progress is an
unknown element. The kicker"
has work to do, and if he does it
in the right spirit he is an agency
for good. But there is no place
for the "knocker." He is men
ace to every community in which
he is tolerated. He is an agency
of destruction, the mouth-piece OF
calamity and stagnation. On the
other hand, the kicker who kicks
wisely and well is often builder
a man who produces results, and
therefore an ally Of progress.

THE KICKER" AGAINST NUM-
CIPAL ABUSE ENCOURAGED
BY BOSTON

There is great gull between
the "knocker" and the kicker"
The latter is an efficient and often
an indispensable factor i'll the
maintenance Of good government.
Without the kicker there would
often be inefficient and perhaps
stagnation in municipal, State and
National administration. Abuses
would never be corrected; there
would be no progress. In the
case OF certain class of public
officials there would be fragrant
indifference to the welfare of the
community, if not open exploita-
ton of the people. The kicker"
is, therefore, a necessity-an aid
and inspiration to good govern
ment-when his activities are
prompted by public-spirited de-
sire to improve the methods of
government and to get results
which will conduce to the advan-
tage OF his fellow-citizens. Every
important and useful advance in
government has been the work of
"kickers."
The right Of the citizen to kick
against abuses in municipal adj
ministration is recognized by the
official publication of the city of
Boston, the CITY Record" In a
recent issue it advised the citizens
of the Hub how to make com
plants about ineficiency in any of
the departments of the govern
ment OF that city. 1t suggested to
them to write to the heads of de-
partments in which there was Just
ground for public complaint, and
if these officials failed to reply

RED MEMS FRATERNAL HOME

The Red Mems Fraternal Home
of Delaware is now living real
ity, and it is pleasing to know that
the Delaware tribes were the first
in the country to establish a State
institution for their aged mem
bers and their wives.
The work here accomplished is
in accord with tliat noble trait of
the Indian of5tM1forest: to care
for the old and .fesble members OF
his tribe and holrr them with that
feeling which has here been so
materially portrayed,
CHARITY AND FRIENDSHIP
We were especially pleased to
see our fellow townsman, Mr..
Rose, complimented as was his
due. The set OF resolutions COM
mending his work had a special
meaning when we learned that this
is the first time in the history of
the Order that member has
been commended for work done
during his life time. And it was
no breach OF precedent, when II is
known how Mr.. Rose worked for
the success of this home. Not
only has Ne given materially to
the foundation, but has given his
time and moral interest in the af-
fair since its inception. He has
had practically control of the re-.
pairing and beautiiying the build
ing and grounds, and while many
would have still been planning,
Mr.. Rose has gone to work and
completed the task.
This work has been not only
a help to the Order, OF which he
is a Past Great Sachem, but is
now one of Newarks institutions,
in which the whole State is inter-
ested, and toward which all OF us
may point with pride.
We may disagree with Mr.. Rose
in some other matters, but we
gladly take off our hat to
THE MAN WHO DOES
THINGS.
He has erected a monument that
will not crumble for many Suns
and when he has passed on to
the happy hunting grounds in the
land OF Podemah, his children WI,
look with pride to the Fraternal
Home OF the Improved Order oI
Red Men, the irst in Delaware
the first State home in the coun-
try, toward which their father did
so much to establish.

You claim to be trying to find

in Wednesdays issue, The rumor
is going about town that Council
met last night and in discussion
regarding the Elk River PROPOSE
ton that the superintendent tried
to force the issue by saying it had
to be decided. | understand that
Council told the officers of the
Company at the last meeting that
an answer would be given them at
the next regular meeting.
The meeting last night, be-
lieve, was special meeting to
discuss the cost of producing light
at our own plant What | want
to know is this-Did the represen-
tative of Elk River say they want
ed to accommodate Newark, if
possible, and to do so would fur
nish light at 3 cents Fer n. W.,
but il Council did not accept last
night that the7 had proposition
where they could sell it at 8 cents.
And 20 this Mr.. Jacobs replied
that he thought Council should
object on moral grounds to accept
it for 3 cents.
To live where such high ideals
enter corporation is indeed re-
velation. To furnish light for 3
cents, when it can be sold for 8
cents straight!
Millennium has come.
suppose ! will get all details
in Your issue but wanted this in
formation.
If Council shuts up otr plant or
hands it over to private corpora
ton, school election will be
pleasant dream beside what will
happen when the tax payers find
it out.
hear also that Council is to
give definite answer Wednesday
night, when they had decided 10
wait until the next regular meet
ing.
| want to say that | have not
always approved of the action OF
those who are now called leaders
but those who are holding out
against giving our plant to pri-
vate corporation will win the APP
proval of the town.
| | do not think for one moment
that they would willingly do us
harm, but they have it in their
power to wreck our plant that has
cost lots OF good money and car
hold the balance OF power.
We have entrusted the utilities
OF this town to these men, ano
though we may not always agree
with their management, we do no

GEN. BRE|NINALL
BEGINS FIGHT To-
GUST GEN SADLER
Gov. Forts Adjutant-General
Ordered to Show Cause Why
He Shouldn't Quit.

The military mix-up of the State of
New Jersey, insofar as the question as
to who is the rightful occupant of the
adjutant- chair is concerned,
will soon be settled. The perplexing
issue is being forced in the courts and
militiamen throughout the entire State
are anxiously watching the outcome.
Chief Justice William S. Gummere, of
the Supreme Court, yesterday granted
a rule to show cause why proceedings
should not forthwith be instituted by
Attorney General Edmund A. Wilson
against Adjutant- General Wilbur A.
Sadler to compel him to vacate the
exalted military position. The rule
was made returnable on Monday morn
ing. at which time Governor Fort 8
yourg military protege, General Sadler,
will be forced to show cause why he
should not quit the Office at Trenton.
The custer proceedings were insti-
tuted by former Adjutant- General r.
Heber Breintnall, through his counsel,
Robert III. McCarter, who delayed TAX
ing the severe measure until all peace
full efforts to get Sadler to relinquish
the office to Breintnall had failed. Mr..
McCarter will now prosecute the writ
to a hasty determination, he having
abandoned the plan of mandamusing
Governor Fort, as commander-in-c chief,
to remove Sadler.
Less complications, it is believed,
would arise in the custer proceedings,
as 1t does away with more prelim-
inaries and brings the issue squarely
and directly to the point in the Su-
preme Court.
Because of the enactment of the
yredenburgh age retirement military
law. Brientnall was obliged to quit
the adjutant- t-generalship. 1t has al
ways been a question as to whether
the general resigned or was forced
from the office by Governor Fort, who
was only too anxious to give the honor
berth to his intimate friend, Sadler.
Friends of General Brientnall insisted
right along that the general resigned
according to law" following the deci-
sion by the Court of Errors and APP
peals to the effect that the Vreden-
burgh act was unconstitutional.
The suit to test the validity of the
law was brought by Brigadier-General
Edward A Campbell, one time colonel
of the First Regiment. of Newark. Be-
cause of his persistency in the legal
fight he has gained the sobriquet of
Fighting Ed"
General Brientnall refused to discuss
the custer proceedings that he had
brought against General Sadler when
the subject was broached today. He
has refrained from talking about the
military and legal complications, pre-
ferring right along to refer all inter-

STR|KEBREAKERS
JAILED FOR PH|[A.
SHOOTING OF -FOUR
Police Arrest Two for Last
Nights Riots and Are
After Five More.

PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-Acting
two OF the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company's car men have beer arrested
for the Frankford shooting last night,
in which three men and a girl were
hurt, and that the police are searching
for five other men who were on the car.
The captain said the disturbance was
caused by the new men, and that the
shooting was uncalled for.
The Rapid Transit Company, in a
statement ON the affair today, said that
for one hour prior to the shooting every
car that arrived at the Frankford barn
had all windows broken. Most of the
trouble, the company says, was expe-
rienced at Frankford avenue and Unity
street. where it is declared seven strike
breakers in uniform led the crowds in
the attack on cars. One of these men,
the company declares, has been ar
rested and warrants are out for the
others.
After the outbreak, the company says,
city detectives searched every man at
the Frankford car barn and found no
firearms on any of them. The Rapid
Transit Company says it has never
given its men permission to carry fire.

carried revolvers for self-protection.
Although Director of Public Safety
Clay still declares that the general
strike feeling is on the wane, the la
Dor leaders declare that they are stead
lily gaining ground. Many meetings of
unorganized workers are being ad-
dressed by prominent labor organizers
each day and night, and they report
many converts to the cause of trades
unionism. Many of the special dispen-
sations are being withdrawn by the
unions and it is declared 600 bakers
will join the strike today.
100000 Men Out.
Strike leaders today said they had
no reason to change their estimates
that between 12o,000 and 100000 persons
are idle as a result of the calling OF
the general strike. The city admins
tration still continues to belittle the
walk-out, Director of Public Safety
Henry Clay adhering to his estimate
that less than 20, 900 workers responded
to the strike call. The directors figures
are considered too low, as hosiery man.

The action of the Philadelphia
Hosiery Manufacturers Association in
shutting down their mills until Mon
day, with threat that if the workers
do not return on that day a shutdown
until fall will occur, @will likely be fol-
lowed by a similar move by employers
in other industries. The Hosiery Man

cent. of the local output from $50
