effort TO have profitable session free 5om parti-
san schemes and tricks Not even the White con-
test should inspire the Republicans to retaliation
The strength of the Republican party in the State
in the past due, in a great measure, to its
correction of Democratic abominations-the old
assessment and collection laws and the like-and
the closer it sticks to the policy of giving every
man a square deal the better And in times like
these when the movement for better government
is more pronounced than ever, the Republican
members Of the General Assembly should see 70
il that no step backward is taken.

DON'T CHANGE THE LIQUOR Law.

HORTLY after the election article was
- printed in The Journal to the effect that an
effort would be made TO have the Legislature
create an Excise Commission which would grant
refuse liquor licenses in this county.
Another report is current that an attempt will
be made to place such authority in the hands of
the resident Judge Of this county.
What good reason is there for making change
at all?
Why is not the present method satisfactory
The only persons who arc desirous of having
such change arc, we believe, some politicians. If
they had their way, they would create partisan
machine to control the liquor traffic. The evils
that would or could follow a liquor licensing ma
chine without number
Unless the scheme for the change is knocked in
the head at the beginning, it may be pushed with
great persistence II so, should think that both
the saloon keepers and the AntSaloon League
would, strange as it may seem, join together in
vigorously fighting any change. The Journal be-
lieves the public is entirely satisfied with the
present method.
We are progressing towards less partisanship in
the administration of the affairs of this city, and
any change such as has been proposed in the
granting of liquor licenses would be long step
backward not TO be thought Of or tolerated.

Editorial Opinion
ma NeM Chlef Lnsiice.

Worcester. Mass, Gazette.
AT this date the appointment of AS |
sOciate Justice Edward Douglass !
White to the Chief Justiceship OF the
Supreme Court is chiefly a surprise to
Remocrats and Republicans interested
in politics.
II can readily be imagined that Re-
publicans are perhaps not pleasantly
surprised and there is no reason to
believe that Democrats are other than
happily surprisd and the more so for
the reason that they could have had
little hope of lightning striking twice
I'm the same place within so short a
time.
The wisdom of the appointment
time will show. Far be IL from lis to
says that the appointment has any pol
itics in Il. but II It has. time too, will
show what that significance is. A Re
publican President naming two Demo
Gratis in about year one to the high
est and the other TO secondary place
on the Supreme Bench. shows at least
that President Taft has the courage
of his convictions.
Our own opinion is that politics has
had little to do with either the selec-
ton of the Chief Justice or OF his as
sociates chosen to MI vacancies. More
political effect could probably have
been exercised had the President fol-
! lowed the time-honored precedent and
gone outside the court for Chief
| Justice.
In selecting MIR White the Presi-
! dent has chosen one Of the wisest and
best equipped men that the bench pos
sessed. Chief Justice White is prop
erly known as a conservative and for
that reason his choice will not find
favor with some But a little honest
conservatism in any Chief Justice will
do no harm. This is a government of
checks balances. Perhaps President
checks aud balances. Perhaps Presi-
dent Taft had that principal I'm mind
when he made the choice, deemmg
that the country at large could fur
nish all the progressive notions that
We're needed for sane and healthful
growth.
The appointment must be considered
on the whole, we think, one made i'm
broad minded fashion, of a man pos
sessing superior talents and quali-
hcations for the position given him.

JUDGE CHURCHMAN.

Id ERHAPS the chief criticism privately il not
4 openly of the appointment Of Mr.. Philip O.
Churchman to succeed Judge Hastings is that il
is political appointment and that Governor PEN
newi might have given the matter further con-
sideraton.
1t has been said that the members Of the bar
were showing little interest in the appointment
and in fact little public interest was displayed
However this may he, Mr.. Churchman had the in
dorsement of very large number of attorneys,
and they had ample time TO act IL they objected,
the governor must feel justified in naming Mr.
Churchman
There was no mystery or secrecy about it. Ever
since the announcement Of Judge HastingSs con-
templated resignation, the name Of Mr. Church
man in connection with the appointment has been
conspicuously before the people The Kent county
attorneys and those Of Sussex apparently have
shown little concern.
We see no reason why Mr., Churchman should
not make a capable and satisfactory member OF
the judiciary. Others share responsibilities with
him. During his short term as judge of the mun-
cipal court he made a very satisfactory official
and showed himself to be of judicial temper
ament The mere fact that he has off and on been
active in politics, is no reason why he should not
make good judge. Some of the best judges have
been men greatly interested in politics before they
we're elevated 10 the bench.
Judge Churchman has every kind of reason to
put forward his best efforts honored mem
Der of the Delaware judiciary. He has been gen.
erally regarded as capable and well-qualihed
LAWYER and therefore he should be fully equipped
for the important duties that will devolvc upon
him.
The Delaware judiciary, we think, has been in
the past eminenty conservative, and Judge
Churchman, we believe will do his part in main
tanning that tradition. He has an alert legal mind
and pleasing personality.

REGULATING MONOPOLIES.

R EFORE the meeting of the Republican State
~ Convention at Dover last August The Journal
urged that plank be inserted in the platform
favoring Public Utilities Commission.
At that time The Journal believed that questions
concerning public utilities of the State especially
of Wilmington. would soon come TO the front in
an impressive manner.
The Republican State convention handled the
matter in a milk-and-water fashion by urging that
the subject should be considered" by the next Leg
islature. 1t is already being considered we fancy,
by the Wilmington members OF the Legislature
The Journal would have been pleased had the
Democratic State Convention adopted a plank in
support Of Public Utilities Commission The
Democratic convention which had a streak OF its
usual conservatism, made no reference TO the sub
ject at all II devoted paragraphs however, to
dead issues
Our surmise that this question would soon he a
live ono in Delaware, in Wilmington especially,
has proved correct, for we now have before us
applications concerning its franchise by the viii
mington and Philadelphia Electric Company.
II is perhaps needless TO say that the Street and
Sewer directors should 90 very slow in consider
ing this application or any other matter that in
wolves the slightest modification of any existing
franchise held by a Public Service Company.
The Wilmington members of the Legislature
realize that they have before them a very delicate
question to handle The Street and Sewer direc-
tors in view of the near approach of the meeting
Of the Legislature should defer action on the re-
quest Of the Wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
ton Company until after the meeting of the Leg
islature.
The Journal while realizing that Public Ser
vice Commission is not perfect by any means, be-
leveS il is about the best means available for deal
ing with questions concerning public utilities best
for the people and best for the companies them
selves
All public service concerns in this State should
be regulated. The ideal form in cities is munich
pal ownership outright, but that so far as Will
mngton is concerned is impracticablc. The next
best thing, and perhaps the best under the cir
oumstances, is public regulation. Suchsregulstion
will surely be considered il We mistake not the
temper of the men who will represent this city in
the next Legislature
In the present instance Public Service Com.
mission, if we had one, could act in conjunction
with the Street and Sewer directors.

LIGHT ON puBLIC MATTERs.

HERE should be very little secrecy if any, in
H. transacting municipal business. OF course
there may be times when executive sessions Of
city body arc necessary but such times are seldom
Clinton Rogers Woodruff in his address before
the Civic Association said that ono OF the causes
Of the evils in municipal government was the lack
of publicity and the inclination to do things in
secret
We have had many instances in Wilmington Of
transacting public business in the dark. The
Mayors cabinet at one time held secret sessions.
No valid reason ever given why they should
have been or should be secret. Nothing was done
that could not have been done in the light of
publicity
Some persons have gone so far as to hold that
business done in secret should be illegal but this
would be going too far
The latest instance Of the tendency towards
secrecy is the suppression Of letter sent to Inc
Street and Sewer directors relating 10 the appli-
cation of the Wilmington and Philadelphia Irac-
tion Company concerning its franchise If such
letter, whether it contains information import
ant or unimportant is not the business of the pub
lie we do not know what is.
We do not for a moment intimate that the
Street and Sewer directors have any sinister reason
for not making public all matters pertaining ia
the franchise, but think it much better in all
such cases if communications referring to the
Franchises or any other important public matter
should promptly be given to the people.

was by the long way round by James
