EXPRESS COMPANIES.

HE Hepburn law which was enacted four
= years ago placed the express companies of
the country under the same regulations to which
the railroads subjected. But for some reason,
probably because the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been busy with other work, nothing
has been done TO relieve the shippers of the high
charges made by these companies for their
vices But the question of express rates is be-
ing taken up in various cities. Business men
and shippers do not intend to permit the matter
to drop.
Attorneys representing l24 commercial organ-
cations in large cities have demanded that the In
ter-State Commerce Commission shall make a
thorough investigation of express rates. The ex-
press business is really so intimately connected
with the railroad business that it should receive
the attention of the overworked commission. For
some years the express magnates have kept out of
publicity. With unusual wisdom they have not
thrust themselves before the people. They have
sary to prevent legislation which they considered
hostile.
They have accumulated and secured for them
selves excessive profits without the public paying
much attention to them. All efforts for parcels
post system, which would be a means of relief
from the high charges of express companies have
been successfully blocked
The task of regulating the express companies
will prove difficult. The Springfield, Mass, Re-
publican, however, has made a suggestion that the
railroad companies be forced TO take over the
express business and manage il. There seems
to be no good reason why the railroad companies
should farm out this branch of their work 1t
may be taken as certain that the express compan-
les will not be able TO hide under cover much long
err. Their day of reckoning is not far distant

AKRON TEACHES A LESSON.

USI how city can make progress and in
crease IN population by means of an inn
portant industry is shown by the experience of
Akron, o. Long before the days of the automo-
bile Akron was progressive town The manu-
facture of matches and other things helped il
along. But the coming of the motor car with its
air-cushoned wheels has caused the Ohio city 10
60 forward by leaps and bounds, and it is all be-
cause of the rubber industries which have To-
Gated there.
Many automobile tires are made in Akron. Dur
ing the last ten years Akron has gained in popula-
ton Clio per cent, remarkable increase Few
cities can hold that pace. In the ten years from
1890 to 1900 the increase in the population of the
tire city vas 1927, which was gain of 54.4 per
cent During the last ten years even these high
figures we're exceeded. The actual growth in pop
ulation during the decade has been almost double
what 1t was in the previous ten years.
The growth of Akron remarkable as it is, is a
lesson to other places The Ohio city, for in
stance II would seem, has natural advantages for
manufacturing not nearly so great those OF
Wilmington. This city with its water communi-
-tsss7<with three railroad companies connecting il
with the outside world, with a rich agricultural
region at its very doors, with mechanics at least
the equal of those in any other city, should be an
ideal place for manufacturing of almost every
kind.
But the growth and progressiveness of a city de-
ponds upon its residents.
Even natural advantages will not bring man
ufacturers here. The city must 60 after them
and must offer inducements 10 bring manufactur-
ers here. AS we have said the increase in our pop
ulation has been disappointing to Wilmington The
comparatively speaking small increase leads to
suspicion that some errors must have been made
in euumerating population But there is no
use in crying over spilled milk. We should re-
solve TO work more energetcally for the advance
ment of Wilmington and to make the outside
world believe that we have the advantages for
manufacturers which we all know that Whining
ton possesses.

HORRORS.

+ VEN the English language does not contain
~ words adequate enough to express the
horror and indignation felt by the local evening
organ of monopoly at the thought OF dis
gruntled" newspapers having the audacity to sug-
gest that a public service commission to regulate
public utilities in Delaware should be consid-
cred.
The battle for free and unrestricted monopoly is
TO be fought with Latin quotations and the backs
Of dictionaries. The services of a battalion of
young graduates who can conjugate "damno" will
probably be enlisted, and shall have a classical
and soul stirring contest Perhaps we shall have
chorus of Latin hymns to the tune of the noise
of our rafting street cars.
Really il is too bad that "disgrunted" news
papers should suddenly take up the subject Of
public service commission. But so far as The
Journal is concerned it some time ago advo-
Gated such a commission long before there
any knowledge of the street railway and electric
lighting deal and before even whispers had float
ed around Wilmington that the old telephone
company was going to standardze all OF us.
But even if this were not so, there would be no
valid objection to the discussion of the question
at this time 1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of the people by the trolley merger and the
Standardization stunt" And if there has not
been the agitation the question here as there
has been in other states, that would mean that we
are triHe slower That is all.
To say that interest in the question throughout
the country is the outcome of the agitation of
"disgrunted" newspapers and politicians is ride
ulous. Years ago group OF American writer's
ION economics began the consideration of the re-
ations between the public and the monopolistic
public service corporations. Most of them ia
vor municipal OF state ownership of these mo-
nopolies. Another group is for having the state
or city regulate such utilities All believe that
competition between public service utilities is
Impractical and they think that public reguls-
ton is therefore better course.
Why should there be any public oversight? Sim
ply because the relation of the public service
corporations with the people is peculiar These
corporations are monopolistic different from ordi-
nary enterprises They eajoy franchises which
are constantly Increasing in value through no
effort OF their holders and for which in nine cases
out Of ten they pay inadequateIy.

A LARGE QUESTION.
w

w E presume that the only possible excuse
w that can be given for the great public in
terest and concern felt over the fact that Former
Congressman L. Irving Handy got rid of his lux
uriant moustache is that Mr.. Handy is so we'll
known and so large figure in the affairs of Del
aware that whatever he does is felt to be of con-
siderable public moment
1t seems TO be clear that discussion has been
going on and wagers have been made as TO the
reason why Mr.. Handy decided TO change his con-
tour People in the lower counties they enjoy
their corn and lima beans and peaches and other
fruit and their mosquitoes have undoubtedly
grayely debated the question of whether the Mr.
Handy of old will come back Those who liked
the Mr.. Handy of old must be rejoced to learn
that the harvesting of Mr. HandyS moustache
was merely for the summer season, for he tells us
that il went on a vacation, and that il will be back
when the campaign opens.
There are some who liked Mr. Handy with the
moustache better than they like him without it,
But we admit that not of that class. We
prefer the new and reuvenated Mr.. Handy.
We fear that Mr.. Handy has decided to
promise as TO please all his friends and at the
next Democratic Convention he will appear with
a short and stubby appendage on the upper lip.
If he we're not good natured he would grab all
these impertinent fellows who, during the silly
season, have been commenting on his personal ap-
pearance, and sit on them after the Big Bill Ed
wards fashion

Editorial Opinion

The Crux of the Labor Problem.
New York American.
I'm all the industrial disputes that
figure in the news of the day the issue
turns upon the recognition of the labor
union and the vindication of the union
principle.
In the carmen's strike now paralyz-
ing the commercial lie Of Columbus.
Ohio; in the Boston engravers' strike.
with its sharp legal controversy over
Judge Richardson's Injunction, as well
as i'm the controversies from which
this city is suffering, the bottom ques-
ton is the same.
The difficulty is to make the prin-
ciple of union, for which organized
labor is contending, work in double
harness with the principle of liberty
or the right of private initiative, for
which the employers stand.
Daniel Webster said that liberty and
union are now and forever one and
inseparable."
But they have somehow got them
selves separated in modern business
and the task of the age is to bring
them together again I'm that field.
The pressing obligations of courts
and legislatures is to keep the contra
diction from becoming insoluble-until
a permanent solution can be found
and agreed upon by the sensible men
of both sides.
To this end the rights of the public
must be constantly upheld above the
rights ofgthe contending classes-and
the struggle must be kept as free as
possible from malignant conspiracy
and yioleuce.
So long as the fight is on both par
ties must fight fair.
Both the boycott and the blacklist
are unfair and intolerable.
The news comes from Kiel, in Ger.
many, that certain great shipbuildins
firms there have entered into an agree.
ment to lock out" all their employees
unless the striking workmen OF one
Of the firms consent to go back t.
work, on their employers terms, to-
morrow.
Such conspiracies on the part of or.
gained capital are, of course, as de-
structive of social unity and peace as
any boycott that has ever been con
ceiyed by organized labor

OF course opposition to any suggestion of
public service commission TO be expected from
the source that il has come from, and before the
struggle is over there will be great opposi-
ton.
Maryland recently adopted the public service
commission idea, the question is under considera-
ton in other states and il will be in Delaware
TwaddIe about "disgrunted" newspapers is the

Making Faces.

New York Evening Mail
Does the fact that a man, volunta-
rily or involuntarily, makes faces in
church, constitute a sufficient reason
for excluding him from a house Of
worship? That is the rather novel
question which Judge Prather, of Kan
sas City, Kan. is called upon to decide.
II came about in this way; Mr. VIII
liam V. Jones behaved all right while
attending services Pin the Armondale
Baptist church except that his coun-
tenance lacked composure. In a word,
Mr.. Jones was constantly making
faces, wherefore the deacons of the
church have petitioned the court for a
writ of injunction restraining him
from attending services on the ground
