WILMINGTON DEMOcRAcY RLYEN

According to The Star Democ-
racy in the City of Wilmington
is lining up for a wholesale Kill
kenny cat party scrap-in fact, a
genuine monkey and poll parrot
fight is already in progress in
the Fourth and Fifth wards,
which promises to turn those
Democratic Sections-the Fifth
is called by The Star "the banner
Democratic district of the State
over to the Republicans.
The Star in its wonted fearless
style, begins its admonition with
the following language:
GAS result of the bitter feelings en-
gendered by the mistakes of the Demo
Gratis in Council. as well as dissatisfaction
generally with the present conduct ol
party affairs in this city, there is good
reason to believe that strife within The
party will lose at least one, if not two,
hitherto Democratic representative dis
tricts this falI."
We give in full the closing
words of this plea for party har.
mony which will as usual fall
upon deaf ears:
Democratic leaders have been quick to
see the trend of sentiment, and they
have been doing their utmost to patch
up the trouble in each district. In the
Third ward, for instance, they settled the
fight for ward chairman which threatened
to disrupt the ward by forcing both ]. E.
McNabb and John E. Dolan to get out Of
the fght and consent to the selection OF
J. ]. McGoldrick. They also tried to
stem the tide of disaster in the Eleventh
ward by forcing the Board of Health to
appoint Benjamin Green an executive
officer, but the situation seems to be too
grave to be CLOSED over by any petty
concession.
"There are so many diverse elements,
all bitterly aroused by the methods by
which the fruits of last years municipal
victory we're gobbled up by one small
clique, that il seems there is little hope
to bring harmony out of the chaos into
which the party has been plunged"

A PHYSICIAN HERO GONE

Science and Medicine have
suffered 8 great loss in the death
of DR.. Koch, the German physi.
clan, most widely known as the
discoverer of tuberculin, which
though not realizing the high ex.
pectations it aroused the world
over as q cure for tuberculosis,
has been of much value in the
diagnosis of that disease espe-
cially in animals. But il has
served the yet higher purpose Of
awakening the nations of the
whole civilized world to the duty
and possibility of successfully
fighting the "Great White
Plague"
DR.. Koch in 1876 isolated the
germ Of anthrax, and made pos
sihle the eradication of that
scourge of fcattle-s service whose
commercial value is incalculable.
Five years later as result Of
studies pursued in Egypt and
India, he discovered and isolated
the comma bacillus of cholera
since named in his honor the
Koch bacillus-and recognized it

ease that even to the middle of
the last century, SO often ravaged
two hemispheres.

UNLAWFUL PUNISHMENT

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT Two weeks ago
your paper gave an account Of the sentenc.
ing to the workhouse by Squire Cox Of
10 men and boys for riding on freight
cars. You say it was "a poor use Of
magisterial discretion" it was an abuse
of such discretion, for the magistrate
therein exceeded bis authority, since the
law which he is presumed to know and
follow, only allows sentence in such
cases OF five days in the workhouse.
Those men we're charged before Justice
Cox with "riding on railroad cars without
payment of fare," under the Act of 1873,
entitled an "Act to Prevent Trespass on
Railroad Cars" Vol. IA, Chap. 416, Lave
Of Delaware. The penalty named therein
is fine Of S. or 10 days commitment.
But this statute against railroad trespass
was superseded by the statute of 1901,
Vol. %, Chap. 70, which specifically
limits the punishment for this offence, to
five days in Jail. The two laws describe
the same offence, and the enactment OF
the later law of 1901 necessarily repealed
that Of 1873. But even the old law gave
the justiCs of the peace no authority to
impose % days.
Every one comedies the magnitude Of
the tramp evil in railroad trespsssing With
its attendant thefts from cars and in.
creased facilities for the commission Of
crime; but it was clearly shown that these
men were not tramps-the officers ad
mitted as much--but persons south-bound
to the berry fields. And one regrets that
Justice Cox could not feel for those men,
guilty of no crime save that of trespase, Q
little of the sympathy he so markedly
showed in the late Kirk cigarette case,
which was the wilful preparation of a
serious offence.
have no desire to criticize the magis-
trate in this case; but not only was bis
illegal act a grave invasion Of personal
rights which the law recognizes as sacred
in the bumblest individual, but am told
the same unjust and unlawful abuse OF
their authority by justices Of the peace,
is elsewhere practiced-oae Of the leading
magistrates in Wilmington habitually
giving them 10 days and 'letting it go at
that"
The liberty of the citizen is no such
trile that magistrates, high or low, can
thus glibly "let it 20 at that" Is it too
much to ask of a magistrate clothed by
the law with such high functions as the
power to deprive man Of his liberty and
send him shackled to Jail, that he shall
knoaC the precise nature and limits OF bis
powers? Finally, while the policy of the
law most literally allows for the judicial
errors of the lower magistrates, it does
not shield them from the serious conse-
quences which acting outside their iuris-
diction may entail. For their own pro-
lection, then, it behooves the justices Of
the peace Of the State TO learn at least the
limits Of their powers when dealing with
the important question of the liberty OF
the citizen. WILLIAM E. WRIGHT.

the automobile containing six
persons turned turtle, and the
carriage with its two occupants,
was also wrecked), might have
caused the death or serious injury
of all concerned.
Out Of q mass of conflicting &C.
counts a few things seem reason
ably certain and are proper mat
ters for comment.
1.-The night was dark, the &C.
cident happening full hour be-
fore the moon rose.
2.-The fact that a big heavy
car whose center of gravity is
low, turned turtle, brake or no
brake, plainly indicates a high
speed certainly more than IL
miles an hour.
The statement in The
Smyrna Times presumably COR
rect is that the auto blew for the
team when so yards0away; if so,
had the auto been going at the
lawful rate of IL miles an hour,
no collision would or could have
occurred, no matter if the team
had made q wrong turn.
4.-There was some whiskey
saved in the wreck, at least one
bottle, ,nhence it is not violent
deduction that there was more or
less of the same article being
transported in other than bottled
form.
Finally one thing is very sure,
the law of April Goth, 1909, which
only permits under certain other
restrictions, a speed of 20 miles
an hour in the country, and IL
miles going down hill or overtak.
ing team, is very often violated
lis, in fact, pretty near dead
letter, SO generally are its provi.
sions ignored.
This new law imposes a fine
from $40 to $25 or Imprisonment
for 10 days for the first offence;
$25 to 800 or 20 days in Jail for
a second; and 500 to 5000 or
three months in Jail, for third
offence.
The law forbids any minor un.
der 16 driving an auto, but makes
no requirement of fitness in a
licensee other than his own writ
ten statement that he sis qualified
to operate q motor vehicle. ="
This is not enough to protect the
public.
The railroad company would
never think Of putting even the
locomotive of a gravel train in the
hands of a man who had only had
a years experience as a fireman
or engineer; yet a man with no
knowledge of machinery or en-.
gines or experience in using
either, may under the law buy a
car, and if he please, operate it
Is minutes thereafter.
The locomotive runs upon its
own track and the accidents
which may happen are limited in
number and character; the auto
mobile runs on the thronged
public highway where almostany
number OF accidents may happen
by reason Of new and unexpected
combinations Of circumstances.
Therefore safely to operate an
auto it should require at least
some of the skill and experience
needed to run a locomotive; there.
fore some provision evidencing
skill and fitness to drive these
whizzing road locomotives called
automobiles, should be added to
this law.
Again, the law. should require
all vehicles to carry warning
lights at night, like the auto,
front and rear and this rather
more for the protection of the
vehicle than of the auto.

Central City, Neb., Dec. PA
storm of protest against the Union Pa
cif1c railroad setting its fences 100
feet on each side of its right Of way
through the country is being raised by
the land owners. and already one Of
them. Alfred Stratman has COM
menced suit to restrain the railroad.
A gang of fence builders has been at
work in the west end of the county,
gradually working this way. They
are now within about three miles west
of Central City. Here the Minter
farm is located, and all of the build
ings except the house will come with
in the proposed 100 feet, and the
fence will run to the house.
On the B1evins farm. seven miles
west, the fences were put up, but in
the night they were cut down by some
unknown parties for several hundred
feet Previous to the coming of the
railroad fence building gang Union Pa
cific Right-of-way Agent Shiveley was
in the county and offered to lease to
all those who would accept the part
of their farm to which the company
claimed title Some accepted the
proposition and some raised a stormy
protest. A few years ago Charles
Wooster of Silver Creek resisted the
movement of the railroad in this di-
rection, and tried to organize the
farmers to refuse to accept leases to
the land and to fight the matter in the
courts. He was unsuccessful, how
ever, and today a railroad fence runs
through Wooster's front yard.

SUNDAY

Local merchants have been reaping
a rich harvest as the result of sea-
son of Christmas shopping, which,
taken as a whole, has eclipsed all pre-
vious records for volume of business
transacted.
Conditions have been almost ideal.
Shopping began a week earlier than
usual, and a steady stream OF buyers
has been filing in and out or the
stores AS a result there has not
been the crush yesterday and today
that would have been experienced had
the purchasers put off their trading
until the last minute.
This does not mean that there has
not been a jam in the stores today, for'
to be sure, the clerks have had no
easy time handling the customers, and
especially this afternoon are the shop-
pers out in force. The roads are good
and the country people were partlcu-
larry in evidence.
Ali the week trains from the outly-
ing districts have been crowded with
those who live in small towns
and country communities who have
come here on account OF the advan-
tages which the stores OF the capltaI
city offer. The Office of the Rebate
association has been a busy scene as a
consequence.
one thing has been noticeable in
the holiday buying and that is that
less trash" has been bought and more

many "fiicky-jiggies' to use DR.. +. L.
LoveIand's expression.
Gains over previous years have been
recorded at individual stores. ranging
from to 80 per cent, while in FEW
instances the volume of business
transacted has fallen short Of that OF
last season.
The jewelry stores have not expert
enced the gain that they were expect
ing to enjoy, and the furniture dealers
saw that trade has been comparatively
dull. On the other hand, some of the
dry goods and clothing houses report a
big Increase in the amount of money
taken in. Here is the manner in which
some of the merchants speak of the
holiday trade:
