Arbitration of Labor Difficulties.

He next referred to the arbitra-
ton of labor difficulties, suggesting a
form of arbitration whereby each
party to any labor difficulty should
choose one mem Der of a board of ar
bitration and these two should select
a third, theirdecision not being COM
pulsory, but depending for results on
public sentiment. DR.. Mead believ-
ed that such legislation would inure
greatly to the benefit, not only of Ia
boring men, but of corporations and
the business world in general
He felt that it is especially incum-
bent on the republican. party to make
good the promises of the state con-
vention and said that this year there
could be no excuse for saying that
the platform was not known when
the candidates were nominated. He
asked the labOring man to stand by
the only party which can render the
assistance desired. He said in view
of the ga years record of success of
the republican party, the opportunity
of the laboring man lies in that
party. He appreciated the support of
the laboring man in the campaign for
nomination and promised that as
governor he would strive to secure
the greatest possible benefit to the
greatest number of people.

CONGRESSMAN PlumIey.

Congressman Plumley discussed
the revision of the tariff made at the
special session OF Congress last year.
He said in part: "A tariff law must
be framed in a spirit of concession
and compromise. A tariff is to be
judged by the general result. If it
permits general prosperity it has
done we'll.
In republican progress in the fu-
ture, who is to be the leader the in
surgent or the Stand-patter? Meth
er. Looking to the past we find 10y
atty and patriotism and the thoughts
of great leaders have made the ma
ton grow and given progress and
prosperity. From these sources the
republican party has gathered in the
best of liberal and conservative
thought, assimilated it, used it. Stall
Wart and Halfbreed in New York
gave up the best that each had to
the republican party. The refuse
and dross offered by both passed
away. Have we robbed the princi-
pies of the democrats of Bryan?
Only such have the republicans
adopted as seemed necessary and
good for the public welfare. They
didn't adopt 16 to 1, and neither did
the nation. Into the great central
body of republicanism has been
adopted and assimilated that which
was worthy, and so it will be now with
the insurgent and the stand-patter.
Both will yield up to the real republi-
canism the best that they have to
offer, and the republican party will
go on to continued success and
achievement"

Foster on the Republican Party.

CongT eSsman Foster said that it is
sometimes hard to tell whether we
are standing still or moving forward
This is true of politics. In the long
period during which the republican
party has been in admirable control
of government, there has been de-
velopment and progress.
I'm two years the house rules have
been so revised that bills come up for
consideration automatically and the
power of a man or a coterie over the
procedure of the house has disap
peared.
ITO Taft, the great, broad minded,
patriotic, able statesman, has now
been given the legal right to protect
the natural resources Of the nation,
and he has recently withdrawn for
the benefit of the whole people, 43,-
000,0 acres Of public land.
ITO correct railroad abuses, for
many of which the shippers and not
the railroads themselves are respon-
sible, effective legislation has been
secured Questions affecting these
abuses are very different from ordi-
nary legal questions. That cases
arising from these questions may be
rightly and promptly determined, the
Interstate commerce court has been
strengthened by recent legislation.
'"The postal savings bank has been
created. There was not so much

the immigrant who don't know
what to do with their savings. Uncle

A POTENT FACTOR.

Mr.. THOMAS S. LEWIS, secretary of the Re
l. - publican State Committee in speaking of
the recent campaign called attention to one i'm
portant inluence-the raroad-which he thinks
was exerted against the Democratic ticket 1t
was generally believed that Mr.. Willard Salisbury
would control the Legislature if the Democrats
won, and Mr.. Lewis points to the fact that the
railroad influences we're antagonistc to Mr. Sauls-
bury.
When stranger once came here to write up"
Delaware politics, local correspondent told him
to find out what the railroad company wanted and
he would be the right track towards dagnos-
ing the situation in this State.
Mr.. Salisbury has fought the railroad company
in the past. He has neither courted nor enjoyed
its favor. And naturally enough the railroad nhu-
ences did not wish to see him in control of the
Legislature.
Years ago a prominent lawyer sat in his Office
at Dover and eXerted a hypnotic influence, it would
seem, on the Delaware political situation. No matter
which party won the railroad company always
came out on top, always controlled the State
Senate. The fights in those days were often fights
between various factions of railroads.
To be sure the politicians worked shell games
on the people but behind it all the one sacred
thing-the r'ilroad inteEests-that must not be
touched. Mr. Salisbury, in years gone by, gained
the disfavor of the company. In some States his
opposition to a corporate interest of this kind
would have brought him great support from the
masses of the people On that line alone he would
have been able to win in such fight But it
does not seem to be so here.
At any rate his bitterest opponents in Keut
county especially have been the Democratic fac
tionists who have always held their confabs
within sound of the locomotive whistle. We think
the railroad Democrats" were a very potent fac
tor in the defeat of the Democratic legislative
ticket in Kent county.

cont-olled by patent held now by
the match trust. This patent will ex-
pire in five years, but In the mean
while the terms on which the trust al
lows it TO be used by Independent
manufacturers are such that the la--
ter have not generally taken advan-
tage of them. And in the meanwhile
five years remain for the wo -kers to
be exposed to the poison. The trust
demands 100000 for the rights re-
naming its property. If our chemists
cannot discover another process bv
Which to make matches at once good
and safe, it would be worth that sum
to save the workmen from five years
of danger.
Distasteful as a prohibitive tax on
matches would be, It seems the only
remedy in the ci -cumstances. This
country is a whole generation behind
Europe in the regulation of this dan
gerous trade. It should either be made
safe or be taxed out of existence.

The Wilmington Board Of Trade, no doubt,
would be pleased TO cooperate with the Dover
Board of Trade in the good roads movement or
in any other project for the progress of Delaware
The Dover committee intends TO enlist the inter-
est Of the motorists of the State in the good roads
plan. suggestion has also been made that pro-
perty owners pay part of the expense Of con-
structng the roads in front of their farms. This
plan was tried with success in making the i'm
proved streets Of Dover. Doubtless it will cause
objection in Kent but if road building is TO be
made in that way the tax should be levied at the
beginning. 1t would be unfair to build good roads
in front of some farms and then later assess other
farm owners for good roads when their turn
comes.
