HUMPING THE FENCES.

a MoNG our local politicians there is COM
plant that members Of one partysvote at
the primaries of the other party. 1t is said that
many Democrats refraned from taking a hand in
their own party primaries OH Saturday in order
that they might interfere IN the Republican pri-
mares.
1t seems to us that il would be proper TO have
the primaries of both parties held on the same day
and with the same officers. This would be fair all
round, and might do much TO remedy the evils
that have caused objection
The primary system, which we have had in part
in Delaware for many years, has come to stay and
II will be extended 1t will not be many years
before both parties in Delaware will have state
wide direct primaries as they have in Maryland in
which State the parties hold their primary cleo
tons on the same day.
1t seems to us that at the Republican primaries
for the nomination of county officers all Democrats
should be sworn TO support the successful nomi-
nees. Certainly the nominations should be made
by the voting members of the respective parties

President Taft's address The latter left the ques-

Most of the representatives OF the interests

that would be easier TO control the State legis-

Disheartening news for fish eaters
comes from the Atlantic and the Pa

Before the pure food law was enacted

article.
The announcement that the Alas
kan salmon pack is below normal is
a more serious matter. We are heavy
importers of sardines, but not Of sal
mon. We are exporters of the last
named fish. The reported falling of
in the catch suggests the inquiry
whether enough Is being done for
the conservation of caluable food
fish. We know that some rivers
south of Puget Sound which once
swarmed with salmon furnish few
now, largely because of the reckless
and wasteful methods of the GAMERS

CLEAN MEAT.

a LKBADY il is feared by those who wish the
Board of Health we'll in its efforts to inn
prove the sanitary condition of the city and TO
promote cleanliness in food offered for sale that
the attacks made upon the members will result in
a lessenng Of the proper discipline of the depart
ment and make it harder for the Board TO control
the garbage contractors, for example.
An assault has been made upon the authority OF
the BoarNand there is no telling where this will
end. We spoke the other day of the efforts of
certain Democratic politicians TO intmidate the
Board into letting up" in its crusade for clean
meat and we have learned that TO a large extent
these efforts have been abandoned. This is all
right.
Ii seems that the opponents of clean meat are
determined TO fight the Board and the question
has been raised as TO whether the Board has any
authority cver the city markets. II other worcs
ii is contended that the Legislature shall tell us
whether we shall be forced to purchase fly-specked
meat.
according to this view the city would have no
power or authority over its own markets and the
question Of home rule for Wilmington enters into
it,
If the view Of the counsel for the farmers
is sustained, we presume whether We
shall have clean food depends upon the whims Of
