GOLF AND DEcADENcE.

a WRITER in the London Outlook COM
planning that England-has not made the
progress that it should make puts the blame
upon golf. lie declares that the absorption Of
so many men of influence and education in the
unceasing pursuit of the golf-ball has made the
way easy for Radicals and Socialists who find
time to concentrate their attention on public ques-
tions. The London writer says there is no
cause more responsible for national decadence
than the golf craze, though probably the bridge
whist craze runs it close.
This is one writer's view, but it does not by
any means follow that the men of education and
Influence would devote more time to public ques-
tions il there were no golf They would find
some other amusement as many of them do.
The truth seems to be that most men are
averse to devoting their leisure hours to public
matters-they don't want to be disturbed by
them. Golf is merely one kind of recreation
and this is the day in which recreation forms
large share in the lives of people. Referring to
golf might as well say that political things
would be better in Wilmington if the posse of
citizens who devote Sunday to canal fishing
spent that time discussing the tax rate or the
high price of cheese.
True there is a craze for bridge whist and the
suffragettc leaders might declare that the bridge
craze has interfercd with their movement to
bring about a millennium through equal suffrage.
But their complaints will not stop bridge.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.

TAT E have heard nothing recently of improve
w ments contemplated along the Delaware
railroad. For some days there was a furious news
paper agitation in Dover over new station.
Other towns Milford among them, have been
clamoring for Improvements, and there we're
rumors that if a certain plan involving the lease
OF the Delaware Railroad Company should go
into effect, large sums would be spent for inn
provements The company<of course, has not
yet had time to begin the betterments which
rumor says it is TO make, but it would be we'll
for the residents of the Delaware towns to keep
interested in the matter
Certainly the Delaware Railroad Company
in view OF the enormous profits it earns, can well
afford TO inaugurate an extensive campaign for
improvements Some OF its stations are little
better than i-kept barns, such as line poverty
stricken railways in the Southern states. The
people of Delaware should have the best kind
of treatment in every respect from the Delaware
Railroad Company. They will get it if they per-
sist-in making their wants known and insisting
upon them.

Lincoln said the same in his declara-

nothing but the right is popular.
Unfortunately government is not an
exact science, or some Euclid would
have fixed il for ms. and we should
not be bothered with executives. leg

be out of jobs, and there would be
none to seek political jobs There

no policemen.

EFFEcrIvE MEANS OF PROTEST.

Tor the interference of the police there was alb
solute quiet During the early morning hours,
according to the reports the streets echoed with
the tread of bodies of earnest looking men
marching from every part of the city to the

There were women also in the procession and
everything was done i'll order
The consequence was the mass meeting Of
protest was very effective, the police and troops
that had assembled to. be ready in any emer-
gency vanished as if by magic. There was no
shouting singing. The leaders had remarka-
bic control over the crowd. The entire garri-
son of Berlin was confined to the barracks all
day, but their military services were not re-
CURED In addition to the great central gather
ing OF protest twelve other meetings were held
in halls in the suburbs, but there was no dis
order. The leaders had promised the police that
there would be no disturbance and they kept
their word. The military authorities had talk
ed of refusing to grant permission TO hold the
meetings for fear of disorder.
The Radicals who are usually at odds with the
Socialists united with them iii these demonstra-

LAW FOR puBLIc CIOcKs

ing it unlawful for any person to display pub

the thanks of many persons who depend on
public clocks. Exact time would prevent a good

proposed refom would be hard to carry out in
practice.
If all the public clocks which give regulator

vision we should think that the day of general
happiness had come. Our clocks do all sorts

PREVALENCE OF PERJURY.

nj r. SAMUEL UNTERAIYER, the New
i i York lawyer, in an address before the Amer
lean Academy of Political and Social Science in
Philadelphia, the other day declared that he be-
eved the crime of perjury was committed in at
least three cases out of every FIVE tried in the
<ourts in which an issue of fact was involved
Perjury has become so common that the courts
regard it almost as a part of the inevitable ac-
compartment of a trial.
This is a remarkable statement coming as it
docs from lawyer well qualified to speak but
10 the layman it will appear as somewhat exag-
gerated
1t is held by Mr. Untermyer that the laws Of
the state Furnishing perjury are too severe, rang
ing from maximum penalty of twenty years i'm
prsonment for perjury III a criminal case and
ten years in civil case. Because of the Sc
we're penalty juries will not convict.
1t may be that there is not so much perjury
as the New York attorney thinks. Let an in
cident happen and then let dozen persons relate
that incident. Every one knows that their ac-
counts will vary widely and seem almost to-
tally different. Yet those who are relating the
story not telling wilfu falsehoods by any
means Each man may be describing a thing
