Astonishing fortitude has been dis played by the girl strikers, particular ly, whose incomes, never large, were not sufficient to provide any re- sources for such an emergency. A condition approaching starvation of these has been growing daily worse for two weeks. The fact that con- tinuance of the struggle is practically due to misunderstanding makes such pitiful conditions doubly pitiful. The city clubs and citizens commit

 The garment manufacturers of Ch'- cago will lose heavily when spring finds them short of stock and those of New York will be gathers. The con- ditions which impelled the strike, however, were such as to enlist the sympathy of women and business men who do not ordinarily sympathize with the purpose or methods of strikes.

school boy knows that in this day
there is no candidate nominated for
the legislature who is not a friend OF
some senatorial candidate and nomin-
ated for that reason alone. Often such
a candidate has no sort of fitness for
the position and his sole qualification
is his willingness to wear the collar
of some man. Under these circum-
stances, deplorahle it is true, II does
not do to stand idly by, but every
man who takes an interest in public
affairs is compelled to work for his
choice. or at least against the selec-
tion of owned men. We heartily wish
conditions justified one in relying on
the voters Of party TO meet at pri-
mary elections and select as candi-
dates the very best men among them
and leave such men to solve the prob
lem of the selection of a senator. But
when candidates for senator are busy
in and out of season trying to set up
candidates for the legislature, It does
not seem to US amiss that Democratic
newspapers advise Democrats that the
party's best interests demand the Sc
lection of a man like ex-Chancellor
Nicholson, and that in the nomina-
ton of candidates for legislature this
fact be kept in mind"
First, here we have this leading
Democratic paper admitting frankly
our oft repeated contention that every
Democratic candidate for the Legis-
lature will be Labeled with the name
Of Senatorial candidate" and then
we have its advice to its Democratic
readers to work for men who will
pledge themselves to a certain Demo-
cratic candidate.
The knife is out and the fight is on.
Now watch for the wire pulling.

PARCELS POST.

In an interesting editorial article the Milford
Il Chronicle considers the question of a par
GELS post system as affording a means of relief
from the excessive charges of the express COM
panies The Chronicle points out how the bank
ing interests fought the establishment Of the pos
tai savings banks, but even with all their pow
er and influence they we're not able TO stop the
enactment of a law providing for government
banks.
The Milford newspaper truly adds that there
is little interest in such banks in some parts OF
the country Delaware for example because many
sections have sound financial institutions in
which the money of the people is as safe as il
would be in government bank. But there are
other regions which have not adequate banking
facilities and in these districts the postal banks
will be a boon. Give and take is the proper thing
in legislation.
Regarding the parcels post the Chronicle de-
clares the peogie oil Delaware have deep inter
est OF Course the express companies would
fight pSTcels post, for they have monopoly OF
that -kfndi OF business and the enormous profits
-f6ev make is a stirring incentive to them not TO
pernit any parcels post system to Interfere. And
as the Chronicle says, the agents Of the express
companies have cleverly used the argument that
we should not have parcels post because it would
ruin the business of the country merchant. We
have heard that argument persistently urged.
The Chronicle recalls that when the rural mail
delivery system was established merchants IN
small towns thought that it spelled disaster for
them but il has proved great convenience, and
means of increasing business. The same thing,
the Chronicle thinks. would happen with the par
cells post.
However that may be- the sentiment will grow
in favor of parcels post system and il will
not be very long before the people of this
country will enjoy the privileges that residents
in other nations have had for years

most lOyable OF men, once said 70

many years a vice-president OF the

ties. he was a man of great hrmness
when once he was convinced that he
was right In any matter, though his
apparently gentle methods Of insist
ing upon recognition of his preroga-
/ tives often led even persons who knew
him fairly we'll to misjudge his char
acter in this respect. The little story
l am going to relate to you is a case
in point.
when Mr.. Vanderbilt succeeded his
father as directing authority of the
New York Central system, intimate
relations had been maintained for
years beween the Vanderbilt family
and one of the older trust institu-
tions of New York. This intimacy
dated back to the days of the Commo-
dore himself, and Cornelius Wander
bilt, as the head of the family, encour-
aged and maintained 1t. Imagine his
surprise, therefore, when the late
Edward King, president of the institu-
ton, said TO Mr.. Vanderbilt one day
that he was anxious that a gentle.
man of high financial standing with
\ whom il was generally known thai
Mr.. Vanderbilt was not on friendly
terms, should be elected to fiji a va.
cancy in the board of directors Of tn,
trust company. No other name coulC
have been more distasteful TO Mr.. Van
derbilt; still, In his characteristicalll
gentle manner, he ventured to protes
against the selection of Mr.. Wilson.
"'lt is my view he said. that II
the directorate of an important bank
ing institution such as ours is therl
should be as far as possible complete

ii we were compelled to meet in a di-
rectors meeting.
Now you would suppose, wouldn't
you" continued Mr.. Clarke, that a
plea of that kind would have been
sufficient to cause Mr.. King TO change
his mind about wanting Mr.. Wilson on
the board Of directors? But is wasn't;
Mr.. King was 'sot' on having his own
way, Mr.. Wilson was elected a direc-
tor, and because Mr.. Vanderbilt made
no further complaint of any sort, Mr..
King speedily became convinced that
Mr.. Vanderbilt had become roconciled
to the gentleman Of high financial
standings" election, to Mr.. Kings in
ward satisfaction.
But how gravely mistaken Mr..
King was in his estimate of Mr. Van
derbilt's character was made ploin to
US who knew Cornelius Vanderbilt
and his ways well when. following the
reading Of his will after his death in
1899. it was discovered that by a codi-
Gil he had transferred a most impor-
tant trust, which he had at first estab-
lished with Mr.. Kings company, to the
strongest rival of that institution.
There was no comment. no explana-
tion-nor did we who knew of Mr..
Kings disregard of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
gentle protest need any to tell US why
Mr.. Kings company had lost the di-
rection of one of the most valuable
trusts ever created,

ELECTION OF sENATORs.

a MONG the Democratic leaders there is con-
siderable opposition TO any scheme to take
vote TO express the choice of the party for
United States Senator at primary. There are
legal objections and it is said that no method
could be got up which would be regarded as sat
lstactory without change of the party rules. 1t
is therefore unlikely that the convention will pro-
vide such plan, but it may be that the con-
vention will take steps for primary in the flu
fure and in doing so il would heed the demands
of many voters. In both political parties the SEN
timent is increasing that the voters should have
some means of making known their choice for
United States Senator.
What has called the subject to our mind at
this time is the announcement that Former Gov
ernor Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey, who is
a Republican aspirant for Senator TO succeed
Senator Kean whose term will soon expire. has is
sued challenge to Senator Kean 10 give the
Evening journal., 1910-08-15

voters an opportunity to say who is their choice
for Senator, but Senator Kean refuses to enter
into any plebiscite of this kind. He has many
objections to so doing, objections such are
heard among the Democrats of Delaware.
Mr.. Kean has not been a striking figure in the
Senate. Probably he knows that Former Gov
ernor Murphy would defeat him by large ma
porty in test before the people. But the chal-
lenge of Mr.. Murphy shows how rapidly the SEN
timent for a public expression to the choice
of a Senator is growing in states which are sup
posed to be conservative and not given to taking
up new ideas in politics

HOM is IT?

R FADING the figures of the assessment Of the
N properties purchased by the city for play
grounds and noticing the price paid by the city for
these properties must have surprised persons not
familiar with the subject The Journal from time
to time. has spoken Of the inequalities of our
sessment and the figures published bring home the
fact that our government is inefficient and often
unjust in its operations.
How il is possible for the city to value the pro-
pcrty OF Mr. Ford when assessed for city taxation
purposes at one-half Of what it values il when
lhe city purchases that property? According TO
the statement Of Mr.. Jerome B. Bell, Mr.. Ford
really valued his property at $4,000, but the city
had assessed il at one-third of its value as est-
mated By its owner
The county valuation brings out a condition that
ridiculous and preposterous. The county assess
ment Of the property is $3.50 and the city pays
$4,000 for IL. The county assessment is usually
not so high by considerable that Of the city,
but in this instance IL is clearly up to the county
officials 10 explain this assessment. Either the
city paid Mr.. Ford an excessive price for his pro-
perty or those responsible for the assessment fig
ures have failed TO perform their duties properly
Then there is curious twist in figures. The
county assessment on the Gibson properties is
$4,000 and the city assessment $500. The city
pays $4,000 for the properties The city either
paid an excessive figure for these properties OF
the city assessment is entirely too low.
Are the assessments on these properties a fair
example of how our taxes are levied?
