II HF discomfort over the high cost OF living is
Il world wide So great is il. even in Switzer-
land that the government of that model republic
has decided 10 institute three separate investiga-
tons towards the solution of the problem
During the past few years the prices Of food
have advanced from thirty TO forty per cent,
while wages have remained stationary. Protest
meetings have been held and il has been suggest
cd that the government conduct a market selling
food products directly to the people at wholesale
rates. This is similar to the plan of Mayor Shank
Of indianapolis who recently sold a car load of
potatoes to the residents Of that city at wholesale
rates.
In other European countries there has been
much complaint about the high cost Of living the
people giving vent to their dissatisfaction by riot
ing The remedy offered by some governments
was 10 call out troops.
There is more reason for high prices in Europe
than in America, because Of the dense population
in European countries. There is a pressure Of
population on the means OF subsistence In the
United States, with our comparatively speaking
small population according to area, there should
be no pressure upon the means Of subsistence
The plain fact is that wages have not kept pace
with advancing prices The dollar is not worth
what il was a few years ago and some contend
that the present decrease in the value Of the dol.
lar is due simply to great increase in the supply
of gold.

NEW NEWS of
YESTERDAY

John p. Hale is a name forgotten
probably by all but very few Of
those who were personally familiar
with the leading minds ip public life
OF the era which closed with the ter
mination Of the civil war. To the
younger generation at this time Mr..
Hale's name has no significance what
ever Yet he was for q quarter OF q
century one of the leading figures in
our public life. He was three times
elected United States Senator from
New Hampshire. He was twice nomi-
mated by the Free-Soil party for presi-
dent, and he was United States Min
lister to Spain through the four years
of President Johnson's administra-
ton.
Hale was one Of the great anti-slay-
cry leaders Of the late forties and the
fifties OF the last century; at one time
he was the only anti-slavery advocate
with membership in the United StateS
Senate. He opposed the annexation Of
Texas on the ground that II would be
slave territory. and he alone, Of all
the Senate, refused TO vote in favor Of
the resolution rendering the thanks OF
Congress TO Generals Scott and Taylor
for their victories in the Mexican War

In his closing years, took most delight
in telling was the following:

across the state talking up the anti

as busy in behalf OF the Democratic
doctrines. We were the leaders on the
two sides of the question, and so il
was arranged that we meet in political
debate az the state capital. Pierce. OF
course. had long been known 20 New
Hampshire voters; had already
gained prominence as an anti-slavery
leader. The interest in the debate was
statewide, and the church I'm which
the debate was held was packed to suf-

uTILITIES COMMISSIONS.

GONE people are inclined to sneer at Public
- Utility Commissions. They say that such com
missions amount to nothing, that they cannot regu-
late anything and that the people of Wilmington
need expect nothing from such a commission.
If this be true, the situation in Wilmington is
different from that in other cities states which
have adopted the Public Utilities Commission sys-
rem and show no inclination to abandon it.
We fancy that there will be not only no dis
position to abandon the commission in Whining
ton, but that, the other hand, we shall soon
have commission for the entire state.
We have often mentioned the doings of the
Public Utilities Commissions in New Jersey New
York and other states. They are always busy. The
New Jersey commission has recently taken up
dispute between the railroads Of the state and
their patrons. The railroads running to Jersey
City and to Camden have refused TO sell either
single trip commutation tickets TO those cities
from points within the state but sell them 10 New
York or Philadelphia.
The commission has directed that tickets be sold
10 the two cities in New Jersey. II is a move
ment towards the simphhcation OF ticket selling,
for there is much compexity in many states about
the sale of tickets especially excursion tickets
during the summer season. The New Jersey Com
mission has certainly been of service TO the people

Joined by Charles Sumner.
Senator Hale possessed a national
reputation as a political orator He
was a man Of impressive personal ap-

speakers in the years between 1S45

of oratory came when he set out alone
in 1S45 to win his native state of New
Hampshire over TO the Anti-slavery
cause. He went TO work in the face of
an apparently invincible Democratic
majority; he addressed meetings in
all towns and villages OF the state, and
when the votes were cast he had the
satisfaction Of knowing that the leg
islature, thanks to his single-handed
battle, would be controlled by Wings
and Independent Democrats.

It takes other people longer to dress
and undress, and maybe that is why
there is but one Edison.
Nowadays it does not suffice TO dor
night and don day raiment. Dress
ing in the morning is a rite an hour
or more long. One must swing dumb
bells, and have a shower, and brush
his teeth, and gargle his throat, and
spray his nose, and rub his gums with
magnesia, and shave. and apply
witchhazel, and knead the scalp, and
use an eye-cup, and eat quinine for a
cold coming or going. and uncork lini-
ment for some local ailment.

SOCIALISM AGAIN.

TN ANOTHER column we print letter from Mr.
\ Rearick commenting on the editorial article in
The Journal regarding Socialism. We do not sec
that our view differs materially from that Of Mr.
Rearck in stating what applied Socialism would
mean
He says that at first we said that the people
would own everything and then We contradict this
by adding that City Council would own every
thing. Mr. Rearick should be a clear enough
thinker TO that there is contradiction in this
statement, for we cited City Council as merely
representative Of the people. Some central body,
City Council Or something else would have to
represent the people and therefore practically own
industry under cooperative commonwealth.
Mr. Rcariek thinks we were wrong in stating
Evening journal., 1911-10-07

that Council would declare what work a man
should perform. He proves that we are right by
showing that men would pass examinations, pre-
sumably under the direction of some controlling
body and then they would be assigned to places
for which this governing body thought they were
fitted.
Mr.. Rearick says that positions would be as
signed TO like positions in the postofice are
given out. Exactly So is this. Every citizen would
be yanked before an autocratic Socialist govern
ing body that would look him over pass upon him
and tell him what he was fitted for in their judg-
ment and assign him TO his labor. How would
every citizen in Wilmington, for instance, like 10
be summoned before our City Council and exam
ined and then told what he should do?
Mr. Rearick asks whether we should like to see
the public schools the postoffce and some SINH
lar things put back into the hands of private cur
porations. Certainly not But there is a wide
difference between some kinds of enterprise for
which public ownership is the best and other kinds
FOR which private ownership, we think is the best
Mr. Rearick wants US TO state better plan than
that of the Socialists We don't think the plan
advocated by the Socialists is better than the pres
ent system and therefore we are not advocating
