REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.

! HE most significant movement of the times in
~ politics is the so-called tendency of back to
the people" The movement is finding expression in
such reform measures as direct election of Sena-
tors, the Initiative, Referendum and Recall.
Governor Wilson is one of the leaders in this
progress, and the other night he attacked what
he called the trusteeship in politics BY the trustee
ship he meant, suppose, the holding of the
power by political bosses that should be in the
hands of the people. Then representative govern
ment is attacked vigorously by some And it is
proposed to apply the recall 20 Judges and even
United States Senators.
All the attacks on representative government
have as their basis the assumption that the elected
individual is not so good in judgment as the mass
of his constituents, or if he is as good he cannot
exercise his judgment freely, but is controlled by
BOSSES
In other words, the opponents Of representative
government and the advocates of the initiative and
referendum are such. hold that the people as a
mass would do better than their representatives
1t follows that the representatives do not rep
resent the average intelligence of their constit-
uents.
In many instances this may be true, but
we doubt if any one would say that the last Della
ware Legislature for example, did not represent
the average intelligence Of their constituents
There may be some men in the communities who
are better men all round than the legislators, but
II is more than probable that the Legislators
were considerably above the average man in their
districts.

NEGLECTED THE VALUABLE CROP

W. HEARD Of a Sussex county farmer the
other day who had fine apple orchard on
MS farm. The trees we're laden with good fruit The
time came for harvesting the apples The farmer
sent his children into the orchard to pick the
apples. They shook the trees and knocked the an
pies of. The apples fell bruised and soiled 10 the
ground They were put into baskets in any old
way
The farmer at the same time sent his compet.
ent men into the field to work the grain.
The point is that the apple crop was neglected
for the grain crop, and yet apples sell for almost
fabulous prices in the cities and we're probably
worth several times as much as the grain But
the force of habit made the farmer think only Of
grain and the valuable apples we're neglected
Yet we see the fine western apples come in
under our nose. They sell for high figures. We
can grow apples in Delaware equal in every way
to those grown in other States
How energetic the fruit and vegetable growers
are becoming in Western States

street may notice the exhibit of big fruit of celery

TAXING INCOMES.

n DVOCATES of the income tax advance as
one of the reasons for such tax that il
would make people take livelier interest in the
affairs of government. If man had to pay money
directly to the government for its support, he
would be likely TO want to know what the govern
ment did with the money, where il all went TO and
whether the payer was getting returns for his
money.
If incomes as low as $500 year we're taxed, it
does seem reasonable to believe that the humble
citizen would take more interest in affairs at
Washington than he does
And is il unreasonable to think that such an in
come tax would be better than a tax on corpora
tions? Under the present law the Government
fines man for going into business, for using his
capital TO furnish employment to Others 1t would
be more just TO tax incomes

DELAWARE'S RESOURCES.

HE JOURNAL has been harping for some
\ time about Delaware and her resources aad
about what could be done in Delaware If the peo-
pie only made the effort. Perhaps il is tresome
story The Journal supposes that it is to many.
We have found however, that If newspaper
wants to accomplish anything worth while or that
it thinks is worth while it must keep hammering
away on the same point time after time, hitting
the nail on the head. Sometimes poor car
penter does, we may miss the nail and strike our
thumb, but we are going to keep hitting the nail
of Delaware progress even though we may have
TO stop and then TO bandage our thumb and
wait for the wound TO heal
We wish every one in Delaware could read the
interview The Journal printed with General I.
Coleman DUPONT last Monday The interview re-
lated to the good road, but there was more in it
than that. There are many parts in it that could
serve as texts for talks in Grange meetings, in
club meetings and the like.
We have thought that one Of the results of the
good road project would he that General DUPONT
would get into mighty close touch with Delaware
people, would give his views about the develop
ment of Delaware and that our people would con-
slider them
The Journal might say what General dupont
says and reiterate il, but perhaps, readers
would become weary of reading what The Journal
says What General DUPONT says are the words of
a captain OF industry, a successful business man
and a newcomer. According to General DUPONT:
Delawares greatest drawback is that too many
people are looking for political jobs, when if they
knew more of the real value of her (Delaware's)
resources and how TO them il would be only
duty that would make man accept political
position when he could do so much better without
one
This is the testimony of a man who mas been
active in Delaware politics, but who has retired
He thinks the opportunities for the development
OF the resources of Delaware are so great that the
chances TO earn money so plentiful, that peo-
pie should become so busy in real work that they
would shun political places
This line of reasoning carried to its logical con-
cluslon means also that Delaware Young men in
stead of going out Into the world" in other
States to make their fortunes have fortunes right
IN Delaware ready for the asking. Mr. duPonts
ideas on this are worth thinking over
