TUESDAY. JULY Is. 1911
me- TRnLLEY TROIIRLE.

TT IS gratifying 10 note that several organiza-
4 tions as we'll as committees Of citizens are
trying TO unraye the tangle between the New
Castle Trolley Company and the owners of the
Deiaavrc City line
their sole purpose is to save the Delaware City
ROAD to the use of the people II is TO be hoped
that the parties directly interested will follow the
suggestions Of the committees and have their rep
resentatives talk things over.
Certainly il would be a severe blow, not only
to the residents along the route Of the Delaware
City line, but also to this city itself If the Della
ware City road should be dismantled 1t would
be a long step backward, and it would not be
creditable to New Castle county 10 have II said
that a trolley line in one of the best parts OF
the county had to be abandoned
At the same time it is fair that the owners Of
the Delaware City line should receive a reason
able price for their property, and the New Castle
Company should be prepared TO pay the figure
The mudde illustrates one Of the disadvantages
Of having a continuous railway line owned by diff.
ferent persons.
great interest has been aroused in tho matter
for il &a very important one TO the residents Of
Z Delaware City and TO those who live along the
line between New Castle and Delaware City No
wonder they are doing everything in their power
10 adjust the difficulty. II would be hard on them
10 be deprived Of the transportation facilities that
they have enjoyed
There should be some way to bring about an
adjustment The community has granted the two
companies franchises, and If il is possible TO do so,
they should be compelled TO operate the line con
tnuousy
If the Delaware City road unfortunately should
be abandoned, no more franchises should be grant
ed to trolley companies in Delaware unless there
is inserted a strict provision that road, if built
must be operated

UTILITIEs COMMISSION.

THE Mayor is expected soon to appoint
4 members Of the Public Utilities Commission.
and quite naturally there is considerable interest
IN the matter The conduct of the commission will
be watched by the remainder Of the state as we'll
as by Wilmington, and if the plan works success
fully here, it will probably be adopted for the
state.
The scheme Of the Public Utilities Commission
IS SO far the best for the purpose that has been
devised by students of municipal problems II
has the cordial support of many officials of public
service corporations, among its warmest advocates
being the President Of the Bell Telephone Com
pany.
The commissioners in Wilmington under the
law will have considerable power They have for
example, authority TO approve or dsapprove Of
applications for franchises for public utilities This
one provision alone makes it highly important that
careful and fair-mnded men shall be commission
ers If commissioners should be named who were
opposed to the granting OF any additional fran
chises, and at the same time did not make the
local public service corporations toe the mark they
would be Of little use
Unfortunately the law requires that one com
missioner shall be appointed from each legislative
district This was unwse provision inserted
because of the old district method OF our NUM-
cipal politics It will be no easy task for the
Mayor 70 make satisfactory appointments spread
among the districts
Various names have been suggested as possible
commissioners. We trust that the list of names
printed in The Star is not the entire list from
which the commissioners will be appointed Some

One day an old farmer borrowed Al
mule from his neighbor After mel
had finished his work ne sent his
l4-year-old boy TO take it home. The
boy had gone about half mile when
the mule stopped and positively re-
FUSED TO go any further After the
boy had almost pulled his arms off
trying to get him to go an old doctor
came along and asked. why. nv
son, what is the matter with your
muller"
Why, sir, can't you see. he has
balkedi" cried the boy.
Well" said the cid man, opening
his case and taking out a bottle la
belled carbolic acid, well see what
We can do for him." and he poured
some Of the acid on the mules back.
and in much less time than il takes to
write it the mule was galloping down
the road 81 rate he had never gone
before.
The boy looked I'D in surprise and
said Doctor. have you got any
more Of that STUFF"
Yes" answered the man.
Well, doctor, are you sure you have
got whole lot more Of it," he asekd.
Il think ] have plenty What did
you want to know for7" he asked
with a smile
We'll, ] wish you would pour some
on me, doctor, for I've got to catch

Editorial Opinion
Good Ronds work.

Good Roads Work.
Patterson, n. j.. News.
In the building of good roads there
appears 10 be no end, and the work
is going on we'll throughout the coun-
try, million of dollars being expended
ed annually. II is stated that last
year some OF the State expenditures
for permanent roads were: New York,
IS, 100000; Texas. 100000; Georgia.
100000; West Virginia S1,150, 600
Virginia, $4,000: North Carolina,
100000 In press story sent from
San Antonio it Is set forth that the
Lone Star state this year is planning
to spend S15,0O0,000 in road work"
and that Texas has spent more money
on such permanent work than all tho
other Southern states combined. Per-
haps this fact may account for tho
wonderful growth Of Texas in point
OF population and the general pro-
gress being made there In the way OF
building new towns and spreading out
in other directions.
Thus Texas is really doing greater
work IN road building than any of the
older states in the north The ex-
penditure for each square mile last
year was S26. New Yorks outlay
for each square mile was about S162.
When A. comes 10 Delaawre. how
ever we find that this state has no
reason TO feel ashamed of what Il is
doing in the way Of expenditures for
roads According to the report of
the auditors for New Castle county It
is found that the amount charged to
good roads for the year ending June
90, 1910, was $17,614 Assuming that
New Castle county contains one-third
of the area OF the Saskatchewan
really only about one-fourth of the
area-it is found that the average ex-
penditure per square mile was s26.
Estimating this country as only one
fourth OF the state the expenditure
per SQUARE mile was sS4 That is do
ing very we'll The figures do not
take into consideration the building
Of roads in Kent and Sussex counties,
where practically nothing Is done ia
that direction.
This showing for New Castle county
is certainly creditabie TO the state,
and Texas, with its boosted expendi-
ture, does not do as much One adj
vantage Delaware has-at least so
far as the construction Of roads Ia
New Castle county goes-is the short
haul for the stone required on the
roads. With the building Of the new
DUPONT road. which will go TO the
general credit of the state, It will be
found, when that work gets well
under way, that Delaware will give
most Of the states a close push in
point Of expenditure per square mile.
But no other state in the union has
the distinction Of being offered a
highway one hundred miles long as
the gift Of one public-spirited citi-
zen

BRYAN STILL ON nEcK

IT II Democrats of Douglass county, Nebraska.
Il in which Omaha is located, the other night
practically read Mr. Bryan out OF the party They
adopted resolutions condemning him for boiling
the last state ticket Only three delegates out Of
600 failed TO support the resolution.
The denunciation OF Mr., Brayan has about as
much effect upon him as pouring water on the back
OF duck. The Colonel responded by publishing
q succession OF questions which he desires every
Democratic asprant for the presidential nomina-
ton TO answer II looks as if Mr. Woodrow Wilson
would be able 10 answer most of them satisfac-
torily to Mr. Bryan
The Nebraska Democrats show the wide breach
between Mr.. Bryan and his former associates by
commencing Governor Hartman Of Ohio as their
choice for President Mr.. Hartman represents the
conservative wing Of the Democratic party
Mr. Bryan will keep the Democrats on pins and
needles until the next convention. One-third of
the delegates TO national Democratic convention
can hold up presidential nomination Mr. BRYAN
therefore does not have 10 be very strong TO bslk

EQuAL sUFFRAGE.
IT HERE is no let-up in the campaign for
4 suffrage for women. No one in part

IT HERE is no let-up in the campaign for equal
4 suffrage for women. No one in particular
seems to be violently opposing equal suffrage, and
its ardent advocates working for il with as
much enthusiasm as ever
a womans suffrage bill was defeated in the
New York State Senate the other day by the close
vote of y TO 49, and this encourages its advo-
Gates.
Several months ago elections in many western
states brought women into Office and in the state
of Washington where the ballot was won for wo-
men at the last election, members OF the fair sex
now eligible for jury duty Women, however,
may claim exemption on the ground of their sex,
but it is said they have no intention of doing so
campaign has started in Spokane TO bring
about the election of two women as members of
Spokanes delegation of FIVE Senators and ten
Representatives in the next Legislature The State
Federation of women's Clubs has voted TO name
candidates for the Legislature in various parts of
Washington.
Some critics, however, in looking at the entire
question will ask whether government in the west
ern states has been improved because of women S
suffrage. The control of Guggenheim in Colo
RADIO and the general reputation Of Colorado poll
tics does not in this instance at least answer the
question in the affirmative.

that foreigners living in this country send TO their
old homes across the sea Our country is drained
yearly of vast amounts of money, and the sums do
not appear in the statements of the so-called bal

that idea in mind savings banks were established

Aldermen Ellis, Horner, Little and

TO start a movement for a city hos

probably not ever been taken MP here
because the Barry Hospital has for
thirty years been taking as much Of
this responsibility as an institution
Of its limited means and capacity

II is the idea Of some of these
Younger members Of Use city council
that a city hospital could be main
tanned at about what the city now
gives out in charity. and that while
the institution woHld attempt. as II
could not do, to make invitation to
the worlds poor and afflicted to come
for care. yet 1t would place the city
in a position to take charge of tle
cases which Of necessity 1t must
care. without any added cost.
ut is also the opinion Of many that
a city Institution of this kind, con
trolled by the municipality. would
receive more generous support from
outside institutions and from non

institution could hope to receive.

It is reported that Senator Jeff Davis

formerly in doubt as to the matter,
then decided that he would not court
the criticism Of the strenuous jeff,
so he fixed his opposition in sigma
