THE SOCIALIST VOTE.

~ CONSIDERABLE interest attaches TO the num-
- ber of votes TO be polled by the Socialist
party of this city today The Socialists have
a full ticket with an elaborate platform, and
they expect to make infoads on both the old par
ties. They have been organizing locals and scour-
ing the city for recruits They have been really
conducting their campaign with street corner
meetings and the distributing of literature" for
several years.
Their leaders think that their vote will reach
some 2000 but the other politicians do not give
them so high figure If the Socialists hopes are
realized they will have made a remarkable in
crease, but not so remarkable as the party has
made in other communities
The Single Tax vote after a very stirring CAM
paign, never reached so high total in Delaware
as the Socialists claim.
1t will be interesting 10 note from what sources
the Socialists gather their strength II is not
likely that the Socialists will draw very heavily
from the old Single Takers, unless the Single
Takers decide TO support the Socialists merely
as a matter of protest. The views Of the Single
Takers and the Socialists are radically different
on fundamental economic questions, but both
agree that change is desirable.
The Socialist leaders seem TO think that their
recruits will come from former members of the
old parties and not from Single Takers or men
who habitually drift from one party to another
No third party ever seems to have made much
headway in Delaware, perhaps because of the con-
servative nature of our people. They don't seem
TO run 10 third parties.
Practically all the Socialist strength in the past
has been in this city. They don't take much to
new ideas politically in the lower counties Such
counties are the buwark of conservatism, corpor-
alton rule and the like, although some of the news
papers in those counties say that things are to be
different.

THOUGHTFUL NOISY
NEIGHBORS
BY The REV. r. L. JACKSON

We are living in a noisy age
Everything that can make racket IS
everlastingly at It. Steam and cleo
trio cars, automobiles, gramophones,
pianos, vacuum cleaners, hucksters
and last but not least, small boys,
keep us we'll supplied with real noise.
Thanks TO their gratuitous contribu-
tions, we are no longer annoyed with
so much as a minutes silence. They
have kindly turned the world into a
big, buzzing, blooming bedlam and
we are so beautifully ensconced in
it that were it To go out of existence
we would be unnerved at once.
Happy are we when our neighbors,
seeing our particular bedlam in peril
from deadly interval of quiet, rush
to our aid with a generous supply of
noise. There is always an exaspera.-
ing lull about five in the morning. A
thoughtful neighbor at great personal
sacrifice will arise at that notable
hour and industriously ply his ham
mer, thereby making a ruinous ex-
cess OF sleep impossible. Just after
lunch is another dangerous hour. You
are saved the disgrace of doing OF
few minutes by your neighbor's 8
small boy Innocently desirous OF
trying the acoustic properties of out
of-doors, he PAGES in front Of your
house vigorously beating his mothers

wood stick

inclined, your neighbor's daughter
having entertained her steady, or
semi-steady, all the evening, thought
fully essays to give him a tuneful
send-off to the pace Of the latest rag
time. And once more on Sunday wher
all the family are too tired to make
any personal contributions 10 keer
your bedlam up to the proper degree
of din, the gramophone promptly nils
the breach and with fine fidelity
saueaks out vocal and instrumental
selections that gloriously round out
the racket that now fills the Lords
Day.
Thus, thanks TO your thoughtful
neighbors, you are guaranteed a big
buzzlng, blooming bedlam absolutel,
free of all irritating intervals o
quiet and concord. Your only dis
quieting thought is that some fata
day a furniture van may draw up a
their door and bear them and theil
belongings to some other part Of tn,

If this sort of surveillance is practiced such prac-
tice is an outrage. The idea of the American
Government keeping tabs on people who enter
territory controlled by it is distasteful.
We should think Mr.. Rossells statements would
have weight with the authorities at Washington
They didn't have much weight with Gar Cannon
but thank heaven the day of that apostle of the
predatory interests has passed. AS an investga-
tor Mr.. Rossell is as capable as any man the Gov
ernment could send to the islands, and he is
a private citizen his testimony should be consd-

Editorial Opinion
Railroad Service Law.
Philadelphia inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
It is a matter of general congratu-
lation that what is known as the
hours of service law for railroad en-
ployes" has been upheld This law.
which was enacted by Congress four
years ago, provides that no trainman
shall be required or allowed to remain
on duty for longer than 16 consecu-
tive hours, and also fixes the time
within which any telegraph operator
may be steadily employed. It's con-
stitutionality was challenged on the
ground that 1t applied to intrastate
commerce, over which the power of
Congress does not extend, but the
court unanimously declined to admit
the pertinence of this objection. and
the railroads will consequently be re-
quired TO comply with the mandate
of the law.
They showed little sense and did
themselves no credit in attempting to
evade it. Certainly, in view of the
nature of his duties and of how i'm
portant it is to the public that they
should be efficiently discharged, is
hours at a stretch is as much as
should be required by any man whose
activities relate to the actual running
OF the cars, and it is surprising that
the railroads should ever have under
taken to challenge such a reasonable
proposition.
The enactment of the law limiting
the hours of service was prompted
by the occurrence of an accident at
tended with much loss of life in the
vicinity of Washington, which was
shown to have been due to the ex-
haustion of an employe from over
work.

COMMISSION PLAN
OF CITY GOVERNMENT
BY George H. Dole.

Among the things that the people
must take into consideration in vot-
ing upon the new charter are the
following principles vital to an ac-
ceptable charter. It was once thought
that efficient service could be best
secured by a large body of people
Hence arose the ward system with
our multitudinous City Councilmen.
In this system three deadly enemies
of the peoples good lay concealed.
First, the inability to place response
bility Second, vote swapping. Third,
the unwieldiness Of a numerous body.
We are all so familiar with these
weaknesaes in our present system
and their consequent vices that there
is no need of comment. But what is
needed Is that any. charter favored
by the people should contain the best
known guards against such weak
nesses and vices.
Experience has shown us that eff
cheney, responsiveness to the public
will. and ability TO locate responsible
ity are increased esSthe numbers in
a governing body decrease. Conse-
quently that form of commission
government is best where the COM
work we'll. Those who have good
government at heart are now advis-
ing not over FIVE commissioners sub
iect to election. Five commissioners
are sufficient for a city of any size.
A larger body is unwieldy, and there
is no use for more than five, except
merely for the purpose of making
sufficient offices to go around.
When there are five commissioners,
the departments are divided about as
follows:-1. Department of Public
Affairs 2. Department of Finance.
3. Department of Public Safety A.
Department Of Streets and~Public I'M
provements. 5. Department of Parks
and Public Property. These five de-
partments can we'll be reduced to
three. running somewhat as follows:
II. Department. OF Public Affairs. 2.
Department of Public Properties. 3.
Department of Accounts and Finances.
Those Immediately experimenting
the police, fire companies. the street
and sewers, and the Water Depart
ment should be subject TO the COM
missioners, and be appointed because
OF special knowledge and ability. The
public is not able to judge of the
efficiency of those engaged in spe-
cial lines of work as we'll as the
commissioners who have general
charge The Board of Commission
ers can apportion the work among
themselves after election. But It is
not the purpose now to enter into
details. Rather it is desirable now
to emphasize the importance of a
small board Of commissioners. A
board of three commissioners is more
responsive to the people than Is a
larger board. A small board can be
maintained at a less cost. and at the
same time do the work through the
aid OF competent sub-ofiicers as EN-
ciently as a larger board. II is bet
ter to have a small number of highly
competent and reliable men than a
| larger board of less competent men.
II is easier for the public to know
the integrity and efficiency of few
persons than of a greater number,
and also TO locate responsibility when

Re HIST TO PORTO RICANS.

IF THE inhabitants of the island of Porto Rico
i ever had a friend they have one in Mr.. John
S. Rossell of this city who delivered an enter
tanning address before the meeting of the Board
of Trade the other evening
Mr.. Rosse is pleading for citizenship for the
Porto Ricans He makes out a strong case for
them. Surely if the situation on the island is
such as Mr.. Rosse represents-and we have no
reason TO doubt 1.-THE Government should con-
fer upon these people the rights Of citizenship.
They are intelligent, wide awake and are prosper
ing.
Mr.. Rossell tells of the 10000 children in their
public schools as compared with 100000 few
years ago. The deposits in the banks have in
creased as well as the wages Of labor

VOTE THE REPuBLICAN TICKET.

TT HIS is the day of voting and not talking. The
Il question before the citizens is the approval
OF the present Democratic administration, an in
dorsement of which would mean not only that the
Democrats would be continued in their present
places but also that their grip upon the city would
be further strengthened for the Water Depart
ment and the Street and Sewer Department would
be turned over to them.
The question that the citizen who has not yet
voted must ask himself is whether he thinks the
rule of the Democrats has been such as to justify
extending their power in this city.
The records of the two parties must be familiar
to the voters by this time if they take the slight

coNrRoL oF BIG BusINEss.

r UDGE GARY, head of the steel trust, made
what some will regard as remarkable state
ments yesterday before the Congressional lnvesti-
eating Committee when he declared in favor OF
government control of the big trusts and corpora
tions. Such CONTROL he thinks, is absolutely nee
essary for the protection of the people, and Judge
Gary as representative of one of the big cor
porations welcomes such government action
Judge Gary thus points out in what manner the
future development of the industrial life of the
country will shape itself. He seems TO think that
the days of competition are passing away, and
many political economists agree with him. The
days OF competition have passed away practically
so far as public utility corporations are concern
ed. Instead of competition we are having mo-
nopoly regulated.
There are those who think that regulated mo-
nopoly would be better in all branches of industry
but there many objections to such monopoles
even if they we're supervised by the government.
The statement of Judge Gary shows the trend
of thought among the big captains of industry
They settling down TO the belief that the great
corporations should not be permitted to conduct
their affairs without government interference.
When this principle is generally accepted and
practiced many of the vexng problems referring
to capital and labor and industry will be solved.

GOOD ROADS CONGRESS.

THE FOURTH NATIONAL GOOD ROADS
i CONGRESS met recently in Birmingham
Ala. bringing together many highway experts,
legislators, automobilists delegates from com
mercial bodies engineers and others interested in
highways.
The addresses before the Congress showed that
much progress is making by the good roads move
ment. 1t is only four years since the hrst gath
ering of the kind met, but its fruits have been
manifested in almost every part of the country.
The result is that many schemes for intercity,
interstate and international highways are devel-
oping.
Not long ago the New York Legislature made an
appropriation for a State highway from New York
city to, Rouses Point, and this is said TO form
part OF the plan for continuous highway from
Montreal, Canada, TO the Gulf of Mexico.
1t must be a satisfaction to Delawareans to
know that our State has been put in the van
in this progressive movement The new state
highway will undoubtedly arouse further interest
in good roads, and it will not be so very long be-
fore we shall have fine roads in all parts of the
