SILK flowers, large and small, are lash

IS .xauisitely fine. The ribbon work small
flowers that have been aud are used on
gowns and In fancy work are also utilized
In the hat trimmings, but the newest are
the larger flowers, with long stems and
many leaves. Black hats trimmed with
the white silk flowers are smart and Ell

appearance some months ago, it has only
now been generally accepted. 1t is orig.

THOSE WHO COME HERE.

II HE heavy emigration of laborers TO the United
Il States from some Of the old countries has
alarmed their governments, some Of which TAX
ing steps to prevent the large exodus of workers.
The Austro-Hungarian Government has adopted
restrictive measures, and there has been decrease
in the number Of emigrants going TO the United
States, the figures for 1910 being 1925 as COM
pared with 10000 in 1909. Ii is said, however,
that the decrease may be accounted for by the
condition of the labor market during those years
in this country The demand in the United States
for labor is now said TO have increased and the
Austrian government will have trouble in prevent
ing emigration.
Foreigners will continue to come here so long
the opportunities for self betterment compar-
ed with life in the old world are so attractive
We often hear complaints on the part of agita-
tors that conditions in America bad but despite
these grumbles there must be far better chance
for earning livelihood in the United States than
in the densely populated countries of Europe The
fact that Austria looks with msgivings upon the
departure of so many of her sons is rather odd
considering the troubles which the old European
countries have had because of a surplus of popu-
lation Indeed one OF the reasons always advanc-
ed for colonization and conquest is that colonies
afford dumping place for the surplus populations.
That the immigrants to the United States
rule prosper is evident on every hand. They earn
more for their daily toll, live better, and many Of
them develop into alert and capable business men.
In most cities the foreign population including the
descendants of foreigners outnumber the natives

COMPENSATION ACTS.

A CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION, accord
L ing to an abstract of the report made public
yesterday, intends to urge upon Congress pro-
posed law concerning employers liability and the
compensation of workngmen which many will con-
slider radical. The chief features OF the proposed
law are as follows:
Compulsory and direct payment by railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce TO employees injured
in the course Of their duties Cases of specified
misconduct are TO be exempted.
Employer TO bear entire burden of payments,
without any taxation Of employees
Law compulsory without election by either en-
poyer or employe.
Remedies applied by this law to be exclusive Of
any obtainabe under common or statutory law
For disabilities continuing for two weeks or less,
the employers to furnish medical or surgical at
tention to an amount not exceeding $780,
Payments of compensation to be made periodi-
cally, and not in lump sums
Amount Of total payment TO be limited to a
maximum and minimum, and not to continue be-
yond a specified term of years.
Amount of all payments to be based on per-
centage of the employees wages.
All claims shall be non-assgnable and exempt
from levy. In case of death, payments shall be
made to dependents including alien dependents
The law will apply TO railroads engaged in an
interstate commerce traffic, and it is to be noticed
that the entire burden falls upon the railroad COM
panies.
In this provision the proposed law differs from
the compensation act advocated by Lloyd-George
in England Under the suggested British law the
burden is divided among the workingmen them
selves, the state and the employers.
All OF which reminds US that a commission was
appointed some time ago in this state to consider
the framing of liability and compensation act,
and that question will come before the next ses-
sion OF the Legislature. 1t is not too early for
smployes and employers as we'll as others to begin
consideration Of the matter They should not put
of until after the subject is before the Legsls-
ture or until some bill has been passed
Considerable friction was caused during the last
session and afterwards because bills we're passed
20 which the manufacturers objected. Had they
made their protests known before much trouble
might have been avoided
1t is highly probable that some kind of compen-
saton act will be passed by the next session, and
II would be well If a bill regarded as generally sat-
isfaetory could be prepared in advance

Chicago stenographers have formed union with
some rules highly advantageous to themselves If
they can be enforced. They provide for minimum
wage scale of Sl2 a week, but there is no limit
upon the salary that stenographer may receive.
An hour under the rules is to be allowed for lunch
another hour for other things, and an allowance
OF twenty-five cents day is to be made for pri-
vate telephone calls. The business man, according
to the rules must be sympathetic and not irritable
and poor spelling, mutilated punctuation and lack
of grammar are not to be considered sufficient
causes for discharge. If a business man can be
sympathetic and not irritable under these condi-
tions, he will be wonder but, perhaps, the Chi
cago business man is.

POLITICAL CoRRLPTInN

nELAwARE is not the only place in which
- charges of corruption in elections by the pur
chase OF votes have been made. One of the Ches-
ter newspapers quotes a prominent politician of
that city as saying that many more than thous-
and OF the colored voters in that city sell their
votes, and The Republican adds that there is also
large class of white voters who are ever ready to
take dollar or FIVE dollars, whichever they can
get for their votes. The Chester Republican says
with truth that vote buying and vote selling can
be stopped just as soon as people who believe in
honest and fair elections are ready TO stop it.
Laws can be made against vote buying and vote

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The Million Dollars That
W. H. Vanderbilt Had
No Need OF
By Holland.

Il had many intimate business and
personal relations with William II.
Vanderbilt between S77, when he sue
ceded his father, the Commodore, at
the head of the Vanderbilt enterprises,
and 1885, the year of his DEATH" said
the late Commodore Alfred Van SAINT
voord, himself the largest owner OF
steamboat lines in the United States,
to me a year or so before his death in
1901.
II think, however, on the whole,
that the most interesting and dramatic
incident in all our association occur
red at the time of the closing Of the
now historic West Shore Railroad deal.
You may remember that Mr.. Wander
bilt bought for himself and for the
New York Central, the West Shore
Railroad, so that thereby a dangerous
competitor might be got out OF the
way.
Il was an officer Of the bank through
which Mr.. Vanderbilt was to make the
payment to those who represented the
West Shore property owners. / knew
sthat upon one occasion Mr.. Vanderbilt
was to play six million dollars in cash
and / knew also that his check would
go through the bank with which was
connected.
Now, six million dollars in cash is
a very large amount Of money, even
for Vanderbilt to have on hand, and
it occurred to me that William, as
always called him, might appreciate a
little ready money assistance.
Just as l was thinking the matter
over Mr.. Vanderbilt's confidential man
came to see me upon an important
matter and it suddenly occurred to me
that might send through him a mes
sage to Mr.. Vanderbilt, so / said.
Are you going right from this Of
flee to Mr.. VanderbiltsT The man
told me that he was.
Will you carry an important mes
sage to him from me and let me know
Immediately what the answer is? Tho
man said he would.
Well. take him this message, con
fidentially. Say to him that / under
stand he is making arrangements fol

lion dollars which he expects to draw

furthermore, that it is very convent.

ORIGINAL STATES.

T N THE general progress of the country the
4 thirteen original states are often overlooked
1t is presumed that they are overshadowed by the
great growth of the west But the thirteen org-
nal states-and Delaware was the first one to sign
the constitution and therefore the first state-have
not been sleeping by any means.
Mr.. Durand Director of the Government Census
Department gives some interesting facts about
the thirteen states. He shows that between 1890
and 1910 the population of the thirteen original
states increased from 3s20000 to 1881 900, or al
most ten fold. The value Of their manufactured
products increased from S20,O00O0O TO Sitf2f,-
100000, or nearly six hundred fold Their exports
to foreign countries increased from $4,000, 900 to
$lol9'OOO,OOO, or over fifty fold and their imports
increased by about the same proportion
They comprise only one-eighth of the area of
the United States but contain two-fths of the en-
tire population, and produce So per cent. Of the
total value Of manufactured products

ATLANTIC DEEP WATERWAYS.

Christian Science Monitor.
It is related In the dispatches that
the address delivered by President ].
Hampton Moore of the Atlantic Deep
Waterways Association, at the open
Ing of the convention Of that organi-
zation in Richmond, Va, on Wednes-
day, in which he noted the progress
during the years of the associations
existence of the projects it has ad-
vocated and encouraged, aroused the
enthusiasm of the delegates. There
was good deal more for the president
to report than is generally believed
Much is known, of course, along the
New England coast regarding the
headway that is being made in the
matter Of cutting through Cape Cod,
but other links in the chain of intra-
coastal waterways that will enable
vessels 10 find protected passage from
Maine to Florida in the near future,
are also being carried along their pre-
liminary stages or are under actual
construction.
Mayor James H. Preston, of Baltl-
more. for instance, in the course Of his
remarks before the convention, dwelt
upon the importance Of the Delaware
and Chesapeake canal He properly
held that this enterprise is Of far more
importance to eastern Pennsylvania,
to New Jersey, TO New York and to
the New England states--to the coal
consuming manufacturing section OF
the East--than il is TO the western
producers and European consumers OF
American hreadstuffs. 1T means he
said. "the continuation of the indus
trial enterprises in the area l have
mentioned. II means the life OF 'Ne
cotton factories Of New England, for
without cheaper coal these factories
must seek sites near the fields Of pro-
duction OF the raw products and on
coal. Indeed. scores Of factories nave
already moved TO the South.
Each geographical division along
the North Atlantic seaboard viii quite
naturally find greatest importance 10

! somewhat excusably, perhaps, Will DC
/ inclined to exaggerate this Importance,
| hut the enthusiasm that operates 70
create a friendly rivalry Of this char
acter is not to he underrated or dis
couraged.
An intracoastal waterway between
Maine and Florida would have been
thought an utterly impossible under
taking not many years ago; II IS oelhe
made possible now by the needs, prl-
marilv. and then by the energy Of the
different geographical divisions in in
terest. and by that impelling force
called emulation, which when right.
fully directed along commercial OF
moral lines is equally resistless. All
the probabilities point TO an earlJ
completion of the chain Of canals that
will link the North Atlantic with the
Gulf. and without the necessity O.
calling for federal aid. In this respect
alone. if In no other, the enterprise
will be a splendid object lesson fol
the entire country.

THE SITUATION.
FOUNDED 1888.

TT is not TO be presumed that Wilmington will
L be content with unregulated monopoly of any
of the Public Utilities.
AS the situation now Is the authority of the
Public Utilities Commissioners TO regulate the
rates of fare TO be charged by the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company is called in
question in the courts. The company is disputing
the authority of the commissioners
No test case has been brought as yet to decide
whether the commissioners would have authority
to regulate the price of electric current If COM
plant should be made of such rates before the
Commissioners, and the Commissioners should de-
eide on a reduction or adjustment or imposition
of any penalties the company, judging its conduct
IN the railway case, might resist
1t would, in our judgment, be well for the COM
pany seriously to consider the matter, for to as
sumo position of opposition to regulation, would
certainly create a widespread sentiment in favor
of another company entering the field
Unreguated monopoly would be intolerable
There must be either regulated monopoly in
satisfactory manner, or there will surely be fur
ther attempts at competition.
Evening journal., 1911-10-26

There is no let UP in the tendency to regulate
even matters that are not strictly Of public con-
Germ. Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers, wife of the dean
Of the Yale Law School, in address before the
Connecticut Federation OF Women's Clubs declared
that no woman is qualified to marry until she is
competent to perform household duties and that
licenses to wed should be refused the incompet-
ents. Unwholesome home life is given as a rea-
son for many ills that afhct the community But
it would be rather difficult to pass upon the quail
heations Of woman as housekeeper If it we're
desirable TO do so. On the same ground as that
advanced no man should be licensed to marry until
he has shown that he is competent TO earn re-
spectacle living.

Editorial Opinion
FASHION AND wOM4D's TOES.

FADhAUN ANU WOWA4@f - AUA<os
New York World
A German professor warns Ameri-
can women that they will lose the lit
tie toe from each foot if they do not
revolt from "the slavery Of fashion"
and wear larger shoes. Tight shoes, he
argues. by deforming the great and lit
tie toes, retard the circulation; slower
circulation means colder blood; colder
blood is a reptilian characteristic.
Ergo, the approximation Of women to
lizards.
The professors anatomical syllog-
ism is ingenious, but the flaw in it
consists in the fact that fewer women
nowadays wear tight shoes than with
in a generation at least. Their feet
have been emancipated as a result Of
their greater devotion to athletic
sports, and at a recent convention OF
shoe-manufacturers it was announced
that the average size of women's shoes
had increased
Nor is it likely that Nature would
allow the complete atrophy of any Of
the toes even IL fashion favored it. She
shows herself loath to give up any
part of the human mechanism. Having
retained the vermiform appendix
through the ages since mans ascent
from the ape. it is impossible that she
will ever dispense with even the small
est of the toes.
