MACHINERY OF GOVERNMENT.

TT HOSE who advocate the election of United
Il States Senators by direct vote of the people
and other reforms assume that the people do not
get a square deal. They say mysterious influences,
generally described as the interests, manipulate
things in dark chambers for their own selfish pur-
poses Hence some other way must be had for
expressing the will of the people so that they
shall have a fair deal. Developments surrounding
the Lorimer scandal in Illinois show concusivey
that the interests do work under cover and try to
control Legislatures.
1t is all right to make experiments for better
government. The Journal however believes that
the people, even under the present system, have
a better chance than some Of the reformers think
they have. The people have various ways Of ex-
pressing their opinions, Of showing their interest
under the present machinery. The people are not
so much shackled as the reformers think
Some instances in Delaware prove this For ex-
ample talking about a new charter and
improved city government in Wilmington Every
where you go almost among men who talk AT all
on such matters-provided that they are not wholly
absorbed in looking at politics merely from the
point of view of providing jobs and provided that
the men can divert their minds for FIVE minutes
from baseball-you hear them mention new char
ter or AT least some change
If this is true there should be some way Of
making known that interest in addition 10 mere
expressions in the newspapers There is a way
and the Civic Association has provided it, The
meeting Of the association in some measure at
least should be a gauge of public interest in the
matter.

OPEN LIBRARY ON SUNDAY.

IN ERHAPS the only reason why the Institute
L Library is not open on Sunday afternoons, as
suggested by the Rev. Mr.. Jackson, is the fact
that the funds at the disposal of the library man.
ayers are not sufficient to pay the expense OF an
open library. If so, City Council should make the
small appropriation required.
There would have TO be attendants at the IL
brary on Sunday afternoons, and if part OF the
regular force is so employed, they should be given
a holiday on some week day to make up for the
time taken from them on Sundays.
There is no other valid reason that we have
heard of why the libraryzshould not be open part
of Sunday Certainly no harm weuld be done, but
some good might be accomplished. Many persons
cannot use the library TO any extent during the
week days They would be glad of the opportun-
ity 10 visit il on Sundays.
AS Mr. Jackson says many persons spend part OF
the day at home reading and they could do so at
the library on Sundays just as we'll.
The problem of passing Sunday is often trouble
some to young persons and if the opening of the
library on that day would help in solving that prob
lem, the experiment should be made Mr. Jack
sons suggestion is good, and should be consid-
cred by the managers of the library
Wilmington is proud of its public library and
nothing should be left undone to provide for its
fullest use by the people.

ELECTION OF SENATORS.

TN MANY respects the action of the United
Il States Senate in passing the resolution pro-
vidng for the submission of constitutional
amendment 10 the Legislatures for their approval
requiring the election of United States Senators
by the people is remarkable. The resolution was
passed by two-thirds vote which shows that the
Senator'S believe the sentiment of the people large
ly favors the change.
During the last session of the Delaware Legis-
lature the lower House passed a resolution fav-
oring the election Of Senator'S The resolution was
defeated in the Senate where some back number"
discovered a queer reason that no one else ever
thought OF ever will think Of again for opposing
the popular will
For years there has been an agitation for max
ing Senators elective by the people and not by the
Legislature. This sentiment for a change came
about with the growing belief that the Senate as
whole represented privilege and failed TO respond
70 the will of the people OF last years the senti-
ment for election has grown rapidly and wonder
fully. The Lormer scandal has helped il.

Electric Current for power at Low

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
In an article published in your pa
per last week you call attention to the
necessity in Wilmington for more
small manufactures. Does It not oc-
cur to you that when the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company
was formed and the combination was
confronted with the necessity of in
creasing the rates on electric current
that the possibilities of securing
small manufactures was reduced to a
minimum?
If the people Of Wilmington want
small manufacturers to settle here
the writer will tell them how to get
them. Let some of the capitalists IF
Wilmington form an electric company.
Let this company he capitalized at
the real cost and then let them sell
electricity at q price that will allow
fair dividend on the amount of real
money invested
This would be hard on the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany. but It will bring small manu-
features. The present condition IF
things is awful hard on the people of
Wilmington. but only few Of them
can see it as yet Don't forget it

assumed by the Wilmington and
Philadelphia Traction Company is not
only placing an onerous burden on

COLONY FOR HOBOES.

TT HE New York Legislature has under consid-
< Grafton a bill having in view the abating of
the professional tramp or hobo nuisance No mat
ter whether times are good or bad, the hobo is
always with TO a greater or lesser extent. He
has various excuses He cannot get work he
says. Society is against him, he adds, and he does
not have a fair chance. But often he will not
work even if he has the opportunity. He lodges
work
The Chanler bill before the New York Legisla-
ture contempates the establishing of a farm col
ony for tramps 1t authorizes the Legislature TO
name a commission TO study the vagrant question
in New York city and to secure land for the pro-
posed colony
The sponsors of the bill intend TO make the col
ony seli-supporting nearly so. Migrants will
be committed either for a stated period or under
an indetermnate sentence, and then forced to
work for their own support But the intent of the
bill goes further than that. 1t is proposed that in
the colony work will be provided for the jobless
man who is not vagrant but who wants TO be
self-supporting and is in temporary hard luck
Colonies of this kind have been established in
Europe, one in Switzerland bringing in a small
revenue. The effect of these colonies in Europe
either reforms the tramp and makes good citizen
OF him or drives him out of the state
The experiment is worth making in New York
and 1t will be watched with interest in other states
The farm might he good place TO send the un-
tortunates who gather nightly in the famous bread
line in New York city. 1t might aid considerably
in solving the problem of the unemployed, the
respectable unemployed, as we'll as it would take
care OF the vagrants and similar social derelicts

GARBAGE COLLECTION.

II HERE is no good reason why the collection
Il of garbage should not be conducted in a clean
and sanitary manner. The garbage contractors
in the future should make their bids in accordance
with an understanding that they are required to
do the work according to law.
There is nothing more disagreeabe than to see
the garbage carts with the lids open Dr. Cleaver
deserves commentator for his interest in the mat
ter of clean garbage work. II may be that his
desire for drastic action is a triae too severe but
he is on the right track, and improvement will
be the result of his agitatng the question.
In fact there is room for improvement not only
IN the collection of garbage but in the keeping of

some parts of the city back yards are as clean as
front yards? Garbage cans are concealed and no
one passing by knows that there is such

that, according to a decision of the

a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law Is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
