Leaders Show Capacity.

The Democratic leaders i'll the house, up to this time, have shown an unexpected capacity to deal with legislation in a way to give satisiac- tion to the country. They have sur prised their Republican colleagues by their manner of taking hold of things The recent decision of the Democratic caucus to push reciproci- ty through ahead of other tariff leg islation is undoubtedly a move that will be pursued With the backing of the country and is shrewd and sa gacious It has a bearing on the tariff situation that it is yet but dimly comprehended ill most quar- terS.
 The decision to reduce the duties on a long list of necessaries of life and the plan to take up such sched- ules as the wooden schedule and the cotton schedule, which will undoubt edly be carried out, though not yet formally decided on. will unques- tionably have the approval of the country at large.
 Anyone who studies the results Of the last elections must come to the conclusion that the Democrats are setting out to do the things th2t the public wants. The responses Pres ident Taft has had to the Canadian reciprocity agreement are a clear in dication of the popularity of this measure. The clamor against the high cost of living and the feeling against the woolen and cotton sched- ules, when called to mind, make it plain Ina, the Democrats are trying to do the things that will mean votes in 1912

The Wilmington Junior League is

could not get team of IA year old
players together Since that time
Olive A. c. and Lakerim have applied
for membership in the league and the
clubs will be admitted if the present
eight club league is continued. Sew
eral of the team managers feel, how
ever, that a six club league would be
preferable and now that only six
clubs are in, excluding Homewood, it
may be that the boys will hold TO the
present membership, and exclude Oh
i've and Lakerim. The circuit cannot
be decided on definitely until We'd
nesday. March 20 when the club man
ayers will be required to post for
feits TO guarantee the playing out Of
