ATTEMPT TO BEFUDDLE.

IT HE disgusted Democratic newspaper has fin
Il ally settled down TO almost the only argu-
ment It has during the present municipal cam
pagn Its tactics now to hammer the Re-
publican organization on general principles All
the sins or alleged sins OF the organization are
reviewed and apparently by indrection shouldered
on the Republican city ticket, ticket headed by
man as a candidate for Mayor who the disgusted
Democratic newspaper declared was not wanted
by the organization as its candidate for Mayor
Admitting for the sake Of argument, the truth
of all the things said about the organization, how
is the coming municipal administration to be af.
feoted by the acts of the Legislature or the dongs
of the organization in the past?
II is admitted that when holding Office Dr. How
ell acted. in an independent manner 1t is we be-
lieve admitted that he is free from alliances that
would hamper him in the discharge Of his official
duties, as free as any man could be who might be
elected Mayor
Whether in the past the Republican organization
refused to give so-caled desired relief or not in
various matters has nothing TO do with his can
didaoy for Mayor Two tickets are presented to
the voters, one of which will be elected. They
are partisan tickets TO be sure. One stands for
an administration confessedly unsatisfactory an
administration which is now trying to juggle with
figures in desperate manner for the purpose of
hiding the real facts as regards the financial con-
dition of the city. 1t is attempting by juggery
and by borrowing here and there to cover up the
real extent of the deficit
Unfortunately for the Democrats they have not
the advantage they had during the last municipal
campaign That advantage is with the Repub-
cans who are not on the defensive. The Demo-
Gratis have had an opportunity to make good, but
they have failed The present city election has
nothing to do with what any Legislature may have
done in the past. 1t is purely city affair

PLEASED WITH
THE TURNSTILES
Manager Crook Speaks Of Use
of Devices at Springs
Park

General Manager Richard W. Crook
OF the Peoples Railway, is much
pleased with the result of the test Of
the automatic turnstiles by the big
crowd at Brandywine Springs Park
on Memorial Day Speaking of the
turnstiles Mr.. Crook today said:
"The primary object is to protect
the public from danger by only ad-
mitting certain number of people to
the enclosure at the same time II
Is dangerous to allow crowd TO
rush for a car which is in motion. In
addition to this the passenger is bene-
fitted so far as his personal comfort
is concerned because, by depositing
his fare AT the turnstiie. he is saved
the necessity of digging into his
pocket on a crowded car to get it,
His safety Is further promoted he
cause the conductor is able to give
his entire attention 10 the operation
Of his car in leaving the park instead
Of being compelled 10 climb about
and collect fares.
Now ! am sure that every one IS
willing to cooperate with me in max
ing the work of the conductor easier.
Few can understand the terrific strain
which n is upon a man to be conf
/ PEELED to climb about q running board
and practically over people to collect
/ fares. In addition 10 this he is In
constant danger of being swept from
his car or accidentally knocked from
/ it. Under this new system this dan
ger Is materially lessened.
"Of course, there has never yet
! been a system invented which will
be a success in preventing crowding
unless the people cooperate: If you
admit enough people TO fill one or two
cars to the enclosure and they all
rush for the first car then the result
! Is practically the same as n you
were loading them in the open.
want to impress on the people that
there will be ample care provided to
carry all OF the park patrons home
I I'm good time. If there chances to be
more than enough people admitted
to the enclosure to fill the cars there
they can rest assured than in a com
paratively few minutes there will DC
more cars there. It is useless to rush
I would especially ask the younger
men not to do it, but to give the wo-
men and children a chance. ] have
always found It the best plan IN tali

they will be unwilling to consider any

MARITAL JAR BY
WIRELESSDUE TO BIBLE

NEW YORK, June 1.--Robert Ed
wards purser on the liner Baltic, and
his wife. who came over on the Min
newaska to join him in New York,
ware close together at sea. So Pur-
ser Edwards sent to Mrs. Edwards
on the other ship this message by
wireless;
Third episue Of John. verses 13
and IA"
These two verses read
81 have many things to write, but
will not with pen and ink write un-
to them
"But trust l shall shortly see thee
and we shall speak together face to
face. Peace be to thee"
But IN the transmission the mes
sage got twisted slightly and when
Mrs Edwards. aboard the Minnewa-
ska found a Bible and looked upon the
reference, she encountered verse
which read as follows;
There Is a serpent in my house" "
Mrs. Edwards was indignant at first
But she thought It over and decided
that there could be but one interpre-
tation-the purser had been drinking
something he had never done before
So. in order to show she understood
she wired back back to him this:
First Timothy, fifth chapter. twen-
| ty-third verse"
Which reads:
Drink no longer water. but use a
little wine for the stomach's sake and
thy own infrmities.'
A much puzzled purser named Ed
wards got into port. But the muddle
was straightened out when the Min
newaska docked.

ONE POINT TO CONSIDER

q UPPOSE the election on Saturday was stripped
- of all partisanship. Suppose there we're no
labels on the tickets merely list of names Which
set of candidates in such circumstances would ap-
peal TO a man who was determined TO vote for
the best interests of the city? Would he not
look at one list of names and say: These are the
names that have been responsible for the present
administration, an administration that has caused
its former defender to cry loudly for a new char
ter? Let him look at the other set of Names the
list headed by Dr. Howell Would not a fair
minded man say that the candidate for Mayor is
man who has given good account of himself
when he had an opportunity to do so? Is he
not man free from entangements which his op-
ponents have harped as being in large meas
ure indirectly responsible for the disturbed con-
dition OF affairs in the city
In other words is not the ticket headed by DR..
fiowell the ticket that should appeal to the man
who wants to elect the candidates who give the
best promise of an improved administration of the
affairs of the city? Why is the Democratic mouth
piece so silent as 10 Mayor Spruance? 1t is not

EDITORIAL OPINION

tions in restraint Of trade and tend
ing toward monopoly have received
their death-warrant.
Ignorantly no doubt in most cases
but Intentionally in some, the decision
of the court IN the Standard OIL case
was misrepresented. The doubts thus
raised may now be set aside. In that
great and memorable judgment the
worst of our monopolies was pro-
nounoed guilty by unanimous court.
From that finding there is no equal.
II is to be regretted that single
Justice, approving the verdict, found
occasion to question one of the rea-
sons advanced by his associates for
their conclusions, but the fact, ac-
complished forever, over which all
Americans must rejoice, is that trusts,
combinations. holding companies and
conspiracies in restraint Of trade are
unlawful and must dissolve or stand
the consequences. which. as re-em-
phasized yesterday, are fines, impris-
onments and receiverships.

Death to the Trusts.
New York World.

DNeth W tht lIutlhs
New York World.
The decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States against the To-
bacco Trust must be almost as hu-
initiating to those who have been cry
ing out against the "rule OF reason"
as It is disastrous to the interests di-
rectly concerned Once more the
common law embodied in a nationa
statute performs its perfect and Of
course its reasonable work.
This case was much more compli-
Gated than that of Standard Oil. II
came up from a divided court, II
involved a question of foreign COM
'merce. II compelled a judgment upon
restraint of trade as we'll as upon
monopoly. II necessitated a review
Of the decision in the Knight case
(Sugar Trust), for upon that strictly
limited finding the Tobacco people
depended for justification. II com
pretended appeals by both the Gov
ernment and the trust. II had 10 do
with a trade conspiracy which. while
no more shrewd than that of Standard
oil. did not reach back into years of
actual violence and common felony.
The dissolution Of the Tobacco
Trust, therefore. proves that courts
are as well armed against the craft
that has developed Of late under the
guidance OF the lawyers Of Big Busi-
ness as they are against the open
brutality which shocked and shamed
the people in the earlier days OF

QUEER ARGUMENT.

IF THE Republican organization argument that
i Republican victory means good city government
is a oanard an approach TO a canard, what must
be said of the queer Democratic argument which
says, We are bad, but you are worse?
How can it be reasonably argued that you are
worse when the Republican candidate for Mayor
has an admittedly good record in the only city
Office he ever held? How is it known that he
will be worse when no one knows what he will
do and when the only record DR.. Howell has is
a good record?

ment and if the voters should try to be guided
by such advice as the Democratic newspaper is
handing TO them most of them would take to

Soap: It's not only distinct from other
soaps in name but different in action.
Most soaps have the distinction With
out the difference.
But Fels-Naptha is different in this.
it's a totally new way of washing.
Fels-Naptha is the only soap that will
satisfactorily wash clothes in cool or luke
warm water, without boiling OF hard
rubbing.
That's the difference.
No boiling or scalding clothes to
weaken them, no back-breaking rubbing
over nauSeous hot SudS.
Washing done in one-half the time

longer and are cleaner and sweeter than any

editors were cynical and that a flood of spring

almost the only kind of flood or noise that comes
our way these afternoons is a flood of telephone
calls wanting to know the Scores" BY actual
count The Journal had nearly nine hundred score
calls one afternoon. And isn't this enough TO
