The suggestion of the Morning News that if
special session of the Legislature is called to con-
slider the new revised code of Delaware laws the
so-called manufacturers tax should be reviewed is
worthy of serious attention. There is widespread
dissatisfaction among the manufacturers of the
city with the law. They think it rank injustice
an imposition Of unfair taxes upon them With
the manufacturers feeling as they do, it can be
readily that the city will be hampered in its
effort TO secure new industries. 1t is a pity that
this tax not more fully considered during
the recent session of the Legislature

Another Soul Mate Seeker.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
Not since Artist Earl stirred the
normal-minded population Of rural
town almost to the point of lynching
him by the frank announcement OF
his theories concerning soul mates
has there been such a sensationaf
giving out of free and untrammeled
opinion upon the subject of sex rela-
tionship as has been handed to the
public by the wife of Upton Sinclair
the woman from whom he is seeking
a divorce. She also Is a propagandist
of the soul mate doctrine, but she car
ries her theory to an extreme, and
states 1t with an unblushing frank
ness from which, most likely, even
Artist Earl would blushingly shrink
as carrying the soul-mate doctrine
just little too far. The average and
normal-minded man or woman Will
stand aghast at a woman saying "the
trouble with my husband Is that he
Is an essential monogamist, and OBJ
jects to my having my freedom in the
matter of sex" Shades of the Oneida
Community, what are we coming to
next?

EDITORIAL OPINION

for instance-that it takes a good
many affinities to satisfy the soul
hunger Of the individual who has no
particular use for "monogamy" in
the married relation. It is absurd
that such people should make any
pretense of regard for marriage. Nat
urally there comes to mind Kipling's
line about "a rag. a bone and hank
Of hair" or "the woman who never
could understand"
Having come to the point where the
adjustment of mere marital matters
sits lightly upon them, two of the
Utopians have been chattering to the
public on the subject of trial mar
riage, free love and the entire pro-
gram OF dubious attachments that
mask under a pretentious philosophy
of sex relations. The entire drivei
of the man Sinclair and his fellow
Kemp are of the nature of the rot
and rubbish that has been exploited
in the name of personal liberty,
marital freedom, unfettered affection,
soul mating and the like ever since
there have been person indisposed to
acknowledge the prevalence Of law
in relation to the family.
It is only the affinity crew that take
the view that marriage is an imposi-
tion that should be thrown aside az
will. The one great defect Of the
free love plan is that the history of
such fast and loose relations has
never disclosed a case of abiding con-
tentment or one i'm which the weaker
sex did not lost all that homogeneous
marriage tie has conferred upon her.
The jungle chatter of the Utopians Is
mass of mischievous prattle.

MISTAKES.

THERE has been talk that the officials Of the
l. Lehigh Valley Railroad Company may be
prosecuted because of the accident in which many
lives were lost the other day. A defective rail has
been given as the cause of the accident, and it is
insisted that the officials should have that the
rails we're in proper condition, free from defects
that imperil the lives of travellers.
Ii is true that railroad companies should take
all the precautions possible to prevent disasters
and accidents, but to secure infalIibility in the
employees is beyond the ability of any railway
manager Accidents like that on the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad are costly to the company as well as
to the public, and self interest on the part OF the
officials prompts them TO take all possible care
TO prevent loss of life Doubtless the company
did So
The inspectors must have been in fault Buff
the company had its tracks inspected, what more
could il do? The head officials could not person
ally 90 over the road and see that every rail was
in good condition. II may be said that they should
have employed capable TO do so. This is
true, but no railroad company Of the Importance
of the Lehigh Valley would employ men that It
did not think capable, and no railroad can be free
from errors negligence
In fact, one Of the crying complaints OF the
day is lack of efficiency on the part OF people
who work. We may have supposedly capable IN
spectors of various kinds but who is going to
inspect the inspectors? How many the err
rors committed daily, under the direction
Of persons who abhor errors. Persons who are
kicking about errors will err themselves
Call up a telephone number and how often is
a mistake made. Deal at a store and there will
be errors in your accounts. Try TO build house
and you must constantly watch to see that the
work is done right Try to have any piece OF
machinery repaired and you are on pins and
needles wondering whether il is done properly
The list could be extended TO cover every branch
Of human activity and il is almost impossible TO
guard against poor work and carelessness. About
the time you are critcisng the other fellow for
his carelessness you will make some error your
self
Have a case in court and you are likely to be
surrounded with errors. Graveyards are full OF
mute evidences of the mistakes of DOCTORS
Preachers are preaching all sorts of doctrines as
to the future and the preachers have the advan-
tage over the rest of us because ii is only after
we are dead If then, that we find out which
preacher made a mistake People denounce the
newspapers for making mistakes and they make
them
1t is therefore beyond the range of human pos
sibty for railroads to be nfallibe, but it is often
the appalling consequences OF their mistakes that
shock the public so. The best railroad manage
ment of course, is the that can reduce errors
and negligence to the minimum and such reduc-
ton should he the aim OF all railway managements
with acceleration towards that end by the Inter
state Commerce Commission when necessary.

Ii is much to be regretted that the managers of

MEAL PASSES INSPECTION.
Wholesale Merchants Receive Rcuorts
From State Department OF Health.

All Of the merchants in the city
who were visited by the State Meal
Inspector, Mr.. Jones, who passed
through Sumter about two weeks
ago on his regular trip Of inspection,
have received reports from the
samples Of meal which he took off
with him. The reports are all mark
ed 20. X" which means that the
meal was found to be up to the stand
ard.
The reports stated that the stand
ard acidity varied from Is to 80.
The meal samples generally ranged
from 21 to q. one being 81, one
point higher than the standard.
The only difficulty about this in
spection is that it takes several days
for the merchants to get the reports
from the analysis after the samples
are taken and by the time that the
reports are received most Of the
meal has been sold and already eaten.
The inspection and analysis, how
ever lis mostly to determine which
companies ship bad meal into this
State, so as to warn the merchants
against buying meal from them.
The merchants in this city have
been peculiarly fortunate In that re-
gard. for the companies which sell
corn products to them are all known
as good companies and up to the re-
cent inspection and analysis. all that
the inspector did on his visit here was
TO determine which companies the
meal and food stuffs came from.
when he passed them over without
further examination.
The inspector also took samples of
grits away from here with him, but
they have not yet been heard from.
