THE WORST THING ABOUT IT.

We shall never attempt to reform another confirmed drunkard. Not long ago we started on one with this line of argument.
 Don't you ever regret the time you lose when you are in a drunken stu por?"
 ''I sure do. he ackuOWl Wledged-"that worries me more than anything else"
 "Ah, And why does that awful loss worry you?''

THE PEACE MOVEMENT

A LTHOUGH the war mongers and militarists
n have been busy in trying to stir up the war
feeling they will probably admit that they have
not been very successful
The war advocates have done their best to lash
the country into a fury over the Mexican situation,
but somehow the country is not much disturbed
Even the Japanese war ghost does not frghten
us. When there is a chance Of soaring us over
Japan pacific assurances come from Washington.
The country has refused to be thrilled by the
contemplated dash into Mexico If the country has
any sympathy in the natter it is with the Mexican
rebels. Much enthusiasm cannot he raised over
a contemplated invasion of Mexico and the crush
ing out Of the rebellion. If it has TO be done il
will he done without any great pleasure
In the midst Of the general war talk il is said
that our Government has under consideration
three general arbitration treaties with England
with France and with Japan n the Taft admin
istratlon should negotiate such treaties with the
three powers named, it would have won high
place in our history that record alone
These four nations rule populations of 55OOOO-
OO9 and hold sway over 200O0000 square miles Of
territory.
A permanent peace treaty would be great step
towards universal peace, peace that is certain to
come. Probably there is more suspicion about
Japan than about any other nation. because wheth-
er the belief is true false there is belief that
Japan is feeling its oats and wants TO gain fame
as a military power before the era of universal
peace.
But the movement for peace will go on, and
President Taft and this country arc working for
1t. Think of the money wasted in war and war
preparations, money that could be used to bring
so many blessings to the people il it could be di-
verted to the proper channels

WHAT AIS THE CITY?

COME persons have been saying that the candi-
- dates for Mayor of Wilmington should issue
statements and Mayor Spruance who is seeking
denomination at the hands Of his party has taken
that advice 1t is presumed that the other
aspirants will follow his example Surely the peo-
pie have a right TO know the views OF the men
they may be called on to support for Mayor.
The Mayor says nothing about the unwse pur-
chase at "A high figure of the Ford property for
which the present administration but not the
Mayor more than the Councmen, is TO be held
responsible. The Mayor might have expressed his
opinion about the proposed sale Of the Rodney
street reservoir property.
Dr. Sprusnce forcefully states his attitude IN
regard TO other matters and we think the COM
munity will agree with him in about all that he
SAYS The municipal hospital is something evi-
IDENTITY close TO his heart Being a physician the
Mayor is more competent TO speak concerning
this matter than a layman.
The Mayor stands for other desirable public inn
provements, and he pledges himself to appoint
proper persons for Public Utilities Commissioners
should he he elected. He will be judged in this
matter by the appointments be makes on the
charter commission And we may remark that We
see no particular need for hurry in the appoint
ing of these commissioners The Mayor should
carefully consider any suggestions that may be
made
Under our present form Of city government the
He is more Of a counsellor than executive.
Whoever may be his successor will not rest in
bed of roses. The task of the new MayOH will
not be by any means pleasant The truth is thai we
need various improvements the city is heavily in
debt financial considerations must hamper the
city officials, we are trying to put quart Of water

flow.

next two years with our municipal machinery out

DOING AGOOD WORK

IT HERE is need of patriotic societies such as
4 that of the Sons of the American Revolution
whose annual dinner and meeting was held the
other evening
When it is considered that million or more of
immigrants find their way TO our shores every year
the problem that confronts America is really very
great The families of immigrants as rule are
larger than those of Americans who have lived
here for generations. The character of the coun-
try must be changing considerably as a result of
the inflow. The newcomers must be taught to
appreciate the institutions OF America and the
American idea so that they may properly enjoy
the great'pryileges that come with true American
citizenship. Patriotic societies are engaged in
this educational work
Delaware has history Of which every Della
warean should justly feel proud. We are showing
more interest in Delaware historical matters than
ever before. The Sons Of the American Revolu-
tion arc doing their share in keeping alive the
precious memories of the past

ware revolutionary troops on the battlehelds Of

Editorial Opinion
America's Unfinished Rnslness.

Americas Unfinished Business.
New York Evening Mail.
The basis for the radical bent Of
American public opinion is the fact
that, philosophically. number Of our
customs are on the scrap heap. hut
actually they still exist to fetter us.
There are several progressive institu-
tions which are not fantastic. not ex-
porimental, which are voucbed for by
the successful practice oe other ma
tions and yet which are strangers to
our political system. In many re-
spects we are far behind other en-
lightened countries.
II is a fact that in many respects,
also, we are far ahead Of any other
country. certainly ahead Of any coun-
try in Europe. America is still. what
a German pubicist called It. "the
land Of unlimited possibilities" We
are freed from the ancient antagon-
lsms, suspicious and frontier fears Of
Europe The ordinary man holds his
head more erect here than anywhere
abroad His political estate is more
self-respectful; his economic life is
better remunerated. The fact that
about a million immigrants come
hither every year is evidence sufficient
that, despite certain obvious de-
ficiencies in orr political system, life
Is freer and fairer here than in tho
countries where those deficiencies do
not obtain.
But the enlightened American is nor
content with this good comparative
showing. He starts with the assump-
tion that life ought 10 be easier in a
new country than in an older one, and
as good as Il can be. and that .wher-
ever foreign practice has evolved a
way Of improving It, We should profit
Public opinion in this country will
be radical so long rs We kill FIVE
workmen on our railroads and in our
mines and factories whore Europe
kills two: so long as We answer the
workman's widows petition for JUS
tIce with the stone Of a lawsuit in
stead Of the bread Of compensa ton;
so long as mothers and little children
are employed IA factories; so long as
we permit express companies TO
charge twice or thrice tho rates for
carrying packages that obtain In
countries which have tho parcels
post: so long as an unreguiated cold
storage system promotes the mani
pulation Of corners I'm food products,
and the extortion Of excessive prices
therefor; so long as wealth bears one
dollar of the tax burden where wealth

crooked practices are uncovered every
time big business is put on the rack;
so long as our laws permit of mo-
nopoly but do not compass its regula-
ton: so long as the boss system way
laws the primary processes Of politics.

NEW HAMPSHIRE LEGISLATION.

WHILE Governor Wilson has been disturbing
Wv the political atmosphere of New Jersey, Mr..
Bass, the progressive Republican Governor of
New Hampshire; has been making a commotion
in that State
Several years ago the Progressives started their
fight in the Now England State, but they we're de-
sfeated, so great was the hold of the Boston and
Maine Railroad Company upon the State. But
the Progressves kept plugging away, and at the
last election Mr.. Bass, their candidate, who had
previously defeated the Standpatters at the pri-
maries, won and carried with him Progressive
Republican lower House The Senate remained
under the control of the Standpatters.
A short time ago it looked blue for the Cover
nor and his House. or the ten chief measures
promised in the Republican platform had
passed the House and been defeated in the Senate.
Seven others which had. passed the House
stalled in the Senate The Boston and Maine in
Huences assumed to be trying TO block all
the progressive legislation in order to discredit
Governor Bass
The chief bone Of contention was over the rail-
road rate charges in the State. Finally the Gov
ernor devised plan Of settling the matter which
the railroad company was forced TO accept and
with this victory other progressive legisla-
iion
Among the bills passed are those providing for
a Public Service Commission. prohibiting cam
paign contributions by corporations providing for
publicity of campaign fund'receipts and expendi-
lures, creating permanent commission to equal
ze taxation and providing for workingmen's com
pensatiou.
measure providing for the election of dele
gates 70 the National Convention at a primary
was defeated. And yet there is no good reason
why national delegates should not he elected by
the people instead Of by the State convention
The New Hampshire legislation shows that the
drift towards progressive ideas is not confined to
western states, but that it is growing everywhere
No party has monopoly of such legislation

Strangers very often gain q

the citizens of the latter answer
their requests for information as
to the location of streets or build

an attempt is made to give the in
quirer all the information neces-
sary for reaching the desired desti-
nation, inevitably disposes him
favorably towards the city,
whether he is conscious of it or
not. An uncivil answer of the ap-
pearance of being annoyed by the

A Little Graft.

A new subcommittee in the
House of Congress headed by A.
M. Palmer of Pennsylvania, has
been poking around a bit in an
effort to make a show of economy,
and, uncovered the fact that a
little fifteen year old (she is now
24) girl was put on pay roll Of the
government at $1,000 a year as
clerk to the doorkeeper. But ii
she were forty years old instead OF
a child, what under heaven does
the doorkeeper need of a clerk,
anyways
Another case. The committee
reports that During the Spanish
American war somebody's friend
told somebody's friend told some.
body's cousin that somebody's aunt
had heard some one say that a plot
was on foot to dynamite the CAPT
tol at Washington. Thirty eight
extra police were added and they
have been on the pay roll ever
since" That costs us $39,000 a
year-over $460,000 in all. But
that wasn't all the committee found,
Way back in the dusty past,
before the invention of the tele-
phone, private telegraph line
was run between the house wing
and the war department and two
telegraph operators put in charge
81, 400 a year each That was quite
a salary in those days, though ii
isn't worth looking at now in
Washington except that it is just
like finding money, for these two
telegraDhers have had nothing to
do since the telephone has taken
the place of the telegraph.
And so it goes on. The way
that Senator'S and Congressman
appoint wives, daughters and sons
to clerkship that are almost useless
is bordering on graft, but when it
comes to such detailf as told above
by Mr.. Palmer's committee it is
high time to clean house.
This is the reason the democrat
