In accepting Guthrie's proposition,
the opinion is that political methods
were used and that the best PROPOSE
ton was not chosen. Three Okla
homa City and one Enid offer were
turned down, all of them apparently
better than that accepted. j. NJ. Put
nam of Oklahoma City offered a
campus of suitable size and $25O,OOO
endowment. The Oklahoma City com
pany offered two propositions. one
of 40 acres as a campus and 100
acres and 100000 as an endowment,
and the other Of a 40-acre campus,
100000 endowment and a park and
athletic grounds containing SO acres.
The committee, of which Rev. J. 7.
Riley of Oklahoma City, is chair
man. met Wednesday morning in
Oklahoma City to consider the local
proposition. and then went to Guth-

Scott Church Revival Meeting

Scott Church was filled last night

evangelistic services conducted by L.

music and the services were inspiring.
They continue every day this week.
including Saturday night.
In Asbury Church, last night. the

brated. The Rev. Howard T. Quigg
presided and after several pleasing
selections by the choir of Harrison
Street Church, the speaker Of the

MR.. BRANDEIs UNATTACHED.

NONE of the big railroad companies has yet Sc
V cured the services of Mr.. Louis D. Brandeis,
the apostle of scientific management of railroads.
Mr. Brandeis won his suit before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and he is still willing to
give the country the benefit of his knowledge
about railroads. He has suggested that the Gov
ernment shall have a railroad experimental station
a sort of bureau TO tell the railroads how TO keep
up with what Mr.. Brandeis believes are modern
methods. Perhaps the attorney would be willing
10 head the bureau.
Some people thought that the men who manage
the railroads knew something about their own
business but according TO the Brandeis view they
do not. They should have a bureau TO instruct
them. And yet one who had seen the magnificent
Pennsylvania railroad station in New York city
would fancy that the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany knew just a little bit about engineering
almost much bureau could tell it.
But we are surprised that Mr. Brandeis is al
lowed TO remain unattached. If he knows half
as much as he evidently thinks he knows about
railroading he shoGld be a valuable nan to any
railway corporation.

RUSH OF RuSINESS.

7 LOOKS as if there would be a rush of busi-
- ness during the closing hours of the Legisla-
ture, and this is to be regretted. Every one had
high hopes of the present session of the Legisa-
ture- There we're preliminary meetings on the
part of the Wilmington members and the indi-
cations we're that we should have session which
would be very profitable TO the State
AS it is at present the popular judgment of the
Legislature hangs in the balance. There is yet
time for the members to enact some constructive
measures that will do great deal towards making
the present session profitable one in the minds
of the people
Unfortunately the Legislature started off badly
with considerable friction, and the members do not
seem to have recovered entirely from the effects
of the bad start. 1t would be a pity if we should
be forced to wait for two more years before laws
could be enacted which would keep Delaware on
the march.

WHAT WILL BE THEIR FATE?

WHAT will be the fate of the Wilmington
" Charter Commission bill intended to enable
the citizens of Wilmington to determine for them
selves the form of municipal government they
would have? Surely the Legislature is not going
to refuse to provide for a commission which shall
consider the question of the form of government
for this city.
What will be the final fate of the Public Utili-
ties Commission bill for Wilmington proposed as
a most necessary measure TO protect the public in
dealing with the public service corporations? The
Senate has unanimously passed the Monaghan BILL
and the friends of the measures looking to the
creation of Public Service Commission should
not permit legislation to that effect to fall by the
wayside
What will be the fate of the dupont boulevard
offer, one of the most important propositions that
has come before Delaware Legislature for many
a day? There should be no doubt about the pass
ing of legislation necessary for the securing of this
good road
The foregoing are three Of many important
measures which it seems TO us are of vital moment
TO the State.

ANOTHER PROFESSOR A CANDIDATE.

HE success so far of Governor Wilson. OF New
n Jersey, as a political leader has inspired other
professors TO jump into the ring and Professor
Charles E. Merriam, of the University of Chicago,
has been nominated for Mayor of that city by the
Republicans. He won the nomination in an open
primary, and declares that he has identified him
self with the "back-to-the-peope" movement How
Uncle Joe Cannon must grieve when reads such
things.
Professor Merriman delivers himself in this way:
Free government cannot continue il we are to
be ruled by grafters, spoilsmen and special inter-
ests. Government by crooks is demoralizing;
government by spoilsmen is wasteful and ineffi-
cient; government by special interests is inconss-
tent and incompatible with the protection and ad-
vancement of general interests. We must drive
out graft and the grafters; we must break the
yoke OF the spoilsmen; we must subordinate the
special interests TO the general interest of the city
(Chcago) as a whole"
The Chicago Women's Club has come out
strongly for Professor Merrman. "He is a sec
ond Woodrow Wilson" enthusiastically declares
Mrs Robert Hall Wiles, one of the leaders Of the
women He is the womens candidate for Mayor
because he has demonstrated his ability and
honesty"
When the other candidates for Mayor Of Chi
cago think of how the women of Seattle applied
the recall to an obnoxious Mayor and routed him,
they may fear the power of the women at the
polls.

PROTECTING TRUST COMPANIES.

HE bill before the Legislature for the pro-
= tecting of the word trust" as it is used in
chartering companies, if we understand it cor
rectly, entails no hardship upon any legitimate
corporation chartered under the laws of Delaware.
The bill requires companies using the word
trust in their title under the supervision
OF the Insurance Commissioner and TO make re-
ports to him as the regular trust companies Of this
State do. Under the present method innumerable
companies have been chartered in Delaware, some
OF which are merely for exploitation purposes
They hide under the highly respectable name Of
trust companies. Some of them are doing in
jury TO the State so great that representatives OF
leading strictly legitimate companies through
out the country have been forwarding letters to
this State asking that the word trust" be pro-
tected and that its use be confined only to what is
the popular conception of a trust company
Laws similar to the bill now before the Legis.
lature are in operation in almost every State in
the Union. We have been informed that the word
trust" is protected in every State excepting Della
ware and Arizona If this be correct, Delaware
is not in enviabe company in the eyes Of the out
side business world so far as the employment Of
the word trust" in corporations is concerned.

means Of a liquid containing soluble

Editorial Opinion
Lookinp After the Younr.


Baltimore American.
Never before in the recorded his
tory of the human race has there been
given such organized, systematic,
quasi-governmental attention to the
mental and moral shaping of the young
as at present. That ancient proverb
which affirmates that "As the twig is
bent the tree is inclined" tells but a
fractional part of the truth concern
ing the potential significance of early
influences in shaping or misshaping
the young. Municipal governments and
benevolent organizations have at last
grasped the truth that the early train
ing of children should mean consider
ably more than training their intellects
to an understanding of the three RS.
The providing of out-of-door play
grounds for children is comparatively
new-so new that few people even
yet look upon it as a doubtful expert
ment But those who have had oppor-
tunities of observation are convinced
beyond a doubt of the wholesome re-
sults-moral, mental and physical
attained from methods which develop
child nature by guiding and directing
the natural inclinations and instincts
instead of opposing them. The most eff
fective beneyolences-it might almost
be said the only really resultful ben
evolences-are those which undertake
the care Of children that would other
wise be improperly cared for.
