RECALL ELECTION IN TACOMA.

n SPECIAL recall election is being held in
"A Tacoma Washington today ofdecide the
fate OF Mayor Fawcett, who is charged with in
competency and extravaganza IN Office. The can
didates besides the Mayor are w w Seymour,
wealthy business man, and A. G. Barth, Socialist
The recall election, it is said, was prompted by
the liquor interests because Mayor Fawcett Sc
cured the passage by City Council of the anti
treating ordinance which forbids men to treat to
drinks in saloons.
This ordinance approved at the referendum
vote recently held in Tacoma the women voting
almost solidy in support of the ordinance The
question now agitating the politicians is whether
the women will support the author Of the anti
treating measure They may throw their votes to
Seymour; they may support the Socialist candi-
date; they may divide
SO far experience has shown that women voters
are but little inclined towards radicasm. Women
voted in the school election in Milwaukee the other
day and routed the well-organized Socialist ma
chine. II is a curious fact that although the Soc
alst and radical parties in Europe have stood for
equal rights and equal voting privileges for women,
in most instances where such rights have been
obtained women have not rallied TO the support
of the radical or Socialistc party
They seem to be rather conservative in handling

COMPLIMENT TO THE GOVERNOR.

OVERNOR PENNEWlLL is TO be one of the
NJ speakers before the coming annual meeting
of the American Academy Of Political and Social
Science TO be held the latter part of the week in
Philadelphia His subject will be progressive leg
isaton. 1t is good thing to have men engaged
in practical politics address organizations that rep
resent the latest development in current economic
thought
The Governor an several occasions has shown
that he is in touch with the times that he realizes
the changes going on in economic, social and po
liticsl conditions Men in public life must keep up
with these subjects
Conditions are far different from what they
once we're. and the striking feature Of the change
is the increase of governmental activity in indus
trial life The old doctrine Of the English econo-
msts, the doctrine Of Herbert Spencer and such
philosophers and the doctrine held by the earlier
Democrats in this country was that the State
should interfere but little with the people The
esstgovernment is the best, they say
The massng and concentrating of capital the
big factory taking the place of the little one the
close intercommunication of the people, however,
have Knocked out the non-interference principle.
1t used to be held that selfnterest would make
act for the welfare Of the public; that no leg
islation was needed
But experience has proved that seif-interest
does not force TO act for the best interests of
the community The law must often step in and
compel men TO "be good" as far as the law can
do Hence we have pure food laws, milk in
specton laws, examiners of weights and measures
and Government interference with railroad and
other great corporations
This increased governmental activity is the
most significant fact in country's development
today II is wide in its effects. All States through
the Legislatures are forced 10 meet new condi-
tions Delaware may have been somewhat back
ward in grasping the full meaning Of some of these
changes. but our recent Legislature made be-
ginning and the progressive legislation that comes
in the future will be sane and reasonable.
The Academy of Political and Social Science of
Philadelphia, the New York Academy connected
with Columbia University, and the American Eco
nomic Association are perhaps the foremost bodies
IN the country that consider social and industrial
questions
The Journal considers it high compliment to
Governor Pennewill that he should he invited TO
address the Philadelphia society and present his
views TO an organization which represents some
Of the most learned sociologsts and political econ
omists in the country.

A SOCIALIST IN CONGRESS.

HERE is considerable talk about the presence
= of one Socialist member, Mr.. Berger, of Mil
waukee, in the new Congress, whose sessions be-
gan in Washington today
Mr.. Berger announces that he shall stand for
measures for the benefit Of the working classes
no matter by whom they will be introduced. He
also states that the Socialist party is in favor of
taking over and operating through the Govern
ment all the industries wherein the laws of COM
petition cease to act and which have become
trusts and monopoes in order that the producer
may obtain his full product and that equal op-
portunity may be secured TO all men"

Commencement.

Despite the intense oppressiveneSs
last Sunday morning, the chapel of the
A. & Nj. College was thronged to excess
all eager to hear the annual sermon of
DR.. s. e. Huey of ST. Louis, Mo. Since
the college was founded thirty years
ago, some of the abest devines in the
country have spoken from its pulpit,
but it is generally conceded by all who
to rank with the very best of those
which have preceded it, and meyer be-
fore did a preacher command closer at
tention or make more favorable i'm
preston upon his hearers than he.
DR.. Huey took his text from 'ColloS-
SLAMS 1-1S" That in all things he
might have pre-eminence. His theme
was 1.-THE Pathway to Power" His
sermon throughout was logical and con-
vlncing, and his language erndite and
polished.
Without celebrating the program, for
the exercises was as whole carried
out in each and every particular. All
the young men acquitted themselves
most creditably.
The annual address Wednesday, by
Hon. Clarence Poe, subject "How to
build up Mississippi and the South. :"
eIoquently delivered, logical, torceful
and well received.
Surely there is a great future for our
State and the South; our great Agricul-
tural & Mechanical College has been
and will continue to be one of the great
est factors in bringing about the object
so much desired.
We are still of the opinion that the
State is most fortunate in having DR.. j.
G. Hardy at the helm, the president of
the A. & M. College, the pride of Mis-
sissippi.
We have great institution that is
worthy of the support of all good people.
Next session promises to be more sue
cessfnI than the one just closed it being
the most prosperous in the history of
the ns titution.

introduced the speaker of the day, Rev.

Hon. V. o. Robertson, who was unable
to come. Subject: "The Benefit of a
a Farmers Warehouse"
Mr. Wilson is an up-to-the-mark speak
er and held his audience splendidly.
He is not typical straight-laced Pres
byterian Parson, but man from among
physical and temporal needs as we'll as
their spiritual welfare. After dinner,
la picnic, the address of Mr.. Wilson
was continued in which he answered
any questions asked by the audience re-
garding the operations of the Ware

words.
Mr.. D. E. Rainey also made short
direct appeal to the people to support
the institution.

Nothing has appealed to our people
so much as the warehouse since the

few years ago. Since we were defeated
in our efforts to obtain that, We are all
the more determined to secure the next
best thing. The warehouse is a sure
thing, and we are coming out of the rut
