THE RETURN OF MIR. MASSEY.

HE report that some influential Delawsreans
intend, If possible, to hand Mr.. George "
Massey an election to the United States Senate
on his return TO Delaware, if he does come back
to this State TO lve-and he would be cordially
welcomed--is interesting as recalling the stirring
times of years ago in the Republican party in
which Mr. Massey was one Of the conspicuous
figures.
II is doubtful whether Mr. Massey cherishes an
ambition to go TO the Senate, although an election
10 so high place IS something that few men re-
fuse It is reasonably certain that Mr.. Massey
will make no determined fight for the honor. His
active participation in Delaware politics occurred
years ago and since that time new and Younger
and ambitious political potentstes have jumped on
the stage who are not likely to surrender SEN
atorshp without struggle.
Even when he was actively engaged in Della.
ware affairs, Mr.. Massey was defeated for the
senate by Mr.. Higgins, and the Kent county in.
huenees with which Mr.. Massey trained even
though ably assisted by certain political leaders
IN this city, were unable TO gain such a control
over the Republican party in Delaware as to per-
init them to elect Senator There NAV be Q
curious twist in the political situation of Della
ware which would result in demand that Mr.

FARNRURST TRUSTEES
GO TO GOVERNOR

The eleventh annual report Of the
trustees for the Insane, at Farnhu st,
is completed, and has been forwarded
to the Governor.
It shows the following. Appropria-
ton, $4,000; deficiency, Ss,011.69;
improvements, IS 600. The population
has increased within two years from
42l to 467.
There is also shown the fact that
the trustees have given their personal
Endorsement to provide for the deficit
Of Ss,011.6e.
The cost per day per patient was
SO cents, an increase of l3 cents per
day over that of two years ago.
The board estimates that Sl45,0O0
will be needed for the maintenance Of
the hospital for the ensuing two years.
The board will recommend to ths
State Legislature that some action be
taken looking to the care Of patients
suffering from senile dementia, whicn
places many absolutely helpless and
enfeebled persons in their care.

Editorial Opinion
4 single Tax City.

Boston Post
The attention of political econo-
mists is Just now attracted 10 the mar
velous little city of Edmondton, Al
berta. which, after a sufficiently long
trial of the single tax system, pro-
nounces It so good that It would not
return TO the ancient plan.
In Edmondton the owner OF unim-
proved land must pay Just as large a
tax as his neighbor who may have on
his lot a costly building. No more
is q premium put on arrested devel-
opment, nor are spectators encouraged
TO hold on TO their unimproved land to
make money through the enterprise Of
owners around them. They must sell
OF build. or else find their land value
eaten up by taxation. The thing Is
simple. and it appears TO be enec-
tive.
Edmondton certainly thrives under
the single tax and municipal owner
ship. In eight years the city has ad
vanced from q population Of $500 &C
% 900, and when the suburb Of Strath'
coma is added the population will be II
the nighborhood OF $4,000.

quently met with surprised and
naughty refusal. The position taken
was that the small investor should be
grateful Of the opportunity to come in
and that inuuisitiveness on his part
was impertinent AS for the general
public, the assumption was that it had
no right whatever to any kind Of in
formation
Now the rights Of the public are
better understood A corporation, to
begin with, can not exist without the
permission Of the public The pub
lie protects il and affords II the means
Of doing business. Its transactions
are with the public. It's employees,
its stockholders and its officers are a
part Of the public Acknowledgment
OF the fact that the public is benefited
OF injured, according as the affairs OF
the corporation are conducted, cannot
be evaded.
Why, then should not the corpora
tions keep their books open? It is
demanded as a business precaution
where their stock is offered to the
public for purchase. II is a right
which. the public can insist upon in
all cases.

REFORMS SUGGESTED.

HE DELMAR NEWS suggests several re.
forms which II thinks should come out OF
the present session of the Legislature II thinks
that the present system of county tax collectors
IN Sussex should be abolished and county re-
ceiver named who should gather all the taxes
Some OF the county Offices should be consolidated
The present road law should be abolished, it
says, and law should be passed which would
compel the Levy Court 10 build good roads under
system similar to that Of the Shoemaker law
in Maryland good State road should be built
These suggestions and some others made by
the News have, take it, but one object-the
saving of the taxpayers money which now goes
to various persons and the converting of that
money into permanent improvements for the bene-
fiji OF the county Other newspapers Of the State
have discussed public questions in a similar man
ner, and no doubt y sentiment will soon be ere
ated and the people aroused so that they will de-
mand that every bit of waste shall be cut out
Everyone who thinks Of these matters believes
that we should have more public Improvements
in Delaware and voters are beginning TO realize
the fact that much money which now goes to
ohieeholders could be used towards permanent
improvements. The present method is a survival
o! the older days when il was the plan to create
as many Offices as possible provide as many per-
sons with places as possible and thus create
political machine
When the vast percentage Of the money re-
ceived IN taxes which goes into the pockets of
offceholders is considered no one doubts that re-
form could be made. The expenses Of govern
ment in most States are entirely too high There
are many useless officials drawing pay from the
public treasury Delaware is small State and
the best possible use should be made of the money
collected by taxation and we shall have little
money for permanent improvements unless we are
wise in our disbursements

NEW CHARTER
FOR COLLEGE
Questions Asked About the
Affairs at Old Delaware

Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL;-Apropos Of the new charter
for Delaware College, I should like to
make a few inquiries through your
columns, which ! hope may awaken
public interest in one Of the most
important measures to come before
the present Legislature.
Is 1t true that less than half the
trustees manage affairs at the college,
on account OF there being no COM
mittees-and that this minority in
turn are controlled by a community
of interests of a few?
Is it true that important matters
are decided without making them
known to the whole board?
Why is it that some trustees serve
on more than one committee when a
majority of the trustees are on no
committees?
Why is it that the State has no rep
resentative on the Prudential Commit
tee-the most important, and that the
Committee on Instruction and Disci-
pline, the second in importance is
composed Of a majority Of the origi-
nal board?
Why is it necessary to have thirty
trustees, if fourteen do the work?
Has the new charter been carefully
prepared by the committee appointed
for that purpose-or has it been pre-
pared by or under the direction of the
few trustees mentioned above as a
Community OF Interests?
If this latter is the case hadn't the
college better get along on another
temporary charter-while a new COM
mittee prepares a new charter in the
inter est Of the State, rather than in
the interest OF any trustee, trustees
or other individuals
Doesn't economy seem to demand
the best charter that can be drawn?
DO the trustees have a rule prevent
ing professor in the college from
holding any other position?
Ii they do, how Is il possible that
Z the minister in the Newark Presby.
terian Church holds a job at the col
lege as a full professor?
And if they don't, is it not highly
improper to mix any denomination in
/ the affairs Of the college?
Is it not true that a large majority
Of the board are Presbyterians, and il
view Of this isn't the above instance
| full OF meaning?
Is there a Committe of Trustees II
authorize expenditures before they are
! made?
If so, why are all appropriation:
over-expended?
When the State appropriates money
! to the farm or college, is any return
ever made 10 show If the money wal
spent as intended, if not. why not?
Does the board maintain any up
to-date system of accounting, seps
rately, for the farm and college-if so
why is the yearly report not publish
ed and circulated throughout th'
State?
Is there any regulation covering thu
travels of the professors or otherI
outside the State?
II not, who pays the bills?
Should this matter be regulated?
Why do some people connected witt
the colleeg want this new charter u
disturb nothing?
viii the new charter prevent
clash of authority between the presi
dent Of the college and the director o
the farm and Experimental Station?
Is II true that q mule was bough
for the farm and shipped by express
and afterwards sold for less than tn
State paid for it? II so, does tn
board authorize such operations?
Is it true that favored citizens re

PICKP0CKET KNOWN HEREHEhD
One of Cleverest Gets Fifteen Years
Sentence at Spokane.

Spokane, WASH, June12.-(Daily
Pioneer Special Service. flames
Howard, known to the police of
many cities in the United States and
Canada under score of aliases as
one of the cleverest pick-pockets on
the continent, has started to serve
an indeterminate term of from
three to Is years in the state peni-
Tertiary at Walla Walla. He was
sentenced by Judge E. H. Sullivan
of the Spokane county superior
court, after pleading guilty to
charge of grand larceny. Though
he has been arrested on numerous
occasions, he was convicted only
once prior to coming to Spokane,
last spring. He served two years
following conviction at Aberdeen,
S. D., in 1904. He pleaded guilty
here to prevent being taken to New
York, where he had forfeited bond
of $4,000. He also is wanted in
Memphis, Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Louis. Howard was arrested
here on April 8, charged with steal
ing $3.50 from George Wheeler,
while watching parade in honor of
Colonel Roosevelt. He had large
amount of money, of which he Of
fered $1,000 to local attorney to
clear him in the police court.

City Agent Of Spokane Admits It
Wrong to Drag Men From Here.

That the west is overrun with
help and that persons in this part
Of the country who look toward the
string sun as a land of promise
will find, if they proceed there,
that are chasing rainbow, is shown
by a frank admission made by City
Labor Agent Sam Evans of Spokane
who says frankly in the Spokane
Chronicles:
"Spokane seems to be the clear
ing house for laborers for the entire
northwest. There are more workings
men, here. than will be used this
year, and yet more are coming from
the east every day.
II am told by those coming from
the east that the railroads and the
chamber of commerce are distribute
ing great deal of advertising mat
ter through the east, claiming there
is a scarcity of men and plenty of
work here, and that it is no trouble
to get work at good wages.
"This is bringing many people
who are stranded almost as soon as
they arrive"
