Rear Admiral Sperry.

Baltimore American.
1t is given to some naval officers
even in times of peace to do the things
that make history. OF this fortunate
class was Rear Admiral Charles r.
Sperry, who performed feat that will
furnish tales for future telling-a
feat that ranked without a parallel and
that gave this country a naval distinc-
ton 1t had never before achieved
This was the taking of the great At
lantic fleet around the waters of the
world a cruise that was effected with
out any kind of mishap and that as
tonished the nations. Starting from the
Golden Gate, where he received the
feet from Fighting Bob Evans, who
had piloted it from Hampton Roads,
Admiral Sperry entered upon the
cruise that was regarded as being a
warning to Japan that the naval forces
of this country would be found ade-
quate for any need that might arise
from quarrels between the two pow
ers.
The fleet put to sea with full stores
and ammunition. and could have gone
into action at the drop Of a hat II
proved to be the most pacific under
taking the country had ever entered
upon. The war cloud that was murky
and troublesome blew away, and no
where did the fleet receive a more cor
dial reception than in the Far East
where it was hailed with jubilation

wARRENs sENTENCE COMMITTED.

NJ ERY properly President Taft has commuted
the sentence of Fred Warren, Editor of the
Socialist organ, the Appeal to Reason Warren
was convicted of violating the postal regulations
by printing in large red letters on envelopes,
notices of $1,000 reward to any person who should
kdnap former Governor Taylor of Kentucky and
return him TO the authorities Of that State The
notices we're sent through the mails. Taylor was
wanted IN Kentucky for alleged completely in the
assassination of Governor Goebel Of Kentucky.
Warren was sentenced by Western Federal Court
to six months Imprisonment and TO pay fine of
$780, President Taft has reduced the punish
ment to a mere fine of 500 to be collected by
civil process and Warren will not be forced to go
TO prison.
The imposition of the original sentence by the
the Socialists and their friends and mass meetings
of protest have been held throughout the coun-
try One meeting was held in this city.
At the time of the imposition OF the sentence
The Journal remarked that the punishment was
excessive considering the offence.
Mr.. Tafts committing of the severe sentence
is a fitting rebuke to the Federal Court that in
flicted the punishment
Some people have the mistaken idea that the
way to knock out Socialists or other persons that
they dislike is to put them in prison. but no move
such methods. Mr. Warrens chance of posing as
martyr TO the cause is rudey shattered, but
we fancy that the editor would prefer to manage
his paper from his sanctum rather than from
penitentiary cell.

BOYS AND CITIZENSHIP.

HE LEAGUE OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP IN
Il the Chester Public Schools has been dong
so commendabe work that it has been attracting
notice in other places. The League is method
of making small boys want 70 assume their share
Of civic responsibilities in regard TO city streets
and their own back Yards Members Of the Chester
League are pupils in the fourth grade and above
of several OF the schools. Their duties are TO
keep the golden rule; 10 refrain from throwing
paper. bits of fruit, or refuse lof any kind into
the streets alleys or yards of the city; TO refrain
from defacng property and to keep the laws. This
is an ambitious undertaking for the average small
boy.
One OF the good women of Chester interested
in the movement explained that the League
started by the Civic Committee of the New Cen
tury Club. The boys we're asked to sign cards
and pledge themselves TO obey the rules of the
League. The meetings we're conducted with the
utmost decorum and much progress has been
made. The League is popular with teachers and
pupils. There is a similar organization in con-
necton with some of the Wilmington public
schools which is doing the same work as that Of
Chester.
There is plenty Of room for such efforts to con-
troi the boys and educate them in right living. No
one familiar with the conduct of boys at night or
during the day but believes that better training
is needed. Many boys who the streets are
young rdfans in all their actions using profanity
and indecent language in shocking manner
There is entirely too much rowdyism in the cities
and in country towns also for that matter
All such misconduct reflects upon the parents
of such children primarily, but also upon the
schools. Unless education produces well-round-
ed young man of decent behavior, of consideration
for others, it is one sided and more or less of a
failure.

The New York Press, one Of the leading pro-
teehonist newspapers of the country, thinks that
when the American people want thing they are
going to have it if possible. The Press points out
that the people voted in disapproval of the Payne
tariff law at the last election and for reduction
in the tariff Hence as step in that direction the
Canadian Tariff treaty should be approved. If
it does not work satisfactorily it can be abolished.
There is, Of course, considerable objection to the
treaty and one Of our own oranges has pro-
nounced against it, if it affects the farmers The
farmers have had taste of high prices and they
don't want to see them lowered.

A WORD no coRRECr A MIssTATEMENT.

- PEAKING of Senator DUPONT, The Dover
- News says that He has some valuable
sets left, however, one of the most valuable of
which, we opine, is the Wilmington Journal" If
the News means by this that Senator DUPONT owns
a controlling interest in The Journal or any other
kind of interest or has any say either directly
Indirectly in this newspaper it is making erron-
eous statement.
The Journal is owned by three men who work
on the paper and by another man who is not iden-
tilted with politics They put up their own money
and no politician has a finger in this newspaper
in any way We supposed that a newspaper us
ually so we'll informed as the State News knew
This
The effort on the part OF some people TO make
persons believe that The Journal has telephone
owner" or that it is 10 do the bidding Of this
cr that man behind the scenes is a failure. II
may seem strange TO some persons in the news
paper business, who are used 10 taking orders from
politicians of high or low degree, or from some
other persons with axes TO grind, that The Jour
nal does not belong TO their class. We do not often
refer TO our own affairs, but it is provoking to
see some persons unntentonally perhaps trying
to give credit where it does not belong
We are glad that the News thinks The Journal
is a valuable asset. but il is not Colonel duPont's
and he is no more responsible for anything that
appears in The Journal than is General Kenney.

TENDENCY TOWARDS COMBINATION.

HE Bell and Independent telephone interests
II of New York are TO be consolidated, ac-
cording TO the president of the independents II
King" J. Perpont Morgan, who is engineering
the merger, gives the independents square deal
Conferences are being held to arrange the
terms. and the Independents are anxious TO un-
load because they cannot stand what they term
the runous competition 81 the Bell Company. The
INDEPENDENTS are unwilling to give in unless the
merger is made ON ah equitable basis. Inc bell
people, the Independents admit, have the better OF
the fight because they have great stronghoids
such as New York city where they have no COM
petition. and where it may be added, they soak
their patrons to the fullest extent
But the story Of the proposed merger is simply
what happens 10 practically all the public SER
vice corporations in the end. They get together
People complain of rates, some promoters think
there is chance to profit by the cry OF compet-
ton and they organize or try to organize a new
company They secure or try TO secure fran
chise. Most of their capital is wind They begin
business the old company fights them and re-
duccs rates 10 meet the competitions
Then the dear people who had been talking
about competition and declaring what blessing
it would be, decide TO stick by the old company
because Of the lower rates and the new company
is left in the cold, or nearly so. Then comes the
merger and the monopoly That is the history
of most competitive efforts in the field of pub
lie service corporations. The cry OF competi-
tion, however, is not heard much as it was
formerly The people are gradually finding out
what political economists who write on these mat
ters told them years ago, which is that there can
be no real permanent competition between pub
lie utilities.
The people are learning that regulated monopoly
in such business is better than competition and
that is why many States have Public Utilities Com
missions and many other States are trying to get
them. Even in Pennsylvania Governor Tener has
spoken In favor of a Public Service Commission.
Most owners of Public Service Commissions them
selves prefer commissions to the situation of be-
ing prey to the wes OF promoters and men
eager TO secure franchises for the purpose of un-
loading them on companies that already are in the
field or on persons who still think that if you have
public service franchise your path to riches is
plain and straight.
