When found by the employees OF the

tattered blanket. He apparently could
not understand any OF the many ques-
lions put to him until at the doors Of
the county Jail, when he replied in an
swer that he came from New Fork.

that tramps robbed him Of his cloth

Des Moines. Dec. 19.-In deciding the
Moon law case the supreme court yes
terday held virtually that under the
old law it is necessary that the consent
of city council shall be obtained for
not unanimous, and that these city
consents depend upon the general con-
sents. 1t therefore followed that the
term of eevry license ends at the ex-
piration of the general consent period
and at the end of that period the Moon
law begins to operate and the excess

court said:
THE state has seen fit to put def
mite limit of five years to the efficiency
and life of every general consent and it
follows of necessity that consents given
to individuals by the city council must
cease and become of no effect with the
general consent upon which they are
dependent for their vitality. Whether
the word consent as used in the last
clause Of section of the statute be
construed to refer to the general con-
sent of the electors or to the resolu-
ton of consent of the city council to an
individual or both. the result is the
same. The act of the Thirty first gem
eral assembly fixing the flve-year limit
draws a line beyond which neither can
pass. The question whether the electors
will avail themselves of the privileges
and immunities of the mulct law is
then thrown open anew as II 1t had
never before been passed upon by them.

REFERENDUM DEFECT.

T HE initiative and referendum is full Of pos
Il sibilites some Of which we're probably not
contemplated by the advocates of the measure At
the recent election California voted give women
suffrage. But even before there has been a
chance to try out such suffrage a movement has
been started in the state to invoke the referen-
dun in order to nufy the action just taken.
Petitions are being prepared and will soon be
circulated it is said, for another election to de-
eide whether the constitutional provision granting
suffrage TO women shall be revoked
1t is said that new line of business" has
sprung up in California business" that is
hourishing in other states that have the referen-
dunn. This business" is that of soliciting for pay
signatures to referendum petitions 1t is easy and
profitable work, and in North Dakota it is said
that a syndicate finds it not hard to do consider
able business in calling referendum elections
During the campaign to secure franchise for
another electric lighting company in this city the
question was asked whether the canvassers we're
paid for getting signatures to petitions. The re-
ply was in the negative, although it was admitted
that bonus was offered to the canvasser who
secured a certain number Of names.
The earnest and enthusiastic advocates of the
initiative and referendum in California admit that
it will not be difficult to get sufficient signatures
to the petitions to call a election, which
means another heavy expense on the state.
One remedy for the trouble suggested in Ohio
which is expected soon to have the initiative and
referendum is TO make it unlawful to employ for
pay solicitors to secure signatures to petitions
calling for an election

Sick headache, biliousness. dizzi-

Poisonous matter cloggcd i'm the in

delicate brain tissue it causes conges-

Salts, cathartic pills, oil and purga-
tive waters force a passageway for a
day or two--yes-b they don't take
the poisons out and have no effect
upon the liver or stomach.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach. remove the
sour, undigested and fermenting food
and foul gases, take the excess bile
from the liver and carry out of the
system all the decomposed waste

that the dupont road is receiving in rural New
Castle is an indication that the people fully
alive to the benefits that will accrue from the
building of the highway
The proposed county and city building is another
contemplated improvement that means much for
the city and county. Fine public buildings are
tangible asset of any community. Wilmington
must have before long a new municipal building
and the county must have enlarged facilities for
transacting its business. 1t happens that the pro-
posed building is not merely for luxury or an add
ed and unneeded expense, but it is something inn
perative and practical. This fact is evidenced by
the practically unanimous public sentiment
throughout the city in favor of joint building
City Council has taken hold of the matter in
commendable manner and it is sincerely to be
hoped that the Levy Court and City Council will
soon be working in unison that we shall have
joint building which seems TO be the best solu-
ton of the problem Of enlarged quarters which
confronts both city and county.

STEEL CARS ON RAILWAYS.

TT WILL not be long before all the leading rail
Il ways of the country will either voluntarily
use steel passenger cars or be forced to do so by
the authorities. The purchasing of steel cars would
be great burden on many of the roads, sonfe-
thing that they could not afford to at once
and the gradual increase in the use of steel cars
may therefore be expected.
The safety of steel cars has been amply demon
strated The other day an express train on the

WINTER COMING;
RAILROADS BUSY
HuStling to Get in Shape for
Cold Weather
Traffic

The sudden appearance of cold
weather has caused considerable ac-
tivity on the part Of the railroad COM
panies in the preparation for the win
ter Usually about November 30 the
various railroad companies announce
their plans for taking care of freight
and passenger traffic during the cold
weather. This year these plans are at
least two weeks earlier. On Sunday,
November 26, there will be new
schedule in effect on the Pennsylvania
Railroad and branches, which will in
clude less and lighter trains.
Freight trains are reduced some
times as much as forty per cent. dur
ing the cold weather. and this will be
in force, commencing on or about De-
cember /. The low temperature makes
almost double the amount of motive
power necessary to draw trains, and
consequently enginemen and fremen
are having a hard time bringing their
trains in on time. Many of the trains
require assistance at graded points ir
order to make the pull
1T is hard to believe how the cold
weather affects the movement OF
freight" said a Pennsylvania Railway
freight traffic official. Weather like
this makes it necessary for trains to
be reduced as much as forty per cent
Of their usual tonnage, in order to ge;
them over the road on time.
This is the reduction that must be
made on the trains Of Baltimore, Mid
die and Pittsburg divisions, where
heavy grades and hills must be cross
ed, the pusher must be used in addi
tion to a reduction of the tonnage. En-.
ginemen and firemen arc exerting al
their efforts to keep up to the schedule

DOING MUCH WORK
ON COUNTY ROADS

Considerable work has been done by
the Levy Court this fall in the shape
Of new bridges. County Engineer
James Wilson has had proper water
courses constructed along the new
roads so that following a heavy rain
the roads will not be damaged.
From Townsend to Ginus' Corner a
road has been built by w. r. Wells,
under the supervisions of st. Georges
Hundred.
Clayton Powell is granite facing the
cutters on both sides of Cattail Bridge
hill and also making a masonry water
head on the left side going South,
through which the gutter drains away
into the run below.
On the road between the Alexander
Maxwell and r. r. Cochran farms
across Cedar Lane Run, a reinforced
concrete bride is being built and the
road at both termini is fenced on, as
teams cannot get over the bridge.
In Northern New Castle county sew
eral concrete bridges were built while
others were remodelled and reinforc-
ed. The principal bridge built in this
section was the ono at Roseville by the
Nelson Meredith Company.
