VESSELS MUST USE
LICENSED PILOTS
Decision Of Deputy Attorney
General largest Settles
HarbOr Controversy

An important decision affecting the
pilotage regulations in the Delaware
River and Bay was handed down on
Saturday, by Deputy Attorney-General
largest, of Philadelphia, in answer
to an inquiry from George f. Sproule,
secretary to the Pennsylvania State
Board OF Commissioners Of Nayiga-
ton.
Secretary Sproule desired TO know
whether a captain of a tug boat or
other unlicensed person could tow a
vessel from any intermediate port in
side the Delaware Breakwater after
such vessel had maid full pilotage In
the Delaware River to Philadelphia
and had been berthed at an interme-
date by a regularly licensed pilot.
The Deputy Attorney-Geenral, in
opinion, declared that vessels which
have paid the full pilotage in the Del
aware River to Philadelphia and have
stopped at an intermediate port are
not to be permitted to proceed to
their destination under the charge of
an unlicensed pilot. He added that
the act of 1886 does not make it clear
that any pilot would be required un-
der the circumstances, but that IL one
is employed he must be regularly
licensed pilot.

THE NEWARK SITUATION.

HE NEWARK LEDGER while lamentng the
- acrimonious discussion that has been started
in Newark by the leasing of the water and light
plants strikes the root Of the situation when il says
that the people will not accept the leasing of
the plants. If they are valuable to company,
they are equally valuable to the town"
That is the point that The Journal has been
making during the discussion If private COM
pany can agree TO pay what the Councmen con-
slider high rental for the property, the company
evidently believes that il can make money by the
deal. II then a private company can do so, why
cannot the town itself conduct the water and
lighting plants?
According to the Newark papers extremely bit
ter feeling has been stirred up over the matter.
In many ways this condition is unfortunate for the
town, but the strenuous opposition TO the lease
shows the ever growing sentiment in favor of
municipal ownership of such public utilities and
that is good thing When there is step back
ward the people are aroused
The logical thing for Newark or for any town
OF similar size is to own its public utilities The
Couneilmen seem to think municipal ownership a
theory, but it is theory that works we'll in prac-
tce in a city that is wisely governed Do the
Councilmen imagine fora moment that conditions
are lovely under private ownership? Have they
not heard OF complaints in Wilmington of our pri-
vately owned public service corporations and the
agitation here for Public Utilities Commission
In some of the larger Pennsylvania cities the
water supply is controlled by private corporations
In two of these cities, Scranton and wiliamsport.
the complaints are almost constant and there has
been warfare between the citizens and the private
corporations
There is no guarantee that the people of Newark
will not have for complaint even if the ser
vice is furnished by private corporation The
logic OF the Newark situation is against the
Councimen.

GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE.

"A I the Washington Day exercises of the Uni
\ verSy of Pennsylvania, feature of life at
Old Penn, the chief speaker was Count Johann
Heinrich Won Bernstorf who told of the efforts
of Germany TO solve the social problems that are
now confronting all nations. The distinguished
orator summarized the relations of the German
Government TO the people as follows:
If the workman is without employment, he
said all that municipal and associate effort skill
fully co-ordinated and efficiently directed can do
10 find him work is promptly done.
IF the workman wishes to change his dwelling
the municipality has house agency of its own, at
which help can be obtained without charge. If he
wishes 10 buy to build house for himself
public funds OF various kinds-State municipal,
insurance philanthropic-are available, and many
millions Of dollars have already been advanced in
his way
IF money is wanted on loan, the municipality
acts pawnbroker and offers prompt relief VITA
absolute assurance of fair dealing.
IF the workman is in need of friendly advice
the municipal information bureau will counsel him.
IF capital and labor have fallen out the indus
trial courts offer facilities for settling the dis
agreements expeditiously and without cost
If sickness enter the workers home, the needs
OF wife and children are supplied by the insurance
fund TO which he has contributed during health
when the age of decay and helplessneSs has
GONE. pension awaits the weary soldier Of in-
fdustry.
All these practical experiments IN the science
of social government arc remarkable for their
originality"
Some call this kind Of government activity in
the welfare of the people. State Socialism, a thing
different from MARKHAM Socialism, the doctrines
Of the reds but the kind that the German Count
mentions will strike many people as very good
brand OF Socialism.
The tendency Of Governments everywhere is TO
take more active concern in the actual every
day life of the people Such activity is made nee
cssary because of the remarkable industrial de-
Velopment and the complicated questions arising
out Of the large accumulation and concentration
Of capital
One of the troubles with the present conditions
in this country is that we are using laws formu.
lated before there was great industrial develop
ment and we are seeking 10 apply those laws to
present conditions.
The antiquated fellow servant doctrine a Law
that has been grossly misused, is an illustration
OF the practice of employing theories and law,
fit for conditions of long ago to meet condition,
OF today. Hence the endeavors to change such law.

There must be progress in law as we'll as in every
thing else.

PUNISH THE .TOuGHs.v

~ OODLUMISM now and then runs rampant in
n u parts of the city, the latest victim being Mr.
George H. McGovern, Clerk OF City Council, who
was attacked by a gang of young men near his
home the other evening The police should handle
these fellows without gloves, and if guilty, they
should be sent to the workhouse an example
TO others of their kind. Young "toughs' in many
parts of the city constantly make themselves more
than nuisance by their loud, profane and bolster
Gus talk, their annoyance Of decent men and
women.
1t would be good idea if the police department
should begin a general onslaught on these rudians
and deal severely with them. The streets should
be kept clean of foul mouthed young men who

smart.
Let the law be rigdy enforced against them
In fact, along with dealing with other evils, the
question of dealing with brutes who think they
own the highways and no one has any right 70
them but themselves, is getting TO be one of the
important problems of city life. No man has
right to impose his boorshness on others, and the
law should protect respectable and decent oiti-
zens from the outrages perpetrated by the So
called gangs of "toughs" who infest various neigh
borhoods.

NO NEED OF DELAY.

T WOULD be great note if, after all the hub
- bub over the good roads question, nothing
should be done In some quarters there is dis
position to put the whole thing over until the
next session of the Legislature.
The Sussex Republican suggests this course, for
it believes that the constitution should be amended
in order legally TO build a State highway. Perma-
nent improvements can wait two years longer, il
says. But, why wait? We have been waiting for
many years for such Improvements as good roads
and nothing can be gained by delay.
New Castle county should continue to improve
ITS roads regardless of what the Legislature does
or what Kent and Sussex do. The people here
know the value of good roads by actual demonstra-
ton and they are going 70 keep on getting them.

Little Pay in the Office. Says DIR. Mes
sick of LeWes.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Your editorial published about two
weeks ago in relation to an increase of
salary for the coroner of Sussex coun-
ty; in which you opposed the passage
of the bill now pending before the Leg
islature for an increase from eight
hundred dollars per annum, the pres
ent salary, to eleven hundred per an
mum on the ground that as the duties
of the coroner of Sussex county did
not involve very much work. the pres
ent salary of eight hundred per an
mum was sufficient did injustice to tho
measure and doubtless injured the
passage of the bill
Instead of the duties of the coroner
of Sussex county being less than those
of the other counties they are relative
~ much greater and the expenses also
are much greater, because of the great
er amount of territory over which he
has to travel and the inferior facili-
ties TOT IldNel III comparison WIN lne
other counties. Sussex county en-
braces nearly one-half of the whole
State. and the roads are generally
worse than i'm the other counties. This
involves more time at a greater cost
of travel. The predecessor of the pres
ent coroner during his two years of
service, attending two hundred and
ninety cases and the present incum-
bent in his two months has had ten
cases. His travelling expenses alone
have amounted to over fifty dollars or
five dollars for each case Should no
attend 290 it is very evident that there
is little in the office for service and
time outside of his travelling expenses.
Il seems to be only just and fair that
the coroner of Sussex county should
receive salary as large as the other
counties and his constituents hope that
the Legislature may see it in this light
and pass the bill granting this in
crease.
Truly yours.

SIMPLIFIED BALLOT LAW.

HE DOVER REPUBLICAN comes out strong
- ly for a smplihed ballot There has been
much complaint of the present ballot and as the
Republican says voters assistants arc needed by
many voters The large number of discarded bal
lots after every election shows that a great many
people either do not know how to prepare their
ballots properly or they willfully deface them 1t
is hardly likely that they do the latter.
On the other hand there is no doubt that there
have been abuses under the voters assistant law.
The course then is obvious-repeal the present bal
lot law and substitute a simpler method of voting
The Republican State convention called for a
simplihed ballot; no one in particular vigorously
defends the present law Why then, should we
