WILL PUNISH LOBBYISTS
Prosecutor Says Men Who Put Up Money Must AnsWer-Surface
 Only Scratched,

Columbus, O., May 6.--Pleas of not guilty were entered by the five mem bers of the Ohio legislature, indicted for alleged bribery, as well as by the senate sergeant-at-arms, charged with acting as go-between
 Although the grand jury has ad- journed until next Monday, it became known that startling evidence already has been presented before it against not only other legislators themselves, but against the lobbyists and the cor porations alleged to have been putting up the poodle.
 Prosecutor Turner reiterated the statement that indictments already are pending against two more sena- tors and the latter, whose names are known, already have arranged for bonds.
 The indictments so far and those that may be returned" Turner said. are merely for the purpose of show ing that the grand jury means pusi- ness. However. these are only a scratch on the surface, and when we get through with the legislators them selves, we shall go after the lobbyists and then after the bigger interests that are primarily responsible for this mess"

WHAT ONE CITY is DOING

TN VIEW of the trouble that Wilmington has
a been having with the Wilmington and Phila-
delpha Traction Company because Of the strip
ticket matter, and in view of the complaints about
the high charges for electricity, complaints that
have inspired a promoter to seek a fran
chise for new plant, the correspondence printed
in another column between Mr. Kenworthey, who
recently held the Office of City Auditor, and the
officials Of Holyoke Mass, a city of some 10000
inhabitants, will make interesting reading.
The Massachusetts city. il will be noticed, owns
it's own lighting plants, gas and electricity and
the plants are valued now at considerably less than
S20O0000, a much lower valuation than that
claimed for similar utilities in this city.
This means Of course that the people OF the city
OF Holyoke should be taxed in the way of charges
not nearly so much as they are in Wilmington.
The actual working Of municipal ownership in
Hoyoke is set forth in the correspondence, and
it shows the possibilities of municipal ownership
in well regulated city. At the.same time it i'm
presses the thought upon us OF what might have
been done in Wilmington

PLEASURE.

II HE educational institutions have opened with
4 larger number of students than ever be-
FORE the number more than keeping pace with the
growth Of population. Educational courses in the
higher institutions Of learning are more expen-
sive than ever. They have chmed in with the high
cost Of living.
Prices of food arc higher than ever and there
is no sign that they will fall The more kicking,
the higher go the prices. The markets are full
OF people buying even at the high prices, and
some of them pay any old price" no matter how
high
OF Saturday night the streets of Wilmington
are filed with people. Each Saturday night the
crowd seems to be becoming larger. Many Of the
stores, especially the candy stores, doing
rushing business. In some of the candy stores
you have to exercise patience if you wish to be
waited on.
People dress better than ever before. Notice the
young men and the young women. People are
more bent on pleasure than ever, and they seem
to have money without limit for pleasure There
are great crowds at the moving picture shows, and
more picture places constantly springing up.
Let circus come TO town at any time and it can
pick up thousands OF dollars A great deal Of
money is spent for beer and other drinks and for
tobacco.
All this appears on the surface and yet most
people say that times are hard. How do they
! get the money? is the question some persons ask
who cannot reconcile the apparently lavish expend-
itures with talk that work is slack.
On the other hand we read that the city has
determined 10 collect the money owing in taxes
and such determination is going to work hard
ship on people who are behind in their taxes If
a great deal of money is owed the city it may
be that a great deal is owed others and that peo-
pie are taking money which should be spent for
necessary purposes and devoting it to pleasure.
But If So how are they able to work that kind Of
scheme indefinitely?

DELAWARE FARM LAND.

n NE of the interesting exhibits at the recent
~ New Castle County Fair was that from the
Demonstration farm Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company at Bacon. Sussex county. The display
of vegetables made by the company shows
more that old worn out farm can be made TO
pay under careful management. When the farm
was purchased about two years ago the land was
in a seemingly hopeless state of depletion.
The following varieties of vegetables from this
land held their own as to quality when shown be-
side those raised on improved farms; Pumpkins,
cucumbers, potatoes, yams, sugar beets, mangle
worzel, peanuts lima beans, wax beans, onions
cantaloupes, tomatoes peppers, radshes, egg
plants, okra, watermelons, raspberries, corn, rhu-
barb, scullions, squash, satisfy, eeks, alfalfa,
pickles, cotton, peaches, and ripe Strawberries in
pots
The farm is making practical demonstration
of what can be done with even what was sup
posed to be poor land. 1t is making clear that
scientific methods in agriculture will bring fat
crops from the fertile lands of the Delaware Mary
land-Virgnia peninsula, no matter how barren
misuse may have made them appear.
The railroad company is doing splendid work
in proving the basic value of Delaware land and
in pointing out what Delaware farms should be-
All of which suggest again the idea that there
should be in Delaware a competent bureau of pub
lcity, a central body from which should proceed
information concerning Delaware and her re-
sources
The address OF Mr.. England before the Board
of Trade at its recent meeting told of the opinion
OF Mr.. MacLean on the matter. We should have
group of public spirited men in Delaware to
take hold of this problem of developing Delaware
and informing the world in an intelligent and per-
sstent manner about the natural resources of the
state. There ought to be concerted action, the
railroad companies, the Boards of Trade in the
different towns the State Board of Agriculture
the Grangers and other organizations working
together for the common good
Some day this will be done, but why should
there be indefinite postponement? Even be-
fore the state road is completed a publicity
development bureau or something of that kind
should be established Perhaps IL would not be
out OF place for some of our public men to make
the initial move. Governor Pennewill no doubt
would take lively interest In many other states,
especially in the west conventions of all kinds fol-
low one another in rapid succession, conventions
having in-mnd plans for the development of those
regions. Large sums Of money are spent for the
purpose The amount secured for entertainment
and the like and for booming is astonishing, seen
through eastern eyes.
In Delaware we should not be content TO sit
still and to permit few individuals or corpora
tions actually TO push the state forward. The
people themselves in larger numbers should lend
helping hand, for if they did So the state would
make far more progress than is even dreamed Of
at present

RAMPANT PATRIOTISM.

o Frederick F. Frelinghuysen, OF
Tuxedo Park. was discussing at a
luncheon at Narragansett Pier the
subject of patriotism.
Modern thinkers tell us" he said.
that patriotism is disappearing, that
mans mind is so developing that he
can now love not only his own coun-
try and his own people but other
countries and other peoples as we'll.
These modern thinkers claim that
there remains little of that old, mar
row feeling which prompted the vii
lager TO say: There goes a stranger; /;
heave a brick at him.
But, be this as it may" continued
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, 81 find patriotism
most ardent among the worlds most
highly civilized nations Yes, there
are no patriots anywhere like those
of France.
"The Frenchman loves his country
so well that he never-or practically
never-emigrates once knew in
Paris a poor man who to better his
fortune emigrated to New York. But
he returned TO Paris again after a
few years.
How did you do in America? I

"'Oh, very WE'LL he answered.

ing forth at the crowded and gay

the plants being owned by the Holy
oke Water Power Company with no
capital set aside for them separate
from the rest of their holdings.
90 What price and terms were de-
manded by the Holyoke Water Power
Company when your city offered TO
purchase their property" AS under
stood IL. the city had no thought OF
buying the lighting plants, when il
voted to go into municipal lighting
It's idea was to build an electric plant
and simply light it's streets and muni-
cipal buildings; but the law gave the
company, If they so elected, the power
to force the city to take its plants.
That the company did, and offered
them to the city for S1,000.000.
(3) Can you state roughly the con-
ditions leading up to the desire of the
citizens to purchase the above mem
toned plants?' General dissatisfac-
tion with the company, with the inn
mediate cause. the refusal Of the
company to enter into a contract with
the city to furnish the arc street
lights at less than 500 per year per
light for every night and all night
lights.
(4) What is the approximate an
nual cost of maintenance, and annual
volume Of business of the gas plant
and the electric plant7' The cost
of maintenance for the gas works fog
the year ending June 30, 1911. was
/ S117, ,O41; of the electric station, S146.-
/ S55. with receipts from the former OF
Si79,OO3. and from the latter, S246.-
Ola. The total amount Of gas made
was 1893 ,00O.0 900 cubic feet. The total
amount of electricity generated was
10.1SO,470 kilowatts.
(5) "Is your electric current al
generated by water powerg If not
about what percentage" There is Z
water power OF 1000 H. P attached tC
the station; but II is a very uncertain
quantity. We have Il 10 use but littl'
over fifty per cent. of the time W.
are sending out over 5000 II. ?. ever,
working day through the daylight
hours. while our peak load has run uI
as high as 800 II. p. The current
generated by both water and steam
power goes on the same bus bars. 50
we are unable to state the percentag'
of current generated by either.
(6) Il am advised that your charge
for electricity for power purposes Is
from one and one-haif cents TO two
and one-half cents. MAY I ask wheth-
er the difference in rate is based upon
the quantity consumed" I am en-
