NEW NEWS of
YESTERDAY

Besides being credited with making
many important inventions in the
field of electricity, George Westing-
house. Jr., should be given the credit,
I suppose, of showing the world now
to secure natural gas by means of the
driven or artesian we'll Only compare
lively recently has natural gas been
secured in this fashion; formerly It
was captured and utilized only when
1t was known to issue from the soil Of
its own accord.
Mr.. Westinghouse, however, was for
a long time persuaded that 1t would be
possible TO drive an iron pipe into the
ground almost anywhere within an oil
producing region--natural gas and
oil usually lie in close proximity In the
earth's bowels-in the certainty that
If the pipe we're persistently driven Il

SUFFERING FROM COMPETITION

Wilmington suffers from competi-
ton because It does not offer compe-
tition. It suffers in competition with
other cities in the securing Of new
industries, in merchandising, and in
commerce. simply because it does not
offer competition. wnen It is appre-
ciated Wilmington VIII have two or
three underwriting syndicates, and
new industries will locate here by the
dozen. There will be increased busi-
ness and there will be a new electric
lighting concern, the Public Utilities
Light, Heat and Power Company,
whose service and rates will be a
revelation to the people here. Just
as soon as Wilmington competes for
business instead OF being competed
against, by Philadelphia and other
places, Wilmington will become one

The trials of the alleged lynchers in Coatesvile
are turning out as expected. All the accused
being set free by the jurors and the efforts Of
the Governor OF the state to secure convictions in
the lynching cases are likely TO go for naught
II must be known who the leaders of the mob
we're but Coatesvle has determined not TO pun
ish them. And Coatesville in this respect is not
different from most other communities when con-
fronted with a similar situation. All that how
ever does not mean that the laws shoul' be vo-
lated with immunity, and there should be SOME
way in which the lynohers could be punished.

THE KINpNEss OF THE POPE.

Many beautiful stories are told Of
the kindness of Pope Plus x. Before
he was pope he was patriarch of
Venice, and one day when a cardinal
announced that some workmen from
Venice wanted TO see him he said,
Show them in"
But. your holiness" objected the
cardinal, these men are not dressed
in black and they do not even wear
collars and ties"
The pope could not see what differ
ence that made.
DO you think" he esked. that col
lars and ties will be required 10 enter
the doors of heaven?"
Soon after his election the new pope
gave an audience to II poor monks
and when they entered the room he
walked forward TO meet them and
said, smiling:
"Sit down, brothers.
The monks, who wouldn't have
dreamed Of sitting down in the pres

have misunderstood him, as he spoke

THE Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction
Company is determined to carry the case
againt the Public Utilities Commission 10 the high
est court
One of the allegations in the plea for an injune'
tion filed with the Federal Court is that the Pub
lie Utilities Commission is contrary TO the con-
stitution of the state of Delaware in that legsls-
tive authority is delegated. This is a point OF
much concern, for if il should be sustained we
take il that there could be no Public Utilities
Commission Of any importance in the state Other
states have such commissions a matter Of course.
The city should fight to a finish any legal pro-
ceedings that the company may take. There can
