UPHELD BY SUPREME COURT
Minnesota Law Giving Counties Ten
Per Cent of License Money.

FSF CeHt or LICENSE MONEY.
The 1909 law granting 10 per cent
of all liquor license money collected
by municipalities within their borders
to the counties has been upheld by the
state supreme court
The decision was made in the case
of Sibley county against the village
of Gibbon. The county asked for $500,
as 10 per cent of liquor license money
collected by the village. The village
contended that the money had been
spent on schools and roads and had
therefore defeated the county's right
to the percentage.
The court held that the county's
right to the tax could not be defeated.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.

n GREAT discovery has been made by one of
the Democratic newspapers of Delaware.
The discovery is trumpeted TO waiting and ex-
pectant world that there is such thing as the Re-
publican Organization. Wicked Republican
organs have denied il is said, that there is such
a thing as the Republican Organization. And fur
thermore, behold what thing it is
For some years magazine writers, muck rakers
Sociastic dreamers Woodrow Wilson, former
President Roosevelt and host of others have been
talking about special interests throughout the
country. But one of our Democratic newspapers
expressed solemn and grave doubts about there
being anything in these rantngs concerning the
special interests More mature and deliberate
thought however led to the discovery that there
is real live special interest and that special in
terest is the Republican Organization of Delaware
That is the one thing that all the muck rakers and
reformerS have been writing about for these many
days. The papers throughout the country have
been filled with talk about the special interests
but we do not believe that any of their millions
OF readers really thought that the one grand spe-
cial interest was the Republican Organization of
Delaware Only Democratic editorial sanotum
N Delaware has made the real truth known
And ample and presumably expert testimony is
summoned from Sussex to show that the Republi-
can Organization does exist and have its being
Here is irrefutable testimony that what we have
been saying is true, declares in effect the Demo-
cratic paper. We have proved our case that there
is such thing as the Republican Organization
Now the funny part of it all TO us is that we
have never heard anyone deny that there is Re-
publican Organization in Delaware which is the
Republican State and County Committees We
don't think the committees have been trying to
conceal themselves. And it may be added that
there is Democratic Organization in Delaware. a
State Committee. more or less moribund and only
stirred to activity when it has chance to crack

ONE SOLUTION.

HE discussion about the electric lighting SER
- vice in the city, particularly the increase IN
the rates charged, continues Merchants and others
make one contention and President Crosby
another. And some who have watched the debate
think that the whole thing is involved in confusion,
that President Crosby and the electric lighting
men talk in terms of kowats and other mysticism
so that the average nlan is befuddled.
The only way he can judge is by examining his
bills for electric lighting whether they have
increased. Then the question arises whether the
advance in charges is justified, and figures of all
kinds are produced TO sustain this that con-
tention. So far it is question between the Off
GERS of the company on the one side and the opin-
ions Of persons representing the public but not
officially, on the other.
There is no way, according to our judgment, in
which the matter can be settled except through
some body clothed with proper authority, and the
only such body that we can think of would be
Public Utilities Commission. Unless there is such
commission the talk and disagreement and
grumbling may continue forever and we shall get
nowhere.
If we had Public Utilities Commission that
would examine these matters carefully with an
idea of doing justice both to the public and to
the Electric Company, we should at least have
some tribunal whose opinion would be respected
This commission should have supervision over the
public utilities Of the city. 1t could examine the
lighting railway and telephone situations and
force these concerns to give proper and adequate
service. Attention could be given to complaints.
AS It is at present we have unrestrained monopoly,
which does not appear to be responsible to any one
Public Utilities Commission seems to US TO
be the only solution Of the problem We may
argue all we please about the injustice wrought
by the fact that years ago valuable franchises
were practically given away by the city, but that
is not going to help the present situation
Here and there is heard talk about competition
but as practical solution OF the vexatons of the
public service corporations competition is imprac-
tieal, thing Of the past. If we do not get
Public Utilities Commission from the Legislature
we presume we shall have two more years of
grumbling and complaining on the part Of most
of us, and then the demand will be so strong for
Public Utilities Commission that the Legisla-
ture will be forced TO pass a law providing for
such commission. Why not take hold Of the
problem at once?

BLAME THE GERMS

When a famous French Physician
proved to the world that dandruff Is
caused by a germ all the old hair
tonic fellows claimed that they knew
It all the time
Whether they did or not makes no
difference, for we know that germs
cause dandrufr and not only dandruff
but falling hair and scalp itch.
The man or woman who makes no
effort TO get rid Of dandruff will with
out doubt be bald before the period of
youth has passed
Clever people who want to keen
their hair should know that Partisan
Sage, now sold all over America con-
tains ingredients that kill the germs,
abolish dandruff, nourish the roots
OF the hair and stop II from falling.
Partisan Sage is a delightfully."- re-
freshing hair grower that is guaran-
teed to stop falling hair. remove dan
druff and stop scalp itch, or money

Ter Drug Company and druggists

hair is on every bottle.
Having used Partisan Sage I will
gladly recommend it as the best hair

only hair tonic that will cure dan

A STEP FORWARD.

HE measure prepared by the Board of Trace
\ providing for non-partisanship as far as pos
sible in our city government has received the ap-
proval of the Civic Association as step in the
right direction. The oard=of Trade represents
a considerable body of business men and leaders in
public thought and the Civic Association, though
as yet small in numbers, represents variety of
diversified interests and gives promise of becom-
ing a strong agent for good in the community. 1t
may be fairly believed that these two organiza-
tions stand for large element in Wilmington, an
element that is removed from the field OF practi-
cal politics.
The chief value Of the proposed change in the
nethod of eecting Councilmen is that four of the
Councilmen are TO be chosen at large That is, the
voters OF the city. regardless of the places in
which they live would have an opportunity to
vote for four Councilmen representing the city
at large. Instead Of voting for one Councilman
as at present every citizen could vote for one
councilman from his own district and for four at
large. He would thus vote for FIVE Councilmen.
1t is asserted by students Of municipal problems
that the chances are better for securing good
Councilmen il they are chosen from the municipal
body regardless of ward divisions. The eecting
of Councmen by the plan would be in
measure returning TO the old method Of choosing
members of the Legislature in this State Before
the new constitution all the members of the Leg
islature we're elected from the counties at large
and not from individual districts as at present
We do not think the change in the method Of
electing members of the Legislature has made any
particular difference in the character of that body
II is also proposed in the Board of Trade bill
TO abolish party devices from the ticket and men
are to be voted for regardless of party lines The
politicians, however would soon work out
scheme by which they could pick the set of men
they wanted 20 elect and throw the machine vote
for those men. OF course the picking out of
ticket would be more difficult than the present way
Of voting straight tickets, and the new method
would have tendency TO increase independence in
voting in city affairs, but TO just what extent
would be difficult to estimate.
The men elected would, OF course il they we're
so disposed line up politically in Council, as at
present and dispose Of the Offices We cannot
really have non-partisan municipal government
until there is some means devised to do away with
the spoils system in distributing Offices and to
make merit the sole qualification OF course those
who advocate the bill do not look upon il as
wonder worker They merely regard it as a step
forward in the long and thorny path that con-
fronts those who are trying to have better gov
ernment in Wilmington. For that reason we see
no good reason why the bill should not be con-
sidered by the Legislature aud adopted.
Certainly the experiment is worth making

SHOOT DISCUSSES
 YOUNG CRITICISMS

Washington, April 24.-Senator Shoot, of Utah today had conference with Sec retary of the Navy Meyer regarding the design of the silver service to be pre- scented to the battleship Utah by the peo- pie of the state of Utah. His call was the result of the criticisms made in the meetings of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution that the silver plate was to carry likeness of Bingham Young The senator told MT. Meyer that the on- ly representation of Mr. Young contained in the design was that of his figure as it appears on the pioneer monument in Salt Lake City. He said this monument had been chosen by committee com posed of three Mormons and three non- Mormons, the chairman being Col D. c. Jacklng, who is not affiliated with the Mormon church. He said Colonel Jack ling had been largely instrumental in se- lecting the design and that the inclusion of the statue of Brigham Young was only incidental and due entirely to the fact that 1t was a part of the monument.
 A committee representing the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, accom- panied by a delegation of Washington ministers and Mrs. H. s. Owen of Salt Lake City, made verbal protests to Sec retary Meyer today against the accept ance of the Utah service bearing Young |, likeness. MT. Meyer said the gift was not yet within his Jurisdiction but that when it had been received he would de- eide the matter
