THE legislature should ratify
the compact between Delaware and
New Jerse,' relative to the twelve
mile circle" and jurisdiction over the
waters of the Delaware river, which
was entered into solemnly by the
commission appointed to conduct
the negotiations, and which dragged
on for twenty years in the United
States Supreme Court. The case
was withdrawn and the compact
agreed to was submitted to the
legislature of each state for ratihca-
tion. New Jersey passed the law
promptly, but the legislature of
four years ago under influences of
local parties at New Castle, made
to the compact which
virtually nullified its purposes. 1t
Is absolutely necessary that the
compact be ratified before any laws
can be made between New Jersey
and Delaware which will prevent
hardships to the fishermen of the
two states.

DELAWARE COLLEGE CHARTER.

The committee composed of Lieuten-
ant Governor Mendenhall, Secretary
OF State William Smithers, and Attor-
ney General Gray, which was sp.
pointed to ascertain the legal status Of
Delaware College, and propose a per.
manent charter Of the institution, sent
their report in to the Legislature last
Monday. In their report they outline
all the different phrases or the college
charter and recommend that the pres
ent charter be Te.enacted and made
The commission also re-
port that the institution is run econom-
Ically, and that critism to the contrary
Is unfounded.

DELAWARE has one source for
raising money which should be
used for the purpose Of building a
highway from one end Of the state
to the other end, and this particular
source would be taxing personal
property which now escapes all
taxation; we refer to the taxing Of
bonds and mortgages. The Adams
tax law was declared unconstitu-
tional on the ground Of its failure
to tax all alike, by exempting all
incomes below a certain sum, but
this can be easily remedied by max
ing the law apply to all incomes,
and the revenues derived from these
sources would touch the pocket of
the class best able to support the
State, but which now escapes the
cost Of any part of its Improvements
but who receive profit by her pros
perity. We have in mind a case
where an individual has possibly a
quarter-of-million of dollars invest
ed in Delaware bonds and mort
cages, and pays less than twenty
FIVE dollars in taxes to the support of
State, county and town and schools
ali told. Try the re-enactment of
the Adams tax law; it worked all
right before, until the courts knock
ed it out Give it another trial.

ishment for entering q house Of prOsti-

an inmate, and providing prison sen.
tences for procuring persons so to do, or
for living from the income OF persons

IF the temperance people are to
continue their practice of "endors-
ing this or that candidate on the
tickets of the two leading parties in
districts where the voters are even
ly divided, that part of those two
great parties will use re-submission
of the liquor question, as the rod Of
chastisement as a retalitory measure
and they would not be unreasonable
in so doing. The temperance party Of
Delaware is but small percentage
of the voters, and it was not by any
power inherent of them as party
that Kent and Sussex voted out the
sale Of liquor, but it was the men of
the two leading parties who recog-
nized the damning influence that
the sale of liquor was having upon
the people of lower Delaware, as it
was being conducted by the people
in the business, and their determin-
alton to better the conditions gem
orally. To the men who were Op-
posed to the sale Of liquor as it was
sold here in Delaware is due the
local option laws we are living
under, and fully three-fourths of
those who so voted did not do so
by reason of their opposition to
liquor or beer, but because of the
open saloon which was debauching
the youths, the colored population,
and defying the laws, as we'll as
Interfering as to who should rep
resent the people in the Legislature.
But the temperance people seem to
nave lost sight of this entirely, and
oy a process Of holding up of both
parties hope to win for prohibition
This will result in re-
aliatory measures in the end, and
or that reason we hope to see the en-
ire question removed from the poll
ical future of Delaware by the adop-
ion of the Drexler amendment or
aw. which will provide for the re-
ubmission of the question every
light years at a special election to
e held for that especial purpose.
IS the law is now drawn the cleo
ion would be held in 1914. and
very eight years thereafter. It's
God thing to get out Of politics,
ecause it is a moral question which
fleets the welfare of the entire
Ommunity and should not be laid
t the door of any political party

ALL people of Delaware will ad-
NIT the need of a wide and we'll
built modern highway running the
length of the State of Delaware, and
the only difference of a serious ma
ture is, how to best bring the great
need into an ever-present fact We
believe that an issue of bonds will
be the surest way to bring the ad-
mitted necessity to a successful ac-
complishment; but the offer of 7.
Coleman DUPONT to supply a mil
lion dollars to construct the high
way, has opened another and un-
looked for channel. and one which
shows great generosity and far
sightedness on the part of this veal
thy public-spirited citizen. No mat
ter what the outcome of bills now
before the Legislature may be, it is
now almost a reasonable certainty
that some way can be worked out,
by taking advantage ofthe generous
offer of Mr.. DUPONT, to build high
way the length of Delaware, which
will be of far more value to the peo-
pie than all the trolley lines ever to
be constructed. The State is now
paying to the three counties thirty
thousand dollars to build good
roads with each year, and outside
Of New Castle county the money
has been wasted in the old expert
mental methods Of making so-ca1-
led improvements, but not in real /
good road construction. Lets have
! beginning in real good roads
work, and to start with, lets have

IEild the others to it.

Championship of Salt River Valley
 At Stake.

The bal ground at East Lake Park will be sort of four sided( grandstand bleachered amphitheatcr this afternoon filled with an enthusiastic horde of val ley fans. when the Fords. managed by that paragon of captains Christopher White and the Rattlers, managed Dy Thomas WalI-meet to contest for the championship of the Salt Rive Valley.
 on the glorious Fourth the two te ans were pitted against each other, and one of the racicst games that has ever been played by Phoenix ball men was put on for the delight of the local fans. But the Rattlers on that occasion came off second bcst,-lost by one point, for the score was to a big round cipner when the last swpe was taken at the ball at the close of the ninth inning.
 What will the Rattlers do tomor- row. boys?" asked White in a last interview with his players last night. After which question he proceeded to harangue them in manner worthy of Napoleon, if the Corsican knew the difference between a ball bat and a cricket club, which White thinks is doubtful There is only one thing about it We aren't going out there to lose This is our pet game, tNis little Amercan game of base ball. and we've got to rub sand on our hands, take a firm hold on the stick, and knock the ball over yon eud of the park fence while our prominent players on base steal home to glory

 Wall was. not in evidence yesterday but from the longing he has displayed for the championship. and the anxiety he had to arrange a game with the Fords. there is no doubt that he has put the time in to pretty good purpose during the last few days, and will bring his men on the field in good shape to give the Fords an opportunity to show wbat kind of a game they can play when they are uD against men as de termined as themselves.
 It will not be a picnic for either nine good fast game of real ball playing is certainly scheduled to come off this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and there will be as big crowd present as has wit messed any game at East Lake Park this summer Next Sunday, when the Brannans and the Fords play their big come-b back game-but that will be an other story.
