AN INTERESTING CASE.

Christian Science Monitor.
short time ago in q West London
court a sentence of Imprisonment was
imposed upon chauffeur IL appear
ed that the man had used his mis-
tress' motor car for some six weeks
during her absence and had as we'll
failed to account for property apper-
tanning to it. On this part of the in
cident we have no comment to make I;
the law as to personal property in
England is well understood, as in
fact IL is i'm the United States, and
the respective magistrates Of the two
countries viii administer it for the
benefit of the community. But we
draw attention 10 the evident fact
that in imposing sentence the magis-
trato had before him the utter law
lesness of a chauffeur's using an own
er's motor car without that owners
permission, and we trust that such
considerations may be entertained by
American magistrates in like cases
when there has been an unauthorized
use of an owners car.
We're it a case of first impression
and We're il simply a question Of
whether or not an individual should
mission, the answer from lawyer ard
layman would be simultaneous and
the same, TO wit, that it is unlawful
to do such a thing. From umbrellas
to coal companies. the consensus of
opinion is the same, Don't" But in
the case of the chauffeur and his own
er's car a curious sort of laxity seems
t. have weakened public opinion and
the hue and cry that is richly deserv-
ed by this class of offenders has been
absent. Why it should be more ex-
cusable for a chauffeur to take a car
not his own for his private gratifica-
ton than It would be for any en-
ploy or any person entrusted with
property to use it for themselves, we
are not perspicuous enough to see.
There seems to be sort of popular
rendering of the whilom axiom that
the king can do no wrong, in the
case before our readers the crown
being worn by the chauffeur. There
seems as well sort of idea that af-
ter a days fatiguing labor the chauf-
feur must refresh his cloistered Sc
clusion with what has been graphi-
cally labeled as a 'joy-ride." Either
owners are afraid to prosecute OF
they care nothing for the hurt to the
public of a vicious example or they
know nothing about it. The last al
tentative has possibilities but the
first two can have no sympathy.
A few examples like the one in the
West London police court would have
wonderfully soothing effect on chauf-
feurs that have a tendency to forget
themselves, and would. moreover, ma
terially aid the police in enforcing
the law. That an irresponsible man
should be encouraged to use a pow.
erful machine like a motor car with
out the fear of the law before him Is
curious commentary on the amount
Of real protection accorded to the
citizens in a republic. We are quite
sure that If any take the trouble Ia

CIYIC ASSOCIATIONS MEETING.

NTR LAWSON W. PURDY, of New York city,
LII will address a meeting of the Civic Asso-
citation this evening atthe High School auditorium.
This will be the first public meeting of the Asso-
citation since the adjournmcnt for the summer
and much interest should be attached 70 IT,
The Association was formed for the purpose OF
advocating new charter for Wilmington in an
effort TO improve our city government Although
the association had this specific object in mind IT
the public interest warrants, there is no doubt that
the organization will be continued as permanent
body for the public discussion of all matters per-
tanning to the welfare OF the city. 1t is very ap-
parent that we need such an organization in Will
mngton There is greater need FOR II now than
ever before, considering the fact that Wilmington
is being pushed forward by those who have pro-
jected the new state highway and the new hotel.
There arc many matters that the Civic Association
could discuss with profit.
So far the association has held several meetings
addressed by noted speakers. Not one of these
meetings has been dull. Every meeting has been
worth while but the attendance has not been what
it should have been at any single meeting We do
not say that the meetings have been failures be-
cause OF the small attendance, for the discussions
Gfalye been given wide publicity through the news
papers. and they have thus proved 10 be an educa-
tonal force Bur reading a speech is not like hear
ing il by any means. The mere publication of ad-
1resSes on civic topics cannot take the place of the
actual hearing of the addresses. The mingling of
men and women interested in civic problems of T.
self is good thing There are many reasons why
these meetings of the Civic Association should be
supported by the people
Mr. Purdy. who is to make the address tonight is
one OF the foremost students of municipal prob
lens, especially problems of taxation in the coun-
try He is known to many persons in this city,
and for the credit of the city there should be a
large and intelligent turnout this evening.

ELECTIONS TOMORROW.

A MONG political leaders, if not among the
n people, there is keen interest in the elections
to be held in a number of states on November 7.
States which will elect Governors or other state
officers Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Mary
land, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana and New
Mexico. In other states Justice of the Supreme
Court, members Of the Legislatures and Mayors
will be among the officers chosen Several congress
sional vacancies are TO be filled.
The election in Massachusetts promises to be
hotly contested. Complete tickets have been
named by both parties. Governor Foss who was
elected as Democratic Governor of the state last
year is a candidate for reelection and his cppo-
nent is the present Republican Leutenant-Gover-
nor, Louis A. rockingham. Members of the Leg
islature will also be chosen.
In New York state a new Assembly will be elect
ed, well several justices of the Supreme Court
and city and county officials New Mexico votes,
for the first time in its history as a state, for
full set of state officers, members of Congress and
for Supreme Court, eight district judges and
eight district attorneys 1t also will vote on pro-
posed amendment to make the constitution more
easily amendable than is at present provided for
! Arizona on December l2 will hold its first state
election.
Ohio will vote for municipal officers and dele
gates to the constitutional convention In the larger
Ohio cities the contests for city Offices are unus-
ually spirited because of divisions in the lines of
both old parties and the determination by leaders
TO strengthen their organizations preparatory to
the fight next year for delegates to the national
conventions.
Pennsylvania elects Mayors in all cities Mum
icipa officers also will be voted for among other
states, in Tennessee. Georgia will hold a primary
TO nominate a candidate to succeed Governor Hokc
Smith, who will soon resign to become United
States Senator In several states the Democratic
Progressive, Prohibition, Socialist and Socialist
Labor parties, also have named candidates for va
rious state Offices.
Maryland besides electng Governor will choose
a state controller, attorneygeneral judge of the
Court of Appeals the full membership of the
House of Delegates and half of the Senate. Arthur
p. German, Jrr is the choice of the Democrats for
GOVERNOR while the Republicans have named Phil

Entertaining national political conventions is a
luxury that only the largest cities can afford In
1908 the Democratic convention was held in Den
yer, and il cost the city $4,000. The city con-
tributed S25,00O for the purpose and the remainder
was raised by private subscription 1t is a ques-
ton whether Denver will ask for either of the con-
ventions because of the expense Baltimore
however, will try to get the Democratic conven-
tion but Chicago as usual will probably secure one
OF the TWO gatherings.

Three Principles OF Progress.
Better farming, better living, and
better business" are the three maxims
upon which Sir Horace Plunkett,s
work in Ireland has proceeded CO.
operation has been his key-word, and
as result Of his labors co-operative
enterprises Of all sorts have sprung
into existence and have proved glow
ing successes He has brought to this
task OF the material betterment of
Ireland the practical sagacity that has
uniformly marked British statesmen.
AS Peel once observed, an English
statesman is man of uncommon
abilities with common opinions. What
eight centuries Of wrong-headed poll
tics failed to do for Ireland's advance
ment, Sir Horace Plunkett is doing
through his wise efforts for the home
and farm.
The DR.. S. A. Knapp OF Ireland.
The work Of Sir Horace Plunkett
in Ireland is very similar to the
demonstration farm movement set on
foot by DR.. S. A. Knapp In the South,
and to the great cause Of conserva-
ton championed by Pinchot in Amer
lea. He Is man Of democratic in
stincts, believing that the true basis
OF progress Is the well-being of the
people. He has faith in the average
man. He is worker. rather than
talker.
Sir Horace is converging on his
Irish problem all the light that Is to
be CLEANED from like plains in India,
Denmark, Canada. and the South. He
has returned recently from a visit TO
India, and is now seeking whatso-
ever light the South has to offer
through its demonstration farms,
boys corn clubs, school Improvement
leagues, girls tomato clubs. farmers
unions. and all other forms Of CO.
operative effort for the enrichment of
rural life. such as those carried on by
