THE 'LET-Us-ALONE" SCHOOL.

II HE NATIONAL CIVIC ASSOCIATION can
l. vasSed some $4,000 business men, econo-
msts professional men, labor leaders and others
70 ascertain their opinions as to the Sherman law
and the trust question.
The replies showed that a large majority ac-
cepted the great combinations as a fact and the
need for public regulation was recognized The
sounding of sentiment also brought out strong
reactonary sentiment for about thirty-ive per
cent of the persons questioned opposed sugges-
tons for legislation dealing with the steadier en-
ployment of labor at better wages and for the
better protection against industrial accidents. The
believers in the let-us-alone" school are numerous
and evidently the letters of the Civic Association
reached many of them. 1t is unlikely that the
mass of the so-called middle class was touched by
the association, and the answers received by that
body must be taken portraying the sentiment
of only part of the country.
The "let-us-alone school," however, has numer-
Gus followers in all parts of the country In Della
ware those who uphold that view oppose progress
sivc legislation They dislike public utilities COM
missions. They want no legislation affecting the
workers or our industries. They fail to recognize
the great changes that have taken place in indus
trial life changes TO which President Taft referred
in his recent message. They would permit capital
to do as it pleases with as few legal restrictions
as possible.
This school is not likely to prevail 1t cannot
prevail for any considerable length of time A
million dollar corporation is far different from
with SIS 900 capital Our great factories employ
ing thousands of men bring up questions different
from those that confronted the little factories
where the owners worked with their employees.
The Civic Associations reports showing that the
persons questioned accepted the trust as fact
are interesting bringing out the different points
Of view on that subject. President Taft and many
others think that the old days Of competition can
be at least partly restored. Time alone will tell,
but II IS certain that cannot have unregulated
trusts as desired by the let-us-alone" school,

came from many States and from prac-
tically every town where she had ever
lived as an intinerant minister's wife,
some of them telling of children named
for the minister of his wife, of
baptisms, of conversions and many Of
marriages. Even a photograph OF
the parsonage and street where Mrs.
Sheppard began life as a pastors wife,
were sent by neighbors of those DAYS

THE NEW CHARTER.

II Is entirely too carly to pass judgment upon
u the work OF the charter commission. Although
The main provisions of the measure arc known,
some changes may yet be made before the instru-
ment is finally submitted to the people. The pre-
senting of the draft of the charter TO the Mayor
was for the purpose Of conforming to the law
Members Of the commission have all along felt
that they did not have time for the proper CONF
plcton Of so large task as that of formulating
new charter. The time, they think, was too short,
and we agree with them.
When the charter is completed and its provi-
sons explained by the members Of the commission,
as no doubt they will be, it will then be time to
weigh the merits and demerits of the charter
and to pass judgment upon it. If the merits are
far greater than the demerits and if the proposed
charter indicates an improvement in our form of
city government, or if the people believe that it
does no doubt the charter will be adopted In any
circumstances, however, the probabilities at pres
ent are that the path towards the adoption of the
new charter will be beset with obstacles Already
the Socialists have intimated that they will be op-
posed TO it, their chief reason being as we under
stand, that under the present arrangement they
think thay.hayea chance of electing member to
City Council in the not distant future.
There are others who are inclined TO oppose the
instrument because il does not provide strictly
for the commission form of government with the
initiative, referendum and recall Then there will
be large element opposed to this new charter
as they would object to any other charter
because they are satisfied with the present method
of city government
On the other hand there will be many who will
believe that the charter, if it is absolutely not
what is needed is a step in that direction and that
IL this new charter is not accepted there will be
no opportunity to secure any change in the city
government for years 10 come.

men than for its young women, but they should
have equal educational advantages so far the
public is concerned. Delaware College at one
time a co-educatonal institution, but the expert
ment was abandoned.
Among those interested in educational matters
the idea has long been prevalent that something
should be done for the young women. AS out
lined, the plan for the affiliated college appears
to be very practical, with the probability that it
will solve the vexed problem of how best to afford
equal educational opportunities within the state
for both sexes. An affiliated college will be in
measure the same thing as a co-educational insti-
tuition without the objections that attach TO col
lege of the latter kind The plan for an affiliated
college is step in real progress, and the success
of the meeting in this city at which the matter
was considered inspires the hope that the affiliated
college will soon be fact.

ELECTION BRIBERY.

II OR many long weary months certain Demo-
Il cratic newspapers have been ringing the
changes on the Republican organization of Della
ware and its alleged corrupt use OF money during
campaigns Little did most of them ever say
about the use of money by Democrats, but they
doubtless we're not surprised when they read of
the admissions of Democratic workers during the
Swain hearing that they had used money in times
past. And one of these newspapers quotes DEM
ocrat-name not given-to the effect that both
sides used money, all they could get of it.
With reference to the past this statement may
not be far from the truth, especially regards the
lower counties 1t is not of the past, however, that
The Journal wishes at this time to speak particu-
lary 1t is Of the future. Certainly the time has
arrived when all suspicion of taint should be re-
moved from our politics Certainly sufficient pub
lie sentiment will have been created by the time
of the next campaign to demand in no uncertain
tone that corruption in any form whatever shall be
wiped out completely and that the offenders shall
be sternly dealt with
The bribing of voters is mockery of our state
and of its laws. The vote buyers and the vote
sellers can be wiped out only when public opinion
is sufficiently educated and intelligent TO demand
that all corrupt practices shall cease.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

ATO MATTER what Germany does in preparing
In for war England is determined TO go the
Kaiser one better. In the battle-cruiser Lion
Great Britain is now said 10 have the largest COM
plcted war vessel in the world. This engine of
destruction is TO go at least twenty-eight knots
an hour, will carry eight l3. 5-nch guns and 16
4-inch guns and exclusive of armament, will cost
almost SlO,OO0,000.
The constant augmentation of the Kaisers fleet
is taken in England as meaning an aggressive pol
icy on the part of Germany. This naval rivalry
affects not only them but other countries as we'll
all of which try to increase their naval forces to
keep up with the pace set Of course it all means
tremendous taxation for the support of the war
and naval departments.
But what does taxation amount to so long as
the money is raised by indirect taxes and the peo-
pie do not feel that it comes from their pockets, al
though it does just as sure as two and two make
four. And the masses not the classes are the
bearers of the burden of taxation.

THE "HOBOa CONVENTION.

New York World.
The reluctance of Cincinnati to
shelter a national hobo convention
was due to a stupid prejudice Some
hoboes are lazy and tramps by
choice, some are criminals by nature,
many are inefficients who. owing to
circumstances, have turned out fail
ures. The name of the Unskilled
Migratory and Casual-Supply Work
ers' Association, which, is holding the
convention. is full of signifiance It
is sore that demands serious treat
ment.
The hoboes meeting at Cincinnati
represent a co siderable class which
every day receives new recruits.
Society is intensely interested in the
problem they present II they have
statement Of grievances to make. if
they have anything to say in expla-
nation Of the conditions that produce
them, these offcasts of a busy and
prosperous world deserve attention.
They are human beings and cannot be
exterminated like stray cats and
dogs by uniformed officials of an
association for the prevention Of
cruelty to something or other.
The fact that a lot of workless. un-
fortunate men show the disposition to
get together and discuss their case
is important. It is evidence Of their
discomfort. which is a good sign.
Society cannot afford to ignore such
things. Who can say that all hoboes
would be hoboes if they we're given a
real chance in time to better them
selves?

WAVES or pOpuLAR PASSION.

New York World.
Not few will be grieved to observe
that a wise, eOlerant, and good-humor-
ed President is again afflicted with
the fear lest the country be engulfed
with popular waves of passion. His
argument against the recall of judges
is otherwise so strong and convincing
that it is a pity he mars It by raising
the old bogey that the people are tur-
bulent, unreasonable, and not to be
trusted; that it is the business of a
few Of us to keep the rest Of us in
order
It is hardly fitting that the chief
executive OF the worlds greatest de-
mocracy should preach or imply the
doctrine that the masses are inherent
ly disorderly. For one we don't believe
that President Taft really intended to
leave the impression that his unfor-
tunate sentence conveyed. He is
emancipated, one may assume, from
the error assiduously propagated by
historians who have served class in
terests that disorder and democracy
are Siamese twins. OF the old world
Great Britain is and has been the most
democratic country, and it has been
the least afflicted with internal tur-
moil Our own history refutes the libel
against popular government. 1t is the
peoples that have had tyrannous or
aristocratic governments that have
found it most difficult to maintain
peace
II the American people are to be
criticised it is on the ground that they
are too hard to heat. Their vices are
Indifference and slowness rather than
passion and rapidity. Every one knows
this who has ever promoted a good
cause-one that no one seriously con-
troverted. II has taken thirty years OF
continuous effort to get the postal
savings bank, for example. 1t will
probably take ten more to get the par
cells post
What there is need to worry about
is not the tendency of the people to
rush to the support of bad causes, but
their failure to rally quickly enough
to the support of good causes. The

President may profitably leave out OF
his future speeches sentences that
create the impression that he is not
quite sure whether the democratic ex-
pertinent in America is a success or
not. Tile social heart of humanity has
