BilderbaCk Believes Munich

SUGGESTION In WAKE
OF COURT DECISION

A communication received from the
Board of Utilities Commissioners by
City Council last night, setting forth
that the matter of obtaining from the
United States Court information as
to when an opinion on the street car
strip ticket case could be expected,
had been referred to the city solicitor,
brought forth a few remarks on the
part of Councilman Bilderback, of the
Ninth ward, on whose motion the re-
quest to get such information was
sent to the Utilities Board.
Mr.. Bilderback moved that the
communication be received, recorded
and fled He said that the Court had
already handed down the opinion and
the only reason he presented the let
ter from the Utilities Board was to
complete the Council records.
He said, in referring TO the Utilities
Commission: Il hope this will not
complete their work on the matter.
Since they have been so wonderfully
enlightened as to procedure they can
now proceed according to law. Every
citizen should back up the board in
its efforts. I believe that the Whining
ton and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany, receiving as it does the use of
the streets free. is not treating the
people fairly. After giving them strip
tickets for ten years the practice IS
suddenly abolished and the company
should be made to return to the sys-
TEN.

NATIONAL nELEGATES.

TT IS highly probable that the question of South
4 ern representation in Republican National
Conventions will come before the Chicago conven-
ton in a manner that will call for serious consider
alton.
Many of the national leaders of the Republicans
have long felt that it is injustice to permit the
Southern states, which cast no votes for the Re-
publican candidate in the electoral college, TO have
an important influence in making the presidential
nominations.
There arc eleven southern states which have not
chosen an elector since reconstruction days. Yet
these eleven states send 252 delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention, and this is twenty
two per cent of the entire delegation in the con-
Mention.
Texas, for example, will have forty delegates at
Chicago. Missouri will have thirty-SiX and Kansas
only twenty, although both of them are more than
Republican possibilities for the election. Louisiana
anc Mississippi have an equal voice with Kansas
III selecting the standard bearer, though neither
Mississippi nor Louisiana will cast an eIcctorM
vote for the Republican candidate.
Republican delegate TO the national cOnyen-
tion from Texas represents 1000 Republican voters
from Alabama, l,O4O; from Florida, $50; from
Louisiana, 45O; from South Carolina, p; from
Mississippi 200 A Republican national delegate
from Missouri or Kansas represents slightly fewer
than 10000 voters. 1t is thus seen that there is a
great inequality of representation, something that
cannot be defended
Evening journal., 1912-03-08

the conflict is liable to impair the chances of the
Republicans winning in November.
The name of Justice Charles E. Hughes is already
being mentioned as the compromise candidate. 1t
is reported that Justice Hughes declared that under
no circumstances would he permit his name to be
used against Taft, and it is improbable that he
would find way as did Roosevelt to get around
this declaration
But the Hughes men think that the nomination
Of Hughes could be brought about by having both
Taft and Roosevelt withdraw. This may be all
right to talk about but it is not likely that either
the President or the Colonel will retire.
The Taft managers profess to believe that the
President is as good as nominated now" and
holding this view they will reject any proposal that
he step aside.

NO ToLERATION OF VIOLENCE.

II HE English government is dealing with the
i rotous outbreaks of the sufragists in the
only possible manner that it can do-treatng
the destructionists as common law breakers.
Such a course as the Suffragists are pursuing
would not be tolerated in this country any more
than the smashing of property by any other
class of citizens would be put up with.
The English suffragists certainly do not eX-
press the sentiments of a vast majority of the
women of England and they must have lost the
sympathy of those who have favored their de-
mands but who do not approve of the violent
methods employed by them to enforce these de-
mands The militant sufragists have shown that
they ignore property rights, have no regard for
the public safety and hold the government in
the highest contempt The government must re-
spond with repressive measure for the suffragists
cannot attain their ends by anarchistc methods.
1t has been suggested that the subject of equal
suffrage be submitted to the voters of England by
referendum. Some of the government leaders
have favored this plan but it is said that the Suf
fragsts are not eager to test their claims before
the people

Method In His Forgiveness.

One of c. w. Morse's acquaint-
ances called a friend into his Wall
street Office the other day. He said
that he wanted to show something
funny.
Look at this" said he. 1T is an
engraved acknowledgment of Mr..
Morse's thanks to those VIII osent him
congratulatory letters and kilograms
when he was released from the peni-
tentiary at Atlanta"
It didn't make a tremendous hit
with the man to whom it was shown.
He breezed hastily through some Of
the better known aspects Of Mr..
Morse's character. and predicted
gloomily as to Mr.. Morse's future.
Don't talk that way" said the
banker 81 don't like to hear people
roast poor Charley like that"
The other fellow stared open-eyed.
THAT funny" said he. Morse sold
you out in the most cold-blooded
manner possible. He double-crossed
you, and then. to make it good. he
triple-crossed you. He hit you just
when you couldn't stand another
blow. and he knew it, And now
you're talking love and forgiveness
Morse's thanks to those who sent him
bean loose?"
1T is not" said the banker, de-
cidedly. Morse owes me 100000.

CARE OF KENT ROADS.

TT WILL not be very long before Kent county
Il will have new method of caring for its roads.
a proposition has been made to the Levy Court to
abolish the 100 road overseerS and substitute a few
capable men who would care for the roads.
The present method of having road overseers
is antiquated and II has failed to be satisfactory,
The development Of the county has been held back,
The only reason why the present method has been
tolerated is that the management Of the affairs
the county has been conducted on partisan lines
and the appointment of road overseers is regarded
as part of the political spos. But the people of
Kent as we'll as those in other places are rapidly
coming to the conclusion that the best way to get
good county government is not through the spois
system.
The cost of the county government is too high.
More could be done and should be done with the
money taken from the tax payers The owners of
property as a rule do not object to taxes if they
can see that the money thus derived is wisely ex-
pended, if they get something tangible for their
taxes
The action of the citizens of Dover who request
ed the Levy Court to postpone the appointment Of
road overseers until a change in the methods OF
caring for the county roads is considered is a
step in the right direction.

When Yeu Use Electric Lighting
You Make Your Own Bill

When you use electric lighting you make
your own bill. The sentence is worth repeating.
You never knew that before, did you? Perhaps
not, but the object Of these talks is to tell you
things so that we may become better acquaint-
ed You can make your bill what you desire
either before you begin the lighting or after
ward. Strange statement? Not at all II you are
on meter you can read the meter yourself
and tell exactly what you are burning at time,
or you may have fixed amount if you want it.
Thousands Of our home people in Will
mington want electric light. No doubt about it.
Some want to know exactly how much it is go
ing to cost. We are willing to help you. Here
is the plan. You may install as many lights liz
your home as you please. Burn any four Of
them as long as you need, burn any of them so
long as not more than four are turned on at one
time, and your bill is one dollar month. About
3H cents a day will light the small house sum-
mer and winter. If you want more lights, 25
cents per month each is the price. This can't
be beat for perfect light
If your house is not wired it ought to be-
Perhaps you had been thinking of asking for a
price on wiring and fixtures2 Come in and do
it. We can tell you how you can have the
work done on easy monthly payment if you
want TO do it that way.
Remember the cost of lighting is fixed
and the rate is much cheaper than most of
your friends get in o her places. If you want
light by meter the same cheapneSS is true.
Come in and talk to us about your home.

MANY NEW CANNERIEs.

ID EPORTS from Sussex county say that larger
IN acreage of tomatoes will be planted this year
than ever before. In the eastern part of the county
five new canneries will be built in time for opera
ton during the coming season and in all 1t is SAID
that fifteen new canneries will be established IN
the county.
In Kent, also, there will be a number OF new
canneres which means that the farmers will raise
more tomatoes The producing of vegetables is
much more profitable than the raising OF grain,
and the only thing apparently that stands in the
way of still greater development OF the veget-
able growing capacities of the state is the inability
or uncertainty of securing labor to harvest the
crops.
Surely no part Of the country is better suited
for vegetable growing than Delaware and the fu-
ture of the agricultural part of the state is IN
that direction If our own people do not take up
the cultivation of vegetables and fruits more than
they have done, outsiders will come in and do So
They are already arriving. Not long ago New
York syndicate bought a large farm in Kent county
which is to be planted entirely in apples and

THE FIGHT ON WILSON.

GPEAKER CHAMP CLARK denounces as
- malicious invention the story that he
has formed an alliance with Democratic
candidates for the presidential nomination, ex-
cluding Governor wilson, to defeat the
New Jersey Governor There may be no
formal alliance, probably there will not oe, but 1t
is evident that the fight among the Democrats is
Wilson against the field. The opponents OF the
New Jersey Governor realize that he is the strong
est runner in the race at present How to defeat
him is the question that puzzles them.
What the Wilson men have to contend against
is the possibility of just such combination as
Speaker Clark denies. In almost every state the
conflict is Wilson against the field, and the in
terests that are opposing the nomination of the
New Jersey Governor will do all in their power to
have any man other than the New Jersey Governor
nominated.

 The fact that dirty milk has been held by physicians to be one of the
 principal causes of the high death rate and infant mortality makes it impor- tant that only clean milk be sold The
 general laws of this state and the pure
 food law of the United States pro-
 hibit the sale of milk containing for

 and manure, is a violation of the law.
 For the education of your employees it is important that the enclosed sug- gestions be posted conspicuously in the stable or milk room.
 In the near future agents of this de- partment will visit all dairy farms from which milk is shipped to Provi- dence for the purpose of seeing that the suggestions are being carried out. Samples of milk shipped to this city by producers will be examined to deter mine if the laws of this state are be- ing complied with.
 I hope that the enclosed suggestions may be of assistance in enabling pro- ducers to ship only clean milk. Milk inspectors do not make the city milk inspector cannot be held re- | sponsible for acts of courts or United States officials he does not appoint.

IDEAS OF APLAIN MAN
Music and Righteousness.

7
 There is a profound connection be- tween music and goodness.
 I know that some of the famous op- cratic stars are far from models of virtue. and that loose and even evil men can make sweet harmony upon in- struments; but that is aside from the point.
 The harmony itself, when it is once produced, has a character of it's own, and cannot escape the conviction that sweet and moving sounds are akin to noble and generous thoughts.
 Everyone who can play divinely on the piano or cello or what not ought to have a divine personality. That this is not the case only proves that something is wrong somewhere.
 never hear perfect music but I am raised out of all my mean common placeness into the heroic plane of feel ing. Make me the right music and l can easily return good for evil, sacri- flee myself, and do any of the great spiritual deeds that in dull moments seem so impossible. When harmony comes in at the ear all the moral sentiments are set in or der

 on the job getting and furnishing thor oughly the events which the people are looking for. This is recognized not only within the territory, but out
