toned the cost of litigation as an item in the
high cost of living to be considered
There are more lawyers in the United States
than in any other country, civilized uncivilized,
says the professor If many of the men now en-
gagged in law were put to work tlling the soil con-
ditons would be somewhat relieved. The profess
is doubtful as TO what the extent of The relief
would be for that would depend upon the efficiency
of the lawyers as the producers of potatoes the
huskers of corn the sewers of wheat and the like.
From what we know of Wilmington lawyers for
instance we doubt whether they would be very
successful as ters of the sail Few
of them could stand hard DAYS work behind the
plow They might do better picking apples or
strawberries, but we don't think the lawyers, if
turned loose on the farms, would add very ma
teriay TO the national wealth. Few Of them will
heed the forthwith summons of Professor Carver,
and if the Harvard man does not look out the
cost Of his own living will be increased for the
lawyers may enjoin him from advocating such
schemes.
There arc other objections. Professor Carver
no doubt would like to see half the lawyers in
Delaware spending their time milking cows and
planting turnips, but such conduct on their part
would be against legal precedent and unconstitu-
tional.
The real and serious point which we sup
pose Professor Carver makes is that there are too
many Of what may be called unproductive laborers.
People may roughly be divided into two
classes, producers of wealth and handlers Of
wealth The old writers used to say that the only
real producers of wealth were those who actually
made things and added to the tangible wealth Of
the country. This definition bars the lawyers and
other professional men and the teachers like
Professor Carver and many Of the rest of Il, from
being producers and some apostles of unrest call
the barred ones parasites. Later economists one
of them commentator on John Stuart Mill, points
out that clergyman cannot be called a non-pro-
ducer unless it be proved that no clergyman by
nculcatng rules of morality and self control ever
caused an idler or wrong-doer to become a steady
aborer Teachers supposed TO help produc-
ers indirectly, and the same line of argument is
followed for the lawyers Professor Carver raises
the point of whether there are not too many per-
sons living off the producers rendering at best
indirect service in the production of wealth.
whether the proportion of indirect producers is not
too great as compared with the direct
Investigation would probably show that he is
right in his differences. We could certainly get
along with fewer indirect producers-those who
live off the real productive work Of others

The card sharp got nervous. He was
afraid to win. either legitimately or
otherwise. He also feared that if he
left the table the judge would give
him away. SO he etruggled through
the game a loser. He went to the
Judge the next morning and told him

SUBMIT 1T ALL TO THE VOTERS.

COME of the Republican leaders of the state
- have declared for the denomination OF Presi-
dent Taft, and perhaps majority OF the Repuoli-
cans of Delaware arc of the same way OF thinking.
Lately, however some sentiment has developed
for Senator LaFollette and there are doubtless
considerable number who would like to see Colo
mel Roosevelt again the nominee OF the party.
The Journal is not inclined to believe that there
is a very strong attachment for President Tart
even among the leaders who are favorable 10 him.
Thev probably think that he is the best man IN
sight The President has not shown any parucu-
lar regard for Delaware, if such regard is mani
tested by the placing of Offices in the hands OF
Delawareans in recognition of the support that mas
been given him.
There will be many Delawareans who believe
that the denomination of the President is the best
and only feasible way out of the much-mixed po-
tical situation. On the other hand there are
manv genuine admirers of the President lhey
admire him for his determined stand in favor OF
international peace. They support him because
of the vigorous manner in which he mas sough'
10 punish big corporations guilty OF violating the
Sherman antitrust law. They believe on the "i'o'0
that he is a safe president
The sentiment for Senator LaFoette is made
up of those who desire TO overthrow the present
Republican organization in the state and those
who have real and genuine admiration for the
principles for which the Wisconsin Senator stands
Another element in the party, We think, believes
it would be betten for an uninstructed delegation
TO be sent to the national convention. II may be
that the situation will soon become so clear that
few would want an uninstructed delegation.
With this difference Of opinion among the Re
publicans and regardless Of the estimated number
Of followers that any one candidate or supposed
candidate for the nomination may have, il it could
be arranged there is no valid reason why presi-
dental preference primary should not be held IN

primaries should not be held, not only for the ex-
preston of presidential preferences, but also for
the nomination of candidates on the state ticket.
Such primaries would do away with the cry that

pubicans of Wilmington at any rate are willing 10
submit all questions of party policy nominations

A REGRETTABLE ACT.

- OVERNOR PENNEwILL'S approval
~1 of the recommendation of a majority of the
Board Of Pardons that the citizenship of John
Barr be restored to him is a dsheartening and
bitter disappointment to many of the Governors
personal and political friends in this city. They
did not believe that the chief magistrate Of the
state would countenancc so grave a reflection
upon the constitution of Delaware as that implied
in this proceeding. Under the lash of censure
that will surely sting the Governor he cannot justly
complain.
Barr was twice tried before the courts of the
state, before conscientious judges who wers
careful to weigh all the evidence and to give
the accused an impartial trial. He was qon-
victed and punished lightly, considering the
gravity of the offense. The pleas for the restora-
ton of his citizenship we're based on reasons de-
clared by the highest judge of the state Chancel-
lor Curtis, TO be- in effect, grossly inadequate
In the face of this, in the face Of the stigma
that has been cast upon Delaware because of the
alleged and real use of money illegally at cleo
have been equally guty--the Board Of Pardons
recommended that the citizenship of the accused
be restored and Governor Pennewill acted with
unusual promptness in signing the recommends
tiep. -re
The issue of whether men who attempt TO bribe
others shall be punished as the constitution pre-
scribes was presented in this in all its naked
ness. We can see 10 real reason for defense no
palaton for the act of the Board of Pardons or
that of the Governor. 1t was reputation OF the
constitutional sentence to say nothing of the moral
question involved.

Editorial Opinion
GOV. WILSON AND FREE TRADE.

WV W AL1UA AM 4 mn AhADAs
New York American.
Many who heard or read Governor
Wilson's speech before the National
Democratic Club must have felt its
academic aloofness from the facts of
modern life DR.. Wilson's free trade
theory was taught in all the universi-
ties of the third quarter Of the last
century, when Dr. Wilson went TO
school. But its supposed scientific
charcter has not stood the strain OF
common experience in the present CEN
tury.
Free trade, as a theory of closet phil
osophers, went along very well with
certain other political theories that
we're popular in colleges a generation
ago; for instance the theory that the
best government is the weakest, the
theory that laws against usury or the
adulteration of food are "sumptuary"
and foolish, the theory that factory
laws and employers liability laws are
meddlesome interferonces with free
dom Of contract, and the theory that
free competition will solve all econ
omic problems.
Since the rise of the great trusts
and the organization of grand-scale in
dustry all publicists and economists
Of a practical bent have been COM
PEELED by the plain facts to clear their
minds of these theories. II they are
still cherished in isolated, academic
cloisters, II they appear occasionally
in the decisions of reactionary courts,
that is precisely because they belong

MUNICIPAL REFORM.

INTEREST in municipal government is wide
i spread and in many states conventions ar, held
and the officials of different cities get together TO
consider matters Of common interest. Often they
are able to take concerted action. Delaware has
not enough cities for municipal convention in
the proper sense of the words, but it has often
occurred TO us that Wilmington and the towns of
the state have many things in common and that
it might not be bad idea for the mayors of the
Delaware municipalities TO get together and ex-
change views.
The Municipal Association of Cleveland o., has
called convention of the cities of Ohio for the
purpose of devising a general plan of government
for municipalities which shall be devoid of the OBJ
jectons TO the present system. This new plan
will be presented to the constitutional conven-
tion of Ohio which is soon to be held The points
causing discussion in Ohio arc that the expense
Of government in the smaller municipalities is too
great and that the cities do not have the full
measure of home rule that most Of them desire.
One of the municipal problems Of Wilmington
in regard 10 its relations with the remainder of
the state is the question of taxation.
