be an election for a board of Mayors,

such a system produce results far

Quoting business affairs, and evolved

, the board of directors, of a business
corporation; and the general superin-
tendent under the proposed charter is
the general manager of a business
corporation. The subordinate heads Of
departments are modelled after the

the scale we come to the employees.

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS.

From the Dover Index.
Delaware Democrats have been un-
usually active In the early days Of
the campaign. The first state con-
vention has been held and delegates
to the national convention selected
and new rules adopted and new
state committee elected. The conven-
tion was controlled by the progress
sive element of the party and the six
delegates selected are a unit for Gov
ernor Wilson, the ablest and most
progressive Of the candidates for the
Democratic presidential nomination.
The new state committee has organiz-
ed and the report of the proceedings
of its first meeting indicates that this
state committee intends 10 be an ac-
tive and efficient one. There Is much
work for such a committee, but here
tofore 1t has been rather ornamental
than useful, leaving the work of the
campaign TO the county committees.
If the state committee decides to
take an active part in the campaign It
will find plenty to do and we are
sure the several county committees
will welcome its aid. The next most
important things needed are good
nominations and real, live platform
We had a strong candidate four years
ago. but the state platform was the
usual dry, meaningless platitudes that
no one read. Good candidates NAV
be more important than platforms,
but we confess we should like TO sec
the Democrats of Delaware stand fol
something of real interest TO the
voters this year and say so in a way
that can be understood, and ther
| nominate men who will carry out the
platform promises If elected.

will so into court until he has in hand something
infinitely substantial ii the way of testimony than
what he had when he attempted to make convict Of

GOOD WORK OF CIVIC COMMITTEE

From the Newark Post
Congratulations are certainly in
order to the Civic Committee for the
fine showing made on cleaning day.
This work of the Century Club merits
certainly the hearty approval of every
citizen Of the town.
In view Of the fact that many
either forgot the date or neglected
this opportunity Of last Friday, we
should like 10 suggest that the COM
mittee or Council make provision for
a weekly collection. Let some stated
hour and day be made known and
with these weekly collections, the
people would soon become accustom-
ed to il and cooperate with the au-
thorities. Many residents have not
the teams and are unable to pay for
the disposal Of rubbish where il would
be a small item of expense to the tax
payers at large.
Rubbish collecting and lying around
during the summer is the breeding
place for flies and lurking disease. BY
a weekly collection this would be
avoided. Perfect sanitation is not
necessarily a scientific term. Il IL

CHILDREN HATE
CASTOR OIL, UGH!

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the physic that mother in
sisted on-castor oil, calomel, cath
artics. How you hated them, how
you fought against taking them.
With our children it's different. The
day of harsh physic is over We don't
force the liver and 30 feet of bowels
now; we coax them. We have no
dreaded after effects. Mothers who
cling to the old form Of physic simply
don't realize what they do. The chill
dren's revolt is well-founded Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peeyish, half
sick. stomach sour, breath feverish
and its little system full Of cold; has
diarrhoea, sore throat, stomach-ache;
doesn't eat or, rest well-remember--
look at the tongue, if coated, give a
teaspoonful Of Syrup of Figs, then
don't worry because you surely will
have a we'll, smiling child in few
hours.
Syrup Of Figs being composed en-
tirely of luscious figs, SIENNA and aro-
matics simply cannot be harmful. II

the Indebtedness of the city they may

PoRTLANo-To-oRIENT
LINE VERY POSSIBLE

Hamburg-American steamers will
/ be running from Portland to the
Orient and on through to Europe via
Suez Canal by the first of the year,
| IL the Chamber of Commerce and
others interested in the establish
ment of such a line exert their influ-
eEce to bring that result about, de-
clares the Telegram, This conclusion
| is reached from remarks made by
Fritz H. Kirchhoff, agent at Portland
for the China Import & Export Com
pany, who has just returned from a
hurried trip to New York, where he
conferred with head officials of the
pany.
"The company has not done any
thing definite relative to the matter
of having its steamers stop at Port,
land" says Mr.. Kirchhoff, "as the
proposals advertised by the Chamber
of Commerce have not assumed con.
crete form. Until then 1t will be out
of the question TO enter into negotia-
lions. Meanwhile Portland should
bring the matter to head to induce
the line to come here, in order to pre-
vent other Pacific Coast ports from
Ireaping the benefits to be derived
from the establishment of the line.
The plan as proposed is for the
steamers to sail from Europe to the
