DEMANDS VERY GREAT

The past three days and mis-.
erable nights have been full or
sorrow and suffering among the
poor. Fifty tons Of coal and
eighty loads Of wood have gone
out to warm many poor bodies.
DO not let us forget, while we
sit and eat our hot meals there
are others not 80 fortunate. Any
amount sent now will give
double relief.

since the first of the year just as the prices Of
meat and some other things go up whenever the
people make protest? In view of the decision
of the Chicago court the crusaders against the tip
ping evil might apply for an injunction against
the giving and receiving of tips. 1t would be in
teresting to know how the court would view the
matter
The legislature of Kentucky has gone step
farther than the commercial travellers in trying TO
abolish tipping. The lower house has passed law
by vote of SO TO making tipping illegal and it
is expected that both the senate and the governor
will concur. Walters and porters and all public
servants, should the measure become a law will
be liable TO heavy fine if they. accept tips and
the man who gives the tip is also subject to pun
ishment 1t is doubtful however, whether the
Supreme Court would sustain such a measure,
because the cry of class discrimination could be
raised against it.

s'FAITH OF THE FATHERS .

II HE faith of the fathers" is a favorte express
i sion of many statesmen and men who would
like to be statesmen Senator Bailey, the Demo-
cratic standpatter likes to use the expression. The
faith of the fathers'"is good thing to have in
mind on all occasions.
The fathers knew what they we're doing when
they made our constitution and formulated our
plan of government, but they could not see chang
than we can tell what problems will confront this
country 100 years from now
1t would be foolish for us TO make laws and
then demand that future generations should not
change them on the ground that they would be
scornfully casting aside the faith of their
fathers"
Our fathers" did not say the last word in leg
islation and surely the law makers of the present
day are not saying the final word. Senator Root
brought out this fact in an address he delivered
he touched upon the industrial problems of the
present day. Mr.. Root said:
The relations between the employer and the
employed. between the of aggregated
capital and the units Of organized labor, be-
tween the small producer, the small trader, the
consumer and the great transporting and
ufacturing and distributing agencies, all pres
ent questions for the solution of which
the old reliance upon the free action of in
dividual Wills appears quite inadequate And
in many directions the intervention of that
gan'zed control which we call government
seems necessary TO produce the same result
Of justice and right conduct which obtained
through the attrition OF individuals before the
conditions
Mr.. Root sees more government control OF in
dustry, and il is certain to come because of the
complexity of the many important questions that
are now before us.

COST OF CITY GOVERNMENT.
Mayor Should Begin An Investigation
As to the Facts in This City.

Mayor Should Begin An Investigation
As to the Facts in This City.
Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Figures published in the columns Of
local paper on the per capita cost
Of city government, when compared
with the per capita cost OF city gov
ernment in Wilmington. are simply
sensational. Mr.. d. M. Johnson, Of
Chester. Pa, in a letter to the Phila-
delphia Ledger, opposing the commits
sion form OF government gives these
figures: Galveston, Texas, S11.z0 per
capita; Memphis, Tenn, Sll.5O per
capita; Des Moines, iowa, Sl2.o2 per
capita; YORK, S0.i4, Allentown, S0.03;
Lancaster, SOL; Chester, SI2l;
Johnstown, $7.3l; Reading, $3.50; al
toona. S7 %; Erie, So.32; New Castle,
9o.5l; Wilkes-Barre, $500; Harris
ourg 1888; Mckeesport, $10.27.
In commenting on Mr.. Johnson's
figures, attention is called to the fact
that the expenditure for municipal
government in Wilmington last year
was $1,142,594.7S, which based on the
census figures of 1910, showed the per
capita expenditure in Wilmington to
be S13.07 per capita. With an esti-
mated population of 10000 the per
capita cost would be $1257, only fiji
teen cents less than the cost of gov
ernment in Des Moines.
The Every Evening concludes after
a consideration Of these figures that
the commission form of government is
not move in the direction of economy
and suggests that a move in the direc-
ton Of economy is needed in viii
mington. The argument that the
commission form of government is ex-
pensive would have force if we knew
how much the communities spoken Of
were spending in Improvements. The
three cities referred to are the most
progressive in their class in this coun-
try.
Des Moines has an elaborate program
of improvement which it is working
upon. Memphis is spending more
money out of its annual revenues to
advertise apd boom the city than Will
mington, which has TO borrow money
every time it paves a block, is spend
ing on paving streets. Galveston is
laying its plans and paying the bills
which contemplates that one day IL
will be queen of the South
A comparison of Wilmington's ex-
Denses with those of the cities of boss
ridden. corrupt and contented Penn
sylvania, however are amazing, and
they are of sufficient Importance, the
writer thinks, for the Mayor to take
the initiative to have a commission ap-
pointed to have an investigation.
When you are told that the per capita
cost Of city government in Whining
ton is twice that of York, and nearly
twice that of Reading, it indicates that
there is something wrong with the
! figures or something outrageously
wrong with Wilmington's city govern
ment A commission to find out would
certainly be in order. Let the Mayor
move.

TEST OF STRENCTH.
FOUNDED 1883.

1T is somewhat difficult to gauge the strength
l. of the Democratic factions that will line up in
a contest TO decide whether the Democrats of the
state shall adopt such reforms as direct primaries.
1t seems to have been the experience in Della
ware that those who advocate changes of any k,Id
make considerable noise. They write for the news
papers and they talk to their neighbors. Some of
them dream dreams and have visions and they
often imagine that the people are more interested
than they and that potters are sitting up late
at night deyising schemes with the aid of corpor-
alton lawyers to thwart the will of the people.
We have often pointed out that the plotters, If
they are SUCH do not have very difficult task so
far as legislation is concerned. All they need
do is to elect a few men in the State Senate so
that small coterie could hold up radical legisla-
ton.
Thel olamorers for reform make racket, while
the standpatters usually keep quiet They. turn
up, however, in state conventions.
Mr. Thomas F. Bayard is almost the only one
who may be ranked as a conservative who comes
ont openly, whenever the spirit moves him. and
fires gatling gun shot that carries dismay into
the ranks of the advocates of new things
1t is doubtful therefore, what will be the re-
suit Of the campaign some Democrats are now
waging for reform measures. Those familiar with
Democratic state conventions or Republican state
conventions for that matter, know that year after
year the same men, the same leaders, appear in
state conventions. The views of most of them
change but little.
After all the discussion that is now going on
it may be that the advocates of changes will test
their strength at the coming state convention
They could do this by putting men known to be
in sympathy with their ideas on the ticket for
delegates as against those known to be opposed to
change or those about whom there is no certainty.
Usually the non-committal ones arc against tho
progressives

Baltimore Evening Sun.
Charles w. Morse's recovery since
his release from the Atlanta prison
has been SO rapid that the skeptical
will doubtless be suspicious of the ac-
curacy Of the statements upon which
his release was based. We were told
that he would not live a month if
kept in prison; that. in fact, he would
not live a month anyhow. and that
all he and his friends wanted was
that he might die outside OF the peni-
tentiary walls Yet he has now re-
covered sufficiently to plan trip to
Europe.

BuSINESS ARBITRATION.

IN nISPLEASED at the work of courts, members
II of the New York Chamber of Commerce de-
cided some time ago to make the experiment of
cutting out" the courts. They determined on
scheme of business arbitration and they are graft
fed with the result OF the first step.
An American importer and a British manufac-
turer recently submitted their differences to an
arbitration committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce and within two hohrs the committee sug-
gested satisfactory basis of settlement The
members of the Chamber of Commerce are delight
ed with the outcome and think that in the future
many cases can be settled by the arbitration COM
mittee which otherwise would have gone TO the
courts.
We should think, however, that the question of
counsel would enter into the matter. No doubt
the committee or jury could be secured from the
chamber, but could each man present his case as
we'll as a lawyer could?
But if the business men OF the cities follow the
example of the New York Chamber of Commerce
the courts and the lawyers will take notice and
there may be needed reformation in legal pro-
cesSes.
