poIIcv DEpARTMENT AND An AuTO.

TN the affairs of a municipality many exigencies
arise In which the quick arrival Of policemen at
given point prevents the loss of life personal in
Jury the theft or destruction of property and also
the escape of offenders against the law In most pro-
gressive American cities it has been found that the
possession of one automobiles for the use OF
the police in cases of emergency has served an ex-
ceedingy useful public purpose. Wilmington has no
such automobile for the Of its Police Department
II has it is true automobile patrol wagon and one
or two motorcycles but they do not the func-
tons which would be served by an automobile Kept
TO rush police officials and their mon TO any point of
trouble or to be used in the chase of fugitive
.Perhaps not a week elaspcs that the work of our
local Police Department does not reveal the need
for such machine It should be supplied as soon
as the city officials can see their way clear to spare
the money for IT, Possession of such an auto would
enable Chief Black and his subordinaes to do much
more efficient work and serve protect society against
the underworld and disaster.
In event Of riot fire. the collapse Of any structure a
train trolley or automobile wreck or any of the many
things with which the police have to deal it Is highly
mportant that policemen reach the scene quickly II
seems TO us there can be better guarantee Of ex-
neduon than for the Police Department to be the
owner Of a fast machine with its use governed by rigid
restrictions to guard against ioy-rding and other
abuses.
It is surprising that up to this time the Board ct
Police Commissioners has not taken up this important
matter with view of seeing what may he done. II
Chief Black and his men arc to do good work they
must have up-to facilities for doing IT, The chie
already abors under the disadvantage of not hayin7
enough patromen. He surely should not be expected

John H. Rodney. He a Democrat from principle
and an uncompromising one, and yet he was not an
ofce-seeker the ordinary Earlier in life ne
might have had almost any Office within the gift OF
the party in Delaware He seemed to have decided
however following his graduation from Princeton and
Harvard TO devote his time and attention to the prac-
tce Of law and permit the distractions of poll
tics or the alurements of ofce-hoding to interfere
materially with IT, lie served Presidential elector
and in other official capacities, but never sought an
office which would interfere with his chosen profess
sion.
Il must not he understood from that however that
he was lukewarm as a Democrat Far from IT, In the
primaries the elections and the conventions his IN
auence was felt hundreds OF times, and he was
looked upon as the most useful advisors Of the
Democratic organizations not only in his home dis
trict but also in the county and the state.
But above all other things, he was a man. Men
might not like him as Democratic partisan but they
we're forced to admire him man and a lawyer He
will he missed just as Thomas r. Bayard, Anthony
Higgins William C. Spruance and many other Dela-
ware LAWYERS who we're his contemporaries are
missed We feel sure bespeak the sentiment OF the
poople of the entire State when we extend heartfelt
svnpathv 10 the members of his family.

rIELD SPORT AND STATE TAX.

oNE OF the failings thousands of folk In the
~ rural sections Of Delaware Is that they do not
pay serious heed to proposed legislation in Dover
even when it affects them vitality. AS rule tney
wait untn the bills have been passed and signed by
The Governor and the Legislature has adjourned be-
fore bestirring themselves; and then it is too late
for them to do anything except to criticize those who
formulated passed and approved such laws and wait
two years for an opportunity to demand their re-
peal
The above is true with respect to the law passed
bv the last session Of the Legislature taxing all resi-
dent gunners except or tenants and the mem
hers of their immediate families and restricting their
,ntaxod field sport TO the lands owned or rented by
them When that cunning license bill first was in
troducod in the Legislature we gave warning, editor
tally and otherwise of its import We did it not only
once but two or three times, and set forth the ehect
Of such law so clearly that no one with ordinary in
tenrence could fail to understand IT, Those most
vitality affected by the bill failed to take any action
while those Interested in its passage were In the state
House day after day working in its interest The re-
suit was that It was passed signed and became law.
Not until recently weeks after the Legislature had ad-
journed did dawn upon the Delaware farmers cf the
cunning limitations that had been placed upon them
owners aud renters OF farms and the members OF
their immediate families know that when they
go out cunning they must not venture beyond the
boundaries their lands without first obtaining
licenses
arrest and punishment They may not gun on the
lands of a neiehbor. no matter how willing that
neighhor may be. without being subjected to the same
tax or in default of It's payment to the penalties pro
yided by the law. Nor may they invite friends or
neivhbors to gun their lands unless those friends
and neghbors he protected by such licenses. other
wise such friends and neighbors liable to arrest
and punishment
In short no man. or boy IN Delaware who
old ndu i'm off n
land or leasehod without running the risk of prose-
cution Il matters not how willing or how eager
property owner may be to give to such person few
davs of sport the tax must he paid by all who accept
such an invitation before it is safe to go into the
fl Ids and coverts on hunting expeditions.
II will be well for those Delawareans who indulge
in hunting to remember tho existence of the law re-
ferred to above. such remembrance will then
much trouble No one must labor under the delusior
that it is a dead letter The state officials on
forcing IT, The game wardens busy in all sections
OF our state. And in all parts Of Delaware com
plant is heard about the law.
Perhaps in future the people in the rural section
will exercise more foresight and less hndsight witt
respect to legislation If this game law teaches then
to do that il will much more important pur
pose than its trainers contemplated it shoul
serve
