REPUBLICAN AND
STATE GOVERNMENT.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
When it became possible for the
Republican party to meet and defeat
the Democratic party on its own
ground. at the polls. it became a yio-
lent opponent of what it alleged to
be corruption of the ballot; in the
buying and selling OF votes it chose
10 be nnmindful of the fact that its
party had been outbiddon, and that
tic parties who sold their votes had
simply chosen a new market for their
wares. unmindful of the fact that
corruption OF the ballot was an al
ready established fact-an organized
fact-known and manipulated by the
Democratic party for it's own bene-
NJ. it became one OF the most violent
opponents of She Republican party
managers for thus attempting to de-
feat the, TO it, great and good Demo-
cratic party.
SO thoroughly Democratic in poll
tics is Every Evening. It fails to rec
ognize the Improvement in State gov
ernment. I'm Delaware. under Republi-
can control SO partisan Democratic IS
Every Evening that it cannot imagine
an atonement Of political sin; if in
deed It be possible to commit politi-
cal sin is rescuing a State from tyran-
nical corrupt goyorning-by giving
that State, as the Republican party
i'm Delaware has done, an honest, cap
able and Just government.

THAT phoPOsED POLIcE CENSUS.

~ police census Of Wilmington viii show that
l our city has population Of 100000 it Will be
sell worth while for advertising purposes. 1t is
doubted oweyer that II will do t. The census taken
IN 1910. less than three years ago showed total
population of S74li an increase for the ten years OF
i09oS or a percentage increase of l43. That was
m average yearly for the decade of 1880 and
It should be stated that considered ON per ceniase
basis il was the smallest in the history OF our city
from the census Of 1870 that of 1870 II the am
nhal rate of increase has held good during the last
three years it would bring the census up to approx
lmatcy 10000.
II may be- however. that some big Increase has oc
cured in the last three years that will compare favor
ably with that of decades prior to 1900 If ta' were
TO- the population at this time might be well up to-
ward the 100000 mark Il is doubted by many per-
sons however that there ha been net increase Of
approximately 12.50O in 1911. 1912 and 1913. That
would be greater than the highest average annual n-
crease since 1910.
That the peop, Of Wilmington, who naturally arc
interested in any proposed may gee for them
selves what annual increase has been, we
have obtained the following onical figures from the
Federal census reports

SHORTER HOURS BENEFIT.

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
Investigations into the hours oRem-
ployment for women have shown that
"a reduction of the working day has
not been burdensome to the industries,
according to a bulletin issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the
other hand the report shows that
the general health Of the women
whose hours have been reduced has
been much better. This bulletin gives
a comprehensive review of working
conditions of women all over the
world and cites various authorities
to carry out the statements contain
ed in IT, The reduction in the work
ing day has not made it more diff-
cult for the women TO compete with
men. In those countries where the
hours of labor of women have been
reduced there is nothing to show that
the greater legal protection given 10
women has made it more dinicut
for them to obtain employment. How
ever. this reduction has in a way
benefited the men. The protection
given to women has led indirectly
to the reduction of the hours OF
work of the men employed in that
! industry and as a result wages have
risen in many cases. The majority
OF women, so the report continues
makes use Of the additional spare
time secured to them by the reduc-
tion of the hours of labor TO greater
care OF their homes. Young women
are also enabled 10 cultivate their
minds and to obtain domestic IN
struction. only when they are em-
ployed for short hours is It possible
for young women to train themselves
for more skilled trades.

DELAWARE SHOULD ABOLISH
WHIPPING POST.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Delaware should abolish its whip
ming most The day of flogging has
zone lust as the thumbscrew and the
rack are out of date. The late Chief
Justice Lore. of that State, made the
hest defense that has appeared OF
whipping. but it was a "defense;' ev-
CRY one in this age and cline must
make an apology for employing the
outlawed punitive measures of the
Dark Ages.
Judge Lore called attention to the
position of the little state II lies

the great city Of Philadelphia. II Is
situated upon the trunk lines OF the
great railroad system, and is the gate
way OF the travel for migrant Grim
inals who fit from New York and
New England through Philadelphia
toward Baltimore Washington aud
the South and West. What more ma
tural than that the birds of prey
should touch Wilmington and fly;
harass the State, rob and despOil il or
even make of IT a temporary or perm

NEEDS DAY CURRENT.
From the Milford Chronicle

From the Nluord NhrOnlcle.
Milford needs a change in her light
ing system, from low tension TO a
high tension. and at ono time a few
years back. it could have been done
by exchanging the immense quantity
of copper wire strung along the
streets, for a high tension circuit and
selling the surplus which would have
been left over. which would have paid
all the cost: so persons familiar with
the cost OF installing electric plants
have stated.
As It now is. the wires are hung so
loosely that I'm wind storms they
swing and short-circuit by striking
the wires together, thus leaving parts
of the town in darkness for a time,
but this can, Of course, be corrected
lby tightening, etc.
Georgetown has an electric light
lplant which serves Milton at a dis
tance of seven or more miles, while
at Laurel there is an electric light
lplant which is run continuously by
saw dust and refuse at the Bacon
Mills. and il lights Laurel, Delmar,
lSharptown. Seaford and Bridgeville,
and is making money for the others.
We must conserve our natural re-
sources and. If necessary, supplement
them with other power
We have the demand from the peo-
pie, and it is the peoples own plant
for commercial current all day. We
have never been told from a canvass
of the possible amiunt of current that
would be consumed by the manufac-
turing plants, by the homes and by
the domestic purpose that day cur
trent would consume. We have only
a general statement without any in
lyestigation by a canvass of the town

TO be quite frank with YOU l convinced that the
individual members. Of the Chamber of Commerce are
not doing their full duty in directions. Lunch
have been held and opportunities given for
suggestions to be made by members and for discus
siOns be had regarding the same, but the members
have not been as free In this discussion in my
Judgment they should have been. The members
quite competent any officer or director to make
suggestions for the benefit OF Wimingtons welfare,
and unless you think of the matter and give the or
ing v~ur duty by tho organization you doing
your duty to the public at large. hope very much
Tuesday to have full meeting and that each mem-
Der will come prepared to bring forward that which
is in his mind regarding the welfare Of the Chamber
Of Commerce and tho city Of Wilmington.
That certainly adequate invitation to the
members to appear and express themselves frankly.
only upon the guarantee fund project but also
all other matters in which the Chamber Of Commerce
should evince interest. Only by such frank and
fair discussion by the members the Chamber do
s best work. Il has been said truthfully that every
man has at least one good idea and that mauy men
have more than Secretary Of State Bryan said
years ago that by comparison Of ideas the truth is
evolved. That doubtless will hold as good in the
Chamber Of Commerce It has done elsewhere. The
discussion at the luncheon today in response to Mr..
Marvel's invitation should serve useful purpose.
