FRIDAY. AUGUST is. 1918
ON HOME WEN SUBSTITUTE.

TT Is encouraging TO note that the publicity and
camille committees Of the Wilmington Chamber OF
Commerce not going permit the indifference and
delay Of City Council in the Old Home Week matter
to deprive the people altogether Of the fun-makng
planned Wilmington of all the advertising benefits
that would have from the week of revery. We
think, however most persons will agree that the
automobile tour and the citizens parade planned to
take the place of the Home Week festivities will be
poor substitutes for the real thing
No blame can attach to the Chamber Of Commerce
and its committees for the abandonment of Old Home
Week next month If City Council had come to the
front It should have done difficulty would have
been experienced in putting the thing through in
proper shape. with the official end Of city luke
warm II not actually cold however It would have been
exceedingly dihiculi for the Chamber to make the
function what it should be for the credit our mu-
ncipality
Il goes without saying that the public is disappointed
II had looked forward with pleasure to the State Fair
features in the daytime and the Old Home Week fea-
tures in the evenings during fair week Comparatively
few OF our citizens will be able to participate in the
automobile parade TO be held prior to the opening Of
the fair is reasonable anticipate that the
parade OF citizens which is 20 mark the formal OPEN
ine OF the fair will be anything like as large as we're
some of the Old Home Week parades last year,
Still said before. that Is not the fault OF the
Chamber Of Commerce and s committees. They did
the best they could, with city Council occupying a
dscouraging attitude toward the protected demon
stration.

rrIRcE ANn prRLlc rrILIrIEs.

r. oNGRATULATlON is due TO the Board of Public
- Utility Commissioners of this city for having
reelected jackson Peirce president of that body
Mr. Perce is honest, competent and energetic. He
rs man who views with becoming seriousness the
important office that he holds. He looks upon it as
something created for the public good His policy is
TO make il the public good Il can be done
through the lame law under which the commission
operates
The fact that Mr. Peirce was elected by the unan-
imous vote of the board is wedeserved compii-
ment II shows that he has won the esteem and CON
hdence of his associates, just as he has won the
esteem and confidence of the public
Mr.. Peirce realizes that the Public Utilities act IS
not what IL ought to be. He admits frankly that il
Imposes unreasonable limitations upon the activities
Of the commission in its 10 cohserte the trans
portaton and other public utility interests Of the
people. From the outset, however he decided to make
the most OF the law such is and he sti is pur-
suing that policy.
It was Mr.. Peirce who discovered that provision OF
the law which gives to the commission the last word
upon franchises and privileges granted to public SER
vice corporations by the Street Sewer Department
and other official bodies He now has obtained an
opinion from the City Solicitor to the effect that that
section means what it and that no franchise or
privilege granted to public utility company by any
ohcisl body of this city is valid until It has been
approved by the Board Of Public Utility Commissioners
That places the commission in much stronger posi-
ton than IL has occupied because heretofore the
Board Of Directors OF the street and Sewer Depart
ment has exercised practically unlimited and unre-
strained powers in the matter Of such grants The
position Of the Utility Commission is strengthened
further BY the fact that the and sewer Directors
have granted several privileges the Utility Board
has been in existence and that in no instance have
those interested obtained from the Utility Board its
ratification.
In short, MIR. Peirce through his discovery has
made the Utility Commission much more potent force
than II has been.

PLAN WHIPPING POsT
FOR WHITE sLAvERs

SACRAMENTO, April 49, White
savers are to be brought into the
provisions OF the Cassidy whipping
post bill, If the present intentions OF
the author OF the measure is carried
out
As the bill was introduced It pro
vides for whipping for wife heaters
and there are several men who have
written to Cassidy objecting to the
bill.
As far as white slavers are concern.
ed there seems to be unanimity OF
opinion that their crime should be
punishable by. whipping.
Several persons, both women and
men, have written to the San Fran
cisco senator to make this amend
ment to the bill or introduce another
one bringing men who live from the
earnings of white slaves under the
lash.
One of the latest of these is Mrs.
Elizabeth Dohrmann of San Francisco
who urges Cassidy to include white
slayers in his bill.
