lated the Federal law by Inc sale of such liquors
sarily must have violated the State law as none OF
the clubs licensed Our understanding is that the
Federal Government experienced little difficulty in
obtaining the evidence, and less in obtaining the
Indictments We are at loss to understand the lack
Of activity by the Attorney Generals office In this mat
ter It might be well for the State officials to obtain
from the Federal officials the evidence in hand and
take action before the Sussex county Grand Jury

REINHARDT AND THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COW.

TT is surprising that the members Of the Public
Utilities Commission OF this city ndg nant
because of the and dscourteous treatment they
received in the State Senate relative their bin
amend the Public Utilities law so they would be able
to do somthng Of reguative and corrective nature
for the benefit OF the travelling and consuming
public Nor is IL surprising that men of intelligence
and standing like President William II. Vance and
Commissioners j. jackson PIERCE and Frederick II.
Bacher resent the assertion by a man like State
David j. Reinhardt that they had not enough EEK
perience to carry out the proposed amendments and
that he would not move to reconsider the vote by
which the bill to make the commission commission
in fact as well in name had been killed.
We imagine that the public by this time has become
convinced fully that the public service corporations
lobby had strong grip the State Senate had
the Wilmington Terminal Company lobby and that the
experience nexperence of Commissioners Vance,
PIERCE and Bacher had nothing whatever to do with
the rejection of those amendments II may be said with
perfect safety that h not because OF lack Of
fence by those three commissioners that the bill
killed but because the public service corporations had
learned that they could not handle them and that Com
missioncrs Vance. Pcircs and Bacher had obtained
enough experience TO know what parts Of the Public
Utilities law needed strengthening to make both st and
the commission effective agencies in behalf Of the
people
The treatment which the commissioners received at
the hands OF Senator Reinhardt both gross aud
insulting but it in keeping with Of legls-
latve conduct that has served TO make him perhaps
the unpopular State Senator that represented
the First Senatorial District He seemed 70 take the
ground that the public not entitled to
courtesy to say nothing OF his support in legsa
tive matters How deeply his conduct resented is
shown by the fact that President Vance life-lopg
Republican nfuriated to such degree that, In
the heat of resentment he said he never again would
vote the Republican ticket We think he Is too good
a Republican TO permit a like Senator Ronhardt
public service corporations lobby and subseryient
State Senate to drive him out Of the party Of which
he has been honored member. He should find
comfort In the fact that both Senator Rcinhardt and the
public service corporations lobby have had their day.
that the people aroused the that the public
service corporations need regulating and that they
going TO be regulated regardless of Rcinhardt and
Hobbies bent upon preventing it.
