Western pastures are filing up
rapidly and when the feeding
season starts right, all the good
pastures will be in with their
quota of stock. Some Of the
poorer pasture land is deserted
this year owing to the price of
cattle which makes it to the
feeders interest to see that this
stock gets the best feed possible.
The cattle men don't see how
they can lose this year in spite
of the high price they paid for
their feeders and pasture.

A man in Salisbury was hunt

He was asked what paper he
was looking for and he answered
''the Courier. When asked
why, he said it gave more of the

there are SO many people taking

sENATOR GORMLEY,s coon Bill.

g ENATOR GORMLEY Democrat of this citv has
done splendid social service to Delaware and
be neghborng States by getting through the Legis-
lature the marriage bill that bears his name The
magistrates quite naturally will criticize it because IL
takes the license-ssuing power and much revenue
from ther Offices The Department OF Health officials
viii not like it because they had hoped that depart
ment would be made the clearing house for all such
licenses issued in the city of Wilmington and that
eral thousand dollars would pour into the treasury
Of the department each year Others may find ground
for criticism OF the bill in tE details, but all must
admit that the underlying and to the public the inn
portant features, will do away with the scandal that
has been caused by the many hasty and secret mar
rages that have contracted In this city and State
under the old law
The Gormley BILL which in all likelihood will be
approved by Governor Miller in view of the fact that
1t contains the germ Of the recommendations made in
the Governors inaugural address with respect to the
hasty and secret Ir>rriage scandal that has come
upon community, contains important safeguards
One Is that nonresident who desires to be married n
this State must obtain license at least nnety-six
hours prior to the performance OF the ceremony and
that with respect TO residents tweny-four hours
elapse between the time OF the procurement Of the
license and the marriage Those provisions put a
check upon hasty marriages To guard against secret
marriages the bill provides that the Clerk of the
Peace shall keep in his once a public record of the
marriage licenses issued and that person performing
a marriage ceremony shall make his return to the
Clerk Of the Peace within four days With haste aud
secrecy eliminated and with only place in a county
in which licenses may be issued, immediate end
should be put to the marriage market conditions which
have brought so much unfavorabe comment upon our
city and State.
Several Of the magistrates this city already have
raised the point that the Gormey bill is unconsttu-
tiona The ground that they take for making that as
sertion is that the Constitution provides that no law
passed shall take away from any public official any
Of the emouments Of Office during his current term
and that the Gormley bill seeks to do IT, Another
point they make is that II the Governor were to sign
the bill without positive assurance from the judiciary as
to its constitutionality It would cause widespread
harm should marriages be performed under its pro-
visions and the fact that It unconstitutional es-
tabshed later We have doubt that Governor
Miller who is careful man. will satisfy himself with
respect to the constitutional status OF the bill
fore he signs IT,

CLUBS AND CLuBs.

IJ think We express public sentiment when we
suggest to the Board of Police Commissioners
that they should not be the sentences they
impose on the two street sergeans and the four patrol
men whom they have adjudged guilty of neglect of
duty with respect TO the sale OF intoxicating liquors
In clubhouse recently raided. The six men have
long and honorable records and they are now and
have been for years popular with the people Those
facts should bear weight with the commissioners in
reaching their hnal decision in the matter
The members of the Police Commission must not
proceed upon the theory that the people OF Whining
ton are ignorant of the situation in this city with re-
spect to the sale OF intoxicating liquors in club rooms
and club houses. II is true that there are certain
clubs which the police supposed to inspect or
raid and that there other clubs which are TO be
pursued relentlessy. We do imagine that even the
Police Commissioners viii attempt to assert that there
is any warrant of law for the men on duty making
such distinction Or for the superiors OF those men,
from the Police Commissioners down encourasin-
or permitting them to make such a distinction Nor
do we think they will attempt to deny publicly that
they have suspicion, knowledge that there are GER
tain clubs in the city in which intoxicating liquors
are soll and have been sold for years and that
the feet Of police raiders never have crossed their
threshholds
We are not suggesting that those clubs which never
are raded should be raded but do suggest to the
commissioners that when they have under consideration
the question OF what penalties ought inflicted upon
the six policemen who avbeen found guilty of not re-
porting what they knew suspected with respect to
the shipley street club, that they also take into con-
sideraton how they would feel they called upon
to answer charges Of neglect duty as Police Com
mssioners for having failed to order the police to
proceed against all clubs Iseng intoxicating liquors
in violation OF law.
Another pertinent question is whether the action Of
the commissioners against these six men is to be con-
strued as due notice to them and all other members
Of the police force that they to report their sus-
pclons and proof against all clubs in city We
think not Were they to place such construction
upon il there would be sensation in Wilmington
within twenty-four hours.
In disposing OF these charges against the six ac-
cused men it might be wen for the Police Commission
ers TO enter the Chamber Reflection and search their
own minds to ascertain whether they have suspicons
or proof against certain clubs they never have
reported to the police that action might be taken
against them II they will do that we think they will
decide that consistency calls for nothing more drastic
for the six policemen awaiting sentence than a
reprmand for the past and a warning for the future

Senators Gormley and Walls, who opposed to the
amendments, are Democrats. The fact that the three
Republican members Of that committee have arrayed
themselves against the daughters and sisters of the
working men who elected them TO the State Senate
and are standing between them and a square deal
Is poor commentary upon their political Judgment
There is not one of those three who could have
been elected without the votes OF the fathers and
brothers Of the working and girls in their re-
spectiye districts, and there is not Of them who
does not know IT, Certainly it is poor return they

THE NEW BALLOT LAW.

From the Dover Republican.
Governor Miller has signed the sim
plified ballot bill. which abolishes the
Australian ballot and officially ap-
pointed voters assistants, and pro-
vides for a ballot not greatly differing
from the Australian ballot and also
permits a voter to call on anybody he
chooses to assist him in marking his
ballot before he enters the polling
place. Only the physically incapaci-
tated can have an assistant within the
voting booth.
The new ballot will be used for the
irst time at the Wilmington city cleo
tion IN June. A voter desiring to cut
his ticket must not write in a name
but must place cross before the
name he wishes to vote for While
the law stipulates that the intent of

EDITORIAL OPINION

a voter shall be counted, it is provid-
ed that ballot with a name written
on it shall not be valid.
A. radical change from the old law
is to be found in section 10, which
deals with the manner in which the
clerks of the peace are to have print
ed and distributed the ballots. This
section provides that in addition 10
the official number OF ballots the
clerks of the peace shall furnish to
the chairman of each political party
such further number of ballots as
shall be desired by the chairman Of
any political committee" These tick
cts are to be delivered to the chair
men for distribution.
Section II explains how these ball
lots may be used 1t says 1T shall
be lawful for any voter to secure a
ballot at any time from the chairmen
Of any political party or from any
other source whatsoever. and to. mark
the same at any time or in any place
before voting the same and to carry
the ballot which he has marked to the
designated polling place in the hum
dred or election district in which he
is registered and qualified voter
and there to vote the said ballot"
An official envelope. bearing the
initials of the clerk of the election,
is to be handed each voter as he en-
ters the polling place, and in this he
places his ballot.
It will readily be seen from this
brief synopsis of the law that the
presence of voters assistants under
the new regulations is entirely un-
necessary and therefore they have
been eliminated The provision which
enables voter to secure and prepare
his ballot before entering polling
place will save many a franchise

To the Friends of the Blind:

The bill abrogates the old and well
tried statutory methods of dealing
with this subject and seriously cur

important part of whose activity has
been to seek out the blind child and
smooth the way for its Just rights and

PLEA FOR AFFILIATED COLLEGE,


To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL
Sir. Referring TO the article in
Thursday nights Evening Journal re-
gardiug the doubt that exists in the
minds Of some members of the Senate
as to the wisdom Of making an appro-
priation for an Affiliated College for
Women in connection with Delaware
College, ] would like to ask through
the columns of your paper. II It would
not be a better investment on the part
of the State to bond itself for S125,000
In order that the white girls OF the
state may have the same chance for
an education that their brothers-as
well as the colored girls of Delaware
now have, than to issue bonds TO the
amount of S750,0O0 for state long
road" when 1t may have the dupont
boulevard as a gift. | believe am
right I'm saying that one Of the chief
objections that has been raised to the
DUPONT boulevard is that the state
would have to bear the expense of its
upkeep after it has been completed
The state would surely have to keep In
repair the state long road" for which
some members OF the Senat. advocate
the issuance of bonds TO the amount
of S750,000 and therefore, IL seems to
me that II would be displaying far
more wisdom to accept the dupont
boulevard lin some amended form If
necessary and spend $125,000 for the
erection and equipment of an Affiliated
College for Women, thus bringing Del
aware up to a level OF progressive
ness nearly equalling that which has
long existed in other states of the
Union. Besides the difference in the
amounts Of the two bond issues now
being considered would cover the cost
OF maintaining both the Affiliated Col
lege and the DUPONT boulevard for
some time to come.
Therefore ! would urge that our
worthy Senators lay aside personal
preiudices and take a broad-minded
and common-sense view OF this mat
ter Respectfully submitted,
