Not a Theory But Condition

A few gentlemen. for whose opinions We have the greatest respect and of whose earnestness and sincerity cannot entertain the slightest doubt have expressed the belief that the Committee of one Hundred and Twenty five should not endorse candidates the offices of mayor and comms- soners One correspondent believes that the pro- posed action by the committee would be attempt to substitute oligarchical for democratic form of government He points out also, that the com mittee differs from caucus, in that any citizen may participate in caucus while citizen become member of the committee and participate in it's action without the of the committee The correspondent would of course, submit the issue partisan contest. and would, therefore, leave the whole matter to settlement by the indi- ,idual action of the people.
 The objection which resulted finally in the wipng Of the ward caucus was not to the caucus itself. The evil feature of it the fact that the people would take part in it; they would not exercise the power which they had under that system but left 1t idle be seized by the few and the designing. If the people had attended the caucus and insisted upon being heard, would have the caucus today
 Theoretically the objection of the correspondent 10 action by th, Committee of one Hundred and Twenty-Five or any other organization, is sound. If all the voters of Phoenix d very large major ity of them. could be brought together in a meeting. or if they could in any other way make known their sentiments, might concede that the good offices of the Committee of one Hundred and Twenty-Five would be required
 But theory must give place to q certain cond- ton. 4 very large number of the people will be heard from at all. A majority of them will prob ably attend the primary and a still larger number may oe brought out at the general election. But, after a!l by whatever process officers shall be chosen. they will be chosen by minority of all the voters
 It would he desirable to bring all the freely together deliberation if that could be done. Such a government would result would be the government of the greatest number, whose wis dom we should bow That would be ideal pop ular government We will admit that such ideal conditions would make organization unneces sary would be desirable but they do not exist and they have never existed
 There must be organization by good public spirited citizens there will be a secret organization of bad and selfish citizens. That is inevitable That is as certain as that there has always been a conflict between right and wrong and that there will always be such conflict. If the good citizens were to neglect organized action a handful of designing politicians, working to- gether against the great bulk Of the voters. working blindly apart or not working at all, would the primary and the election.
 But. says one objector to action by the Com mittee of One Hundred and Twenty five, Let us try the experiment of unorganizaton and how we come out" We believe there is too much at stake abandon the teachings of experience and engage in experiment.

COMMISSION
men PROTECTED
UNDER NEW LAW

When City Council met as COM
mittee Of the whole last evening
number of wholesale commission men
were present to learn. if possible, how
they will be affected by the new
market law. They were informed by
the cOuncilinen that their rights and
privileges are protected under the new
law.
The clause in the proposed ordin-
ance relative to the truckers market
had raised doubt in the minds OF the
commission men, they having feared
that II the suuatters we're driven from
the King and Madison streets markets
that they would move into Fourth
street. establish their stands in front
OF the commission houses and shut OF
the commission men from the street.
II was explained to the business
men that the new act is simply tho
old act brought up to date. II enables
the market clerk to collect fees and
rentals and authorizes the city 10 clear
the market streets at the time speci-
fed In law. Outside OF this. the condi-
tions will remain the same as hereto
fore until the next legislature meets.
when steps will be taken to repeal the
old and antiquated act and pass new
bill which will completely revolution
ize the markets and make them
what they should be.
1t is the belief of some of the coun-
cilmen that the time is approaching
when the city should have its own
market house similar to other modern
cities. Such building, it is pointed
out. would eventually be the source
OF much revenue to the city.

CITY GARBAGE
COLLECTIONS
Contractors Promise Members
Of Council Better Service
In the Future
HOUSEWIVES TO
LEND THEIR AID

A conference relative TO garbage com
plants was held between the members
of City Council, sitting as a committee
Of the whole, and the garbage contractors
last night. As result the contractors
agreed to stir their drivers to greater ac-
tivity and carefulness in making their
rounds. II was shown that much caust
for complaint was due to the neglect OF
the drivers. II was shown that Occur
pants Of houses also are at fault in many
cases.
Unfavorable conditions with which
they have to contend were enumerated
by the contractors showing that the fault
is not always with the man doing the
collecting. Among these are locked gates,
dogs in yard, garbage thrown on the
ground, and garbage in second and third
floors Of apartment houses. The con
tractors set forth their case very clearly
and showed under just what unfavorable
conditions they are forced to work. IL
was shown that the householders fire.
hquently magnify complaints. and that
they are sometimes made without Just
cause.
The contractors favored the placing
OF garbage in cans and setting them
along the curb and then having
specified days on which they would
make collections IN each section of
town. Under such an arrangement
they said they could collect all over
the city every other day. They ad-
mitted the money paid them by the
city now is just about enough TO let
them out on the contract. but they
also claim that If they we're being
lpald twice as much as they are that
would not make their drivers any
more careful than now.
Il was suggested by some of the
iCouncilmen that II the contractors
had supervisors and a regular sys-
tenn of making the collections the
Troubles would be eliminated to a
large extent The members Of Coun-
= Gil made It clear that they are not
trying 10 impose a hardship upon any
one, but wanted to get at a definite
solution Of the problem to satisfy all
tconcerned. The contractors agreed
TO do their best When the present
contracts have expired 1t IS expected
new contracts will be drawn, under
which conditions viii be very diff
ferent.

FIND OLD WHARF
NEAR THIRD STREET

a great log Of wood, about thirty
inches in diemeter and about thirty feet
IN length, apparently in we'll preserved
condition, was uncovered by the workmen
making excavations for the pier Of the
new Third street bridge on the south side
Of the Christiana yesterday. The tim.
Der was uncovered about twenty i've
feet below the level OF Third street, and
the position in which It was found sug
gests that the heavy log at one time
served as a landing timber for the boats
AZ what was known as the "Old Ferry
BY reason pf the frequent filling in
when Third street was built. when the

SHOP EARLY
The RULE HERE
Touch Of Winter Brings Out
Army Of Holiday Present
Hunters
SPLENDID GIFTS
FILL The STORES

Wilmingtonians are needing the in
junction to shop early, and the toucn
of winter that came with the snow last
night and early today is expected to
cause more persons to start out i'm
mediately on their Christmas buy
Ing. AS yet most of the pre-holiday
burden carriers seem to be women,
for, in spite Of the daily increase in
shopping and the huge crowds that
swarmed through all the stores yes
terday. few men seem to have Joined
the ranks of the Christmas shoppers.
Not a few persons we're seen bustling
through Market street with rather
large and bulky packages, and more
than one Of these was seen to be a
childs chair or a doll carriage or
some other childish thing that the
purchaser had evidently decided to
take right home.
A very much excited baby yester-
day managed to put her mother to
some trouble in department devoted
to the sale Of Christmas tree decor
ations. She had evidently had ex-
perlence in storesa before and she be-
haved beautifully until her eyes light
ed on a very large, shining, pink ball.
Then how she did beg for 1t. She
wasn't very old, but she felt sure that
the pretty thing was a balloon, and
balloons we're toys she was familiar
with. Quite evidently she could see
no reason for her mothers denying
her the only thing she begged for.
Even the long rows Of dolls had call
ed forth no extra longings. The
mother settled the question by buy
ing a real balloon, but it wasn't at all
pretty compared with her lost treas
ure, but she tried 70 be satisfied.
1t is easy enough on the street cars
to tell who are going shopping. About
every two women in three carry grips
or net bags for the safety of small
packages.
All the Wilmington stores have
adapted their sales forces to the new
ten-hour employment law for women
In some instances extra clerks for af-
ternoons and night have been engag-
ed for the holiday shopping season,
and in others adjustments have been
made whereby some OF the clerks
take up their duties later in the day
80 they can remain 1..sr to wait on
patrons. Shopping during the day is
advised by merchants whenever II
can. be done. Wilmington stores have
no end Of things suitable for Christ
