WHO OWNS DELAWARE

From the Dover Index.
''The Delaware Republican would like
to ask a question; Who owns Delaware :
The Democratic bosses of Wilmington
The Wilson administration in Washing
tonY The Pennsylvania Railroady, The
Kent and Sussex farmers? The voters
Win some good newspaper answer and
explain why?"
WHY does our neighbor on the Green
ask the question Of another? II is pretty
free of opinions and solutions of almost
any problem from cooking catfish to
unravelling the tangled skcin of Mexi-
can affairs. Why does it not tell us
what it thinks about the ownership OF
Delaware 1t must not forget that this
is wear in which political leaders are
wont to tell the "deer peepuI that
they own the State. We confess an
interest in the riddle, but as we have
heard all the parties named accused OF
thinking they own the State, we shall
await with interest the answers OF the
Republican and other newspapers.
There is. of course, the "only voice OF
real Democracy" our neighbor, the
State News, that knows all about WI
minpton, and has promised to speak
right out in meeting at the slightest
provocation. The Republican might ask

THE ST. LAWRENCE HORROR.

A MOTHER great water tragedy has been written
"A into the annals Of the twentieth century. The
ramming and sinking of the Canadian Pacific steam
ship Empress OF ireland in the upper reaches OF tho
ST. Lawrence river and the consequent drowning Of
almost one thousand men, women and children, has
sent thrill Of horror throughout the civilized world
and carried messages OF bereavement and grief into
homes in almost all lands
Seemingly It is a tragic repetition Of the old, old
aorror that follows when two fog-beset ships steam
ing in narrow falrway confuse their signals and one
or both them keep under way until the crash comes
There have been thousands such collisions but for
unately few have attended by the terrible loss
Of life that has featured the sinking of the Empress
Ireland The pity of it all is that this tragedy oc-
Cured inland upon river, and only short dis
ance from shore where safety awaited all who might
be so fortunate as to reach It.
As has been the case in similar tragedies we now
may look to see each skipper attempting to place the
blame upon the other skipper; each company attempt
ng to shift burden Of responsibility upon the other
company; a government investigation; revelations,
official and unofficial relative to the lifesaving equip
nent OF the Empress of Ireland and suggestions from
many sources as in life-saving appliances
and navigation laws Those things have been for cen-
ures the inevitable accompanments OF such disasters.
And behind II all the deplorable fact that long
-As ships sail in fog and so long as mans fabfity
continues the menace of such tragedies will persist
and. from time 70 time the worlds sympathies will
be moved to their profoundest depths by such death
dealing crashes that which sent so many to
watery graves in the St. Lawrence.

WHAT THE PUBLIC DEMANDS.

7 the height of folly for the Board Of Education
to attempt justify and uphold the present sys-
tenn of administering the affairs Of the Wilmington
High School.
1t is the height of absurdity for President Baynard
and certain Of his associates TO proclaim in breath
the wisdom Of and the necessity for such system and,
in the breath. propose investigation to be
made by himself and his associates that they may sit
judgment upon their views, their proclama-
tion and their own acts.
The very instant that President Baynard and other
members declared themselves as defenders of the
listing system they automatically disqualified them
selves TO sit in judgment upon it.
Those who compose the Board of Education seemingly
have lost sight Of the fact that they before the
OF public opinion party defendants and not be-
hind the bar Of public opinion as judges They SEEM
ingy have lost sight Of the that the sovereign
public Of the city Of Wilmington constitutes the Jury in
this case and that the Board Education must Justify
tseif before that jury and before itself
The people of Wilmington are not going TO take any
stock IN or pay any serious heed to any act of sen-
resignation that may be committed by the Board of
Education. They yet prepared to have the
Shitewash bucket and the whitewash brush clad in
Judicial ermine and set for in the determination
'f High School matters They will not view seriousl,
public proceeding in which the parties defendant try
themselves and proclaim their own innocence presi-
dent Baynard and his associates may indulge TO their
hearts content in oratorcal Yapor they may fan wind

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
A LIBERAL POLICY THAT SHOULD
APPEAL TO EVERYONE

From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
The firm OF n. Snellenburg & Co.,
recently awarded three prizes in gold
for the best essays on the subject OF
"Delmarvia." IL is said that the con
tributions TO the contest were many
and evidenced the fact that the people
of the whole Delmarvia peninsular arc
becoming interested in the space Of
the green earth on which they live
and incidentally in Delmarvia products
Snellenburgs are never considered
backward in the least in the partici-
pating in the doing of something good
Tor the people of the city OF State or
peninsula. 1t was a happy idea, that
thought OF the Delmarvia essay contest
A year or so ago the firm conducted
an advertising writing contest. The
three best efforts each week, offered by
boys of from eight TO sixteen years,
were awarded prizes. The writer had
the pleasure OF viewing some of the
compositions, which were very ac-
ceptable and proved that the boys were
pleased with the generosity Of the firm
in conducting the contest and con-
tributed the best that was in them in
their endeavor to have awarded to them
one OF the prizes.
Such movements as these inaugurated
by the Snellenburg firm tend to take
of the sharp edge Of the tool steel OF
business and show that there is a heart
in the average business man just the
same as in the average toiler

The President will appoint his successor Senator
SALISBURY of this state. expects to exercise a

Of the field will convince him that his opportuni

there is the Democratic side in Delaware, only
Of the Judge Gray type. That is Judge Gray.
In Democratic sense he is in a class by himself.
No other Delaware Democrat approximates him

If there be Democrat in Delaware who enjoys

OUR NEW COMMISSIONER.

Nr AYoR HOWELL has appointed John Franklin
III Mock member of the Board of Public Utilities
Commissioners TO succeed J. Jackson Peirce who died
several months ago.
Since President Peirce died the Mayor has spent
much time canvassing the field for a suitable sue
cessor. After mature thought he has decided that
Mr. Mock will fill the vacancy it should be filed.
II has been the desire Of the Mayor to obtain for the
position man who all times will hold the scales
of justice evenly balanced between the public and the
public service corporations and who will display a
suitable regard for the legal and other rights of each
We trust that he has obtained such in the new
commissioner, who never before has held public
Office.
OF thing the public may rest assured That IS
that the Mayor has exercised more than ordinary pa
tence In passing upon the qualifications dsqual-
hcatians of men proposed for the place. II
Commissioner Mock prove a disappointment, it
will not be due to any lack of effort of the part OF
the Mayor get the right Let us all hope that
the wisdom Of the choice will be verified by the course

PENNSYLVANIA AND
THE BULL MOOSE.

From the Middletown New Era.
That standpattery still grips the Re-
publican party, at least in Pennsylvania,
is evidenced by the result of the state
wide primaries there. Senator PenrOsc
is nominated to succeed himself in the
United States Senate by a substantial
majority over his primary opponent,
who represented the better element OF
the Republican party in the Keystone
state. The fight for election will be
a three -cornered one, with Congressman
Palmer as the Democratic candidate
and Ex-Forester Clifford Pinchot repre-
senting the Progressive party. Ii the
Bull Moose do not cut a much wider
figure in the fall campaign than they
did in the primary, however, the real
fight will be between Penrose and Pal
mer. The result will demonstrate
whether Pennsylvania is still politically
corrupt and contented."

School Lew
~
COEUR D'ALENE'S WISH
Will Lower Total School Tax There
AND Raise it in This City.

The city OF Ooedr d'Alene is hrlDg
ing all of the pressure possible to
bear upon the county commissioners
to get them to fix the school levy at
an amount which would raise SIT so
per capita for the pupils Of the
county, which means a lew of prao-
sioaIly five mills.
The matter was taken up by the
Chamber Of Commerce at Coaur d.
AleleaSspd a committee of four was
appoNd to 60 before the commiss-
toner's and urge this levy which Is
nearly double the levy CT last year
for the same purpose.
This com mi,tee met tue commlss-
loners Tuesday. Charles Johnsoa,
superintendent of schools at Occur
d'Alene, and f. W. Reed lawyer
OF that city we're the principle speak
els and argued for the raise on tLs
ground that there we're poor districts
In the county on which It was a bur-
den TO raise their school money by
special tax.
They also urged that the oommlss-
iOners should make the amount they
Intend to levy for school purposes
known at once 80 stnat the different
school districts o-tside of the citIes
can know before their annual school
meeting, which is April goth, as all
special school tax levys must be
made 1t that time.
The reason why Occur d'Alene is
so anxious for large couaty levy Is
because Of the large number of pu-
pile In the district she draws mnoh
moremoney than she pays taxes. 1t ie
said that the difference between the
levy as It was last year ard the five
mill levy proposed this year amounts
to twel e or fifteen thousand dUllars
that Occur d'Aienes will get out of
he county school fund, more than
she will pay into sit
On the other hand st. Maries Wishes
as low a county levy Jas possible be-
cause she pays more muuey into the
county school fund than she draws
out. Il is stated that the raising Of
the county levy from 2.s mills. last
years figures, TO 4.9 mills. the pro
posed levy for this year, will mean 9
net Increase Of four thousand dollars
10 the total scnool tax that tn,
people Of St. Marlea will have to
pay this year IA order to have th,
same amount Of money for the
schools which sne had last year, ans
this extra four thousand dollars will
go to help pay for the schools al
Occur d'Alene.
Both places therefore are selfish II
taking the stand that they do on opp
site sides Of the county school lev,
question. The larger the tount'
school levy ls the better It IL 70
Occur d'Alene and the smaller It :
the better II is for 81. Maries.
