MAZE A WISE SELECTION.

XM think the members Of the Wilmington Cham
Der OF Commerce realize fully the Importance
of selecting suitable man to fill the office OF indus
trial for that organization an; that tney Will
make the best selection possible from the material
available for the salary they Will be able pay Nor
is there any disposition the part OF the members to
leave the position any longer than is necessary
to permit Of the making cf wise selection.
During the last year the Chamber has laid the ground
work FOR much important work be done this year.
The that will depend largely upon the
ability Of the selected to FIJI the position vacated
by r. NJ. Pndell, Jr. n a competent be selected,
the fruits Of the fundamental work done in 1913 will
be harvested in 1914 and further work will be arrang-

Whipping posr AND PUuIC sENrlMr, +,

TIE plea for the abolition Of the Delaware whip
ping-post made in this city on Sunday by
Dr. Louis \. Robinson, professor OF economies at
swarthmore College. scholarly and interesting Il
Is safe to assert however that is far from convinc-
ing to the thousands of Delawareans who believe that
the post effective corrective and repressve in
sttution which should be continued in use for the
protection Of society against the criminal classes
We have in Delaware many men who believe as
hrmly that the whippngpost should be maintained as
Dr. Robinson believes that should be abolished They
are men who stand just high in the matter Of good
citizenship as does Dr. Robinson. They are fully as
warm as he in human impulse and sympathy They
are his and, in instances his superiors in in
telectuaty. In addition, they know local conditions
and the enect Of the Of the whippng-post as he
does not and never them because of the fact
That he is a nonresident
No one who has proper regard for the truth will
deny that we have in state persons who agree
with the doctor that the post should be abolished
Just as we have others who advocate the abolition of
capital punishment They represent however. only a
small part Of population. In fact If referendum
vote we're taken on the whipping-post question. we
doubt that the advocates of abolition could carry any
eoanty in the State poll enough votes in any county
70 make the fight interesting
There is nothing new in this present agitation
a&Anst the whipping-post except the personnel Of
he group that is supporting it, We have had such
eftauons at intervals for many years and the yhip-
line-post has withsood them all So 1t will be this
time Public sentiment is so strongly in favor of the
roef that in community ruled by M tiortes r. cam
rot fail to prevail The time may come when that
sentiment viii change If so, it no doubt will be re-.
hected by legislative and action There is
however nothing in the situation to indicate that

THE PRESIpENT AID THE TRUsTs.

X, IsEwHERE in this paper we print the message
l. of President Wilson to Congress trusts and
trust legislation. is the duty OF all Americans to
read it understandingly that they may know Of the
evils real or imagined OF which the President com
plains and ascertain the remedies he would have Con-
sress apply.
Those who have followed the Presidents utterances
n the past and who the forecasts of the
sage that have been sent out from Washington from
time to time will find little of startling nature in the
message He lays special stress upon what he says
has been the had effect of nterlocking Grectorates of
large financial industrial, commercial and public
vice corporations He would have such interlocking
prohibited by law. addition, he urges that the law
for the prevention of the formation trusts shall
make the penalties for violation apply to persons
rather than corporations The President takes the
ground that every act Of sasless is done at the
mand or Ipon the initiative Of ascertainable per-
SON group Of persons. They should be held per-
sonally responsible, he ays and the punishment
should fall upon them, not the business organ
xation of which they make Illegal
1T should be Of the main objects of legis-
ation TO dvest such Of their corporate cloak
and deal with them as with those who do not repre-
sent their corporations but merely deliberate in
tenton break The law the President says. "Busi-
ness the country through would ! am sure ap-
plaud II take efectual steps to see that
the officers and directors of great business bodies
prevented from bringing them and the business of the
country into disrepute and danger"
He also favors the creation Of an interstate trade
commission for the advice guidance and Information
business men. and thinks II would be welcomed by
the business community.
That the message is scholarly document must be
admitted even by those who may not agree with the
President relative the policy that should be pursued
in dealing with the trust evil

COLONIAL THEATER.
FreHa the Manager to the Cross, Rever
 entiai Six Reel Feature.

Today the picture of all pictures that SkD world is adm1rfng will be the feat 6MRD at the Colonial theater It is the powerful and solemn spectacle of the life of Christ as portrayed in the man. moth six reel feature by the Kalem company, entitled From the Manager to the Cross. Every scene in this produc- ton was made in Egypt or it's environs llpon the identical spots referred to in the Bible, and the character of Christ is portrayed by a sterling young Eng 1ishEaan whose facial resemblance is nothing short of startling. This is in no sense the Passion Play, 'inasmuch as 1t is as different from it as it is pos sible to make and still tell the won drous story. It begins with the scenes at the well just outside Nazareth, where Mary has come, from which spot is seen the little village with it's fiat topped houses shining in the sun. Then the flight of the Holy Family to the City of David, the rest in the shade of the Sphinx, all actual scenes from the very spots mentioned, the vision of the star, the adoration of the wise men, the return to Nazareth, the miracles, including the raising of Lazarus. all the touching scenes with Mary Mag dalen, the services on the sea of Cali lee Gethsemane and the powerful scenes of the climax. This picture is shown Sunday evenings at many of the largest churches, but Manager McNul- ry is confident that the presentation will be equal to any Of these. The Plaut- Gladden. Co., are presenting to the public their exclusive musical feature, the Wassermann-Peer1 Photo Or cheStra. This is equivalent to an or chestra of six men. and includes a powerful pipe organ and all orchestral effects. This will accompany this great production at the Colonial today and tomorrow.

nual census of the publications of the United States and Canada, published in the American Newspaper Annual and Directory, shows that an average of five new publications were started ev- cry working day during 1913. The sus- pensions, and consultations make the net gain only three a week.
 The total number of publications is 4,527 There are 2,640 dailies-the evening editions outnumbering the morning By about three to one. There are 572 Sunday papers. It requires for ty different languages to carry the news to the people of this country. Large lists are devoted to the special publications, agricultural, religious, etc. but every class, every cult, every trade, every profession, every fad, ev- cry ism has it's printed spokesman in the 215 different lists into which they are subdiVided.
 Only. four industries now exceed in capital invested and value of product the business of publishing and print ing. In ten years the output incFeas- ed S6 per cent, and it is estimated that at present the earnings of newspapers and periodicals average nearly a mill lion and half dollars per calendar day. Two thirds of this amount per- haps represents the income from ad- VertiSing. In the nature of the case no one individual can be familiar with a large part of the publishing industry, which is carried on in more than IT. 900 different towns each of these is locat- ed and described, together with all of the publications, in the big book which presents the latest report of our pub fishing world.
