der conditions that exceedingly gratifying to those
directly concerned in the management Of those nst-
tutions and also to the general public.
The former has a larger freshman class than it

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
THE CODE AND DELAY.

From the Dover Index
Had we any influence with Cover
nor Miller we should oppose the ex-
ira session of the Legislature which
we understand is to be called for
some time in October for the pur-
pose of considering the new revision
of the code The State has waited
long and patiently for the report of
the code commission and can well
wait a few months longer At this
time no cne can give the time needed
to this important matter The next
legislative session is not likely TO be a
very busy one and there is no good
reason that the revision should not
be taken up then. 1t should contain
the laws of the next session. If the
work is to be a satisfactory one law
yers and others must give great
deal of time to its consideration and
who has the time in October and No
vember with courts ana elections.

The Fitness of a Printer
for the Postmaster Gen

By Holland.

Shortly after Thomas L. James en-
tered President Garfeld's Cabinet as
postmaster general, he said to me thai
he could not help feeling sense OF sat
isfaction that he who had learned the
printers trade and who had been the
editor OF country weekly shouid NJ
last have been named as postmaster
general, for that is department which
is brought into the closest toucf with
the editors of the United States.

office is the only visible symbol of the
Federal government which is to be seen
anywhere in the United States" he
said. Even the smallest backwoods

IL learned some years ago that it
was secret ambition Of Horace Gree
ley to become some day postmaster
general of the United States. and this
ambition was due to the fact that
Benjamin Franklin, also a printer and
editor, between whom and Greeley many
] thought they detected a strong intellec-
! tual similarity, was the first postmas-
ter general. holding that Office unler
the confederation which was established
Immediately after the close of the Revo-
lutionary War. Greeley's ambition was
never realized. although to his own as
tonshment he was afterward nomi-
mated for President Of the United
States. The Postofiice Department has
at various times been committed to the
charge of men who have been trained as
printers and who have become editors,
like Amos Kendall. Montgomery Blair
was also an editor.
81 was speaking of this at one time
p TO Whitelaw Reid, who, if he had had
the slightest desire for the office, could
have been nominated for postmaster
general at least twice in his career.
"Mr. Reid said that it was especially
anpropria that a man of editorial
training. and particularly if he had alsC
learned the printers trade. should b'

MPORTANr WORK FOR SPECIAL SESSION.

IF any new law has BEEN IS to be, written into
i the new Revised Code of this State the public
should be informed fully with respect to those new
provisions and given opportunity to consider them
before Legislature and the Governor accept them.
Any other course would be clearly wrong and dan
Eerous
A simple word phrase inserted in such revision
might result in incalcuabe harm being done TO the
community at large 10 individuals corporations.
That is why we say that every provision Of the
code should be forth clearly and distinctly to the
end that the people Of Delaware know what they
are getting in the report the commission and also in
any amendments which may be made thereto by the
Legislature which viii meet in special session TO
adopt the new code
This Is said without any reflection whatever upon
the members of the commission of the legislative
committee that is acting with them. Honesty Of
purpose does not carry with it nialiblity and even
the best Of men make mistakes Ordinary, everyday
prudence dictates that before the code adopted
ample opportunity be given to scrunize the codifyng
work OF the commission and also the scope and ef-
feet OF any and all matter that is written into
it. 10 one and particularly the members Of the Sen
ate and House should lose sight Of the fact that the
LEGISLATURE has called in special session to per
form an exceedingly important official act

Votesfor Women Column

1t was recently brought to light that
there is a man in Brookings county
apparently normal, who awoke from a
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep probably by the
war r~eyerberation from Europe and de-
,lared that women should not vote
because they cannot fight" which
not just accord with the Female
OF the Species" idea; but no matter.
Opponents of woman suffrage are
under no compulsion to be consistent
and objections to it are generally
emotional rather than logical.
Women in this country are not
seeking TO secure the ballot for the
women of those nations whose govern
ments rest upon force; and the rele-
yancy of this objection in our coun-
try where government rests upon the
consent of the government, is hardly
discernable. However the column will
go round" a few times with this
thing of straw. Women can fight
serve in the army in time of war.
They have done so many times when
the emergency seemed to demand it.

Van Hasselaer with her corps of 300
m in the siege of HARLEM to the
