it is grave" question, when we re-
feet that alcoholic liquors carry to the
grave in this country two hundred
people every day in the year or one
man out of every seven and one half
men. Insurance records prove that
drink shortens a mans life II per
cent, nor is this all, girl goes to her
death every seven minutes who has
been sacrificed to lust, which is an ac-
companying evil of drink. This is a
form of trace suicide" which some
classes of people have seemingly over

Let us not forget that local option
very successfully protects the saloon
very much better than it protects
the weak and tempted citizens, who
are perfectly willing to do themselves

WITH the State Treasury facing a de-
hcit, we have as yet failed to hear of anv
purpose to increase the taxes upon the
Delaware Railroad and other railroads in
delaware. They have all paid handsome
aividendsranging from six to ten ercent,
and have just raised the rates for travel
ing over their lines as we'll as for freight
Aaaied, so it would seem onlv fair that
the railroads should contribute their
share OF the State expenses along with
the farmers, and other interests of the
State.
Milford chronicle., 1915-01-22

THE ten hour law as applied in Della
ware has caused considerable change il
the practice of having women and girl.
work for long periods in the stores and
factories, and that change has been fol-
the better for both the work people and
the management of the business affected.
OF course there has been some friction
between the executive officers and the
people, but that has mostly been adjusted
by commonsense arrangement between
the parties affected, and for that reason
there should be no effort to repeal the
law; but, rather it should be strengthen
ed, so it can be made to work fairly to all
concerned. In the conduct of all bust
ness, emergencies arise which require the
regular routine of rules be infringed upon
for brief time, and with disposition to
meet such occasions fairly. there should
be no real opposition to the law standing
for the benefit of women. 1t is a well |
known fact, that clerks in stores are often
allied upon to put in long hours daily for
very low wage return, and it is these
hat are now benefited by the law.
