MR.. WILSON AND
THE CONSTITUTION.
Prof. Ladd on the Presidents Dlsre-
gard of It's Essential Restriction.

From the New York Sun.
To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: l
quote this sentence from this morn
ing's issue Of the New York T mes:
The leaders Of railroad labor feel
that President Wilson is under debt
to them, and that he VIII use his in
fluence to combat the attempt Of the
railroads to have the Adamson law
declared unconstitut Onal.
Let us briefly analyze this sentence
and see how full of the most threaten
ing dangers to the very foundations
in law of the republic it certainly IS:
F'rst-The Pres dent OF the repub
lie has put himself under an obliga-
ton to the leaders of the labor
unions. How? BY forcing through
Congress the law which they demand
ed I'm favor Of their interests? Or be-
cause It was the reward of the vote
of these unions. which, as they ina
CINE gave him his reelection?
Second-The Pres dent is to pay
the debt which he owes the labor
unions by using his influence 10
get a certain decision from the courts
probably from the Supreme Court Of
the republic And how is he to use
his influence when he has no NOR
constitutional right to influence the
judicial branch Of the republic than

valid right TO demand from our Police Department ade-
quate protection against the lawless classes
There is no just why person who is law
essy inclined should be permitted to indulge in law
lessness In Front street any than he should be
permitted to indulge in It in Market street, Delaware
avenue or any other city thoroughfare-
II augurs well for civic betterment when Front
street merchants unite protest formally against ex
listing conditions and appeal TO City Council for relief
through better police protection The relief asked for

safe al all hours not only for those who live and
transact business therein but also for those who have
occasion to pass through it,
few weeks of repressive work by our police will
make Front street as safe the average city thor

while 1T has been proved that healthy

leave to differ from the statement IN

experiments are not strong evidence
that infection NAV be directly spread

comm 'ttee acknowledges "can seldOm

BUSINESS AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.

II J. BERLET. president OF the Walnut Street Busi-
lie Mems Association of Philadelphia, gave ut
teranco sentiments before the advertising and sales
manship class cf me Wilmington Y. NJ C. A last
evening that should taken to heart not only by the
members of the but also by every business man
in this city who has as yet failed TO appreciate the
value Of liberal newspaper advertising.
Newspaper advertising Is without doubt" said the
speaker. "the best general medium for the business
man to use whether he be a manufacurtr who is try
ing to effect sales for the retailer by interesting the
consumer IN ge neral way, whether he be retailer
making a direct appeal
Plenty Of white space is particularly important in
newspaper advertising it helps distinguish the copy
from that OF other advertisements Immediately ad-
joining Never put too many words in too small
space.
Constant newspaper advertising and repetition OF
the plain and interesting facts concerning the product
you wish to sell makes impression and &c bound to
bring results"
Tens OF thousands Of business enterprises in this
and other States have failed because those who were
promoting them failed recognize the saving grace Of
liberal newspaper advertising. Tens Of thousands Of
other business enterprises in this and other States
have prospered because those back OF them recog
nized the value Of such advertising

The Latest Authoritative STA. .enenf on In
fanfiIe Paralysis
(From the New York Sun

At recent meeting Of the American
Pubic Health Association a report,
made by three experts, was adopted
which summarized our present knowl-
edge regarding this disease as fol-
lows:
"The specific cause OF poliomyelitis
is a micro-Organism. a so-called virus,
which may be pos lively Identified at
present only by its production OF
poliomyletis in monkeys experiment
tally inoculated. Such experiments
have shown th.s virus to be present
not only n the nervous tissues and
certain other organs Of persons who
have died of poliomyeitis. but also in
the nose, mouth and bowel discharges
OF patients suffering from the d sease.
II has been proved by m lar expert
ments that healthy associates of polio
myelitis cases may harbOr the rus
in their noses and throats.
These experiments, together with
the fact that monkeys have been in
fected by rect appl cation of the
virus TO the mucous membrane OF the
nose and by feeding OF the virus. are
strong ev dence that in nature infcc-
ton may be directly spread from
person TO person.
Observations on the occurrence OF
the disease m ght seem at first
thought to be Inconsistent with this
conception, since contact between
recogn zed cases can seldom be
traced. However. this may be ade
quately. explained by the lack Of
means for detecting mild nonpara
lytic cases and by the belief OF tha
healthy carriers OF the virus and un
detected cases are cons derably NOR
numerous than frankly paralyzeG

QUALITY RATHER THAN QUANTITY.

m HOSE who have State county legislation in
mind should prepare their bills in advance OF the
meeting of Legislature to the end that they may
have full and fair consideration and be passed upon
with due regard for the public interest.
It may be accepted a fact that hundreds Of bills
will be introduced between the assembling and the
final adjournment OF the Legislature. Some Will be
good others bad and others. again, silly to be
unworthy Of serious second thought If those bills
be introduced early it will be possible to classify them
and get rid of most OF them before the closing days
OF the session.
Quality rather than quantity of legislation" should
be the slogan of Delaware lawmakers when they
semble in Dover in January.

has the most humble and inconspicu-
Gus OF is C tizens?
Surely here are at work ideas of a
quite appalling nature as to what the
Constitution of the United States,
which at one time commanded the ad-
miration OF the world. meant by It's
careful limitations of the legislative,
the judicial and especially the exec
ut.ve branches Of government to their
own functions, without the right OF
influencing in any such way as the
word plainly means in this use the
functions Of one another.
But. alas. the O6scurat on and de-
feat OF the Constitution in this i'm
portant respect is just what has been
going on apace since the very be-
ginning of this Adm nlstration.
