snOuLD wAR on TREspAssERs.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
There seems to be feeling that the
railroads are heartless and arbitrary
corporations. and that their request
OF people to keep off, IS a piece Of inn
pertinence. But the real reason for
the campaign that the railroads have
been making against trespassing urOn
their property is because the officials
and trainmen do not like to kill peo-
pie. Men, women and children Will
walk on railroad tracks and when
train Is coming they will step from
in front OF one train only to find them
selves under the wheels of a train go
Ing in the opposite direction. OF
course they do not uuaully intend to
kill themselves. but as a matter OF
fact more than half OF all the people
killed in America by railway trains
Nre persons who are trespassing on
railroad property For This reason the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
suggested that the United states Con-
gress enact an anti-trespassing law
and that all the States should follow Il
up by passing similar laws This
would save many thousands OF lives
every year. The Delaware Legislature
should take the matter mp and set
good example for other States to fol-
low.

cent. OF maximum peace strength Gun,
fortunately we have no reserves IL
bring IL up TO contemplated wal
strength), and nothing is being done
in Washington to fill the ranks. al
though the country today stands IL
tho shadow Of war.
"The President" the national de-
fence act provides, "is authorized t.
organize Immediately the entire in
crease authorized by this act, or Sc
much thereof as he may deem neces,
ary," but Mr.. Wilson allows the
army, that is to say the preparedness
Of the land forces, to drift, because
so II is said, action on his part would
give the Imperial Government an ex.
cuse for declaring war, just as wat
done in the case of Russia when mobi'
lization had been ordered.
Whether this is true Of Mr.. Viii
sons state of mind or not, he mus
have q reason for not taking the steH
in preparing the nation for possible
hostilties VIII oh It is his manifest
duty to take. Obviously his reason IL
OF a pacifist nature, but this is no time
to hesitate and falter.
If we are going 70 let preparatloni
for the security of the nation wait on
the pleasure Of Germany. then may
God heln US!
II the imminence of war passes--it
surely will not pass until the conflict
in Europe ends-the defence forces
can be reduced by act Of Congress;
but If we fail at this time TO put the
national defence act into operation we
shall be the most fatuous people in
the annals OF time and may soon find
ourselves rushing upon destruction

rIwINrM Am rmcHr,s FUTURE.

rv,ug f,turo OF aviation belongs TO America II Is
TO Judge from the exhibits in tho Aeronsutc Expo
siuon in the Grand Central Palace. New York city
Tho future is ours because aluminium is Dre-emi-
nently Americas metal And aluminium Is TO play the
most mportant mart in the coming development Of
chanical flight
The all-aiuminum motor IS here, exhibited in tho fly
ing show in a variety OF forms Three complete alum
mum engines are shown The next development in ait
planes is expected to he propellors Of aluminium Alum
mum framework made the German zeppelins possible
and now il is apparent that this type OF construction IS
10 be carried across into the manufacture OF aero
planes.
All this is being made possible by the remarkable
development in years OF the science Of casting
aluminium. especially in is higher alloys
Aluminium before many years have passed will be
used in places where today the suggestion OF its en-
ployment would be ridcued" said James L. Diamond,
an automobile aviator engineer. Who is attending tho
show I'VE must remember that while iron, gold, sill
yer and bronze have been used by man since prehs-
torc times aluminium is product Of our own genera
ton Europe discovered its existence, but America
made It's use possible through the refining dis
covered in 1886 One-eighth Of the earths crust is
aluminium yet IFS use might never have been extensive
II a cheap process OF reduction had not been diseov
cred
erhis country has large supply OF aluminium
which can never be threatened, because America alone
possesses the waterpower which forever makes pos
sibe the production OF aluminium on scale larger and
cheaper than Europe can attain. With the pro-
duct perfected the efforts Of aluminium renners al
loyers and manufacturers are now being directed TO
the end that the next period OF world history will DO
tho aluminium age. The great developments in
chanical flight in the future will be due TO aluminium
and America largely the home OF aluminium will lead
in the development"

WANTS HONEST INDIAN APPROPRIATIONS.

TNHE criticism that is frequently made Of Western
men that by opposing item in the Indian appro-
pration bill they thereby prove themselves unfriendy
to tho Indian resented by Senator Albert B. Fall of
New Mexico.
"Ihat those OF in the West" says Mr. Fall, who
are engaged in looking after tho interests OF
stituents whenever indian is mentioned trying
to steal something from the Indian Is a gross libel"
Senator Fall contends that many items have been
inserted by the Democrats in the Indian appropriation
bill with practically information which 10 base
their action and that because OF the Of
OF the language that bill large expended
in the discretion OF clerk in the Indian Bureau.
Is against that form OF legislation that Mr. Fall COM
plains and he insists that his criticisms are made only
from desire that the Indians shall get the worth OF
the money that is set aside for them

WASHINGTON AND PROHIBITION.


From the Buffalo Engineer.
The United States Senate has gone
on record as being in favor Of abol-
ishing saloons in Washington. The
vote taken yesterday showed ffty-fve
Senators voting yes and thirty-two
voting mo" An amendment which
would have given the voters of the
capital an opportunity TO decide the
question was defeated by a narrow
margin.
The majority OF the Senators who
voted in favor Of the Shepard Bill
come from States that have prohibi-
ton laws. Just why those Senators
should be called upon 10 decide how
the city OF Washington should OBJ
serve the law is difficult TO determine,
but somehow they are able to do that
kind of a thing in this country and the
people stand for il.
New York States two Senators, Mr..
O'Gorman and Mr.. Wadsworth, voted
against the bill. They, in spite Of all
kinds of intimidations and classified
ton, declined to be brow-beaten by
the advocates Of the drastic move. It
is not unlikely that a certain individ-
ual who will shortly visit Buffalo, will
say that Senators O'Gorman and Wads-
worth are the agents Of the liquor in
terests. Both of these men are too
well known by the people Of the En-
pire State. however, TO place in any
class except the highest. Their mo-
tives in casting their votes for any

A dry" Washington will be the joke
OF the nations. II is hoped the House
will carefully consider the conse-
quences before taking Affirmative ac-
ton upon this very important ques-
ton.

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
A GOOD MOVE.
I'M the Elkton NYhlg.

From the Elkton Wing.
Sussex county Delaware, has inau-
gurated a healthy reform in one de-
partment Of its county management.
The County Commissioners have de-
cidod TO have all the printing Tor the
county put out at bids in order that
all printers may have an equal chance
at the work and that the county may
save the public's money. The custom
has been in Sussex, as 10 has been in
most places. for county officials to
give printing jobs to their friends
and political supporters without re-
gard TO cost. This has resulted. OF
course, in much waste OF public funds,
and the County Commissioners Of Sus-
sex deserve much credit for the cour-
age 20 inaugurate a new and better
method---the business-lilxe method OF
putting the printing out at bids as do
other business concerns.

WELCOME HOME.

From tho Dover Dolawarean.
The Delaware soldiers received =
warm and fitting welcome on their re-
turn last Wednesday. They had been
away for more than six months do
ing duty on the Mexican border. u Is
a matter of pride TO the State and Of
great credit to them that they acquit-
ted themselves so well.
They come back richer in patriotism
and in equipment because of the ex-
perience. We have no doubt they are
better prepared for the opportunities
and obligations OF life, whatever the
call may be. IL is TO be hoped that
they can soon return to their families
and resume their accustomed duties
and operations. II so they should
be better men and better citizens be-
cause OF the service. If the country
shalt need them in the future, they are
ready They have given a good ac-
county OF themselves already, and II
called TO further and greater service
they can be counted upon to do honor
to the State and to maintain ITS high
traditions.
Welcome home, soldier boys, and all
good wishes.
