THE legislatures of Delaware are
no different than similar bodies in
other states, and the contests which
took place at the organization of the
two branches of that body do not
differ materially from like efforts to
organize legislatures generally. The
question as to whom shall be the pre-
siding officer of the Senate and House
is of more importance than the aver
age citizen understands it to be to the
State, and the political directors of
each of the two great parties. It
means much to the moral questions
which must come before the legisla-
ture for consideration, and it means
everything to the corporate interests.
The Speaker or President of the two
houses of a legislature appoint the
committees to which all bills will
have to be referred to for considera-
4iOn, and it is the chairman of a com
mittee who reports the bills back to
the legislative body for its final ac-
ton. The chairman can defer under
one pretext or another the reporting
of a bill, until its enactment or con-
sideration is well near an impossible
ity after the lobby has gotten in its
work by influencing the members.
With an unfavorable chairman of a
committee in charge, no bill has the
same chance that it would have und-
er another custodian. The House at
Dover has organized, and in selecting
Mr.. Hervey Hall, a Democrat, is its
presiding officer, the moral questions
to come before the legislature will be
sure of a square deal on merit alone
and all other measures will share the
same treatment.

WHY not have imprisonment added
as a punishment to those who drive
recklessly an automobile over the
roads of Delaware, or the streets of
any town? Fines seem not to have
the effect of stopping them, so let us
try the workhouse for a term. Drunks
and fools are the only persons who
come under this line of offense, and
there should be no sympathy for eth
er of these.

IN THE demand of Senator Barnard
and his Senatorial supporters that he
be made President Pro Tenn of the
State Senate, the Senator very justly
feels that he is entitled to be honored,
as vindication of the persecution
which he and Senator Frazier were
subjected to at the hands of the man
ayers Of the campaign in Kent County,
which was, to say the least, lacking
on the part of wisdom by them. Sen
ator Barnard is qualified and expert
enced in political matters, and it is
claimed that the Republican members
Of the Senate are evenly divided, five
to five, on the subject of his election.
