THR PROGRESS OF. THE WAR.

Except for minor events there has
been very little doing in France and
Italy this week. The long expected
German drive has not shown up, but on
the contrary the French, Americans,
British and Italians have made minor
gains, as they have been doing ever
since the great drive was stopped. That
seems to be the case all through this
war. Germany's gains have been by
the wholesale, while the ententes get
most Of their gains through repeated
assaults Of . minor nature. It is evident
that the latter is more economical Of
men, but as yet it is not decided as to
which is the more successful as q mili-
tary proposition. BUTT is evident that
the s'wear-out' process is : part Of the
military tactics Of the ententes.'
The American Expend dictionary Force
is beginning TO make itself known over
there. This week lfor about thu fifth
time they made notable assault spn q
front 81 about four miles and went into
the German lines about q mile and
brought back about three hundred
prisoners. Thus repeated 8 similar at
tack last week.

THE SWING OFF THE PENDULUM

We are fighting aristocracy. We are
fighting for democracy. We shall win,
provided we do not overdo. It is one
thing to overthrow aristocracy, but it is
another and perhaps more difficult
task to establish democracy. It is al
ways more easy to destroy than to
create. We have the terrible. example
Of Russia. Government is necessary.
Most people take only superficial view
of the meaning and purposes Of govern
ment. They think Of government as an
exercise Of authority BY a few over the
many. That is true IT an aristocracy
only. Lincoln defined true democracy,
true government, when he said, govern
ment OF the people. by the people. for
the people,
a democratic government is essential
ly but an agreement among the people
as to certain rules of conduct, so that
all may have equal rights. but none may
wrong his neighbor. While it may be
necessary to appoint officials with
authority to enforce these rules, they
derive their authority from the people
and are directly responsible to the
people.
But IN the destruction of autocracy,
IT must be that government be substi-
tuted, for it is fact that an aristocracy
is far better than no government, and
anarchy means only. confusion. in which
the worst elements control.
~ Socialism is not and never can be a
substitute for democracy. Socialism
presumes an aristocratic government by
the people, which is q contradiction in
itself. Socialism would paternalize the
people, would have everything arranged,
supplied. and divided by "the govern
ment" as though "the government" was
something apart from the people.
The success Of Socialism would neces-
sarIly mean 3 new form Of aristocracy,
IN which the individual would lose his
identity As q part Of the government,
and he would depend entirely on the
government to supply his needs and
control his actions almost in the manner
Of the military service.
IN this world war for democracy, let
us be careful that we do not oyerdo the
thing, that the pendulum does not
swing too Tar back and that our state be
worse than before. History shows this
70 be the tendency In all great revolu-
tlons. Boiling liquids form SCUM at the
surface. s'' We must keep the skinner
going while the world 10 boiling.

Increased Crops Without lncrsa.ed Lab

w A1ssSOo
Take spreaders for instance. The
crop averages Of this county could be
greatly increased without the addition
Of another acre, another horse power,
or another man, II only the farmers
would utilize properly barnyard waste.
Perhaps the increase would amount
to is or 20 per cent, which would be
quite enough In many instances to pay
for the spreaders on about Is acres Of
land. Experiments right along these
lines have been conducted with such
results.
AS it Is, the fertilizer the farmer
has right at hand, barnyard manure,
Is in many cases either being entirely
wasted or is dumped on the fields in
such q way that it might almost as
well be left to ferment away its am
monia and other valuable plant foods
In the barnyard or feed lot. Drive
around Through the county and you
will see this for yourself.
This isn't q matter of telling some.
one else how to run his business, but
at this time when economy along all
lines is so necessary, such things must
be discussed.

Nothing to Worry About
II Right Tools are Used

In the matter Of producing big crops
10 meet the present demand, we are,
Of course, conf ronted by the inevitable
bad farm power and farm help ques-
Hon. Perhaps that is one reason why
we have paid SO muchattention lately
to the use Of farm tractors and in q
way have neglected the investigation
Of other tools for the farm. 1t can be
seen right in this county that much
power and much help on the farms are
not being used to the best advantage.

above mentioned when it WAS the boundon
duty and easily within the legal power OF
said Utilities Board to have required and
compelled said Traction Company, with
out any cost To the city whatsoever, to
have had laid before it the truthful
financial status of said Traction Com
pany before even seriously considering
the q estion of granting any increase at
all;
Therefore, BE il Resolved by the Coun-
Gil thai it ID the sense of the Council
that public hearing be held on the
twent y-seventh day of June, 1918, at
: O'Clock in the evening, and that the
members of said Board of Public Utilities
Commissioners be summoned to appear
at said meeting, with counsel if they so
desire, to defend themselves against
charges of misfeasance, nonieasance and
general dereliction Of duty in Office in
granting the said increase In fare above
mentioned and in the manner above
mentioned and to show cause, If any
there be, why they should not be i'm
peached and removed from office.
Following the passage of the resolution
Councilman Robertson read the state
ment that is printed below:
Mr.. President and Members of The
Council
There have been insidious attempts
made Ia have the public believe that the

is disrespcctful Of our Superior Court
The Council wishes to say once and ioT
all that the Council cntcrtains the very
highest respect for the Superior Court
These proceedings have been entirely
foreign to and different from the case IN
Court. The slnt in the Superior Court
is an action to prevent the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Company from
charging AN unreasonable rate of fare,
The investigation hy tho Council

looks to the good faith and official conduct
of certain officers OF the municipality
whose appointments were made by the

we would be dcrchct in our duty 10 the

Cation to satisfactory conclusion III

IMPEACHMENT OF
UTILITY BOARD
Preliminary Move Made by City
Council at It's Meeting Last
Evening

The Board of Public Utility Com
missiouers have been summoned before
CITY Council, on the evening OF June
y. to answer charges of mlsfeaSancc,
non-feasance and dcrehction OF duty
This summons il made as the result OF
the massage. at last nights meeting OF
Council. OF resolution presented by
Councilman Abhergcr, with every mem
bcr present voting for II. Councilman
Kane was not at the meeting. The rcso-
hutton was presented following n con-
ference between Robert e. Hartman,
counsel for the Non-Partisan League, and
City Council.
The resolution was not n surprise to
the persons who have been following
closely the meetings Of Council and the
Board Of Public Utility Commissioners
and the action was probably FASTENED rs a
result of the lattcrs refusal to meet
with Council on Wednesday night. Coun-
Gilman Abberger's resolution read as
follows:
Whereas. The Board Of Public Utility
Commissioners of the City of Wilmington
has granted to the Wilmington and Phia-
dclphia Traction Company an increase in
fare Of from five to seven cents. and
Whereas. This action on the part Of the
Board of Public tilItlcs COMMISSIONERS
has aroused storm of public protest and
Indignation against said board for granting
said increase because of the fact that
said Board of Public Utilities Commis-
sioners in granting said increase acted
hastily and without due and proper
notice to the public and without proper
inquiry and knowledge. but on the
contrary with admitted ignorance Of the
financial status and condition of said
Traction Company according to two
admissions already publicly made by
members of said Utility Board; and
Whereas. II Is q notorious fact and
common talk and so publicly admitted
hv the President Of the Board of Public
Utilities Commissioners, that the stock
Of said Traction Company is full of
water" and
Whereas, Because Of the above admitted
facts and other things there is n settled
public conviction that the SAID Traction
Company was not and is not honestly
entitled 10 said increase based upon an
honest valuation Of its property, and the
SAID board Of Public Utilities CommiS-
sioncrS betrayed the public interests
In granting the increase in the manner
