LICENSED KILLINGS BY MOTOR

Automobiles killed 969 persons in this
State last year, as against S5S in 1917
In this city the fatalities were $50, an
increase of 109 over the 1917 record.
Meanwhile New Jersey rnotorcar killings
were reduced from 245 in 1917 TO 1877
IN 1918, and this reduction was but part
Of regular yearto-year progress toward
safety.
New York's record in this automobile
particular Is shocking. The speedmanIacs
and other reckless drivers are of course
responsible for the larger measure of it.
They drive directly into tragedy. But
beyond the blame resting on them are
faults of the laws and OF law enforcement.
Besides New Jersey, there are at hand
in the East the States Of Connecticut,
Massachusetts and Maryland, all show
ing in their returns from the highway.
traffic the results Of progressive legislatio n, +,
not OF speed laws alone but OF statutes
meant to prevent the driving of auto
mobiles by criminals, the mentally un-
sound ard the habitual victims of drugs
and drink
Respon siole owners of automobiles are
among these protesting most loudly
against the laxness OF the law and the
authorities in New York. Colonel Ed
ward S Cornell, head of the National
HIGHWAYS Protective Association, calls,
in his annual report, for a general rising
Of motorists and the public to secure
needed changes and reforms in this State.
He should be seconded y all who consider
the safety of the roads an important part
Of the freedom of the Commonwealth

New City Charter.

The announcement is made that bill
is in course of preparation the object of
which is to provide Wilmington with a
new charter. That a new charter of very
material revision of the old one is badly
needed is beyond dispute, but no attempt
sh oud be made TO hurry a charter bill
through the Legislature until the resi-
dents of the city have had full opportunity
TO study its contents, express their views
and offer any suggestions that may occur
TO them as being an improvement. A
good charter would be good thing, while
a bad charter would be unsatisfactory at
all events and might be decidedly danger
ous. 80 IL will not do TO put such bill
through until the people of the city are
sure it is all right.
Our present charter has become obso-
lete. Attempts have been made at many
sessions of the Legislature to correct some
of the defects, with the result that it is
now little more than patchwork. There
are many ways in which il still could be
corrected, and, many persons believe, it
would be advantageous to have q COM
plete new one. eliminating the features of
the present ono th"t are obsolete and
adding such featL.es as ought TO be
provided.
Overlapping authority of different de-
partments, thus, for one thing, adding
unnecessary expense: dividing Of work and
authority that ought TO be concentrated;
giving only "a vague idea of the functions
Of some of the departments, the existing
fundamental law OF the city at ence sug-
gests various remedies 1t is believed
that if the principal defects in the charter
we're corrected, Wilmington would not
only get a better government, but the
expense could be lessened, thereby re-
ducng the burden on real estate, which
practically pays the whole bill now.

The Responsibility.

The Morning News says, truly, that
upon the Republican majority Of the
LEGISLATURE will devolve the responsibility
for legislation For, while members will
not always divide on partisan lines in
voting upon public measures, the political
ms aiorty must bear the responsibility for
what is finally accomplished. And both
branches OF the Legislature will be in
control OF Republican majority.
The Republican party won this victory,
ii the view OF our morning contemporary,
by following the course laid out by the
Independent Republican leaders before
the party was united In view Of certain
events there will be dissent from this con
clueion There are many who believe
the Republican victory was largely due
to the use of money-to the S3S, 600 sent
here by the Republican National Com
mttee on the eve OF the election What
other use could there have been for such
large sum Of money at such time except
Tor the corrupt purchase of votes?
However. there Is no doubt of the
responsibility OF the Republican party
for the outcome of the next Legislature.
Let us hope il viii endeavor to legislate
for the benefit OF the people, and not
merely for the benefit Of the party.

WAR INSURANCE.

More than 100000 officers and men
in the American Army and Navy held
life insurance with the national govern
ment on December j. The total Of in
surance was more than s36, 900, 600, 900.
In its present form this IS annual renew
able term insurance issued against death
and total permanent disability. Every
person holding this insurance may keep
u in this form even after he leaves the
service for a period of FIVE years. Not
later than five years after the official
termination Of the war, however, this
government insurance must be converted,
without medical examination, into some
other form.
The establishment of the war risk
insurance bureau by the national govern
ment was one of the farsighted acts of
Congress at the beginning of hostlities.
1t has conferred a valuable favor upon
thousands of soldiers and sailors and upon
their dependents 1t should prove Il
safeguard against one OF the evils resultant
from some of Americas previous wars.
One of the last statements by Sec
retary McAdoo before his retirement
from the Treasury Department was an
appeal To the men of the Army and Navy
not TO let their insurance lapse now that
the fighting had ceased and they were
was a timely suggestion Were any con-
siderable number TO surrender their
valuable policies now the loss would be
large. In very few cases will such surrender
be necessary. y.-Cleyeland Plain Dealer.

PRESS COMMENT.
GOVERNOR SMITH.

II 10 little to say that Alfred Smith
will become governor amid universal
good will. His rise has been of the kind
which Americans delight peculiarly to
honor. From humble beginnings he has
won his way to the highest Office of the
State. The ready phrase about Mr..
Smith is that he is one of the common
people. But this does not mean that he
has not displayed uncommon abilities.
1t is these, together with his attractive
personal traits, that brought him with
in sight OF the governorship. The State
would not expect much ut Albany II
merely an ordinary citizen picked haphaz-
ard out of the mass The peopie are today
convinced that the work of the governor,
ship demands special knowledge and
marked aptitude. And it is because Mr..
Smiths career is thought to have brough
him these that he takes office with so many
good wishes proffered 10 him.
We believe, too, that the feeling for
Governor Smith is more than perfunctory
Sometimes the phrase 81 wis you well,
when used to high official, is sort of
disguised threat People wish him well,
but are confident that he will fail, and
are ready TO pounce savagely upon his
inst mistake. Everything depends upon
the tone in which the words are used.
1t has been said that God bless YOU
may be uttered 80 as to be equivalent
to curse. There is little or none of this
latent animosity, OF covert hope of failure,
IN the general expressions of good will
for Alfred Smith. When newspapers
that did not support his candidacy and
party opponents declare that they hope
he will be a good governor, they mean
it. 1t is not simply fair play that the
Evening Post, for example, promises
the new governor. This ought to be
given to every man in office. But we
intend to be considerate of Governor
Smiths difficulties, to wait patiently for
his policies fully to be declared and for
his administration completely To be
formed, to bt, to his faults little blind
and his virtues very kind And we think
that this is the attitude of nearly every
body in the State.-New York Evening
Post

The Negro Revolt.

The revolt of the Negro voters Of the
Republican party Is increasing in force,
and j. spreading over the State. In
-eaiord there is an Independent Colored
Club. and here may be similar organiza-
tIons III other places
! Is not surprising that the Negro
voters should revolt and demand reeog-
nition commensurate with their voting
strength in this State Without their
aid the Republican party would be in
hopeless minority at every election. The
Negro vote is it's salvation
Yet the Republican party has practical
/, ignored the Negro voter in the distribu-
tIon Of official rewards He should have
at least one third Of the official positions
but he gels scarcely anything. Oh course,
b. expects nothing from Democratic
triumph but hc could not BE- much worse
of, SO far a. recognition Is concerned, If
lie SLOWED the Democrats TO win.

Which lure men into pathways rough.

Until my clay returns TO dust.

Until end my earthly task

Some great deed in 8 selfish hour.

And made my soul supremely glad.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

Why is il that all the mum cipalIties
have deficit, and continuously cIamor
for a carte blanche system of taxation2
The reason is the whole system of city
government is wrong. 1t has been con-
trived to spend money and to turn over
to politics the duty TO spend the money.
The people pay enough taxes TO make
city government delightful and it turns
out SO in nearly every case where the
commission form, with the managerial
attachment. has been provided II is
Just Us sensible To have the conglomerated
populace run city as it would be for a
family to cali in all the neighbors to take
care Of the domestic tranquility
Democracy is not q pell-mell mob with
hurrah and ''go-for- en-" spirit II is
quiet, weIl-regulated will that turns
away from the brandished fist and the
loud voice and executes its judgement
as quietly IS the buds burst or the snow
flakes fall If humanity has any enemy
worse than the Bolsheviki il is the loud
mouth politician whose love Of the pco-
pie has a string TO IT, And the present
system Of municipal government is Just
that kind. II was built out of chaos in
the first place and reveals its origin at
every step in its career.-Ohio State

worse than was the flu; and rows

You're bad as Kaiser Bill, if you
