HIS AMBITION.

He wants TO be street ear man
I've talked to him of milliopaires
As only n doting father can,
But little for wealth or fame he cares
I've talked till my throat is red and sore
OF the pomp that life bestows on kings
And the crowns that many n dead man
wore.
But little he cares for regal things
I've talked to him Of n lawyers fees
And sought to lead him the legal way
I've preached To him of the wise NJ. D.a
Who save the lives of the sick for pay.
I've shown him parsons kind and good
And the ways Of them | have tried to
teach,
But he spurns the lure Of cleric's hood
And he hasn't the least desire TO preach.
I've taken him into marble bank
And shown him mountains of yellow
gold.
But all that / said of bankers rank
Was lost the minute that il was told
I've shown him the way that Id have
him go
As only n doting father can.
But he still insists that he wants tn know
The Joy of being street ear man.

Creating Useless OmccS.

We are of the opinion that the taxpayers
| of Delaware will accept with poor grace
the ridiculous excuses of the partisan
Republican members of the State Senate
st Dover for creating a new Office, that OF
assistant sergeant-at-arms. II was urg-
cd that one sergeant-at-arms was not
sufficient, as his duties in standing at the
main door were so arduons that he could
| not prevent interlopers, excluded from
the floor of the Senate by its rules, from
slipping in at the other door, and also,
most ridiculous of all, that he could not
enforce the rule against smoking on the
floor of the Senate chamber during the
hours of session.
And so these partisan Republican
Senators-with one commendable excep-
tion-vnted to impose upon the people
the expense of an additional officer. 1t
does not seem 10 have occurred to them
that they might have saved this expense
by directing the scrgeant-at-arms to oxpcl
all interlopers on the floor of the Senate,
by force of arms If necessary, and 10 en-
force the rule against smoking by provid-
ing for stiff fines TO be imposed upon
Senators who are so firmly welded to
the smoking habit as TO forget their duty
and their regard for the dignity of the
Senate by indulging in the practice during
regular sessions of the hody. Really, the
whole affair is ridiculous, almost con-
temptible
Another useless office created by this
Legislature is an assistant fireman. At
this session as at all previous ones, the
complaint is of too much heat in the
State House, rather than too little. but
this reasonable objection was met by the
explanation that tie assistant fireman
would be mainly employed in 'ianitor
work But how about the regular
isnitor Is he also SO sorely overworked
as TO require assistance?
The whole affair is q disgusting ex-
hihition Of rank partisanship. There arc
party workers TO he provided with Jobs.
Even the large ofiiciary of the Senate and
House SO amazingly in excess, proper
tionatelv.of that Of wears past-is not
suh cicnt to 90 around 20 new iois arc

PRESS COMMENT.
GOVERNMENT RAILWAY WRECK.

Senator Cummins's measure to pre-
vent the early return OF the railroads TO
| their owners without Congress consent
cannot, of course, settle the matter. If
| his bill should be passed by both the
| Senate and the House it could not settle
| the matter. The measure would still re-
qtiIrc the signature Of President Wilson
| to have any force. If the President were
determined To throw the roads back he
could do So
But that the roads should not be thus
thrown back is beyond question. That
they cannot be thus thrown. back without
general railway bankruptcy and national
disaster is the warning of every report
0f railway earnings that comes to light.
Consider, for example, the December
report to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of the Pennsylvania lines east of
Pittsburg. This great railway system
has resources which surpass those OF
dozens of minor railways all put together.
Its natural earn ng power - a proverb
in the raiiroad world. l. has ploughed
into its property not mere millions but
tens and tens of millions of surplus,
earnings To fortity it against any financial
storms that might blow. Yet see what

government has done to even the great
