Do Not Want Piggeries.

The intimation that the Board Of
Health has ample authority to discourage
the conduct of piggeries here is agreeable
news. Wilmington has outgrown the
DAYS when we tolerated the fattening Of
pigs almost under our noses and submitted
TO the stencil and unhealthful conditions
without protest Those days, however, are
past, and in the newer era of better
sanitation provisions We have imposed
upon piggery keepers the necessity OF
keeping their sites from emitting foul,
offensive and unwholesome odors, con-
dition which makes it necessary to abolish
the pens entirely
An experiment in fattening pork here,
several years ago, degenerated into a
nuisance and was abandoned. Unless
some Burbank Of the animal kingdom can
give us porkeus with the odors and squeal
eliminated. Wilmington will insist that
they be kept cut o range of the olfactories
while they are being conditioned for
sausage and scrapple.

While the earnest desire of supporters
Of Womans Suffrage for the complete
success of their cause is easily under
standable, it is somewhat of a mystery
why they are so insistent that the Legs
lature of Tennessee shall ratify the SUI
frage Amendment in the face of State
provision in the State Constitution that
forbids any action on the subject by the
present General Assembly of the State.
The Supreme Court fthe United States
has decided that referendum provisions in
State Constitutions shall not supercedc
the provision of the Federal Constitution
for action on amendments by State Legis-
latures, but this is not the situation IN
Tennessee. The Constitution of that State
specifically says that Federal Amend
ments shall not be acted upon by Legs
lature elected in advance of their sub
mission to the States, rs this one was.
1t would appear, however, that the
present Legislature, having been elected
before the Suffrage Amendment was sub
mitted, has no authority to take il up for
consideration. That will be duty for the
next Legislature Action at this time
would prove cloudcd result. and surely
lead to contention in the higher courts, so
that the cause of EQUAL Suffrage would
gain nothing.

We Need n "Rustlcr."

Chester, Pa, has been picked by the
Adair-Hcyl Motors Co. as the location
| for its new plant, upon which work was
started Immediately. The new concern
is capitalized for s3,0OOO0O and will en-
ploy two or three hundred men.
This is three of four new industries
that have gone to the Chester section
within the year, and, naturally, it raises
the question why Wilmington is passed
over by concerns seeking-a favorable point
for their industries. This city is far and
away the most desirable manufacturing
point on the Delaware. We have superior
railroad facilities and splendid water
shipping advantages and besides, Will
mington is preferable MS city TO live in.
1t may be- explained that Chester has
q live, active set Of men at the head Of
affairs, who are banded together and
working hard for a better and bigger
Chester, and are succeeding admirably,
while we Us a city are standing almost
still. We have not had any new plants to
come here since the close of the war and
our number of wage-workers here must
have fallen off nightly in the last year.
What were our largest industries during
the war. those that gave Wilmington such
big boom, have either closed up or
slackened their production, and it would
be the part Of wisdom and provision for
the future to try and induce other concerns
to avail themselves of our splendid facili-
tics for manufacture and shipping.
Probably the city would be better adj
vanced in this direction if We had man
ager for such and similar endeav ors, to
give his entire time and attention to the
work Of securing new industries for our
city.

General regret, not only among his
fellow-townsmen but among many citizens
in all parts of the State, will be felt at
the death of DR.. Beniah l.. Lewis, which
occurred at his home in Harrington on
Friday last. While he had passed what
is termed the "scriptural limit of human
existence, he was 50 we'll known and high
Iy respected, and had made 50 many
warm friends during his eminently useful
life, that deep sorrow will be mingled
with the feeling of resignation at the UNI
alterable mandate of time.
DR.. Lewis, while of a quiet, reserved
nature, was man of many high and en-
dearing qualities. He was an able ply
stefan, in active practice for many years,
and a citizen of such sterling worth and
sound intelligence that his felow-citizens
instinctively turned to him for public
service. He served term in the House
of Representatives, session of 1888, and
in 1856 was elected to the State Senate for
four years. being chosen Speaker at the
session of 1889. Also. he served one term
as auditor of accounts, in each OF these
positions performing his duties in an Ell
ficient manner.
DR.. Lewis was a Democrat OF the old
school, devoted to the sound principles oil
his party and ever willing to advance Its
interests in every honorable manner. as
citizen and party man his sense ufttuty
was always paramount to other considera-
tions, and he left name and reputation
that will long be held in pleasing memory.

PRESS COMMENTS.
HARD-BOILED.

II was evident for months before the
Chicago Convention that the great bulk
OF the people, ~ individuals, felt that
their interests M we'll n the interests
of the country would be best served by
the nomination Of tho night sort Of
business man, but they took it out IN
feeling. There was no mass action, no
concerted movement, no real beginnings
OF one. Instead, we heard a lyrge amount
OF loose talk about what was desirable
imperative, indeed---and when il came To
action, our casual citizenry, being more
concerned with how to put the kick into
near-bcer, and other similar important
matters, than with the character and
abilities of President who is to admin
lister this country during its four most
crucial years, passed the buck to George
They let George do IT.
Hence George did il; and George in
this instance was the group OF Republican
politicians that controls the majority
Of the United States Senate-a group
that has now become an autocracy so lar
as the Republican party is concerned.
The campaign that ended In Chicago
on June IL with the nomination OF
Senator Harding began on the day IN
November. 1915 when il was certain
that President Wilson had been re-
elected, or some scventy-two hours alter
Election Day. :.
What followed was the result OF Degli-
gence on the part of the people and
diligence on the pnrt of the politicians.
1t was all rs obvious as the multipiiea-
tipn table. The politicians Assumed con-
troll and worked on the theory that their
assumption would not be disputed scri-
ously. They were right.
Had it not been for the Missouri dis
closures they would have nominated
Lowden. They liked Lowden, who ls a
strong and capable man, but politics inter
vened. Their hard-boiled delegates pro-
tested in local terms. They have bern
off the Federal pay-rolls for eight years
and they have State and city and county
tickets to elect this fall Hard-boiled
politics by hard-boled politicians.
That il what happened, reduced to
its simplest terms. And why 1T happened
may be reduced To terms equally simple.
II happened because the people OF the
United States allowed the politicians to
name the delegates with only pcfunctory
protest or participation. Less than 30 per
cent of the total vote WAS cast at the
primaries that selected these delegates,
and % per cent OF that 30 per cent OF the
total vote was cast for political rather
than for popular reasons. That's the
answer The people, who might have
put up and elected the delegates, allowed
the politicians To put UP and elect tho
delegates. Saturday Evening Post
