At the regular meeting of City Council
last night, a resolution presented by Coun-
Gilman James Jane was unanimously
expressing the view of Council that the
Board of Public Utility Commissioners
withhold approval for period OF six
months 60 the petition of the Diamond
State Telephone Co for rate increase
and the request of The Wilmington Gas
Co for authorization of an appraisal of it's
property.
The resolution was drafted bv City
Solicitor John W. Huxley following the

resolution. On the ground that il might
be construed rs interference. some
opposition developed. Mr. Huxley said that
the public had always had opportunity
TO appear before the Utility Board and
protest against rate matters when they
were being considered, but had not taken
advantage of the opportunity. Mayor

pressed their views.
The Resolution follows:
Whereas, the Diamond State Tele-

Board of Public Utility Commissioners of
the city of Wilmington for an increase in
telephone rates. And
Whereas, The Wilmington Gas Co has
requested said board for an appraisal, and

There is no telling how many acres
of tobacco were set in Adair county
last week. Growers were setting day
and night The greatest difficulty
was in securing hands, P. V. Cundiff
and sons, who own the Harris farm,
put out twenty acres on Wednesday,
thirty men and boys doing the work.
The price for hands, during the seas
on, was not considered, only a willing
ness to work. Many other growers
living in few miles of Columbia, put
out large acreage.

The SenateI Committee inves-
tigating the campaign expenses
of the undergraduates for the
Presidential ! nominations has
done a real service to the Coun-
try. 1t has revealed the fact
that the controli off the Republi-
can party, which Through Mark
Hanna in 1896 became intimate
ly identified with big business
has not sincesbeen redeemed. 1t
shows Governor Lowden expend.
ing nearly aIhalf a million dol
lars and General Wood expend-
ing at least twice as much in Or
der to put their claims to prefer
ence before their party, as if
craftsmanship were a thing to be
exploited through channels of
paid publicity, like patent med
icines or new brand of soft
drink. That any man must, or
that any man is willing to, spend
a half million dollars, whether of
his own or other peoples money,
merely to secure the nomination
of his party, is a sad common
tary. If it affected the nomina-
ton only, the country at large
would not be so much interested;
but such a practice cannot but
have a demoralizing effect on
the purity of elections. 1t can
not but make the people dissatis-
fled and distrustful when they
are given every reason to believe
that it takes a syndicate of
moneyed men to select a new
President, just as it takes a syn
didate to float a combination in
high finance. Must our Presi-
dent be a millionaire or one who
will make interesting it to mil
lionaires to back up his ambition?
We have long since been accus-
toned to the man seeking the
office instead of the office seek
the man; are we now entering
an era of President-making when
a coterie of over-rich men will
bring out their favorite and put
him over by sheer force of or
ganization and publicity? I'm
less we greatly misjudge the
temper of the people, the disclo-
sures now being made will cause
a mighty protest before election
day, in which every thoughtful
person who loves his country,
will join; for if the Presidency
Of America can be secured by
tactics so nearly allied to the
auctiOn-blOck game, we are all
