Mileage of Legislators.

The actual expenses of the special ses'
sion of the Legislature. which came to an
end last week, were somewhat in excess OF
$40 OOO OF this total, the mileage al
lowances to members amounted to $40 .
This was on the basis of one round trip
to Dover for each days attendance by
each member.
This item of cost shows that even IN
the matter of mileage allowances there IS
wide difference from the prevailing
custom Of the good old days. Looking
back to the session Of 1877, we learn the
highest mileage allowance to member OF
the Legislature was S34 so, to gentle
man from Sussex who had the longest dis
tance to travel in going to the capital and
returning home The gentleman from
Sussex" at the special session who came
from the same section received a mileage
allowance of S144. The session OF 1877
lasted three months the special session
few days over one month.
The difference in amounts IS thus ac-
counted Tor. ne 1oft sSSshOi niAc"1N
mileage for one round trip per week.
The recent special session allowed daily
mileage In the old days the members as
senlbled at Dover Monday morning and
remained in session Friday afternoon
Now the members 90 home each night
and return next morning.
Compensation also has increased In
1877 il was three dollars per day for all
the members except the two Speakers,
who were allowed FIVE dollars. Now the
per diem for each member is $40, with
extra allowances for the two presiding
officers. The compensation Of the officials
| also is larger in amount now than i was
| in the former DAYS But i will be ad-
mitted that pay AT the rate Of s. per day
forty years ago was almost equivalent tC

Still, il is easy 70 see the trend toward'
extravaganza in public expenditures
along all lines The increases no doubt arr

THE RECORD OF CONGRESS.

There will be general acceptance OF
the verdict of Senator Thomas that in
Congress "the record Of each party on
the subject of economy Is ii record OF
shame Z" The verdict as 20 other matters

point Of view For instance, AZ the He-

resolved that the party should be proud

yention the contention will be 70 the con
trary. in each case according TO custom
made and provided; 50 runs the political
world away
Each version will be in some respects

miss the record with the statement that
nothing is so bad but what II might be
worse. of course, the majority has seen
almost everything through pair Of politi-
cal spectacles, but that phase may be
summarized as q case of six Of one and
half dozen Of the other or Of two Of kind

AMERICAN DYES FOR GERMANY

The grea; change in German conditions
as thew relate to that countrys trade IS
seen IN dispatch coming from Reading,
Pa Il IS to the effect that dyes made

textile industry here.
Before the war Germany was making
dvcs for all the world. Few, il any, were
manufactured in the United States The
German-made article was both better and
cheaper and eventually 1t monopolized
the trade.
The story Of the rise Of the American
dvc industry is familiar TO most readers oi
newspapers. Recently It has been urged
that special protection be thrown about
the dives manufactured IN the United
States because a great food Of this article
al trade is certain TO come from Germany
as soon as the latter country begins TO

Good Work of Safety Council.

II has been announced that the Della
ware Safety Council will throw its mem

What the Congress Did.

The great effort Of the Republican
campaign managers will be 10 make as
good a showing as possible for the Re
publican Congress that only recently re-
lieved the country Of its irritating and
offensive presence. Recognizing the harm
Il has done the party by its miserable
record Of incompetency, the party man
ayers are desperately anxious 70 put as
smooth face on the matter as possible.
But this will be a difficult task. In
more than a wear this Republican Com
gress passed appropriation bills aggreagt-
ING about four million dollars: the rail
road law. the efficiency Of which Is vet 10
be tested, the water power bill; the oil
leasing bill. vocational rehabilitation bill:
army reorganization bill, fixing the stand
ing army at 2e7 900: Civil Service retire
nent bill. II also passed budget meas
ure. but coupled It with such partisan
provisions as 10 invite the veto Of the
President.
But not q thing did this Congress do
towards relieving the people Of oppressive
war taxes. reducing the high cost Of living
or solving the important problems follow

PRESS COMMENTS.
DID COLUMBUS LOOK FOR us


Henry Vignand, former secretary OF the
American Embassy at Paris. contends that
CHRISTOPHER Columbus did not stumble
upon America while seeking western
route TO the East Indies. but set out TO
find what was then supposed To be huge
island in the western seas midway between
Portugal and Iipango, as Japan was theh
known from the book of Marco POLO.
Nor was Columbus the only man VINO
believed tho world was round, an idea the
old test books were calculated to impart.
He NAV have been the only man who knew
how to make an egg stand on one end until
he showed the trick to the wise men oi
Spain, but the rotundity OF the earth had
already been accepted by photographers.
In 1902. the very year Columbus dis-
covered the New World, the geographer
Behaim made globe in Nuremberg, on
which he plated the known lands OF the
world. On that globe he located huge
island, called Antilia, midway between
Europe and Zpango. Plato's story oil
Atlantis was, of course, known to Coiuh-
bus and other geographers and explorers;
At least, this location ot great island
in the very spot where Columbus found
the West Indies and the calling oi u
Antiia, the name practically adopted ior
those islands bv the Spanards the An
TILES, gives Mr.. Vignaud good ground to
claim that so learned and practical man
as Columbus did not turn the prows OF ms
vessels into the unknown ocean west oil
Europe without some pretty definite idea
of what he was going to find besides new
route to the Indies. He may have had
AntIia moro definitely in mind. AT any
rate, we have the right to assume that
such was the case and that the man who
discovered us did not just stumble upon
us by chance while looking for something
else, but actually thought US of enough
Importance to look us up petsonally ly.--ot.

in the idea of safer city. Perhaps in no
city in the country was a finer bit OF edu-
cational work done than in the recent
Foremen's Safety Course, which resulted
in Sc foremen. representing the most
prominent industries here, receiving safety
diplomas
Ii is understood these graduates are
now eflecting permanent organization
and this ought to have beneficial Ell
feet, especially when we consider that
these men have under them large num-
bers of workmen to whom they can pass
on the doctrine of care and safety. 1t is
gratifying to note that the city of'clais
are giving full cooperation to the work
OF the Delaware Safety Council, and that
nearly three hundred individuals are
serving as a vigilance committee for the
purpose of reporting traffic violations
The amount of good this has done can
hardly be estimated; it must be very large
in a preventive sense for more than tour
hundred owners and drivers who were
found violating the trathc law anu WIN
were called to account by the Council
have promised to exercise more care IN the
future. There have been but few fiagrant
cases Of reckless driving and these have
been referred to the police for their action
The plans for the coming year OF the
Delaware Safety Council contemplate
more intensive campaign than ever in the
hope of preventing accidents. 1t is to the
advantage of the community that tins
camnairn succeed In every way.
