With so sc3nt a margin left to the
roads after paying current monthly

IS longer merely a question Of the

merely OF the ability Of the roads ss a

edneos. Under such conditions numbers
Of our railroads haven't chance TO do
that either. improvements and better
ments are out Of the question, because
railroads that haven't a safe margin
between revenues and expenses can't
have any credit. They can't borrow 10
buy what they must buy and 10 do
what they must do TO stay In the

JUDGE HASTINGS

n ANIEL o. HASTINGS, former Secretary OF State;
~ former Judge Of the Supreme Court; a former
Deputy Attorney General; former City Solicitors and one
OF Deaware's most prominent lawyers and popular men,
has been appointed Judge of the Municipal OF WI
mingOn TO succeed Philip O. Churchman who died sud
denly several days ago.
Governor Townsend Is 20 be congratulated upon the
fact that he was able to induce Mr. Hastings to accept tho
once the public TO be fecatod upon that acceptance
The meat Of I all is that II means that the Municipal
Court win continue TO be conducted on the same high
plane to which Judge Churchmon had raised after no
had assumed control of what degoneracd into drab
and slattern tribunal which the meaner classes of
criminals had ceased to respect
Judge Churchmnn left 10 Judge Hastings a splendid
foundation upon which build lie is the high hmIndcd
and progressive of man TO use that foundation
20 best possible advantage for public which holds him
in high honor and deems him a worthy successor OF
the who made the court the respected institution
il is today.
Judge Hastings has all the qualities which make for
judicial sucessssterlng integrity, common sense
profound knowledge OF the law, high of fairness
Keen insight into human nature and beneath II all, a
big and sympathetic heart which will guide him Alright
in the matter Of emperng justice that good may bo
dono the individual without harm being done to the
public.
II was instance in which the Office not only sought
but actually lmportuned the take and In which
acceptance by him inevitably win be attended by pecun-
ary loss sacrifice laid the altar of public service
We do not believe that any has been APP
pointed to Judicial Office in State who taken with

Railroads Es IN Ut by Expen;es

In the hands Of the Government. in
The hands OF private owners or in
the hands Of Plumb Soviet commit
tees, the railroads never can serve prop
erly the industry and trade Of the
country while they are being eaten up
by their operating expenses. No busi-
ness concern can keep up with the
times unless It earns enough TO expand
i's plant and equipment as the service
needs Of the country in which it op-
crates grow. No business concern that
cannot keep up with the times can es-
cape going to the scrap heap.
Unless the margin between gross
revenues and operating expenses Of the
railroads as a whole can be widened.
and widened very considerably. wheth-
er by increasing revenue. decreasing
costs, or by both, the roads, big as
well as little, In rich territory as well
as In poor territory, are going to

! cages. Delaware still adheTes TO tho
antiqtated system Of useless verbiage
/ and ridiculous repetition. Other St'tes
! have inaugura,ed a reform in This re-
spect, so that interesting comparison
is afforded by the fact that The average
/ deed IN Delaware is six times as long
as the deeds written in Maryland, under
the reform system, and the average
mortgage six to eight times as long.
Here is a remedy that would solve the
problem to a very material extent.
Another suggested reform is the
adoption OF what is known as the Ter
