Would be a Welcome Reform

Let lis hope Republican State Chair
man Warner is earnest and sincere in his
declaration to JON the Democrats in the
moveto have fair elections in Delaware,
free from the corrupting use Of money.
There could be no greater boon for Della
ware and her people to know, and 70 have
the world to know. that every ballot
cast on election day represents the voter $
honest preference
We trust Mr.. Warmers statement also
includes the Negro voters Of the State
and that they will not be put on the party
payroll as runners or camouhaged N
any wav. The State will profit greatly by
this pureirg. and every Deiawarean Will
have an increased amount Of self-respect
for himself and Tor the men elected 70
nublic Office if the mex, election should be
entirely free from the faint OF the bar
rel" Certainlyit would be a most pleas
ing innovation.

PRESS COMMENTS.
LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETING.

Complaints OF consumers that exorbi-
tant prices are being charged Tor vege-
tables and that retailers are in some IN
stances making profits Of from 100 TO 800
per cent receive support from the daily
market reports Thus market column
stated that lettuce selling at 81 TO 81 .25
n crate Of twcnty-four heads Ii being
retaicd at 10 10 25 cents head, or at
81 40 to Sc crate: that onions which
sell ut IS cents pound wholesale bring
8 cents or @ cents a pound retail, and that
string beans selling Mt 2 to 4 cents pound
wholesale cost at retail Is or 20 cents.
Such figures, repeatedly brought forward
in recent weeks, leave no doubt that profi-
teering exists, but they do not disclose
at whose door the heaviest blame Is to
be laid. Between the wholesaler and the
retailer several agencies are interposed
In the past, rs State Investigations have
shown, commission men have been more
addicted than others to "gougng The
retailer may have to pay the Iobber an
outrageously unjust price, and we must
further remember that the retailer must
accept the frequently heavy losses caused
by the spelling of fresh food while ex-
posed for sale The prices Of retailers are
under better control from competition
than those of other mddlemen.
In the interest Of the producer and con-
sumner alike speedy investigation should
be made by State authorities the mu-
nicipality has not the responsibility or the
powers of the State--to determine Just
who in responsible for multiplying the
price of peas and beans by five IN transit
between farmer and city householder.
Such multiplication, or anything approach
ing it, is intolerable A few years ago
committee of inquiry headed by William
Church Osborn called it totally unjust
that the farmer received only two-fifths OF
the retail price of his foodstuifs marketed
in New York City. Farmers are embittered
by the present situation, and there IL
danger that it will lead to restriction OF
acreage We have laws enough to punish
profiteering severely at any point along
the line, and we should enforce them But
consumers might as well realize that full
relief can come only when we have better
terminal markets and storage and de-
livery facilities; producersNshould realize
they would be greatly aided by cooperative
organizations New York Evening Post.

II is timely to note from the National
Municipal Review that Zenia. Ohio, with
a population Of 10000 hasc hanged her
old volunteer fire department into paid
organization. That magazine says;
'"The fire equipment has been motorized
and it is estimated that the cost will be
more than met by the saving IN horse
feed. The alarm system has been chang
ed, the personnel of the fire department
reduced and salaries increased 80 per
cent It is estimated that the total
cost of the present department Is less
500 per year than its inefficient prede-
cessor." This page from the experiences
of a progressive town, one-eleventh the
size of Wilmington, Is Illuminating Just

the CITY itself would be stolen if the people
didn't watch out. The purloining of auto

CHIRoPRACTIC TALK No. REGAIN HEALTH"

(By J. A. vOLZ, THE CHROPRACTOR)
 What is the cause of pain, weakness and disease? That is question over which untold thousands of specialists have wran- gled and still wrangling. Some lay it to food combinations, others say germs and bacteria. and still others put responsibility on several things all the. way from stale air the derby hat. In the meantime. the sick are increasing in nurnssc, .,. hospital is being etii -4 4sed anu uesPIee the there are more chronic sufferers today than ever before in history.
 Tn regard to this situation. here is what Dr Alfred Walton. the founder of the Essex County Hospital it's first President and Chief Of the Surgical Staff. has to say:
 Untold millions of human beings have suffered all their lives and died in pain. understood, while medical men have quar- reled among themselves as to the form character of the disease-whether it be tweedledum or tweededee. There are at the present time millions of sufferers pray ing for relief whose sufferings can only be met by removing the pressure from nerves responsible for the trouble. and this is what Chiropractors are doing constantly
 What YOU are interested in is PERMA- WENT results. Those who want temporary relief only can get 1t at the nearest drug store, but those who want permanent health and strength must look to correction of spinal subluxations. Chiropractic is the ONLY method which adjusts the cause of disease. It has done in 95 per cent. of fering from acute or chronic aliment should find cut just what Spinal Adjust ments can do for them. Don't delay, for health is yours if you will have nerve pressure removed wherever 1t exists in your spine. Free consultation at ofice.

Treaty Settlement Coming Nearer

On the surface may be noted signs that the
end OF the treaty fight in the senate is not lar
away. The letter from Niscount Grey, recently
made public in which he frankly admits that
Europe will accept the proposed reservations,
has greatly cleared the situation. 1t FULLY con-
firms the statements made in December when
Lloyd George and Clemenceau held their CON
ference in London, and it was stated that the
Lodge reservations would not be objected to.
Developments since then have been rapid
Administration supporters have seriously tried
to secure concessions from the republican
group. but without avail. While wiling to ac-
cept changes in phraseology on minor points,
Senator Lodge has declined to admit modfca-
ton OF the language or principle Of the reserva-
tons dealing with the voting power and Article
\. At the moment a small group OF irrecon-
ciables still stands opposed to acceptance OF
the covenant OF the League OF Nations in any
torn, while a similar group continues to de
mand the presidents extreme program. This
latter is not firm a> it was Jew weeks ago.
and from it enough are expected TO break away
to give the necessary ,ote to secure ratncation
with reasonable reservations
What the president will do i, uncertain,
Nothing has been heard from him ON the point
since his letter in November when he urged
lis followers to vote against ratification on any
terms but his own. The general demand OF the
country for peace, the Willingness oi the
European powers 20 accept the reserr1tions,
and the certainty that the treaty viii rot be
ratified without them, have not been without
effect on Tive presidents Supporters, He may
continue his attitude but he will be forced to
accept full responsibility for keeping the nation

Fair Chance for the Railroads.

Elimination from the railroad bills OF pro-
visions for the compulsory consolidation Of the
transportation lines is s,gn OF returning san
lty. he grouping idea. which seems TO have
been behind the scheme Tor government opera
ton, elaborated by former Director Nc
Adoo, at the time he resigned from the cabinet
His recommendations were based on the ex~
perjmertal consolidation hastily effected as a
wartime measure. and under which all the
great railroads o. the country had been thrown
together in heller skelter fashion, with re-
sultant tumble OF rolling stock train and engine
crews, operating forces and what not. Tie only
unity obtained was patriotic desire to develop
the greatest possible efficiency from systems
that were overtaxed, in order that the war
might be vigorously prosecuted. If the results
did not justify the effort the blame is not to be
laid on the men who tried to make the plan
work
Not for the sole purpose OF maintaining
healthy competition but in the interest OF
economic and efficient management the roads
should be allowed TO stand as units, permitted
under proper regulations to make such natural
combinations as will achieve the real purpose
of transportation as an agency OF public service.
The great transcontnental system is an exam
pie of how this can be worked out Two great
railroads connect Chicago and New York SIX
join Chicago and Omaha, and one carries the
business from Omaha to San Francisco Each
OF these roads is all independent unit, competing
with tho others for business, catering TO its
patrons, but in the end achieving through rea-
sonable cooperation all that might come by
reason of actual physical consolidation
Production and distribution alike depend on
transportation. With not only the present bat
the future prosperity Of the nation thus in
VOWED. congress will exhibit wisdom only as it
deals with the railroads in broad and generous
way Experiments may be postponed to a more
opportune and less strenuous dav.
