We trust the representatives of the
Electric Hose and Rubber Co. enjoyed
their stay in Wilmington on the occasion Of
the recent gathering Of the heads Of the
company and Of the branch concerns of
this country and Europe General Man
ager Garretson, who was host of the
visitors, acquitted himself with distinc-
ton and seems to have almost exhausted
the list of conventional diversions, even
to a sewing party. Probably the needle
and thread brought the women Of the
party into closer and more intimate inter
course than Bridge" Five Hundred" or
the dance. At any rate, it was greatly
enjoyed. If Mr.. Garletson had also in
troduced "ouiia. be would have displayed
versatility as a host quite ip keeping

war period and is still going strong

Tariff Interests Busy.

Those special interests that always
profit largely through the imposition Of
protective tariff taxation are now scnding
thor representatives Mt Washington to
urge tho enactment Of the pending Emcr-
eency Tariff bill, which has passed tho
House and is now in the Senate. Doubt
was expressed at first about this bill
finding favor Mt this session. but the tariff
cormorants became 80 pei sstent that they
seem 30 have overcome all Republican
opposition Even Senator Ponrose, who
at first announced there would be no
tariff legislation until after the assembling
Of the new Congress, had to turn cont and
come over TO the support of the measure.
The tariff hogs of his own State are too
numerous for him 10 disregard, notwith-
standing he was reelected TO another term
of six years at the recent election IN Penn
sylvania, although cut heavily by those
who are opposed to him.
Hearings on this bill are now under
way before the Senate finance committee,
and the tariff benehcaries are having
their innings Representatives OF the
wooden interests, naturally, are at the
front. They arc not inclined to surrender
any OF the large piofits they enjoyed
during the war times, and would make NO
for the present reductions in prices by the
restrictions of protective tariff taxation,
which would result in forcing prices up
ward to at least the extent Of the tariff
taxation, and in all probability much
moro.
There will be protests, Of course, against
this kind of imposition upon the people,

always stood for high protective tariff
taxation, and at the last election II was
ipdorsed by the greatest popular majority

try. So the people viii get what they
voted for. and will have TO stand the bur
den for awhile. until they can elect n Con
gree that will restore the tariff conditions
that have prevailed during the past s's
years. under which the country has been
more prosperous and labor better paid
than in any other period IT our countrye

vhelminrly for "a change" and they viii

REINFORCEMENT.

Although the House of Representatives
is already so unwieldy, because of its big
membership, that its work cannot be
properly handled, the Siegel reappor-
tionment bill, providing for an inerese
of AS members, will be reported today
and, unless there is loud public protest
it will doubtless be passed Probably
the most effective argument for it will be
the assertion that there isn't much prac-
teal difference between n House OF 4S3
members and one of 435 members, as at
present, and that is true; but the same
argument can always be used after the
decenniaI census, and has been. with the
result that the increase ALWAYS goes
through.

senting his bill, will also introduce a

Retfcr Police Service in Sight.

Now that We have the three-shht police
system and the force recruited to it's
maximum strength, we may expect better
scr, ice Of the men, and their determination
10 end the activities Of the lawless ele-
meuts of our community gives assurance
that the officers are prompted by sense
Of pride in their work, and are determined
to get the upper band Of the criminal
classes The fact that they will make
suspicious characters explain themselves,
and arrest those who violate the law pro-
hibitirg the carrying of firearms, shows that
they are striking in the right direction
The man who habituallv goes about
armed with deadly weapons is scarcely
fit to be at large; he is always dangerous,
no matter bow good record he may have
had for peace and order, and the IN
dividual who is found wandering about
suspiciously can easily establish his
identity if be has DO evil intentions.
There have been too many shootings
and robberies in the past and if the police
can check this form of crime they viii
have warranted the additional expense to
the taxpayers that the increased force en-
tails, and which eascs the work Of the
policemen and gives them ample time for
rest and recreation, so that they may be
fresh and alert during the entire eight hour
Of their daily service.
