sam Gompers. President of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, declared yes
terday that the Railroad Labor Board
''evidentiy had been influenced by big
business in ordering the abrogation
of existing working agreements be-
tween the carriers and their employees.

we have had little admiration for

this country. 1t was hardly to be ex-

Delaware may well be proud OF the
record which its citizens made In this
campaign. IL win bo remembered that
tho tentative goal was more than
doubled. This is a record which we do
not believe that any other state can
even equal.
While much credit is due to the gem
tlemen whose genius directed the work
in this State, we are sure that they
would be the first to admit that IT was
the whole hearted work of our women
which caused such great success to be
made. They labored INCREASINGLY, day
and night. until more than sl50,000
was pledged.
Some states in the Union. with popu-
iations far greater than this one, did
not raise as much. or even as much
per capita But old Delaware went
over the top" in a manner which speaks
well for the love which it's citizens
hold toward all unfortunates, no mat
ter of what race. nation. or creed they
may belong.

COMPULSORY VOTING.

A fine Of So for failing TO vote in city.
State or national elections is provided in
a bill which has made its way through
the Committee on Elections TO the floor
Of the Legislature of Massachusetts
The impulse of the author of the bill
was commendable: doubtless II was his
intention TO compel good citizenship
But his proposed reform is sadly super
ficial. If a fine is 10 be imposed. it
should fall on those who vote when they
do not know what they are voting about,
on the numerous company of citizens
who go to the polls uninformed and
CLEAN what instruction they receive in
current issues from the ballot on which
they register decisions.
Nor it is beyond comprehension that
a man Of voting age should aim laud-
ably to decrease the proportion of ig-
norance manifest in popular decisions
by staying away altogether and keeping
his ignorance to himself. Among the
privileges of citizenship should be re-
tained the right Of free men to appraise
their own stupidity. Likewise it should
be remembered that there have been
and will be again elections on which
the only adequate comment was silence
from the electorate. When no choice
is possible, why fine the only voters wise
enough to understand the situation?
No vote at all is better than a vote
called out TO escape a penalty. IL this
democracy ever finds it necessary to
punish its citizens for falling to govern
themselves the State will indeed be tot
tering TO its fail. New York World

vertiser wrote her that he was young

about him.
That young woman had common

The Wilmington police. When the pros

Tailruad station, expecting to find a
blooming lass awaiting him. he ran into
the arms of two city detectives. who
escorted him before Judge Hastings.
The latter imposed heavy fine on the
dandy. and also gave him a few words
OF sound advice.

rare a thing in this world. The aver
