FRANCES ANNOUNCEMENT.

Whatever else may be said of Sena-
tor France, his formal announcement
that he will be a candidate for re-
nomination shows that he has the
courage of his convictions. as his
friends would put it, or the foolhardi-
ness Of his convictions, as his enc
mics might phrase It,. But whether
his fellow-Republicans love or hate
him. II is certain that they must now
reckon with him in making up this
years slate. He IS not to be run off
the field by political maledictions or
read out of the party without the
consent Of the voter. He must be TAX

the earnestness and intensity Of pur-
pose which he Is likely to throw into
his campaign
The specific planks in his pla tform
are to come later Yesterdays an
nouncenlent is, in a sense, simply a
generalization. But it is not one to
be sneered at, If in detail his record
can be made to agree with the gen
eral principle laid down. Stated in a
sentence. his platform Is a return 10
constitutional government. Until re-
cent years it has not been considered
necessary to make the Constitution
n campaign issue. In announcing that
he VIII do this, Senator France is
emphasizing the feeling, which has
been growing stronger and stronger
OF late. that if the Constitution is not
TO be made a dead letter, the fight
for il must be taken to the people.

appeal OF this sort will be received by

CHIEF AIM OF POLITICS.

The Republican Spokesman tell US
to the very dollar what colossal saw
ings have been effected in the public
outlay by this Administration in the
current fiscal year. The next day the
Democratic Spokesman. having had
little time to examine the impressive
statistics presented, blow them full os
holes. Probably the truth lies some
where between the Republican boast
and the Democratic exposure, but no
man without access to the records
and with anything else to do with his
time could hope to satisfy himself just
where. Nothing is easier than to make
figures lie for either side.
The depressing thing about politics
is that both sides wish the figures to
lie for them. The desire to put ones
best foot forward has been magnified
in political life into determination To
put 1t forward whether it stands on
drm ground or not. The low estate
of politics, the fact that few of the
best men care to enter the game, is
ascribahle very largely to the pretense
hypocrisy and sham which gave II It's
character and its reputation. It is
anything to win. Hardly one of the
candidates who soon will be rushing
about their home States trying to lie
elected. as If 1t made world of diff
ference whether they are or not. will
dare tell the whole truth whereof he
speaks.-Ohio State Journal.

And In the second place, It Is not at

A DETENTION HOME.

A committee representing the Ju-
venile Court Association appeared
before the finance committee of city
Council, this week. In support of an
appeal for financial support from the
city for the establishment OF de-
tention house in Wilmington. where
youthful culprits awaiting the dispo-
sition Of the court may be kept under
supervision. Mayor Harvey warmly
Endorsed the appeal, and there Is no
doubt the cause has the sympathy Of
nearly all the community, The cost
of detention home would be at least
$4,000.
II is unfortunate that City Coun-
Gil finds itself in such financial straits
as 10 be unable to provide completely
for this much-needed detention home.
To erect one that would entirely meet
the demands OF tho situation would
cost about 100000, and that IL the
kind Wa should have. But the City
Council is struggling with the difficult
task Of providing for essentials of
general administration without being
compelled TO increase the tax rate. and
cannot see It's way TO aid this worthy
project.
Really, the State should assume
this task and properly perform II. The
Juvenile Court is State institu.
ton. and Wilmington pays enough

FOR EXCESSIVE WAGES.

Under the present conditions the de-
cislon OF tho Labor Board that the rail
roads cannot send repair work to out
side shops means that the companies
must pay wages in excess OF the
market rate.
The reason for placing outside con-
tracts ie TO be found In the refusal of
the board 10 approve wage schedules
rejecting conditions in the labor mar
ket. As long as work can he done
more cheaply in shops not under rail-
road management why should the
companies not save money in repair
ing locomotives and cars?
Tho public is clamoring fo~ lower
freight and passenger rates. hut tho
government as yet has done little to-
ward reducing operating costs. The
ruling Of the board may be modified
later by wage establishments. hut as
the case now stands the companies are
ordered TO pay more for repairing
Jobs than is warranted by the prevail
ing rates OF pay in the open market.
The undesirable feature OF tho rail.
road situation is tho slowness of tho
government in acknowledging tho
right Of the railroads to have "A margin
