The present shortage of cars dem
onstrates one thing-that the oppres-
sive attitude of the government to-
ward the transportation lines over a
long period of time eventually left
them without sufficient equipment.
Few of the roads have in recent
years paid reasonable dividends on
their stock and few are now paying
a reasonable return on their property
valuation. The question of watered
stock is, therefore, not involved.
An inspection of the records of the
Interstate Commerce Commission
proves that the roads have not been
making the net earnings necessary to
attract capital to railroad investment
That is a condition, not a theory.
Undoubtedly many wrongs were
committed by few railroad managers
some twenty years or more ago, anC
those wrongs brought on the exces
sive restriction, but it is doing Tho
general public no good to seek revenge
by crippling the transportation ser
vice. The man who has wheat or ap
pies or coal or livestock ready fo

Some of Smyrnas most representa-

editorial advocating a change in
Smyrna's Town Charter, doing away
with districts or wards and reducing
the number of councilman to a smaller
body to be elected at large, feel it
would be a most excellent move.
There is plenty of time between now
and the meeting of the Legislature.

of his wife, due to eating cake that
had been deliberately poisoned, and
sent to them by mail, shows that the
dastardly murderer who resorts to
this most insidious of all forms of
crime is again at work. 1t is not yet
certain that the woman also will not
die from the effects of the poison.
"In ancient times, centuries ago,
says the Wilmington Every Evening,
poisoning was a favorite method of
secret murder. The Borgias became
historically notorious by the great ex-
tent and success of their deadly
schemes. The opportunities for Sc
curing the desired results with the
least danger of detection and punish
ment were most inviting to those who
were so venomous in their natures as
to employ them.

form of crime is now so justly de-

any human beings, no matter how de-
praved, could bring themselves to it.

hOrrid crime seems to have been the

this fiendish crime a nd bring them t

wealth. -

We agree with and are in full accord
with the sentiments expressed by the
Wilmington Morning News when it
says:
"In no other effort of the kind can
we recall so successful a campaign as
that which has gathered for the Uni
versity of Delaware fund of about
S325,O00 with which a Memorial Lii
brary will be erected at the University
in honor of the sons of Delaware who
died in the late war. 1t is remark
able. Campaigns have been conduct
ed to raise funds for other institu-
tions of learning, to be sure, and larg-
er ones than Delaware, but we remem-
ber of no instance in which so great
sum was raised by popular subscrip-
tions in so brief a time.
"Our people are in love with the
dead of the late war, and they are
in love with the University of Della
ware. Only on such a basis can the
wonderful success of this campaign
be explained. The building of that
library will mean a great forward
step for the University and for the
State. Once again has it been clear
ly demonstrated that the institution
at Newark has a host of devoted
friends and that its bright future is
assured.
"Who, some years ago, when Della.
ware College was struggling against
odds, and as if no one really cared
would have fancied in the wildes+
dreams that in few brief years oul
citizenship could be and would be 81
aroused that almost in an instant
/ ! great fund was secured? thank an,

S structure that will be reared skywar

e mired for ages by thousands of be
Q holders.
e Apart from the beautiful sent
4 ments which the new building wi
+ embody, it's erection means anothe
and long leap in advance for tn
i University which is going onward an

modities are ready and the market is
right. Delay may mean loss far ex-
ceeding the difference in freight rates
due to regulation.
The fact to be kept in mind is that
while regulation there probably must
be, in order to guard against abuses,
the first essential is an adequate
transportation system, ready to handle
the business of the country at its peak.

Before the next Legislature, will
come the pending amendment to Ar
ticle XIV of the State Constitution
which specifically provides that no cit
izen of the State of Delaware shall be
disqualified to hold and enjoy any of
flee or public trust under the laws of
this State by reason of sex. When
this amendment is given the stamp of
approval by the General Assembly, it !
will complete the extension of full cit
izenship in all particulars to the wom-
en- of Delaware. Such an amendment |
is a worthy piece of legislation, and
the fact that it was proposed in the
last session of the General Assembly, |
and received the approval of the Gov
ernor, augurs we'll that the provision =,
will become the recognized law of the
State next year. However, says The
Delmarvia Star of Wilmington" doubts
have up to this time existed in the
minds of many as to whether these
rights have not been extended auto
matically to women with the passage
of the Nineteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution. But with the
passage of the amendment mentioned
above, it would seem that the subject
would be definitely settled.
at has seemed curious to some stu
dents of public affairs that this has
not been more generally recognized.
At least there has been no hesitation
on the part of women to offer them
selves as candidates for public office.
AS as example of the belief on the
part of many that the process of ex-
tension of citizenship and holding pub
tic offices was coincident with the
granting of suffrage, the question of
jury service is pointed out Women
have been serving on juries in Penn
sylvania for couple of years. Yet
no woman's name has yet been drawn
for service in this State.
"The Revised Code of 1915 would
seem to be explicit enough in this re-
spect. 1t states in Chapter 131: Sec
All persons qualified to vote al
the general election shall be liable tC
serve as jurors; except public officer!
of this State, or of the United States
attorneys-at-law, ordained minister!
of the gospel, officers of colleges anC

physicians and surgeons regularly Ii
censed, licensed pharmacists and as
sistant pharmacists, cashiers of incol
porated banks, registration officer
and inspectors of elections, and a
persons who are more than sevent
years of age.
at is further stated in the sam
chapter: Sec. 3.--The said Jury Con
missioners for each county shall,
the month of December in each yea
select, from the citizens of each coul
ty who are liable to serve as juro
under the provisions of Section 1
this chapter the names, etc.
"Inasmuch as many thousands

A pretty wedding took place yes

 became the bride of Walter Austin Spencer of Bristol. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. William F. O'Dell of Elmwood, a cousin of the bride.
 The attendants were Mir and Mrs. Kenneth Munson. sister and brothoh- in-law of the bride. The ushers were William Heslin, Leo Fortier, Peter J Kelly and MT. Sheador. The bride wore a gown of white French crepe and silk shadow lace, with pearl trim mings. She also wore bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms, and she carried a shower bouuet of white roses and lilies of the valley. Her attendant wore n shell pink canton crepe dress, with hat to match, and she carried bouquet of pink roses.
 The Hesln home was tastefully decorated with evergreen and ferns. entwined with lilies of the valley. About 75 guests were in attendance at the reception The couple left yes terday on a wedding trip to Washing ten, D. C., and on their return will re- side at Bristol.
