High Offices; No Salaries

Many high offices in England are
filled by men who receive no salaries,
among which Is that Of the prime min
lister. The prime minister, however,
usually accepts some other post such
as first lord OF the treasury, which
has a salary of $4,000 a year. JUS
tees Of the peace, guardians Of the
poor and district councillors give their
services free. The lord mayor Of Lon
don, though he receives a salary Of
$4,000 a year cannot hope to escape
with paying ont less than $4,000 a
year in the f''Hllment Of his Office. so

Quotations GorbIed

Lord Brooke wrote more than three
hundred years ago, and out Of minde
as soon as out Of sight" which is now
reversed in "out of sight is out of
mind" "She and comparisons are
odlous," wrote DR.. John Dome, and
he is variously interpreted. Even Ben
Jonson, speaking of Shakespeare's
small Latin and less Greek" has 'lit-
tie" substituted for small" Milton's
human face divine" gets form" for
face, and "all" is adopted for neigh
boring in the famous "the cynosure
Of nelghborlng eyes" THE busy hum
Of men" In the same poets "EAlle-
gro" has "haunts" for "hum."

Hard to Place Derivation

The derivation OF the word cafe
teria" is obscure. II comes from the
same root as the French word cafe"
which means coffee" but is used to
mean restaurant" The Italian word,
"caffetiere" is applied to coffee pot,
a coffee shop or the proprietor of such
a shop. The form cafeteria" was first
applied to a self-service cafe in Chi
cago by a man from New Mexico, so
1t is said, although this form of res
taurant originated in Los Angeles in
1905, when Miss Helen S. Mosher
made the experiment.

DELAWARE KILL CRANK" BILLS
Wiping Trif1ing Legislation Off Cal
endar Insures Adjournment Soon

With the Legislature eliminating
bills from the calendar by the scores,
some by voting route and otheur by
withdrawal much progress was made
in Dover during the past week.
Among the bills of general interest
to be considered are the boxing bill,
the measure to repeal the Klair and
Loose liquor laws and the school
building bill. It is conceded the lat
ter will 60 through without much op-
position. If nothing more is done it
will be the verdict that the Legisla-
ture made a good record, despite the
fact that SO much of the business Of
fered was ignored. In Wilmington
city there is much harmony talk in
Republican circles and it is reported
that Mayor George w. X. Forrest
will be a candidate for reelection and
will have the support of the organiza-
tion. This would eliminate the other
candidates who have been mentioned.
In addition to Mr.. Klund they are
Charles NJ Banks, A. Sonnin Krebs,
Frank G. Speakman and Hamilton
Stewart. For president of City Coun-
ell Alexander r. Abrahams is the
leading candidate, and it is said that
when the time for the primaries ar
rives he will not be opposed. Samuel
J.White, city treasurer, is candidate
for reelection. The councilmanic con
tests are expected to be few. Those
mentioned are Arthur Johnson, pres
ent councilman from the First ward;
Councilman William ]. Winchester
and Abram Huber from the Second
ward; Joseph B. Green, the first Re
publican to be elected from the Third
ward, now serving his first term; R.
Bruce Clark, who broke the Demo
cratic string in the Fourth ward;
Harry G. Tazwell, Fifth ward; John
o. Hopkins, who has represented the
Sixth ward for several terms; James
B. McManus, finance committee chair
man, Eighth ward; Harry E. Vincent,
Ninth ward; Miss Sybil Z. Ward,
Twelfth ward. The next registration
day is April o. The dates for the
primaries have not been set, but they
will probably be the second and third
Saturdays in May. The election will
be held Saturday, June 4.

KENT LEVY COURT MEETING
Each Commissioner Has a Candidate
For County Road Engineer

The Kent County Levy Court fail
ed to elect county road engineer at
their regular weekly meeting last
week when three cornered deadlock
prevented a majority vote being cast
for any candidate. The matter came
up for further consideration at yester-
days meeting. Each Of the Levy
Court Commissioners presented a can
didate for the office. Commissioner
r. Harry Wilson nominated James B.
Bice, Jr., of Dover, while Commission
er H. NJ. Case presented the name of
Elmer Haddaway, Of Wyoming. Com
missioner George H. Brown nominat-
ed Hart Scott, of Townsend. After
the nominations were completed three
ballots were taken with each candi-
date receiving one vote on each bal
lot. Shortly after the third ballot
was taken the Levy Court adjourned.
Before the vote on the office of engin-
eer was taken the Levy Court tran
sacted the usual routine business Of
the meeting. There were no road
delegations before the meeting.
It was decided to refund S2.66 in
tax money to Elmira Durham, Of
Cheswold, when it was discovered
that the tax had been paid once and
was later collected again by con
stable. A difference in district num-
bers was given as the cause of the
mixup.
The Levy Court voted to pay for a
half page advertisement in a booklet
to be issued describing Delaware at
price of S125.00. Commissioner
Brown voted against the motion.
It was decided TO employ Charles
L. Terry, Jr, as counsel for the Re
ceiver of Taxes in searching records
preparatory to selling certain prop
erty for unpaid taxes.
The bond Of Austin d. Smith, con
stable in the First District, was re-
ceived and after being approved was
ordered recorded.

METHODISTS CLEAR PASTORS
Two Members of Wilmington Confer
epce Accused of Violating Church
Divorce Law-Boys' Session


Two pastors of the Wilmington
Methodist Conference were exonerat-
ed Friday night Of all complaints
lodged against them for alleged viola
tions of the divorce laws Of the
church. The pastors were the Rev.
Elwood W. Jones, of the Wesley
Church, Dover, and the Rev. Paul P.
Truitt, Sharptown, Nd. Two com
mittees of seven men each reported
their refusal to entertain charges
against the two men IN executive ses-
sion of the conference late Friday af-
ter celebrating all the afternoon.
1t was said both ministers violated
the church laws by marrying divorced
women. The Rev. Mr. Jones, a widow
er, was the subject of criticism on two
counts, both of marrying a divorce
himself, and of performing the marri-
age ceremony of Dr. Truitt, who was
divorced by his first wife on the
ground of desertion, to a divorced wo-
man. The exoneration of the two
pastors clears up the last Of five com
plants against five members Of the
conference. Three pastors were drop
ped from the conference on Thursday.
Because of the action against one of
them letters were received Friday by
leaders Of the conference, threaten
ing their lives.

The Walsh Resolution

Senator Walsh OF Montana intends to push his
resolution for an investigation Of public utilities,
despite the setback of Monday, when the Senate
voted to send the resolution to the Interstate Com
merce committee.
This is good news. and an examination of COM
mittee personnel indicates Walsh may force favor
able report at the hearing set for Jan. l6.
Walsh proposes an investigation OF utilities
mergers their financing. and the propaganda they
have been circulating. He charges control Of utilities
is gradually being concentrated in the hands Of a
few persons, that values being inflated through
financing methods and that the utilities are banded
together to influence Congress and the public against
proper supervision and regulation of their operations
Certainly the question is one which merits full
examination in behalf of the public. The best place
for this to be done is by committee of the United
States Senate The day is gone when Senate in
qury can be regarded as an attempt at undertaking,
or when politicians quietly ngnore unpleasant
facts affecting the welfare of the nation.
The vote In the Senate on the Walsh resolution
was not along party lines Thirteen Democrats voted
against Walsh twelve Republicans, Progressives ALL
voted with Walsh, as did the single Farmer-Labor
member
The really interesting thing about the ballot.
however, was the fact that five Democrats and one
Republican who had earlier answered roll call, were
absent when the vote was taken.
