DELAWARE IN BEAUTY BRIGADE.
i 1- * HERE is a considerable hubbub in Wash
ington over the approaching inauguration
•of President-elect William H. Taft. Not that
the actual ceremonies of the swearing in of the
new President arc causing so much comment,
hut the interest centers in the great inaugural
Mr. Taft, after a day of weary labor, will
he present. Tickets are to he sold at $5 each,
and those who have the cash will he permitted
to see the grand spectacle,
great ball, a "Dance dc Luxe," in the Pension
Building, and the committee of Washington city
zens is making elaborate preparations for the
The carpenters, decorators and florists
re already at work.
The ball this year will have a new and novel
feature. There is to he a guard of honor—one
man from each State—which will be the special
escort of President-elect Taft. This "Guard of
Honor," if reports are correct, will be composed
of the "handsomest men" that each State can
produce and, it will be the center of attraction
outshadowing, but not outweighing the Presi
dent-elect himself.
Perhaps the Washington authorities heard of
the ceremonies with which Governor Pennewill
was inaugurated into office in this State, and
perhaps they heard of the gallant Delaware
men and fair women that graced that occasion
and have concluded that Delaware must not be
permitted to outshine the National Govern
ment.
Uncle Sam may be larger than Delaware and
jealous states whose battleships will seem like
tubs alongside of the Dreadnaught that is named
after this State, may toss their sarcasms our
(way, but in proportion Uncle Sam will have te»
jwake up if he is going to surpass Delaware in
loveliness.
It appears that the brigade of beautiful men
•will be the floor managers of the ball. The chief
(of the brigade is Mr. Gist Blair, of New Jersey,
a tall, athletic and handsome man, the son of
(the late John I. Blair, who counted his millions
(by the dozen. Mr. Blair, the chief, is described
|as "President of the Bachelors' Cotillion, the
smartest dancing body at the national capital."
Thus hath Mr. Gist Blair danced his way to
fame.
Delaware, of course, will have more than a
Janguid interest in this notable event. We shall
jhold up our end with a heart of graEe, because
(the Hon. Henry B. Thompson is to represent
(Delaware in the brigade. If any prizes should
Ibe offered for the hest looking men in the
!"brigaJe" we arc confident that one of them
(would be brought back to the Diamond State.
(And if Washington is short on a sufficient nunb
(her of handsome men for the guard of honor, a
ball.
There is to be a
event.
(requisition might be made on members of Gov
jernor Pennewill's staff.
Delaware would be there "with the goods,"
and would "beat them to a frazzle," to use the
jchoice vocabulary of the Hon. Theodore Roose
velt.
The report containing the annual receipts and
'expenditures of the city for the year is an inter
esting and well prepared pamphlet which it
(would be well for citizens to read. It gives
insight into the workings of our municipal ma
chinery and supplies much valuable information
in a handy manner. The pamphlet was pre
Ipare.f by Mr. Lewis, Clerk of Council, and Mr.
an
Hoffman, secretary to the Mayor, and theirl
work was well done
LABOR HEARING.
T
HE House at Dover, has fixed a time for a
public hearing on several measures
pro
iposcd by the Central Labor Union, of fhis city.
One of the measures strikes us as particularly
(important. The Central Labor Union, as we un
derstand the matter, with a bill to abolish "com
(puleory insurance" assails the Pennsylvania
Railroad Relief and desires by law to break
tip an alleged practice of forcing men to join this
association if they wish to remain in the
■ploy of the company.
We say "alleged practice"» f*cause we have
not learned to our own satisfaction that there
is any compulsion about it. We have the state
ment of representatives of the Central Labor
Union that men have been refused employment
unless they joined the association. On the other
hand we have assurances from a number of em
ployes of the company that there is nothing co
pulsory about the Relief Association; that men
lhave been given employment in which no relief
.association requirement was made,
j We understand that only a part of the
railway employes arc affiliated with the Central
Labor Union, of this city. They have their own
organizations and it seems to us they should
^ave t faeir representatives at this public hearing
Cm
to state their position in the matter. Does the
Central Labor Union with this measure express
the sentiments of the Brotherhood of Locomo- i
tive Engineers, the Firemen, the Trainmen and '
the Conductors, or not? Do they wish the law
makers to interfere with this Relief Association, j
or not? These questions could be answered at a
legislative hearing.
We arc not familiar with the inside workings
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief Association,
but we think the general plan of all such or
ganizations is splendid. We think every man
should belong to them, if possible.
The other bill is that providing for the pay
ment of the wages of employes weekly. Such a
bill is not likely to be passed for two reasons:
First, because the company can make a plausi
ble argument that it would entail a great amount
of labor and expense to pay weekly; secondly,
because, according to our observations the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has such a big
pull in Delaware politics that it would be diffi
cult to get through the Legislature even a very
meritorious measure that was not approved by
the company. Of course, it would be desirable
to have the men paid weekly, if it could be
done
|
1
However, we trust the Legislature will have
the hearing. If the Central Body Rets its vocal
batteries trained on the railroad attorneys and
the attorneys fire back, there will be something
entertaining, at least.
L it possible that Senator Drexlers local op
tion bill is to be permitted to rest because it is
fathered by a "carpet bagger," who has not the
approval of the "Old Guard?" The "Old Guard"
has had eyes of suspicion fixed upon Drexler.

» » Young Men s Christian Association
should prosper and it is gratifying to note that
the work of tl(e organization is in an encour
aging condition. The Young Men's Christian
Association has a field of wide usefulness in this
city, hut its development to its proper sphere
will be necessarily slow. It seems that the edu
cational department is doing well- This is really
one of the important branches of association
work and one of the most useful.
Many a 5'oung man who neglected his earlier
opportunities for an education or who did not
have such opportunities can be greatly bene
fitted by a course of study under the direction
of the association. According to the report of
the chairman of the House Committee there»
have been many thousands of visitors at the
Association Building, which speaks well for the
popularity of that institution.
DOVER'S STEP FORWARD,
D
OVER citizens at a public meeting, de
cided to ask the Legislature for permis
to borrow $100,000 for street improvements.
sion
The money is to be secured through bonds. The
meeting was under the auspices of the Board
of Trade and sound advice on street matters was
given to the Dover people by Street Commis
Frank W. Pierson, of this city, Colonel
George W. Sparks, one of our Street and Sewer
Directors and Colonel Theodore Townsend.
The meeting appointed a committee to urge
the Legislature to pass the bill permitting the
loan.
sioner
The step is in the right direction,
streets should by all means be improved. Good
streets will add to the beauty of the capital, and
all her citizens should rejoice that some action
has been finally taken which will give Dover the
streets that she ought to have.

Editorial
Opinion
Too Many Commissions.
Dover Index.
It strikes us that the Delaware Legis
lature Is creating an unusual and unneces
sary lot of commissions. There Is thf Tak
Commission, a proposed Sinking Fund
Commission, a Delaware College Investi
gating Commission, a School Commission,
an Accounting Commission and dear
knows how many other commissions, all
charged with some proposed Investigation
and provided with compensation and ex
penses. Why cannot the legislature do
some of this work Itself as heretofore?
Commissions are expensive luxuries and
usually accomplish nothing, and are not
heeded by the succeeding legislature.

There need not be, however, the slight

political, commercial and financial affairs
In this country are In a state of transition,
ami that the machinery of the preceding
centuries has become antiquated and ob
solete, no longer responsive nor suited to
the new and more potent forces of the
present time, and must give place to forma
and methods to reforms and betterments,
that the people who after all are control),
ers of politics, commerce and finance, de
sire and will have. Th.e age demands bet

the limitation of the power of the few In

FLOWERS TO BEAUTIFY
RAILROAD PROPERTY
Preparations are being made by the
florists ot the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad to take up their annual work of
beautifying the stations along the lines by
planting various kinds of flowers and
shrubbery around the buildings. The j
plant» will be taken from the company's
hot houses at Wayne Junction, where
thousands of bulbs are nearly ready for
the Spring planting. If the weather re
mains warm. It is thought that the work
can be started about the latter part of
next month.
The flowers will then remain out until
Fall, when they will be dug up again and
taken to the hot houses, where they will
remain for the Winter. The company ha»
several florists who devote all their time
to the cultivation ot flowers for the decor
atlon of station grounds.
During the past years the Philadelphia
and Reading Company has been putting
out over 20Q.000 plants of various kinds, all
of which have been raised by those in con
nectlon with the company's hot houses.
Nearly 200 stations aro supplied with
flowers. Including those along the W. and
N. railroad.

NEW FISH FOR
THE BRANDYWINE
WEST CHESTER, Feb. 20 —A new
fish Is to be Introduced Into the Bran
dywine In the shape of the yellow
perch and the Chester County Fish
and Game Association will take up the
experiment. It is probable that about
forty thousand of the fish will be de
posited during the coming summer In
the dams at Lonape, above Coatesvllle
and above Downing! own. The fish
furnish the finest kind of sport and
over In New Jersey the ponds teem
with them, due to stocking. The State,
as well as the National Fish Commis
sion, will join In the work as an
périment, and In a couple of years the
result wil be known fully. The fish
furnish good sport with bait, both
minnows and worms being favorite».
In addition to these a consignment of
buffalo fish, something akin to the
sucker, will be Introduced, and the As
sociation will keep up the work with
the bass, pike, perch, catfish and
100,000 fish In the stream this season.
The sunflsh and catfish from all the
hatcheries will be sent to the Brandy
wine when the ponds are cleaned, and
If the fishermen will obey the laws
as to sizes and seasons there will be
some good sport In store within a cou
