A 1*0011 RETURN FOR FAITHFUL 8ÜPP0BT.
E have received from Samuel C. Bond, presi
dent of the Bond Bottle Sealing Company, tho
W
following letter:
To tbe Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir:—I suggest that Mrs. J. W. Jackson have one
of tbe Rank and File call on the writer who will
undertake to secure her a position where she need
work but 54 hours per week with a half holiday on
Saturday. A similar offer was made to Mrs. K. F. But
1er at the beginning of Ihe campaign.
For tho past five years, In fact, since first employ
ing female labor, we have been practicing what Mr.
Miller, the Consumers' League and other advocates
are merely preaching, and no female was compelled
to work over-time, and when she did (which was sel
dom) she was paid.
. 1 object to the so-called Ten-Hour Law .tow in the
Legislature, and. If It were possible, I object to It
more with the amendments than without. If Ahe Con
sumers' League Is sincere and really desires to ob
tain results It had hotter change its tactics and. If pos
able, kill the present measure.
Very truly yours.
SAMUEL C. BOND,
Wilmington.-Del.. March 14, 1913.
' The first paragraph of that letter Is perfectly under
standable. Mr. Bond wishes Mrs. J. W. Jackson, an
earnest supporter of the Ten-Hour Law, to send a
woman or a felrl to him and he will give her a jot)
where she may work 54 hours a week and have a
half holiday on Saturday.
■ It -is difficult, however, to reconcile Ihe statements
Mr. Bond makes In the.second paragraph with those
be makes In the third paragraph, because of the gross
Inconsistency of thought and action. In the second
paragraph he admits that his company, which em
ploys woman and girl labor, Instituted a system which
called for a 64-hour week with a half-holiday on
Hgturday, and with no compulsory overtime work.
He admits that he and his business associates, have
found that system to be so good that they have ad
hered ho It for five years and have practiced what
the advocates of the Ten-Hour l«aw are preaching.
Notwithstanding that fact, he objects to the Ten-Hour
Law as It was Introduced, providing for a ten-hour
day and a fifty-five hour week for women and girl
employes, and he objects to It still more now that It
has been amended so as to permit of even longer
hours of employment. Nor does he slop at that In
bis display of Inconsistency. He advises the Consum
ers' League to change Its tactics and. if possible,
kill the Ten-Hour bill.
ft Is surprising that such a line of argument should
come from a man who admits that a 54-hour week and
a Saturday half-holiday are the right tbinge for wom
an and girl wage-earner*, and that he practices them
■ In the transaction of his business. If such things are
good for him to practice for five yeare. why are they
not good enough for Mrs. Jackson. Mrs. Butler, Mis*
Margaret Hilles Shearman. Charles Warner, Alfred D
Warner, Caleb E. Burchenal, the Rev. Charles L. Can
dee and other estimable persons and earnest friends
of working women and girls to preach? Why should
Mr. Bond object to them writing a legislative sermon
from a text that he himself has written in his busi
ness. regulations.
Such contradictory and Inconsistent argument as he
has advanced in the above letter will make no appeal
to Delawareans. They are too sensible to he moved
by a letter of that sort from a man who, by his busi
ness practices, contradicts flatly his business theories.
Can it be possible that Mr. Bond Is one of those who
hold to the opinion that government has no right to
regulate private business and society has no right to
protect itself against the evil consequence* of employ
ers overworking and underpaying men. women and
children? We hope not, because, if that be his men
tal attitude, he lias stood still while humanity has
advanced. Many of the largest employers of labor in
America today not only accept but advocate govern
mental regulation, not only as regards the hours and
aondltions. of labor but also as regards the more inti
mate affairs of their business conduct. Mr, Bond can
not be unaware of that fact. Why he should object
to women and girl* who are not so favorably situ
ated as are those in his employ, receiving a square
deal at the hands of the Legislature: or why he should
object to the unselfish and hlg'hly-commendable ef
t Torts of roble-hearted men and women to do some
thing In their behalf. It Is difficult to conceive,
he a man who already had not recognized the justness
of the very demands that are being made now In their
behalf hi* position of antagonism would be easier
to understand. .His argument against tbe Ten-Hour
bill Is wrecked upon the rock of his own business
precept and practice and the confessions contained In
: his own letter.
Were
We do not think, however, that the fact that Mr.
Bond is opposed to the bill is nearly so Important a*

Republican members of that committee have arrayed i
themselves against the daughters and sister* of the '
working men who elected them to the Slate Senate,!
and are standing between them and a square deal
is a poor commentary upon their political judgment.

SENATOR GORMLET'S GOOD BILL.
C ENATOR OORMLEY. Democrat, of this city, has
done a splendid social service to Delaware and
14c neighboring States by getting through the Legis
lature the marriage bill that bears his name. The
magistrates quite naturally will criticise It because tt
lakes the license-issuing power and much revenue
from ther offices. The Department of Health officials
will not like it because they had hoped that depart
ment would be made the clearing house for all such
licenses issued in the city of Wilmington and that sev
eral thousand dollars would pour Into the treasury
of the department each year. Others may find ground
for criticism of the bill in its details, but alt must
admit that the underlying and, to the public, the im
portant features, will do away with the scandai that
has been caused by the many hasty and secret mar
riages that have been contracted In this city and State
under the old law.
The Oormley bill, which In all likelihood will be
approved by Governor Miller, in view of the fact that
it contains the germ of the recommendations made in j
the Governor's inaugural address with respect to the
hasty and secret carriage scandal that has come
upon ou.' community, contains Important safeguards.
One is that a non-resident who desires to be married In
this State must obtain a license at least ninety-six
hours prior to the performance of the ceremony, and
that fclth respect to residents, twenty-four hours must
elapse between the time of the procurement of the
license and the marriage. Those provisions pul a
check upon hasty marriages. To guard against secret
marriages, the bill provides that the Clerk of the
Peace shall keep in his office a public record of the
marriage licenses Issued and that a person performing
a marriage ceremony shall make his return to the
Clerk of the Peace within four days. With haste arid
secrecy eliminated and with only one place In a county
, In which licenses may be issued, an immediate end
should be put to the marriage market conditions which
have brought so much unfavorable comment

raised the point that the Oormley bill is unconstitu

E think we express public sentiment when we

men whom they have adjudged guilty of neglect of
duty with respect to the sale of Intoxicating liquors
In a clubhouse recently raided,

have been for years, popular with the people,
faets should bear weight with the commissioners in
reaching their final decision In the matter.
Tho members of the Police Commission must not
proceed upon the theory that the people of Wilming
ton are ignorant of the situation in this city with re
spect to the sale of intoxicating liquors In club rooms
and club houses. It Is true that there are certain
clubs which the police are not supposed to inspect
raid, and that there are other clubs which are to be
pursued relentlessly. We do not imagine that even the
Police Commissioners will attempt to assert that there
*(ny warrant of law for the -men on duty making
such a distinction o r for the superiors of those
from the Police Commissioners down,
or permitting them to make such a distinction,
do we think they will attempt to deny publicly that
they have suspicion, or knowledge, that there are cer
tain clubs In the city In which Intoxicating liquors
are sol.1 now and have been sold for years and that
the feet of police raiders never have crossed their
threshholds.
We ar* not suggesting that those clubs which
are raided should be raided, but we do suggest to the
commissioners that when they have under consideration
the question of what penalties ought to be Inflicted
the si* policemen who hav»been found guilty of not
porting what they knew or suspected with respect to
the Shipley street elub, that they also take Into

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Robert G. Ingersoll's De
scription of a Born Orator
By fliilland.
lugersoll about some of the great ora
tors be had known and listened to. I
asked him if he had kept account of
the number of speeches which he
madé In the Garfield campaign. He
replied that he never kept any track
of iiis campaign addresses and only
remembered a campaigning tour in
cast there was some special incident
which served to impress some par
llctilar feature on his mind.
"I remember very vividly,'' said he.
"and always shall remember a cam
paign speech which i made in the
Academy of Music in Brooklyn. This
speech Is permanently imprinted, in
my mind because Henry Ward Beech
er was chairman of the meeting.
After tho meeting was over I had a
little chat with Mr. Beecher. I studied
his face, and I said to myself, 'I
would know that this man was a nat
ural-born orator if I didn't know who
he was. Ho has the peculiar expres
sion around the mouth and the pecu
liar formation of the lips which 1
have found are infallible tests of a
man's gift for oratory.' "
Colonel Ingersoll was touching
upon something to which I had never
heard Aim refer, although I had. had
several talks with him about orators.
"Can you describe," 1 said, "the
particular expression or the peculiar
formation of the lips which Indicates
to you that a man has a special gift
of oratory?"
"Well, I first ought to say." said
the Colonel, "that there are two kinds
of orators. There is the forensic ora
tor or Ihe orator who addresses suc
cessfully one of a higher courts. It
is not to that kind of orator that 1
now refer. As a general thing, men
who are great masters of forensic or
legal speaking pre thin lipped, colo
eyed. William M. Evarts was a per
fect example of that type of orator.
I refer to tbe orator who moves great
niasses of men. The finest exemplifi
cation of that kind of oratory was the
magnificent triumph of Henry Ward
Beecher In addressing hostil aud
iences in Great Britain and in con
quering them by sheer oratorical
power during our Civil War.
"I have never yet,met with a man
who was gifted with great power of
oratory who dtd not have a heavy
lower lip and also a peculiar but in
describable expression around the
mouth.
"1 have sometimes heard it said
that the power of oratory Is revealed
by a man's eye. The eye sometimes
tells a story of great vocabulary and
flow of language, but.in my experience,
the eye never contains any hint of the
peculiar oratory that sways great
masses.
"Beecher had the orator's lips and
the expression that played around
them. So had General Garfield.
George William Curtis, who had very
great gifts for popular oratory, pos
sessed exactly this kind of mouth.
have always felt, that Curtis, through
a sort of over-cultivation or refine
ment. tailed to attain the highest
rank of the popular orator. Wendell
Phillips had the orator's lips and ex
pression; so did that wonderful ac
tor. Tom Corwin.
' "It you want to get a good Idea
what t mean I suggest that you take
one of the pictures of Abraham Lin
coln. He was the master of us all
popular orator, and he also combined
with that gift the unusual one
masterly power for concise, close rea

People's Column
PLEA FOR AFFILIATED COLLEGE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir: Referring to the article in
Thursday night's Evening Journal *re
garding the doubt that exists in the
minds of some members of the Senate
as to the wisdom of making an appro
priation for an Affiliated College for
Women in connection with Delaware
College, 1 would like to ask through
Ihe columns of your paper. It It would
not be a better Investment on the part
of the State to bond itself for $125.000
In order that the white girls of the
state may have the sam» chance for
an education that their brothers—as
well as the colored girls of Delaware
—now have, than to issue bonds to the
amodnt of $730,000 for a "state long
road'' when It may have the duPont
boulevard as a gift. 1 believe I am
right In saying that one of the chief
objections that has been raised to the
duPont boulevard is that the slate
would have to boar the expense of Sts
upkeep after it has been completed.
The stale would surely have to keep in
repair the "state long road" for which
some members of the Senat, advocate
the issuance of bonds to the amount
of $750,000, and therefore, It seems to
me that It would be displaying far
more wisdom to accept the duPont
boulevard (in some amended form If
necessary) and spend $126,000 for the
érection and equipment of an Affiliated
College for Women, thus bringing Del
aware up to a level of progressive
j ness nearly equalling that which has
long existed In other slates of the
Union. Besides the difference in the
amounts of the two bond issues now
being considered would cgver the cost
of maintaining both the Affiliated Col
lege and the duPont boulevard for
some time to come.
Therefore I would urge that our
worthy Senators lay aside personal
prejudices and take a broad-raipdeci
and common-sense view of this mat
ter Respectfully submitted,
Lottie W. Baker.

APPEAL FOR BLIND CHILDREN.
To the Friends of the Blind:
Dear Friends—It seems in consid
eration of your kindly interest and
work for the welfare of the Dela
ware defectives only fair to call your
attention to the provisions of Senate
Bill 118 entitled "An act to establish
a Commission for defective children,"
the provisions of which would seem
Inimical to the best Interest of our
blind and deaf mute children now re
ceiving thorough training and the
great advantage of the highly spec
ialized schools at Overbrook, Mt.
Airy. Overlen and Washington. The
eost per capita tuition at these Insti
tutions which are highly endowed by
private funds for this benevolent pur
pose is far above the amount paid by
Delaware for her pupils.
The measure removed ail defective
children from these special schools
pending the erection and organization
ol a local institution for the'r train
ing; leaves them without provision
and carries an appropriation entirely
inadequate to establish such an Insti
tution if It were feasible. To disturb
the highly specialized education of
these children under such clrcum
stances would seem a doubtful and
dangerous menace to their we'lfan.
and the public good.
The bill abrogates the old and well
trled statutory methods of dealing
with this subject and seriously cur
fails the field of this Commission, an
Important part of whose activity
been to seek out the blind child and
smooth the way for Its Just rights and
vital requisite for future usefulness
ar.d happiness in an educat'on and
training which would offset the han
dicap of blindness. The number ol
blind and deaf raute children in tho
State physically and mentally capshle
of instruction is too small to make a
special school for either class eco
nomical or effective. The bill before
the General Assembly as a substitute
for the present advantages given the
blind and deaf mute child is undoubt
vlsed; with sonie changes !t might be
made to meet the exigencies of the
iriÄÄÄSÄ
feated for the host interest of human
ity. The bill has passed the Senate

A- radical change from the old law
is to be found Ip section. 10, which
deals with the manner in which tha
clerks of the peace are to have print
ed and distributed the ballots. This
section provides that, in addition to
1 the official number of ballots the
j clerks of the peace shall furnish to
the chairman of each political party
3 ueh further number of ballots as

Section 17 explains how these hal
. lots may be used. It says: "It shall

the new regulations Is entirely un
necessary and therefore thçy have j
been eliminated. The provision which ■
enables a voter to secure and prepare
