IT Is a pity that the Wilmington baseball team mado such a poor, showing In the game with Allentown on Thursday. For the first time this season the grandstand and the bleachers were tilled with interested and enthusiastic spectators. They went there hoping to see the home acquit itself as became the Trl-State champion of 1913 and the Tri-Stute leader iu the present season. It is useless to attempt to gloss over the fact that they wero keenly dLapponited when the Chicks blew up and permitted the visitors to win by a score of 11 to 4. In other words, it was an off day for Wilmington and particularly so for its pitchers.
They could not stand up agafnst the Allentown batters. The prevailing hope Is that hen Wilmington and Allentown meet again on the diamond, the Chicks will wipe out the defeat of Thursday by rolling up a score that will be equally disappointing to Allentown. Meantime the Wilmington public bhould continue to give to our home team that measure of countenance ud support tiiut is so essential to success lq. a fight for a pennant.

Result: Y'ale, Princeton, 0. We trust sincerely that President WIlsou will not contend that tho discomfiture of Princeton was due to causes "purely psychological." On tho other hand, wo hope that no Republican optimist, whose optimism Is' tinctured by superstition, will look upon baseball score as an augury of the result of the election next November, when Wilson and Bryan will be the lottery for the Democratic Nationals. Hard and intelligent work and not superstitious optimism should rule the conduct of every Republican when that great game is played. demagogues in Congress who have i ute, or an inch higher, and yet it lived to flourish as much as if it had sladly given Mr. Gompers all that he SATURDAY JUNE 20, 1914 has not.

So great Is tha merit of a little verbal manipulation, which countenances two contradictory interpretations and leaves the clash between them to be settled by the courts! The President has established frkntily enough relations with the Clayton "gold brick" exemptions. But in engaging to Join in the pleasant process of "side-stepping" the meaning of the Clayton bill's "concessions to labor" he seems to have forgotten ull about the plain acknowledgment of class legislation embodied in tho rider put on the sundry civil appropriation law last year, the "principle" of which he denounred although he approved the bill- To his astonishment and embarrassment Congress Is going to reincorporate that rider in this year's sundry civil appropriation bill. Why shouldn't It, since everybody nowadays, is trying to make things as pleasant as possible for Mr. Gompers? Congress is going-to say again that no part of the appropriation made in the sundry civil bill for the enforcement of the anti-trust laws a thousand acres of untrodden space around it, and never knew the danger it incurred.
It did not borrow trouble, nor invite an evil fate by apprehending it Thoreau. I like religion that does not grumble about the world in which we are living, but finds that because God is in it there cannot be much wrong. I heard a Btory about a woman in New has asked. They have never professed any great hostility to class legislation. If the Gompers concessions are class legislation they are not against it but for it.
But Mr. Wilson has said that he is atrainst class legislation. He has nledged himself against any discrimination in the enforcement of the anti-trust law.

Woolley, of the Supremo Court of Delaware, to succeed the Hon. George Gray, of this State, a Judge of the United States District Court of Appeals. The junior Senator ean advance to Delawareans no satisfying excuse for a failure to bring about that earnestly-desired result. President Wilson Is a Democrat.

Senator Saulsbury lias been lauded by his friends at, a man remarkably close to President Wilsoimud line who assists in shaping the President's policies and appointments. The people of Delaware are a unit in favor of Judgo Woolley 'a elevation, Democrats, Republicans, Progressive and men of ull shades of political opinion have signed petitions, and many even have gone to Washington, urging such an appointment. Apart from the Wilmington postmastership, which came as a matter of course, Delaware has not received from the Wilson administration one bit of patronage of the first class and comparatively little of an Inferior quality.
It will be seen, therefore, that Senator Saulsbury Is in a portion not only to ask for tut actually to de- A SO. I IT SUKRKDEItS TO 51ILJTAMS. ONCE more the British Government has capitulated to tho suffragist hunger strike, this time to a greater degree than ever heretofore. It not only released Sylvia Pankhurst, from Hollowny Jail, but, to prevent her carrying out her threat to continue her hunger strike at the entrance to the House of Commons, Premier Asqulth consented to receive and to hear tho pleas of Sites Pankhurst and a delegation of East End working women in Downing street this morning. This concession unquestionably will give encouragement to tho militant suffragists in Great Britain.
Having gained that much, they will demand When It la refused they will resort again to incendiarism, vandalism and rowdyism to achieve their ends. Sooner or later there will be another governmental surrender; only to be followed by still further demands and more trouble. It becomes dally more apparent that the British Government must adopt a sterner policy of repression against the militants or grant the suffrage to British women. The situation as It exists today la a national scandal that ia causing international comment discreditable to Britain The Income Tax Guess, of the Secretary of the Treasury (From the Philadelphia Press.) it. was in a little office in the somewhat antiquated building which stood uoon this plot of ground that I spent an hour or two one afternoon with Mr.
Silliman. He was then approaching his ninetieth year, but there were no evidences In his voice or in his mental processes to suggest that he had reached bo great an ege. I wanted to talk to Mr. Silliman about the national Whig conventton shtch was held in 1S39, for I had been told that he was a delegate to that convention and was probably the last survivor then living of all those who took part in the gathering. He seemed greatly pleased that I should have asked him for some of his recollections of that body.
"It was made up of very able men." he said. "I am sure that no other convention contained a larger number of men of very high ability than did this one. "I was one of the younger members of the convention and I made it a point to talk with some of the older men, especially those who had taken part in public affairs twenty or thirty years earlier, before there was any Whig party. It waB my good fortune to meet two or three gentlemen who had served in Congress with Daniel Webster. I had never heard Wrebster speak, but like every other American of that time, found my interests absorbed in the career of the Webster and his personality and in his probable ambition which lay even at that time in the direction of th Presidency.
"In one of the chats which I had with men who knew Webster I asked If it were true that he had completely changed his style as an orator and his use of English. "I was told that when Webster first went to Congress, about twenty-five years earlier, he was disposed to make somewhat flowery speeches and to use long words. It was sometimes said of him that he was an Imitator of Dr. Samuel Johnson, whose many-svllabled words were at that time imitated by some public speakers. "Afterwards I think some eight or nine vears later Webster made a BDeech which attracted a good deal of attention, because his style was S3 different from that which heretofore had been characteristic of him.
It was devoid of any flowers of rhetoric. There were scarcely any quotations from the classics, although there were a few from Shakespeare. He made use of the simple Anglo-Saxon words, many of them words of one syllable, this was a distinct departure from his earlier style.

The great mass of voters were to be exempted from thia new tax burden, and, therefore, it would not be unpopular throughout the country and it would have distinct strength as a political asset. An income tax is no new idea in the world. Foreign countries have long made use of it. But in the lands abroad the tax is based on a principle judicial place. The people of Delaware do not want either White House or Senatorial excuses.
They want the appointment, and they look to Senator Saulsbury to obtain Jt for them, not only for the sake of Judge Woolley but also for the sake of the State and tlio public.

In the matter of banking Delaware has an enviable record. The Federal reports show that there never has been a failure of a national bank here.
We also have been remarkably free from trouble affecting Slate banks and trust companies. There have been Instances of defalcation, but the institutions affected by such misfortunes have swallowed their losses and continued in business. In recent years great forward strides have been made by Delaware's financial Institutions. They have become more progressive and, at the samo time, preserved that element of sound business prudence that has counted for so much for the protection of investors and depositors. There has been liberality without reckless-nets, with the result that our banks and trust companies, taking them as a whole, never were in better coniition to command public confidence, than they are today.
But there is no banker, no matter how smart ho may be, who knows it all and thero is none who can fail to learn something of value from a comparison of ideas such us featured the convention held lu Lewes.
