EVERY merchant in Wilmington sh.uld
subscribe for the newspapers published
at Chester. 1t would be good thing
for Chester and, perhaps, good thing
for Wilmington. 4 careful study of the
Chester newspapers would impress upon
the minds of the local merchants the fact
that Chester merchants have discovered
a way to keep Chester trade in Chester
advertising in the local newspapers.
Precisely eight people entered one Of
Wilmingtons largest stores between the
hours of II a. IN. and 2.3O p. m. Think
this over, Mr.. Merchant. How many
people enter your door an hour? How
many OF them buy? Does your advertis-
ing pay you? Can you prove that it does
by your books? The right sort of adver-
tising pays? Is your advertising of the
right sort?

the loss suffered by it's citizens on the
death Of the great statesman. In SHOW
ing wherein the great loss lies the Tran
script says: :,
"The death of Hon. Thomas F. Bayard
directs attention to the present low
political estate in the councils of the
nation of that little commonwealth to
which for many years lie rendered dis
tinguished service. She still retains one
representative worthy of her Or any
other state, Senator Gray, a man OF high
character and shining abilities, but he
does not stand for the new order OF
things there. He represents the only
survival of the old standards, when in
that respect in which all states are equal
Delaware could hold up her head with
the best Of them.
"For years the little state sought out
her ablest men and best equipped states
men and made the most Of them. She
made the country her debtor through
the character of her public servants in
the arena of national legislation. She
held a proud position nationally and
internationally by the reflected homer o
illustrious names. Her Bayards and hel
Saulsburys were cast in the mould o
statesmen and their value to the stat
received its proper and practical recogni
tion.
"She chose man to succeed tn
Bayards and the Saulsburys, un
known and unheard of beyond hi
own contracted environment, a maj
who had no understanding OfOr sym
pathy with her past proud tradition
and who is best known to the public
since that time by the frequency will
which he has been summoned to an
. swer the laws inguisition.
Through factional fights the Republl
cans threw away their opportunity AM
the Democrats failed to rise to the situa
ton. The state has now lost her mos
distinguished son, but even that woul'
J be less regretable had she not previousl
J thrown down and discarded those stand
, ards and ideals which he 50 long and 8
consistently maintained to his grea
r credit and to hers"

Good Morning.

A HUNDRED men like W. L. Dockstader
would insure Wilmington place on the
map. This man Dockstader is always
ready and willing to spend dollar to
make dollar, hence his success. He will
have ten Thousand people in his new
theatre every week because he has always
merited their patronage. Nobody bothers
about who is on the program. They are
satisfied that Dockstader will give them
their moneys worth and he has never
disappointed them. Here's to Dock
stader-a long life and happy one. I

SOME day the Wilmington City Pas
senger Railway Company will be called
upon to defend suit for substantial
damages for want Of proper equipment
on its cars. Tenders don't cost much
and guard chains cost less. City Coun-
ellis should prohibit the running OF un-
protected cars. The absence of tenders
and guard rails simply invites fatalities.
Only the grace of God and combina-
ton of circumstances protects the people
now-the company has exercised no
caution and maintains no safeguards.
The absence of tenders and guard chains
is simply criminal neglect.
