some merchants try to find an excuse
for poor business, others seek remedy.
How about you? What is your scheme?
Whatever applies to a merchant in a
business sense also applies to a real
estate man. The essential difference lies
in the fact that the merchant endeavors
to sell what he has already Jouyht to SELL.
The real estate man, on the contrary,
never buys what he sells nor ouus what
t"ys. The real estate man is quite as
much interested in everybody's business
as in his own-their business is his bust.
ness. To help his own business the rea!
estate man must first help business gem
orally. Real estate in Wilmington is a
drug on the market today. Desirable
properties can be bought for song. The
sales are few and the few that are consum-
mated are at deplorable prices. Real
estate is the first security to dcpreciate
in value when business is poor and the
last to react when affairs are brisk. Bv
proper publicity real estate men can, in
measure, prevent depreciation. They
can keep values up. They can keep
localities from becoming undesirable.
They can keep valuable properties occu.
pied. 1t requires proper publicity to do
these things. Have you seen any adver-
tising of Wilmington real estate calcu-
lated to accomplish this desirable end?
Investigate the sales of the Riddle prop
erty; the Miller Thomas property and a
few Others, and the point under discussion
will appeal more strongly to your keen
sense Of business sagacty. Let us help
Wilmington with profitable publicity?
The real estate men will profit most by
the move-they should lead the way.
Real estate advertising should be general
as well as specifc-general as to locali-
ties; specific as to properties. You can

ONE of the curious features in the case
of Mrs. Botkin, who is charged with
sending box of poisoned candy through
the mails to Mrs. Dunning at Dover, has
been the attitude of Governor Budd Of
California.
From the time OF Mrs. Botkin's arrest
the Governor has seemed anxious to pre-.
vent her extradition, instead of using his
official powers to further the interests OF
justice. The attorneys Of the prisoner
have hardly shown greater degree OF
zeal in her behalf than the Chief Execu.
tive OF the commonwealth in which she
resides, and now that Governor Budd
has been forced by public opinion to
order her extradition he makes no secret
of his hope that the courts will nullify
his action and direct that the accused
woman shall not be given up to the
Delaware authorities.
1t is possible that Governor Budd is
convinced of Mrs. Botkin's innocence,
although the great majority of persons
who are familiar with the details .of the
case believe her guilty. Yet if the de-
fendant was not really concerned in the
Pioe w SauSC Vic NlCdlI vi ME bllllllllS, ,
she should have no difficulty in
establishing that fact before the courts OF
Delaware. Her stubborn resistance to
the process of eXtradition has decidedly
suspicious look.
An innocent woman should have been
glad Of the opportunity to clear her name
from a charge OF such an appalling
nature. People with a clean conscience
do not usually expend large sums OF
money or carry on an obstinate and pro-
tracted fight in order to keep beyond the
reach OF the law.-E'r"i"g BuI'fi".
The attitude of Governor Budd is a
curious feature. Another curious feature
is the way in which Dunning's response
bility in the matter has been ignored.
Had Dunning been true to his marriage
VOWS, Mrs. Botkin would have had no
incentive to commit the crime which re-
suited in the death of two women.
Much has been written and more de-
veloped by the authorities about the init
macy OF Dunning with this woman. Yet
Dunning and his moral responsibility for
this crime of a century are completely
ignored. He is held up as victim.
True, the law deals only with facts.
Mrs. Botkin's guilt is not proven. The
mesh which encirces her is the record of
Dunning's licentiousness-self confessed.
There may be sensational charges and
equally startling developments when
Mrs. Botkin stands before jury. There
can be nothing which can palliate the
moral rottenness which begot the posi-
bility of the crime.

business. You can best help your busi-

Think this over.

In discussing the Quay case the Morn-
ing Neus quotes District Attorney Graham
as saying:
ut does not make any difference
whether the Peoples Bank lost cent by
the stock ventures. The fact that the
states money or any other of the banks
money had been taken by the cashier
and used for stock speculation was con-
trary to law and the orders the cashier
had. 1t was the handling of the state
funds for material benefit accruing out of
stock deals that makes the conspiracy"
The paragraph is followed with this
comment:
"This is the vital point at issue and it
is one that needs to be passed upon by
court of justice. The sitting magistrate
was satisfied that the evidence warranted
the holding of the accused and that
settles it. The friends of the gentlemen
now under bail may charge political
conspiracy and all that sort OF thing, but
it does not carry much weight. The dis
trict attorney and the sitting magistrate
have acted in their official capacities,
and if they have been guilty of NAL
feasance in Office they are just as liable
to arrest as were tile men now under
bail. The same point involved in the
Quay case is involved in the Kenney
case in this state and is one that should
be definitely settled. 1t is whether a
man can be held blameless who unlaw-
fully uses the money of bank even
though he paws it back again. The fact
that money thus used, in such cases, is
returned does not lessen the response
bility for violation of the law on the
subject. In the case of Senator Quay, as
in the case of Senator Kenney, the only
thing left is to secure a decided verdict
from a jury. No disagreement or dis
missal of either case will be salts
factory"
Here is an intelligent presentment Of
the case against Senator Kenney:
"Whether man can be held blame
less who unlawfully uses the money of a
bank even though he pays it back
again.
An eminent attorney put the same
thought in these words:
''If man steals your mhite horse on
Monday and brings you black one on
Saturday, he has none the less stolen
your mhite horse and is none the less a
thief within the meaning and intent OF
the law"
